The shop that doesn't turn jobs away.
Most shops have a list of things they won't touch. We don't. From a straightforward oil change to a diagnostic puzzle that's stumped everyone else — we take the time to figure it out. All makes and models. Straight answers. No padded estimates.

What honest auto repair actually looks like.
You get a straight answer — what's wrong, what it takes to fix, what it costs. No call with five extra things we 'noticed' that double your bill. If something needs attention you didn't come in for, we'll tell you — and we'll tell you if it can wait. We started this shop from scratch in 2017 because the industry can do better. That hasn't changed.
Straight answers.
How do I find a reliable auto mechanic in Wichita?
Look for a shop that explains the problem before they fix it, gives written estimates, doesn't pad the bill with surprise repairs, and has long-term customers (not just five-star reviews from last week). We've been doing it this way in Wichita since 2017 — most of our customers come back, and most new customers come from referrals.
Are you an affordable auto repair shop in Wichita KS?
We're fairly priced — not the cheapest, not gouging. You get an honest diagnosis, a real estimate, and no padded line items. Most of our customers spend less with us than they did at the last shop because we don't recommend work that doesn't need to be done yet.
Independent auto repair vs. dealership service in Wichita — which is better?
For most repairs, an independent shop is cheaper, faster, and just as capable — sometimes more so on older vehicles or anything outside the dealership's narrow expertise. Dealers make sense for warranty work and certain recalls. For everything else, an independent like us usually wins on price and turnaround.
Are you a dealership in Wichita that also offers auto repair services?
Slusser Automotive is a full-service auto repair shop in Wichita that also sells Ice Bear motorcycles, mopeds, and dirt bikes. So yes — you get repair expertise and a small-vehicle dealer under one roof.
Do you work on all makes and models?
Yes. Foreign, domestic, gas, diesel, older or newer — we work on all of it.
How long does a diagnostic take?
Most diagnostics take between 30 minutes and a couple of hours depending on what's going on. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when you drop it off.
Will you call me before doing any work?
Always. You'll hear from us with a diagnosis and an estimate before we touch anything. No surprises.
Do you work on older or high-mileage vehicles?
Yes, and we're good at it. A lot of shops shy away from older vehicles. We don't.
