Have used their services multiple times. All have been of the highest quality and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

I don't like leaving a bad review but they told me they don't take appointments and it's first come first serve I took my truck in at 730am Tuesday come Wednesday at noon never heard from them so I go down there and they had moved my truck multiple times and still didn't even take the time to look at it but had vehicles in his shop that were not there the day I dropped off my truck and so I asked can you get to it today and he said possibly thats not professional and to lie saying it's first come first serve all I needed was a diagnostic and I would have paid there diagnostic fee because I know every shop charges to do a diagnostic either they didn't want to or the previous owner called to give them a heads up because the previous owner of the truck used them for all the work on the truck so either way that is not professional read more

We brought a van to Danny's Car Care Center that we were considering buying to have it checked out. Without any advance notice that we were bringing it, the owner took it in right away, looked it over for free, and gave us advice on whether or not it would be a good purchase. He was very friendly and helpful, and he even topped off the fluids for us when we told him we were probably going to buy it. It was very kind of him, and we really appreciated his willingness to help. read more

Highly recommend this place. Wonderful family-owned car repair shop with friendly staff. I came in on a Monday morning around 9:30am needing to get my car's belly pan checked out to make sure it was screwed on tight before driving on the highway. I explained my problem and the mechanic said it would be 10 minutes to wait for an open lift and 10 minutes to get it checked out. Service was excellent and FAST and best of all, they did it free of charge! The mechanic explained the work that was done afterwards and it looked like they washed my car a bit too. read more

Nobody enjoys posting bad reviews so this is unfortunate. I dropped my car off on a Tuesday afternoon for a check engine problem. I told both the mechanics I could see they were really busy so I'd leave the vehicle until Thursday but I needed it Thursday afternoon. I left them alone all day Wednesday before calling Thursday around noon because I hadn't received any word on the vehicle. The mechanic said they hadn't even looked at it and they were working down the list of vehicles they had. I said will you get to it today and the answer was "possibly". I said alright just let me know before you close if you can't get to it because I need it for work. After re-thinking how long the vehicle had been there I decided to go get it and cancel the work. Being very polite I told Danny I was there to pick it up since they were slammed. He was very curt and said "Ok I'll go get it out of the bay." He brought the vehicle around and I again said with a smile I know you're slammed I'll try to bring it back another time. He said "Yeah no problem." and turned his back to walk away. No Hi, Bye or kiss my a@@ not even hey sorry about that. I've had work done there in the past so this was a surprise. This last customer service experience was exactly that my last and I always paid these guys in cash so I consider myself a good customer. Sometimes customer service is everything, and it only takes one person to tell five you had a bad experience and then you have plenty of time on your hands. Food for thought Danny. read more

It's an unfortunate thing when you have to write a negative review, but hopefully the business will take this information into consideration and be better off for it (hopefully future customers will be too). I took my car to Danny's Car Care in Topeka to have the thermostat replaced as they had the best pricing - $200 versus the $400 other shops wanted to charge me. Within a week of getting my car back it began making a terrible (and loud) squealing noise when moving into first or reverse gear, or when turning on the AC. In my research and consultations, I was able to determine it was likely something to do with the serpentine belt being loose and slipping. For an MK4 Volkswagen, this belt is typically loosened to more easily reach the alternator, which is generally moved to reach the thermostat. I called Danny's and let them know what was happening, and that I wanted them to take a look and be sure my car was put back together properly. They said it shouldn't take too long to just look at the belt and I brought it in the next morning. This is where things got dicey. I was right that the serpentine belt was loose and slipping. They even let me come back into the garage to see for myself. However, the owner (I believe he was the owner) claimed that his tech did not remove anything to replace the thermostat. First off, the tensioner hides one of the bolts to the alternator, which covers the area where the thermostat is located. Danny's Car Care claims that they simply pushed the alternator aside to change the thermostat. Before leaving, instead of offering to schedule a day for me to bring it in and investigate further, to be absolutely certain they didn't screw things up, I was instead told that I probably need a new tensioner and I was given an estimate for one. Back at home, I consulted with a local group of Volkswagen techs, mechanics, and enthusiasts who were able to pinpoint the problem from photos I posted of the tensioner and belt. The problem was not my tensioner. The problem was that my tensioner had in fact been removed and, when it was put back on, the bracket was placed behind (on the inside) of the tensioner, instead of on the front (outside) of the tensioner. As a result of this, recognizably easy, mistake, the tensioner was misaligned and kicking the serpentine belt off. (I've posted a picture showing the bracket on the wrong side). Thanks to this online group, I was able to go into a local KC garage and work with a tech to fix it. It took probably 5-10 minutes and my VW runs great now (with no squealing). Granted, Danny's may not have been aware that this bracket was misplaced and so they didn't think to mention that as a possibility when looking at my tensioner and belt. However, they claim they never removed the tensioner, which clearly isn't true. To sum up, if you have a complicated car, like a Volkswagen, your best bet is to take it to a shop that's experienced in working on them. read more

