I have an Audi A6 that was making a a humming/grinding noise at around 30 mph and progressively got louder with higher speed. I took my car to Shawn about 5 months ago. I wanted him to diagnose what I thought was a bad wheel bearing. After he ran his test he said that it was a failed drive shaft carrier. I know that is a common fault with my car but I didn’t really think it had anything to do w what I brought it to him for. Reluctantly, I let him do what he thought the problem was. I was trying to get repairs through warranty so it had already been close to a month of waiting for inspector/warranty payout. I ended up cancelling the warranty claim due to them being a pain in the ass and my car not being at a certified dealership/shop. Shawn recommended I buy a $400 drive shaft carrier replacement and that he would put it in for another $450. After about another 2 weeks he finally got the part in and after all that time nothing was changed or fixed. I’m sure changing that part was preventive maintenance as it was definitely going to have to be replaced soon. But as for the noise, I was convinced was a bad wheel bearing, it was still there w no difference. When I picked up the car he had me test drive it and even he heard the noise was still there and very prominent. He then tried to play it off like it could be a bad tire or maybe the brakes but the tires were only 1 year old. After paying him he said “maybe it’s the brakes” “if it doesn’t change after replacing brakes, bring it back and wheel look into wheel bearing”. I was very disappointed w my experience at this shop. I’m sure he’s a good mechanic but in my case he did a very poor job, and here I am 6 months later w a bad wheel bearing. If you choose to do business with this shop, personally I would diagnose the problem yourself and just have them change out the parts.

My Jeep Wrangler had a broken window regulator, I got the part for it, took it to Mr. Hughes that same day and he replaced it within an hour, charged a very good price. Very friendly also. Would highly recommend!!!

I took my BMW to Mr. Hughes, after searching high and low for someone who worked on foreign automobiles in New Mexico, and thank God, I found Mr. Hughes, I had issues with chassis stabilization, ABS, fuel hose leak and other sensors in my automobile. I only work in New Mexico, and my hitch was ending soon. That's a 9hr drive home. I took it to Mr. Hughes, and when I tell you he got me together, he got me together. I even had him give my car a tune up since I recently hit my 100k mark. The car has been driving phenomenal. I not only recommend Mr. Hughes for foreign vehicles repair. I just know American brand vehicles he will do just as amazing with his repairs. 5 stars, standing ovation, salute to him, YOU NAME IT, TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO HIM, DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE

I would recommend Hughes Auto to anyone. We are traveling from Georgia and heading to Boise Idaho. Yesterday a very annoying beeping started in our car. The beep was constant and sounded like a heart monitor. We went to the Chevy dealer and they wouldn’t even look at it for two weeks. I looked online and saw Hughes Auto Repair and called. He was on his way to lunch but he came back to his shop to see what our problem was. He immediately identified the problem and stopped the constant beeping sound. If you are looking for exemplary service, call Hughes. You won’t be sorry!!

The MacGuyver problem solver is Shawn. His knowledge, passion, and unique ways to get things done fast are incredible. Open late and great prices!

Shawn was nice enough to text with me and diagnose my starter problem. Nailed it down for certain. Although I ended up replacing the starter myself, not many people would taken the time to help over text to this extent. Very much appreciated! His competitor, "The Mechanic" did not even respond to my text. I'm sure there will be a day when something is wrong w/ my truck that I am not capable of handling myself. Hughes Automotive will have my business.

Best mechanic on the planet. I drive all the way from ok when i have anything going on with my Audi so Shaun can look at it. I can't trust any other mechanics out there. He has been the only hinest mechanic I've ever known.

Hughe's Automotive was a life saver. Our GMC Acadia sun roof would not close, and it was late on a Saturday and pushing 100 degrees. We would have a long 3 hour drive home and rain was predicted. They got us in right away, and our guy was so cool and super nice. We would definitely come here again. Outstanding service!

Car started making awful noises while on a road trip for work. It wasn't something that could be fixed easily, but Shawn identified the problem and got me to the point that I'd be able to at least make it to my final destination on time.

Friendly - Fair - Honest - Skilled. Shawn saved our road trip! We were passing through Carlsbad when our truck experienced a mechanical issue. Shawn quickly diagnosed the problem and got us back on the road! When going to post this review I scanned over his other reviews I can see that his helpfulness and integrity were not reserved just for us. Very thankful to have found him.

Ran into some issues while on vacation. Excellent service, got my super annoying car back and running the next day and we successfully made it back to Colorado.

Showed up late evening on a weekday after car broke down, he immediately got to work and fixed us up within 30 minutes. Several mechanics had missed our problem that was leading to rapid battery drain, but Hughes found it quickly. Fairly priced for labor. Would definitely visit again if needed, very friendly.

Had a great experience at Hughes Automotive. My car broke down an hour outside of town and Hughe waited after hours for me to get to his shop. He then proceeded to stay at the shop for another two hours to get the ball rolling on my repair since I was just passing through town. He even gave me a ride to my hotel. Awesome guy, honest mechanic! Highly recommended.

Shaun is a wonderful mechanic. We were traveling across the country and had a mystery substance leaking from our car. He immediately diagnosed the problem and drove to get the required parts. Not to mention, we had a pretty complex problem and he completed the problem in an unbelievable time frame. He communicated effectively, diagnosed the problem quickly, found the correct parts instantly and went above and beyond any mechanic would do to help us out in a time of need.
BOTTOM LINE:
1. Does great work
2. Is knowledgeable
3. Communicates
4. Gets the problem fixed
5. Fair price
WOULD RECOMMEND

We were broke down 500 miles from home, and he took our van in and got us on our way for less than anyone else in the area.

Shawn has done a couple of lifts on both my new trucks over the last few years. He knows what he's doing and his prices are fair. Thank you Shawn!
