After going there a few years, Ive decided to move on. Over charges by the mechanic is more typical than not. I shouldn't have to beg a mechanic to work on my car, and do it right.

Skeeter’s is amazing. They’re so honest, efficient, and they’ll give you a loaner car if you need one. I highly recommend them!

TRUSTWORTHY AND RELIABLE SERVICE WITH A SMILE. WHEN I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH OF THE HIGH PRESSURE SALES PITCHES AND FEAR TACTICS I FOUND AT OTHER SHOPS, I FOLLOWED A FRIENDS ADVICE AND TOOK MY CAR TO SKEETERS. I WAS GREETED BY THE OWNER WITH A SMILE AND SHE QUICKLY HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT MY CAR, DETAIL WHAT WAS WRONG, AND RECOMMENDED EXACTLY WHAT WAS NEEDED TO KEEP ME DRIVING SAFE. SHE GAVE ME ALL THE INFORMATION I NEEDED, OFFERED HER ADVICE, AND ALLOWED ME TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. I WAS THEN GIVEN A FAR LOWER QUOTE FOR SERVICES THAN I GOT AT SEVERAL OTHER GARAGES AND SINCE HAVING THE WORK DONE I'M HAPPY TO SAY MY CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT! I DON'T OFTEN WRITE REVIEWS BUT WHEN I DO IT'S FOR THOSE WHO STAND OUT HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST. SKEETERS DEFINITELY DOES THAT, AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WHO VALUES QUALITY SERVICE AT A FAIR PRICE.

Skeeter's is a one of a kind auto fix it shop. I have had oil changes, oil pumps replaced and axle's fixed and they always have done a fantastic job.

these guys were really kind and professional. they kept us up to date and rather than bait and switch like a lot of auto repair places do, they kept their word on the pricing and labor. also, rather than tell us something really expensive needed to be replaced, they were honest and told us that wasnt the thing that needed fixing, but a different less expensive and easier to fix part that sometimes causes the same symptoms, unlike the other mechanics place we had gone to who wanted to replace the most pricey thing in the car! very awesome place. have my businiess for life.

I used this place to get my car fixed. And they did a fantastic job. Absolutely no complaints. I actually refer this place if asked. And the lady in the office(I believe she is the owner) is extremely nice and helpful. I definitely recommend this place.

Beware of this shop. They have numerous complaints open with the bureau of automotive repair. The owner kaycee will play the role of a nice old lady, than lie about prices, and recommend repairs you don't need. Look up the shop with the BAR before doing any serious repairs here.

My car wouldn't start in the morning so I called a few places to see if they could do anything. When I called Skeeters I spoke to Kaycee and she was very helpful. She offered to call a tow truck to my house to take my car in. By the time I got to the shop, they had already started troubleshooting the problem. Kaycee told me the problem was the starter and she had the part ordered right away. She also told me that they did an overall inspection of my car and even had some recommendations, and she was not pushy at all like the other shops I've been to. In the end, they ended up fixing the problem (the starter), had the transmission oil changed (which I had never done before ....... ooops), they offered to wash my car and on top of that they even did a free oil change!! The customer service Kaycee and the rest of the employees provided was superb. I just felt the professionalism Skeeters offers is praiseworthy. I am not going anywhere else EVER again!

I've been a customer at Skeeters for years and take my truck in regularly for tuneups and oil changes, etc. I sometimes get a more complicated problem and they always do the repairs quickly and at a fair price. They kept me informed about the progress and delivered my truck on time at my office, which is very convenient. I highly recommend this place- they do quality repairs and the service is excellent.

Trustworthy and reliable service! Very professional, honest and reasonable price! Kaycee and her staffs are very kind and welcoming! Kaycee told me she has been in the same location for 40years. I think that explains more than enough how she runs her business!

This review is long overdue! I love my SUV and when the engine went out I was so sad. I did not want a new car, really! We had no car payments and it felt good. We took it to Skeeters and yes, it needed a rebuilt engine. I have heard of how expensive they were and how horrible the experience is. Kaycee did everything she could to fix my car before it did come down to a new engine. It was going to take time to do it but she offered us a loaner, not a rental. She gave up a free car until mine was done. The price of a rebuilt could cost $$$, but not Skeeters. It was so reasonable I was shocked. It was finally done and it did have a hiccup. It was not always catching and would stall. She would take it back, give me a loaner and go at it again. I think it happened a couple times but Kaycee always made sure it was taken care of and NEVER charged another penny. I know my situation is different and needed more attention but, I didn't want to let go of my old SUV. Probably should have but, it has been at least 3 years and it is still running. I am thankful to the honesty and hard work that Skeeters did. They keep on it until they finish the job RIGHT! Not half boot it like so many auto repair shops do and charge you if they even put a finger on your vehicle. Skeeters is honest, if it doesn't really have to be done, they will tell you, not make up something to dig deep in your pockets. Trust me, after these past few years, still running, no problem. No car payment yet! I love that feeling! Thank you.