Danny's Car Care Center - This clearly shows that the bracket was placed on the wrong side of the tensioner when the shop put it back on. - Auto Repair Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

Nobody likes car repair but you at least want to know that your mechanic is honest and is fixing the right thing the right way. Had a $800 estimate from another car place, Danny said - yes, that would fix your problem but so might a $25 part and new fluids. Let's try that first. We did and it worked and haven't had a problem since. We've also had a big car repair with Danny as well. It was done perfectly. We have two older model cars - A Toyota and a Nissan - and we don't take them anywhere else. Even for oil changes. read more

My car is long past warranty and my airbag warning light was on indicating it is deactivated. The shop tested the problem by trying to find the error code and then just reset it hoping that was the easy fix and save me a big expense. The light was on again before I made it back to my office. So I took it back and the shop did additional testing and research to narrow down the problem. And, they called a couple of their parts suppliers, including a local OEM dealer, to see what parts were in stock if the solution was found. Long story short, they needed it for a day to tear into the steering column and once the problem found, order the part and have it in the next day. Both my wife and I need cars in our jobs so this is always a major inconvenience. I also received an estimate from Danny that was a little north of $500. Just to be sure, I called the local GM dealer and the airbag on this make/model was not currently under recall and they asked me to bring it in for diagnosis that would cost more than $200. UGH. I took it back to Danny so they would have it to work on the first thing in the morning. They found the problem AND found the part locally so they could call that afternoon to tell me it is finished. They exceeded my expectations! Tip: If you have a problem that needs diagnosed and/or repaired, you must get your car to them first thing in the morning. While sitting and waiting for their original diagnosis, several customers came in after 9:00 and they had to be turned away because the schedule was already filled. If it is just routine maintenance (oil change, etc) you might call to see if they can work you in later in the day. read more

Best shop in town. Have been using them for years after they treated my 2 sisters with absolute respect and honor. They could've charged an outrageous amount, but actually saved them both a ton of money. Very upstanding Christian owner that cares and is very knowledgeable. Always have been honest and fair with me on all my vehicles. Thank goodness for this shop! read more

Way overcharged me! My Jeep needed wire work done and they charged me over $200 and claimed it took them 2.5 hours to complete. Customer service was very poor, they never even called when they were finished. read more

I took my Denali in for an oil change. They were very polite and my SUV was done quickly. I appreciate a clean facility and can tell the owner takes pride in his business. I was in once before to have my tires checked out and the owner was kind and explained his findings to me, even inviting me out to the floor to view what he'd identified. I'll be back ... I appreciate honest and reliable service. Thank you! read more

Danny's diagnosed my car and said it needed a $800 part. I had just been in a few months earlier and put $1500 into it, so even though my car is older I agreed to have the work done. On the drive home from the shop the car was doing the same thing I brought it in for so I took it back in. Danny (the owner) seemed upset and said he didn't know what to do to fix it and said he guessed he would just have to replace the whole back end- over $2000. I took it to another shop and they said that was ridiculous, they fixed it for $50 and said the $800 was a completely unnecessary repair as that part it did not need to be replaced. I called Danny's back and they refused to refund any of the money or admit any error. I now wonder if the $1500 was a very inflated price for that repair also. Also FYI-Danny's pays for good reviews (gives 1/2 off any oil change) so be careful when reading them. read more

Short version of a long story. I'm out of Kansas City, 90 miles away. My 10 year old van was being used by family in Topeka when it broke down. Danny's team did everything over the phone with me to spare my older parents (who had the vehicle) all the logistics. They diagnosed the issue and solved for the right part instead of overcharging an out of towner. Mechanics and shops get a bad name fast if they are unethical, they earned all their good reviews. I only wish I had them closer to me. read more

Best Car Shop in KS! Seriously Danny and his team are honest and do excellent work in a very timely manner.
