I have been very impressed with the quality of service, professionalism and integrity of this establishment. Brian is awesome! He is honest and straightforward and lets you know whats really going on with your vehicle. I dont know a lot of people around here, but the ones I do, I definitely recommend these guys.
Very honest and fair mechanics. Great customer service. They squeezed me in last minute to replace two belts. I highly recommend this place over everywhere else because I was being quoted at an arm, leg, and kidney at every mechanic shop in Ontario and around.
Whether youre traveling through like I am or live here you ABSOLUTELY should use Cone Automotive for your car and truck repair needs. If I could give 10 stars I would! Brian and his wife are the kindest people. When they learned I was on my way south to VA and SC they prioritized my repair and got it done in ONE afternoon at a super reasonable price! I couldnt be happier or more grateful! Thank you so much!
Very reliable and honest. Great place for vehicle repairs.
My husband is so happy to have his Expedition back and finally working! After 2 months and 2 other mechanics trying to fix it Cone’s got it right the first time, it took them 1 business day to do it, & it was way cheaper then what we paid the others to unfortunately not fix anything!Thank You so much for you good honest & fair priced work. My Husband is so happy he found you guys!
Not the place to go! When you call the lady seems overworked by just your call. She told me all the problems they are having like my vehicle was a HUGE inconvenience! This is the second time I have tried to get my vehicle fixed with them but they seem to not want to work with insurance. I was recommended to this place but now I am hearing they used ro be great and now they just dont seem to like to do the work they offer. No one seems happy to work here and she said they are trying to hire people because everyone quit. Sounds like they need to regroup if they want to stay in business.
I cannot say enough good things about the team at Cone Automotive. We were passing through Ontario in our RV, blew a belt, and needed to find a quick repair. By fate, we drove into Cone Automotive and they were able to fix our belt in a matter of hours, and even were able to fix an A/C problem we had been dealing with as a bonus! They were friendly, (and especially gracious with our toddler) and very reasonably priced! They easily could have taken advantage of us being in a bind, but instead took wonderful care. Bless you and your business!
Cones is the beat mechanic around by far! So honest and do a great job. I will always recomend them and continue to do all my buisness with them.6/30/21 UPDATE!!!! My daughter had no air conditioner and once again they hit it out of the park! It was 105 and they fixed it right away! They are a true blessing to the valley and such good caring people. Thank you sooooo much and you will be our trusted mechanic forever!!!!
I was recently helping my daughter move from Washington state to las vegas and had car troubles. We went to Cones. They were short staffed and over booked but they took the time to find us a garage that could work us in. We were back in the road in a few hours and got my gal moved.
Being out of town and developing a leaky radiator while towing our fifth wheel trailer was a bit stressful. But a simple phone call put us at ease.Our radiator replacement was done quickly and reasonably priced. With Brian’s advice (the owner), we chose the best choice radiator for our needs. There is no wonder why they are busy because many locals use them for repairs and general maintenance.We were treated like we were long time friends. Thanks a bunch guys! By the way, they love chocolate milk 😎
After 2 different Idaho automotive repair places charged but didnt really fix my vehicle, Cone automotive in Ontario Or. repaired and properly fixed my Expedition. Unlike others I dealt with, they were fair priced and knowledgeable. Bottom line the other 2 shops cost me in excess of $650.00 + towing + rental car. Misleading me on parts they had put in and or what needed replaced. For a fraction Cone Automotive did the Job, I would be $850 better off if I started with them. Ill take expertise over ego any day of the week. They have earned all my business and should get yours too. Thank you so much!
The folks at Cones are amazing! They are honest, straightforward, and keep me informed throughout the process. They dont do any work without personally speaking to me first and they stay in budget! I wont take my vehicles anywhere else. With their reasonable prices, honest service, and friendly staff, why would I? Just know, they are usually pretty busy so calling ahead before you take your vehicle in is advised.
Very knowledgeable and friendly service.
We were traveling through Oregon when our alternator started to give out. We made it to the shop and they had us in, and checked out and back on the road within an hour! Amazing service 5 ⭐️s
Good repair shop to go to the people are nice honest and fair pricing for their services
Very compassionate about what his business and the work he does to insure that the customers are satisfied. Thank you for being Brutally Honest about the lack of communication and misunderstanding between us. I greatly appreciate you!
Super disappointed. They tore off political stickers we had on our window. Charged us $100 more than quoted, and took a week longer than anticipated to fix it. Clearly they didnt like our political affiliation and I cant help but wonder if that is why they took so long and charged us 100 over the estimate.
