Greg and crew are awesome! Honest, caring and give customers all the info, options to fix the issue correctly. Youll not go wrong with trusting them with your vehicle.

This is a top notch mechanic shop. They take the time to do an alignment right. Do you have a daily driver that pulls? They can diagnose and fix the issue then alignment. Do you have a track car and need a custom alignment? They have you covered. They have suggestion on what to run for the type of racing you participate in.Best alignment I have had in the City.

This is the only place I take my car for service. The owners are personable, knowledgeable, honest, and very committed to fixing car issues at a fair and reasonable price. You can bring your car here for service without the worry of being overcharged for services your car may or may not even need. The shop is run by a husband and wife team and they are both great people. Highly recommended!

The quality of service that I experienced was beyond my expectations. I was referred to them by a Facebook group and I’m glad I took the referral. They mounted and balanced my new tires onto my wheels and even went as far as to print out where I need to install each wheel for the best ride and performance. I like the fact that the weights they used are black and hidden from sight. Makes it look so clean. Love that. The value can’t be beat. The customer service is outstanding. I’ll definitely be a return customer.

First time using them, definitely not my last. They installed a limited-slip differential and did a performance-oriented alignment for me and I was very satisfied with the entire process. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and did a good job of answering all of my questions beforehand. The work was completed in a timely manner and for a reasonable price. They also pointed out and corrected a minor suspension issue I didnt know I had while they were working on it as well. Would recommend this shop without hesitation.

Good place. They know what theyre doing. They do not take very long to get job done, they know what its like to have to wait for your car and, so they treat you appropriately.they receive their shipments from Factory Motor Parts, RockAuto and such, I know because I did deliveries for Factory Motor Parts, involving RockAuto and such.

All I need to say is if you want it done right the first time, this is the place.Greg and David are great, they are friendly and easy to deal with.I will definitely be going back to them for an alignment.They did an alignment on my daily driver in June 2019. I took a short road trip last weekend The car always drove good but after their alignment it drives great. Thanks Greg and everyone at Santa Fe Garage.

The folks at Sante Fe provide friendly, honest, and quality service at a fair price. Youll always see rare, expensive, and/or classic cars in their garage, a testimony to their care and expertise. Yes, they stay pretty busy and youll need an appointment a few days to a couple of weeks ahead for non-emergencies, but the peace of mind is worth the wait.

All the folks at Santa Fe Garage are always friendly and helpful. They will let me know when a possible problem is starting to show up but they are just as quick to point out to me that something really isnt a problem and that I need not waste my money. I go there for all my auto problems. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They only fix what really needs fixing

Very professional and thorough service. Have taken 2-3 different vehicles there and will continue to do so and recommend to friends. You will never hear your BMW is special and requires a special alignment which requires a special fee from these guys or any other misleading practice. They simply know what theyre doing on a wide variety of platforms, have the experience to do it right and can be trusted to take excellent care of your vehicle or wheels while in their possession. Taking wheels/tires to get balanced elsewhere like NTB always leaves me doubting and has resulted in damaged wheels upon return. Never again.

Though I dont know much about cars, the person I was with does. He praised their performance and competency level for quite some time. High compliments indeed from him.

Had an urgent repair come up this week and didnt have time to take my car to my usual mechanic, so I took it to this shop near the courthouse in Independence. Power steering went out of my car and theres always a concern that mechanics you dont know are going to tell you that your car needs a pump or something more expensive, when the fix is actually simpler than that. These guys were honest, fixed the hoses that needed fixing, and didnt try to get something more. Very reasonable and I felt totally comfortable taking my car there. Would do it again. Id recommend this shop to anyone.

Been going here for over six years and its unfortunate I didnt discover this place sooner. This is the best place in the area to go and you can tell by how far some travel to go here. An honest and reputable company.

Best shop in town. Cant say enough good things about them. I have had them do custom alignments, welding, and whatever else that comes up that I cant tackle myself for my daily vehicles and the race car. They always take the time to explain things and will make recommendations on what can be done to improve things.

