My friend and I were driving across the country and experienced some car issues. These guys were the nicest people ever. They were honest about what we should fix and what we could wait on fixing, very welcoming and hospitable, and drove us to get lunch while we waited for the car. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

I AM 65 years old, that is to simply say, I've been around the block enough to know when there's a good thing. I recently had an issue with my vehicle that I would take to my mechanic that I have used for years. Unfortunately, they were too busy to take care of the problem. A friend of mine recommended Holden's, so I thought I would give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised to see a clean office, computers, and knowledgeable staff. The person I dealt with was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. My job was completed on time at a reasonable price. If you're new in town or just have never tried Holden's Automotive Repair, I recommend them 100% John S. read more

Do not ues. They are all about the up selling. They don't fix and tell you just come back. We can't find the problem. Scott is all about up selling and will treat you badly. They will not fix even though you have a warntty. Scott will say .I have the right to refuse service. Orginal charge was a bit over 300. For air recharge. 3 trips . Keeping my car for a week on second trip with appiotment. 3 trip 3 and a half wait.before they said dont know whats wrong come back. When questioned. Scott refused to service on car that is under there warranty. Sad read more

We were able to schedule an oil change for our sprinter very quickly and the work was completed quite fast. I love the app Holdens uses to make the results of their vehicle inspection available. Great experience getting regular maintenance accomplished! read more

My truck was leaking oil and Herman took it in to be checked and it was a bad leak n they did an excellent job in a good timely manner, I recommend holdens to anyone who needs any auto work done on their vehicle, they are professional and very nice people who take care of ur car needs with good prices, thank you guys for helping me out read more

My first experience with Holden's was exactly how it's supposed to be. It's a clean, professionally run shop. My car needed a couple of seals and a timing belt. They not only did the job in one day, but gave me a ride home and picked me up later that afternoon when the car was ready. I was an ASE certified brake & suspension mechanic for 39 years before retiring and moving to Kingman couple years ago. I owned an alignment & brake shop in Hawaii for 22 years, so I know what to look for when hiring a mechanic to do a job that I don't want to do. You can feel confidant these guys know what they're doing. read more

*BEST CAR SERVICE IN KINGMAN* My cousin and I are on a cross country road trip and had broken down. We took the car to an auto shop that was closest to us because they told us to come in and they'd take care of us. But if care is over 1800$ and stolen radiator cap then I don't know. Mind you, we are driving an older 2005 Prius- so obviously we aren't looking for a complete replacement- just to get back on the road safely. So we ended up taking the car over to get a second opinion at Holdens and Scott at the front had us taken care of in seconds. He had a driver pick us up and take us to and from our Airbnb. So talk about no stress! Literally maybe 45 mins later, they had a diagnosis and ordered all parts needed. We ended up leaving only being charged just a smidge over $500. For being two young adults out alone in the country- we are both so grateful to have found them. Great people. Great service. Fast. Reliable. read more

Holden's drove my cousin and I to our Air BNB and also picked us up when our car was ready. They communicated everything to me as it was happening and explained and sent pictures of everything their doing. They are all so friendly and helpful with everything. I dropped my car off on Friday. They're closed on the weekend and it was fixed within the first hour and a half they were open on Monday. I went to TNT Auto and got quoted $1800. I then went to Holden's and got my car fixed for nearly a quarter of that. read more

Our car started to overheat on the way home from Las Vegas. All the car repair places were closed on Sunday. Holden's got us in first thing Monday morning and had us back on the road to Phoenix by noon. Very grateful they squeezed us in and took good care of us! read more

This shop told me my transmission was shot and would be a week wait and over 6,000 in repairs when I had a little car trouble passing through Kingman. This shop tried to take advantage of me and over quoted by at least 2,000 dollars. I co tinged driving successfully all the way to Louisiana and back to California with no problems on the transmission they said had to be replaced! They are thieves! Stay away from this shop! read more

I was stranded in Kingman with a carload of passengers. Scott the manager agreed to check my overheating even though he was backed up. They fixed a major problem in two hours at a reasonable price and sent me on down the road safely and dependably,. He saved us all from a major problem very professionally. cannot say enough how great this service was!!!! read more

