I've had Eric do work on our Hondas for at least 10 years. In August, '23, I thought I might have a potential problem with the TPMS system and wheels. In under 4 minutes, he stopped working on a job, came over to me, described the system, explained what & why I didn't & wouldn't have a problem, summarized the federal requirements that unintentionally led to my concern, and didn't charge me a dime. (Even his little dog that greets customers is nice!) Efficient, clear, direct, honest, knowledgeable, he doesn't waste anyone's time and won't do work not needed.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Best mechanic in town. Eric keeps his shop so clean I'm embarrassed to take a dirty vehicle to him! Won't "create" work. Does what is needed. Worth every penny.

Eric is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, patient, thorough, and most importantly: honest. I trust him completely. He takes pictures of my vehicles and walks me through, step-by-step, explaining what he has done, or hasn't done, and why. I was told I needed a lot of additional work by another business and took it to Eric for a second opinion. He said the vehicle was fine, showed me pictures of why, and charged not a penny. He misses nothing, and really evaluates your entire vehicle (whether you've asked him to or not). His passion for his profession and integrity are without question; he is simply the best in town. Because of this though, he does get very booked, so be sure to make appointments at least 4-6 weeks in advance. Thank you, Eric!

It is GREAT to find a mechanic!! A mechanic that means what he says and does what he means. Eric the owner is a straight shooter. I am very picky about my rigg. I learned from my dad, if you take care of your vehicle, it will take care of you. Thank you, Eric.Services: Brakes

I have taken my vehicles to Eric for many years, Honda's, Kias, Buick's and even my Ram diesel. He knows his stuff and does things the right way. He is honest and meticulous. I trust him without question. Today he installed airlift system on my Ram. He handed me the paperwork after a thorough explanation of what he did and how the system works. I notice he not only read the instructions but he had carefully checked off each step listed in the installation instructions. Like I said methodical. If you want the best there is, you have found it.

Great auto mechanic - highly recommended. Here's a big endorsement for Eric Kerchner, owner and Master Mechanic at Independence Automotive in Helena. Eric quickly diagnosed a problem with the rear stabilizer bar linkage of my Hyundai. And because I was about to leave on a long road trip to Oregon, he was able to find the needed part, had it shipped in and stayed late to do the repair -- all in time for me to depart on schedule. Amazing service, great mechanical competence AND really fair pricing. If you need car repair done right and honestly, I highly recommend you give him a call.

Eric is great! Extremely knowledgeable, competent, detailed and professional. Does things right the first time. Reasonable hourly rate and accurate quotes. If I can’t or don’t have time to do a repair or service myself, I won’t be going anywhere else.

Eric, has serviced our car for 4 years - he's kept a 1999 Honda CRV in great condition while keeping our budget in mind. He has helped me plan more expensive servicing so I can save up a little for it. Sometimes it's hard to get an appointment because he works alone - but it's definitely worth the wait. Say hi to Kodiak when you stop in - the most adorable Teddy Bear Pom you ever saw!
