After getting a quote for $3700 from the dealership I took my vehicle to Kyle for a second opinion. Within five minutes he was able to see the problem and was able to fix it within the week for less than $500. He was easy to communicate with and was always straight to the point. I will be recommending Ankylo Automotive to everyone I know!

Something else? Ask Kyle.
A straight answer before any work happens.
Call or come by.
Tell Kyle what you’re seeing — a noise, a light, a dealer quote you’re not sure about.
He looks, then shows you.
What’s urgent, what can wait, and what it’ll run you. In plain English.
You decide.
No pressure, no packages. The car gets what it needs — and nothing it doesn’t.
“…he said that there was an issue with my struts but I could probably get away with 6-9 months before needing to replace them. This helped me budget and not get hit with a large unsuspected bill.”

“He always let’s me know what he finds and what should be repaired right away and what will need attention down the road. Never tries to upsell unnecessary services or parts.”

The $3,700 second opinion.
“In and out; efficient and honest. Very professional. Clearly has repeat customers and a loyal following. Taking my Honda’s and Toyota’s here from now on. No more dealerships with their ‘recommended service packages.’”

“I’ll probably go here for the rest of my cars life. Close by and they didn’t charge me 600 bucks for easy work. Also, it’s a dinosaur theme which is the best.”
