I had two kittens stuck in the dashboard of my van. I called them and they squeezed me in even though they were super busy. They were AMAZING and saved both the kittens. They spent HOURS taking everything apart and putting it back together and just said to buy them lunch! I will definitely be recommending this shop to everyone I know. What amazing people!! Can’t thank them enough for the help.
Called and explained my situation, I was told they couldn’t get it in until next week. I was so frustrated because I had purchased the car making this noise that had gotten louder overtime. I was told I could drop it off that day if I wasn’t going to be driving and that way if a spot opened up it would be looked at sooner. I dropped it off that same day a couple hours before closing. I was made fully aware it might be there until the end of the following week. At that point the dealership I purchased it from was say my only option was to trade it and that the two warranty I had purchased would not cover it and the dealer mechanic said they did do everything that needed done. So I dropped it off hoping and praying but also upset the dealership told me at purchase this vehicle had been through general inspection and was GMC certified vehicle. Then on Monday I received a call and had several options to pick from. The entire time I was complaining my entire exhaust needed to be done. They fixed it right away and I had my vehicle back before the day they was supposed to be looking at it and she ran and sounded better then she did at time of repair. I have to be honest they were so patient through my frustration got to my car earlier than scheduled explained the problem and my options clearly and my vehicle is better than it was at time of purchase. Not to mention the dealership offered to trade it so they saved me a ton of car payments. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them from now on. So happy I was referred to this place a hidden gem.
Good service!Informative about repairs!Good follow up after repairs are done!
On a recent trip to Racine my water pump went out and on very short notice Govednik Auto got truck in to the shop. I know they were very busy and still got me in for repairs right away. They did an excellent job and were kind, courteous, and very professional. I would recommend Govednik automotive to anyone who gas automotive trouble. Shout out to Bianca at the front desk. Thankyou all.
Great service on my vehicle that needed general repairs and maintenance. Currently my vehicle runs smoothly with no problems. I have taken my other vehicle here in the past and had no issues and will continue to use Govednik in the future. The owner Brian and receptionist are easy to talk with very professional.
I hate to be that guy but in simple terms they tried to get me to rebuild a transmission when all it needed was a software update...This was after telling me it seemed fine.Please be more honest to your customers.
I had a great experience. Super professional and kind crew. Thanks for all of your help!
Thorough diagnostics and worked with me on prioritizing repairs.
Great job. Personable service. Took time to explain everything.
This place is awesome! I cannot thank them enough for helping get me back in my truck. Unfortunately my truck caught fire a while back and Govendiks replaced all the necessary parts and fixed my truck for me! And at a lower cost than I anticipated. I cant thank them enough. I will return with ANY major repairs I ever need again! super thank you to Bianca and Brian! - Craig and Paula
Strut replacement front and back..Very nice people wonderful service. I would definitely recommend using this company for your auto repairsMerry Lewis
Govednik Automotive Inc. did a great job, overall great customer service a positive experience, yes I would definitely recommend them.
Brian runs an amazing shop. Always clean and service costs are great. Bianca is amazing and knowledgeable. Would recommend to any one looking for good work at a great price
This place went above and beyond to help out with our sonata that unfortunately had engine issues. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs any repairs of any kind. They look out for their customers and help in every way.
Splendid communication! I felt like they liked my CJ as much as I do.
Dependable and knowledgeable. Brian is the best.
Paid over 2000 to fix oil leak, in BMW. 3 months later oil is still leaking, he now wants 1400 more dollars to GUESS where the leak is, NOT! Claims he is a Certified in BMW but he didnt do the work. Do not take your import here. I want my money back so I can take to dealer, no more nonsense.
Not only did they go above and beyond the scope of our original agreement in terms of solving the problems with my car, (at no extra charge), the final bill was actually less than the original quote.I cant say enough good things about them. This was the most positive experience Ive had in a long time.Brian and his team are the greatest. I will definitely be coming back!Thanks again for all your help.
Weve been going here for years. Very knowledgeable with reasonable prices.
