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.
Beckley is always great!
Great customer service. Explained issues and took care of them. Will definitely use them again.
Very trustworthy and transparent. Reasonable prices based on wear, not arbitrary " service interval" We will continue to use them for all our out of coverage needs
Always excellent service!
I recently purchased a used Audi and brought my vehicle in for inspection and a check engine light. They did a thorough inspection and charged me a fair price. They were able to point out some needed repairs and their prices are very reasonable. Staff is very friendly and kept me informed the entire time.
Excellent experience again. These folks know what they are doing. New brakes and rotors and a very fair price. I trust their advice and they deliver the service.
I am a forty-five year customer of BECKLEY Automotive Services. I have been consistently well-served, educated, and overall well-treated for the service on my mostly German cars, but a Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jaguar CJ6 tossed in along the way. The Beckley team is constantly updating their technology, mechanics’…
Jon’s team successfully replaced the broken hood opening cable in my 2008 A8L. 195,000 miles and still my favorite car ever. Thanks Beckley’s
Every time I leave Beckley I feel like I was treated fairly. Unlike dealer and other independent service centers where I feel like I have been fleeced.
Additional service at Beckley Automotive. Service was spot on, and at the price quoted. Will definitely be back as needed for additional maintenance and any repairs. Beckley Automotive is awesome!
Super nice, helpful guys who are looking out for your best interests. Comfy waiting area. Thought I had received a courtesy car wash and vacuum last year, but in any case unfortunately didn’t get that nicety this year.
Excellent service as usual. John was very helpful in keeping my bill down when other issues came up.
Highly recommend! Always do quality work. Excellent service and communication with scheduling and repair updates.
Very good communication and a fast service! will 100% recommend!
Gentlemen were very kind & professional. Will continue to use them for servicing!
Very thorough inspection of my vehicle with very clear, helpful prioritized recommendations. Clear updates along the way on timing. Volkswagen had previously quoted me $1200+ to fix a microphone issue I was having (telling me I needed to order a new part entirely). Beckley found the microphone was unplugged and got…
I had the most seamless experience with a pre-purchase inspection! I highly recommend this shop!
Outstanding expertise and customer service!
Great service every time
Took for a milage inspection on my Jetta, they promptly did the service and give me the what was needed. Will come back more times.
Totally great!!
Took my new to me (low mileage 2009) Audi for an inspection and oil change. Beckley services were quick and great people to work with. I’ll definitely continue working with them for future needs.
Very friendly and professional, I feel when I leave that I don't have any worries.
Beckley is always courteous, prompt, and trustworthy. I'm glad to do business with them.
Always great service (best on town for bmw) been going to beckley since 2011. Wont trust my car with anyone else.
I would consistently recommend using Beckley for your car service ad repair, they are always helpful with great advice,
Buckley Automotive always provides me with excellent service. My oil change and transmission work was completed as stated and on time. Since my wife had surgery and unable to drive Beckley brought me home and picked me up when my car was completed. They have always been the best worry free experience
Overall good experience with Beckley auto. Able to drop off and pick up after hours. Tim made sure to call and advise on repairs needed, they were very thorough and honest when issue wasn't immediately fixed. They weren't able to fix a logic issue with the TCM but informed me about the TSB that the dealership could…
The Beckley team are fantastic! They take care in explaining options on what services needs to be done and their prices are very good. Best of all I never feel that I’m being upsold on whatever the flavour of the month is (which is how it can feel at dealership service groups). This is the only place we take our cars!
Very good customer service!
Excellent technicians. Will definitely use Beckley Auto Services again.
Best euro service in the metro.
I trust them working on my Porsche. They have the skills, tools, and expertise to make quality service and repairs in a timely manner and reasonable cost. Highly recommended for any and all European automobiles.
Been going there for decades.Terrific in every way.
Great service, professional and much cheaper than the dealership. Will be taking my car back in the future.
Polite staff, prompt service, detailed and reasonably priced billing statement.They were recommended to me, and I will also refer Beckley Automotive to others.
Top quality repair and maintenance at very reasonable prices. On time and done correctly the first time. Highly recommend them for all Mercedes vehicles.
These guys did a great job on my 05’ LR3. I was having an issue with my fuel tank. I couldn’t put more than 1/2gal in at a time before the pump would shut off. They were able to figure out and fix the problem on a great timeframe. I will continue to use Beckley Automotive for all my River needs from here on out.
Professional, competent, courteous, and accommodating
Excellent. Very courteous and professional. All I know is that I love my “green machine” and that they know how to service it:)
