Kyle is great! Very accommodating and his prices are fair. Highly recommend him. My wife's car was making weird noises. He quickly diagnosed and repaired two separate problems and he recharged her air conditioner read more

I'm sharing on my father's behalf since he is 84 years old and I feel Kyle's Auto Repair took advantage of an poor old man, and has cost my dad over $30,000!!!..And his car left Kyle's shop with even more damage and stolen parts!. It's now 5 years later and my dad is still trying to battle this in court... SHAME ON YOU! ***SEE BELOW FOR FULL STORY*** Anthony M. 5 years ago WARNING TO FELLOW CAR ENTHUSIAST DON'T TAKE YOUR CAR TO KYLE'S AUTO REPAIR AND RESTORATION LOCATED AT 1728 NORTHCREST DR. CRESCENT CITY, CA Just to mention a few of my bad experiences.......after my 1970 Pontiac GTO had been sitting in my garage for over 25 years, due to a malfunctioning engine; and because at the time it was more important to provide for my family. After retiring from over 35 years in law enforcement, my kids persuaded me into restoring my GTO which I bought new..........THIS IS WHEN MY NIGHTMARE BEGAN. First mistake: TAKING IT TO KYLE'S AUTO REPAIR AND RESTORATION. They refused to give me a written estimate as I requested. And said they would charge me by the hour but, promised it wouldn't cost me very much to repair... LIE !!! After nearly a year, Kyle and his father Curtis ended up charging me close to $31,000, After all was said and done........ for a job that should of cost only about 7 to 8 thousand dollars. Did you know, to replace the engine that I purchased elsewhere and had delivered to Kyle's garage to be installed in my GTO you had to remove both fenders and the bumper first?!??!? NEITHER DID I !! Now, my new transmission that they installed had no first gear and will start in any position the gear is placed in. That's why Kyle warned me to apply my brakes before starting the car. While my GTO was in Kyle's possession my positraction in my GTO was stolen. Kyle and his father replaced it with a single wheel drive unit. Also my original gas tank was taken and replaced with a cheaper tank. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL GAS TANK TO BEGIN WITH. Kyle also rewired my GTO, now I have no horn or backup lights. And due to to bad wiring it caused my electric radiator fans to burn out the transfer switch. Which I had repaired at a different shop. Plus, Kyle charged me for new parts that he never installed in my GTO. He also charged me for a supposedly new car battery that had three dead cells and had to be replaced shortly after getting my car back because the battery wouldn't hold a charge. I just mentioned a few things that went wrong while Kyle and his father had my car. PLEASE BE WARNED..... I filed a complaint with the California bureau of auto repair (B.A.R.). After the B.A.R.'S investigation they ruled in my favor and they agreed that I definitely was taken advantage of by Kyle and his father, Curtis.......However, I discovered that the B.A.R. has no teeth. They informed me that their hands are tied because there hadn't been enough complaints filed against Kyle's auto and restoration....... Folk's this is like your local municipality refusing to install traffic lights at a known dangerous intersection, until there's a certain amount of fatalities that had occurred. I hired a local attorney, but he proved to very incompetent and ineffective......... I'm still looking for a competent attorney!! I had been screwed twice. First by Kyle and his father, Curtis and now by the attorney that I hired to seek justice on my behalf.... Folks, I believe that people should support their local businesses but, NOT WHEN THEY STEAL AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PUBLIC !!!! read more

Friendly and skilled service, although you have to wait a few weeks to get an appointment. Very happy with the quality of work done on my truck. read more

I had Kyles do some repairs and preventative work last year in December. Suddenly 11 months later I had a coolant leak! I had Kyles take a look at it. The part in question was still under warranty. The problem was somewhat stubborn....requiring two trips to his shop to fix. However I am extremely impressed with his professionalism and abilities. The repair was covered by the warranty. Can't recommend Kyles Auto Repair enough. Thanks again Kyle!! Five Stars! read more

Friendly ownership. Took care of my diesel truck oil change at a very reasonable price. Not sure of all the services they perform but would recommend given them a try on your next auto/truck maintenance or repair. read more

I am new to Crescent City so I had to read about all the shops available and make a selection praying I wouldn't get ripped off. Kyle's Auto had the best reviews. I figured if they were half as good as their reviews I might be okay. Well good news they are great. I received excellent service. I felt safe and comfortable having them work on my car. They even washed my filthy car due to sitting under a sap tree for almost a year. This is a great shop I highly recommend this Auto shop. read more

First time customer today at Kyle's Auto Repair. Impressed with their quality of service, friendliness, and reasonable cost. Will be a returning customer. read more

Great Service! They say what they mean and stand by the service provided. ThankYOU for serving Crescent City.