Senior out of town lady with power steering issue...while waiting for tow truck a couple local gentlemen gave high reviews of this establishment and they were correct...was on my way the next day....all it needed was a computer reboot...who knew how much control the computer has....and here I was looking where to add power steering fluid...lol....I highly recommend this mechanic's shop....Thank you Scott! read more

Well there is nothing like have a broke truck in the desert. Headed Ca to Illinois pulling a trailer full of my house and having issues. Took it to Scott and his crew and he jumped on it as fast as he could get the parts. The hole crew was friendly and polite they gave me a ride to my hotel and picked me up when the truck was finished the next day. Could ask for a better bunch. Thanks all read more

I just got home from this business. Had them look at my wipers, they weren't working. Quoted me a high price, said I had to replace Passenger wiper motor. Got home and noticed my wiper blade was not put back, called them and they said it was in the back compartment. Went to put the wiper blade back on and NOW i can't get the bolt off to put the blade back on. The bolt is so tight that the whole part now moves. Never will go here again. NOW I DO have to buy a motor, but found one for $175 and I will replace it myself... read more

I was stranded in Kingman AZ and Scott and his staff at Holdens came to my rescue. They were professional and most importantly very honest. They checked my transmission fluid and discovered it had been overfilled by another automotive shop. They could have easily taken advantage and told me my transmission needed to be replaced but instead they were honest and drained the fluid and I was on my way. I highly recommend Holdens for the best customer service ever. read more

All most of us can ask when dealing in subjects were not knowledgeable in is honesty from those whom possess the skill we don't. I found Holdens to have been extremely generous with skill and expertise in resolving the issues with my car. How rare is that in this day and age! Thx fellas! read more

We travel in our motorhome all winter and stopped in Kingman to explore the area. After a day trip to Oatman our brakes went bad coming out of the mountains. I called Holden and Herman got me right in and was able to arrange for the parts to be installed the next day. Thanks to Herman and Scott for their honesty and service. read more

Me and my friend we're driving across the country from San Diego to NC and started having car trouble. We stayed in AZ that night and took our car here in the morning. We told Scott we were driving across the country and our car wasn't working right also that we were on a time crunch. They were busy but squeezed us in and were very kind! Fixed our car up and had us back on the road in 2.5 hours! Gave us a discounted price and then even called to make sure we made it to our destination! If you're ever in this area and in need of some car repairs take your vehicle here, they're honest, speedy and kind :) thanks guys! read more

We couldn't be more grateful for Scott and his team at Holden's Auto Service. We were driving home from California to New Mexico and somewhere east of Barstow my car started acting up. By Lake Havasu we knew we were in trouble. We called Holden's Auto on our way to Kingman and they said they could get us in as soon as we got there. We puttered into their parking lot, and they came out to check the engine codes right away. Within 20 minutes they diagnosed the problem and were ordering the part from in-town. In under 2 hours we were back on the road and very thankful for not only their quick turnaround, but the fact that we didn't feel they were taking advantage of our situation. They even offered to shuttle us to In-N-Out while we waited (since we're from NM we have limited opportunities to get our hands on a double-double). As travelers unfamiliar with the area, we feel extremely fortunate to have found an honest and sympathetic repair shop. Overall, very happy! read more

Thank you everyone at Holden's. You guys always do an amazing and efficient job on all our cars. I appreciate you getting the vehicle in and out everytime so that I can keep up with my busy day. Your loyal customers, The Forresters. read more

Just had my Nissan frontier done there. They did a great job with it. I would recommend this business for your repairs. It's hard for me to give 5 stars. Use Holdens they're friendly and a local business. read more

Everybody was very nice and helpful. Had service performed quickly and was back on the road. Great value.

