He was very generous and gave me an incredible deal for my car. He was excellent in providing options and when I sent my car in to get it fixed he fixed it the day of.

I've already paid Kevin's auto repair $425 for nothing and wasted so much money and stranded living at my job since 12/16/2025!!!! Kevin's auto repair are criminals fair warning. This has ruined my life! Response: first of all not living in my jeep I have a home in Miami, OK but uber is damn expensive back and forth to home when I work 12 hour shifts as a crisis specialist! Asshole! I could have fixed the Tran pan later! You're not helping me at all you're hurting me more and more. I could have been told it was the transmission the day it got to y'all!!!

I'm new to the area and I, like everyone else, was looking for a place that did good work and was…read morereasonable. I found it. They do excellent work and are very friendly and helpful. The service consultant, or front desk guy as I call him, was so helpful at every step. He is Eric Fleming. He is very friendly and helpful. I am not real tech savvy and he even helped me apply for a loaner car, They needed information on my insurance on the computer. This guy must put on 20 miles a day on his feet. He is at the front desk, then he is in the shop, then he is in the office, and then he is outside getting the car ready for inspection. Eric, the mechanic who checked my car took me into the auto shop and showed me what had to be done and why. He also wrote up the estimate. Very good service. Then Rich came out and went over the estimate with me. Also very good service. I told them I had to think about it. There was no high pressure. There wasn't even low pressure. So I decided to trust them and I am glad I did. Then I had a problem with the loaner car. It was my fault not the cars. So I called 360. I told them the problem and Eric F. said he would send someone to help me. I was about 10 minutes away from the shop. In less then 15 minutes Shane, the owner of 360 showed up. In less then 1 minute he had the problem fixed. He was so polite. I apologized for my ignorance and for bothering him. He said it was no bother and he wanted to go for a ride anyway (he came out on his motorcycle). He was very understanding and kept reassuring me that I wasn't a pain in the butt. So everybody I dealt with there was very helpful and polite. This is where I take my cars from now on.

Internet said sugar does not have a pH value and would not prevent car from starting. There would also be a kettle corn smell when running. I did not believe that since I had a locking gas gap so I checked the gas tank myself and it had water in it from the damaged gas can I used when it ran out of gas. The gas can had mostly water in it instead of gas. Easy fix compared to their $1600 they wanted to fix it. Water does have a pH value.

If they replaced the trans cooler they would have to replace the whole radiator but there is no line for radiator or coolant on this invoice. Basically they are adding stuff to invoices just to turn a profit. Lying about what work they actual are doing. Its nice to know that corporate mechanics are still out there stealing from honest working Americans. Already canceled payment with my credit card, sent photos showing that the radiator was not replaced and the cooler lines were never touched. They will get what's coming to them, will never recommend a place like this again.
