Beckley Automotive Services for engine repair
Clear ✕All 76 Google reviews tagged “Engine repair”
If I could give six stars I would. And I never say that. I drove from Kansas City to Newton, Iowa and had an engine issue. This was the first time that had happened on my car so I had no idea what to do. My BMW mechanic in Kansas City, that I trust immensely, recommended Beckley Automotive. I talked to them and…
Cory at Beckley's has been working hard to deal a with clunking sound originating from the front end of my 2010 Lexus LS460L. We now think this issue has been solved. We have experimented with many different options. If I have future problems I will be sure to give Cory a call.
This is the best place I have ever worked with for car maintenance and repair. Very trustworthy, timely and reasonable.
Repairs have always been completed 100% and the team is great to work with. Save a ton compared to going to a dealership.
Beckley’s is always great to work with. They are honest in assessing issues, and they don’t propose work if it isn’t needed.
Very convenient drop off location for downtown workers. Clear estimates and never once tried to upsell. Highly recommend!
Had a transmission and differential service done as well as a heat exchanger fix on my 2016 Lexus RCF - guys did a fantastic job as always. Only place I’ll take my JDM and European cars. Top notch h service with great prices - highly recommend.
I have used Beckley for years with a variety of domestic and foreign vehicles and they have never let me down. I cannot say that for any other car service facility.
Quick service at fair price
I had the timing belt replaced on my 2013 TDI Passat. I scheduled a couple of weeks out, and they got it done the same day that I dropped it off. The staff was very professional, and I was informed of all pricing and services the whole way through. The price was also very reasonable; two other places quoted $500 to…
Outstanding expertise and customer service!
Always great service (best on town for bmw) been going to beckley since 2011. Wont trust my car with anyone else.
Very timely and done as promised. Seems like a very organized business!! Will use again!!
This automotive service company is unique, from the staff, to the facility, and to the quality of services they provide. It is first class and even less expensive than dealer service. I recommend giving them a try.
This is a great business. They are very accommodating and thorough. They are so honest and fair. Highly recommend 💙
This is definitely my “go to”. As always, the customer service is top notch. You are walked through each step and you will feel valued. It doesn’t get any better than Beckley’s!
Always great customer service. Affordable and great quality work. I do business here very often and will continue to do so.
The professional staff at Beckleys are courteous and very knowledgeable whenever we bring in our BMW! I highly recommend Beckleys for all of your auto issues!
Good quality service with no surprise in costs. Always let’s us know what is needed and when.
I have taken my vehicles here for several years. They always do great work.
Beckley is Dope! They repaired my BMW z3 Cory and John were thorough in diagnostic and the repair to cost factors. Also take our Audi there with satisfaction the job will be done right the first time.
I am a long term customer. As stated in my previous review, Beckley's is the best shop in town. Corey and his team are great partners in the repair, service, and overall care of my vehicles. Highly Recommended. David Reese
Communication was top notch. I had a slight oil leak that needed fixed. The repair was done with no problems. Great service. I trust Beckley's to do a good job & get my issues fixed. Beckley's is the BEST!!
Have used Beckley for over 20 years for all my car repairs. They have always been professional, timely and the work has been done right the first time at a reasonable price
Excellent service! Recommended by a friend. First time customer, will be using them to service my vehicle again.
Great customer service. Diagnosed problem right away. Highly recommend!
The vehicle was towed in with no appointment for a coolant leak. They worked me in and finished sooner than expected at a lower cost than quoted elsewhere. Very courteous staff. I have found Rosie’s caretakers from now on ( red 2014 BMW 328d ). Thanks guys!
I thought the staff were very understanding that I wanted to only fix what was necessary to keep my 15 y/o car on the road. Much more trustworthy than the dealership IMO.
They fixed an oil leak at the timing chain covers at one repair and at the next repair replaced two engine sensors and the water pump. Since the car is an Audi the repairs weren't cheap but it seems to be working well. Hopefully we don't have to visit them again until our next oil change.
I was pleased with their service. It was a challenging project, but through persistent efforts, it was accomplished at the estimated costs.
The team at Beckley is super knowledgeable and answered all my questions about the repair. Definitely going to return there for my routine maintenance and any other needs.
Professional service and a very knowledgeable staff.
Reliable, fair prices for repairs.
Clean, well run and honest business.
Always a great experience with Beckley. They’ve kept our old Durango goin when it shouldn’t be. 😀
It’s always a pleasure doing business with Beckleys
So far the most honest repair shop ever found.
These guys know what they are doing and know the best possible way to help you at an affordable price.
Took my vehicle that had been misdiagnosed elsewhere, correctly diagnosed it, and had it fixed and back to me within 24 hours with constant updates. Car runs perfectly again, and they were much cheaper to boot. Thanks guys!
Great group of guys Thank you
Fantastic Service! Display A superior understanding of the vehicle
I've been using Beckley for years starting from when I had my VW. Even though I no longer have it I still go to them with my Kia and wife's Jeep. In fact my Kia has never been to the dealer for service, I've only taken it to Beckley.
Took my Audi to Beckley in April of this yr. for an oil leak, and left side tie rod, and now my car is leaking oil again, and I took it back in June and July because my steering had started doing the same thing again, but Mr, Beckley swore up and down it wasn't. Take my advice and never take ya car there, especially if you're black.
They replaced my water pump and thermostat in one day .
Great service, feel well treated, fair prices, honest .
They are the best! They provide the best consulting. My BMW X3 had the engine check light on and was on the limp mode. Jon and Chad figured out that the problem is with the timing chain and it needed replacement. It would cost me an arm and a leg. They searched online and found out that there is a recall from the…
Very good job on two cars and Tim was a very big help and s manner to thank you and I will be back and I will tell every one to go there
They are skilled, professional, and got my car serviced very quickly. Had a broken pipe replaced and an oil change. Thought the oil change was pretty pricey, but it's full synthetic and looked like they had to use an extra quart. All in all I'd recommend them to anyone for honesty and quality.
Driving from Chicago to Utah, stopped in Des Moines and noticed a small coolant leak under my car. Went to Beckley purely because they were the first shop that popped up on google and while they looked ridiculously busy they still managed to get my car in, diagnose the problem, order a new thermostat housing and…
We were very pleased with the professionalism they displayed as well as the friendly atmosphere. Will definitively be going there again!
They do great work! I had a water pump go out on my Z4 BMW. They said it would be a week to get to it but they got it done in 4 days..Thanks for the great service..
Replaced rod bearings, bolts, motor mounts and oil service. Team did a great job, finished on time and on budget - answered all my questions.