We were camping with the trailer when we realized the truck needed brakes. Kyle was very kind and worked us into his schedule. Got the job done quickly. It was also 200 or so less than what Les Schwab quoted us. read more

Down here from Washington when all the warning lights came on in my car, i didn't want to drive back without checking it out. Kyle got me in immediately, ran a diagnostic, turns out it was a gas cap that had been placed on loosely, he cleared all my warning bells and sent me on my way with a lot more confidence in my vehicle. Kyle was friendly, knowledgeable, and completely reasonable! read more

Kyle and his crew are the friendliest, quickest, smartest, most honest mechanics hands down!!! My car broke down on my way back to Oregon, and Kyle had it back on the road in under 4 hours! The price was very reasonable as well! What a lifesaver you guys are! I would highly recommend Kyle's auto repair to anyone in the Crescent City area. I hope you enjoyed the beer, you boys deserved it. Also I apologize to Curtis, I didn't think to get him something different. read more

Kyle and his crew were the friendliest mechanics that crescent city could offer. My partner and I had some car issues on a Friday night and after calling 4 different mechanics that turned us down, Kyle's took us in and helped make sure we were back on the road again with top notch service. Thank you for saving our weekend read more

While traveling from California to Washington State I had car trouble and had to stop in Crescent City. Kyle and Don were knowledgeable, respectful and honest and fixed my car as quick as they possibly could. It was affordable and I got home safe. I would definitely use them if I lived locally. read more

I was a little wary seeing a mechanic with all 5-star reviews, but Kyle's Auto Repair deserves every one of them. I've never had such a great experience at a mechanic's. We were in town on vacation, and the check engine light on our 2008 Honda Fit started flashing when the car accelerated. The car also started shaking when it was idling. We were worried about driving back to the Bay Area without getting it checked out, but we were dreading dealing with a mechanic. We described the situation to Curtis, and he offered to hook the car up to the diagnostic machine to see if there were any stored codes from the flashing check engine light. He asked us about the last place we fueled up the car (as fuel issues can sometimes cause the shaking), and after we mentioned it'd been a long while since we'd had a compression test, or any maintenance, done on the car, he offered to do that and replace the spark plugs if needed. He laid out the costs of each piece of the diagnostic work and the parts involved for us, and spent a while on the phone with different suppliers trying to get us the less-expensive air filter that was supposed to be in stock. It was only a difference of $12 between the two, but he didn't hesitate to make the calls, and eventually got the less expensive filter. Kyle did the work on the car and tested it out, and now the shaking is gone and the acceleration is much smoother, all for much less than we would've been charged anywhere in the Bay Area. Next time our car is coming up for routine maintenance, it's tempting to plan another trip to Crescent City for another trip to Kyle's. I never would have imagined spending an hour or two at a mechanic's would leave me in a better mood, but Curtis and Kyle are wonderful people who do a great job, and I can't recommend them more strongly. read more

These guys know what they're doing. And they do it well! The price was quoted at $230.00 But ended up being just about $150.00 That was a great surprise. And now I can't hear my motor running. .very satisfied customer here :-) I'll be taking my car there from now on. They treat you like a good friend too, that means a lot to me, I didn't feel hurried, like most other mechanics make ya feel. .. can't beat the great treatment and great prices. Thanks a ton you guys! ! read more

While on a camping trip along the Northern California coast where it seemed like nothing was going right, low and behold the clutch in our Subaru failed, leaving us stranded only slightly north of Brookings, Oregon. At nearly six o'clock on a Friday night, it seemed like we were going to be stranded. I picked up my phone in an attempt to find any shop that was open. Even though we had run into some real road blocks on that trip, the fates aligned when we found Kyle's shop! Kyle and his dad, Curtis, were staying open late to finish a job for someone else who was in a pickle, and they were happy to allow us to drop our car at their shop to take a look. Not only were Kyle and Curtis incredibly helpful when we were in a bind, they went out of their way to get us the help we needed from a ride to our hotel room, to allowing us to leave our car in their shop until we were able to retrieve it a week later (we live in Reno and had to leave Crescent city on Saturday in order to make it back to work on time). These guys are awesome. If I lived remotely close, I'd give them my business any time I needed anything car related. Thanks for all the help, you guys are awesome! read more

Kyle is so honest and trustworthy. He has been working on cars for his entire life, so his skill level is top notch. Oil changes, tune ups, brakes, and everything else under the hood. Kyle's got it covered. I am pretty skeptical of mechanics with scare tactics and all, but I would trust my car with Kyle any day. read more

