Huge thank you to Holden Automotive and especially Christian for helping us out during a really stressful situation. We were driving from Phoenix after getting the oil changed on our 2016 BMW X5 xDrive40e when the original shop failed to tighten the oil filter correctly, causing a major oil leak and leaving us stranded about 75 miles outside of Kingman. AAA towed us to Holden Automotive, and even though we arrived around 7 AM, Christian and the team jumped right on the car and took great care of us. They were professional, kind, honest, and understood the urgency of our situation. After a long stressful night on the side of the road, it was such a relief to find a shop willing to help immediately and get us safely back on the road. Highly recommend Holden Automotive if you're ever in the Kingman area and need trustworthy service. read more

Great job finding a problem he was having and fixing it without overpricing. He will definitely be back! My husband is happy he found a new repair shop! Kathy Burt-Martenuk read more

While towing a small fifth wheel 70 miles out of Kingman, my new to me truck blew it's cooling system, leaving us on the side of the road at sunset. Our vehicles were dropped off at Holden's after midnight. They open their doors at 7am. I got a call at my hotel at 7:01 asking if they could test the cooling system. At 7:36am, they had their diagnosis and estimate to fix my rig. Of course I said yes. During the course of the day, I researched the quote and every item was more than reasonably priced. At 4:15 they called letting me know all of the work was completed and that as a traveler I was considered a priority. They replaced both radiator hoses, fuel pump, thermostat, radiator cap and drive belt. Drove the remaining 1,000 miles home without a hitch. Everyone at Holdens in person and over the phone is over the top courteous and professional. read more

On day one of a multi-day/state road trip my Nissan's radiator cracked open on the 40 in Kingman. There were a few shops nearby to get towed to - and I am glad I chose Holden's. Our day/night plans to meet up with a friend in Colorado were blown, and it did take about $1,500 bucks and 5-6 hours of waiting - but I got a spanking new radiator, hoses and thermostat, and we did make it to our friend's (2am instead of 8pm). The staff was friendly, the waiting area was clean, and since knew about how long the wait would be, they even called an Uber for us to take our dog to a nearby park/shopping plaza to burn some time. The whole situation COULD have been much worse - my head was spinning with the thought of needing to rent a car to finish out our trip while my Nissan sat in a shop for days, or who knows how long. Herman and the crew got us on the road again in the same day, which was a huge relief. read more

Engine light came on and had to bring my car into the shop. Throughout, I was told how long each process would be and they contacted me every step if the way there. They found the root of the problem as well and informed me with what could also be done and what timeframe it should be done with an estimate. Was never pressured into any decisions and had time to contact my dad and friend mechanic to verify the price for the tasks including labor. Overall fair prices. Will be recommended to anyone who asks for a shop to bring their car in. This is my go to from now on. read more

This hard-working team is conscientious, trust-worthy, and great at communicating with customers. They send photos of any parts that need to be repaired or replace. It is hard to find this level of quality auto work at reasonable price. I requested a road-trip ready vehicle so that I could travel without worries. Holdens has been my go-to auto shop since I moved to town. read more

Replaced my bottom fuel filter today. I only needed the bottom done because Valvoline had replaced my top one the day before. The work they did was fine but I paid over $400 for it Including parts and labor. The filter itself is about $40 for a kit that comes with both top and bottom. I don't mind paying for a job well done but they definitely robbed me. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. Overcharged price for poor quality of work. Put a water pump in and did not put the bolts on the pump correctly. I would not recommend ever going to them! Almost $2000 for service. read more

Holdens went above and beyond last week when my car started overheating on a trip from Tucson to Las Vegas. It was a Friday afternoon but they were still able to have a look, get parts, and have it repaired for us to pick up the next day. The manager Scott also went out of his way looking for a way to get us to a concert in Vegas that night. The final bill was below the estimate, which was nice after paying extra to get to Vegas. I can see why other recommendations are so good for this local auto shop! read more

I have had my car serviced twice and both times it was done quickly and at a very fair price. Jobs were done professionally and I was very happy with the quality of the work. Very friendly staff and kept me updated on the repairs. I highly recommend Holden's for any auto repairs. read more

I am highly conflicted about this review. The shop came highly recommended by someone I trust and while he inferred, their pricing was higher than some, it wasn't until I got an estimate for a brake job at about $900, just how high their pricing was. Having to set all this, I went ahead with the work, as I was impressed by the shop itself, and the staff in the office. They did a comprehensive review of the items needed on my vehicle. Again, Sticker shock. I value peoples expertise And I trust Holdens has above par quality of workmanship. Unfortunately, for me, they may just be out of my price range regrettably. read more

