Certifix Auto Repairs in
Independence (MO)

These guys done a awesome job on my work truck been driving it about 2 weeks no issues i got a rebuilt transmission and a transfer case put in truck is running good again thank you guys much appreciated would definitely recommend

We had terrible luck with 3 vehicles needing MAJOR work all within a couple months. The places we had been using closer to our home, were overcharging and not fixing the correct issues. We took it our 2018 Ford Escape to Certifix after another place told us our whole engine would need replaced and wanted to charge almost what the entire car was even worth. Certifix took the time to find out what was really wrong and fix only exactly what needed done, saving us thousands of dollars. The entire staff was incredibly nice to us throughout the whole process and got us driving again quickly. Everything is warrantied too!

I honestly wouldn't recommend taking your vehicles their for any transmission problem(s). I took my suv in to get my transmission fixed they cut my muffler which now my truck sounds like crap they tried welding but did a scrappy job. they used black tape to bridge my cables instead of using heat shield taps they took about a month to get a sensor put in. The 2nd time I took it in they told me warranty expired even though they told me I had warranty until June this month so not holding their word I paid an extra $250 to get my shifter fixed and still didn't. The only thing they've done was help fix my ignition key from getting stuck which should have been covered. They want to charge me extra to get my shifter from going out of park when the ignition key isn't even in the ignition.

Had my transmission rebuilt at a reasonable price and a timely manner no issues and good service

I have been bringing all my cars here for over 3 years now and I own a minimum of 4 cars at a time not including my family's vehicles and friends. It's sad to see some of these reviews are not to good or honest. Everyone always wants a discount most likely because their hustle and mentality are wack ..I pay with no problem every time and if something isn't right (rare) I take it back and it's fixed asap. I'm no mechanic but these guys treat me like family with kindness and respect... And since I rarely ever have to bring my vehicles back..I would say, they know what they are doing and they can be trusted. thank you guys for your hard work and thank you Arturo Gonzalez for referring me to these honest, hard working and humble people 🙏🏽

This place was recommended to me by Arturo Gonzalez, one of my best buds I've known for over 8 years and I've been bringing my vehicles here for over five years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Carlos is great and the young man Alex is very kind and generous.

Do NOT take your car here!! They gave me a faulty transmission. When we took it back to be fixed AGAIN they said they needed 1,500 more for engine coils !! When they did the initial diagnosis they never said anything other than it was the transmission. Do not trust them.we are out of 2,300 and our car is worse.

We took our minivan to them after being told by another shop that it needed a new transmission. They discovered that a plug had been disconnected that effects the gear shifting. They reconnected the plug, changed the transmission fluid and filter and found that the transmission worked fine. Saved us thou$$ands of dollars!

I had my jeep wrangler taken there for a new engine and after paying almost 4k it still Is not running! They could not figure out what happened when they put the new engine in. Now I’m stuck finding someone to fix it since they couldn’t!

These guys know exactly what they’re doing! I’ve worked with MANY mechanics and no one even comes close. Trust worthy, very fair priced, and easy to work with! They service my entire fleet of vehicles and now, my entire family. Thanks for all your great work!

Certifix took great care of us. Being stuck in the position of having to decide where to tow my van when I wasn't even planning on repairs was stressful. But AJ assured me that we would be back on the road in 3-4 days and we were. It has now been 3 weeks with our new transmission and we are very pleased. Great communication, fair price and seems like top notch work. Thanks a lot guys.

They replaced my transmission on my Nissan. Pathfinder, and forgot to include some seals, and my car caught fire. Even after the initial installation I went back several times because of a weird smell coming from the transmission and they charge me an additional $300 for a transfer case but never completed the job and now my car is on fire. My insurance company and Nissan dealership confirmed that it was due to the transmission installation. I wish I could get half a star, but this is the lowest rating that they allow.

Took my 2018 5.3 truck for a new engine, AJ and Alejandro gave me the best rates in town for a new engine and install it all with in 1 week from then the engine arrived. Been driving the truck for a week now, runs better than ever, if I ever need a good shop with out hesitation this will be the place!

That new 5.4 V8 they put in my truck runs like a champ. And for a great price too. Dont hesitate to use them for any motor or transmission repairs you may need. Excellent service

Took my vehicle in due to loss of coolant and over-heating. The mechanic replaced the intake manifold & gaskets. Picked my vehicle up after I was told it was done. Upon starting my car It was missing pretty badly and there was a distinct burning odor emanating from under the hood. Prior to taking my car in for repairs, for 2 yrs, my car never missed, until after retrieving my car from Certifix. I am very unhappy with their service!

I bought a remanufactured CVT transmission online from Street Smart transmission for a 2015 Honda Civic. Certifix is one of their recommended installers. Street Smart has a 3 year unlimited mileage transferable warranty on their remanufactured transmission. Transmission was shipped to Certifix and Certifix took care of sending back the core. Price to install was very fair, work was done promptly, good communication throughout, and car runs well. I strongly recommend. Parts and labor together cost me less than half of what a competitor cost. Additionally, I had the car back before the other company said they could get started.

