Nathon and crew did a great and affordable job on my brakes!

These guys helped me out a ton when my car starter stopped working at the worst possible time. Responsive, helpful, reliable, and honest. Everyone else I called either didn't answer the phone or gave vague details and commitments; Leaky Gasket was always straightforward and they delivered.

Very highly recommend! Nathan is super friendly, communicative and scheduling is always a breeze. Everything I’ve had done worked like a charm, and pricing is always fair. I fully trust these folks, and always call them first!

I called this business three times to set an appointment. The third time someone answered and told me to text. I sent a text and they flat out didn’t reply. If you’re busy just say that!

I can't recommend Nathan enough. He was responsive, his prices were fair and transparent, the work was completed quickly, and the quality was great. I am very thankful that he replaced my clutch, and i will continue to go to him for all my car needs.

First used their mobile service to address a noise coming from what seemed to be the front of my car. Mobile "mechanic" came out, rode around in my car for three minutes, poked around aimlessly, then told me it was my back breaks and rotors. Opting to do this myself, there was in fact nothing wrong with the back brakes or rotors, and in fact the rotor shield on the front tire was bent, causing the noise. So I essentially paid $100 dollars to have a guy come out and give me an incorrect diagnosis for a problem that could be solved in 30 seconds. Still, trying to give the in-shop mechanics a chance, I tried to set up an appointment to address a suspension problem months later, and was cut off from responses a few texts in. Not great... *** Would also like to note that after I originally posted this review, the owner promptly texted and called me to say I was the problem and acted like a complete child.

I have been paying outrageous prices to keep my 2005 Toyota running until it broke down completely and I felt defeated. I decided to Google for a mobile mechanic and found The Leaky Gasket. Best car decision I’ve ever made. Nathon was absolutely great! My car wasn’t passing inspection and he did that work and more for a fraction of the cost for minimal repair from a shop. Best news? My car runs like dream, it passed inspection and I have a mechanic I can trust. Don’t hesitate to give Leaky Gasket a call - you deserve to know the truth about your repair needs!

Wait? A business that will come to your car, figure out the problem and fix it all at an affordable rate? Are you kidding me? Mike (the tech providing the service) was FANTASTIC, professional and knocked the job out of the park. Good communication, they showed up on time and at the agreed upon cost. HIGHLY recommend.

Highly impressed with their service, after going to another shop multiple times, these guys fixed my issue within 24 hours at a fraction of the cost. Their mobile service is straight forward and affordable.

Mike and the team was awesome!! Great service and great HONEST people! I got my shocks fixed and it did not take all day.

Really great service and communication. They did it quickly and didn't scalp me on the price.

I’ve had some outstanding experiences with Leaky Gasket, and I cannot recommend Nathan highly enough. He first impressed me when he fixed my friend’s car, which had a plethora of issues. Nathan handled every problem in a truly professional and efficient manner. Nathan is incredibly kind and personable, making you feel comfortable and familiar from the start. When my own car broke down, Nathan went above and beyond any expectation I could have had. His willingness to help and dedication to his work are truly remarkable. Nathan is worth every penny! Thanks to Nathan, my car is now running perfectly. If you’re ever in need of a reliable and dedicated mechanic, Leaky Gasket is the way to go!

My daughter's car was hotwired and stolen. Luckily police found it. Nathan was able to put in a new (and nicer!) ignition very quickly. Definitely recommend this mechanic.

We had them come over to figure out what we did wrong installing a new starter. Within a minute they figured out I forgot to tighten the battery terminal. It's the old joke, you gotta know where to tap the hammer.

Great service - quick and efficient, with fair prices. Thank you for your help today!

Charge me $80 just to look at my vehicle and give me a quote, after I have tried to reach out to him on multiple occasions to get completion of the job I have not received any response. Very sad to see that someone would take advantage of people in such a way. Be careful to give him your money you may not get service as expected.

Nathan is really awesome 💯😎

Quick, kind, professional! 11/10 - lifelong customer now!!

