I went to Sid's because it was recommended to me by a family member.My car's check engine light came on and it was the P0171 code; fuel trim system lean. I called Sid's and they told me it would be $40 for a diagnostic check, so I said sure and brought my car in about a day or two later. They took about 4 hours to get back to me after the 1 hour diagnostic they ran. They told me what the issue was with my vehicle, then proceeded to tell me the total for my diagnostic check would be $150. I told them that I was told the diagnostic would be $40 and they said: "Alright we can get it down to $80, how does that sound?". I wasn't going to continue going back and forth with the guy so I said screw it and paid the $80.I ended up buying the parts I need for the repair for $200 on Amazon and called Sid's back to get a quote on just the labor. I was put on hold and when they came back to the phone I was told that they would call me RIGHT back but they never did. I called 15 minutes before they closed and the shop was already closed for the day.All in all, they tried charging me $850 plus tax and fees for parts & labor for a job I only had to pay $250-$300 for with parts & labor. These guys suck and will try to clam you out of every penny if you don't know any better.

Went to Sid’s to get a car I recently purchased checked out. I knew it was a rough car, and just wanted to get some stuff squared away. Chris Z. who works here really helped me out. He told me straight up how the car was honestly too rough to repair anything and it would be unsafe to drive. It was nice to hear this info with no sugar coating and with honest regret to inform me how bad it was. Chris also was real kind and personable and stated he would be more than happy to help me find a car that was actually safe to drive in the future. It’s always great to have honest, kind, and personable people who ease your worry and will actually provide useful help for the future. Highly recommend Sid’s for anyone in BV and MKE looking for a local mechanic with great service!

My truck needed work. I dropped it off and was quoted 550. I went to pick it up and they told me 750. I told him about my original quote. Then he said he'd re-crunch the numbers and said 650. Sure, that's fine. I asked, what happened to cause the increase in price?, he didn't have an answer. He "crunched" the numbers again and said 600. This guy was making up numbers right in front of me. Zero merit. Just wanted to see how much he could get out of me. I don't trust this place. Never went back.

$95 to put on ONE new tire. That's not including the tire, only to put it on the rim. That's more than the dealership pricing. Sid's said they were having trouble getting it on and were just glad they didn't break it. Brett's in wauwatosa charged half that price for the exact same service last time I had a flat on the same car. Ask for upfront pricing.

Can't say enough about Sid's auto repair!My dealer said I needed brakes right away amd gave me a price quote. The team at Sid's had 2 mechanics check my car and said brakes could wait a few oil changes. I was blown away with the service!

We have been going to the same mechanic for over 15. When our vehicle recently broke down he wasn't available. I googled mechanics near m ed and saw this one, read reviews and saw he was in business for over 10 years. So we called him, he got us in fairly quickly. Fixed our vehicle sooner than expected. Very nice man. I think we will start going here for future repairs. Seems like someone we can really trust which is hard to find these days.

I took my car in for an alignment, they said they couldn’t do it until I replace my control arm( which was a month old) 6 mos later. I bought the part and asked them if they could put them in, they called me and said it’s not necessary right now to replace the control arm, however they suggested replacing a different sway bar link and bushing this time.(which was also just replaced!) so I told them to just do the alignment, since that is no longer a problem. When I picked up my car I immediately noticed my my wipers and blinkers no longer worked! I went back inside and with a smirk Sid told me he had nothing to do with it, and there was a problem with my blinkers blinking funny! Oh so he must have seen the blinker working, but now they do not! they do nothing! This happened while in his shop.

My headlight bulb went out last night, and the auto parts store was unable to change it for me. Three mechanics later, because they didn't have an opening, Sids was recommended, and they were awesome. Got the new bulb replaced in a few minutes, and didn't even charge me. Also noticed I had a low tire pressure light on, and filled those up for free as well. If this is how they treat new walk-in guests I definitely think I've found a new mechanic! Thanks so much!

I was out of town and stopped at Sid's for a concern with my tires. I didn't expect to be taken care of right away and I'm sure that's not always the case but the repairman did. Very helpful and I really appreciated it.Service: General repairs & maintenance

The mechanic explains in detail, without me having to ask, exactly what is going on with my car and what my options are. I am never pressured to have work done that isn't necessary and I feel like I get an accurate assessment and very fair prices. Everyone there is friendly and easy to talk to.

I had a bad experience here I brought my car in because it’s having starting issues however they couldn’t help me because they said they couldn’t replicate the issue. Of course right when I leave and turn the car off I have issues starting it back up again. Now I’m stuck in the same position with the same issue simply because they didn’t know how to fix it without seeing it broken even though I informed them of when and how the issue is happening and they could’ve replicated it themselves. They even recommended I leave it for a couple of days so that they could replicate the issue themselves however when I asked how to schedule that they denied that service as well. Overall a very confusing experience and they lost a paying customer.
