About Gordon & Sandifer Auto Service
Gordon & Sandifer has been fixing cars on Perkins Road since 1956, and it is still family owned and operated, now in its third generation. Owners John and Jerome Wiley run the shop today. Jerome started at the bottom, sweeping floors, changing oil and changing tires, and the shop has spent seven decades building relationships across Baton Rouge. The Better Business Bureau has listed it as an Accredited Business since 1967, and it holds an A+ rating.
What sets it apart in Baton Rouge is scope. Gordon & Sandifer is a full mechanical shop and a full collision center at the same address. On the mechanical side that means brakes, oil changes, wheel alignments, steering and suspension, check engine light diagnosis, electrical diagnostics, heating and A/C, and tires from Bridgestone, Firestone and Cooper. On the collision side it means dent and bumper repair, frame work and paint with color matching, with technicians who are ASE certified and I-CAR certified.
After a wreck, the shop acts as your advocate through the insurance claim. It works with most major insurance companies, writes the estimate, and keeps you updated while the car is in the shop. Because the mechanical bays are in the same building, a car that needs an alignment or A/C work after a collision stays with the same team.
The thing customers repeat most is the way the shop talks to them. The team inspects the car, explains what it found and what can wait, and does not sell work the car does not need. Customers wait in a lounge with a coffee bar, TV and Wi-Fi, or use the after-hours drop-off. The shop sits about two miles east of LSU, close to Southdowns, Rouzan, the Garden District and Mid City, and it supports Prospect Baseball, Stillwaters Refuge of Hope and St. Jude.
Why Gordon & Sandifer is our #1 in Baton Rouge
Gordon & Sandifer holds #1 in Baton Rouge for four reasons you can check. It carries the highest rating among the busiest independent shops in the city, a 4.9 across 860 Google reviews. It has 70 years on Perkins Road, family owned since 1956 and BBB Accredited since 1967. It is the only shop on our Baton Rouge list with a full collision center beside its mechanical bays, so one shop can handle the claim, the body work and the repairs.

What customers say
“They were wonderful! Honest, reliable, and fair in pricing. We are from Maryland and our daughter attends LSU. We found Gordan & Sandifer online and chose to use them due to their reviews. We had no clue what was wrong with it. We are thankful we now have a mechanic our daughter can use for the next 4 years of college and she will also send other students too. Our daughter is very happy!!”
“For the the past 15+ years we’ve had far too many of our Kids’ cars involved in far too many collisions. g&S has always been the first people we call. They’ve been a trusted resource. They do excellent work and they communicate with us all along the way. The kids are finally grown, but we’ll continue to use and recommend Gordon & Sandifer for all of our auto repair needs.”
“Gordon and Sandifer has been THE place for my entire family to take our cars since I was a child. Friendly, honest and great work. I wouldn't go anywhere else.”
“Always reliable and efficient. Have used the automotive repair as well as the body shop. Excellent response time and straightforward recommendations. Never hesitate to trust their judgement.”
