They will always give you a fair price, work quickly, and will never scam you! In a world of scammy auto shops, this is a gem!

These guys have been around the block and know what they’re doing. They deal in reality and clearly communicate what’s needed & what’s not. They’re also clear about what they can do by when. Their prices are reasonable and I’ve always trusted their advice.

Very professional and trustworthy. Finding a good mechanic or auto repair place is finding your favorite pizza spot. I would recommend Kevin’s auto to anyone. I’ve never been disappointed with any job they have done and highly recommend them to anyone.

Kevin’s is our go-to for auto repair. They’re reliable and friendly. If they can’t get you in same-day they’ll suggest a trusted alternative. The one time we went to a different mechanic (what we thought would be a quick oil change but ended up getting upsold) we immediately regretted it!

Great guys. I live a few blocks from Kevin’s shop and can’t recommend them enough. When my car needed a jump they trusted me with their portable jumper without even asking who I was. When I needed some mechanical work done on a tire they completed the work expeditiously and refused payment since the work was very minor. Awesome guys to trust with all your car repair needs.

My car has been having starting problems since mid-September, and I even had to call a tow truck. But the tow truck master woke up the program and started my car. After that, I was afraid that there would be no way to start it again, so I drove the car directly to Dealership.
Since it was a Saturday, they said they had to wait until Monday for a mechanic to inspect the car, and the inspection fee would be $257.
My husband and I discussed it and started the car several times, but nothing happened. We just drove the car away, and surprisingly the same problem didn't occur for a week. Another Saturday, my car stopped working again at the same time. I had no choice but to send it to Stress Free Auto Repair, and unexpectedly found that their inspection fee was $56. They were the only repair shop I could find that was open on Sundays. As a result, they tested all the programs and found no problems, and there were no abnormalities every time they started. We were notified on Monday to pick up the car. Since no problems were found, they did not charge us any fees (I think they are very sincere about this).
On the third Saturday, the car went on strike again. My husband joked: Maybe he really wants to implement a weekend weekend system. This nearly month of strike protest is just hoping that we can accept this suggestion hahaha. The very next Wednesday, as expected, the car actually stalled at the traffic light (it was waiting for the light to turn red, but luckily it wasn't halfway). My friend recommended Kevin's Auto Repair, and I sent my car to their place the next day without even thinking about it. Their have full of orders (there were at least 20 people in front of me, and there were several car repairmen working at the time. Including Kevin, they were all over fifty, and two of them were about the same age as my grandfather, and they looked very experienced.) I was afraid that the engine would stall halfway, so I drove straight to the area where they were repairing the car. Although I was accused of not blocking the entrance and exit, they still patiently came over and led me to park somewhere else. When I started it again, it started up. As soon as the master heard this, he said it was a problem with the Starter. I originally wanted to wait on site, but he saw that I was a little anxious and embarrassed. Said we would give you a quotation and plan as soon as possible, go home and wait. You see, there are more than 20 people waiting in line in front of you. I took a look at the quotation on the table. Still took a taxi home.
While waiting, I wanted to minimize the cost of repairing the car. I called 5-6 companies to get quotes (I asked them to break down the Starter and Labor fees), including Dealership, and they were all between $1,000 and 1,500. In the afternoon I received a quote from Kevin, $554.65. It’s more than half cheaper than all the ones I consulted. I asked them to fix it at that time and gave me some time. They said they could pick it up at 8:30 the next morning. Love the service??

Great service, great folks, great value. Don't go if you're looking for fancy wait rooms or spotless floors lol, but definitely go if you want to be treated with respect and honesty while your vehicle gets fixed by the best.

Kevin's Auto Repair is consistently good. They do a good job and take care of their customers. I've been going there for years and see no reason to go anywhere else.

This is the best place and Kevin's knowledge is the best I've ever seen. He is honest, reasonable and gets the job done with care and efficiency. My highest recommendation. Both my wife's and my Mercedes Benz have found a mechanic. Thanks.

2017 - Stopped by Kevins' on my way to work seeking a second opinion and a quotation for repairs on a 1999 4-Runner. The local Toyota dealer said "replace CV-boot" and various front-end bushings. Another local repair shop wanted $65 (non-refundable, not to be applied to service work) just to take a look. After a three minute wait, Kevin (himself) just went out, shimmied under the front wheel area, and checked it out. When I bent down to look too, he held a little mirror and his flashlight and explained what we both saw together.
Bottom line - Normal Wear and Tear - slight leak - Monitor but don't replace anything now - maybe tighten a clamp next time I have a service.
No charge - no work $ for him - ... His comment when asked... "We don't do make believe here"(!).
I now fully intend to be back with real work. He won a new (non make-believe!) customer.
Regular customer for 6+ years.
Update - 2023/2024 -
Still 5 stars - 2009 Camry oil change - "We noticed some dried water spots - you need to replace the water pump". (Oh no, the scam scheme has started...sigh, wait, think...). I marked the H20 reservoir, and after 6 months, the level had not appreciably changed. But(!) I did notice water splash on the lower frame area near the wheel well under the pump area. Dried it throroughtly (just left over rain, right?). After a round trip to SFO on a sunny day- checked. The little 1/4 teaspoon of water was there again. A very, very slow leak. Online search shows it is probably a deliberate, weep-hole signal by Toyota that internal seals are wearing out (14 year old car). Replaced pump at same quote from 9 months previous. No more little puddles, peace of mind. Thanks!

Kevin is an affable person who helped me with my regular car maintenance. The prices are very reasonable and it's my husband and my go-to place for any car related issues.

A rare occasion when you can actually trust your mechanic not to screw you. The only draw back is that they are popular. I suggest you call first and make an appointment if possible.
