The service we received was excellent!! Their price was reasonable and fair. They completed our windshield replacement in a timely manner. We were very happy with all aspects of their service and will definitely use them again. Brets Auto Olathe was recommended to us by Brets Auto of Gardner. We have had great success with both places!

Brets Autoworks does an amazing job! Tech Matt kept me well informed with everything that needed to be done and they send you a video as well as an itemized estimate. The work that needed to be done on my vehicle was actually done a day earlier than expected, so that was awesome. Everyone there is very professional & courteous. I highly recommend them!

While visiting in Kansas, our truck was broken into and hot wired (luckily they were unsuccessful). Brets Autoworks was recommended to us by an exec in the auto industry, and we were not disappointed! We had a complete steering column rebuild on our 2004 Chevy Avalanche. The service advisor, Matt, was very thorough, communicative, and honest. He worked with our insurance and was very patient with them as we had a few hoops to jump through. He kept us updated every step of the way and the work they completed was a quality repair for a good price. Thanks, Matt and Brets Autoworks!

They are very professional and the work done was the exact price of the estimate. They are very informative and answered all my questions. This is the second time I have used their services and will continue to use them for all my vehicle needs. Thank you so much.

I was impressed with the overall feel I got from the people working there. Their shop is clean and very professional-looking. I also liked the fact that they provided me with a video of their inspection process, which made it very easy to see and understand what repairs were needed. I will definitely be engaging their services again!

Brought my car in and let them know the P codes and what I wanted them to quote me on to fix it. They quoted me over $2200 for the repair which was estimated at $900 to $1200 everywhere I looked online. I have since been able to find another shop that is doing it for less than $1000. I was also charged $148 for “labor” which entailed them hooking up their scan tool and telling me what codes I had when I had already told them when I came in the first time. Would never consider using them again.

Explanations were detailed and informative. They answered every question. I found them trustworthy. Maybe a little more expensive than other shops, but trust does come with a price tag.

Amazing experience here, and they went above and beyond whenever I got my oil changed. Sent a video of all the things they think needs work on my vehicle as well as all the good! Also gave me quotes, that were absolutely fairly priced. Will be doing business with them again! -Mikel

Great. Got nice tires and a wheel alignment. Of course it was expensive. Cars arent cheap anywhere. I feel like Im driving a different car now. Guys up front are knowledgeable and courteous. They can actually explain things to you if you need. When I cant fix something myself, this is my new place

Review №16

I took my vehicle in for an issue it was having and they found that what was wrong was not as bad as what I thought. They also do a complementary inspection and send you a video to watch as they walk around the vehicle and show you what us wrong and why. So for me they found a few issues that I did not even know about which in the long run is saving me more money. They are polite, professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely be using them again.

My experience with Bret’s Autoworks went very smoothly. David drove my car & reassured me it was the transmission instead of something else. Once I decided to have them do the repair it was done quickly. I was impressed by David taking extra time with some other repairs.( key fob, draining fluids, battery terminal and setting clock) These details took care of me and my car. Thank you! I have already talked up your praises to a neighbor and co worker.

Friendly and fast service. They offered me a better price than other repair shops in the area. My vehicle is running great and Im very happy with my experience. If my vehicle has other maintenance needed, this shop will be my first choice to get the work done.

Review №21

Car was making scraping noises after I replaced the front suspension myself. My wife was furious and made me take it to the Kia dealer to mop up any mistakes. They had it 4 days and all they could tell me is that the bearings I installed were bad and that the new struts I put in might have a bad bearing. After days of them being too busy, we picked up the vehicle and Brets diagnosed the issues with some rusty parking brake and a bent rotor dust plate and had us running in a matter of hours. My wife is thrilled and so am I that I didn’t do anything to harm her car! These guys are honest and professional and that is hard to come by these days.

I was looking for a good local shop for my family’s auto mechanic needs and I think we have found it with Bret’s Autoworks. They got me in quickly, kept me informed of the diagnosis through text messaging and video, provided me options for the repair, and got the repairs (brake rotors/pads, new tires) completed quickly. I will be using Bret’s going forward for all my auto mechanic needs.

