Kenny’s Auto Service

Wow, same day service, excellent pricing and friendly service!

I’ve taken one of my cars there twice. The quality of the work is good, but the service is terrible. They always seem to be doing you a favor. The third time I went nobody even noticed I was there until I had go pull someone from inside a car they were fixing. At 4:40pm he said I had to come back tomorrow, because «they closed at 5pm». I always had felt mistreated as a customer at this shop, and it’s the last chance I gave them. NEVER GOING BACK NOR RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

I have known Phil and Kenny for over 10 years. I took in a BMW E36 M3 that started leaking at the front crank shaft seal. I suspected that this may be the start of a bigger problem, so I asked if they could perform a check on the entire drivetrain to make sure there weren’t any more problems. As it turned out, there was a small leak coming from a power steering hose, and another small leak that developed at the rear main seal. I opted to have them change out ALL the seals, gaskets (minus the head gasket), and power steering hoses. While they had the transmission out of the car, they called me down to the shop to look at the clutch. They showed me mine and compared it to a new one. Mine had significant wear and would have probably lasted another year (almost down to the rivets). I then opted to have the clutch replaced (which also took care of the nasty clutch pedal squeak, and charged no additional labor). I got the repair bill and it was considerably less than what I expected (a third of what a dealer would charge, parts included). They performed the work during the week, and even warrantied everything. After putting 15,000 miles on my M3 and 9 months later, there is not a single leak, and the clutch works perfectly. I highly recommend them. Be patient with their neighbors, as they share the spaces and the parking lot does get crowded.

Brought my truck in to check starter as it was not working sometimes and I was told that starter was fine and that it was my timing belt that needed replacement. I was quoted $ 1600 to replace it. When I went to pick up the truck I was told that once he got in there he discovered I had blown a valve so he repaired that also. I was told the starter was fine and he noted that on my receipt.
$ 2400 and over a week later I got my truck back. While I thought he was overpriced I was happy to be back on the road. Two weeks later my truck wouldn’t start. I brought it back to Kenny and he said that it was the starter. I reminded him I had brought the truck to him originally for that problem and he said that he had recommended that it be replaced and that I said don’t replace it. I told him that he clearly stated on my invoice that the starter was fine and it was the timing belt he recommended be replaced. He said I must be lying. Then he said he would replace the starter if I wanted to leave the truck. Obviously I feel like I was not only ripped off but insulted. Now I wonder if I ever really needed the $ 2400 repair at all. Not an ethical guy and I would never recommend this business to anyone.

Fast and Reliable. My family and I have been going here for years. And sometimes… Just sometimes, they don’t charge if it’s
something small. Don’t quote me on that!

I don’t even know where to start. We brought our car here for some repairs, to fix oil leaks & heating problems. They advised us that we needed a rebuilt motor. This took them about 3 months to put in the motor, in the mean time we were without our 2^nd car. We had to even rent a car. They finished it supposedly, and it still was heating up and breaking down. We took it back and they said they were going to fix it. They gave us a loaner car because we threatened to sue, and again it was months to get our car back. This time they put in a used engine. Mind you, between these visits the clutch went out, and other things broke on it. It had a one year warranty, and we took it back over 6 times. They said they were done, and we still have oil leaks. A different mechanic recently said they should of replaced all the items that connected to the motor, but they all were still old. This place charged us $ 5000+. They even broke something on the dash, which wasn’t even related. I wish I can gather how many receipts we have for this place. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR FOR REPAIRS HERE, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

Been here few times, and will be my LAST Time, Work was done on my car and price and you be the judge,
2001 HONDA CIVIC :
OIL CHANGE + replacing a headlight bulb driver side and Brake light driver side.
$ 112.00. wow.

Came here to balance 2 front tires because my steering wheel was shaking on the highway.
Was a little surprised they were more expensive ($ 30 for 2 tires) than Wheel Works I had just called ($ 25).
But Wheel Works couldn’t do it the same day, and these guys could do it right away so I went for them.
They did the job fairly quickly, but the issue wasn’t fixed (steering wheel kept shaking).
They asked for cash and gave me no receipt (I guess them lucky guys won’t pay taxes that way, but if they happen to have screwed something up, then I don’t even have a receipt to prove it…).
Since the steering wheel was still shaking after that and I had a bad feeling about the job they did, I went to another shop and had the wheels balanced again. I was told the balancing was way off and also that a mistake had been made in how the weights had been attached.
Clearly the other shop was right because after they did the job no more steering wheel shaking.
So basically Kenny’s did a totally unacceptable job and didn’t even give me a receipt for it. Crooks plus bad mechanics = definitely not going there again.

There is a reason why Kenny’s Auto Service has such high rating, its because its true. I went in today and got a very competitive pricing for some maintenance reapirs to my Honda CRV. His prices were extremely competitive and he would only perform the repairs if it was needed. I dropped by car in at 8 am and it was done by 4 pm. He is very friendly and competent. It’s no wonder I was recommended to him by a family friend. I would definitely go again.

