Engine menders is the worst shop to take your car to! They don't know what they are doing! My truck was brought to them to have the transmission replaced and immediately after having it replaced I started having issues with it! I brought the truck back to engine menders and it sat at their shop for 6 months before they even touched it! They stated it needed a bigger transmission cooler which they were provided with but never put on! I called to complain about the amount of time they are taking to touch my truck and was threatened by KENNY! SHANE even called me on the phone to argue with me! SHANE and KENNY are two of the most disrespectful and unprofessional people I have ever met! I had the truck towed from engine menders to zigglers automotive! Zigglers automotive stated the truck DID NOT need a bigger transmission cooler and engine menders only put 3 quarts of transmission fluid in my Allison 1000 transmission and split my transmission line! Save your time and money and spend it with some who knows what they are doing like zigglers automotive! My truck runs like it should after it was fixed properly! Shout out to zigglers automotive! read more

The starter on my car went. They got the new piece within a reasonable amount of time and installed it at a reasonable price. I've always been able to rely on them for basic maintenance, never felt like the overcharged me cause I'm female, and they have always warned me about upcoming maintenance or looked over my car before I take long road trips. 100% would recommend them every time. read more

These guys saved our vacation! My family was visiting from NY (1,800 miles round trip) and ran into concerning car issues shortly after we arrived to our destination of Columbia, SC. I found Engine Menders online and called to set up a diagnosis. Despite being short-staffed that day, they got me in within an hour. They took the time to talk me through all the details of the issue, the risks of driving the car as-is, the cost of doing the repair work in SC vs. NY, the likelihood of the car making it back to NY, etc. They patiently helped me weigh my options, and provided a ton of reassurance. Ultimately, they helped me decide I could drive back home with car as-is, informing me about other problems to watch for along the way, and that we should take breaks every 90 minutes or so. I asked what the diagnostics fee would be, and Shane (owner) simply sent me on my way with a handshake, free-of-charge. He and the mechanic who also helped advise us of our options, showed us true compassion. And best of all of course, we indeed made it home safely. Can't thank them or recommend them enough. read more

I highly don't recommend shane or his staff first they charged me 306.00 then to administer my headlights another 60 and the lights are still off never fixed the original issue car still acting the same. If Paco his dad was alive I would even need to write a review. Save your money and definitely this kid thought he was going to rip me off as I brought in my 2009 vette and 2019 will stick with dealerships read more

Engine Menders - an Honest Take. If you're reading this right now, there's a 99.9% chance something has gone wrong with your car - most people don't spend their free time perusing "mechanic" on YELP for the hell of it. There's probably a "glug, glug, glug" coming from the hood of your car, or a "squeak, ba-da squeak" in the tires, or maybe even a "swug, swvoom" in the engine. If, like me, your method of describing your car's malady involves borrowing onomatopoeia from Dr. Seuss books, don't panic! Engine Menders is for you. I know virtually nothing about cars, but Ryan (my coworker) is a bit of an amateur mechanic. So naturally, when my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan began to leak coolant, I started "talking car" with him in hopes of obtaining the know-how needed to perform a quick (and cheap) DIY fix. Unfortunately, I didn't understand a thing he said (though occasionally I'd throw around words like "heater core", "transmission", and "RPM" to feign a baseline competency of automobiles (thanks Wikihow). It wasn't long before I decided I needed to take my vehicle to a mechanic. Ryan was quick to suggest Engine Menders, and so I dropped the dad-mobile off after work. I was not disappointed. I spoke directly to Shane (the owner) and told him about the leaking coolant. His employees diagnosed my car in 15 minutes and informed me it was necessary to leave the van overnight so they could work on it. At 11:00 a.m. (the next day) my van was completely repaired...11:00 a.m.! That's typically when mechanics call you to say "we think we know what's wrong with your car" (before they call you in another hour or so to say "we found something else"). Engine Menders replaced my radiator, water pump, hosing, and fixed some electrical features in record time for a fair price. I have paid franchised mechanics more to fudge with some spark plugs and replace a battery! Shane's staff was friendly, honest, professional and (perhaps most importantly) genuinely happy to be there. Generally, when I don't know much about a particular business, I resort to reading the faces of those in its employ. Do they look as if the only reason they're not killing me is because they've misplaced the wrench? Do they resemble a beat dog on one of those ASPCA commercials (Sarah Mclachlan playing "Arms of an Angel" softly in the background)? Or do they want to be there? One can tell working on engines isn't their plan C, it's their passion; and if the chef is happy, he probably won't spit in your food. I have since driven my van to VA and back with no issues, and hope to be the proud owner of a bad-ass minivan for a couple more years (disclaimer: a dodge 2005 minivan is a chick-repellant, but I'm married, so who cares?). I cannot recommend Engine Menders enough. It is, bar none, the best experience I've ever had with any mechanic thus far. If you have any inhibitions, don't hesitate to shoot me a message via YELP. ***By the way, if you're reading this and your car doesn't work at all, Engine Menders has its own tow trucks - give them a call. read more

Definely 5 stars!! I was so pleased with their service of my car, that I immediately took in my truck. It's such a relief to find mechanics who are knowledgeable, honest, reliable & reasonably priced. They were recommended to me, & I am enthusiastically passing that recommendation along. Call these folks! read more