Used them before, was satisfied then. Used them recently and Im satisfied again. Price was right and the warranty is excellent. All around a great deal and great place to go to.
Outstanding and thorough!!I took my car in as the a/c wasnt working and I knew that it required some additional work. Brian did a great job with an initial evaluation providing what needed to be done, prioritized accordingly with numbers that would not break the bank.Bottom line....this is where Ill take my cars in for service. Honest and to the point.....refreshing!
I am so very happy with my service and my car is running and driving great. I own a 1956 dodge and was looking desperately for a repair shop to work on my classic car it needed brakes, gas tank, and steering and they were able to finds parts and repaired my car and as stated above it is driving better than it ever has since I owned the car.
Gave me the run around. Was trying to do an engine swap on my step daughters jeep called them on the 4th they told me they would get me quote and call me back i waited until the 8th called them back they said they were having trouble finding a motor with low miles. Called again on the 12th same thing. Finally called back on the 15th and talked to a different person who said she didnt even think they did engine swaps she took my info and said she would talk to her boss and get back to me that night. Its been a week and still havent heard from her. Called another place they took my info called me back within 15 mins and well the jeep is going there today. Wont be using Govednik ever
Transmission is a very tedious job to replace on an automobile. They worked on it until it was right. Though it was brought in several times because of leaks, a bad kit and other abnormalities, they got it on the road again. Road tested and now it is running smoothly.
First time customer of Govednik...went looking for a new shop to service our older vehicles and found them on an internet search with stellar reviews, so we thought wed give them a try. To my surprise they were able to schedule the appointment within 2 days. They diagnosed my problem, gave me a quote for the work, and also recommended additional work that I was due for and would be cheaper to perform in conjunction with the repair work I needed. I really appreciate being made aware of the maintenance needs of my vehicle. Amanda was very efficient and a good communicator via phone and text. So far their repairs have been successful 😁. Well be back.
Very professional, patient, and they work with you.
Fair pricing. Job done in a timely manner. Not over friendly but very professional and straight forward. Nice people. Most importantly job well done. Will go to Govednik again with future repairs.
I have taken two of my vehicles to Govednik Automotive for major repairs, and both times the repairs were done well and on or before the time they said. I compared their prices to other mechanics in the area and they are very fair. They have earned my trust and business!
We were set to drive 6 hours and the vehicle wouldnt shift out of first. Tried a few things myself and frustrated we headed back home before even getting into town. Van was dropped off in the morning and the next day we got a call with a very reasonable estimate. Repairs were finished quickly with time allowed for parts delivery. My most favorable automotive service experience in decades. Thanks Brian and crew.
Very friendly & detail oriented.Great place to take care of a variety of automobile needs & not just transmissions.
Always a pleasure doing business at Govedniks. Best place in town for great service, honest pricing, and detailed information about your vehicle.
It was a good place to have work done on your vehicle very friendly people n they did a good job. Thanks guys
We have been having our cars repaired at Govedniks for a couple of years. We have always had good results. This last month one of our cars presented a real diagnostic challenge. Brian took the time to really delve into what the issue was that was causing the car to not start(at the most inopportune times for no apparent reason) We truly appreciated his help and care! He went above and beyond and our car is working great now.They take great pride in their customer service and they should!
Hands down best in town 👍👌
I have used Govedniks for years. I keep coming back because I get great service for a great price. They are very good at what they do. I have never had a problem they could not correct. My biggest problem, they rebuilt my transmission in my diesel, Ford Excursion. Runs as smooth as it ever did.
They were great!!!
I just had them complete some more work on my car and I am so pleased with the time they got it done and the quality of the work. For me it seems like you’re not just a customer but someone that they care to do good work for and be proud of. In my eyes they have succeeded. Their prices are fair. I will continue to have all my car needs done at their garage
Installed air shocks for towing.
Reasonable prices. Close to home.
Would recommend anyone bring their vehicle here. Quality work and they saved me almost $400 dollars! Will only be taking my vehicle here from now on. Thank you again!
