Kind Words From Our Customers

After my local mechanic that I had been seeing for years moved, I spent a year or so looking for new one that I could trust not to overcharge me, do good work, and not try an swindle me into unnecessary repairs. A friend recommended Action Auto last year and I’ve been with them ever since. They do incredible work, are fairly priced, and are quick. They are also super flexible–I’ve gotten in same day for an oil change. I love that. And I love how personable they are! I call and I am recognized b

I needed an engine replacement (ugh), and they provided the lowest estimate and could fit me in before most other shops. Troy and his staff were incredibly easy to get a hold of and work with, and the replacement was done well and finished when he said it would be. And he owns a towing service, so it made it much easier for my car to get picked up when I couldn’t drop it off. Top notch people and high quality service

Spencer Gordman

Troy is great, he’s extremely knowledgeable, honest, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg… highly recommend him to anybody in the area

Brock Landwehr

Saved our weekend! Our car broke down while traveling through Lawrence, gave us a choice to have it towed anywhere. Gave us an honest opinion of what the vehicle needed. Quickly repaired our car to get us back on the road. Worked with our warranty service for payment. Thanks for everything! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
