Excellent work! Had a truck fixed amazing had a car in for oil change ready in 30 mins
Seth was quick and communicative. Overall this experience has been a nightmare he had me come on a Sunday to retrieve my truck, said it was ready to drive off. After starting the truck and letting it idle it died, upon pressing breaks it would die as well. He tried his best to figure out the problem but he gave up…
Seth and Chris were really great and patient with my car! Pricing was amazing for an alternator replacement and polite the whole time and kept me updated. I received price estimates and pictures from updates! I do plan on going back again, loved these guys
Can’t recommend enough! Super easy to work with, responds right away and really fair pricing! Every time I’ve needed my car looked at he’s been able to get it done so quickly and when I reached out about needing something fixed he got the parts ordered and completed it the next day
Highly recommend. Fair price, shows you what is what and explains what needs doing. No false issues! Saved me a few grand in repairs by finding my real issues and giving the green light on stuff Firestone said needed fixing - they were trying to rip me off. This guy is legit!
Great experience from start to finish! He did a brake flush on my vehicle and was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout the entire process. He took the time to make sure everything was done correctly, and the brakes feel noticeably better now. It’s hard to find someone who takes pride in their work…

Seth was quick and communicative. Overall this experience has been a nightmare he had me come on a Sunday to retrieve my truck, said it was ready to drive off. After starting the truck and letting it idle it died, upon pressing breaks it would die as well. He tried his best to figure out the problem but he gave up and refused any refund for an 1,100$ service. He hid when I came to grab my truck. He recommend I get my truck towed to a dealership to have it diagnosed and then tow it back for him to fix it. Upon getting it to Scotty’s auto services on the south side they diagnosed the issue and the ground wiring was dislodged when Seth removed the fuel tank. Hilariously he called me delusional for telling him the truck had none of these issues beforehand. Just be careful.

It’s hard to find someone who takes pride in their work and treats your vehicle like it’s their own. Fair, dependable, and great service. I’ll definitely be coming back for future work and would highly recommend him to anyone needing automotive service!
We live 2 hours away and came down to Drake to visit my son. His alternator went out ( of course on the weekend). Called Anywhere Auto Repair and Seth was able to get it in on Saturday afternoon and we were able to pick up on Sunday. Communication was great. Seth said pictures of old and new parts. Would highly recommend. Made sure my son and all of his friends had their number.
Chris fixed the alternator and installed new battery on my g35x and was very prompt and responsive with repair and costs communicated details, very knowledgeable about cars and was able to get my car in and out same day. Thanks for being honest mechanic and affordable prices. I recommend him and his son Seth for your auto repair needs.
After spending $ 2100 early this year with jeep dealership for a problem. Yet they ignore major issues i knew that was going on with my jeep. Well my little jeep decided to break down another $2100. If it wasn't for this man to repair her in 2 days an fixed a loose part after returning back into town from work. I would be stuck cursing at some poor newbie at a jeep dealership. Thank you so much for your help an being so responsive when I've messaged real late at night. Your the best again thank you!!! I enjoy how he would send photos/video updates on my repairs. See yah soon cause we'll I drive a jeep haha!
Reach out to replace the headlight. Seth, as per Seth’s instructions, was very professional and responsive. He could get it done in a few hours, and the price was reasonable. I had my truck back in two hours. Great job! I would highly recommend this service.
