About Bret's Autoworks, Gardner

Total Commitment To Our Customers

Bret's Autoworks, Gardner location opened in 2008 by Shawn Fischer and Leo Murry. Shawn was serving as the general manager and owner of Bret's Autoworks in Olathe when he met Leo. Leo filled a technician position in 2001, and the two became fast friends.

 

Bret Tredway started the original location in Olathe over 30 years ago. Bret began working on cars from his home while attending MidAmerica Nazarene University. He enjoyed it so much he decided to open his repair shop after he graduated. He knew the importance of providing high quality, honest repairs. In 2001 Shawn joined Bret as partners, and eventually, Bret moved on to take on other adventures.

I like how they show you what they are doing to the car before they do it how long it will take and even take you home and when it is ready they call me to let me know that they are coming to get me at my house that is service. I am glad that they are in Gardner Kasnas

Cynthia, Thank you for taking the time to write such an excellent review!

I never feel like they are trying to sell me un needed items or services and have been going for 5 years or so. Very home town feel.

Best service, best people. I had my car towed after it died and Bret’s not only was ready for me to come in, they gave me a ride home while they checked it out, and kept costs down on the diagnosis. Beyond that, Tracy and Jeff are amazing people and were so helpful and kind.

Jessica, We were happy to help you! Thank you much for sharing your experience with others.

My experience with Bret Autoworks was great! They diagnosed the problem and quoted cost. Waited for me to give the green light to do the repairs. The staff was very professional and kind. I also liked the video!😊

Although I paid them to diagnose bad tires, they properly diagnosed it. Unlike the other mechanic we went to with free diagnostics, we would have dropped 3 times as much and the car still wouldn't have been fixed. I've got no problem paying competent, honest mechanics for their time.

We just moved to town and needed a major repair on our BMW. The folks here were terrific! Tracy in the office was great to work with and the process worked exactly as she said it would. The technician called us quickly and via video walked us through all of the repairs. The estimate was fair and right on target, and the repairs were completed expertly and in a timely fashion. We definitely recommend using Bret’s Autoworks. It is great to have already found a trusted mechanic.
