Calvert's Express Story

Have you gone from mechanic to mechanic, struggling to find an automotive repair and maintenance specialist you can trust?

Your search is over.

Meet Gary Calvert, your new go-to mechanic, whose goal is to "WOW" you each and every time.

Calvert has spent his entire career making the auto repair and maintenance experience as painless as possible for his customers, first as a manager in Saint Louis then as a supervisor with a chain of nine Midas repair shops in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and six stores also in Wichita, and now as the owner of Calvert's Express Auto Service & Tire.

At Calvert's Express, you can expect fast, friendly and affordable repair and maintenance service from honest, knowledgeable technicians who help you get the most out of your automotive dollar. Gary Calvert has a lot to be excited about, but he most excited about his family's involvement in the business, which like our service, will "WOW" you.

In 2003, Gary Calvert moved to Shawnee with his wife, Lisa, and their three children. He refurbished an old concrete-block garage building and opened the first Express Auto Service & Tire at 7831 Shawnee Mission Parkway in Overland Park. Since those early days, Calvert has expanded the business to eleven locations across the Kansas City metropolitan area: Overland Park, Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, Independence, Waldo, Olathe, Shawnee, KCK, Belton, Raytown, and a huge 12-bay shop at 1501 Main in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

In addition to the Kansas City Metro area, Calvert's Express is rapidly expanding rapidly in the St. Louis Metro area, opening locations in Hazelwood, Rockhill, Arnold, Overland, Bridgeton/St. Ann, Jennings, St. Charles, and Fairview Heights, IL. We are currently working on new locations in Wentzville, South Saint Louis, and Springfield in Missouri; Belleville and Edwardsville in Illinois; and Wichita, Topeka and Lawrence in Kansas.

At all locations, the crews at Calvert's Express Auto Service & Tire always put customers' needs first, and Gary Calvert promises, "If we make a mistake, we'll make it right."

Gary Calvert's promise of fast, affordable and honest service has struck a chord with customers. While Gary now devotes the majority of his time to building the business and expanding his brand by franchising the business coast to coast (click on the FRANCHISE tab above for more information), three trusted supervisors manage the day to day operations of Calvert's Express, and Gary`s wife Lisa, Vice President of Calvert's Express, manages the corporate office, including the Accounting Department.

Calvert's Express Auto Service & Tire is open from 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday. Each and every Calvert's Express location also features a convenient night drop slot.

Ain`t that Right, Gary?

"That's right!"

IMPORTANT NOTICE . . . One of our biggest competitive advantages, and the main reason why we are able to fix your car for a lot less than our competition, is the fact that we purchase parts in bulk and stock them in our own parts warehouse. Our buying power, therefore, is unmatchable, and if anyone tells you differently, they are knowingly misleading you. THEY MAY SAY QUALITY IS THE DIFFERENCE, BUT THE TRUTH IS . . . MOST OF OUR COMPETITORS CARRY NO INVENTORY AT ALL. As a result, our competitors must pay more for their products, and the higher costs are passed on to you, which results in creating a bigger financial burden for you. THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH -- OUR COMPETITORS CANNOT MATCH OUR BUYING POWER. REMEMBER, WHEN YOU PAY MORE WITH OTHER COMPANIES, THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT YOU RECEIVED MORE. AT CALVERT'S EXPRESS, YOU ALWAYS RECEIVE TOP QUALITY PARTS AND SERVICE AT THE LOWEST PRICE POSSIBLE.
