“I typically only write reviews if I have an amazing experience or really negative experience. This review of Modern Auto Service in Fruitland, ID is the former. Kevin and all the folks at Modern Automotive went way above and beyond any expectations I had.
I was on an extended road trip when my Sprinter van experienced sudden power loss. I called several repair shops in the area. While most of the shops I spoke with seemed to want to help me, they said they were back logged for several weeks. I explained my circumstances to Kevin and he immediately grasped the difficulty of the situation I was in. Kevin told me to swing by the shop and they would find a way to fit me in. This was about 3:00PM. He explained that their mechanics were in training that day but they would fit me in first thing the next day.
I showed up at 700AM the next day and sure enough, they had me first in line. Modern Auto Service also provided me with a loaner vehicle at no additional charge. The problem ended up being a blown out hose for the turbo. A less transparent and honorable shop could easily have said I needed a new turbo. Which would have cost more than 10 times as much. By 4:00PM the day after the problem occurred, I was on the road again.
I am so very grateful to Kevin and everyone at Modern Auto Service in Fuitland, ID. I wish they were in my hometown. If every auto repair shop had the integrity, transparency, and honesty of Modern Auto Service I feel people would not dread taking their vehicle to be repaired.”
“I’ve taken 2 of our vehicles here, they’re professional and very reasonably priced. I will continue to go here first. Local Toyota dealer has absolutely insane pricing.”
“Shout out to Autotranz in Parma! We took our truck to the dealer. They quoted us 17k for a new transmission. My brother in law suggested taking it to Autotranz. We had it towed. Long story short nothing was wrong with the transmission. The 4x4 fork needed replaced, with a few other problems that were addressed. We got our truck back today for 1/4 of the price quoted, and it runs like new. I literally ruined my holidays by working every overtime shift I could manage thinking it was gonna cost a fortune to repair our truck. Thank you to the honest professionals at Autotranz! Yes, the truck needs a good bath, but I am just happy it's in my driveway.”
“Despite all of the negative reviews that I read and as an independent woman, I decided to try out Rick. As my mechanic for over a decade retired. Referred by two different individuals. I must say I made the right choice. Rick explained everything to me as to what was happening to my car and was super reasonable!! I have found my mechanic for sure! Highly recommended!!!”
“Quality maintenance. Friendly and affordable. Hometown and fixed right
From oil changes to swapping out my snow tires summer tires
Glad I do business with them.”
“We were passing through on the highway when our engine light came on. They made space for us in their busy shop, correctly diagnosed and repaired the problem, gave me a list of things that needed attention soon and had us back on the road in about an hour. They charged a very fair price, and seemed genuinely pleased to be of service.”
“Hello Friends,I had a Big Block Chevy machined here. It was an experimental turbo build, no blueprint. They were super helpful and easy to work with. I recommend this shop to anyone with automotive repair needs. They are willing to do the work!Thank you, Kenny King”
“Thank you to the staff at this location for going to jump start my mom’s car same day and the second time being last minute! We really appreciate it. They have always done a great job at servicing my family for years!”
