Wow! Just Wow.... ok I'm done. JUST KIDDING!!!! I cannot give this place enough positive accolades! I got into a car accident. I was rear ended on the freeway. It scared the heck out of me. My BF used to work in the "car" world and we are close with one of the mechanics who worked at his old place, Ed. Ed moved to Kirwood a while back. Because I trust Ed, I decided to take my car to wherever he was working, and that happened to be this AWESOME body shop!! From the moment I walked in, to the moment I picked my car up, I felt like they absolutely cared about me and my car. They are the most honest and caring shop I have ever worked with. Clint is an amazing owner who is always trying to give the best deal to his customers and make things happen for them, that no other mechanic would do. We heard it while we were waiting to pick our car up and experienced it as well. Sean worked on my car and took care of the claim. He was absolutely awesome, amazing and wonderful. He put me at ease with a situation that could have been so incredibly stressful. His communication skills are on point and my car was done quickly and incredibly well. I will NEVER use another shop again. I highly recommend this place for any issues with your car!! read more

My 2025 Tahoe was brought in by the dealer for paint correction due to factory paint dimples. What should have been a straightforward repair has turned into a nightmare of ongoing issues. The shop has now worked on the vehicle three separate times, and each visit has resulted in additional damage rather than improvement. The paint has developed new chips and scratches, the clear coat has been compromised, and the overall finish is noticeably worse than when I first brought it in. In addition, the paint protection film (PPF) was damaged during the most recent repair process. Instead of preserving the integrity of the vehicle, the repeated work has diminished it. There has been little accountability for the cumulative damage caused during these repairs. At this point, the vehicle is no longer in the condition expected for a new car, and there has been no meaningful resolution offered. If you value proper paint work and careful handling of your vehicle, I would strongly encourage you to look elsewhere. read more

I'm conflicted writing this review because my first two experiences here were positive, but my most recent visit changed my overall impression. Previously, I came in for an oil change/inspection on our old car and later a post-purchase inspection on our newer vehicle. Both of those visits went well, which is why I returned when I started hearing a concerning noise. The reason for the lower rating is the communication, consistency and trust issues during this visit. There was a new front desk person. When I called and asked about the diagnostic fee, I was told $115. When I arrived, the estimate I was given to sign said $160, which was a huge discrepancy and very surprising. What bothered me was not only the difference in price, but also the way she handled the situation, which came across as defensive and dismissive rather than helpful. I then asked whether the diagnostic fee would be applied toward the repair if I moved forward, and I was told no. That was the first time I had ever encountered that at any shop I have been to, so it did not sit well with me. A staff member who overheard the conversation then stepped in and said he would try to complete the diagnostic in 30 minutes instead of an hour and, if so, would only charge half of the diagnostic fee, which I appreciated. Two issues were identified that required repairs. The only reason I chose to have the one repair done here was because I was told it was dangerous to continue driving the vehicle in that condition, and I did not want to risk taking it elsewhere first. However, because the other repair was not presented as an immediate danger, I will be having that work done at another shop and will be transferring my future service there as well. There was also conflicting information during the process, including differences between what I was told by phone and what I was later told in email responses, seemingly from two different staff members. I had to follow up by email to get clear answers in writing, and some important details were either left out initially or only clarified later after additional emails. One concern was consistency in the inspections. In less than 3,000 miles of driving, I was told the rear brakes went from 9 mm at the earlier inspection to under 2 mm at this visit. There is no plausible explanation for a change of that magnitude based on our driving. Therefore, that kind of change in such a short time raises questions about whether measurements are being taken the same way each time. The email responses I received did not really resolve that concern. I understand that mistakes and miscommunication can happen, but clear communication, consistency and trust matter a lot. When those things are missing, it creates a negative overall experience and fractures the relationship which is why we will not be returning. read more

Clint and Sean and the whole crew did an excellent job on my front bumper. Black is a difficult color sometimes, but it came out perfect. They went above and beyond with their customer service. I got an accurate estimate and work finished on time. 5 stars read more

I did just get my car 6 months ago. After someone backed up into me, then they were very helpful with the insurance, getting the parts, and getting the actual repairs done. They had my car a week, and that is quicker than I thought it would be without my car. Thank you for the quality repairs on my Chevy Trax. - Julie read more

this is the second experience ive had with kirkwood now, and again, i would recommend the 10/10 times, hands down! i ran my jeep into the worlds largest curb on christmas day, and brent took care of everything for me the day after christmas. he coordinated with my insurance company, kept me updated with progress, gave me a sweet deal, and my jeep looks and drives like it did before i tried to crush a curb with it. clint and brent are very professional, laid back, do fantastic work, and pricing is fair and on point. read more

Amazing people and got my car checked out thoroughly. Everyone was super friendly and took my car issues personally to try and fix them. Clint and Austin both helped me out a ton. read more