I highly recommend Bret’s Autoworks. I had the Active fuel management issue on my 5.3 L Tahoe and they were able to work with the warranty company. Jerico and Matt were great to work with and they both gave updates regularly. I’ll be back.

Highly recommend Mark and his team. I had my sons car in during his leave for he said was 1) trouble shifting (transmission), 2) electrical (blinkers and hazard lights were out and wouldnt work), 3) a bumper replacement due to damage (where he lives back east they said to repair it would take over a week so I told my son about my previous experiences at Bretts and if anybody could help out with the bumper and car repair it would be them). They checked the transmission and that wasnt the problem so we didnt need a new one that we thought), they were able to replace the bumper and thus fixed the electrical so he finally had blinkers and hazards), checked and rotated the tires.Mark kept me up to date on what they were doing and what they found might be needed. Not to mention they sent a video of them going over the car so I was able to see what they saw as they explained what they found. Pretty cool! The car was done the next day and works like new.Check them out!

My daughters car has been serviced at Bret’s for over 10 years, and I’m sure that’s why it’s still in such good shape. Whether it’s an oil change for maintenance or repairs of something more serious, Bret’s is always professional and transparent about pricing. I really appreciate the inspection videos they send before doing work.

Review №41

Video of the 27 point inspection they perform was great and much appreciated as it validated a repair that was needed. Dealt with Dave and he was great and understanding of where the most bang for my buck should go in order to fix something that I wasn’t sure about initially. That work was done as per his timeline and very satisfied to date.

Review №42

I have been using Brets for auto repairs since I started driving. They have always been very professional and thorough with their work. They are not the cheapest, but they are the most honest repair shop. When they say something needs to be fixed, you can trust they are telling the truth.

Review №43

From the second I walked in the door I felt comfortable leaving my vehicle in their hands.I worked with Mark who kept me very informed about updates on my vehicle and costs related to the work being done.My 2014 Ram 1500 went in for an awful exhaust sound and some transmission concerns. Dave, the mechanic, did a fantastic inspection and in the complimentary video was very detailed about what he was seeing and what he suggested. Considering my truck was almost at 100k miles, they also performed the 100k mile tune-up.Outside the 100k mike tune up I had a bad exhaust manifold and Bret’s performed top-notch service and even put OE equipment on to replace the warped manifolds, that includes drilling out 4 bolts that were broken. The adaptive transmission had several shifting codes that were affecting the performance of how I drive, and sure enough bret’s helped me to find an inexpensive option to help her shift smoother.- all this work done in a day and a half. That to me is incredible.Did I mention the 36 month 36,000k mile warranty? Had me on the road confident in my truck again in no time. I can’t thank Bret’s enough for providing awesome service quickly and professionally. I’ll be using Bret’s for years to come.

Arrived at the appointment time and received fast and complete service. They check the whole vehicle for an oil change including the battery & fluid levels and tested it and found battery needed to be replaced so I avoided a no start condition that could come at a bad time,I trust Bret’s with my car repairs.

Review №49

I was referred to Brets by Certified Transmission when I thought my transmission was going out. It was something much more. I dont live in Olathe and had never used Brets before. They were friendly, professional and able to work with me right away. They diagnosed the problems and provided an accurate cost. Once the part was in, they quickly fixed my car and had me back on the road. Thanks for your help!

Spent a ton of money there on my Taco, they said do this work and shouldn’t have any more issues, having more and more issues since. Seems like every few months have to work on it. Figure with the money they took from me it wouldn’t have any problems. They did warranty what they worked on but found more things to fix to get money should have been brought up when I paid over 5k last time. But hey they have to eat too.

