If anyone is looking for a fast and reliable auto repair company I highly recommend “I Know A Guy Auto Repair”. Rusty was super awesome and so easy to work with. Communication was spot on and repair was perfect! Very affordable! Very hard to find these days!!
- Lauren A., Allen, TX
Used them twice. Did the pickup option, which is cool. Also didn’t try to sell me on 15 things I didn’t need like Firestone does and they are cheaper than Firestone.
- Mike H., Allen, TX
We recently hired Rusty, the owner of I Know a Guy Auto Repair, to fix our vehicle. I cannot praise him enough! He provided a free estimate and took exceptional care of the repairs, even personally meeting the tow truck to ensure our vehicle’s safe delivery. Rusty kept us informed with repair updates and photos several times a day and negotiated the repair costs with us. Having been taken advantage of with auto repairs in the past, we trust him completely. Our vehicle is in better condition now than when we first bought it, and we’re extremely thankful to Rusty and his team. He is a man of honor, and it really shows. He even provided an impressive warranty on his work. If you ever need vehicle repairs, this is the guy to work with.
- Lacey B., Allen, TX
You should use ‘I Know A Guy Auto Repair’. Rusty has repaired 2 vehicles for me. His Bodyshop repaired both my Ford and Ram truck quickly. I saved a serious amount compared to the dealership, and the whole process was simple. Rusty is local to Allen and a good guy. Definitely check them out.
