Our Auto Repair Services
We’re well known for our transmission expertise, but we also provide complete auto care to keep your vehicle running and reliable. We work on both foreign and domestic vehicles, from vintage to the latest car and truck models on the road.
Transmission Repair
Our ASE-certified mechanics are the most highly trained and experienced technicians in the KC area. When it comes to transmissions, we do it all in-house - rebuilds, repairs and replacements. With 50+ years of experience and a nationwide warranty, you can feel confident you are getting the best service available.
Auto AC & Heating Repair
Comfort matters when it comes to our stifling hot summers and frigid winters. If your AC or heat isn’t keeping up, we’ll diagnose the issue and get your system back in working order, so your drive is comfortable year-round.
Brakes, Steering & Suspension
When your vehicle doesn’t stop, turn, or ride the way it should, it’s more than inconvenient—it’s unsafe. We inspect, repair, and replace brake systems, suspension components, and steering parts to keep your drive smooth, stable, and secure.
Engine Repair
If your check engine light is on or your vehicle just isn’t running like it should, our team can pinpoint the issue quickly with our advanced diagnostic tools. Whether it’s a sensor, a misfire, or a full engine replacement, we focus on fixing the root cause—not just the symptoms.

What Our Customers Are Saying
We are proud of the work we do—and even prouder of the relationships we build. Here are a few words from the people who trust us to take care of their cars.
Gus’s Gears did a phenomenal job on replacing the transmission in my Honda Odyssey. They worked with our warranty company to get everything taken care of and replaced. The shop kept in constant contact with me on the progress of my warranty claim and the repairs being done. I honestly have never seen this type of customer service anywhere else. They answered all my questions and were educational on the transmission repair process. I highly recommend this shop to anyone needing transmission work or other mechanic services

Been bringing my cars to Gus for well over a decade. Service is always top notch and the price is always fair for the service. They do it all and I will give my repair business to no one else. Thanks again!

First time using them and I gotta say I will definitely be back. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and they got my truck fixed in no time. It was also a very honest, well-communicated, and easy process. If you're looking for great customer service, affordable prices, and overall a smooth experience, I would definitely use these guys for all your vehicle needs!