I'm so pleased that I discovered Holdens Auto Service a few years ago. They were the 3rd shop I took my car to and their estimate was significantly lower than the 2 others and they did a great job. Since then I've used them exclusively. Not only do they do a great job at an honest price, their customer service is amazing. I was there yesterday and experienced the same level of service. I wouldn't consider using any other auto shop. read more

I called looking for help with a tire sensor light on my car. Scottys made an appt for me but I had to cancel so called and spoke to someone else who said I wasnt on the schedule umm. Then I called back a 2 weeks later and Scotty said they could fix to just bring it in. Well ge lied because when I got there he said for me to take it to the place who had fixed my flat tire. Well he knew what was wrong when I spoke with him the day before and knew the details why on earth would he make me drive a long distance to him just to be told he couldnt do it. They need desperate help with their customer service. read more

Heard good things about this business, called to get a quote on repairing my parking brake and replacing my gears in the rear axle. Still waiting three weeks later for my quote, guess they are really busy... read more

We were traveling through Kingman and thought our shocks were bad. Holdens was recommended by the campground we were staying at so we stopped by without an appointment. Turns out it was our tires not the shocks. They could have made some money selling something that we didn't need but they were honest and very helpful - even calling around town to see who had our size tires and could put them on the same day. And they didn't charge us! read more

My car would not start but everything else in the was working (lights, radio. garage door opener) so I had it towed into Holden's...they started on it that same day (with no appointment)...after doing some testing they called to tell me what was wrong and gave me my options before they did anything. I gave them the go ahead to replace the battery and it was ready for pickup the next day. Holden's has done repairs to both my vehicles in the past...Great people to deal with...I trust them with my vehicles and their prices are very reasonable. read more

My car engine ended up low on oil and covered in oil after taking it to another shop for an oil change. I had a plane to catch in Las Vegas in a couple days and needed my car to get there. I called up Holden's and they got me in right away and fixed the problem getting me back on the road within a few hours and cleaned off all the oil off my engine, transmission and undercarriage of my car. I was expecting a decent size bill and was in complete shock when they told me the very low price. I will always use Holden's Auto Service when I'm in the area. read more

One word "life savers" my fiancé and I were on our way back home to Los Angeles, CA from our trip in Flagstaff, AZ. We stopped to put some gas at a near by gas station off the freeway and our car wouldn't start up. Keep in mind this was at 7:00 in the morning. We were so happy to have found HOLDEN they were near by and offered towing as well which is freaking amazing! We were so thankful Scott Emerson and his team were AMAZING! I totally recommend them. It took a while to diagnose what was wrong with our car but they did not give up and I truly appreciate that so much. Please! Trust us and if ever needed go to HOLDEN they are all friendly and helpful. Thank you so much Scott and team! read more

Fleet vehicle - got right in and out - exceptional service and professional. I highly recommend Holden's!

i was very satisfied with the prompt service that i received on my 2001 chevy tahoe. my appointment was at 8 am and the service started at that time. was told it may take 4 to 5 hours for repairs. surprise, surprise, it only took the mechanic 3 hours to complete the repairs. vehicle runs great, has more power and now gets a bit better gas mileage. kudos to holdens for such a great job. even got a 2 year warrenty to go with the service. read more

twice when i was on road trips my car had problems and i got to holdens where they checked out the car quickly and helped me both times with useful info and once an oil top up at no charge. they were kind and friendly and reassuring, and correct in their assessments. many thanks! read more

My car had an issue when making the drive from phoenix to Vegas and luckily I found Holden's Auto Service in Kingman. They were so quick to diagnose the problem and provided me multiple possible solutions to get me back on the road a quickly as possible. They even drove me to a restaurant of my choice to have lunch while I waited for them to fix the car. People and prices at Holden's are both amazing. It's obvious they place high value of positive customer experience. Would absolutely recommend this Auto service to anyone needing some car help!! I wish I had somewhere like Holden's in Vegas to take care of all my car needs! read more

We were driving up from LA to come see family and my moms check engine light came on. After 2 hours and 8 auto shops later, Holdens auto service was able to help us and tell us the truth to get us back on the road! Scott was absolutely wonderful and helped my mom and I with the stress! Thank you to this place we truly wouldn't know what we do without them! Thank you guys from the bottom of our hearts. read more

Holden's was a God send! We ran into car issues on our road trip and they were able to fit us in immediately. They explained exactly what was wrong and went to work on fixing it for us. Scott and the team were highly professional. I can not recommend this business enough! read more