I went in to get my clutch done by far the cheapest price I could find professionally and the clutch was a nice clutch.
I feel very fortunate to have found a mechanic I can trust. Just as others have written excellent service built with integrity. Highly recommend.
They did a good job, on time and used good replacement parts. Charged a good price and stayed in estimated cost. Highly recommend them.
I was new in town and was referred to Cone Automotive by new boss and co-workers. I needed my engine replaced. They found a used one with less miles on it than my old one did. Excellent price and great service. They kept me updated all the way. That was several months ago and its still going strong. Yesterday I took it in for a check on squealing noises. Alternator belt was shot. But, they looked closer and the alternator was the problem as it was slowing down and was closing in on its own death. They replaced it for better than the estimate and as soon as they said they would. Awesome folks and service. I am a permanent customer.
My wife took my truck in to get the windows fixed on track doors last Friday morning 8:00 am and they said they could have it done before noon my wife called around noon and then they said it wasnt going to be done until after 5pm they lye to you I will never be recommend to anyone if they cant tell you the truth then I cant afford to trust them
Stellar serviceI have had many experiences with bad mechanics in the past unfortunately, but the moment I arrived here it is evident this place only employs kind people who are professionals. This may seem like a small thing to be happy about but I was significantly late for my appointment today (circumstances I couldnt control) and they still honored it. They began working on my vehicle as soon as they could without ever showing a single sign of grief or frustration. Considering this place stays really busy I was really thankful for that and I apologized on my part. They got the job done thoroughly and they made sure that I was 100 percent satisfied before sending me on the road. I had to stay in the the waiting room the entire time my truck was being repaired, I watched them do the same for every single person coming to pick up. You do not leave here unless you are happy with the final outcome and they do it with a genuine care. In my opinion this is a value that hardly exists these days, I know that I have never seen it quite like this before. Most seem like they want to get you out the door as fast as possible.Anyone reading this who is looking for a TRULY great mechanical service I highly recommend you go here first. This is the only place I will be going back to in this area. If there is a while to wait for an appointment it is worth it, I value getting things right the first time. I can see why this place has such good ratings, it is why I came here in the first place. Anyway keep it up you guys, you truly deserve them!
We had the most generous and wonderful experience with Cone Automotive. We came in under warranty for our alternator at 4:45pm on a road trip still 15 hours from home. The owner and one of the auto mechanics worked on our car to find the problem and completely replaced the alternator after hours. They were fast, helpful, honest, and genuinely cared about getting us on the road again. It was our very own Christmas miracle.
After my clutch went limp getting off the interstate in Ontario the day after Christmas Cone came through in the “CLUTCH.” The owners were super and saw us right away, diagnosed the problem and got us back on the road with no charge! I was so grateful I cried like a baby at the counter. I’m very hesitant to give my trust to someone I don’t know with my car but there are honest auto shops in this world and these guys are ones of them.
This place is awsome. Took my truck in for a rear main seal, said it would take 6 to 7 hours. Told them I would have to wait since I was from out of town. Went to get some lunch came back and the truck was done in 3 hours. They put 3 of their guys on it and got it done. Their other reviews are just as great.
Top Notch customer service. Mechanics are the best. I was especially impressed at the fact that they did not look down on me as a woman coming in to get my car fixed but was very respectful.
I have nothing bad to say they are amazing
Took my political sticker off my vehicle, took a week to get my truck actually looked at and worked on. Was referred to them but dont know if Ill be back. And I was told one price but paid $100 more then what was originally said
Very high Integrity!!! Wonderful and cheerful customer service! These people really care. I wont ever take a vehicle anywhere else! I found the needle in the haystack and everyone should know about them!
We were traveling through Idaho headed to the Oregon coast all the way from Pennsylvania when our car made weird sounds and leaked fluid everywhere. I read reviews on Google for Cones and Im so happy I did! 100% accurate. They helped us ASAP and were the nicest people. Were forever grateful for the amazing work they did and kind hospitality! They have love for travelers and WANT to help you get to your destination and make your experience as least stressful as possible. Dont hesitate to go here seriously.THANK YOU!
We live here in Ontario, and Cone Automotive is the FIRST place we call when we need something repaired on our vehicles!They are impeccably honest.They work diligently to diagnose problems accurately.They are up front with how much $$$ repairs will run.They helped us out when we took in a used vehicle to look it over when we were considering buying it.They are a great crew to work with.If you have read the other reviews, you have read how well they treat people. That is just the kind of people that they are. We are proud to have them in our community!If we could give them more stars, we would!!!
