Manning Auto Repair

Brought my minivan to Manning Auto repair after searching for mechanic near me in Google Maps with the 5 star rating and were happy with the repair and cost. I like his honesty and straightforward manner. I would bring my cars here for repairs in the future.

Great shop!!! Excellent customer service, professional and knowledgeable. Ben explained what he was going to do to to find and then fix the issues. Fair pricing for the work. This is now my go to place!

We had a brake issue and weren’t exactly sure what was causing it. Ben quickly diagnosed the problem — warped rotors — and explained everything clearly. He not only fixed the issue but also completed an oil and filter change and checked all the other fluids. Our vehicle is 14 years old, and we've taken it to a couple of large auto service centers over the years. What sets Ben apart is the personal attention and trust you get from someone who runs his own shop. And it was like immediate attention. I really value that direct relationship — no upselling, just honest work at a fair price. And now the brakes perform as they should. Highly recommend!

Easily the best mechanic experience I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for someone honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your vehicle, go see Ben at Manning Auto. I brought in a lifted Toyota minivan, which is no small project, but Ben handled it with skill and care. He listened to what I needed for my adventure rig, worked within my budget, and used top-quality parts. Ben kept me in the loop the entire time and even took care of a few extra fixes he spotted, just to make sure everything was running right. No upselling, no pressure, just solid, trustworthy work. This is the kind of local business every town needs. Manning Auto is now my go-to shop, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone needing reliable repairs or upgrades.

How can any kind of mechanic get ONLY five star reviews? I was skeptical, but needed to learn whether an electrical harness could be installed on our new Prius. So I took a chance that the unanimous reviews were genuine. Ben carefully researched my problem for days before reporting back, patiently explaining the design flaw. (Wish Toyota would have explained that before we bought the car!) Despite the impossibility of connecting our Kuat bike rack to the car's wiring, I still needed our Walmart-purchased Curt trailer hitch installed. Ben worked us into his schedule quickly, gave me a lift home when I drove the car in, and connected our heavy Kuat bike rack to our newly installed hitch before I could even pick the car up. I learned a lot and paid less than I'd been quoted elsewhere. And,
