When I found out it was the AC compressor and asked him if I should repair it, he actively talked me out of repairing it because it would be fine. Rachelle C.Nothing to fix? He says so

I love that Kirk runs an honest business and will never try to upsell services that are not needed. Chris K.90 reviews. A perfect 5.0.
Kirk has been the most kind, reliable & trustworthy mechanic I’ve ever known!
Kirk is honest and hard working. Two things I really value in a mechanic.
The most honest mechanic ever. Such a quick turnaround too!
We've taken our vehicles to Kirk for several years now and even though we live all the way over in Springville, it's not even a question that we will travel to American Fork to leave our cars with him.
So responsive, honest, and able to explain things to a non expert and not make me feel inferior or dumb.
He’s also great at explaining the problem in a way that I can understand, which is huge for me!
Competitive pricing, really efficient and honest about what needs to be done.
He was able to diagnose the problem (i was wrong), fix it, and teach me along the way.
I loved supporting an independent business over a huge chain.
