Chris is so nice. An auto repair shop which is actually a pleasure to deal with is rare. Swift service at a fair price

I discovered this gem of a place when my car wouldn't start one late afternoon. AAA let me know it wasn't the battery and asked if I wanted it towed somewhere. The dealership couldn't look at it for a couple of weeks. When I called Ken Symer Automotive, the owner's wife took my call and assured me that my car would be in good hands. She told me to have it towed to their shop. Chris, the owner, let me know what the problem was (alternator), quoted me a fair price for the parts and labor, and had my car fixed and ready the very next morning. I trust Chris and his team to take care of my car from now on. Thank you Chris and Itzel! I will recommend your business to everyone!

I was visiting Santa Barbara and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my car key. Ken tested my key fob battery and had me set with a new one in just ten minutes. Very attentive service, honest and reliable.

Been taking my car to Ken since he was there with Pino. Wouldn't go anywhere else. They go above and beyond. Price is right.

Every once in a while you run across a business where not only is the owner super engaged with the business and focused on great customer service, but has also somehow managed to convey this spirit to his/her entire team. Everyone I've met or talked to at the shop has always been incredibly friendly and over-the-top helpful. Ken is a super nice person, and seems like a generally high-quality human being. The shop is clean and well-organized, and they genuinely seem to care about helping customers solve problems (rather than the usual disinterested shrug you often get from repair shops). I've not had any tricky work done yet, as I just discovered the shop for a relatively minor issue (dead battery), but I was so impressed that it will definitely be my first call the next time I need "real" work done.
