Knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. The cleanest and most well maintained auto facility I have ever used. Cost and estimates were solid. Will continue to use them to service my Merc.
The biggest problem with Slimmers is that they are the best in town, and are always booked. If you suspect something is wrong with your car, call them early because everyone else is calling them too.
Theyve always been good to me! I have a bmw 550i and Marco does a great job. Wouldnt go anywhere else
Great to deal with, very professional! Having a child away from home, it’s a true blessing to have a place like Slimmers Automotive to trust to keep my child safe on the road. Thank you Slimmers you all are a TRUE blessing!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reliable mechanics you can always count on! Quick turnaround too 🌝
Ive been trying to do more of my own repairs but Ive taken my Prius here. Today I called in for to ask about some lights and codes showing up after I replaced my own front wheel bearing. They gave me some great advice and even looked up info for the codes I got and called me back with information. The fact that that they were so helpful even though I wasnt a paying customer right at that moment means a lot especially since I rely on my car for work and I definitely recommend Slimmers.
Wonderful, fast, honest and helpful service. Great people and I highly recommend them.
They have an online system that allows you to see specifically and individually what services they suggest, one of the better auto shops in lawrence
Love this place! Reasonable rates, fast service and super friendly owner and staff!
Fantastic service and very knowledgeable guys that explained everything very well. Will definitely use them again in the future.
Marcos, Ritchie, and the crew run a great operation. Fair and honest, they took time to explain the details of what was needed on my vehicle in terms that a layman could understand.A very cool point of sale service that immediately texts you a rundown of needed services with price quotes was a feature I’ve never seen and much appreciated. This will be my car service shop for life!
Slimmers Automotive has truly been an awesome place to take my vehicles.Joe has made sure every detail I have requested has been met. Their prices are reasonable and affordable even on a budget. The owner once even took me out on the highway when my vehicle was doing odd things. I truly think highly of them and their expertise.
Just had my daughters car worked on at Slimmers. Great professionalism, prompt phone updates from both owners (Richie and Marcos), super clean modern shop, and very reasonable price considering the amount of time troubleshooting the issue. Definitely a top notch shop and will recommend Slimmers to everyone.
A friend of mine--a mechanic--once said, if you feel like you could eat off a mechanics shop floor, thats the mechanic to use. Its been good advice. Slimmers has always been clean, fair and reliable, but their new shop has allowed them to step up their game. I can be a know-it-all (I get nervous about high bills), and they have talked me out of repairs ... and been right. Love these guys.
My sons car had a bad ECM. The guys at Slimmers talked me through several options to fix it and were very helpful. They tried to keep the cost as low as they could and still fix it. Great knowledgeable staff. They went above and beyond to help us. They are committed to being able to stand behind their work. Which means they want to fix it right the first time. Highly Recommend them for great service and quality work.
Great service they have options
Slimmers has done tons of work for myself and my family and we are always happy when leaving there. They make sure everything runs smoothly and if it doesnt they let you know what needs to happen.
So far so good. They did a great, detailed job of looking over my vehicle and identifying issues and potential issues.What makes this spot great is that they take the time to explain and often even show you pictures to educate and show you what is wrong with your vehicle. They know their stuff.Im taking my truck in for some major repairs shortly so Ill update later but so far this place is awesome and I would definitely bring your vehicle here if you want it to keep running and have excellent service.Update:. They did an excellent job fixing up my truck. Its been a couple of months and I called with a question and they gave me an educated answer. Everything is working great. I highly recommend.This is my favorite mechanic Ive ever had work on my vehicle.
These guys are THE BEST! We were on hour 13 of a 2 week cross country road trip when a rear wheel bearing on Suburu went out. We took a chance and took our vehicle into Slimmer’s hoping to get the repair done so we could get back on the road and onto our destination in Denver so we wouldn’t miss our friend’s documentary premier. The price was very fair, service was quick and excellent and we are beyond grateful! We are going to make the premier thanks to these automotive wizards! 💖
Well, I went there for taking of my rusted lisence plate screw and replacing with new ones. The service is good I have to say, but I think the one hour labor fee is pretty expensive compare even to auto dealers, guess what, it costs me over 100 dollars for that work, it is just the labor fee for one hour. For me, it is not a reasonable price at all.
