After moving to idaho I needed to remove my out of state license plate. However the bolts holding…read morethe plate were so badly rusted that they could not be removed with a simple screw driver. I called various mechanics in the area and was quoted as high as 130$ at other auto mechanics for time and labor depending on how long it took. I felt that was too pricey for removing 4 screw bolts so I searched the highest rated mechanics in the area and found heritage. I called and explained my predicament and they told me to bring the car over and they will try and remove the plate free of charge. So I drove over and sure enough one of the kind mechanics was able to use some type of clamp device to carefully remove all 4 rusted bolts. Then he put the idaho plate on for me with temporary screws and let me know where I can purchase the new bolts I needed for my car. The whole process took around ten minutes and he said I didn't owe them any money, they were happy to help. I am so impressed with this company and their customer service and willingness to help someone. I will go here for all my auto needs and services in the future.

I've been using Whit's for my vehicle maintenance and repair for years. I'm always treated fairly…read moreand their work has been spot on. I recently had a seal installed in my truck in which the seal failed while I was on a trip. I was able to contact the mechanic who had done the repair directly and with his assistance I was able to get home safely. While I could have jumped to conclusions and blamed the shop, I worked with them to find the real culprit...a defective seal. They warranted the work and all is well. There are a lot of options out there for vehicle service and not all of them are trustworthy. If I've ever had an issue anywhere, I've always found that honest communication is essential in getting those issues worked out. Is this shop perfect, no. There's not a shop out there that is. Whit's comes close and that's why I trust them with all of my vehicles from my Duramax to my Buick. It's also why I recommend them to anyone who asks.

WHIT'S HAS LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER Over the last couple years…read moreI've taken both my Ford truck and my Honda CRV to Whit's and until now, didn't have any problems. When I went to sell the CRV in May of this year ('26) a prospective buyer took it to a local Honda dealership for pre-sale inspection. The buyer came back to me saying it needed extensive work, including the rear rotors and brake pads. Not having had good results at dealer's shops in the past, we took it to another mechanic (more conveniently located in Boise). That mechanic said most of the work that the dealer said needed to be done did not need to be done, but that the rear rotors and brakes did, in fact, need to be done. I had already secured a new buyer in Oregon and was under a time constraint to complete the purchase, so I had the Boise shop do the work. Two days after the car was fixed, I completed the sale of my CRV to the customer. Later, when looking at our paperwork file for the CRV, I realized that I paid Whit's $232.00 to do the rear rotors and brakes just recently in September of 2025; it had only been 5,000 miles since they purportedly did that work. And yet, both the Honda dealer and a separate mechanic each said that the rear rotors and brakes needed to be done. Because the sale of the CRV happened quickly, we did not have the opportunity to take the car back to Whit's before I paid the Boise mechanic to do this work. Hoping they would address the overcharge, I stopped by Whit's and asked them what they could do to make this right. Their repeated answer was, "without seeing the car, nothing." When I told them that two separate auto shops agreed separately that the rear brakes needed to be re-done Whit's still refused to address the situation. When I suggested that one simple way to redress their oversight was to offer me a free oil change as a token they still refused. (An oil change would be about half the cost of rear brakes and rotors, to me, but it would have represented some ownership of their failure and would have been a gesture of good will.) Then, on the computer, Whit's checked their records. It wasn't one of their two less capable mechanics who had done my CRV's rear brakes six months ago, it was their "best" mechanic. But the testimony of two separate auto shops makes clear that Whit's either didn't do the work at all or did such a bad job of it that it had to be redone 5,000 miles later. And that was from their "best" mechanic. An hour after I got back home Whit's phoned me. They wanted to see the receipt from the Boise mechanic's shop, to verify that the rear brakes & rotors had been done. I e-mailed that receipt to them. Yes, Whit's saw, the Boise shop did the brake work. Still? Whit's said that since they didn't actually see the CRV they would not do anything to redress their mistake. If you were charged for work that needed to be done just six months later what would you think? Would you return and do business with a company that refused to address their (at best) oversight?