Review №58

Had been taking my car here for a couple years to get oil changes done on it, and recommended them to a friend who needed the same service. They had previously tried to get me to pay them to change my air and cabin filters at $35/each, and I warned her they would likely try the same with her. Not only did they attempt this, they quoted her $70 per filter, and when she wisely declined, they jammed the cabin air filter back in haphazardly. We changed the filters later in about 3 minutes, paying $14 per filter. I will never be returning here, as the Christian values they tout clearly dont apply when it comes to squeezing a little extra out of people they think they can deceive. I would highly recommend you find another local mechanic.

Had a repair done on an older automobile last month which was timely and efficiently done.

I had a sudden need for diagnosis of a failing tire. Bret’s staff got me in right away and quickly provided information that I had an unrepairable tire. They provided a temp patch that would get me home that night safely, and when I returned the following day, they quickly balanced and mounted the new tire they had ordered for overnight delivery due to its unique characteristics. The service people I dealt with in the office as well as in the shop were very pleasant, professional and helpful. The pricing of the service was as estimated initially. Bottom line, an excellent experience for me. I recommend this service location without hesitancy.

Review №64

The customer service is excellent. They sent a video of the inspection of my vehicle and pointed out the issues for me to visualize rather than just hearing it over the phone. Quick turn around as well on completion of the work. I was referred to them by another shop in town and will now be taking my vehicles to them going forward. Thanks!!

I have gone to Brets Autoworks in Olathe when work was needed on my 2005 Mazda B4000 pickup. They did not disappointment me then and did not disappoint me this time. The camera used for their 27 point check and sent to you is excellent. There is no doubt what is being talked about and the service rep goes over the recommended future service and helps to prioritize the repairs. Excellent job on repairs and gives you information that you will understand. Thank you Brets Autoworks.

I have used Bret’s Autoworks since 2012 when I needed a CV joint replaced on a 96’ Camry. They have been my trustworthy go to for prepurchace used vehicle inspections and for all work that needs done, from break pads to major motor work. Fair prices, Quick turn around, 100% trustworthy! They are not shy to tell you when a car is bad or if you should have a service done that needs it. Many great employees who take pride in their work!!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Inspections are done with cameras! You see what the techs are talking about while they are explaining their findings thoroughly and completely. The staff is awesome, knowledgeable, and treats you with respect. And my vehicle always operates more smoothly when I have my oil service performed here. I take a vehicle in for inspection at Brets before I buy. These are people you can trust.

Went to Firestone to have my 1971 Ranchero aligned. They showed me I need to replace the power steering control valve. Took my car to Bretts and asked them to replace it. They were very friendly and remembered me from a year ago. They updated me on my cars progress and sent a video on the problems they found. They wondered why I needed to replace it because it wasnt that bad. They explained that it needs to be checked with the engine running. The real issue was the idler arm. Should have gone here first.

I have had a lot of work done to my truck in the past. They have always taken care of me and at unbelievably fair prices. My truck is 11 years old and has intermittent issues theyve spent days trying to diagnose but couldnt at the time because it just wouldnt do it for them. They wouldnt charge me for it either. They have always taken care of me and they will take care of you the same.And whoever fixed my mirror, thank you!!

Always use the coupons in the value packs that come in the mail, even if they are expired! WONDERFUL service, great customer relations, have been using them for years.... always honest... never have to worry about a thing, they take care of it all! :)Only gave 1star BC the system says that means good. They are higher priced than most. You do get great service, though. Even w/ a coupon, they are higher. Example: oil change only w/ coupon = $29.95. They will not match competitors. Other place oil change w/ tire rotation = $15.00. Ive gone to these guys for years. They wanted $360 for a driver side manual mirror; $155 for a battery. I got the mirror for $35 and battery w/ 3yr warranty and installation at Adv. Auto 1 block away. Sad to stop using them, but cant afford to throw my $ away anymore. :(

Never taking my car back to this place. Well overpriced. I heard a bunch of good things and then was disappointed when I went in. They tried telling my dad they told me how much it was upfront but both my friend and I didn’t hear anything of a price. I didn’t even get anything done to it and I had to pay 273.00. absolutely ridiculous. wanted to charge me 450 for a window replacement when I was told by other places it would be 1/3 of that price.