Took my 1999 Dodge Durango in for a water pump and serpentine belt replacement. Carlos was very friendly and fast at a reasonable price. When I called he gave me the quote and told me being it in the morning they'd have it done by the end of the day. I decided to drop it off at close the night before and received a call before 11am that they were finished. Thank you for your services.

Bought a truck for my son and within a month the transmission went out. Checked around with several places and individuals. Not a cheap fix. I had heard some good reviews about Cerifix and stopped and talked with them. They were flexible on times with me and my job. They wrote everything up. They did diagnostics, gave me a warranty. Easy business to work with and nice people. Gave me a good price and everything was in writing. We've not had any problems with the truck or the transmission in 3 months! Found my new mechanics!

SHADY, LYING AND UNTRUSTWORTHY company! A TRUE STATEMENT!!!I I had a transmission rebuild done after two months of taking it back several times for shifting issues on a new Rebuilt transmission, it was still shifting hard and they told me to drive it that it needed to be broke in. The issue never went away and after several attempts for them to look at it in the shop they told me that my warranty was expired. They refused to honor the warranty and their work. And will be taken to the BBB. Also was going to pay with my card and was going to charge me a huge fee that wasn't told up front and would charge me less by using cash. Do not go there.

Good news: Carlos and his team are very friendly. I was rooting for him, and I gave him many chances to correct the issues. Bad news: They never fixed my transmission (2014 Ford Escape). I found this odd and disappointing for a transmission shop to not be able to fix the transmission. Worse, they were nice enough to try to fix it after it continually experienced the same overheating issues. I kept bring the car back to them - which was not an easy task. It takes up a good part of a Saturday, plus I wasn't able to drive on the highway, so you can imagine the trek from Lenexa to Independence and back. All in all, I made about 5 trips and spent countless hours, gas money, and a couple tows, and I had nothing to show for it, except a "rebuilt" transmission that repeatedly overheated and made the car undrivable. I asked for a refund, or at least a partial refund, but Carlos did not entertain this.

This was the worst experience I think I've ever had, I spent 2800$ on a used transmissions, right when I get it back it's making a gurgling sound out of the stick shift. Now it's leaking and not shifting right. This was a month now. It's worse now then it was when I had them so called fix it. The truck was covered in hand/grease marked all over the interior. He tried to blame me for driving it when he told me not to drive it. Anyway I wouldn't recommend this place if they did the work feee, spent the money not to go here. It's not if, it's when you get ripped off.!!!! This is a real customer, even if they say I'm noti can't take a picture to show u my bill Dec. 31 2019

My boyfriend recently had his transmission replaced. When he picked it up the transmission was gurgling and grinding. There were oil and grease stains all through the interior. It over all ran worse. We live an hour away and was told to not drive it but to bring it back in. Unfortunately After paying $2800 on a transmission and losing work due to not being able to drive truck we cannot afford to have it towed back up there and even if we could we would not have confidence in their ability to take care of this problem without making it worse. Also this is not a fake review like I have noticed they accuse other bad reviews to be! It's all real and very disappointing!

Your best auto service in town. Carlos, the guy who helped me, was was extremely nice and helpful. I stopped by without making an appointment because my front end was shaking, he told me it could be worn brake pads Carlos was so nice that he took time out of his busy schedule (no appointment made ahead of time) and did a brake job same day while i waited in the waiting room, fast and friendly service!

purchased a car from Alex jr 4 months ago and still running great! will recommend to anybody who is looking for a great price and great customer service as well.

Had transmission repaired six months ago. Got the car back and it stalled less than two hours after I picked it up. When I called to let them know what happened, they swore up and down it was a bad alternator. After a second opinion, turned out they didn't hook up the electrical conduit correctly after re installing the transmission. Then, recently, once the transmission started acting up again, I took it back since it's under warranty, only for them to tell me that someone put the wrong/inferior type of transmission pan on the car when they were the last ones who serviced it! Horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE experience. Great people, shoddy workmanship...

I've been to some good mechanic shops before but these guys have set a new bar of standards in my book. they've gone well beyond what i would expect any reasonable business to do and and at prices way better than most if not all would offer me. I'll admit i was a little concerned with the cheapness of the quote and aesthetic look of the shop but don't let that fool you. They will treat you right and go out of their way to calm any of your concerns. These people really care about the little guy. If i have any complaint it might be that their finance company is a little slow to finance, i think it took me almost a week but for no credit check it's very reasonable. I have 2 $40 payments left on a 1300 transmission rebuild and I'll have paid a little over $1500 in the end for a year. Thank you guys for such great service and customer support. Tom Holaday

Best shop ever. Fixed a transmission on my accord one weekend for a great price and very quickly. They helped me again on engine work over this weekend. Recommend to everyone for professional services for a great price. They also tow less than an hour wait.
