What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from real customers
"I've been going to Duke & Bob's for over 24 years. They are extremely honest and do excellent work at fair prices. I wouldn't trust my vehicles to anyone else."
"As a woman, I really appreciate how respectful and honest they are. No talking down to me, no trying to sell me things I don't need. Just straight-up good service."
"Brian is a fantastic mechanic. He diagnosed my car issue over the phone and had it fixed the same day I brought it in. Super affordable too."
"These guys are the real deal. They could have charged me for a bunch of stuff I didn't need, but instead they saved me money and only fixed what was actually broken. Rare to find that kind of honesty."
"I'm a UMKC student and they gave me a discount, which really helped. They also took time to explain what was wrong with my car so I could learn. Really appreciate that!"
"Quick, professional, and fair. What more can you ask for? Duke & Bob's has been our family's go-to shop for years."