Bottom line up front: The best part of the worst week of 2019. Would HIGHLY recommend for routine AND emergency vehicle repair.Although tragic circumstances brought us to Cone Automotives shop door, they were absolutely the best part of the worst week I have had in years. Sparing the tedious details; a sudden death in the family had us driving from Colorado to Oregon and as soon as we turned off the highway to get lunch my Expedition went into Limp mode. The Ford dealership wasnt able to get us in for a month but did recommend Cone Auto to us. Between playing phone tag with the dealership, my family, car insurance, the car rental place, and Cone, we were able to schedule a drop off time for my Expedition. They did offer us a discount code for the rental car, which was unexpected and honestly so nice that I started to tear up. (I was a tad stressed.) We got the rental car, moved ALL of our luggage over to the SUV while our 2 young boys played with rocks, scooted over to Cone to drop off our SUV. My husband and the technician did a test drive, they gave us a tentative timeline of repair, we made sure Cone Auto had our phone number, and then we went our merry way...and had to turn back and run inside to get my husbands sunglasses (we were a tad stressed). They called us several times with updates regarding the plan of repair, what the cost of repair versus new transmission would be. Gave us updates as the part was shipped (from the city we live next to if you can believe it. Oh Karma you are a silly wench!) and as they began the arduous process of replacing the transmission they again kept us updated. We had left my SUV to be repaired and drove 8 hours West to attend the funeral and thanks to their updates and communication we were able to drive back at night while our 2 toddlers slept, take a nap in the car, get breakfast and then get our SUV back. I love the warranty on the new transmission and they were strict on their instructions for us to call them as soon as we got home so they made sure there were no problems. ;) Im pretty sure they called in a few favors to get our vehicle up and running over the weekend so we wouldnt be stranded on the west coast.
I highly recommend CONES AUTOMOTIVE for all your vehicle repairs. The service was top notch and the labor was $40 below my lowest bid. Good work at a fair price.
My Dodge Pickup had the power steering go down. I was travelling to collect items to send to the Philippines for relief work. The met my need with quick response and repaired it by that afternoon. So thankful for their fast friendly and professional service. Darrell
Wow. Best service Ive ever had. They quoted me at $80 for service (way more than reasonable), and then when they finished earlier than expected they reduced the price to $50. Ive never seen such honesty and compassion from an automotive, ever. Im not surprised one bit they have an overall rating of 4.9!
How lucky Ontario, Oregon is! We were travelling and had car problems and were fortunate to be directed to Cones. Even though they were busy they immediately jumped in to help. Had us diagnosed within an hour and booked with a neighbouring shop (Newmans Muffler Shop, also fantastic!) and were were on our way within hours. Above and beyond service that is unfortunately very hard to find these days! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you.
If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Brian and Danya went above and beyond just good business people, they were so hospitable and just plain kind. Brian and Dave diagnosed and then re-checked my issue before fixing it, saving me precious time and dollars since I was just travelling through. If I lived nearby they would be my go to car repair business of choice!Thanks all!
Was in town visiting and had to be available to leave on a specific day. My truck was having issues starting. Called Cones and they fit my truck in, repaired it quickly, got it back to me by my deadline -- even though they had work backed up. Super reasonable on the price. Thank you!!!!
I have to chuckle when I read the reviews because, like many others, our RV broke down when we were heading out on vacation and we were towed to Cone Automotive. They were extremely attentive and, while also extremely busy, they made the time to diagnose our issue and get the necessary parts ordered. We had it back in less than 24 hours and at a very reasonable price!I have spent many thousands of dollars at other mechanics trying to fix one simple problem. I have finally found a shop that knows their stuff! My only complaint is that they are not here in Boise but, you know what, Im thinking that they are worth a drive 50 miles each way:)Thank you!!
Super helpful and pleasant folks. Got us back on the road quick and at a very fair price. We haul for a living and Brian got us moving again!
SIX stars out of Five!! These guys are great. They diagnosed a catalytic converter problem I had never run into before and then set us up with a local muffler shop to install a new one.
Absolutely the best mechanic I have been to. My friends and I were on a road trip to Forks, Washington when our car had some issues on the highway. We brought our car in to the lot that night and the next morning when they opened they told me exactly what it was, how long and how much.They went above and beyond in customer service. Being a very far distance from home they called hotels all around the area to find us the best deal. They drove us and all our luggage to the hotel and told us to call if we needed anything. I would definitely go to Brian again if I lived in the area!Thank you so much Cone Automotive!!!