My vehicle was overheating and the AC wasnt cold. Took it to Holdens to be repaired. That was a HUGE mistake. They said I needed a thermostat and AC service. Afterwards they tried to charge me $84 dollars for thermostat housing I didnt need (The part at Autozone was $21). Charged me $44 for a part I could have got at Autozone for $23. Paid to have the AC inspected, repaired and charged. When I went to pick up the car, (after being told all the work was complete) it was leaking at the housing they replaced. Left the car there so they could finish the job. 2 days later, they called and said the work was complete. A week or so passed and the car was overheating again. Took it back to them and was told the thermostat they used was defective. They had the car for almost 2 more weeks. When the work was "completed" and I picked it up, the AC was not cold. They recharged it and I was on my way. I drove the car 2-3 times and the AC stopped blowing cold air. Took it back again and was told in now needed a AC condenser and AC hose and they had missed that during the initial inspection. Given Holdens history, I picked up the car instead of having them repair it. They did refund me for the $84 part and the AC service but only when I confronted them about it. read more

Saved the day!!! So thankful for the willingness to accommodate a very last minute need and save quite the kink in our roadtrip!!

Well, what can I say? It was the 3rd of July and I was driving through Arizona. I was driving 105mph when my car decided to not let me go over 50 and keep slowing down until it wouldn't let me go period. Being on this road trip alone on the highway having no idea where Im at I panicked and pulled over since my car wouldn't go very fast anyways. I realize theres some symbol lit p and I have NO IDEA what it even means. I make a few phone calls and just when Im about to have a truck come tow me I realize the symbol is no longer lit up. So, I try to drive my car, it works! Well I was scared at that point it would happen again, so I decided I would get a room for the night and head out again in the morning. Before I got back on road I wanted to get my car checked, mainly because I couldn't go trough that again. So Holden's Auto was the only place open on the 4th of July so I stopped in. They got me in right away. The guy working on my car was an older gentlemen, SUPER NICE! I think he may have been the owner. Either way, I will never forget this place. He ran several tests on my car to make sure everything was ok. He finally told me the transmission over heated and shut its self down to protect it. He asked me how fast I was going and I told him between 95-110mps. He then gasped and told me "your car is not a race car and it never will me." Luckily I hadn't caused any serious damage to my car! He explained to me what had happened, why my car responded lie that and then walked me through an oil lean i had. Instead of saying i needed to get it fixed there he said its not that big of deal but when I get to my final destination to get it fixed and he wrote down what needed to be done. He didn't try to sell me any other services. He was really great. He did show me how bad my tires were and suggested I get at least two new ones before I head back on the road, as the ones I had probably wouldn't have made it. And he showed me how to tell my ties were bad. He didn't sell tires at his shop so he told me one that would be open. All in all, he charged me 100ish dollars to make sure my car wasn't damaged and to tell me everything i need to get done. The amount of tests and he did on my car was worth it. I'm glad this place was open and Im glad this shop isn't in it only for the money, but for their customers best interests. read more

I agree with the other yelpers on here. I was reffered to Holdens through a friend of a friend, "Mr. Costers". Upon arriving i was greated by a gentleman named Gary, who immediately opened a new file in the computer for me. I explained to him what my situation was and exactly what i thought was wrong with my truck. Then we agreed that it would be more convienient for both of us to bring the truck back later on in the week. So today, bright and early this morning i took my truck in to the shop and i was greeted by another gentleman named Mike who quickly pulled my paperwork from the computer, tagged my keys and said that he would call me later with a list of things that may need to be fixed (on my "new" used truck)...so now i am anxiously awaiting their call. Their shop is super clean if anyone is interested. Will update soon. read more

Wow... I feel like I'm repeating but... we broke down near Kingman on the first day of a cross country road trip (apparently that's the thing to do in 2021!!). We called around and I think they heard the desperation in my voice. After explaining what we thought the problem might be they said to come in and they'd check it out. When we got there they couldn't have been more helpful. It's was over 100 degrees out and they welcomed us inside for 2 hours and offered our kids snacks! They quickly identified the problem, fixed it and sent us on our way. It's nice to know that kind of good honest service still exists. Even though our first day started out with a breakdown, it ended on a high note thanks to Holden's!! I hope no one else breaks down on their road trip, but if they do Holden's will help you! read more
