Roger, Sean and the rest of the crew treat you like you’re their family. And they treated my truck like it’s their own. Lived all around the US and have seen dozens of local service shops, and Knights is easily one of the best in the entire country.

Amazing experience! They went above & beyond to fix my AC that was an extremely challenging task. Worked with Sean & Roger the owner, best customer service experience ever! Fixed motor mounts & fixed AC at no charge! Genuinely honest and good people! Thank you Knights!!

Really good experience. I wish I had more people of this quality to do business with. I know that I can trust them plus they always go the extra distance to give excellent service and do quality work. Truly appreciate the whole team. It is a relief to know I have them to rely on for all my automotive needs and safety. The only thing that could be better is if I had found them sooner. Thank all of you at Knights.

I really appreciate Knights honesty in what needs to be repaired. I have older cars that I dont want to spend a lot of money on. He tells me what is necessary, what can wait, what doesnt need to be done at all and why so I can make an informed choice. Ive been going to them for over 15yrs. They stand by their work too.

Meticulous service. Roger works hard to get it right the first time. Has all the resources necessary for a thorough repair. No guess work here.

I started going to Knight’s some years back after driving my Nissan to San Diego from Boston via Oregon. Their service and competence are just unparalleled!Knight’s philosophy is to charge you fairly—no doing work you don’t need just to make a buck. The payoff for that policy is in customer loyalty—and, boy, are their customers loyal, myself included. (Try to book your appointment well in advance.)A special thanks to Manager Chris, who was super careful to keep high-risk me safe during Covid!

After taking my Hyundai to the dealership I wanted a second opinion. Thank goodness I did because they misdiagnosed me. Chris was extremely helpful and informative and got the right parts to fix my car in almost half the price the dealership was offering me on something that wasn’t even the problem. I will be coming back here and referring to friends and family! Great experience!

Knights provides excellent service and almost always is able to see me when I pop in or provide another time if necessary. They are professional and friendly and provide honest, quality car care. I am so thankful that my son recommended them to me years ago as somewhere I could feel safe taking my car to.

Just took my Hyundai in again for service and the performance there was exceptional. Roger and Chris run a local auto repair shop like a revolving door. They were amazingly efficient with people lined up all day to get service. It truly is a shop where all the employees are fully trained, knowledgeable, honest and customer oriented. I have been going to Knights for several years always leaving with 100% satisfaction...now even driving from Los Angeles where I moved to. Without a doubt, they are the best in the industry and are highly recommended.

Well!!!! I was looking for a new mechanic and yipee I found one!!! As always an unexpected sudden issue with my Lexus and I literally Googled and found this place. I was so nervous because sometimes as a woman these mechanics see $$$$ signs when they see you coming. Chris is very cool and honest and he actually knows about cars!!! He got it back to me when he said that he would and it drove better than it did when I initially brought it to him. So FIVE STARS AND THEN SOME FOR THIS LOCATION!!! Thanks again Chris and Leo is nice too :-)

Weve been happily using Knights for all of our cars, for all kinds of things, for years. We value their advice so much that we buy only makes of cars that they service. From the normal stuff like brakes and oil changes to the more unusual stuff like rodent damage and new teen driver damage, theyve helped us with it all. The latest? They installed a hitch (at less than half what the dealer wanted to charge us) for our summer adventures. Thanks Knights!

I cant say enough good things about Roger, Chris and their employees. I have been taking my 2000 Lexus there for 7 years. The car has 215,000 miles on it and runs like a champ due to their work. I have always found them to be honest and straight forward when explaining the repair needed and the cost. Going there is like a step back in time to when businesses valued their costumers and wanted their return business.

Stopped in here to ask about my 2002 Lexus ES300 not starting. He said its probably the starter. He had one of his workers drive with me to get the car started by banging on the starter with a hammer. This prevented a towing charge which I appreciated. He replaced the starter at a reasonable price and fixed the idle at no charge. This is my new go to place for car repair.

I had some issues with my 2001 Nissan Maxima and couldn’t get it smogged. They were able to diagnose the issue after two days. The owner (20+yr Nissan Master Tech) worked on the vehicle. He gave me a ride to work! Very reasonable people there. I will go to them in the future.

Review №47

It was a SWEET ENDING to a very sour beginning, thanks to service manager, Chris Nelson and owner, Roger Knight. Long Story, Short: My radiator hose blew off, spewing coolant all over engine compartment and driver side of my Outback (92,000 miles); the dealer quoted me much more than Knight Automotive to replace hoses and thermostat, but failed to tell me that the radiator also needed to be replaced. Pretty tricky!!! Understanding the prior 24-hour long drama, Chris agreed to replace ALL the parts, including the radiator and labor, for the original quote the Subaru dealer gave me for just the hoses and thermostat. I didnt have my vehicle for the entire Labor Day weekend, but that was perfect. I not only saved money with a beautiful repair (including an engine cleaning), I couldnt go out shopping for 4 days!

Review №52

A few years ago I took my Nissan into the shop; fist time. Chris let me know that I could take it to Nissan and let them pay for it. I did, and they did: $4K. Later, a secondary problem cropped up. Chris mentioned that it was likely connected to problem 1, so the now expired warranty could still cover it. It did. So, more than $4K+ avoided. Car fixed. Client for life. The Ford Edge is there now for brakes. Excellent work, and honesty to go with it.

Last Wednesday my pastor and I were discussing a car problem I was having and he told me he always brings his cars to Knights Automotive. I now know why...Knights are excellent mechanics with integrity.Here is why I say that - I just took my wifes Lexus RX in to have oil leaks fixed, which was going to cost well over $1,000 due having multiple leaks (its a gross leaker). The vehicle has almost $200K miles on it, and major rust due to coming from the northeastern US. Instead of just looking at the single issue (oil leak) and quoting a price, Knights looked at the entire car and gave us the information my wife and I needed to make an informed decision. Specifically, they let us know the car needs new rear break pads and possibly more break work due to the rust, new front and rear engine mounts, and the transmission is working but starting to slip when they accelerated fast (we both drive like Mr. Magoo so had no idea that was happening).Of course we do not want to spend well over $1,000 to fix oil leaks on a car worth $1,000 when there is another $5,000 in work to be done. So Knights lost a $1,000 job. But they gained a lifelong customer.Thank you so much Chris and Roger (and pastor John for referring us to Knights Automotive)!

Most important is the trustworthiness of Rodger and Chris, both helping out with minor problems in a cost efficient manner, and being up front about costs and the estimated survival/life expectancy of my older car when deciding whether to replace.

Had my rear brakes replaced. They took me home and when they were finished with the repair they came to my house and picked me up. They gave me an estimate before they started the job. When I picked up my car they charged me what they said it would be. Didnt try to up sell me.