This Is my second time there the shop do quality work and for a good price
Even though I was told that you had many cars that were waiting to be fixed ( after I had a weekend break down). I very much appreciate that you had it towed, diagnosed and fixed very next day. Thank you Brian and Amanda!
Wonderful service. Very helpful and gives good advice. Goes above and beyond in customer service. We highly recommend them!
Best place in town to bring your car!!! Great prices, honest employees, and they complete your work in a timely fashion. Only people I trust with our cars
I brought my Audi in with a pretty random, intermittent problem in the wheel, and they were able to diagnose it beyond the numerous possibilities and get it perfect the first time. Not only that, but they went above and beyond and looked at the vehicle as a whole, and brought something to my attention that I had no knowledge of, even after two other shops had seen that area up-close just months ago.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I would gladly bring any vehicle here in the future.
Clearly explained light electric issue with an AFTERMARKET HID / LED headlight system. Clearly explained the issue was not in the light assembly as I had tested all bulbs, ballasts and lights. Issue was in the relays / battery connection / fuse. Nothing to do will the fully operable silicon sealed light assemblies. Asked if they had someone good with a multimeter. They said yes, drop car on Monday. I explained I needed to leave on a work trip and was instructed to drop the car over the weekend which I did. Didnt receive a phone call for days then was told they dont have time to work on aftermarket lights. At no time did they offer any solution after keeping my car for a week. There was never any discussion about parts or hourly cost which I would have gladly paid... for good work.Terrible communication and atrocious customer service. Other than that, brilliant work. Thanks guys.
Been using Govednik for 6 years - 3 vehicles. Couldn’t ask for better service!!
Andy had my brakes fixed up and ready to go in no time. Reasonable prices, solid work from quality mechanics. Locally owned and operated. Support the local economy! 😁
Fast, inexpensive service. Had my car back in 24 hours and lower than price expected. Besides the work requested they did a 27 point vehicle inspection. Their work enabled my car to pass emissions. Highly recommend.
There was a small annoying issue with my transmission. They had two suggestions after driving it to verify my concern. One possible fix was something they could not do due to it being master CPU related requiring the dealership and another possible fix they could do. Instead of just immediately starting with what they could do they suggested I try the dealership first without charging me for the diagnosis. Had they suggested it I would have paid them to try their way first but they had the integrity to forgo work for themselves and send me away. It turned out their fix was the appropriate one in the end and I was happy to pay them because they had been straight with me. I got an appointment the next day after calling and it was completed quickly and successfully. I have a new mechanic for life.
My husband takes all of our vehicles here! Brian is very knowledgeable, friendly and experienced! We been a customer for years and plan to for many more years!
The service manager, Amanda, rocks this place. So rare to find someone so intuitive, efficient, technically skilled and effective in communicating with co-workers, suppliers and customers. The work done was first rate and on time. Many Thanks, Ill be back.
This would be the second time Ive taken my car to Govedniks. My first experience was great. I had quite a bit of work to be done, and it was completed in a very reasonable time and for a great price. When different problems arose with my car, it was an easy decision to bring it back to Govedniks. I find the staff very friendly and helpful. As with my first visit, information about the problems and up front solutions and pricing are impressive. They have also checked and reminded me of other issues that may develop, and what can wait until a later date. I would absolutely recommend Govedniks to anyone looking for a place to bring, and continue bringing your vehicle to for all of your repair needs. Thank you Amanda and Brian!
Ive taken vehicles here for years and have always gotten great service and pricing. Id recommend them to anyone.
I took my vehicle back for the three week check-up to keep the transmission warranty validated. I think this is a good idea and shows how professional and caring they are. Always honest and very competent service. I recommend them highly.
Thanks again for a job well done. You have the type of service that I like spending money on/with you.
The service was quick and the receptionist was friendly. It was a little expensive.
Job completed within estimate. Phone calls not always responded to promptly. Good mechanical repair. I plan to return for other repairs when needed.
I’m fairly new to the area and had to stray away from my old mechanic. Hesitantly I tried Govednik and was NOT disappointed! They fixed up my Scion promptly, well, and fairly cheap. They were extremely friendly and helpful to my boyfriend who took care of my car. Will be returning for future car issues when they arise and recommending them to a friend who also recently moved into the area!
