Consumer Comments for Beahm's Auto Service

GREAT OPTION for SECOND OPINIONS I was suspicious of a diagnosis from another repair shop. I had recently replaced the brakes and rotors and the other guy claimed they needed replacing again. I took the car to Beahm's, where they found all brakes in working order and were willing to stand behind it. Because their diagnosis saved me $1000, I offered them a $100 tip but they refused to take it.

Well, this is my annual rating of Beahm's Auto Service, which has been our local car mechanic well back into the last century, as well as for brother and sister and their families, and, before they passed, my mother and father. Beahm's Auto Service remains superior in quality and price. In 2025, both of our cars (2017 Toyoto RAV4, purchased in 2019, and 1998 Nissan Sentra, purchased in that year and forever serviced by Beahm's)) have been in for scheduled maintenance and needed repairs. Mike and Michael Beahm are the best auto mechanics ever, and good guys to boot. When I call in, they always tell me to bring it in the next morning (7 AM), call me before the morning is out as to what needs fixing and how much it will cost, and then have it ready to pick up the same day unless they couldn't find a needed part, which has happened only twice over the past 35 years or so. Shoot, there have been a number of times that they've taken the car in the day I called, including the two times over the past two years that I've had to have the Sentra towed there to get repaired, and once when a truck took off the side view mirror as he passed me too closely. They'll also tell you what needs fixing now and what can wait for fixing later. Prices are always reasonable, so much so that I never even ask anymore for the price of the repair or service needed.

I've been going to this father and son for years. I totally trust them.
