Luxury European Vehicle Care
When you invest in a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, or other European vehicle, you expect performance, luxury, and engineering excellence that sets these brands apart. In the Stratford area, Wendell Taylor’s Garage stands alone as the premier destination for European vehicle service.
Most local shops won’t even attempt to service European vehicles because they lack the specialized equipment, training, and expertise these sophisticated machines demand.
