Mike's K Auto Repair are honest and true to their word. I have a 2002 Jetta that I took to a…read morenearby dealership to get a 95,000 mile check-up on. I was told at that time that I would also need new breaks and rotors and that it would be 4 hours of labor plus parts, for a total of almost $900! Since I am new to the area, I was just not sure who to trust. Luckily, they did not have the parts in stock which gave me a night to think about such a costly (and necessary repair). I called a place from my home town to ask if this was a reasonable price and amt of time spent on labor. I was informed that I basically was being taken advantage of with regards to the amt of labor they wanted to charge. I decided to call Mike K's Auto Repair because I had heard such great reports from friends. They gave me a quote over the phone that was $400 cheaper than the dealership. I dropped my car off in the morning and by mid-afternoon I picked it up with new break pads and rotors for even less than their quote over the phone. By going with a local and trusted Auto Repair shop I saved $425! Their customer service was far superior than the dealership that I went to a few days previously. They explained what needed to be done and why. I am going to be recommending Mike K's to all of my friends who want an honest repair shop!

I love this shop. As a woman, I feel like a lot of places try to upsell, over inflate prices, or…read morefind random stuff to replace. Mike K's auto doesn't do that. They're honest, treat me with respect and kindness, and are genuinely helpful. I've taken my last car and my current one to them and call if I have questions and they always have time to research, compare prices, and help me understand. He even tells me if it's a super simple fix and recommends when he thinks I should do it myself vs spending the money at a shop.

This shop was hired to repair a muffler issue, but the exhaust continued getting louder after they…read moresaid it had been fixed. Our regular mechanic later inspected the vehicle and immediately found and repaired a hole on the top of the exhaust near the front--an issue that was easy to hear and feel. A repair shop should be able to identify and fix a basic exhaust problem, especially when the symptoms are so obvious. Their oil-change prices are comparable to other shops, but they wanted to charge $70 for a tire rotation, which seemed excessive. I also found the shop's odor unpleasant, with strong smells resembling car exhaust, dog waste, and sewer gas. They may be fine for routine services such as oil changes, but based on my experience, I would be cautious about trusting them with more extensive repairs.

TL;DR: I paid this shop to investigate a serious oil…read morepressure code. Instead of properly diagnosing the issue with a simple oil pressure test (~$100-$200), Doug (the owner) cleared the code and charged me for a mass air flow sensor instead. This led me to spend money on repairs for a car whose engine was dying--something Chevy confirmed shortly after. The shop was evasive, dismissive, and in the end, wasted my time and money while my warranty expired. --- Full Review: Do not bring your vehicle here if you care about honest diagnostics and clear communication. Last year, I had my throttle body replaced here, and while the work was okay, it was done by one of their regular techs--not Doug, the owner. This year, when my check engine light came back on, things went completely downhill. In late May, I brought my car in with a specific concern: an oil pressure code, which is notoriously tied to serious engine issues in my car model (Chevy Malibu 2016-2018). Chevy even has recalls for this issue--just not for my specific trim. I explicitly asked the shop to investigate this code. Doug took over the service this time. Instead of performing a simple oil pressure test (a basic and relatively cheap way to confirm if the code was serious), he cleared the codes, claimed one didn't return, and recommended I replace the mass air flow sensor instead--which I paid for. He failed to inform me until after the work that he never actually ruled out the oil pressure issue with the proper test. This gave me a false sense of security. I thought the issue was handled, only for the car to worsen significantly over the next two weeks. When I returned to the shop, Doug claimed the oil pressure code was back--and he needed to look into it again. I told him we had already paid for that! That's when things got truly frustrating. Doug became argumentative and defensive, telling me he "can't remember every car" and denying the code was in his notes--until he found it at the top of the receipt. By this time, my warranty had expired, which was devastating because if he had performed the test and diagnosed the engine problem properly the first time, I may have gotten help from the warranty company. He offered to "call the warranty provider" to help but never did--despite me calling to check multiple times. I ended up taking the car to Chevy, who confirmed exactly what I feared: my engine was failing. They advised a full engine replacement. The cost of digging further into the failure wasn't even worth it at that point. To top it off, when I called back to get a simple oil change receipt (to prove to Chevy that I maintained the car properly), Doug was supposed to call me on Friday. But surprise--he doesn't work Fridays. I called again, and when he finally returned my call, he screamed at me for "threatening" his workers (which I absolutely did not do) and rambled about how his dad built the shop. When I told him other mechanics had said he absolutely should have done the oil pressure test, he acted like that wasn't required and said he doesn't have to explain everything he does to customers. That's a huge red flag for anyone relying on honest diagnostics. His solution? Bring the car back and do a payment plan with him for a fix that should've been diagnosed correctly the first time. He said he doesn't usually offer that kind of deal, but would "do it for us" since we have a kid and are tight on money. --- Bottom Line: This shop might be okay for simple fixes, but the owner Doug is dismissive, unprofessional, and refuses to take responsibility for serious mistakes. I paid out-of-pocket for a repair that I never would've done had I known my engine was dying. Now I'm out of warranty, down thousands of dollars, and have a car with a blown engine. I do not recommend taking your vehicle here--especially for anything beyond basic work.
