Plains Automotive is probably the most honest and diligent shop in the area. I highly recommend this business!

Updating my review, this place is still ripping people off. A friend of mine went there recently, and get an estimate for repair. I begged her to go someplace else and get another estimate. Thank goodness She did. Plains wanted to charge her twice what another repair shop was going to charge and also told her two of the things they recommended repair didn't need repair at all. Typical. If I could give them zero stars I would. She had the car repaired elsewhere and now it runs great. Shame on you Plains. read more

I have an old 2002 Jeep that I have been bringing here since I bought it, they have kept running great, it always need something, don't charge a lot and always get it done fast and right. read more

Plains Auto is a good place to bring your older car for service. This is my repair shop. period. Why? Following a friends advice I dropped my car there to have the brakes on my car fixed. The owner said he should have the car ready by the end of the day. A few hours later I got a message from Plains Auto asking me to call them and my first thought was here we go...what are they going to try and sell me now?. I called them and talked to the owner. The own said that his repair tech damaged the front bumper of my car and smashed it in. Needless to say I was pissed off. I stopped by the shop and the passenger side front bumper was damaged. Apparently the repair tech was pulling into repair bay and ran into the car lift column. The owner said that he will repair the damage in his body shop next door with new parts and everything at no cost to me since it was his fault and it will take a few days to just get the parts. I agreed and when I got the car back it looked perfect with a new bumper and a good coat of paint. Two years later the car's paint and repairs are still perfect. The owner in this situation could have been dishonest and made up some story about how the car was damaged and it could have been a big battle but he is clearly a honorable man and someone that can be trusted even if they make a mistake. That in my book is worth my business any day. Anytime I need service this is my place. The repair prices are very low and they do great work. read more

Well, read the 2 good reviews and went there with my Maxima which was over 200000 miles. I knew something was wrong with the rear suspension. So after dropping the car, got a call from Steve saying the car has strut damage and also the engine frame is rusted and will fall off so its better not to do anything. Went over, nothing had been done on the car except they checked the check engine light ......... as that was easy. Final bill for not doing anything ......... $ 89.00 read more

I went back three years later for another service. Really amazing experience. Mechanic took the time to fully explain what they did and why, and went the extra mile to educate me about the work and parts involved. The whole team is a lot of fun; lively environment and friendly. I completely recommend Pains! read more

I have 5 vehicles in my family, and I pay for repairing all of them. I've tried many different auto repair shops in the area, and Plains is by far the best. They have excellent quality of work, and get the work done quickly! Who can afford to wait 2-3 weeks to have their car fixed? No one! Customer service and price are also great. read more

Great to find a mechanic who can fix and not just replace parts on a car. Plains sells cars they restore and knows where to find parts for older classic cars, including foreign cars read more

We were shopping for a used car and found Plains Automotive. Steve had the perfect car for us and fixed everything he thought would make it a great car. He also offered to fix anything we saw wrong. Not only did we buy the car but for the great price he had on it! Fair and reasonable with no need to haggle I recommend Plains Automotive for great car repair (at a fair price) and if your in the market for a nice used car :) try Plains! gm read more

Went back a couple times after the brake incident just because they're not too far and you can't beat the speed & availability. Definitely the place to go when you're in a pinch and can't be without your car for a week. No problems since the brakes issue. Hopefully it was just a 1-off thing. Gotta say too that the ladies at the front desk are top-notch. Seriously, whoever owns the shop hit a jackpot with them. They're great at customer service, can explain what you need done or had done and they're fast. read more

Plains Auto is my go-to mechanic, these guys can fix anything! As a small business owner if my trucks (or trailers) are broke down I'm loosing money. Steve and the crew at Plains are always there when I need them. This is a high quality operation, professional, honest, and timely. Great shop! read more

Plains Automotive is great. My whole family goes there! I bought my last car there too and have been very happy with it. Any time any us have a problem we call up and they always say bring your car right up. I have had many repairs done there and have always been happy with the results as well as the bill. read more

Very disappointed in auto repair and a resale auto. Had problems, said they were fixed and were not. We had used them for years only to find out they weren't reputable and could have resulted in a terrible accidents. read more

These guys at Plains are great. They've been fair in there pricing and fast in their repairs. I've used them twice and both times they did a super job. Keep away from dealers and try these guys. read more

It is hard to find a mechanic that is honest and does good work. My former mechanic was one of those, but he retired. I have been going to Plains Automotive now for about a year, and have had nothing but great experiences with them. I considered my visit today to be the true test, my transmission has been acting up. I feared the worst, but when I talked to them prior to the visit, they said it was likely a pressure issue. I had 2 places in the past tell me I needed a new transmission on my old van, but my old mechanic (new at the time) took a look, tightened the linkage bolt and sent me home! I dropped the car off this morning for a laundry list of things (brakes check, engine light issue, transmission issue and oil change). I got a call at 11:30 that my car was ready, the transmission issue was a pressure issue, so they topped it off, my brakes were fine, just some rust they cleaned up, and the engine light was due to a cracked vacuum hose. I found the cost reasonable for the amount of work they did, and was thrilled that they actually worked to fix the transmission issue, not just want to replace it. Glad I took the referral from my neighbor to go here, it has been well worth it! read more

I've used Plains Auto many times over the last 10 years and I've always walked away thinking I received good service at a fair price. Steve & the office crew are always receptive to trying to help and make an honest assessment of the required work to be done. I recommend Plains as a go to local repair shop. read more

We JUST purchased a car at Plains (today!) and we had a great experience. The price was right on and Steve (and the other people in the office) were great through the whole process-- even stayed after closing today so we could go pick it up when my husband got out of work. Since we're new to the area Plains will likely be our new automotive place! Would definitely recommend for a new car purchase or for maintenance. read more

Here we are just hours before the anticipated blizzard, went to start my car and the battery was dead!! I found Plains Auto on Yelp and with just two previous & positive reviews, I took a chance and called them. I'm so grateful I did. They were at my house to jump my car within an hour, I was able to drive to the shop to get the battery replaced and here I am 90 minutes later from the initial call and I'm done! The prices were fair and the people were great! I'll be back! read more
