About Willis Auto
Willis Auto is the newest name on Salina’s auto repair map and the fastest-moving one. Andrew Guise opened the shop in spring 2025 and, one year in, outgrew the original Willis Avenue location — as of August 2026 Willis Auto operates from a new, larger building at 1101 Park St in central Salina, and inside its first year it collected 50 Google reviews at a 4.8 rating, BBB accreditation with an A- grade, a CARFAX Car Care listing, and the 2026 Quality Business Award for Best Auto Repair Shop in Salina.
What sets Willis apart isn’t just the speed of that start — it’s the service model. Willis operates as a concierge mobile mechanic: for many jobs they come to you, and for bigger ones they’ll pick your vehicle up, repair it in the shop, and bring it back, with courtesy Uber rides and remote payment filling the gaps. You don’t have to take our word for it — it’s all over their reviews: a side mirror replaced in a customer’s driveway, an AC job done where the car sat, a window fixed at home on a Saturday before church, and a truck repaired on the highway shoulder instead of being towed.
In the bays, Willis handles full mechanical work — engine diagnostics and repair, transmissions, brakes, AC, fuel systems, exhaust and electrical — and unusually for a shop this size, semi trucks and OTR trailers too. They’re equally straight about what they don’t do: no alignments, ADAS calibration, or engine and transmission rebuilds. If your job is one of those, they’ll tell you up front instead of learning on your dime.
Salina has a strong bench of established shops — Channel Ridge has the biggest review profile in the city and McElderry carries a 4.9 rating built since 1998. What Willis adds to that market is a way of doing business nobody else in Salina offers: the shop that comes to you, backed by a 12-month/12,000-mile nationwide warranty.
Why Willis Auto is our #1 in Salina
Three reasons, all checkable. Willis Auto holds the 2026 Quality Business Award for Best Auto Repair Shop in Salina — the current year’s title. It is the only full-service shop in Salina operating as a concierge mobile mechanic — mobile repairs, pickup and drop-off, courtesy rides and remote pay, documented repeatedly in customer reviews rather than just claimed. And its 4.8 rating across 50 reviews was earned in a single year, backed by a 12-month/12,000-mile nationwide warranty and semi/trailer capability no other shop on our list matches. Channel Ridge still owns the volume crown (233 reviews over 40+ years) and McElderry the highest rating on our list (4.9) — both excellent shops. Willis takes #1 on the combination: current title-holder, unmatched service model, elite rating.

What customers say
“Willis Auto is the best mechanic experience I have ever had in the 60+ years being a driver. We just moved to Salina and were looking for a mechanic to take care of our older model van. A few days ago I took off to run some errands. As I pulled out of the parking lot I discovered I had no brakes. None! I coasted to the curb to google ‘closest car repair’ Willis came up and I gave them a panicked call. They came out to my house immediately. Found the problem in about 10…”
“I had a great experience with this auto care shop! They replaced our entire AC compressor, pulley, and serpentine belt, and everything is working perfectly now. The team was super responsive from start to finish, answering all of my questions quickly and keeping me updated throughout the process.”
“Andrew was very helpful and was able to come out to the highway and fix my truck on the side of the road, saving me money from having to first get towed to a shop or dealer. These guys are great and have 24/7 roadside service, also they were reasonably priced.”
“Had a great experience! They came to my house. I did was able to continue working and they worked on my car right there. No missed hours of work and no getting out in the cold. Thank you for taking great care of me.”
