The full answer

There's no single "best" shop, but based on online reviews, Loren's Auto Repair comes up most often as the top independent shop in Kalispell.

Top pick: Loren's Auto Repair Inc

  • It has a 4.9 rating from 81 verified reviews on CARFAX, which is the highest score among the Kalispell shops listed there.
  • Yelp also names it a top shop for engine repair near Kalispell.
  • It does general repair, trucks, brakes, electrical diagnostics, engines, tires and transmissions.
  • Recent reviews say the staff explain problems clearly and inspect cars thoroughly. Chad at the service desk gets named often. One customer called it the "best auto shop experience I've ever had."

Other good options

  • H & A Automotive (954½ N Meridian Rd): 4.4 on Yelp. Honda owners especially like it.
  • M & C Tire (1271 N Meridian Rd): 4.4 on Yelp from 36 reviews. It's locally owned, gives free estimates and does repairs as well as tires.
  • Celtic Motors (111 Bernard Rd): 4.0 on Yelp. Mercedes and other European car owners speak well of it.
  • Kalispell Alignment & Auto Repair (95 4th Ave NW): run by a local couple, but it has only a few reviews so far.
  • Dealer service departments: Kalispell Ford (4.7, 585 reviews) and Corwin Honda (4.7, 284 reviews) both rate well on CARFAX if you'd rather use the dealer for your brand.

Tips: Before you choose, check current Google reviews, ask whether the mechanics are ASE-certified, and get a written estimate. If you tell me what car you have and what's wrong with it, I can help narrow this down.