My Ford Fiesta was having all sorts of electrical problems, even the dealership was telling me to buy a new battery from them. Took it to Kirkwood Autoworx for a second opinion and the problem was simply the wires on the battery were loose. Feels great finding a place where they are honest and aren't trying to hose you down. Thanks guys, I finally found my go-to place for service! read more

I had some damage to the front bumper of my 2020 C8 Corvette and no shop would touch it (the car being a high end fairly new platform) but I was assured by my local GM dealership that Kirkwood Autoworx had experience with those so I gave it a shot. They did an AMAZING job and were the nicest folks to deal with. I hope I never have more body work done to the car but, if I do, I already know where to go! read more

I came last minute for a headlight bulb replacement and they got the job done in under 10 minutes. Super nice and helpful staff. I highly recommend this place if you want quick and quality service. Definitely coming back! read more

I was out of town, and I suddenly needed to find someone quickly to look at my car. I happened on Autoworx, although I had never heard of them. They looked at my car immediately, with no waiting. They were very friendly. They did an amazing job with my car, and I thought that the price was very reasonable. I was quite happy with them. When I got back home, my insurance company needed a lot of extra paperwork. They expected me to find a local mechanic, who would cost much more than I had already paid, and I would have to leave the car with them for hours. I called Autoworx, just in case they could help me. I talked to the manager, who was very friendly. I couldn't believe how much he did for me, that day, and at no extra cost. The people at Autoworx were very friendly, it was very reasonably priced, they did a great job, and they gave me unexpected service afterwards working over the phone at no extra cost. I rarely trust auto mechanics, but after that experience I highly recommend Autoworx. read more

We came in to look at my Mini Cooper and everything went very smoothly. They checked out like everything in my car, brakes, engine, the body, ALL of it. For a good price too! They treat their customers with great respect and are very nice. Would come back:) read more

Our family has been going to Kirkwood Autoworks for about a year. The guys in the shop are awesome! Super professional and up front. I needed my thermometer changed in my Chevy. Clint quickly responded to my call and even texted me with updates (which left me in the know). He was honest and truthful, also taught me exactly what the purpose of the piece was. He showed me the piece that he removed and even changed a piece that was rusted and would have caused me issues later. As a woman, I appreciate the patience the team at Kirkwood has. They are professional, knowledgeable and truthful. I recommend them to anyone who wants quality work done. Price point isn't bad either!! **also, Ruby (a little frenchie) is an absolute doll!!** read more

My car air conditioning was out, and I took it in to them and in three minutes John found a broken wire. He was fine with me fixing it myself. That is the sign if a classy, honest shop! read more

Clint has always been an upfront and honest mechanic. I was referred by a friend who I trust, and my experience has been excellent, and I will continue to bring my vehicle here. read more

Clint and team at Kirkwood Autoworx know what they are doing. The owner is an expert in his field and will deliver high quality work at a great price and he guarantees it. And if he can't fix it or it's not economically feasible he will tell you that too BEFORE he racks up a bunch of cost that is unnecessary. Myself and my wife take our cars there and my children both take their cars there as well. We recently had a used motor from LKQ installed in 2006 Kia. The whole project including the purchase of the car cost us about $2200. The car was immediately worth 4K when it left the shop. Still running great to this day. I would recommend this shop without hesitation. read more

I brought my car in for Clint to look at and diagnose and I received top notch service and complete honesty on what the true issue was with it. I highly recommend Kirkwood as a trustworthy mechanic to bring your vehicle to!!! read more

These guys are great! I came in with only a vague idea of what was wrong with my car and Clint was very helpful and informative when he tried to figure out what was wrong with it. He kept me updated and sent pictures to show me his tests results and gave me options on how to go about with repairing my head gasket. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an honest and friendly mechanic who is also very reasonable with pricing. I've already told all my friends about this place so here's my recommendation to you. read more

These guys have always been there whenever I've needed them. Superior service. I receive clear understandable information with an honest estimate. Takes the sting out of dealing with car maintenance. Did I mention honest? Seriously, quality work. read more

My mechanic, Clint, is knowledgeable, quick and effective. The high level of service he provides, coupled with the value pricing that Kirkwood Autoworx offers, makes for a great customer experience. Highly recommended! read more

Clint gave me a more than fair deal on replacing an A/C compressor on my Mom's 2006 Mini Cooper. He even let me supply my own part. He got it done quickly and communicated with me throughout the process. Give these guys a shot, I'm sure glad I did. read more

Clint the owner is involved in all jobs. We have returned 4 times now and referred friends. This shop explores all problems and gives true diagnostics, without added services. We have felt like Clint is very honest, reliable, always keeps us updated, responds to messages and enjoys his work. As long as this shop is around, we will have a mechanic forever. Thanks for your honesty and allowing us to put all confidence and trust in you for our family vehicles!!! read more

I found this place on yelp and messaged him about his prices. He told me to come by so he could check my car out. He was so helpful and showed me things I didn't know about a car. And most places try to get over on you because you are a female but I didn't feel this here. He fixed my car in a good amount of time and the price was very reasonable! He referred me to a tire place as well. He was very helpful! I would recommend this place read more

