I have been a patron of The Garage for several years and I still am because they do honest work at a reasonable rate.

I had purchased a motor for them to install. Shorty after install the new motor started misfiring. They worked for me and got my warranty honored with a new NEW motor. Solid shop.

Edit to original post: My husband found this place & had it towed to their shop. No one called to let us know our vehicle had made it to their shop. Then they called and tried to sell a new battery. It's January & cold here. The car didn't need a battery, it was just cold. They found a huge hole in a hose & said it needed to be replaced. We went ahead and had it replaced. I was told by the owner that the check engine light was cleared & no more codes were being shown. My husband and I went to pick up the vehicle and the check engine light was still on when we drove off the property of the shop. I told my husband that was not supposed to be the case because they said they cleared the check engine light codes. We took the vehicle back & the owner was at lunch, so his son came out & hooked it up. It was shooting the same codes. They hadn't cleared the codes at all. The owner returned from luch & they were able to clear the codes. I personally wouldn't use this shop again. It wasn't until after i left the Google review they called to see why i was unhappy. Well if you did the job correctly the 1st time there would not have been an issue & a GREAT Google review would have been left instead of a bad review. Here is the original Google review; I took my Saturn to be fixed & when I picked it up the check engine light was still on. They tried to sell me a battery when a new battery wasn't needed. Overall they're lazy & over priced.

Although my car repair took a week, The Garage was able to resolve a re-occurring problem that no one else could fix at an affordable cost.They communicated with me throughout the process and my Suzuki is running better than ever. Thanks!

Still our spot, we take all our cars there for maintenance and repairs. Trustworthy and knowledgeable staff. They also send a cool service tracker while your car is there that reviews the results of the diagnostics, gives recommendations and such.

Thanks to the Garage my grandsons 14 year old car is providing heat and the sunroof drains are open to prevent water backing up in the vehicle. He greatly appreciated this on his trip to Omaha right before the storm. Many thanks!

They did a great job diagnosing and making the correct repairs. No upselling or unnecessary recommendations. Just honest work at a fair price. Thanks.

They managed to complete a very labor intensive series of repairs in what I considered record time. Very happy with the results. Plan to use them again in the future.

We were in a pickle when my son's car broke down on the way to school. AAA towed in and The Garage went way above and beyond to help us out and got him back on the road. Pleased with the service, communication, transparency and honesty. Never felt pressured and now we have a new shop for all our automotive needs!

Excellent customer service. The Garage has worked on both of my family vehicles and even told me about some car issues that could be covered under warranty. I Couldn't be any happier bringing my business to you.

This is the best auto repair shop that I have found in my 30+ years of living on the west side of Wichita. The team there is knowledgeable and the prices are on par with all other places.

First time. Great service. They kept me up to date on the process and provided a video/screenshot of the damage with the estimate. I hope my car does not need more repairs, but if it does, I will go there again.

Great place

My son's Nissan Versa needed some work done and we had heard good things about the garage. They're also very conveniently located nearby. The Garage fixed my son's car quickly and for a very fair price. It gives me peace of mind knowing my son's car is safe now.

Rick actually cares about his customers and doesn't do shady things like other mechanics in the Wichita area. Great place!

This place is awesome! Took car in because I believed something was just not right. They drove it, lifted it up and checked everything out and found nothing. They would not charge me even though they spent so much time on it. These people are honest, hardworking and have such integrity. It's so refreshing. I would highly recommend .

Took my truck in for rear brake service and when I went in and picked it up they did not put the new drums on it first very upset and they also do not warranty their work if you bring your own parts in even if you buy the parts from the same place they get it you just want to buy them yourself because you get a military
