Had mackins auto do a injector replacement on my 2000 international dt466e. Had broke down 2 doors down from owners house so did at his home, after not being able to get ahold of him for several days via phone, I went to house. Found hood open valve.cover, turbo and another orifice open with no plastic, towel or anything covering g them. I woke Ian when I arrived so the state I found it in was at very least overnight, more.likely few days. Was told injectors from oreillys were wrong injectors so was getting them from diesel connection out of Ohio. Come to find out later that wasn't the case and supposedly came from advanced auto. Called advanced in town and no record of purchase of injectors for my vehicle. Few days later got text showing truck running and went and paid $4500+ and jumped in to drive away. Roughly 1 mile down road started pulling codes and went into limp mode. Beginning to wonder if injectors were replaced as I have asked Ian for receipt for injectors so as to have if and when I sell truck. For some reason can't get him to respond or send over a receipt.

Thank you, Ian, for coming out to see us despite a family emergency. He gave us an honest recommendation to try and save us money. Hope it works. But if it doesn't, we'll give him a call.

Ian is legit. Had a bushing for my gear shifter go out while I was at work. He came out within the hour with the part in-hand and had it working within 10 minutes. Will be coming to him to get some more work done.

Ian saved my kids!! We are from WA state and my daughter and her boyfriend broke down in post falls on their way home. They called the closest mechanic shop and Ian answered right away. He told them to save money on a tow truck and he would come to them. He showed up and said they through a rod and the motor was shot. He took them home with him and took care of them until we figured out what we wanted to do as far as the car and getting them home. He offered to load the car up on a trailer and my kids in his truck and bring them back to Washington for a more then fair fee. During times like these, he gave me hope. He reminded me there are still good people in this world willing to help others in a time of need. As a mom, I couldn’t be more thrilled my kids met Ian. He saved the day! I couldn’t be more grateful.Service: Auto engine diagnostic

Ian is absolutely wonderful and I fully recommend him. I am from out of town and my coolant system cracked when I was in Post Falls on a Saturday. I called him and he actually answered. He came over to where I was staying and diagnosed what he thought was wrong. I limped my car to his shop and he worked on Saturday and Sunday to get it done. He even changed my oil and serpentine belt (which he did not charge me for) because the belt was old and to replace it would require taking the engine all apart again. He is super honest and personable, which is hard to find in this business.Services: Auto engine diagnostic

Called Ian’s automotive and told him my breaks were horrible and I needed to get them done before work tomorrow due to using my car all day at work he was the only place that I could get into and for a great price! Ian ordered the parts and started around 7pm and had them done in under an hour! I would highly recommend this business for any automotive needs!!Services: Brakes

Excellent service..! Showed up ten minutes after I called and was done really quickly. He ended up only charging me a third of what his original estimate was. I will be calling him for all of my auto repair needs, on all of our vehicles from now on.Service: Electrical

A great experience. We came into town for the weekend and our AC compressor blew out as we pulled into our rental. Even though it was the weekend, Mackins Automotive was able to come to our place, diagnose the problem, order a new part, and install it before we had to head home. Highly recommend this service.Services: Auto engine diagnostic

He was super friendly and helpful, really made an effort to make sure I could have full function of everything in my older car. He installed a new car stereo and did some work on my connections. I recommend Mackins for electrical work, and will use again for sure.Service: Electrical

Ian was a godsend. You won't find a more honest mechanic or nicer guy. He went way out of his way to help us out, and made what could have been a horrible vacation a great memory for my family.Services: Electrical