Absolutely amazing pricing. Nathon arrived super early and was very friendly. He fixed a problem another company messed up. He also pointed several possible repairs I could do.
Feb 06, 2024
Awesome service and will come out in an emergency which he has done for me...my go too when he has time on his books
Feb 06, 2024
Did a great job fixing my car. Came to my home, kept me updated on when parts came in, and were honest. Highly recommend.
Feb 06, 2024
Easy to work and explains things from a layman's perspective so easy to understand what's up. Comes to you and professional work
Feb 06, 2024
Excellent communication, super friendly service, very reasonably priced and the job was well done! Will be back!

Found this mysterious coolant leak thats been happening recently, got parts the next day and installed a whole new intake manifold

I just had my first experience with The Leaky Gasket today and I genuinely don’t think I’ll call anyone else ever again if I don’t have to. Nathon was incredible!! I felt so comfortable the whole time, and as a female who’s having someone come to their home that is such a valuable quality for me. Nathon was professional and kind and clearly knows what he’s doing. I needed new breaks and had a mystery squeaking noise, and Nathon quoted me for the worst case scenario but it ended up being less than he thought. He also found out what the noise was and he was able to easily work around my chaotic schedule to find a time to address it later in the week so he can respect his other appointment times but still make sure I’m taken care of. Also, I love to learn, so I really liked how Nathon offered to show me what he was doing, and educated me on how he could tell what was needed. Anyways, 10/10 would highly recommend.

Looking for recommendations for a good and affordable car mechanic. Just had an awesome experience with Nathan at @TheLeakyGasketKC. He was on time and super easy to work with. Couldn't be happier with his service and will definitely be going back to him again.

NEVER going back to a VW Dealer's Service Department! Nathon replaced my 1998 VW Bug's leaking Oil Pressure Switch AND replaced all 4 Brakes/Rotors for 60% less (combined Dealer + Goodyear Service Center estimate). I SAVED $500! Plus: - Nathon was an excellent and responsive texter/communicator - Only pre-payment was to cover cost of purchasing parts - Confirmed appointment time AND sent updates about arrival time on scheduled date - Arrived with a great smile and handshake - Quickly got down to business and completed all work in a timely manner - Finished with a test drive AND a request for me to check regarding persistent oil leak and confirm it was fixed - Offered observations about future service needs WITHOUT pressure. - Offered observations about Bug's structure that were much more genuine than anything I ever get from a dealer - Oil leak GONE plus I know The Leaky Gasket provides a 1 year warranty for all work!!!!! I live in Lee's Summit's suburbs and own my father's '98 VW Beetle (manual), to which I'm very attached. However - finding Nathon's business is awesome. I can afford to hang on to my "Classic" VW for what I hope is another 10 years. If you ever want to validate this review - reach out to Nathon and he can put us in touch.

The Leaky Gasket has saved me on a number of occasions. The fact that he comes to where you are and does a great job and even lets you know when you don’t need to do things which saves money too. Best mechanic I have had over the past 45 plus years.
Feb 06, 2024
Very professional! Very fast! Super convenient! Their technician Nathon is so awesome! He showed me step by step everything he did! Great company!
Feb 06, 2024
We used them twice and were pleased with the way they do business (transparent, good communication) and how they fixed our car (starter and electrical problems, then belts and alternator. Thank you!

He started off doing good, but I’ll tell you what once you have a problem with his job after a while with any or leaks or anything like that he will not come back and fix it even if you under warranty cause he did me like that recently I was under warranty he never came back to seal the oil leak that he done And then he gonna wait two months later and say you not under warranty no more watch out for him the guy he start off cool but at the end your car gonna be messed up he’s not gonna come back and fix it once you do good the first time, that’s when he’ll tell you all will go to the website and give me a good review. #9 Auto Repair The Leaky Gasket Mobile In the absence of any response from the company to this complaint despite our two requests to them, we are c Eur file on this complaint.

I had a wonderful experience with this business! Not only was Nathan able to come diagnose the issue on my Subaru the day I called—he ordered the parts and finished the labor the next day in a very timely fashion. Costs were transparent and reasonable, he showed me what was wrong and how he did the repairs. I am more than satisfied with the work and the commitment to quality. I will absolutely be a return customer and recommend to anyone having car troubles.

Nathan replaced a battery in my daughter's car. The service was quick and professional. Very convenient that we didn't have to have the car towed. Resonably priced. Would 100% use them again.