Im a full time student and my air bag turned on. I was hoping the light wouldn't be a big problem. Clint was very helpful, luckily he was able to just reset it and it went away it hasn't been a problem since. I appreciated that he tried different ways to get rid of the light before he gave me an estimated for a new motherboard. read more

I took my car in for a brake job yesterday. I don't have many options for my work commute so I can't have my car in the shop for long. The owner, Clint, assured me that it would be done in one day (so long as it was just brakes) and that's exactly what I got. I also expected a much larger repair bill, but again, Clint came through. He didn't try to sell me things I don't need, but did give me a heads up on a potential repair down the road--and he rotated my tires just because he's a nice guy and could tell they needed it (without charge)! As a single woman, it's critical that I have a mechanic I can trust -- I will definitely be using Clint again. read more

I started off the 2019 New Year needing a major service for my 2014 MDX. I chose to work with Kirkwood Autoworx because I was provided a detailed quote priced fairly compared to other shops around. I received a clear picture of all parts required and labor costs associated with this service. Not to mention it was a few hundred dollars less than the dealership. Clint was helpful from the first interaction to dropping off my vehicle, and picking it up. My wife and I felt this shop to be experienced, honest, and hard working. Clint even offered to show me all the old parts he changed out. So far, I feel great about pushing another 100k miles on my car. Thanks Kirkwood Autoworx, see you next service around. read more

If you want an honest, best customer service in town, reliable, just good people. Then Kirkwood Autoworx is your place! They took care of me and I will always refer them! Thank you guys for everything! read more

In 2009 I was in search for a new mechanic. Like most vehicles owners, I was looking for an honest mechanic that wouldn't overcharge for a less than par repair and service. So when a good friend of mine told me about his excellent experience with Clint at Kirkwood Autoworx, I figured I'd give him a try. Clint did an awesome job at fixing my car's issue and I could tell that he took great pride in his work. All these years later I still continue to take my vehicles to Kirkwood Autoworx because he does great work in a reasonable amount of time, and he doen't try to sell you something that you don't need. When I first started having Clint service my vehicle I lived in Roseville. I then moved to East Sacramento, and then got married and settled in Elk Grove. Then the one time I tried using a mechanic that my wife suggested that was close to home in Elk Grove I got burnt. I now happily make the trip to Kirkwood Autoworx for my auto repairs because it's worth the extra distance to go to someone that you trust. If you read this post, Clint, thanks for all your great work for all of these years. read more

I cannot thank Clint enough. The sunroof on my F-150 broke and I needed it fixed before Thursday . I drove in unannounced in the middle of a rush of customers and noticed they were extremely busy. I showed him what was broken and within two hours he had it fixed. Clint is the most personable mechanic I have ever met. And I have taken many vehicles to various mechanics in the past. Clint is the star. His service, professionalism, and honesty put him above the rest. I almost want another one of my vehicles to break again so he can fix it! read more

Clint has been my mechanic for some years now, and I found him by accident before he opened this shop full-time. He has kept my HHR with over 100K on the road with normal wear and tear repairs and saved me $$$$$$. Horrors what he told me the dealer would charge that he use to work for. Now my whole family uses him.He also found my grandson his first truck that Clint refurbished for him, and now has my husbands 1957 Ford custom in for a fuel pump. But the reason for the 5 stars (should be 10 stars in my opinion) is the honesty and his integrity and just plain an expert who believes in not gouging his clients(WOW what a concept). He has become the" go to place" when our cars have issues, and if he can't fix it,he tells you up front. I cannot brag enough about this super mechanic, but I do know one thing,..his new shop is too small and he will have to expand soon cause word of mouth is traveling in his favor....Love ya Clint read more

Where do I start? Honest, Upfront, Loyal and Trustworthy WITH Fair, Competitive Pricing?? What more could I ask for in an Auto Shop? Kirkwood Autoworx has been my go-to for years and I've recommended it to many, as I'll continue to do. Can't go wrong with a business like this. read more

Hands one of the best experience I have ever had! No BS straight shooter! He brings back the American way of get it done right the 1st time with a smile on your face when you leave. And most importantly guaranteed quality of work! read more

Clint is honest, hardworking and extremely reasonable. It's hard finding somebody trustworthy in this industry that won't give you the run around. My husband and I are lucky to have found Clint. He is the only one we would trust to work on our cars. We highly recommend Kirkwood Autoworx! read more

Clint was great! I contacted him through yelp to get a quote and he suggested that I come in to make sure my diagnosis was correct. He took a peek at the car checking to make sure it was not an easy fix. The determination was my diagnosis was correct and scheduled a time to get it fixed. I dropped the car off and he finished it on time. The heater works great. I would definitely use Clint again. read more

Best shop around. Clint is extremely knowledgeable, professional and honest. Fixes the problem the first time and stands by his work. Only shop I recommend to anyone looking to have their car repaired. read more
