I'll tell you one thing. This is the place to go. To get your oil changed all the way up to get an AC compressor fixed, that's reliable. And don't cost an arm and a leg. Anytime something is wrong with my truck.I park it right in front of his shop haha.

Came here because my car was sputtering…they put a new starter in for 600$…car still sputtered and didn’t start. Took it to a different place and it was just a bad battery. Got it fixed for 130$. They didn’t give my money back and lied to me. Don’t come here if you want your car fixed and don’t wanna waste your money 👍

I was in town from Colorado visiting family and as luck has it my car started to overheat quickly. In a panic and knowing I had to make it back home by the weekend I quickly went from shop to shop looking for quotes and turn around time. Turns out my thermostat housing was busted and quickly fading. I had multiple shops quote me almost a $1000 to fix it. I happened to stumble across Kwik Start and right from the start the customer service was thru the roof, they got my car in examined what the issue was and confirmed it was the thermostat housing. Within 3 hours my car was fixed correctly and the price was damn near half what the other shops were gauging me for. I couldn’t be more grateful for the gentleman at the shop for there hard work and quick turn around. I may not live in Amarillo but I will be ranting and raving to everyone whoever comes out this way to give there business to Kwik Start . An if you happen to reside in Amarillo there should be no other place you look to or go to for your car repairs and upkeep. I can’t thank y’all enough for the hospitality and amazing work. If I could do more than 5 stars I definitely would.

🚨 WARNING: Do Not Trust Kwick Start! 🚨 I took my car to Kwick Start on December 26th due to engine trouble, and it has been nothing but a nightmare since. If you value honesty, transparency, and competent service—STAY AWAY from this shop! 🚗 Broken Promises & Endless Delays After diagnosing my car, Eddie told me my engine needed to be replaced. He quoted me $3,200 for an engine with only 20K miles, and I gave him the green light to proceed. That’s where the lies began. First, he never ordered the engine because he claimed he was “waiting for my approval” (which I had already given). Then, week after week, the engine was supposedly in a different city—Wichita Falls, Dallas, Little Rock—always with a new excuse. Every time I called for an update, I got vague responses, false promises, and more delays. 🛑 Bait-and-Switch Engine Swap Finally, after a month of waiting, I picked up my car on January 27th, only to find out: ✅ I was charged for an engine with 20K miles ❌ But they couldn’t prove that’s what they installed ❌ Eddie kept changing his story—first the engine had 67K miles, then 65K, then “60-something” ❌ He had zero documentation of the installed engine’s mileage or serial number I even called the salvage yard that allegedly supplied the engine, but they wouldn’t tell me anything because Eddie was the one who bought it. 🚨 Suspicious Engine Issues & Scamming Customers From the moment I drove off, the car felt worse than before: 🔴 Grinding noises 🔴 Struggles with acceleration 🔴 Overheating smells 🔴 Burning oil 🔴 White smoke—the same issue that caused my original engine to fail When I took it back, Eddie barely looked at it, claimed it was “perfect,” and dismissed all my concerns. When I pushed for answers, he hung up on me! ⚠️ Ladies, Beware! If you’re a woman, prepare to be talked down to, dismissed, and treated like you don’t know anything about cars. Eddie refused to give me straight answers, avoided my questions, and treated me like I was stupid for wanting proof of the work done. 💰 The Final Cost of Kwick Start’s Lies • $3,200 for an engine that I can’t verify • $120 in extra fees just to make my payment • A car that still doesn’t run right and is now at the dealership for further repairs ❌ FINAL WARNING: AVOID THIS SHOP! I wouldn’t trust these guys to change my windshield wipers, let alone replace an engine. If you must use them, demand documentation and watch the entire repair process yourself—otherwise, you might get scammed just like I did.

My dad has told me to always to go here if I’m having trouble, I’ve been here a couple times and they’ve always had great service. This last Wednesday I took my Chevy Cruze in to get an “oil leak” checked out. Turns out everything is leaking, and it’s not worth replacing. I didn’t catch his name because I was very upset I had to get a new car at this point. But you know the place is honest when even the mechanic says to not work on the car. Bottom line, this place is very honest, and Chevy Cruzes suck. Don’t get one. 10/10 recommend from this time and the other couple times 😭 I am going to buy a new car today and am still mad that my car didn’t even make it to 110k miles. Wtaf.

There's nothing like feeling good about the place you count on to take care of your vehicle. I have confidence in Kwik Start and won't go anywhere else.

Hands down best automotive repair place in town. Been going here for years and I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else! They are fast, honest, and definitely the most affordable.

Claudia and Eddie Mercer are the most trusted, honest, and kind proprietors in Amarillo with their Kwik Start oil & lube automotive shop. While we waited the final minute or two during their quick service, another woman came in while my wife and I were talking with Claudia and Eddie was working on our car. The other customer was saying how honest she thinks he is. Especially as a woman she said how much she appreciates Eddie after being charged too much at other places. They are next to Benjamin's Donuts & Bakery on Bell Street, and take great care of their customers.

This place sucks! The owner will tell you one thing and then replace something completely unnecessary while still charging a crazy amount. They never test drove the vehicle before or after completing their work and refused to actually fix the problem. They won't refund my money. I will never be back.

Started taking my car here a few years ago and wouldn’t go anywhere else! The owner is very honest and they know what they’re doing. Not only have I found them to be the cheapest oil change place in town, but they get you in and out quickly. 100% recommend these guys for any/all car needs!

Eddy is 100% the best mechanic in Amarillo!! He is honest and so so giving. I have witnessed so many good deeds done by him. Not to mention on Wednesday’s he has “Ladies Day” which entails a $5 discount on oil changes to show his appreciation for all the women out there! If you don’t know where to get your oil changed, battery replaced, or any other auto work done; this your place! Been taking my car here since I got my license and have nothing but good things to say:)

I was experiencing shaking in my truck every time I hit the brakes. Eddie diagnosed the issue right away and had me in and out the same day. I only wish I had brought it in sooner instead of dealing with the problem for six months. Great service and quick turnaround — highly recommend!