Wonderful auto garage! Knowledge and experienced personnel, convenient prices!
The guys are very knowledgeable and their communication and follow up is great! Recommended!
Very happy with the diagnostics and repair for my father’s SUV. Excellent customer service!
Went in for an estimate. We suspected it was the torque converter when in essence it was solenoids... Manager went out with me for a test drive and quoted me $3,700 for a new transmission... Outrageous!
Great company to go to that knows what theyre doing. Very happy. Will continue to keep going.
I first came to Govedniks when my 2002 Toyota Tundras radiator failed and antifreeze mixed into my transmission fluid. When this happed my truck stalled as I was making a left hand turn off of Greenbay Rd. Thankfully the road I turned on was downhill and I was able to coast out of the way of oncoming traffic. Scary. Anyway I had it towed to Govedniks after looking up multiple reviews of the nearest shops near me. I chose Govedniks because they had excellent reviews. Reliable, professional, friendly, and prices that were honest, for the work they performed.The Govedniks shop is somewhat in a difficult location on Durand but its not to hard to get to. Regardless, its worth it. You walk in to their tiny little office, but the service people have very friendly, patient personalities. Ive been to other shops and at times I just felt like they werent there to help me but to just get the job and make the best buck they can. But this wasnt the case with Govedniks. They were professional, and gave me time to think things through and about what I wanted to do in regards to the work they offered as well as for their price.Auto work is normally expensive regardless of where you go. So I normally do my own maintenance. But the price to fix my radiator I felt it was worth it. And I felt that the People who I met In the shop; Brian, Greg, and forgive me, I think her name was Amy, had lots of experience and would do a high quality job. So I went ahead and had them replace the radiator along with related work. They were quick and followed through with how long they estimated the work would take. I enjoyed the experience so much, and the ease of the visits, that I couldnt help but continue to bring the truck over for other routine maintenance that I would other wise do myself.Honest Five Stars for me. If your considering going to go to Govedniks, check them out. Im sure youll be very satisfied.P.s another story for later. But in January months later. I was hauling a light load of concrete on Greenbay rd. to take for recycling and then my Transmission died... while making a left hand turn onto 21st Street. Thankfully and Happily I got through that experience safely. And that time, I new exactly where I was going to tow my truck, to Govedniks.
Brian and his guys do a great job... and possessing a decent amount of auto repair knowledge myself, you can take that as a reliable assessment. I highly recommend them.
Easy to work with. Work done in a timely manner when extra work was needed they called to confirm what needed to be done and what could wait. Definitely do not cut corners they make sure the work is done right the first time!
Had Brian & crew swap out fluid, filter, and gasket on my Toyota Tacoma. Now it shifts smooth as silk, just like it did when released from the factory. You bet Ill be back. Gr8 people, quality work.
After having my aunts car towed in Brian and his team were able to turn a bad situation around with their repair options and willingness to assist in what ever ways they could. They truly went above and beyond. Thank you for the help. I would highly recommend Govednik Automotive to anyone in the area.
Just drove in and they got my RAV4 in the same day.
Honest service at a fair price. They did excellent work on my transmission and kept me updated through the whole process. Id highly recommend Govednik to anyone!
Very satisfied with repairs done, cost,etc. Will definitely use Governor Auto again
Repairs done promptly and car back to normal. First rate service
Went in because my rear brakes were grinding, they were able to fix my car on the same day. I really appreciated the effort !
The oil change seems a bit overpriced even with a $25 coupon, but everyone was nice and they did a good work fixing my sisters car!
These guys are very reasonably priced, quick, friendly, and above all - honest. I really enjoyed my experience with them and definitely would recommend them highly!!!
Delivered as promised great staff
Great experience, my Lexus ex 330 runs like dream. Thankyou
I heard a lot of good things about this repair shop unfortunately, my experience wasnt so good. I asked Brian when would be a good time to actually bring my car and have them see to and work on it. It was 3 days before they even started diagnostics. After a WEEK of my car being there all he had to show for it was a hand written list of problems. I spent about $400 in a car rental with nothing to show for it. Worst experience ever. I just took my car and left.
