The plaques are on the shop wall.
KQ2 runs a viewers’ choice vote across St. Joseph every year. Repair shop went to Parker’s three years running, and the award plaques hang right above the office window, next to two more from 2017 and 2018.
What we do
Plain work, done right, explained in plain words.
Repair and maintenance
General auto repair, maintenance and troubleshooting. Big or small, domestic or foreign, bring it in.
Oil changes
In and out without the upsell. One customer wrote that we changed the oil way cheaper than anyone else.
Check engine lights
We track down what the light is actually about, explain it in plain words, and fix it.
A/C service
The banner on the building says it: get cold A/C today. Summer in Missouri is not the time to wait.
State inspections
Missouri safety inspections, and we're an official motorcycle inspection station too.
Tires and flats
Flats, swaps and spares. A traveler with a split camper tire got changed out and back on the road.
Don’t see your problem on the list? Call anyway. We service all vehicles, big or small, and if it’s something we don’t handle we’ll say so up front instead of wasting your week.
1003 S Belt Hwy. Between Lafayette and Seneca, right on the South Belt.

The shop
Family owned, and it runs like it.
James Parker runs the shop. We opened on 38th Street in January 2016, and these days you’ll find us on the South Belt highway between Lafayette and Seneca. Customer service is our number one priority, and with over 20 years of experience in auto repair, maintenance and troubleshooting, there isn’t much that rolls in here we haven’t seen before.
You get told what’s wrong, what it costs, and what can wait. Reviewers keep writing the same two things about us: the price was lower than they expected, and somebody took the time to explain the work. That’s the whole recipe.

What customers say
Read them yourself.
“Have used Parkers several times and they have always done a great job at a very reasonable price. They always get me in very quickly and most of the time they are able to get it done the same day. Quality work at an affordable price! Very satisfied. Highly recommended!!!”
“I had a check engine light come on. Parker's was able to fix it and changed the oil way cheaper than anyone else. When the gave me the final price I was pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend given them your business.”
“Traveling in our camper and a tire split. Were able to make it to Parkers Auto repair. The young man, Noah, was busy, but got us in and changed the tire out with the spare and sent us on our way. We did expect to wait awhile. Allowed me to take my dog inside the waiting room (heat wave). Great customer service. The auto place next door had recommended Parkers.”
“Really great mechanics, better customer service than any of the mechanics I've dealt with in the past at other shops. The way the mechanic explained what he did to my car and gave me helpful information moving forward makes me trust that they do good work and take the work they do very seriously. I will definitely continue to take my vehicles here and highly recommend to others!”
Above the office window
Five plaques and counting.
Award plaques from 2017 through 2021 hang in a row over the window, including the KQ2 Best of St. Joe repair shop award three years straight. Come in for an oil change and count them.
