I came to Hays for Thanksgiving. My Jeep broke down. These guys came in less than an hour to tow my Jeep. This was Monday. By Tuesday afternoon my Jeep was ready. Being that I was from out of town, I asked around for recommendations. Rein's was everyone's suggestion. Thank you Bill and the crew. You're the best!!!!

We took our truck to Rein's for a timing chain replacement that was estimated by them to take about a week. Other than needing a new timing chain, the truck was in great shape. Specifically, it started (we drove it there) and it had no oil leaks. After 4 weeks and taking out the engine twice to replace, and then adjust, the timing chain, the truck would no longer start. Rein's could not find the issue so they took it to the Ford Dealership (without asking us). Ford had it for 2.5 weeks and could not find the issue either. With almost seven weeks invested and no resolution, we towed the truck home to Topeka. Over 3 weeks, 2 more shops and $2200 later, the truck now starts. The problem was the harmonic balancer, which clearly had impact damage and a broken bolt. The harmonic balancer had to have been removed in Rein's shop in order to replace the timing chain. It was either dropped, or had the engine sat on it, or been otherwise abused, and the bolt broken off when they put it back on. That's the 'good' news. The bad news is this truck that had zero oil leaks when we dropped it off, is now leaking oil from everywhere and is not safe to drive. The shop said thery can't tell if there are no seals or if they're all installed incorrectly. They estimate it will be another $4,000 to pull the engine out and fix them all. However, after seeing the result of the work done at Rein's, they are not interested in pulling the engine to do the work and assuming the liability. I may not be able to find any shop who is willing to do the work, once I disclose how the engine came to be in the state that it's in. Rein's was non-communicative the whole time the truck was in Hays. Every update I ever got was because I called them. They didn't even tell me they took it to Ford. I found that out when I called. They promised to call me back many times over the course of almost 7 weeks and never did, not even once. When I called to tell them about the damage that was found, they were dismissive and again promised to call me back, but did not, so I have filed claims with the Attorney General's Office and the Better Business Bureau. I wanted to avoid filing these claims and writing a negative review. I wanted to work something out with them. But this shop will NOT call me back no matter how many times I ask them to. This is the truck my college student son drives and is his only means of transportation. He absolutely loves this truck. He bought it from his grandma. It was his grandpa's truck before he died. If we are unable to find a shop to work on it because of the sloppiness of the work done in Rein's shop, and we have to scrap an otherwise great truck, he's going to be devastated. And none of us look forward to telling his grandma the story of its demise. If we can find someone to pull the engine and fix all the oil leaks, we will have spent over $6200, and 10 weeks (plus however long the job takes) to get the truck running when it should have been $3,000 and one week for a new timing chain.

Took my vehicle to Jim to fix my Air Conditioner and an oil leak. $$$ later Air conditioner is still not working properly and my vehicle still has a bad oil leak. Also when I picked my vehicle up for the second time there were charges on my invoice for the estimate ($50) and powerwashing to look for the leak (another $50) that I didn't know about. I do not recommend spent over $1500 here and the issue is still not resolved. I messaged about the extra fees. He said he would look at the invoice and get back with me. He never did. When my car started overheating the same week they fixed the oil leak his response was he can't fix everything wrong with my vehicle.Service: Air conditioning

I stopped in here with my campervan when I heard creaking from my front wheel. The gentlemen delayed their lunch break to help me out, assuring me that it was just my new bushings wearing in. They got me back on the road to Denver AND at no charge! Great group of guys with a nice clean shop. Highly recommend!

Absolutely come here! I can honestly say they are the best mechanic I've ever been to. As someone who knows nothing about cars, they made sure I understood what was wrong with my vehicle when I took it in. They showed me a model of the part that had to be replaced and pointed out the specific thing that was wrong with that part. When I picked it up, they showed me before and after pictures of that part. Highly, highly recommend!

They were very considerate and took their time to make sure I understood what the issue of my vehicle is. They even brought out a spare part and pointed to where the issue is. Definitely recommend this place!

My 18-year-old son broke down in his 1995 Yukon on I-70, on a Saturday afternoon, while on his way to Colorado. Although Rein's was closed for the weekend, someone still answered the phone and sent Richard out with a tow truck to get him off the highway. Richard noticed the drive shaft was missing and took my son back out to the highway to look for it. The drive shaft was eventually found but damaged beyond repair. When the shop opened on Monday, they got his truck in early, sourced the parts (for a 25 year old, part specific vehicle), repaired everything that was damaged and had him on the road by 3:15pm that afternoon. I'm so grateful this is the shop the truck was towed to. I couldn't believe they could find the all the parts and put Nick and Jim on the job to get them all installed so quickly. My son was able to finish his drive and made it to school on time. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my son and his Yukon! And a special shout out to Richard, the nicest, most genuine tow truck driver around.
