Mainstream Automotive in
Knob Noster (MO)

I was in need of a new set of tires. After a short call, appointment was set and I dropped my car off the next morning before they opened. I love this option! I was told it would be ready the next day ( I was in no rush and told them to take their time). However, I received phone call around lunch that day informing my vehicle was ready to go! They did a wonderful job. Very competitive prices. Definitely recommend!

Had an issue with my pickup handling weird so I took it to mainstream for an alignment, they found several issues and resolved them, then realigned it and through the whole process they were very open and honest about what they found and what the cost would be. Their attention to detail and taking care of the customer was much appreciated, thanks guys!!

Great experience! Went in for an ID/OD inspection and they got it taken care of promptly. Front desk was super nice, and they have some toys laid out if you end up needing to bring your kids!

Diagnosed a problem I had on my vehicle quickly and fixed it within the hour. Staff is friendly and prompt via calls and updates. I will be returning to do all my maintenance here.

took my car for an oil change and due to their quick lube it got done super fast and right! unlike other automotive shops they didn’t take advantage of my lack of knowledge with cars and try to sell me services i didn’t need. they only mention things that need immediate attention. great place, prices and trustworthy techs!

I took my car to get a simple tune up and a check up, because i’m going on a road trip soon, and they didn’t screw in one of my spark plugs correctly. a tune up is such a simple job. my car started breaking down the next day so i took it to another mechanic, and he informed me that they messed up my tune up and my 4 cylinder car was working on 3 cylinders, my car could’ve been in much worse shape if i hadn’t gotten it checked out right away. also they tried to charge us 550$ for a transmission flush, after charging us 345$ for a tune up, that they didn’t even do right.

I took my car here for a state inspection and after receiving my failure I was quoted over $1,000 for the fix. I decided to get a second opinion due to my previous years experience and took my car into a shop in Warrensburg and was quoted $650 for the same repair. This was all in the year of 2023 My suspicion of this establishment was peaked after getting work done a year prior 2022 and after telling my buddy (who is a mechanic, just lives in another state) and he immediately wanted me to come down to Arizona to get the work done and told me how badly I was ripped off. I decided to give them another chance this year and it seems they were ready to take advantage again. Beware of this establishment and make sure to get second opinions. It’s also worth mentioning that the mechanics at mainstream left oil stains from their hands all over the interior roof of my car and mud on the floor after the inspection. When I got it re inspected at the shop in Warrensburg not only did they not leave a mess but they put down paper floor mats to ensure they wouldn’t. Minor details like that should matter in a company.

They did my inspection there, and it was quick and easy. They got me in the same day that I called and were easy to work with.

If I can, I take my vehicle to Mainstream! They have served me well since they opened--very knowledgeable, trustworthy and fair pricing. On my latest repair, they were up front about the wait for repairs, but they still had my truck fixed much sooner than I expected.

Very professional, courteous, and most of all honest! Turns out I didn't need an alternator. I bet other shops would have just ripped me off. Highly recommend!

Mainstream staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I have had a positive experience in the multiple times I have had them work on my vehicles.

Had en electrical issue I had no idea how to solve. This was the only place I could find that would work it within a reasonable time frame and a price I wouldn’t have to take out a loan for. The problem was fixed within a couple days and I was only charged for the time the spent on it and no more. Honest people doing honest work. I will return here for any vehicle issues

Great staff, works with you on exactly what you need. I am new here and have used them for my suv maintenance, brakes and tires. Fair prices and competent mechanics.

Service was excellent. Prices were more than fair! They love what they do and it shows! They work late to take care of the customer and it was much appreciated!

Mainstream has been our go to mechanic for a few years now and they are always very quick, reasonably priced, and professional! Highly recommended working with them, we will never go anywhere else!

It took us three weeks to get our vehicle back because the insurance and them couldn't come together. It's our vehicle and we definitely felt like a third party. The communication wasn't there with the front desk woman and she was short with us every time we tried to get an ETA. Finally got our vehicle back and taking it elsewhere.

First time stopping there and was in a real bind. It was Friday at 430 and I came off the highway with a brake problem. Brad stayed late and took care of me and got me back on the road. Could not recommend him more. 1st rate guy!!

My go to place for all our automotive needs! They give accurate estimates and fix the problem the first time. I am never happy to have a car problem but it's much less stressful knowing we have a dependable place for repairs.

We will never take our vehicles to anyone but Mainstream Automotive. Everyone there is kind and fair. They do great work for more than reasonable prices. They have flexible schedules and are extremely knowledgeable for a variety of services. I don’t mind making the drive from Warrensburg, because I know they will take proper care of my vehicle. If you’re shopping for a new mechanic...you’ve found them.

Always friendly and their prices are better than most. When they fix the issues, you know the service you get is reliable and will be going to them for other automotive needs.Thanks!

I was a young airmen and didn’t know a thing about cars. A co-worker told me this place was honest and a good value. Boy was he right!! I have taken my car there maybe five times or so for various issues and they are ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS professional, honest, and fair. I would call ahead and describe my issue, the wonderful receptionist would arrange a time to drop it off but sometimes I would need to be work early so they have a drop box to leave your keys, and then she would call me later in the day to let me know what NEEDED to be fixed and what we could put off. She would also quote me a price and ask if I was okay with it. They are the absolute TOP of auto maintenance in the area and since leaving I sorely miss their honesty and integrity. If you’re new to the area and need your car looked at- stop shopping around and GO TO MAINSTREAM

Nothing but praise for everyone at Mainstream Automotive. Communication was great, which kept me at ease when we were w/o our vehicle. They're the perfect balance of griendly/down to earth & professional. They did great work on our vehicle! Thank you Mainstream Automotive!!!

Brad is fantastic he take quality and pride in his work. his prices are great! I recommend him to everyone that needs work done. I can not forget the ladies in the front that are absolutely amazing. Mainstream is the only shop I will go to get work done on my vehicles.

Really good customer service, great staff! Had to have 2 vehicles inspected and they were excellent to work with. I highly recommend them for all your automotive needs

Pricing for labor is very fair, and unlike most mechanics they research and work with you on what parts will be the most economical/best fit for you depending on where it can be ordered from. Very professional, clean, and they've definitely saved my car (and wallet) before. I recommend them to everyone!

I usually work on my own vehicles, but my daughter's newer SUV is to complicated to even begin were to start. That being said, we brought her KIA in for repair, the office, waiting room was clean and well lit. Peaking into the shop through the windows I saw the same thing, clean and well organized. They performed the repair in a timely manner. I felt there hourly labor rate was very fair, as with today's newer vehicles it requires special tools and scanners to accomplish anything.

Bought an exhaust for my 2017 Mustang GT, had some issues installing it myself and so i dropped it off and they had it done within a few hours and fixed the mediocre job I did myself. Price was very inexpensive aswell! I'll be back for future mods!
