“These guys have worked on my cars since I was in high school. They’re awesome, super honest and fast too. My poor high mileage car wouldn’t be running without them and I will NEVER go anywhere else as long as I live here! I’m so used to seeing other shops upcharging everything, it’s nice to know these guys are not doing that. Much love!”
“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.”
“They were nice enough to make time to look at the truck and diagnosed it as the transmission. Opted to hold off on the repair for now. So I can't comment on quality.”
“Rick's Custom Rods and Repair have been wonderful to work with. I have a 1926 Ford model T. I drive it a lot. I can call and even on a time line they get me in. My alternator went out the day before the Payette cruise. They knew I needed one crome and got it in. I was able to cruise. The following day we had the cars in the park and got people's choice award. Couldn't have done it without them. I have used them a few times for this car. They are affordable, quick and they explain everything. They are knowledgeable and go over and beyond. It's hard finding mechanics that share your passion for history on wheels. I look forward to referring friends, family and those I meet along they way to them.”
“I will check out your car be doesn't find anything wrong it won't charge you. Usually can get your car in really quick if you have an emergency. Polite will take you home if you need to go home or pick you up to come get your car”
“Clayton helped me a ton when my car broke down and he was able to fix the problem with the leaking and my radiator. I’ve come multiple times and left happy”
“This is the best experience I’ve had in any Kenworth shop, and I’ve been to many throughout the entire country.
I brought my truck in with an engine light, and they got it in the bay and working on it within 5 minutes. They fixed the issue and got me back on the road in less than 2 hours!
Shelby was great, she helped me deal with the extended warranty and made sure I got my refund $$ for the repair. Awesome people and service!!!”
“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.”
“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”
“Everytime I have been to the nyssa location i have been very happy with the level of professionalism of the employees and any work that they have done to my vehicles, from simple tire rotation to a full lift install I have always been impressed with them. I was a mechanic for 20+ years so I inspect other mechanics work and I have never seen anything wonky or half butt done. Great shop, i hope they keep up the great work and attitudes.”