My boyfriend and I had a great experience with the kind owners of this auto shop. They went above and beyond to help us when we were stranded in an unfamiliar place. They even went as far as to help us find a dealership that was just as helpful. I highly reccomend Cone Automotive for an all around great experience.
My son and I were stuck at the Big Nasty Motorcycle Climb in New Plymouth, Id. with a broken rear end axle. In two and a half days,Thu,Fri, Sat, the owner found a replacement in Twin Falls (4 hrs away), recovered it by truck, and installed it in my sons 1996 RV. Cones Automotive is closed on Saturday, but since we were returning to California on Monday, the owner not only gave us head of line excellent service, he worked on his day off to get us back on the road with peace of mind and a quality job at a fair price.
My car broke down 30 miles west of Ontario. I called my son in Washington, he did some quick homework and recommended them to me after reading reviews. I had it towed there and they were quick to locate the problem. The extent of my repairs took several days so i rented a car to continue on my trip. They did their best to get it repaired as quickly as possible. They were great to work with and kept me informed of any further repairs it may have needed. I found them very honest, fair in their pricing, thorough and extremely nice people to work with. I highly recommend them !
Recently had my vehicle in for work to be done and they were very affordable and easy to deal with. Will be sending more people their way! Great place to deal with.
My Alternator went out on the way to Colorado for sons graduation. Cone Automotive were very busy and backed up for days. However, they were quick to make arrangements at another location in the next town. One of there mechanics charged my battery free of charge and the administrator called ahead to make all arrangements at the next shop down the road including directions. They were awesome!
During my drive from Seattle, WA to Durango, CO my car overheated because the water pump had stopped working. Not only did they fit me in the next day, they were hands down some of the nicest and most caring people I have ever met! They love animals and did not have any issues with my Great Dane accompanying me in the waiting area until my car was finished. They made a stressful situation incredibly manageable, and worked to solve the issues with my car in a swift and professional manner. 10/10 would recommend.
A wheel bearing and axle broke 8 miles outside of Ontario. After being towed by Fred, a wonderful tow truck driver, to Cones on a Sunday night I called the repair shop first thing Monday morning. In spite of a very busy schedule, Cone repaired the vehicle and had us back on the road at 10:00 am Monday morning. The price was less than online averages indicated. in addition to the excellent service, Mr. Cone and his wife were exceptionally kind folks. I was lucky to have broken down where I did.
Donya & Brian @ Cone Automotive were awesome. Check engine light came on while in town for a couple days. Needed to get back on the road ASAP and they were able to get me in and out very quickly on short notice. Walked out of there with my truck fixed and new friends.
We were on a looooong road trip and ran into car trouble. They got us in and worked on our problem right away. They got us back on the road as quickly as possible, saving the day. They were also VERY fair and reasonable even though our options were limited. What a great family owned repair shop!!!
Wonderful people! They took my scary experience and helped me to get back home! These people are very trusting and helpful!! I wish there were more people like them !!
Im not from the area so choosing a mechanic to replace a clutch on my datsun pick up was a stressful call. Im glad I went with Cone automotive. The final price was close to the original quote (slightly higher because I threw in an extra). They knew what they were doing and it was well worth the wait. They were not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. They also didnt tell me that we typically dont work on that make of vehicles like another shop did. Nice people. 5 stars thank you guys.
I had to have my car towed there. Found Cones on the internet. It was close by where my car had broke down. Took them 4 days to get to it. The fuel pump went out, had just replaced it a year ago. Cost was 304.00 dollars. This time pump was under warranty and Cones charged me 135.00. Thats for the labor. The fuel pump is under the back seat and takes 20 minutes to replace. I was satisfied .
Awesome service and fair prices. I was in a situation where I could have easily been gouged but these folks took care of me at a reasonable price. You cant put a price on peace of mind. Thanks mike!
My wife was in a pinch driving from Idaho to Portland and Cone was able to help and have her on her way in less than an hour. I cant say enough nice stuff about this place! Thank you so much Mike!
My car broke down near Ontario on a Friday afternoon, on a drive from Utah to Seattle. The staff at Cone Auto was really helpful and gave me a price that I didnt have to think twice about. They were very up front about costs and timeframe. My car was all done by Monday morning when I called to check-in. They treated me like family.
Mike, the mechanic, is the best mechanic, trustworthy, honest. The new owners are just as wonderful and helpful, and they take care of you. We recommend them to anybody.
See Brian. Hes well trained
Great customer Service, needed my mail jeep back asap needed a water pump, they got it done that night I picked it up in morning and made it out on the route! Quality work for sure, they also did my brakes few months ago. Will be going back for more work when needed for sure.