My first time to Skeeter's Auto. Kaycee and her fine staff were amazing. They offer rides to and from home or office. Which is wonderful. I thought it was time to have my back break pads replaced. They told me it was not necessary as I had 40% left on the back pads. Saved me $. I had my oil change, tires rotated and air filter replaced at a reasonable price and Kaycee did not charge me for rotating the tires. Wow!!! From start to finished it was great. I will be back along with the rest of my family for their car repairs and maintenance.

I have used Skeeters Auto Repair when needed since 1992. For many years they took care of the several Ford Taurus Wagons that I had over the years. They were very good at the repairs. And have never tried to up sell me or suggest work my vehicles have not needed. Then last year I needed a new Station Wagon and found that Mercedes was an excellent choice. But I hesitated because I was told that Mercedes is expensive to repair. I wound up buying a 20-year-old Mercedes wagon. Along the way I learned that Skeeters identifies Mercedes and other European cars as some that they specialize in. So, I had Skeeters evaluate a 2001 Merc. I was considering buying. They gave me a thorough assessment and identified the deferred maintenance that would be needed. The estimated cost of the repairs was about $4, 500. Kaycee, the owner, even helped me identify the things that should be done right away and other things that could be done over the next few years to make the cost more manageable On 2001 car, I decided to wait. Then I found a 2004 Merc. that looked like a very good prospect, but it was a hundred miles away. So I had that one assessed by a repair company in the town where I was buying it. There were a few things needed on that car. I had Skeeters do a couple of little repairs, and had a couple of things fixed by a European car repair shop recommended by a friend. Most recently, I had a check engine light that was problematic and came back on a couple of times after repairs were done. The successful fix was by Skeeters when they replaced an MAF Sensor that had already been replaced by someone else. That fixed the problem and they only charged me a half hour labor for the repair above the cost I had already paid for the new part. I was so pleased at how economical it was. I will happily go back for future work. Skeeter's may even may have a loaner car for you to use while your car is being repaired.

I have been getting my 2004 Chrysler repaired at Skeeter's Auto for over seven years and I am very satisfied with the quality of their work and service. Kaycee is very honest and easy to work with and they have done a variety of work on my car and done it all very well.

I have been a customer of Skeeter's Auto Repair for over 20 years. The owner, Kaycee Howell, is honest and fair. She has never tried to up sell me or suggest work my vehicles have not needed. They have worked on my 2000 Isuzu Amigo, 2006 Ford Ranger, 2013 Fiat 500e, and 2016 Fiat 500e. In addition, friends I have referred have been pleased with the same level of service I received. My only regret is my wife and I have moved to North Carolina which is a bit far to travel for service. Nonetheless, the friendship we have developed will always stay strong!!!.

Great experience at Skeeter’s Auto Repair. Kaycee was absolutely the best. She was so kind, responsive, and professional. They got us in and out quickly and were completely honest and upfront about everything. I'm really thankful we found them. Kaycee made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend them and will definitely be coming back any time we have car issues.

I brought in my car for some scratches on my left hand side door. The customer service was great, friendly and respectful. I was quoted an amount and paid via zelle, then said my car would be ready in 3 days or so. Things were great until I arrived and was told they had to remove the door and do additional fixes that would cost an additional $300. I wasn't called nor let know ahead of time which was really frustrating. I was in an accident that was not my fault, and the other party paid out of pocket. Therefore, I had to pay the extra $300 out of my own pocket because of the misquote. It was great work and service, but beyond frustrating to dish out my own $300 without my knowledge or consent.

I have taken both of my Mercedes to this location for awhile now and have always received good customer service and fair pricing. I had to replace an auxiliary battery in one of my cars and it was half of what I was quoted at a shop nearby. Kaycee’s pricing seems fair and I have never had any problem getting my repairs done within the window promised.
