Recently found this gem of a place and man am I glad I did. Extremely professional and honest which to me is nearly impossible to find in any car repair shop. They don't give you the run around and list a hundred other things that need repaired that really don't. Take your vehicles here! You will not regret it! JR and staff are phenomenal and I look forward to using Fred's until the end of time! Well done Fred's. Well done.

I needed to have work done for my exhaust system. I was able to get a quick appt. I was able to drop off my car and got a ride home from Fred's customer shuttle. My car was looked at and I received a call about an estimate, which to my happy surprise was far below what I expected. With an excellent price, the repairs were made quickly, I was picked up from home and brought back to pick up my car all in a few hours!
Excellent customer service, nice customer reps, great service. Very pleased! ***Just wanted to add an update. Josh and the employees at Fred's in Wentzville are awesome! I have had to cancel and reschedule several times, because I have been sick.and they have been so accommodating and patient. And Josh wished me a speedy recovery! This kind of kindness has been hard to find these days. Fred's has my business from now on! ***

You need to go there, if ur wondering where to take your vehicle.don't waste anymore time or energy. Have to admit auto shops = untrustworthy to me. I do know there are reputable businesses & good honest dealings but it seems very rare to find. Unfairly misjudged these guys but I was wrong. Very honest, fair in price & impressive people skills to boot. I saved myself some $ but my muffler now sounds metal on metal cringe worthy horror +I got myself so worked up stressing probably took 5yrs off my life expectancy. Dont kill urself prematurely, worrying over auto woes- just trust Fred's Complete Car Care. Thanx guys, the little u did for me mattered big time!

Amazing price. Best service anywhere. Honest people at both locations (Wentzville & St. Charles). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I've taken all 3 of my cars here. Appointment is needed! Ask about their rewards program.

True to their word! They have some talented technicians in their shop. Just amazing that there are still honest shops around. Being a prior automotive technician before I transitioned to a different career. If I can't fix it, I would send my vehicles over there no problem. They definitely got my future business!
