We needed someone to checkout a used a car before purchasing it. They did everything we needed them to do. Good price! Wonderful people! This a great place of business!!!

I have never been more pleased with a mechanic. The owner himself replaced my oil cooler in my vehicle which is no easy task. I had an emergency trip from south Carolina to Kansas that I had to make immediately and he not only worked on my vehicle after hours, gave me continued updates, was extremely polite and professional; but he also completed the task so well and efficiently that my trip to Kansas and back was a breeze no car worries what so ever. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone and everyone. I've never tipped a mechanic before but I sure did tip him....thank you so much for the excellent repair work. Your awesome...

Just amazing!!! I have been looking ALL over for someone to put in just one spark plug and I was getting the run around for WEEKS. The last mechanic I went to took 5 hours just to do 2 and tried to charge extra for the last one when they KNEW exactly what was needed to be done before I got there!! Clea's has a new life long customer THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SPEEDY AND GREAT SERVICE!!!

Mr. Clea stayed after hours to install a battery for me when O Rielly was unable to install it. He was friendly and prompt and the price was reasonable for the amount of time it took to install. I have a Ford Escape and apparently the batteries are difficult to change. I would recommend his service and plan to use him in the future!

Sadly I had to give this place 1 star just to even be able to put a review up...but I just want to put my HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE out there so people will think twice before bringing it to Clea's Automotive. A little over a month ago I took my 2012 Volkswagen Jetta up to them as they told me they would be good for the job and they knew exactly what they were doing. I trusted that and reviews and let them work on my car. WORST MISTAKE. 3 days go by before I even hear about what is particularly is wrong with it. They then tell me it is my high pressure fuel pump in which they say I need to pay for up front due to it being over $500. I don't even argue with them about that and I go immediately after work and pay these people $900. Days and days go by and I hear nothing from them, then finally get a reply back saying its still not running. Few more days go bad still don't hear anything. Finally get him to text back, yup read correctly TEXTED back and told me that my injectors were bad and I was going to need to replace those as well and that they were going to be $350 a piece in which I apparently needed all 4. I said "Okay, how much are those going to cost for labor?" Charles replies back he doesn't know because he hasn't come up with a good quote yet. I'm waiting weeks now at this point for updates and come to find out without even telling me a quote this man has gone ahead and put all 4 new injectors on, a new fuel regulator, a new fuel filter, and has the audacity to tell me he's no longer going to work on my vehicle because he can't get it running and he's done messing with it after a MONTH. I take it to the dealership because they told me that's what I needed to do which I feel like they should have recommended in the beginning because obviously they didn't know what they were doing with it from the get go. Dealership calls me to tell me they have completely messed up my whole fuel system because they didn't do the repair in the correct order. So that $900 they got out of me and the month of time they "worked" on my car. I'm now looking at $9000 worth of parts that need to be placed now. That's not even including labor. I was told after me telling them and showing them what the dealership said about my car that I would be given my full refund back. Well, that was a big FAT LIE. They have made every excuse possible to not give it back, so I got the police involved to let them know what was done to my car, and I was told that I needed to just go ahead and take them to court because they will have to reimburse me for everything they have caused to my car, the two diagnostic fees I've had to pay, the tow bill to the dealership from their shop, and the $900 they seem to be so pressed about. Charles continuously laughed in my face, cussed at me saying I wasn't gonna tell him what was done correctly or incorrectly because he knows he did everything right. This has been by far the worst experience I have ever had with a mechanic shop, and it was the most unprofessional encounter with Charles. In my opinion this is nothing but a shade tree mechanics. Even when I was picking my car up to have it towed a woman was in the office asking why they told her that her repair was going to be $40 and she ended up having to pay $100. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..... save your money and go elsewhere.

I had Clea's tow my vehicle and take a look at the engine. The staff at Clea's was easy to work with. They answered quickly and got back to me promptly. Thanks Clea's for your services.

I had a lincoln MKS 3.7 with a water pump failure. They fixed it pretty quick and they were professional and informative about other parts in my car that are getting worn out.
