Beware of this shop. They have numerous complaints open with the bureau of automotive repair. The owner kaycee will play the role of a nice old lady, than lie about prices, and recommend repairs you don't need. Look up the shop with the BAR before doing any serious repairs here.

My first time to Skeeter's Auto. Kaycee and her fine staff were amazing. They offer rides to and from home or office. Which is wonderful. I thought it was time to have my back break pads replaced. They told me it was not necessary as I had 40% left on the back pads. Saved me $. I had my oil change, tires rotated and air filter replaced at a reasonable price and Kaycee did not charge me for rotating the tires. Wow!!! From start to finished it was great. I will be back along with the rest of my family for their car repairs and maintenance.

Trustworthy and reliable service! Very professional, honest and reasonable price! Kaycee and her staffs are very kind and welcoming! Kaycee told me she has been in the same location for 40years. I think that explains more than enough how she runs her business!Services: Transmission, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil changeServices: Transmission, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

This review is long overdue! I love my SUV and when the engine went out I was so sad. I did not want a new car, really! We had no car payments and it felt good. We took it to Skeeters and yes, it needed a rebuilt engine. I have heard of how expensive they were and how horrible the experience is. Kaycee did everything she could to fix my car before it did come down to a new engine. It was going to take time to do it but she offered us a loaner, not a rental. She gave up a free car until mine was done. The price of a rebuilt could cost $$$, but not Skeeters. It was so reasonable I was shocked. It was finally done and it did have a hiccup. It was not always catching and would stall. She would take it back, give me a loaner and go at it again. I think it happened a couple times but Kaycee always made sure it was taken care of and NEVER charged another penny. I know my situation is different and needed more attention but, I didn't want to let go of my old SUV. Probably should have but, it has been at least 3 years and it is still running. I am thankful to the honesty and hard work that Skeeters did. They keep on it until they finish the job RIGHT! Not half boot it like so many auto repair shops do and charge you if they even put a finger on your vehicle. Skeeters is honest, if it doesn't really have to be done, they will tell you, not make up something to dig deep in your pockets. Trust me, after these past few years, still running, no problem. No car payment yet! I love that feeling!Thank you.

I used this place to get my car fixed. And they did a fantastic job. Absolutely no complaints. I actually refer this place if asked. And the lady in the office(I believe she is the owner) is extremely nice and helpful.I definitely recommend this place.

My car wouldn't start in the morning so I called a few places to see if they could do anything. When I called Skeeters I spoke to Kaycee and she was very helpful. She offered to call a tow truck to my house to take my car in.By the time I got to the shop, they had already started troubleshooting the problem. Kaycee told me the problem was the starter and she had the part ordered right away. She also told me that they did an overall inspection of my car and even had some recommendations, and she was not pushy at all like the other shops I've been to.In the end, they ended up fixing the problem (the starter), had the transmission oil changed (which I had never done before ....... ooops), they offered to wash my car and on top of that they even did a free oil change!!The customer service Kaycee and the rest of the employees provided was superb. I just felt the professionalism Skeeters offers is praiseworthy.I am not going anywhere else EVER again!

I've been a customer at Skeeters for years and take my truck in regularly for tuneups and oil changes, etc. I sometimes get a more complicated problem and they always do the repairs quickly and at a fair price. They kept me informed about the progress and delivered my truck on time at my office, which is very convenient. I highly recommend this place- they do quality repairs and the service is excellent.

these guys were really kind and professional. they kept us up to date and rather than bait and switch like a lot of auto repair places do, they kept their word on the pricing and labor. also, rather than tell us something really expensive needed to be replaced, they were honest and told us that wasnt the thing that needed fixing, but a different less expensive and easier to fix part that sometimes causes the same symptoms, unlike the other mechanics place we had gone to who wanted to replace the most pricey thing in the car! very awesome place. have my businiess for life.

TRUSTWORTHY AND RELIABLE SERVICE WITH A SMILE. WHEN I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH OF THE HIGH PRESSURE SALES PITCHES AND FEAR TACTICS I FOUND AT OTHER SHOPS, I FOLLOWED A FRIENDS ADVICE AND TOOK MY CAR TO SKEETERS. I WAS GREETED BY THE OWNER WITH A SMILE AND SHE QUICKLY HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT MY CAR, DETAIL WHAT WAS WRONG, AND RECOMMENDED EXACTLY WHAT WAS NEEDED TO KEEP ME DRIVING SAFE. SHE GAVE ME ALL THE INFORMATION I NEEDED, OFFERED HER ADVICE, AND ALLOWED ME TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. I WAS THEN GIVEN A FAR LOWER QUOTE FOR SERVICES THAN I GOT AT SEVERAL OTHER GARAGES AND SINCE HAVING THE WORK DONE I'M HAPPY TO SAY MY CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT! I DON'T OFTEN WRITE REVIEWS BUT WHEN I DO IT'S FOR THOSE WHO STAND OUT HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST. SKEETERS DEFINITELY DOES THAT, AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WHO VALUES QUALITY SERVICE AT A FAIR PRICE.

After going there a few years, Ive decided to move on. Over charges by the mechanic is more typical than not. I shouldn't have to beg a mechanic to work on my car, and do it right.

Honest, reasonably-priced repairs. Just make sure they're doing the work in-house because I haven't been happy with some of their sub-contractors.
