I had an emergency breakdown with my 2003 Chrysler Town and Country Limited AWD. I live in Potosi, Mo. about 76 miles away. The minivan went into limp mode so top speed was restricted to about 25mph. It was determined that the throttle position sensor went bad. <br />I had called on recommendation of the Plaza Tire Mgr close by. I called explained my situation and the guys worked me in it was a VERY pleasant experience. When all finished the minivan drove better than when I first purchased it about 8 years ago. I would without hesitation recommend Kirkwood Auto & Truck to others. It is not often that customers give positive comments about a business, hats off to you guys.

This was the most dishonest shop. I have ever had my vehicle at. It looks like it would be a small honest family business which are usually fair and don't screw people over. Its hard to find good mechanics that can actually diagnose and fix vehicles. I would never recommend anyone to go here unless you want simple things done like service work from valvoline.

My car broke down on the road, seemingly due to the alternator. Before I got my car towed there, I called and asked how much it would be to replace the alternator. A guy named Dave looked up the price based on the make, model, and engine type and said it was coming up as $713 including labor which could change but would be somewhere around that price. I asked which towing coming they recommended and had it towed there. After it got there they did a diagnostic and said that it would be about $1500 including the tow; they had to replace the battery for the diagnostic and the alternator would be a bit more than $1000. I asked why the alternator was so much since I had talked to Dave earlier and he said it would be around $713. The guy on the phone said Dave prolly didn't realize that it was a car with a computer system--but that was a lie since Dave looked it up based on the make, model, and engine type. He then put me on hold and came back and said "the boss" says that Dave told me it would be between $700 and $1600 which was also a blatant lie. In the end they ended up replacing the alternator for a somewhat high but fairly reasonable price but the ease with which they lied about it all was infuriating and they do not seem trustworthy whatsoever
