Ethical and highly competent. Pricing is competitive and they won't push you into a repair until it is necessary.
Consistent professional service every time.
Very professional! Very honest on recommendations and expected costs. They make you feel like they are servicing their own vehicle in terms of care provided. Thank you!!!!
They did an inspection and test drive of my car post-buy for only $70, great service done quickly. As long as they're always this good to me, I'll stick with Beckley for life.
When my car battery died the day before I had planned a significant road trip, they worked me in so that I could get a replacement battery quickly.
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…
First time we visited Beckley and we were 100% satisfied. Mike Lawlor was our Service Advisor and answered all my questions. TY!
We purchased a 19 year old BMW about 8 months ago and recently had some service lights come on. Beckley Automotive was able to get us in quickly and inspect the car beyond just the service lights. They provided service recommendations, along with pricing options that allowed us to easily taylor our expenditure. They…
Enjoyed the communication and efforts to diagnose and rectify complex problems based on year and model. Love that they are good with import makes!
Always thorough and honest. Never tries to sell me services or products that I do not need. Prices are very reasonable and service is fast.
Very professional and practical. Trust them implicitly with my BMW and have for years! And, they are all very nice to someone who dosent speak car😉🤣
As always great people and great service. We have had five cars maintained by Beckley Automotive and could not have been happier. Thank you Beckley Automotive.
We had a great experience. We wanted a general inspection to see whether we were looking at a bunch of major expenses on an older car we own. They gave me great feedback and really gave me peace of mind to continue driving the car. They also did a little extra diagnostics on the air conditioner, which I…
If I could give more than five stars I would. Professional staff and unbeatable service! They take the time to explain what is going on, provide photos, they are proactive about maintenance that is on the horizon. They consistently go above and beyond and they have the highest level of honesty and integrity. Beckley…
This is the best place I have ever worked with for car maintenance and repair. Very trustworthy, timely and reasonable.
Beckley's has been working on my European and Japanese cars for many years. They are always willing to tell you what they will and won't work on when the scope of the job may require service by the dealer. Their prices are fair and the facility is always clean and very professionally run.
We have been going to Beckley for more than 8 years and they continue to provide us with professional and reliable service each visit. They are a great group that is very trustworthy.
While not the least expensive. They are certainly the most ethical and knowledgeable. I always feel treated valued.
dropped off at 9:30 am finished by 2pm
Hired them for a pre-sale inspection. They covered everything a prospective buyer would need. The cost was low and the report was thorough.