Double charged me for service and parts, did unauthorized services to my vehicle (including one that can cause other issues), an had no sense of urgency (did not provide an ETA nor updates, went to the shop and saw my car sitting in the lot not being worked on and had not received a call to say it was done). Check your bill carefully and clarify exactly what they plan on doing before authorizing any repair or service. read more

I am a new customer who went in for an oil change. These are the things I noticed as I waited for my service to be completed: 1) several customers called or came in to get help with problems and they were able to fit them in fairly quickly to help. One woman came in because she wasn't able to open up her trunk. The service advisor went out and resolved the problem in a few minutes, at no charge to her. That shows me that they have a helpful attitude towards their customers. 2) My oil change bill was less than the quick service place I went to last time. That was a nice surprise! I went there for an oil change because I think it is important to have regular maintenance. Having it done at a locally owned, full service shop, at a fair price is the way to go. Hopefully, any problems that might arise are prevented by regular maintenance and inspections, ultimately, SAVING me money and time. read more

Had a rattling issue with my Toyota, brought it over to Holden's where they quickly diagnosed the issue and got me back on the road. Fantastic service and an easy recommendation. Thank you guys! read more

The job done right the first time. Staff is customer orientated. Customer satisfaction is job one. Highly recommended!!! read more

Pulled over on a cross country road trip with every dash light on. Everybody at Holden's was so honest about the situation and gave us really good advice. Had we not been on a time crunch we definitely would have entrusted them with the car repair. Great, friendly, and honest team. Thank you! read more

Brought my 2005 Corolla in, it would not turn over at all. Starter was bad. Repair was fast, price was fair, and they didn't try to sell me on any other repairs, as we made it clear this was our in-town only beater that we just want to keep running. Service was friendly and professional! We will be back! read more

They were very professional. They offered Uber so I didn't need to sit and wait which I appreciated. The cost came under what we were quoted. I'd definitely recommend them. read more

I brought my 1988 Bronco II in for new tires, shocks and intermittent starting issue. Sherry and the staff were extremely knowledgeable, familiar with the vehicle and found some things after an inspection that needed repair. This is the best my BII has run in the 2 years Ive owned it. They also stated within the estimated budget for everything. I'm very pleased with the service and will be a returning customer for years to come. read more

vehicle: Lexus 330 (2004) 209,000 Services: Front Struts, New Battery and Oil Change. She drives like new she has a few more fixed that need done but this was in Desperate need of the struts. driving over all the cattle guards was an E-ticket ride. I chose Holden's because of their Excellent reviews and I am not disappointed. when thi finances are in order we'll take her back there to fix the rest. Would I recommend Holden's? Absolutely. read more

Excellent work on my daughter's vehicle and I was even more impressed by professional staff in front office.

Very thorough, very well trained,very helpful. They are the only ones to work on my 2008 hd diesel

Refused to work on our E-350 Super Duty because "it's a bus," though it is not, it's a van. Seems they can't work on large vehicles "because of their insurance." Say they work on all makes but that doesn't say much when you're so limited on your models; wouldn't bring anything bigger than an F150 here if I were you, and I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to come here since they may not even walk outside to look at your vehicle no matter how easy the job might be. There are so many other highly rated mechanics in this town, I'd recommend one of them instead. read more

My a/c blower stopped working in my jeep. They were 2 weeks out in work but got mine in and fixed within 2-3 days. I'm so grateful because no a/c during the week it was over 100 every day was not doable. They also gave us a veteran discount on parts. Thank you so much and thank you for honoring those who served. Blessings! read more

On our road trip we noticed a potentially serious issue with our car and brought it to Holden's in the morning. They diagnosed the problem, gave us an estimate and ordered the parts. Service advisor Jeffrey informed us about the progress, so that we could change the hotel reservations, and he organized getting lunch downtown. We got our car back in the afternoon, with a bill close to the original estimate. We were happy to be able to continue our trip on the same day, thanks to the concerted effort of Holden's employees. read more

If I could give these guys more than 5 stars, I would. They went completely above and beyond to get us back on the road. Moving across country; pregnant with 2 kids and 3 dogs- having the water pump fail was definitely not on the agenda. Holden's was our life saver to get us back and going. Amazing team with exceptional customer service. read more

I stopped by with a check engine light on from our trip from Los Angeles, CA. They were very friendly and quickly found the time to diagnose my truck. Their service was excellent and their recommendations right on point. Thank you to all at Holden's Auto Service for a job very well done! read more

The front end ... rack and pinion etc, had worn out on my 2017 Nissan Altima. We decided to have Holdens replace the worn parts and fix it. Which was done. After several months the steering became difficult. We took the car back in and learned that part of the equipment from the previous repair had failed. That's the bad part. The good part is that with no hassle they replaced and repaired the faulty parts and we are good to go. There was no cost to us as the parts and work was still warranted! Yay Holdens! read more

