    I have taken my 2005 Ford Expedition to Kittle's Garage for several years now and I am thoroughly…read moresatisfied with their service. I am always acknowledged when I come in and their service is always outstanding. They won't leave you hanging by not telling you if they find something, by the same token, they don't do any work that you don't personally authorize. I can easily recommend them to friends and family for vehicle repairs. I can only say that they are totally honest, hard working, and I would trust them with my vehicle any time.

    I see there are many not so good reviews for Kittles. I want to respond with my account of my…read moredealings with Kittles. I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD LS with 244,000 miles on the clock. I bought it used a couple of years ago. I don't drive it a lot. My research shows that many mechanics believe this truck and engine is one of Chevrolets best trucks. Overengineered is the common theme. When I first got it my wife and I drove from Little Rock to Rogers, AR and the engine began to misfire and the service light began to flash. This made my wife very nervous. After that she wouldn't ride in it. So I began a service quest. I spent many hours researching common causes and found it was a common problem with this engine and there were many suggested fixes that might work. I took it too a couple of garages and found they worked by guess work and never fixing the problem. I had no confidence that they could. I took it to Kittles and began a program over about two years to finally get the truck in shape. They started with basic testing finding that the engine and drivetrain were in very good shape relatively speaking. Beginning with the electronics, the sensors and fuel pumps they found a couple of bad sensors and replaced the ones that failed. Over several services they moved forward fixing the faults of each next step of the ignition and fuel systems. This all done with thorough testing and diagnostics. Each trip I was supplied with complete information of faults with which to make decisions on what I would spend good money on. I would drive it between services and still get the misfires. Eventually they worked through to what I would call the end being the coils, spark plugs and wires. Also there were other issues with the master cylinder, a leaky power steering line, a coolant leak, etc. Now the truck runs like it should. No leaks, good compression, no oil burning and plenty of power. They also made good recommendations for a local upholstery shop to fix the drivers seat, and other things. I don't work for free so I don't expect they should work for free as in the diagnostic and testing part. Especially since they are using sophisticated equipment to do so accurately. I have spent a lot of money on this truck but based on my studies I don't doubt this truck will go another 250,000 miles. I could have traded it off for a new one but the reviews for similar new models are not great and they are way more complex and overly luxurious for my taste. So I decided to make the investments. I expect to pay for the diagnostics and they kept me informed of what the exact costs would be and I had the choice or option to have the work done. They knew going forward that my main concern was that my wife would get in it and have confidence that we would get to our destination and back with no problems. The old sayings being true that you get what you pay for and that's the price for peace of mind. I have had to place my trust in the folks at Kittles and I believe it is well placed. But if you want cheap short-cuts don't go to Kittles. The systems in making these engines and other components run efficiently are complex and problems with one set causes problems in others. The whole electronic system needs to run correctly and there can be multiple problems related to one and this can cause undue wear and tear on others. The idea with the premium service they advertise is to test and fix everything related that fails. I would never have been able to determine two coils were kaput, or that one sensor was torn out and wrapped around the drive shaft or that another sensor was non-functioning and some of the others functioned below spec. And try to do repairs in my driveway?!

    I called them to level my camper out and Chris was absolutely positively 100% very professional…read morevery quick and really really good I would recommend him to anybody When I called he was here within 30 minutes and the quality and value was definitely worth it. So I would say ask for Chris he is the only one I know from that company as the only one I have dealt with and OMG he is so friendly, and like I said very professional and did it quick. So yes I will recommend him to anybody.

    Apologies if this is a long story. After my mother in Michigan gifted my daughter her 2001 VW…read moreBeetle with 48,000 miles on it, my daughter and I traveled from California to pick up the car. We headed out on Thursday morning for the 5 day drive back home to Oakland California, taking a northern route to stop by Badlands National Park and Mt Rushmore. By Saturday evening, we arrived in Cheyenne WY, where we spent the night. After looking at the weather forecast for the Sierra mountains, we decided to pick up some chains for our tires at the local Walmart in Laramie, WY, before continuing on our trip. On Sunday morning, as we got close to Laramie on I-80, the engine started sputtering, misfiring and losing power. The EPC light kept flashing and it was clear something was wrong. I was able to make it to the local Walmart parking lot, though the car stalled a few times on the way there. After I parked, I was unable to generate any power beyond idling, and the car continued to stall. I consulted yelp and google to find a local mechanic, but none of the local shops were open on Sunday. I saw a listing for Rise High Auto Repair, which described itself as a mobile mechanic company. I called the number and spoke with the proprietor, Chris on the phone. He said he could be there in 35 minutes and would diagnose the problem for $125 ($95 diagnostic fee and $35 travel fee) in the Walmart parking lot and that the $95 diagnostic fee would count against the repair cost if we opted to have him repair the car. When Chris arrived in his mobile truck, he was incredibly friendly and he got straight to work. He recommended replacing the spark plugs and wires, thinking that would address the issue. After finishing the repair and clearing the codes, he suggested I drive around in the parking lot a few times to reset the computer to see if the repair addressed the issue. However it did not. I made it about 200 feet and the initial problem persisted. He said he thought it could be an issue with the throttle, which he said he could clean, but if it needed replacement, I'd need to spend a couple of days in Laramie, because it was unlikely any of the local part shops would have the necessary part in inventory. He took apart the throttle, cleaned it out, and reset the computer. We decided to take our chances and see if we could make it to Salt Lake City and then Elko NV, which was about 625 miles away. The car ran well all the way to Elko. We got to Elko around 10:30 pm, and I noticed I had a text from Chis checking in on us to see how the trip was going. On Monday morning, we continued our trip back to Oakland and arrived safely with no further issues. Again, I had a text from Chris on Monday, to see if we made it home ok. All told we drove over 1100 miles. I can't say enough about Chris. First, he was incredibly competent. I could tell from speaking with him that he is extremely knowledgeable about automobile repairs. Watching him work, I felt like I was watching a surgeon. He made all of the repairs in the Walmart parking lot and he worked efficiently and thoroughly to ensure that he was able to repair the car. It was cold and windy on this particular Sunday and he invested over 4 hours of his time fixing our car outside. Finally, he was incredibly honest and kind. He cared enough to check in on us until we got home, something he really didn't need to do. I unequivocally recommend using Chris and his company if you find yourself in Laramie WY.
