Quick turn around, fair prices and really above and beyond service. Took our car in before a road trip for an oil change and a mystery leak. They changed out our cracked radiator that several other places had missed and spotted a nearly failed serpentine belt as well! Haven’t had the car this happy in forever. Drove 2000+ miles and she’s still purring.

They were amazing! I’m military and he really helped me out when I had and accident and only had liability. Definitely would recommend to anyone! The work done to my truck was phenomenal and it drives better than when I bought the truck! Super professional, very understanding, and overall cares for the well-being of the driver.

My car had some thermometer issues so I scheduled an appointment online and got a call from Alberto who had me bring it in the next day. Later he called again and listed the repairs my car would need and how much they would cost. The pricing was fair so I had him do all of the repairs. Overall great service (he even picked me up in my car for free when it was time to come pick it up)

Called last week to get a quote on an ignition coil and 4 spark plugs replaced on my 05 Nissan, I spoke with Alberto he was very kind and knowledgeable. When I dropped the vehicle off, his assistant was very kind and friendly. While he worked on the vehicle, he found two other issues with the vehicle. He called me straight away and told me about these other issues and at asked if I wanted him to go ahead and fix them, he even had pictures taken already and wanted to show me before proceeding. He stayed late to finish the vehicle so I could have it up and running for tomorrow. When I arrived to pick the vehicle up he was even friendlier in person and amazing. He showed me where the oil leak was coming from, and explained the AC leak he had found. After the transaction he even gave us a coupon to come back and get work done later if needed. His work was very well priced and he takes pride in his work! Alberto will be getting my business again and again! (AND I live an hour away!) 10/10 I recommend Wheat State Automotive!!

This place was fantastic! Everywhere else within several miles was closed and we desperately needed to get our tire changed out. This guy stayed open late to help us. He was helpful, fast, and efficient. Thank you so much!

My starter went out in the Dillon’s parking lot behind Alberto’s shop. They not only got me in the next day they also pushed my car into their lot and saved me the cost of a tow. Very professional with good communication. I highly recommend Wheat State Auto for your auto repair needs. I will be bringing my other vehicle in for service here.

Mr. Hernandez is a man of integrity and character who works diligently to satisfy his customers auto needs. As we have worked with Mr.Hernandez, we have found him to be trustworthy, honest, and kind. Due to his strong work ethic and caring attitude to serve his customers, he can be found working late into the night and on weekends at his shop. If you are looking for a reliable auto shop that will listen and care, you will find someone you can trust at Wheat State Automotive Repair. It is reassuring to know we can rely on Mr. Hernandez whenever our vehicles are in need of repair.

I’ve been using Wheat State Automotive for over four years and consider it “my garage” for just about everything except factory recalls because of their automotive knowledge (ASE Master Mechanic Certification), ongoing training, over 20 years professional experience, and BBB A+ rating. Rates are in line with other reputable shops. For quality and reliability, they favor using factory parts, not cheaper “knock-offs.” They are compassionate and do their best to help customers who have problems. I appreciate their positive, cheerful, and honest approach! Five stars, for sure.

If youve been seeking one of the most knowledgeable, friendliest mechanics in Wichita, Kansas, your search is over. My wife and I have been privileged to meet the owner of Wheat State Automotive Repair, and have even welcomed him into our home, as he graciously delivered our car to us after having serviced it.Mr. Hernandez is a certified master mechanic having extensive experience in repairing cars, and the quality of his work is unparalleled. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment to see him for all your car repair needs. He has earned my trust and utmost respect, and I am blessed to call him my friend.Thank you, Alberto!!

I would highly recommend Wheat State Automotive. Alberto is thorough, fair and I appreciate the way he explains everything before doing/recommending any work. He did find additional issues with my vehicle, but he called before doing any additional work and showed me exactly what the problem was. My 17 year old has an older truck that we knew needed substantial work. My son decided he wants to keep the truck anyway. Alberto helped us prioritize the most critical for performance and safety. He also has done all he can to save money on the project without compromising the integrity or quality of work.

Mr. Hernandez is wonderful to work with and very honest. Great work at a fair price. I will recommend him to anyone that asks! I had a steering wheel issue sometime ago that no one else seemed to be able to fix. He was able to repair it and for the fraction of what other shops had estimated!!

Alberto goes above and beyond to get the job done. He is knowledgeable. He walks you through the process and his prices are the lowest. It gets done right the first time. Unlike the other business repair shop he makes it’s his business to take care of you. Like family. It is what it is!!! I will give him 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The owner, Alberto, is as trustworthy and professional as you will find. We have been taking our vehicles to him for years, including our bus that we use for tailgating at KSU football games. Alberto always goes out of his way to take pictures to show you exactly what is damaged or needing replaced. He has access to factory parts which is a must for me while remaining extremely competitive on labor. Never once, have i had to go back a second time on a repair. Alberto know his stuff!!

