Barr's Auto Repair

We highly recommend Barr's Automotive. My car is 17 years old and they have it running like new!! They do high quality work and are honest people.

After a year of my 91 Cadillac Seville being in shops more than not and endless headaches with auto shops who didn't really care to get the job done right, Barr's Auto has done a fantastic job with my older vehicle. We took it in for a gasket replacement which they found wasn't necessary, and took the time to find so many other issues with my car that had been continuously overlooked. Initially we had been told the intake manifold gasket was bad, they found it was simply the thermostat housing unit. I'd burnt through 3 ICMs in a few months, they put a high quality ICM in and found a short which had caused all the others to fail. They found that the brake line repairs another shop had done were not holding, so they machined the necessary part in-house for a super reasonable price. My car is running like a top thanks to this shop, I could have saved myself a lot of cash and frustration if I had just taken my car here sooner!

Fast, friendly, & professional. Fair pricing. Actually fixed a part rather than trying to sell me a new one. Didn't try to fleece me down by selling me repairs I didn't need. Vehicle was ready to go the next day. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

It was quick to get my suv in for them to look at. Everyone was polite and kind. The mechanic who called me about my issues was up front and didn't try to over charge me.

The shop was also very well maintained and clean.

I will definitely bring my vehicles here in the future.

Garry is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I recently moved to Independence and so was hesitant about picking a new mechanic. The work these guys did was phenomenal. The PT Cruiser is notoriously difficult to work on as it's incredibly cramped in the engine bay - especially for a timing belt replacement, but these guys are pros. Very very reasonable quote, and they went above and beyond and had the car back to me much quicker than expected. I had my timing belt replaced, serpentine belt and accessory belt and every tensioner and idler, every motor/transmission mount, alternator, spark plugs, thermostat and coolant replaced. Had the car back in approx 2 business days. I really appreciated the level of communication and openness I received during my service. I've found my local mechanic I'll be sticking with.
