This family owned and operated shop is da bomb! When I foolishly backed my newly restored vintage…read moreride out of the garage after sitting for a few years (and neglected to check the brake-fluid level), one fender had an unfortunate meeting with a carport post. A few days later - after flushing the air out of the brake system - I took the car down to Pearson to get an estimate. Mike whipped up a quick estimate to give me an idea of how much it would cost to fix, as I was trying to decide if I should just pay for it myself or go to insurance. Well, as expected, it was a bit more than I could afford, but cheaper than other another place in town, so I called up my insurance, returned to Pearson to get a full estimate, and Mike emailed me the full estimate and his photographs. I forwarded these materials to my insurnace company and within a day got the go-ahead to have the car fixed. Slick! They got the car on a Monday, hammered the fender straight, then repainted and clear-coated by Friday so I could bring the car to its first car show (Rev It Up! in Lawrence) on Saturday. Brought it back in on Monday so they could do the final buffing. What's even nicer is that both Mike and his wife were willing to drop me off at home (or pick me up later) as needed. Whatta crew! Let me just say WOW. They matched 45-year-old paint PERFECTLY, and the fender looks nicer now than it did when I bought the car, like new. Oh, and Mike showed me his restoration project, a soon-to-be gorgeous Austin-Healey in the shop, which he works on during down-times. Highly recommeded if you do something dumb to your vintage ride and need a shop you can trust to undo the dumb.

After all, any time you're coming to one of these places it's never for a good reason, right? These places should be busting with people complaining. But no. Once again the folks that run Steve's stand out head and shoulders above other businesses in basic service, friendliness, holding up their promises. Shoot, they even gave me a ride to a coffee shop to wait while the work was being done--it was 2 blocks away but icy and they insisted. Wait... maybe I should go give the coffee shop it's 200th review on the quality of their latte art and those few crumbs someone dropped on the floor. Ya think? Nah, screw that. What's left to say? As I walked out the door actually enjoying spending $200 on a replaced side mirror and all the bells and whistles that go with it I said, "OK, see you next time I screw something up or someone runs into me." There are far worse experiences. Steve's will never be one of them.

Steve's Auto claims to provide a one year warranty on their service, so of course we brought her car back to have them replace the missing right mirror front cover, which they had clearly improperly installed (In conversation with my wife, Steve said he saw no other damage that could account for the cover coming off). We left the car there for a couple of hours and returned to be told that my wife was being charged for another right side mirror front cover. I was horrified. I could hardly believe my ears. This is the kind of behavior that gives auto service shops a bad name.

Overall, they did a wonderful job with the body work!

Briggs was replacing my passenger side door, yet somehow on the trunk of my car near my license plate, one of my five magnets was removed. Only the "Love is Love" Pride magnet was removed. I had four other magnets depicting various messages that were left on my car, including one that said "Kindness Matters" etc. One would think that if Briggs had to take off all of the decor from the trunk of my car for the purposes of the body work, that they would have removed everything, not just the Pride magnet. This magnet was removed and placed on the driver's side seat in my car, which I found when getting into my car after picking it up once the body work was completed. Perhaps this is simply an oversight on their behalf; however, given the 'political' nature of the magnet that was removed, it makes me a bit weary of the underlying business practices of Briggs. I'd love a response from the business explaining these actions, and am willing to change my review if this was simply an oversight or mistake on my behalf.

Very long-time customer of this business, pre-dating the change in current ownership by a good 25…read moreyears. That change turned out to be a good thing, mostly for their staff, I find out, but that's a story I won't be telling. My feelings for this Honda dealers is this: I implicitly trust their service department, have known a number of them by name over the years, still do and they know me by name when I call. We're a three car family, all Hondas, so if there was any doubt, I'd be on to another brand in a heartbeat. They are brutally honest and true and have never failed me. Today's visit, I'm delighted to find a brand new facility that's been updated to modern times with things in the customer reception area like, oh, those modern conveniences like plug-ins for laptops and phones, USB ports, and of course the requisite coffee and free water bar, big screen TV, comfy chairs and tables of different sizes and heights and most importantly these days, plenty of room between yourself and others. Other changes, a larger lot, the entire old building razed and a new one built behind it in its place. A much nicer show room and plenty of places to meet privately for when the time comes to buy something. I made the mistake of buying one of my Hondas for a family member from a dealer in Olathe. Huge mistake. What happened there would not have happened here, and never has. Why I stick with these folks. Oh, and the wi-fi I'm using to craft this, lightning fast, no disruptions. Imagine that. So yea, maybe rating a car dealership isn't as cool as the new espresso joint or the latest new taqueria, but this place has always worked exceptionally well for me and I'm sticking with them.

It needed a new lock actuator/latch assembly. So, I had my husband take it in, and they said that what I said was not the issue. We took it in multiple times telling them what it was, and we were ignored until the last time. When they finally confirmed that was the issue. We also went in because our SRS airbag sensor has failed, this was the 2nd time we requested it to be fixed. They spent 4 hours on our vehicle and did nothing. They said they needed to order parts. They gave us a clean inspection though. Then we noticed they damaged our inner door panel, they denied damaging it. A few weeks roll around and they send my husband an email of all the 'issues' with our vehicle, first was they couldn't fix our lock actuator because we were out of warranty despite taking the car in multiple times and literally telling them what the problem was. Then they stated they could fix it but wanted $2k. Then they said we needed new brakes, they wanted to charge us almost $600 for a part I told them I took off so they could access the lock actuator faster, we still have the part. They also wanted $200 to replace a tail light that was 'burned out'. They let us drive around for weeks with a tail light out. My husband works nights, he was followed by multiple cops during this time and had no clue what was going on. Because our first email on the inspection stated there were no issues. They should be sued.