10/10. I got towed here because I got a rock stuck in my tire and it began smoking a little when I was driving it. Kenny was so kind, helpful, and quick to identify and resolve this issue. Because it took so little effort(ha!) they did not charge. Even if they had, I am so appreciative of everything they did to solve the problem and get us on the road as soon as possible. read more

I broke down on a Sunday in the middle of route 199. Lug nuts broke off and was towed to his garage. As being Sunday there was a slight chance of them being open and were. I honestly have never met such nice people in my life. Within three hours they found the parts and fixed my truck. Great price and fun to talk to . I wish I lived closer so they could be my mechanic. Thank you guys for the great work! read more

Kyles Auto Repair - This is what they fixed for me . - Auto Repair Near Me - Crescent City, California

Kyle is HONEST and AWESOME, my car died, possible fuel pump and common problem for my car. Was quoted almost $800. I am not wealthy and this was alot! I took the car in last night and after checking it out thoroughly, Kyle and Don determined it was a security problem, costing me only $50!!!! No need to cancel Christmas, Thank you guys read more

My family and I were vacationing in Crescent City and my 2005 Odyssey broke down due to electrical problems. Of course, it was Saturday when it happened. Kyle was very motivated to help me figure out what was wrong with my car even before I brought it in, researching possible problems and looking for parts that I might need. The problem ended up being a failed battery, and he went to great lengths to properly diagnose it and make sure that my old battery was underperforming. He wasn't even going to charge me any labor, just charging me for the battery I bought from him. Of course, I paid him extra for his time, as I was very happy with the result. Kyle is extremely ethical, very intelligent, and very helpful. I pride myself in being a good judge of character, and I could not ever see him ripping you off. He's a class act as far as I'm concerned. I believe that any person could trust him to not price gouge or take advantage of lack of car knowledge on the part of a customer. Kyle, thanks again for getting us back on the road! We had a fun vacation thanks to you! read more

They are awesome kind people. They get all our business!!! Fair prices, great communication...a car repair shop that you can rely on.

I don't leave reviews often, unless a place just really impresses me all around. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt welcome. Curt and I chatted for a while. He explained to me that they had a few projects going on and that the earliest they could look at my Blazer would be about a week. I towed my ailing truck there and was set on not hearing back from them for a while. A day and a half later and Kyle had it finished. The bill wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated either. If you are local, get your car work done here. If you are passing through and need car work, these guys got you covered. From incredible customer service, to knowledgeable and fast mechanics,they are hands down the best repair shop I have ever done business with. read more

My boyfriend and I are on a road trip from Seattle visiting the Northern California coast. We decided to get an oil change just for peace of mind in our good old Toyota forerunner. We're so glad we found this place! The guys helping us (I think Kyle and his dad?) were helpful, entertaining and professional. Prices were very reasonable and they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. They have a wonderful dog and told us lots of fun stories (while working of course). They even gave us some great travel recommendations! Overall, a great experience! I would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

These guys were so great! I was driving home to Canada from California when my car started leaking massive amounts of coolant, so I found these guys on Google and gave them a call. They were able to fit me in that evening, even though they were about to close, and were able to get me fixed up and back on the road in under an hour. Such friendly, personable service, with totally affordable prices. Thanks guys! read more

Excellent work, repairs done right. This place was a blessing for us. We were on a cross country trip and we were lucky to find such a decent shop. The crew are friendly and efficient. I wish they were in my hometown. read more

We showed up an hour early for our appointment and were in and out in a snap. We also enjoyed some great conversation and two lovely shop dogs. Service was friendly, professional, efficient and speedy. We appreciated this after a long road trip and a car in need of some TLC. We'd recommend this place! read more

I've been here twice. Both times staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Would highly recommend to anyone with auto repair needs in and around Crescent City. read more

I planed a road trip from Washington to Missouri along the California coast. My car decided to stop working just 40 miles north of Crescent City, CA. I had it towed to Kyles Auto Repair and Restoration. Kyle and his dad stayed late past closing to take a look at my car and gave me the bad news that it would cost $7000 to fix (engine problem). Since the car was only worth $3500, I decided to scrap it. Kyle and his dad said they would take it to the scrapyard for me, at no charge. They also drove me to the nearest Hertz rental car, at no charge. Without a rental car available, they drove me to the nearest hotel, at no charge. Tomorrow, it just so happens that they will be traveling south to a drag race in Samoa, CA. They are dropping me off, with all my gear, at the Eureka Airport to pick up a rental car, at no charge. I highly recommend Kyles Auto Repair and Restoration. They cannot be surpassed in respects to customer service, and they will go beyond their means to get you back on the road again. read more

