Sometimes when you're moving your nervous and feeble 85 year old wheelchair bound mother from a…read morenursing home in Iowa to one near you in Mississippi, in the dead of winter, despite all your vehicle concerns and the preparation they induced, things will go wrong, and you will feel an overwhelming sense of dread. If this happens to you, I'd suggest it happen somewhere on Hwy 218 near Brad Holtkamp Automotive. I found that if you drive directly there, despite the fact that everyone desires their service and they stay busy--they are great human beings. They know when it's important to bend the money rules a notch to help a perfect stranger in a perceived tough spot. The shop is spotless, organized, and efficient like a German farmer's home place. The people are magic, skilled, current on the technology and have my gratitude. Also, someone there bakes fantastic cookies and as if the excellent, reasonably priced service wasn't enough--delicious cookies. Highly recommend. Their website backs me up: https://bradholtkampautomotiveinc.net

I can't say enough positives about this place!! We are ever grateful to Mike & his staff! We were…read moredriving through when my engine light came on. I called and they said stop in and we will take a look. 15 minutes later we pulled in and Mike dropped what he was doing to help us out. He took the time to take a look and when it was something rare he called and made sure to investigate the problem-- providing us with much needed peace-of-mind. Not many places today would stop and take the time to help travelers just passing through. Thank you again! A big thanks to Mike!!

Shady business practice, very dishonest. I work in Mt…read more Pleasant, but live 3 hours away. I broke down on my way to working, having a bearing go out. I had my pickup towed here only because it was close to where I worked. A few days later I got a call confirming what I knew, plus a few other problems. I asked for an "out the door quote" and was asked if I wanted cheap, or heavy duty parts. I said I wanted heavy duty and was quoted $900, out the door. I approved the work, (all over the phone, as I was out of town). A few days later I was told the truck was ready and went and picked it up, Mike told me "sorry it was so much", then handed me a bill for $2,100 dollars. I said you quoted me $900. He said that was just for the parts. The bill showed the parts at just under $1,200, $300 above what he just admitted he quoted me! I was stuck, and needed my truck to get home so I payed the money. Then I researched the prices he charged, as the part numbers are right on the bill. The 2 hub assemblies,(as anyone would tell you, if one goes, you replace both) were found via calling local parts stores, (of which I found 3) had retail prices all under $200 per hub assembly. He charged me $414 per hub. The lowest I found was $162! Now this is for the EXACT part he used. And keep in mind, these are retail prices, he gets his wholesale, which is much cheaper so he can make a profit on the parts. So parts that would costs anyone off the street, $324, he charged me $828. $504 profit on just the hubs! The other 2 parts, although cheaper, he increased their price by 400%. 1 part was $38, he charged $168, the other was $63 he charged $188. I do not dispute his labor rates, as this is where he's supposed to make money, and so far, the work done has held up. He knew where I worked, and it's known we make pretty good money, so he decided he'd cash in I guess. I called the next day questioning the prices he charged me once I had researched the local stores, and thinking there may have been a mistake. My calls go unanswered and just to a voicemail. Obviously, if I knew this would be the results, I would've just towed it home and had it done by my trusted mechanic. I have pictures of everything, including the bill to back this up, just not the quote, as it was over the phone. But the price gouging and absurd mark up is sad to see, but all to common this day and age. Take advantage of anyone you can I guess. The money is minor to me, but to others it could be major. It showed my the character of this place, and him as a person. I posted my story at work, and online to make others aware this shady business. I'm sure he treats locals just fine, and prices at a different, more honest rate, but I doubt he cares when it comes to out of town people whom he'll never see again. I also have filed a report with the better business bureau, which I doubt will amount to much, but it'll be on file at least. Stay away, find another shop in town, I can't recommend one, but can definitely warn about this one.