To begin with - these guys are First Class all the way.We own a 2006 Lincoln Zephyr - with about 98,000 original miles - which developed a severe engine problem. After two reputable opinions form other repair shops - we were about to head for the salvage yard - until I read about Govednik Automotive in an on-line review. I called and explained what I “knew”, based on the other assessments, to Brian who said that he would be interested in taking a look and making a diagnosis.Govednik’s arranged for a local tow (at a contract rate); the next day they were “into it”. Phase one was a compression check which indicated that the engine could produce... then the work to correct ignition & combustion issues... thoroughly quoted before any work began (parts & labor). That work was done but there was still a timing issue - which on further review was described a “major” - mainly due to the labor involved to remove, repair & reinstall. Brian suggested exploring a used engine and assured that the work that had already been done would complement the work that would be done.We were offered a couple of options - Govednik’s are selective in the sources they use for finding this type of part, and we agreed on a used engine, with only 50,000 miles, from a reliable source with a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. The work was completed, along with a few other items they found along the way (no charge) and the final cost was exactly to the estimate - no surprises.While this type of repair is one no one wants to have to encounter - especially cost-wise - I can confidentially state that Govednik’s did their best to address the repair - with quality, value and with timely & efficient communication. Their approach is customer focused, honest and courteous. I am impressed and they have gained a customer “for life” when it comes to the repair and maintenance of our vehicles. I highly recommend Govednik Automotive without reservation.
Had transmission problems that ended up being bigger than I had anticipated. They showed me the bad parts, explained why it had happened and did an excellent job of rebuilding the transmission. When I went to leave it was just 4 degrees. My truck, a diesel, got across the street and died because the fuel lines had gelled up. Brian helped me out and back on my way. Thanks to Gregg, the mechanic, Brian and the rest of the crew.
As a single female, Ive always struggled to find a mechanic that I could trust. After my first call and then visit to Govednik, I knew I had finally found a great mechanic that I could trust. Brian is great. He talks to you about the work that needs to be done, and I always feel comfortable leaving my car in their hands. I would highly recommend anyone going to Govednik.
Fixed a hard to find intermittent problem. Brian has never failed to fix my cars.
Weve found our go-to Auto Mechanic - great family-owned and knowledgable plus close to home! Any automotive needs- Govednik is the place to go! Thanks for the great service!
Good price plus a solid warrantee on a transmission rebuild. Brian is very professional and knowledgeable. The job was done on time and at the estimated cost.
Great work with prices that will not break the bank.
Got me in quickly, and performed work in a timely manner. Would trust them with future work.
A great family owned shop. Good prices and service.
I have been a customer for years and I am continually amazed at the exceptional level of service. They have the highest levels of expertise and integrity!
They did a great job troubleshooting the issue and finding the problem quickly and fixing it very happy with the service great job
Very friendly, courteous and hardworking guys. They will always go above and beyond to make you satisfied with their work.
When ever I needed to have work done they have always done a good job.
First class service, up front repair information and fair pricing, you can still get all three from a business.
Trustworthy repair service. I like this shop...the staff, the efficiency and the honesty!
Couldnt put no stars. Was there not more than 3 weeks ago. Had a motor put in spent over 2600 on it to have it break down on me. Had to replace the starter, alternator.....its in a shop right now. I wanted to go to this place first Rightous Auto great reliable people that back their work. They were busy at the time when I needed my truck. I could have gone there because the time it was done they Rightous Auto could have done it for me. Lesson learned. I feel ripped off and nothing no woranty to help it be fixed! I will no longer be going here first and last time. Was told I was given a deal on our original agreement on the price but some how in the end it exceeded it by 200! Hmmmmm
Good service and fair price.
Did what they said and didnt push any necessary work or products. Was all done in a timely manner.
Quick! Reliable!
Two good experiences so far. Fair, reasonably priced, no bull.
