Kind Words From Our Customers

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience from start to finish. They were friendly, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. They confirmed a few things I already suspected about my vehicle, which showed me they really know what they are doing. I also had the chance to meet the owners, and they were genuinely kind, respectful, and easy to talk to. That made the whole experience even better. Their prices were very fair, and the work was done right. Communication in person they wer

I was highly recommend Monkee Wrench by a dear trust friend who said they do great work at a reasonable price, are family owned & trustworthy. I echo his words. I too highly recommend their business. The people are courteous & a pleasure to work with. Their work is very good & reasonably priced.

Monkee Wrench Auto offered a reasonable price to replace my driver side mirror in a timely manner prior to my family’s cross country trip (even when their 3rd-party supplier sent the wrong side mirror). Monkee Wrench Auto was very responsive in everything. I will continue to do business with them in the future as they finish transitioning from the prior owners I have trusted for many years.

Zachary Christensen

I have been very happy with the services provided by the folks at Monkey Wrench!! I recently had to have an alternator & battery replaced on my F-150. They were able to get it towed, get the parts & get me back on the road in a day! The mechanics & office personnel are very considerate & professional. I will, without hesitation recommend Monkey Wrench for any auto service anyone may need!!

I would like to sincerely thank Tisa Sawin and Evan Moentenich for their outstanding assistance.

They took the time to explain the problem clearly, which I greatly appreciated. Thank you very much to the team at Monkee Wrench Auto for providing such excellent service

Vaibhav Shah

I needed something fixed with a wheel and was going out of town. I did not have an appointment but they worked my car in. They did a great job & after I was able to travel safely. I definitely will recommend them & use them again. Very nice & friendly people.

Mardi Haas

Excellent experience! The new owners were incredibly friendly, honest, and easy to work with. They quickly diagnosed an ongoing issue with my vehicle that others hadn’t been able to figure out, and it ended up being something completely different than we expected. Their diagnostics were spot on, the pricing was very fair, and the customer service was outstanding. It’s hard to find an honest, reliable auto shop, but this one definitely is. We will absolutely continue bringing our vehicles here. H

Linda Castor

This is a review of the newly named Monkey Wrench Auto Repair. I can’t speak more highly of Evan and the service he provided while squeezing me in to a busy schedule. We were traveling with our camper when the camper lights stopped working. He diagnosed the problem as the wiring on the vehicle receptacle, repaired it and put in the proper fuse all at a VERY reasonable price. If I lived near Springfield, I’d take my vehicles there for all maintenance work. Thanks to Evan and the shop for resc

Daughter drove in from out of town, when I drove her car, I said OMG! It’s loosing the front wheel bearing. It was loud! Roger squeezed us in, and diagnosed a tire problem, bearings were fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do most auto repairs take? Repair times vary based on the complexity of the issue, but most routine services like brake repair and oil changes are completed within a few hours, while more extensive work like engine repair may take one to two days.

Do you work on all vehicle makes and models? Yes, our certified technicians are trained to work on domestic and import vehicles of all makes and models, using manufacturer-specific diagnostic procedures and quality replacement parts.

What should I do if my car overheats? Pull over safely and turn off the engine immediately. Don’t remove the radiator cap when hot. Call us for cooling system repair diagnosis, as overheating can cause serious engine damage if not addressed promptly.

How often should I have my brakes inspected? We recommend brake system inspection every 12,000 miles or if you notice squealing, grinding, or changes in pedal feel. Early brake repair prevents more expensive damage to rotors and calipers.

Can you handle complex electrical problems? Absolutely. Our auto electrical diagnostics equipment can identify issues with computer modules, wiring harnesses, charging systems, and sensor networks that control modern vehicle operations.
