Shanks Automotive provides diesel repair, general automotive repair, classic car repair, construction equipment repair, and fleet service to the St. Peters, MO, area.
Jeff was absolutely phenomenal. Communication was great and both the drop off and pick up process were a breeze. He kept me updated on everything and only worked on what was absolutely necessary. Cost was completely reasonable and since then we have communicated about future tuning and other modifications and repairs. I would absolutely recommend Jeff and Shanks Automotive to anyone. The honesty and humility paired with his knowledge base and reasonable prices can't be beat. Thanks again Jeff and looking forward to working with you again in the future!

Outstanding service, honest, and professional. In today's world these are often in short supply, but not at Shanks. Thankfully I have found my new mechanic. This is the kind of place your grandfather was talking about when he said "I know a guy". Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!