Brought my parents Acura MDX here roughly a couple months ago for an oil change because I couldn’t get the oil drain plug off (must have over tightened it last change). Anyway, this is one of the nearest full service shops to home so I decided to give them a call after seeing overall good reviews. I believe it was something like $ 18 and I told them I was going to bring in my own oil and filter.
I could have sworn that I told them this when I got there as well. Somehow they missed the oil and filter on the passenger side floor mat… Anyway, they still only charged me $ 18 and it wasn’t until after I got in the car that I realized it. I was cool with it. One of the young guys who works here as a Supra that has over 700rwhp. Some guy came in and was like «damn! whos car is that?»

My family takes all of our cars here for the past 7 years, and we don’t trust taking them anywhere else. From getting the oil changed to repairs or collision damage, they are top notch with good prices. Service is always quick and their hours are convenient. Highly recommended!

No complaints here! Our brakes needed to be worked on, so we called first thing on Saturday morning and our car was fixed within 2 – 3 hrs. They close early at 2:30pm on Saturdays but it was great to know they’d have the job completed in due time.
Our bill was surprisingly lower than we expected and we’ll be back in the future if we need more work done. We were just so tired of Midas and wanted to try another business.

WOW! Thats all I got to say. Kenny Auto Service deserves more than 5 stars. $ 38.50 for smog check with all the papers and he also checked underneath my car for any problems, since it was making noise. This is such a great and honest place. I love their morals and that they dont try to rip me off because Im a girl. Very Honest people and they dont over charge. Come and give them business. Dont go any where else.

SUPER GREAT SERVICE, KNOWLEDGEABLE TECHNICIANS & REASONABLE PRICES!
Thanks Kenny & family for everything! I will be coming back for more services real soon!

I’ve had Kenny do car repairs for years. You’ll be hard pressed to find a cheaper place to get your car fixed. Kenny is straightforward and honest and won’t try to gouge you with unnecessary repairs or overcharge you for parts. He also has a reasonable turnaround time.
Kenny Auto is a family owned business that’s been around for years, you don’t last that long by being dishonest. If I had to guess most of his business are repeat customers and referrals.
Can’t recommend Kenny Auto enough if you need to fix your car up.

I’ve been a fan of Kenny’s Auto for more than ten years. Recently, I took a car for a smog check near where I work in Dublin. The shop was dishonest and tried to charge me for additional services that were not needed. I left without paying.
Kenny smog checked the car again and it passed. All for a reasonable price. It was done quickly and he made some simple recommendations to keep the old car running as he knows I do my own maintenance.
Thanks Kenny!

I took my car to get it serviced. They were super nice and took care of my car. They let me know exactly what they were going to do and explained the things I didn’t understand. Awesome place! I’ll b coming back

By far the best place I’ve gone to get my car fixed. I originally brought my old Lexus ES 300 to Kenny. He kept it running well past 150K miles. I have also brought my Honda Civic and Mercedez C320.
I never feel ripped off, and he always finishes the work when he tells me it will be completed. Really great service.

Horrible.
I took this recommendation from a friend. Although he may have had wonderful service, I will never return.
We went in for a regular (60K) service. The first omen was that they called and said they put oil in the spark plug hole (plugs were also getting replaced). Their solution was to run it for a day (and empty my gas tank) to burn off as much oil as possible. Ever drive a car burning that much oil? You create huge plumes of smoke as you accelerate. You make a lot of friends on the roads when your car smokes like a chimney.
It took months to finally burn the oil off. I had to postpone the smog test, since there was no way it was going to pass. They didn’t offer any discount for making my life miserable with the oil blunder, but he did sell us a set of tires (which we needed) at a discount.
Upon picking up the car, three of the four tires had the «This Side In» facing the outside. Yes, they installed the tires incorrectly. As I learned, installing the tires incorrectly only degrades the ability to shed water, but had to be done before winter rains set. So, another day without the car to rotate the tires.
It gets better. When they replaced the tires, they didn’t replace the valve stems. The result, three flats over a period of 4 weeks. Three more appointments, and some nervous tire changes on the side of the freeway.
The end result? I have a stack of documentation detailing my service follow-​ups from my original call. One more issue, and I take them to small claims court.
Buyer beware.

Excellent, excellent service. Although I got my first major service beginning of this year (45K maintenance), I actually came here once about 2 years ago because of my 30K maintenance checkup. First I took my car to another place closer to my house, got my checkup done there for a couple hundred, but they found another problem they couldn’t figure out. They decided they wanted to charge me a couple hundred more to rebuild the differential (or change the seal or something), and I thought nooo way. so I took my car to Kenny’s due to someone’s recommendation. They took my car, figured out that it was just a few loose bolts in the back, charged me about $ 15 to tighten those things up, and I drove home the same day, clacking noise free.
So of course, I had to come back for my 45K maintenance. I spelled out what I wanted them to do (according to my car manual) and they said they had the exact copy of my manual and knew what needed to be done. They at first estimated it to be a little over $ 100 for everything, but once they found out that I did in fact need some of my fluids replaced… they gave me a call to let me know, and it came out to be around $ 140. Still not bad for a checkup. Definitely coming for any future maintenance my car may need.
