Dishonest slide of hand. I set up a appointment and dropped my car off the night before left key in box. Micah called and asked whats my car doing there? I said I talked to you three days earlier and setup a appointment for a estimate. He said he didnt have time but would get to it by end of the week. I called back three days later to check if estimate was finished micah said they just started replacing parts. I asked what is a estimate for if you are just going to start working on it anyway? he had no answer. They put broken tie rod boots on when the tie rods came with new ones. I called he said hed charge me to put them on. I asked dont they go on with the tie rods?.. he said yeah but would have to wait 3 weeks before they have time to put them on. I wouldnt be taking it back for them to put them on. They dont make a zit on a real mechanics rear. Unprofessional. SCAM ARTISTS.

Ive had to take my car in twice recently and I was incredibly pleased with my service both times. They gave me updates and didnt make me feel like they were making things up I need fixed like some places do. Doug explained what he did and why he did it in a clear way that I understood, which I appreciated. Every interaction Ive had with the employees have felt more like talking to a real human and less like a cog in a machine. Ill definitely keep going here.

Micah was super professional and fast! He was honesty & upfront with what he thought was the problem. He was well ahead of the time and cheaper then his estimate, thank you Micah, you’re a Godsend!

These guys are the best of the best! Some places try to fix what aint broken, and charge you an arm and a leg for it. These guys assess your problems, inform you of your options, and get you back on the road fast as lightning. Theyre the only place that works on my cars.

My first time going to Doug’s. I heard about them from a friend of mine. Wow! I have found my new go-to car place. Micah was so patient and helpful, even was trying to squeeze me in quickly because I drive a lot for work and need my car. Made the experience stress free and dare I say it, even enjoyable!

First time customer after a referral and glad I took daughter’s car there for a “cylinder miss” error code and subsequent tune up. Dropped it off at 1:00 and finished by closing time despite trouble finding a plug wire set and having to remove the intake in order to reach the back spark plugs. Great first visit! I’ll be back

Review №18

They wouldnt put on a part I brought. Kept stressing they couldnt warranty it. I told them the place I bought it from already warranties it. Felt like they were trying to make me get more repairs than I wanted - to make me spend more money. Good thing I know better. Had to pay a $31 assessment fee that I didnt want. Not going back

Weve been using Dougs for about three years; they work on all our family cars. Timing belt & water pump, alignments, brakes, exhaust, radiator...theyve done something in almost every area and weve never been disappointed. A knowledgeable, honest mechanic seems to be a rarity these days, so its really nice to have found one. Doug, Micah and the crew are a pleasure to deal with.

Review №21

Excellent, honest, down-to-earth guys! Both times Ive been in theyve been direct, helpful, and completely fair. Amazing customer service, Doug was able to sneak me in despite being a man down with a busy day already, and quickly fixed a SNAFU of my own creation which another shop in town couldnt/wouldnt deal with, at a VERY fair price and without trying to sell me parts I didnt need! These guys saved me about $1,000 and had the repair done in no time at all! One of the best experiences as a customer Ive had in any business for years. If you need something looked at or are shopping a repair, Definitely keep these guys at the top of your list!

These guys go ABOVE and BEYOND. Absolutely the best experience I have ever had with a auto shop. Mike is such a nice person, a really good guy. With my daughter attending school out of state, it really sets my mind at ease knowing that if something goes wrong - and it has- that my daughters car is in great hands with these guys. Highly recommend!!!

The repair service is not only one the most straightforward about cost and where you are spending money, but the family ran atmosphere makes it less intimidating to ask questions and really learn about the process that they take your vehicle through. highly recommend.

Dougs Automotive is a great auto mechanic/shop. I am new to Lawrence and had an emergency situation with my car. I showed up at the shop at 8am on Monday and they were able to work on my car while servicing their appointments. The work was done efficiently and the cost was very reasonable. Great customer service by Mike and his crew! They have definitely found another customer and will certainly be a referral in the future. Thanks, Dougs Automotive!

Doug’s Automotive did a great job on my granddaughters older Lexus. I had gone to visit her at KU and had her car towed to Doug (because of his great reviews), before I left. He put a starter in, changed the oil and did a safety check for us. My husband and I are 45 year car dealers in Florida with a mechanic on staff. We very much appreciated Doug’s courtesy, honesty, and promptness in completing the repair! Thank you Doug!