Every review of every auto repair shop in Crescent City was written by someone who broke down there on a road trip. My dawg and I were no different, as our clutch went out on the hill leaving Crescent City. We found Kyle's shop, interrupted his sister's birthday celebration by accident, and he was extremely helpful, professional and nice to us. He fixed our clutch in two days the week before Christmas and was up front about the cost at all times. I'll be back any time I need any repair when I happen to pass through. Thanks Kyle, my dawg and I are forever in your debt. read more

Our car window got stuck halfway down while we were on a road trip. The gentlemen at Kyle's Auto were able to identify the source of the problem and, since we couldn't stay long enough for a necessary car part to be ordered, arranged for that part to be sent to Trinity Automotive in Arcata, where we were able to stop in the next day and get the problem fixed. read more

My fuel injector was replaced not just ran through with some cleaner so big difference and i spent the same money you charged so in my opinion it was still a waste to pay 200 you didnt resolve the issue which is usually the case when you go to charge someone what you usually quoted them the shop who fixed it said you couldve gone further and corrected the situation since you already had my car taken apart but its alright it seemed you didnt really have any experience with my car model in particular so ill take the blame i should've just waited and taken it to a better staffed shop i just look at it as i donated 200 which is what I usually spend on a pair of Jordan's and it was more than one shop who diagnosed the faulty fuel injector neither of which charged to just hook up their code reader to my vehicle read more

My wife and I were in Crescent City on vacation when the water pump in the Jeep failed. Kyle stayed late on a Saturday night (I called just as he was closing up) found a source for the necessary parts, worked clean and fast, obviously took great care and pride in what he did, and got us out the door for far less than I thought it was going to be. I highly recommend Kyle's if you are having car trouble and you're in the area. read more

Stopped by the shop on Saturday because here on yelp it says open on Saturdays. When I got there the guy said we are closed today and not very polite. He said they would be open Monday. On Monday a lady answered the phone and said we are closed on Mondays. The mechanics are not here. It also says they are open on Monday on yelp. read more

Kyle is a great guy and both him and is Dad are honest upstanding folks. They didn't even charge me to take a look at my tire (which was getting low on one side) and check my breaks (for my piece of mind after I heard a lot of squealing). I'm in the middle of a long road trip so car issues are a real show stopper. They fit me in and had me back on the road quickly and feeling a LOT better. I don't think you could find better people, or mechanics in Crescent City. Thanks again for your help! I only wish this garage was in my home town. read more

True life savers! We had an oil change before hitting the road in Portland, OR headed for the redwoods. Just outside of Crecent City our jeep started smoking and we realized we had a massive oil leak! We were guarded while looking for a mechanic who was open on Saturday and wouldn't charge us an arm and a leg. We were fortunate enough to to talk to Curtis who welcomed us. Kyle found and fixed the leak efficiently and at a fair price while we hung out and played with their adorable shop pups! Kyles Auto Repair and Restoration got us feeling safe on the road again. read more

My wife and I were headed back home from the redwoods near Crescent City when our car broke down.The tow truck driver took us to Kyle's, initially we were nervous, especially since we are from out of town, but the folks at Kyle's were incredibly friendly and very helpful. Not long after we arrived they found what was wrong, they even let us see exactly what the problem was. While we waited, Kyle's father told us stories which made the time fly by. After they finished we were on our way but they told us if we should have any problems on our way back home to let them know and they would be happy to help out again. If you are currently a stranded visitor looking for a place to take you car then I would definitely recommend taking it to Kyle's. read more

My family and I were on the way back to Seattle from Carmel when we started to loose power 15 miles out of Klamath. Our tow truck driver took us to Kyle's Auto, as he was only one of two mechanics in town who would touch an Audi. We got to his shop late Friday afternoon Kyle was able to diagnose, find the part, fix the problem, and get us out on the road first thing in the morning. Thanks, Kyle! read more

I called asking for labor costs and the guy said that only they could provide the parts at a 40% mark up. Moreover, only their parts could be used because their insurance would not allow customers to provide the parts. I researched that and could not find one instance of insurance requiring the shop to provide the parts. He changed his story when I mentioned how unusual that is. He then began talking about chicken eggs and cooks. I found the conversation to be dishonest, and thus bring to question the honesty of the shop as a whole. read more

Kyle is so awesome. Me and my boyfriend were driving from LA to Seattle and our car broke down in the middle of nowhere. A tow truck came and the man recommended Kyle. He took our 93' Mercedes in at 4 PM, diagnosed the problem, and got the parts within the hour. Our car was back on the road about 3 hours after it broke down which was pretty much unbelievable. Not only that but Kyle was super chill. Thank you Kyle!!!!!! read more
