We are committed to high-quality repairs and preventative maintenance to help keep our customers and their families safe on the road. Women make up over half of today's drivers driving more than ever before. With more women driving, that means more women are probably taking care of their vehicle's service and repairs. Sometimes women can feel out of their element when they bring their car into a repair shop. Here at Anderson Automotive, we go out of our way to make our women drivers feel comfortable when they bring their car in to our shop.
Services
Anderson Automotive began as a part-time endeavor by John Anderson as he was teaching automotive technology at the Johnson County Area Vocational-Technical School in Olathe. Anderson Automotive quickly grew and by the following spring, John decided to decline renewal of his teaching contract. The shop grew quickly, and by the summer of 1997 we moved to a much larger building across the parking lot. The shop continued to grow and expand until the entire facility was purchased from the construction company.
Anderson Automotive is thankful to be a part of such a wonderful community. We believe that Winston Churchill was correct when he stated, We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give. We are active in the Olathe community. The Anderson Automotive Staff volunteers for Westar Energy's Greenteam, Angel Babies, Positive Changes, Beak N Wings and other local not for profit organizations. We support the Olathe Fishing Derby, Faternal Order of Police, and kid's baseball teams. We belong to N.F.I.B. and A.S.A., as well.
Women account for more than half of all customers who take their vehicles to an auto repair shop. While female motorists are making more automotive service and repair decisions, they need to take certain steps to ensure that their repair experience is a positive one. To take control of your automotive service experience, it is essential that you possess the tools to find the right female friendly repair shop, and then communicate with technicians and service advisors once you're inside the shop.Don't rush the service advisor or technician to make an on-the-spot diagnosis.
Preventative maintenance extends the life of your vehicle and keeps it running safely and efficiently. That's the plain and simple truth. When you bring your vehicle into Anderson Automotive for each recommended service visit, we can assess the health of the system in question and the parts that make up that system.

Did not get a good vibe when I visited. I was trying to set up an appointment to have my car looked at and the vibe just didn't feel right. Especially when the service specialist didn't ask for my phone number or name when he was making the appointment. I went elsewhere.

I've always had great experiences with Anderson Auto. Friendly employees you can trust to give you an honest answer. I get texts to remind me when an oil change is due and also texts to follow up after an appointment to make sure everything is going well. My car is always taken care of pretty quickly. This shop is a little out of the way for us but 100% worth the drive. Thanks Anderson team!

The office is always clean. The guys are nice. Dependable and honest. I was in and out within 30 minutes. I hear that there is sometimes an office dog but every time I have been there, I only see an empty water bowl. I would probably come in more often if Pat ever started bringing in his dog again.

I've gone here for a couple years and once your car is actually getting serviced you are in good hands but the appointment system and specifically the guy at the front desk who answers the phone the majority of the time are not very helpful. He makes simple calls harder than they need to be. I called just to get a quote for the labor to replace brake pads and was quoted a price almost twice as high as the dealership.

If he took 30 seconds to listen to what I was saying I could have gotten an accurate quote but I guess I'm an inconvenience. This place really is 5 stars once you get past the barriers, just not sure it's worth the effort.

Last summer our headlight unit went out in our Lincoln MKX. We got an estimate from Anderson Automotive. They quoted $2,500 to install a refurbished head lamp or $6,000 to install a new head lamp. We were shocked. My husband, who is NOT a mechanic, purchased a new headlamp, for less than $1,000 and then installed it in 1 1/2 hours. How can they say $6000 is a reasonable price for this service!

Everyone at Anderson was so great! When our repairs took longer than anticipated they drove myself and my daughter home so we wouldn't have to wait. Great service! Service: General repairs & maintenance

Did a great job with a very challenging engine and transmission replacement. They were honest and upfront even when they knew we wouldn't be happy about the news. At the end of the day, the car runs like new and I would definitely recommend these guys. Service: Engine repair

I have taken my car here exclusively for4 years. I do not take it anywhere else, except once about 2 years ago I took it to discount tire (only for tire installation). I took my car in for an oil change somewhat recently (2-3 months ago), and the next day the check engine light came on. Strange, but coincidences do happen I tell my wife. Had my wife take it back in to see if maybe they accidentally unplugged something while changing the oil.

They say the light is on because of carbon build up and repair is $2k. Fine. Seems reasonable, 123k miles I would think there sure would be some Carbon buildup. Was a coincidence after all I tell my wife. Decide I am going to sell the car instead of fixing, considering the market. So we order a new car, but it will be 4-6 months until we get it. So, for now, my wife has to keep driving the car until the new one comes in.

Today I noticed this hose hanging down. I jack it up and find both ends are unclamped, and are spotless as if recently removed. As soon as I hook it back up, the engine light goes away. Coincidence I am sure, but would think such good mechanics would have found the disconnected hose instead of quoting me $2k to fix.

Highly recommend Anderson Automotive. Out the door with taxes was lower than original quote and they provided a loaner car at no cost. Everyone I dealt with was honest, friendly, and accommodating. Best shop I've found anywhere. Will definitely use them again for something I can't or won't fix myself. Service: Exhaust

Patrick is a very professional business owner. I had hub repair work completed and also some fan/belt issues they fixed. There were some initial communication issues, but Patrick made it right with the charges which you don't see very often. I will definitely return for car repairs. Services: Engine repair, General repairs & maintenance, Wheel alignment

Took my vehicle in with a list of issues. They diagnosed the problems. Came up with options to repair and get my vehicle safe and give me confidence to travel with it. I was really surprised at the end result and very happy. They also got the work done very quickly, and provided transport for drop off and pick up. So very convenient. They deserve the 5 star rating.

They are always courteous and explain clearly what services will be performed. I've recommended Anderson Automotive to friends. One friend has already taken her car there for general maintenance and said the service was "wonderful"! Service: General repairs & maintenance
