Kinder Auto Repair

Thanks Nick! He's great! Hometown garage he'll take care of you. He made me a Jeep man. Tell him Moe sent you!

Nick Kinder is a saint. I take my car to him for everything. He is an honest, hard working guy & very reasonably priced. He will explain everything in detail, be very transparent and up front with you. If you aren’t in the area I would make the drive to see him, because he is worth it. He does anything he can to make sure your car is back on the road and can get you in and out in a timely manner & he is just a phone call away. Thank you for all you do Nickk 😊

This is the best mechanic in town. The owner is very honest, straight forward and fair.

I found a pretty bad oil leak on my Civic on Thanksgiving but I couldn't see where it was coming from, so after debating on potentially messing my car up by running it to find the leak, I decided to take it to a shop which was hard for me to do after my clutch fiasco with another shop. Based on some research, I thought I had a faulty oil pressure sensor so I picked one up and had my car towed to Kinder Auto Repair with the replacement part in the cup holder. The mechanic(and owner I believe?), Nick, called me and asked if I had the issue diagnosed by another shop because he couldn't find any issues after changing the oil and running it for a while so it wasn't the oil pressure sensor like I thought. I told him when I drained the oil to change it my drain plug was loose, he said that it probably backed out and that the spray pattern indicated that was the likely issue. He could have just replaced the part and charged me for it and I wouldn't have known the difference. On top of that, he told me about a few other issues he found while inspecting my car and he was the nicest mechanic I've ever gone to. He ended up just charging me for an oil change and the inspection which I was more than happy to pay. If you need any auto work done in the metro STL area I highly recommend Kinder, they've been around for a long time and I can see why. They're nice, professional, thorough, honest and don't charge you for stuff you don't need (which shouldn't be a bonus, but unfortunately it is from my experience).

The owner is professional and knowledgeable. He took his time to answer all of my husband and I’s questions and was considerate of our situation, as we were repairing an older vehicle. Extremely fair pricing too. Thank you Kinder! We highly recommend!