Slimmers is awesome!! They saved me so much money when I brought my car in for a second opinion about the brakes. Trustworthy, nice, fairly priced. Highly recommended!
Ive been talking my vehicles to Pats for a lot longer than a decade. I cant think of anything bad to say about their service - his people take good care of you.
Richie & staff provide great service with honest advice and a top notch shop.
I like their food
They seem to be very honest and have been pleased with their work. Ive taken my cars here since 2001. They have even answered questions on the phone my son had about his car where he lives 3 hours away.
Excellent service - knowledgeable staff - local working mechanics own it - take care of the employees, everyones cars, & are supporters of community events.
Always efficient and kind.
Ive taken a couple vehicles to Slimmers over the past few years and Ive had just about perfect service from them every time. I finally found a mechanic that I can actually trust. Case in point, one of our vehicles sometimes is not driven 3,000 miles in a year. I brought it in since it had been 6 months or so since its last oil change and I thought it still needed to be done even though it had only been driven about 1,800 miles or so. Joe checked out the vehicle and told me not to bother changing it until it had been 3,000 miles - to do it now would be a waste of money. I suggested we maybe rotate the tires but he said we could wait on that too. Tell me another mechanic that turns down an opportunity to service your vehicle, even if the service isnt necessary??Thanks, Slimmers. Keep it up and youll have my business for a long time.
Conscientious. Honest. An official sponsor of Art Tougeau.What more do you need to know? Oh, yeah. Theyre efficient and experienced, too.
The serpentine belt on my car slipped off while driving to work Thanksgiving night. I had it towed to Slimmer Automotive in East Lawrence and then left my keys there. Went back this morning only to find out they were closed today. So there I was on a freezing, rainy morning after working all night without my car, my car key, and stupid me, the house key I had left on the key chain. Oh yeah, I was 40 miles from my house.Desperate, I called the owner Pat Slimmer at his home. This wonderful man came in on his holiday break to give me my keys and he put the belt back on my car. For $20. He made me cry. I can not recommend his shop and him as person more highly. Take your cars there, folks.
Great service
Without them, I wouldnt be able to keep my 1994 Volvo 940 on the road. They saved her life more than once! Always honest, always top-notch service!
Great service. Done well and at estimated price.
Great mechanics! Fair dealing and honest assessment of your vehicle.
I appreciate the fact that Slimmer Automotive always tries to save me money by repairing a part rather than taking the easy way out by throwing your money at replacement parts.Example: I had one bad spark plug wire on my daughters car. VW only sold them in sets of six for, if i remember correctly, well over $100. Slimmer Automotive repaired the faulty wire for a fraction of the cost to replace all the wires. This is just one example. I have seen them carry out this same type of skill set on many of my cars over the years. Slimmer Auto worked on my cars when I lived in Lawrence and now I drive in from Kansas City cause it is the ONLY place I trust to give me the best service, on time at an very reasonable price.
Honest very knowledgeable, gave me a good estimate upfront. Very good work, would use him again.
If you want dependable service from an honest professional mechanic at a fair price, please consider Slimmers Automotive. Slimmers Automotive has earned the 5 Stars in this review based on consistent work performed on multiple high mileage vehicles over many years. I had a 1994 Honda Civic with over 350,000 miles that ran great, until an accident required it to be salvaged. At present, I drive a 1999 Chevy Capri Station Wagon with 225,000 miles and a 2002 BMW 525i with 198,000 miles. These high mileage vehicles are serviced at Slimmers Automotive and they run great.The Internet is filled with disgruntled customers that have been wronged in some fashion, posting all the sorted details of why a business is terrible. I know of no organization that is 100% perfect, but I can say that any listed short-comings of Slimmers Automotive are truly the exception, not the norm.
This place is the best in town! Being a single mom, theres always a fear when you have car problems. They look out for their customers!
Fast service. Knowledgeable staff. Great rates. They wont pull your chain. Straight shooters.
Pat Slimmer is a very honest & reasonable mechanic! I live in Topeka, but will always drive to Lawrence when I need Pat to work on my car! 👍🏻
Ive been going here for years for my car repairs.They are always really nice to do business with and stand behind their work.
Great service. Friendly staff
Super nice folks!
Experts on all makes of cars. Repair done right first time.
Great guys. Dont overcharge.
Always honest. What more is there?
Exceptional service and clarity
