Very fair and responsive. Could have been faster, but I dropped a non-starting vehicle in their lap with no advance notice...

Call ahead if you can. Shamrock has worked on 3 different vehicles for me. most recently repalced wheel bearings on my explorer. rapid service, reasonable price, actually was about $75.00 LESS than i was quoted and expected. the difference in the handling of my vehicle was amazing and noticed within seconds of pulling. the owner (?) is knowledgable and willing to explain what is going on with your vehicle. He has my business and I'd suggest him to anyone I know

They always provide fast, courteous service that's reasonably priced. It's so nice to have a versatile mechanic you can trust. Darlene Austin

Decided to give tire king on Governors Ave another chance today since my rear tires clearly have a leak. Last time I went, they told me nothing was wrong. Then my uncle took it back two days later and they fixed the problem for him. Today, they tried to tell me again that there wasn't anything wrong with the rear passenger but the drivers side needed a new valve stem, and walked away without telling me if they'd fix any of it. The owner came out and I asked what they were doing and he told me that his brother had already talked to me. I explained the situation with my previous visit and told them that if they weren't going to fix both, that I'd just like my car back and that I didn't want to spend any money there. He told me (and my 1 year old daughter) " I never want to see you again. Get the fuck out" So, I go to leave and see him in the parking lot, and confirm that he is the owner and I said "well that's a real shame" so he called me a bitch and told me to "go wreck" I never raised my voice, or lost my temper and this is how I was treated with my baby in my arms! When my dad called back to tell him he didn't appreciate how I was treated, he informed us that none of our family would ever be allowed there again.

Service was prompt and great price. What I appreciated most was that they did not try to upsell me on extra unnecessary parts. I had been going to Jiffy Lube which is similar price but they ALWAYS get you before you leave saying your brakes need changing when they are fine or last time they tried to get me for $250 saying I need a new cabin filter which is crap?! R&M is a small shop, but they get what you need done and honest about it.

Sam at first was extremely kind. I later realized that was only to reel me in. There was still issues with my truck after they fixed it . I called Sam he made me wait a solid week until he looked at it again , hE said they found nothing wrong with it. I called him again 3 days later still complaining there’s something wrong with my truck. He made me wait another week to look at it, charged me again. To say they found nothing wrong it after They drove it four times. 1.5 weeks later I called Sam from the Highway, basically broke down. I was only able to literally drive under 5 mph. I told him my truck was smoking and was making the same noise I’ve been complaining about. I explained to him the smell that was coming from my truck along with where the smoke was coming from. How amazing Sam knew exactly what the problem was, yet he’s been telling me for weeks nothing was wrong with my truck. The problem was my brake was stuck and hanging down, the truck got so hot it melted my calibers etc Sam was charging me over $1300 to fix it. I asked him if he could take some money off beings though I had my truck in there two more times AFTER they fixed it complaining about the way it was driving and the noise it was making. He refused!! Don’t trust them! Their crooks!!! I called another mechanic shop. Explained what needed to be fixed according to Kirkwood auto. My truck was towed from there and towed to Sevy’s auto who fixed it for under $800.00 Don’t trust Kirkwood auto they are crooks. I asked for the old parts they fixed and they said they couldn’t find them. Yea sure. Like I believed that

Very friendly and helpful people. They did a good job of the repair to my car. There was an issue with one of the parts they used and handled it great fixed it quickly without and problem. -Matt Owens