Dougs Automotive & Alignments offers great HONEST customer service, your vehicle will be throughly inspected and everyone is extremely knowledgeable as theyve all been doing this for years. You can trust they wont sell you unnecessary parts. Doug has been doing alignments for 20+ years and Service Manager Micah is always prompt and helpful. Good automotive shops can be hard to come by nowadays, but you can rely on them to get ya taken care of!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!If you are looking at reviews to see if you can trust these guys with your vehicle? Search no longer. You found the right place. Ive been everywhere in lawrence for my vehicle and I couldnt find nor trust anyone to help me and work with me with my vehicle. Until I brought it to The Staff at Dougs Automotive. Great prices and great customer service. They will work with you to insure you get a fair price for your vehicle. All college students that are having trouble trusting places with you and your vehicle, dont worry about getting messed over. Honest shop, wish more shops were like these guys. Thank you Staff members and Owner of Dougs Automotive. I will be coming here for now on with my car.

What a blessing to have an auto repair shop that is honest and will go above and beyond. Took my car in with a bad alternator this morning. They worked it into their busy schedule, but the new part ordered was defective. Micah & Trent stayed after closing time to get the part reordered, installed and my vehicle back on the road for the weekend. Cant say enough about Doug & his crew. Great customer service guys!

Review №34

Took three times the book time to do my alignment. I waited there for a collective of three hours over two days and they never even finished the job. Said it was too much of a headache even tho the first day was partially spent working on other cars while my job should have been getting done. I had to tell the tech how to actually make adjustments on my car because they were so confused. Would not recommend. Wasted two days and hours of my time and I still need an alignment. Also Doug can suck my gym socks.

I was in town to help my daughter deal with her own car issues. Late Friday afternoon my own car started having issues - dashboard warning lights coming on like a Christmas tree. Stopped by a couple of places that didnt have time or couldnt help. 4:30 on Friday I roll into Dougs. He was the epitome of customer service. He even helped facilitate the repair under warranty. I learned that hes been in Lawrence for many years. A stable source for reliable work. A definite step toward restoring my faith in people.

Review №36

Steve K.Some twenty years ago i had a vehicle notorious for busted exhaust manifold bolts. I made the horrible mistake of taking it to Midas and they actually made the problem worse. I finally ate my $600 and took it to Dougs. There it was repaired properly, new studs inserted(not bolts jammed in holes) and for half the cost Midas charged to destroy it!!! Needless to say theyve seen our vehicles since, suggesting a brake job which subsequently saved the car and my life when a huge buck deer stepped out on the highway at four in the morning one week later. More than once theyve sent me on my way when something was minor with no charge. Have never felt taken for any of the dozens of repairs. This shop is the epitome of trustworthy automotive repair shops in my experience. And I might add, my mom went there too, a high recommendation, no?

Mike and Doug are the best personalities ever. I have been doing business with Doug even before Mike and Doug is knowledgeable and caring. I was a female divorces and not once did Doug not solve problems with my vehicle. They still do that with our 2 vehicles. Most of all cheers for my trying the cruise control on big red that had not worked &yeah it was great! They will never disappoint you!

This is type of guy you look for when youre looking for a new mechanic or just moved to a city. The type of guys that are honest and more knowledgeable than anybody else and could get away with charging more because of it yet they dont. I will be back and will only refer to people to Doug.

I brought a 2015 Toyota Yaris to be inspected before purchasing, and not only did they inspect it but Mike even took the time to show me two items they found during the inspection after the shop closed. I would give this shop 10 stars if I could. Kind employees and fair prices.

I cannot say how awesome Dougs Automotive has been to me! I have had them work on my Porsche 944 multiple times and I could not have been happier! Every time it needs a repair (which is quite often), I trust Dougs to bring it back to working order. Their prices are excellent and the guys working there are very helpful in diagnosing any issues with the car. I have referred my friends to Dougs and will continue to do so! A professonal business with professional people.

Review №52

This is by far the best automotive place I have ever been to. The maintenance fee for my car was quoted around $2000-$3000 at other two places. At Dougs they did it at around one fourth of that cost.Usually, they are quite busy so, you might have to wait a few days after making an appointment. So, plan ahead.
