About Excellence In Auto-Repair
Over 30 Years of Honest Work in Omaha
Excellence In Auto-Repair has been a fixture on Blondo Street since 1993. It is a small, family-run garage where Tom and his team have built a reputation one car at a time. The approach has never changed: tell the customer what the car actually needs, quote it fairly, and do the work right.
That means sometimes telling a customer their car is better off replaced than repaired. One customer described how Tom spent weeks troubleshooting their vehicle, tried multiple solutions, and in the end recommended replacement. He did not charge them for the time or parts he had put in. That is the kind of integrity that builds 30-year relationships.
Customers consistently mention that the team takes time to explain what is happening, never condescends, and treats everyone with respect. One reviewer put it simply: "Top notch work and top notch service 11/10."

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy auto repair in Omaha.”
“Car troubles are never fun, but this team made the repair experience quick and easy. I needed my tensioner repaired and serpentine belt replaced. Tom was friendly, informative and fair in pricing. He called with a quote before proceeding to the repair. My family has been bringing our cars here for years. I love that it is a family business and they do great work. Highly recommend!”
“I had a perfect experience at this mechanic. All the employees were kind, attentive, and helpful. No one was condescending to me as a woman which is often my experience at any mechanic or even trying to get a part at places like AutoZone. It's a small, family run garage. They were able to take my car in day of and finish by the end of the day. Every problem was explained to me and I was given different options on solutions. The price for the fix was completely reasonable and the customer service was so good I wanted to tip the mechanic on top of it. I will recommend this place to any and everyone. Top notch work and top notch service 11/10”
“I have been taking my cars to Tom for about three years, and he has consistently earned my trust through his honesty and exceptional service. Tom is one of those rare mechanics who genuinely cares about his customers and never overcharges, upsells, or misdiagnoses. What first brought me to him was a car that had serious starting issues. Tom spent weeks troubleshooting it whenever he could, trying different parts and solutions. In the end, he was upfront in recommending that I replace the vehicle rather than continue spending money on repairs, and to my surprise, he did not charge me for the time or parts he had put in while trying to help.”
“Wow what an awesome experience I had. Had issues with my brakes and I dropped it off after work in the evening and my car was road ready early afternoon next day. Everyone who works here is very nice and the prices are reasonable for how quickly they fix your car with zero errors. I also appreciate they do not attempt to upsell you as well. Awesome place!”