Mr. Hernandez explained everything to me about the repairs and costs necessary for maintaining our two vehicles. We trust him. He does great work at very reasonable prices. We highly recommend Wheat State Automotive Repair.I just took my 2010 Ford Fusion last week. It was running so ruggedly that I could hardly go up an entrance ramp. After the repairs, the car drove like it did when I first purchased it. Amazing! Plus he fixed my keyless entry that NEVER worked before. And it was returned to me vacuumed and shiny outside too.Thanks Wheat State!

Review №31

FRAUD! I live really close to him and he did work on a car i had before. I think he is WAYY overpriced, he charges more than the dealership, but for me he was worth it because he was really nice and seemingly caring about your issues. WELL.. this is all a farce. I called him because another shop had been unable to fix my problem and Alberto had said that he could get to the problem, just he is busy and really low on time. So i take my car to him. Thinking that he actually wanted to diagnose and fix my car. He said the diagnosis is 119 dollars. Well he is kind of all over the place. First he was gonna do this, but then changed his mind, then he was gonna do that but changed his mind. I said look just run some tests you know, i think it is a vacuum leak. The only thing he did was move a coil to another cylinder and then pressure test for coolant leaks. He WOULD not run any short term fuel trim readings, or a smoke test or anything, he didnt look at the injectors, DIDNT LOOK FOR THE VACUUM LEAK! NOTHING! BUT THEN he tells me well you need a cylinder leak test for 400 dollars, otherwise itll be 120 dollars. I was like what happened to the other tests? He didnt answer, i asked him if he ran them, no answer. I said I AM NOT PAYING 120 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSIS WHEN YOU HAVENT EVEN PROVIDED ONE. I think that is his gig, he wants to just charge for the diagnosis. I said why are you jumping to the cylinder leak test when there are other tests that are less expensive and could be the problem? no answer. I didnt pay the 120, but i BET if i hadnt fought him about it, he would have tried to get me to pay it, while HE DID NOTHING BUT WASTE MY TIME! I am so mad! I had to rent a car and i had NO TIME and he just was trying to scam me. FYI I talked to 3 other mechanics who said they wouldnt have done a cylinder leak test on the issues i was having.. it was unneccessary, he was just trying to get my money cause i told him i had my student loans. Well i use those loans cause I am in nursing school. ITS NOT FREE MONEY, but I do NEED my car. Shouldnt have told him that maybe he would have ACTUALLY done the work. RIP OFF

The repair to my 08 Chevy Cobalt was done quickly and well. Alberto did not just replace the AC compressor because it was not working but found that there was merely a wire broken so he soldered it back together and replaced the wire covering. Now my AC works great and I did not have to go through the expensive process of replacing all of my AC components that need to be replaced if the compressor is replaced.

I was in a terrible position, I was driving from Oklahoma City to Wichita to complete a loan transaction when my tire blew out 25 miles from my destination. ..i had a blow out two 1 earlier and my other tire was at the shop waiting on the tire to be put on the rim. So I had no spare tire. I drove as far as I could, and pulled into what looked like a mechanics shop . Everything was dark so I thought I would have to sit all night an wait. Then Mr. ALBERT HERNANDEZ came out and he went above and beyond, he helped us get a tire on the car, even without any money . He was extremely courteous and helpfull well knowing I had no money, and he was surely off the clock. He deserves recognition for his selfless act! I would refer him to anyone for his work!rj

Alberto Hernandez is honest, dependable and he has extensive automotive knowledge to work on most any car repair problem. He was able to diagnose and fix my Jeeps heater problem for which I am so thankful for as the cold weather is here. I would recommend Wheat State Automotive repair for your car repair needs.

Review №38

From NE to Houston my Civic seriously started leaking coolant. Had to stop in Wichita for immediate service on the 4th of July. The owner got me in right away and was very honest with me. The issue was a very serious one and I was hundreds of miles from home. He not only helped with the car, but also showed willingness to help in any other way he reasonably could. Obviously he cares very much about his customers! Charge was very reasonable. Certainly would go out of my way to make him my regular mechanic if I lived in the Wichita area.

I have taken my 15-year-old Blazer to Alberto several times and he has made it hum each time. I trust him completely to diagnose and fix any problem. When he was a master mechanic at a major dealership here in Wichita I took my Camaro to him to fix a brake problem that had stymied many other mechanics and cost me well over $1000 dollars. Alberto fixed it and I never had another problem. His shop is very accessible just west of 13th and I-135.