I made a appointment for a oil change on my Rubicon Jeep. I dropped off the Jeep and the office staff was great. The Mechanics did a great job & and ran a clean/organized shop. The Vehicle Inspection thorough. I will bring all my cars/trucks to Holden's for server or repairs. read more

As they say, when it rains, it pours! Navigation display went out in 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L. A week later, the air conditioning stopped putting out cold air. An ongoing problem has been a noisy rear end (loud whining noise). I changed out the navigation display and Holden's did their magic with the air conditioning and rear end. Excellent work, fair prices, and super friendly people to deal with. I would highly recommend them! read more

Holdens is the best in repairing the issues but, as a senior citizen I have used them twice. Both times I was charged an excessive amount for labor. Just yesterday I was charged almost $80 dollars for labor. $40 for parts. Last year I was charged several thousands to fix my car but, most of that was you guessed it... labor. they do great work but the amount for labor is ridiculous. if you're on a really fixed income, you may want to check out other shops who won't take your grocery and medicine money for the month. read more

Herman is great. The BEST auto mechanics!!! Fixed my electrical in car NO CHARGE!! Will always use them.

We moved here from another state 2023. And I'm sceptical on who I could trust to take care of my Audi. I found this shop via internet. Whenever I tried to do research for a good place, I go to the internet and look for a very good stars and read people's comments. And I could attest that most of the good comments I read were actually true. You could tell and feel it in your heart when you walked in through that door... And my experienced with them taking care of my car were positive feeling. I immediately got a good impression of this place. The crew are friendly, and very welcoming. They seemed to have a very good knowledge about the business. They don't seem like any other car shop that will only sell you bs. I kinda had a feeling of trust towards them. I'm very impressed with the system while your car is on the operating table :) You'll be informed of everything that's going on with your car via text with a picture and a link of video to explain everything. Just like in a big car dealership but in a small car shop. The price is kind a little high for me, but as the saying goes..hey "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR". I'm very happy that I made the right choice in choosing this shop. A clean bathroom is also a big plus for me. Definitely will come back! I found my shop! Yay...Herman is my guy! Kuddos to you and the crew! read more

My sister was driving by herself on the way from California to Sedona, AZ and her car stopped working on the I-40! Thankfully, she had her car towed to Holden's Auto Shop and she said the staff were all so kind. She said they were already having an extremely busy day and when she arrived at the shop, it was late in the day. They were able to identify her car's issue, order the correct part from another shop in the city, and fix it up all in that short time, so that she could get back on the road again. I think she said they stayed a little late after close to help her too. Thank you all for going above and beyond to help get my sister to her destination safe! read more

Holden's found the source of a rattle that two other mechanics could not find. Scott listened to me as I described the noise. As a woman, sometimes mechanics tend to not listen to what you are saying, but Scott listened!!! Thank you so much for fixing all the other problems, I now feel safe driving the vehicle again. You have no idea how relived I am to not have the rattle anymore. THANK YOU!! read more

Kept my car nearly 3 months during most of which they didn't touch it. After one failed repair they lied over and over to me finally telling me it was fixed and had been tested. It hadn't. It wasn't. The main thing I despise was the dishonesty. When I picked it up it hadn't been moved for at least 3 weeks. I doubt if they ever looked at it once. Almost didn't make it to the next repair shop that finally did fix it. Charged me over $700 and fixed nothing. Made it worse. read more

I AM 65 years old, that is to simply say, I've been around the block enough to know when there's a good thing. I recently had an issue with my vehicle that I would take to my mechanic that I have used for years. Unfortunately, they were too busy to take care of the problem. A friend of mine recommended Holden's, so I thought I would give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised to see a clean office, computers, and knowledgeable staff. The person I dealt with was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. My job was completed on time at a reasonable price. If you're new in town or just have never tried Holden's Automotive Repair, I recommend them 100% John S. read more

My friend and I were driving across the country and experienced some car issues. These guys were the nicest people ever. They were honest about what we should fix and what we could wait on fixing, very welcoming and hospitable, and drove us to get lunch while we waited for the car. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Do not ues. They are all about the up selling. They don't fix and tell you just come back. We can't find the problem. Scott is all about up selling and will treat you badly. They will not fix even though you have a warntty. Scott will say .I have the right to refuse service. Orginal charge was a bit over 300. For air recharge. 3 trips . Keeping my car for a week on second trip with appiotment. 3 trip 3 and a half wait.before they said dont know whats wrong come back. When questioned. Scott refused to service on car that is under there warranty. Sad read more
