The A/C has been excellent this hot summer and kept us cool for the drive to my son's wedding. This is a great shop to visit. I've been to some auto shops that are little rough around the edges and I have not been comfortable waiting on a repair or service with my children. The McDonald's are a growing family and their children help out in the shop when they can. My young son enjoyed a short visit with them while we waited. John McDonald worked with his father on auto repair growing up, and he opened this business anew in 2024 after building his own shop.

Instead they repaired everything without ever providing an estimate or getting approval. They charged us $300 for changing sparkplugs, which we could have done ourselves.

They then claimed that when we brought the car in we had given them permission to fix it without seeing an estimate.

I would NOT recommend this shop. Poor communication, clear incompetence, and neglect. I brought my…read morecar in on January 28th for a strong fuel smell. Within minutes I was told the main fuel line was cracked. They knew this was my only transportation. What should have been a straightforward repair turned into TWO WEEKS and FOUR failed attempts. Communication was almost nonexistent unless I reached out. I was later told: * The first fuel hose "exploded" because the wrong part was installed. * The second failed because the mechanic did not decompress the other fuel lines. They then tried charging me for THREE fuel line installations -- including repairs caused by their own incompetence. The bill was nearly $1,800, including 19.5 hours of diagnostics at $100/hr and 7 hrs of labor After disputing it, I still paid $1,440. When I picked up my car, the drive belt was squealing (not tightened), and the check engine light came on within minutes. They reset it, but the car idled extremely low and continued having issues. I later learned no smoke test was performed, and only the lower intake crush gaskets were replaced -- the upper crush gaskets were reused. Crush gaskets are not reusable, and any competent mechanic should know that. Less than 24 hours later, the check engine light returned with code P0457 (EVAP leak). Paul had reset the check engine light before giving me back my car after test drive claiming it was done. I ultimately took the car to Subaru to have it properly repaired. The Subaru technician documented on the official work order that several hoses and clamps were not installed or tightened correctly by this shop. After two weeks without transportation and over $1,500 spent, I had to pay Subaru to correct their incompetence and neglect. I have documentation supporting everything stated here. Proceed with extreme caution. AG HAS been informed and soon the court's will be too​

I purchased a van from K & A Quality Auto on April 12th 2013. I drove down from St. Louis to check…read morethe vehicle out. Although I am no mechanic, the van looked to be in reasonable condition and the 15 - 20 minute test drive also suggested the vehicle was in good condition. The salesperson, named Jason, also assured me that the van had passed inspection and that they have a mechanic who goes over all their vehicles to make sure they are good. The van had a front headlight out - something that would have prevented the vehicle from passing a state inspection so I became wary. After looking under the hood, it was revealed that the transmission fluid looked as if it had never been changed. I personally don't know enough about transmissions to have immediately noticed that the dark fluid meant a completely shot transmission. I just assumed it needed a flush, Jason agreed, and he took the amount a transmission flush off the total - bringing the car sale to $3500, a price I would later learn is what the vehicle I purchased should sell for in excellent condition. I didn't even make it to Sullivan, Missouri (just shy of a 45 minute drive) before the transmission started skipping. At stop signs it would get stuck in gear and would suddenly jolt forward. I figured it was because the fluid needed to be flushed and took the van promptly into the shop the next day. The mechanic at Meineke wouldn't even touch it. He said that the fluid had bits of clutch in it and that no flush would save it. "Take it to an actual transmission shop." I took it to a nearby transmission shop, and after an hour the guy told me the entire transmission was burnt up. It completely needed to be replaced. I hadn't had the car for even 48 hours. The transmission shop continued to look through it to see if certain parts could be replaced, but the tranny was so bad that he literally told me everything was destroyed. I called the dealership immediately. Jason expressed concern, and then offered to sell me a warranty (after the car's purchase and after it had already be looked at) that would "completely" cover the cost of a new transmission. I asked about trading in the car or just selling it back. I was ignored and again prompted with buying the warranty. I had little to no choice. I'm a poor college student, and was in dire need of a car after an accident cost me my last vehicle. I didn't want to pay for the warranty nor did I feel I should have to. Jason offered to cover half. Once the warranty was purchased, I had to wait an additional two weeks to receive the warranty card to get work started on my car. Once it was received, I went back to the shop. The warranty also turned out to be a total sham, and at minimum the new transmission would cost me $1,000 at minimum should the warranty company actually decide to pay out - a decision they would come to after I paid $300 to have the transmission completely torn down and itemized even though 2 different mechanics could tell by looking at it, that it was bad. I called the dealership again. Jason stated he would call the warranty company. I received this excuse for a week before he simply stopped returning my calls. While it is speculative to say that Jason knowingly sold me a car with a bad transmission, it is hard to think otherwise. Both St. Louis mechanics told me that anyone who regular deals with cars - dealers and their mechanics that run through their cars to make sure they check out - would have immediately known the transmission was bad. And ultimately, it is just bad business to sell a car to someone which turned out to have a bad transmission 48 hours later. No reputable dealer would let a customer be that upset with their purchase shortly after the sale when their business is so word-of-mouth. K & A Quality Auto seems to not care about their reputation, and that is the worst type of dealer to buy from because they will literally sell you anything without any moral responsibility. I feel swindled, and that I was repeatedly told "we'll get this taken care of" to simply keep me off their backs. I didn't even get the title until after the inspection was expired. Shocked, taken advantage of, and out $3500+. Sold a car in terrible condition at an excellent condition price.
