Engine repair service near Riverton, UT

Sean came to replace a fuel Pump (that we provided). He gave me a quote of $330 and 3hr job. After a couple hrs. he came to me and said he couldn't get the ring off even after buying a specialty part. He then told me he had to buy a new ring. Two weeks later he came back and after I think another 3 hrs. he charged me $169. He then said you have an exhaust leak to which I said I know. Then he said "It would've been nice to know it had a full tank of gas". Does he think since he was here the first time I went and filled it? A few days later we took to get the exhaust leak when they put it up on the rack they said "did someone work on this recently?" They showed me he didn't bolt on on of the tank straps, left 2 hoses unconnected and the ring was all buggered up and had a hole gas was leaking out. So it was clear to me he put on the old ring. When I called him he said "we can cover it under warranty and said " I put it on hand tight and I have video of it." I said I was under the van and had pictures which I sent him. He set an appt for Dec 23 haven't seen or heard him since. He seems like nice guy but I would never trust him to touch my cars ever again.

These guys are great! Sam and his crew are friendly and honest. Kapps has been servicing my vehicles for years.. They consistently diagnose and repair problems efficiently and always at a fraction of dealership pricing. From routine maintenance to complete overhaul, I would trust Kapps to get the job done right. Highly recommended!! Larry K. Highland, UT

Car was not running smooth and check engine light came on. The tech diagnosed the issue and got my car back on the road feeling new again. Was not as costly as I thought it would be. Great experience!

I'm from out of town and my brakes went out. They stayed late on a Saturday night and didn't charge an arm and a leg. Highly recommended! Barbara B.

They did an oil change on my wifes car and recommended a few things that needed to be fixed. The brakes were down but they were honest and said they would last until the next checkup but that I needed them. They showed me and I appreciate the honesty so I just had them do them. Highly recommend.

Amazing, honest and incredible work! I went in for a brake inspection and an oil change and upon completion they told me exactly what was wrong with my brakes, what it would cost to fix it, what the warranty would be and how long it would take. Having no coupons in hand I was planning on paying the full price for the services. Keith stepped in and told me that he would give me the coupon price for the services rendered and took care of the inspection charge cutting my bill by 3/4! I would very much recommend this place to anyone looking for good, quality, honest and reliable automotive work. -Kyle

As a women I feel intimidated when I have to have anything done on my car because I do not know anything about it. I was pleasantly surprised by the helpfulness of Dennis and Russ. They made me feel in control of the repair, showed me the part that was leaking and explained what it did. They did not talk down to me as a women and asked me if I had any other questions they could answer. I loved that they took me home since the car had to cool down before they could do the repair and the total bill was less then they had quoted. I have found a great new shop and will be telling all my friends about them. What a great family business. I got there just as they were doing some painting inside and they apologized for the stacks of equipment and parts outside while they finished painting during the night. When I went back the next day to pick up my car it looked so clean and bright inside. I was impressed that they had done so much in such a small amount of time. Susan Bailey

Dirve a BMW 525i - 2005 about 105K miles. just had my transmission serviced 01/20 (fluid replced etc. 0serviced by these guys, the owner not only had me in his office to get a quote on the price , needed 9 liters. BMW quoted 48 bucks/liter, he gave me a 20 % discount on the total price. I also had a few warning lights, that needed to be looked at, he brought me into the back plugged his computer , and showed me everything that came up. Reset a few minor lights, and no charge for that, Dealership ususally charges 85.00 to reset lights. Very good service, and I would definatelly do business again with them

Took my Subie in for an oil change. I usually always put synthetic oil in my car but he insisted on putting regular Valvoline in my car and charged me synthetic price for it. Will never go back.

Plowgian Auto receives 0 stars from me today. Today I give Plowgian Auto in Salt Lake City, UT 0 Stars, 0 Stars for Integrity, 0 Stars for their honesty, and accountability to this customer. It is my recommendation to not go to this poor excuse of a mechanic if you desire to have them stand behind their work. Behind their bright cheery smile lives deception, and cold heartedness. I give Plowgian a huge thumbs down !!! I was coming from Canada to Arizona, January 2018, and developed a head gasket leak. I was greeted by Jeff Plowgian with a bright and cheery smile and wonderful promises to repair my vehicle. The head gasket and head and exhaust manifold were replaced. A week later, in Sedona Arizona, my power steering went, my radiator blew and harmonic crankshaft balancer went. I called Plowgian to discuss this matter. Jeff told me of his great sorrow and would reimburse me my $3200, but shortly after spoke with his attorney and the price dropped to about $2000. I told him of the cost to repair the damage to my engine or the cost to replace the engine. He spoke to the Sedona Mechanic who clearly stated that faulty reassembly of the crankshaft key and pulley system caused this problem. My last conversation with Plowgian the price had gone down to $500 to replace the harmonica balancer. I asked about towing costs, car rentals and he said $500 was the best he could offer. Plowgians Insurance company sent their technician to my home to run an analysis on my truck. As soon as he looked at it, he saw the power steering unit was not aligned properly and stated that this was where the problem began ( an external examination ). He submitted this to Plowgians insurance company and their adjuster said his report stated the current problem was not due to faulty mechanics, but due to wear and tear. I have 360,000 miles on my Toyota Tacoma ( known to get over 600,000 miles). I told her that the technician took a video and told me the real cause and she got irate, because it contradicted her evaluation to offer no compensation. Common with insurance companies. I contacted an attorney to assist in a small claims suit. I towed my truck back to my home town and the mechanic there said the same thing, upon running a diagnostic. Plowgians faulty reassembly was the cause of the problem. We went to small claims court with signed documents from both mechanics and the case was lost, even though it was clearly stated that Plowgian was at fault. Prior to court, when I spoke with Plowgian they said if I could tow it in, they would be able to do their own diagnosis and gladly repair it, versus trusting the diagnosis of these other mechanics. I am about 600 miles away and it would be very expensive to transport my vehicle. I received no compensation for Plowgians damage to my vehicle, no reimbursement for towing costs, car rentals and any other inconvenience that I suffered through. For a month I did not have a vehicle and Plowgian did absolutely nothing. Today I give Plowgian 0 Stars, 0 Stars for Integrity, 0 Stars for their honesty, and accountability to this customer. It is my recommendation to not go to this poor excuse of a mechanic if you desire to have them stand behind their work. Behind their bright cheery smile lives deception, and cold heartedness. I give Plowgian a huge thumbs down!!!
