Gordon & Sandifer has handled auto repair in Baton Rouge from the same spot on Perkins Road since 1956. We repair and maintain domestic and Asian cars, SUVs, minivans and light pickups, and we fix collision damage in the same shop. One call covers a check engine light, a new set of tires or a crumpled fender.
Our approach is simple. We inspect your vehicle, tell you what we found, sort it into what needs attention now and what can wait, and start work only after you say yes. Neighbors from Southdowns, Rouzan, Westdale Heights and all across East Baton Rouge Parish have trusted us with their cars for decades, and some families have been coming to us for more than one generation.
A trip to the shop should fit into your day with as little hassle as possible. These are a few of the ways we make that easier for the drivers who come to our Perkins Road shop from Mid City, the LSU area and neighborhoods all over Baton Rouge.
Pour a cup at the coffee bar, get some work done on the Wi-Fi or catch the news on TV while we take care of your oil change or tire rotation.
If you can’t get here during the workday, drop your car off after we close and we’ll call you once we’ve taken a look.
Our family has owned and run this shop since 1956, and it’s now in its third generation of family ownership.
Gordon & Sandifer has been family owned and operated since 1956, and today John and Jerome Wiley own the shop. We built our name on honest, low-pressure service with no upselling. You decide what gets done, and nobody gets sold work they don’t need.
When you come in for one thing, we look the vehicle over, explain what we found, and tell you plainly what needs attention now and what can wait. A shop that sold people repairs they didn’t need would not last 70 years in one neighborhood, and many of our customers have been with us for 20 and 30 years.
We can also fix the whole car. Mechanical repair, tires and collision repair happen under one roof, so after a wreck the same shop repairs the body and paint, aligns the wheels, checks the suspension and the AC condenser behind the grille, and calibrates the driver-assist cameras and sensors, without sending your car to a second shop. Our technicians are ASE certified, and our collision work is I-CAR certified. We sell and install Cooper, Bridgestone and Firestone tires, and AC Delco and Mopar are parts brands we’re authorized with. Fair, consistent prices and clear updates while your car is with us round out the way we like to do business.
From routine oil changes to collision repair, our shop handles the everyday work that keeps domestic and Asian cars, SUVs, minivans and light pickups on the road. These are the services Baton Rouge drivers ask us about most, and you can browse the rest in our full list of auto repair services.
When something feels, sounds or smells wrong, we find the cause, give you a clear estimate and explain which repairs need attention now. We work on everyday vehicles like the Toyota Camry, Honda CR-V, Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Tahoe. Read more about our general auto repair and maintenance.
Baton Rouge heat and stop-and-go traffic on Perkins Road and College Drive are hard on engine oil. We change the oil and filter with the right oil for your engine, top off fluids and take a quick look over the vehicle. See how our oil change service works.
Squealing, grinding, a pulsing pedal or a car that pulls when you stop are all signs your brakes need a look. We inspect the pads, rotors, calipers, hoses and fluid, then show you what we found before any work begins. Get the details on brake repair.
Potholes and patched roads after heavy rain knock wheels out of line, which causes pulling, an off-center steering wheel and uneven tire wear. We check for worn parts first, then align the wheels to your vehicle’s specifications. Learn more about wheel alignment.
From a small dent or bumper scuff to a fender that took a real hit, our body shop repairs and refinishes your vehicle and matches the paint. We work with most auto insurance companies and help you through the claim. Visit our collision repair page.
