Jeff and Ryan are amazing, went to couple shops around the area and they were the only ones to really help. We broke down at the Casey’s after driving back from Cape Girardeau for work and being how most shops are nowadays, busy as hell, Ryan and Jeff went above and beyond. I’m all the way from Pacific, Mo. and will now take my business over to them. The nice Lady at the desk while on the phone also was listening in and also gave us a couple local phone numbers in case we needed to tow. Can’t say enough how impressed I am wi... read more

Let me start with the fact that have been using bates since they were just a small shop in pevely and up until today have had no issues with them at all, but my car came in for a radiator fan, hose, and an intake manifold and after they claimed to have fixed it, they started my car and blew the turbo and sucked oil into my catalytic converter essential destroying both.

Charged $70 to check a code I already knew was thrown (you can get it read for free at other places) , I expected to them to do a further inspection and that wasn’t done. Then was told 2500 for a part which is more expensive than the OEM part. This place just wants your money.

Highly recommend! One of our fleet vehicles had a fluke starter problem at the gas station down the street, and reached out to the closest mechanic across the street and they refused to help, so the crew walked down to Bates Automotive and they sent an mechanic to come help roadside. They diagnosed the problem, got the part, installed, and completed a check of the starter's health before the crew left. Thanks to Jeff and his crew at Bates for exceptional service in a time of need. Thanks again!