The Chrysler dealerships couldnt balance my SRT8 wheels to save their lives. Two dealerships, two alignments, and four balances - and still the car shook at highway speeds. One trip to Santa Fe cured everything! Now all of my performance car buddies bring their cars from miles away to get their work done by Santa Fe Garage. We have a Viper as well and will not let anybody else work on the wheels, tires, or suspension of that car. These guys are absolute top notch!

I found this shop on google 2015, one of a few places that work on foreign cars. I dont trust dealerships, theyve never treated me fairly. Greg and the whole team at Santa Fe have always been honest and treated me and my vw jetta fairly. And yes, theyre always busy when I call to schedule a service which means to me lots of other folks trust their skill. We always work it out. I flat out refuse to take my car anywhere else.

Extremely Professional Shop! I was looking for a place to fix the vibration in my Suburban that I have been getting for years which was giving my family motion sickness on long road trips. This has been going on for years…literally! I have tried well over 7-8 different tire places around town, most were name brand. Every place I went they told me to expect some vibration because my wheels were large aftermarket wheels – 22’s. This was frustrating and made me begin to regret the move to aftermarket wheels and rims. Well I found a review of Sante Fe Garage on another site and they had nothing but good things to say so I thought I would try this place. So I called and the people were extremely nice on the phone and in person. They were also THE most knowledgeable team of people I have run across. They showed me what the levels were before they did the work, described what they were going to do, and showed me where the problems where and how they addressed them. I left the shop with complete confidence my ride would be smoother but didn’t tell them due to previous experiences, I just left. But I tell you what…the ride was so smooth! Almost equivalent to my factory 17” wheels, and even though I have had these aftermarket wheels a couple years this is THE BEST they have ever rode. I called back to Sante Fe Garage and expressed my gratitude to the entire team. My family was impressed as well....thought I got new tires. :)You will not be sorry going to this shop for service in my opinion! Excellent Service! Professional Service!

This garage has some VERY friendly staff. Having said that, I am left confused. I have a 1993 Nissan 300zx with stalling issues while in gear and idling. A month after I purchased this car, there was a strange grinding noise that came and went with no apparent reason. I took it to Santa Fe garage to have it checked out. While on the phone attempting to find a time to have them look at the car, I was told (very kindly, mind you!) that they were super busy. The entire process of scheduling the visit seemed to be an extreme burden for them. Im not sure if I had ever indicated that the work was to be done out of charity, but the awkwardness of the scheduling made it seem so.Well after the visit, a problem was found that there was a bad knock sensor (this wasnt ever related to the noise issue or stalling issue) and paid them over $250 for the service. Again, SUPER nice people!The stalling issue has persisted for several months and I decided to take up the quest to have it fixed yet again. I called Santa Fe Garage because Ive heard wonderful things about them from the Heart of America Z Club that I am a part of. Today, I spoke with a (very nice) gentleman who said again that they were very busy and didnt know when they could get to it...probably in two weeks or more. We talked for a bit as to what the issue might be and things that I could check myself. His reasoning for wanting me to check it out first was again, that they were busy, that it would take several hours to check out, and that he didnt want to schedule something that far out in case other emergency jobs came out (mentioning modding jobs and tune-ups that he had to perform). In my mind some time later that day I got to thinking wait, what if I were one of those emergencies? Would I be treated as a priority or an inconvenience?All in all, thats what Ive felt like, an inconvenience. I can appreciate a shop saying they just dont have the time to service a vehicle because theyre swamped. That usually means theyre a good shop! But the entirety of my experience had felt like an inconvenience. Even talking with a gentleman at the shop while picking up my car, he mentioned that he didnt check the timing belt (which I had asked him to do - wasnt expecting free service, mind you!) and he went over to my car and pointed out how hard it would be to check the timing belt among the difficulty it would be to change the head gaskets (which I mentioned the nissan dealer said needed to be done).All in all, it seems this shop is a great place; clean, friendly staff. But I cannot get it out of my head that I was just being bypassed, and for no apparent reason. Im left confused. I just want someone to tell me whats wrong with my car! I dont really care how hard its going to be to find the issue and fix it! Ive got money set aside for this! Im a little sad, and a lot disappointed.Thats my sob story.
