The Highest Rated Auto Repair in Kansas City

Ranked by the rating and review count on each listing, not by who pays us. Nobody pays us.

  1. Stallion Mobile Tire★ 5.0128 reviews · Tire Shop
  2. C&S Mobile Repair, LLC★ 5.023 reviews · Heavy Duty
  3. TLA mobile tire service★ 5.021 reviews · Tire Shop
  4. Stray Dog Automotive - Mobile Mechanic Services★ 5.018 reviews · Mobile
  5. D&M Mobile Auto Techs★ 5.017 reviews · Mobile & Shop

The best reviewed business in Kansas City right now is Stallion Mobile Tire, at 5.0 stars across 128 reviews. Every shop above clears 4.3 stars with at least 15 reviews behind it, which is the point where a rating starts meaning something. Plenty of shops hold five stars on four reviews. That is not the same thing.

Of the 68 businesses listed in Kansas City, there are 48 that will come to you, 33 with a workshop you drive to, 4 RV and trailer shops and 5 tire shops. None has been claimed by its owner yet, so the hours and phone numbers come from public records. An unclaimed listing is not a worse business. It just means we built the record and nobody has corrected it yet.

Getting a Car Fixed in Kansas City

Independent shops in Missouri usually charge $85 to $125 an hour for labor, which is below the national average. A quote is the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts. At Missouri rates, a timing belt replacement runs about $405 to $1,075 and an alternator replacement runs about $265 to $760 for a midsize car.

Of the 61 Kansas City listings that post their hours, 43 open on Saturday and 35 on Sunday. 36 open before 8 AM on weekdays, which helps if you need to drop the car off before work.

43 businesses in Kansas City have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 31 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 90 or more reviews. A shop with a long history and a 4.6 is a safer call than a perfect 5.0 from a handful of people.

For work a general shop may turn away, Kansas City has 1 transmission shop, 5 tire shops, 4 RV and trailer shops and 8 heavy duty and fleet shops. Call ahead with the year, make and model so you do not waste a trip.

Cars more than 10 model years old or with 150,000 miles or more need a safety inspection every two years, with even model years tested in even years and odd in odd years. Cars registered in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County and Jefferson County also need an emissions test on the same schedule. A 2026 bill to end safety inspections in 2027 did not become law. Details are on the Missouri Department of Revenue and Missouri State Highway Patrol site.

Owning a Car in Kansas City

Summers here bring about 47 days at 90°F or hotter. That is enough to finish off a tired battery or a weak AC compressor, so get both checked in spring rather than on the first hot day.

Lows drop to freezing on about 93 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over. Kansas City averages 11 inches of snow, and road salt eats brake lines, exhaust and the underside of the car. Rinse the underbody through the winter and have the brake lines looked at whenever the car is up on a lift.

The average commute in Kansas City is 22 minutes each way, and 70% of workers drive there alone.

Junkyards and Salvage Yards Near Kansas City

10 junkyards, salvage yards and used parts yards within 13 miles of Kansas City, the most reviewed first. Pick-n-Pull, Pick-n-Pull and Pick-n-Pull are pull it yourself yards, where you bring your own tools and pull the part.

Pre-Purchase Inspections in Kansas City

Buying a used car in Kansas City? PPI Auto, our sister company, sends an inspector to the car for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. That is a 122 point check with a full scan and a road test, and the report comes back the same day. Dealer lot, private seller or auction, it works the same.

There are 538 car lots within 13 miles of Kansas City, and 495 of them sell used. PPI Auto grades 260 of them A to F from their reviews, and 44 get an F. See the Kansas City dealer grades before you go look at a car.

Missouri requires inspections, but a passed sticker only means the car met the minimum on that day. It says nothing about the transmission, the frame or a leak that starts next month.

How do I check a mechanic's license in Kansas City?

Ask the shop for any state or city license it holds and get the estimate in writing before work starts. None of the 68 listings in Kansas City has given us a license number yet. Rules differ by state, so check with Missouri's consumer protection office if a shop's answer sounds wrong.

Besides checking listings, we run free study guides and certification exams for mechanics, publish repair cost guides by state, and give shops software to send written quotes and invoices. 48 of the Kansas City listings come to you, 65 carry a rating with the review count beside it, and the order on this page follows the published rules on our How We Rank page.

How much does a mobile mechanic cost in Kansas City?

Most mobile mechanics in Kansas City price by the job, not the hour. Independent shop labor in Missouri runs about $85 to $125 an hour, and mobile prices usually land in the same range for the same repair. Some add a trip fee and some fold it in. Ask for one total price, trip included, before they drive out. Our repair cost guides show typical parts and labor for each job.

Is $100 an hour fair for mechanic labor in Missouri?

Yes. Typical independent shop labor in Missouri is about $85 to $125 an hour, so $100 is inside the normal range. Dealers often charge more. What matters most is the total. Ask how many hours the job is quoted at and compare that with a second shop.

Who is the best mobile mechanic in Kansas City?

By rating and review count together, the strongest mobile mechanics in the Kansas City area right now are A's On The Way Mobile Tire & Roadside (5.0 stars, 395 reviews), Zohr Mobile Tire Shop (4.9 stars, 1,139 reviews) and Stallion Mobile Tire (5.0 stars, 128 reviews). We weigh stars against how many reviews back them, so a perfect score on a few reviews does not win.

What are the downsides of using a mobile mechanic?

Some work needs a shop. Transmission swaps, engine rebuilds, alignments and anything that needs a lift go to a garage. Bad weather can push back a driveway job, and you need a safe, legal place to park where the mechanic can work. Many mobile mechanics also run a shop, or will tell you up front when a job needs one.

How do I shop around for car repairs?

Get a written estimate that lists parts and labor. Call two or three shops with the same estimate and ask each for a total price. Ask what warranty comes with the parts and the work. Read recent reviews, not just the star score. A shop that explains the problem clearly and shows you the old part is a good sign.