Best auto repair ever. Staff is amazing and so nice!
My wife and I had an unfortunate mishap while traveling from Seattle back to Salt Lake City, and our radiator broke. We had to stay the night at a motel, and took our car into Cone Automotive the next morning. Brian and the rest of the team at Cone Automotive were some of the kindest and most generous people weve ever met. They prioritized our car so we could get back on the road within a day. In addition to that, they treated us like friends and were so giving to us the entire day while we waited for our car repairs. We will never forget Cone Automotive and highly recommend them to anyone in Oregon or passing through. I only wish we lived closer so we could give all of our business to them.
I was broken down on my way to Portland, OR. Cone Automotive was super busy, but Mike the mechanic was soooooo nice! He went out of his way to quickly fix what was causing the problem and charged me a very fair price! Cone Automotive is how every mechanic shop should strive to be! They were excellent!!!!! Id rate them 100 stars if I could!
Very knowledgeable service technician. Really knows his cars. Friendly service. Very cost effective.
They got my ujoint fixed in no
Thanks for fixing our van, and for half the price I expected. Now that we reside in neighboring Payette, we will definitely be back.
I. Love this place because theygo the extra mile to make sure the problem is solved . they are all awesome people.
We were on vacation with our 3 kids and dog. It was 100 degree day and our a/c went out! Vacation almost ruined!!! They got us in THE SAME DAY, fixed our car, and used our purchased warrantee from the dealership. What awesome people, they treated my husband like family from the moment he walked in the door. They have our business for life, we will make the drive to see them! Thank you again!!!
When we were having transmission trouble, Brian determined it was a blown fuse. But rather than replace the fuse and charge us $200, Brian traced out WHY the fuse had blown. Turns out a service person from another company had drilled a screw through the wiring harness that went to the transmission.Youll get it done right, the first time and he wont tell you something more serious is wrong with your car to inflate the price. Honest and Conscientious.Brian is OUR mechanic!
Well much like others who have provided reviews we were saved by Brian, Donya and the wonderful crew at Cone Automative just as we embarked on a 3 week road trip. We were stranded at the local gas station and were fortunate enough to be referred to Cone Automative. First thing on a Friday morning the crew rearranged the lot to accommodate our truck and trailer. Within less then 2 hours and for an incredibly reasonable price we were back on the road with a brand new leaf spring! We even had the chance to chit chat with the main lady in charge which proved to be a riot!If you are passing through or live in the area I would highly recommend visiting the dedicated folks at Cone Automative!!!
Cone Automotive suggested a great tow company to get our truck/trailer to Ontario so they could work on the truck. We were stranded and they were very helpful. Cones was able to diagnose the problem and get us back on the road.
Great folks at Cone Automotive... Honest, reliable, personable and they do great work! My new go-to auto mechanics!
Absolutely the best and most personable shop in Ontario!! These guys are my car gurus!! 100 % recommend
Good people and always do good work.
The people at Cone Automotive worked me into the schedule, diagnosed the problem and fixed my car quickly. I will definitely recommend Cone Automotive for anyones auto repair needs. Friendly service every time.
We had two separate issues with our car and every time we took it in Brian tells you the issues!
Very honest mechanic work
Repost correctly - The people at Cone Automotive worked me into the schedule, diagnosed the problem and fixed my car quickly. I will definitely recommend Cone Automotive for anyones auto repair needs. Friendly service every time.
10 star!!! Having mechanical problems on the road not good. Quick professional service! 100% satisfied.
Been my go-to mechanic for years now. The best in Ontario.
He is great. And did a great job!
Honest, friendly and thorough. Would give 10 stars if possible!
Great, honest, reliable people. Ive taken both of my vehicles here to have various work done and will keep coming back!
Did a great job!
I wasnt impressed with their work. They fixed the motor on my window but yet it started acting up and not working right within a month of them working on it.
Does good work
Broke down in Ontario, Or, Cone Automotive came to the rescue, found it was my starter, had car towed to their shop, quickly got the new starter and installed it, got me on the road. Thank you Cone Automotive.
Really nice people!!
Ooo
My truck broke down on the highway. The mechanicsent out of their way to help me out and to get me back on the road
Great people,,, great service,,,, what a blessing what a difference
We had problems with our pickup as we were traveling through. He tested for problems, told us what we were dealing with and told us our options, reset the turbo and we were on our way in under an hour. And all for free. Thank you, Thank you!
They are good
Easy to work with
