ABOUT US
The Family-Owned Shop Merriam Drivers Trust
For over 30 years, our mechanics have kept Kansas City vehicles on the road — with honest diagnoses, clear communication and prices that are routinely half of what the dealership quotes.
Three Decades Under the Hood
AB Auto Repair started the way most good shops do — with one mechanic, a strong reputation, and customers who kept coming back. Over the last 30-plus years that reputation has carried the business from a location on Shawnee Drive to our current shop at 5100 Merriam Dr, Ste A, and through seven years of serving drivers across the KCK and JOCO area.
Angel handles the wrench work and the diagnoses; Claudia keeps the schedule moving and makes sure you always know what is happening with your vehicle. That combination — technical skill plus genuinely clear communication — is what customers write about most often in their reviews.
We stayed independent and family owned on purpose. Nobody here works on commission, nobody is chasing a corporate service quota, and nobody will recommend a repair your vehicle does not need. When the honest answer is "that can wait six months," that is the answer you will get.
Hablamos Español — our whole team can walk you through a diagnosis and an estimate in Spanish or English, whichever you are more comfortable with.
Angel — Owner & Lead Technician
Diagnoses the vehicles nobody else could figure out, photographs everything he finds, and explains it in plain language before touching a bolt. Customers have followed him between locations for more than a decade.
Claudia — Service Manager
Runs scheduling, estimates and customer updates. She is the reason "they told me exactly what was going on" shows up in review after review — in English or Spanish.
Our Technicians
A small, experienced crew that works on every make and model, from daily-driver sedans to work trucks and family SUVs, with the diagnostic equipment to handle modern electronics.
And yes — say hello to Max, the shop dog.
