Brought my C7 in for torque tube work. Mike did an excellent job on removing it and doing repairs, plus some additional services while everything was taken apart. Stuff i hadnt even thought of. He is very meticulous and I highly recommend him to work on your car. Extremely fair pricing and very honest! A+Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

Havlick's is my preferred place to get my car serviced. They're honest hard working people that go out of their way to make things right. I believe their high ratings are earned by proving themselves and not by asking for a rating at the peak of your happiness. That is to say I believe their ratings aren't artificial like some businesses. I personally will be continuing to ask for their help when I have troubles.

Thanks Havlik s for repairing a part on my jeep FAST!! They gave me a reasonable price and got the job quickly so could get back to my traveling job. Will refer them to others who may need future servicing.

Called and was able to get. From out of town and visiting family. During 8+ hour drive brakes felt off . They checked the brakes and took car for test drive. Was told I have 10k miles left and everything is as it should be. No charge for time- did leave $. I would recommend as they could have charged me and I wouldn t have known. Thanks guysService: Brakes

I was referred here by another auto repair shop. I needed my AC evap core replaced due to it leaking, it was a big job. They also recommended changing other parts in that area while the entire dash, console and armrest area were removed. It took them a day and a half to put it back together but they were thorough and drove it to make sure all the electrical and electronic systems were working right. I strongly recommend Havlik's for your car repair needs. Great job and allot cheaper than a dealer.

Kudos! I stopped at Havliks auto service on 16th Avenue because my front sensor had fallen into the vehicle. I went in to make an appointment and the owner said he could pull my car in right now and take a look. He was able to put it back where it belonged and I was out of the shop in a couple minutes. Places just don't do things like this anymore! I would highly recommend going to the shop and I know I will in the future.

I have taken my car here before and they have done good work but I needed some work done and they said we can't get you in until the 22nd. I called a few other places and it is really busy at other places so I called back to schedule an appointment and was told the first week in August. I called back literally 40 minutes later and they booked up 7 days in a matter of 40 minutes? I guess this place is so great that they can't you get in.. until 2023

Excellent customer service, and affordable repair costs!!! Havlik's Auto Service has become my go to repair shop. They are very easy to work with and you receive an accurate estimate for vehicle repairs. If they find any issues that need addressed they will call and discuss the options and additional costs with you before preforming the work. Havlik's Auto Service is a shop you can TRUST and have complete CONFIDENCE in their repairs!!!!

The guys at Havlik's are great! They have never talked down to me just because I'm a woman, they have always been up-front and honest with me in regards to any work needed on my vehicles and their prices are better than others I've used in the past.

These guys are great. I live out of state 4+ hours away and they quickly helped my daughter out with transmission issue. Professional, courteous, pleasant, respectful, service oriented, and understand how to communicate with their customers. Thanks Havliks Team!!!!

So let's just say I did check somewhere else first only because Havlik's wasn't sure they could get me in this week, and because of me sometimes needing a wheelchair (van has my trailer) I needed it done ASAP. Brakes were bad... it was obvious.The issue with the other guys: I didn't feel like the info I got from the other place was right, what was wrong didn't seem "real." Then the quote seemed REALLY high from the other guys too.So we called Havlik's back (we definitely called them first.) We've been there time after time since 2015, my in-laws will only go there... it's all the way across town for us. We are on Blairsferry NE, Havlik's is 16th AVE Sw.I don't care. We will make the drive anytime.Havlik's: Asked me what the first quote was from the other repair shop... I trust them so much, I told them. 1200 bucks. They said for the same stuff they'd do it for 800.Then the best part. These guys and their honesty. I planned on rotors pads and calipers-I planned on 800. Happy to pay 800 over 12.They called me and said it was 400. Why 400? Because the other guys were wrong about my calipers. They were fine. Pads were metal on metal and needed new rotors but that's it.They could have screwed me. They could have charged the 800. They could have been like the other guys.They are not. They are the best, most qualified, honest, fastest working, REAL mechanics that remind me of my dad. (No you're not old :) but he was like you, an honest mechanic)I thank you truly for your service, your honestly, and the quality of work you always provide! Mike and gang you are 100% amazing!Services: Exhaust, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Brakes, Brake service & repair, Oil change

Don't ever go. They pick and choose what to tell you so they can get out of you what you are willing to put into a vehicle. Also installed used parts when they were under the impression they would be new.
