Great service. Very knowledgeable mechanics. I've taken all of my cars and my children's to the brothers for repair and service. Bill and Wally are the best.

These guys have been around a long time. They are honest and get the job done with no fuzz. The prices are reasonable. Defiantly a keeper!

I have actually been going to KBros for over 15 years, so I trusted them when they sold me a Toyota Camry for my daughters first vehicle/college car. The car had an over heating problem from the get go, which he blamed on my daughter not checking her water regularly (I never check the water in my car). We had the car towed to them no less than 4 more times, whenever the car was boiling over on the freeway, on on her way to school. The kept the car for days at a time, replaced this and that time and again, and we always had the same problem. After returning from overseas (I gave my daughter my car and put hers in storage) O got the car and immediately had the same issues. After spending over $1,000 on KBros, I took it to a friends mechanic, that found the car was running on 3 cyliners, and that one spark plug was a little over finger tight, while another almost took a pry bar to get out. He also found that the cooling system was set up completely back-assward, and that some of the lines were clogged soild... no flow. In about 30 minutes and less than $50, the car was running better than it ever had, and has not overheated once. Additionally, I had the drivers power window fail and was quoted $250 by KBros. I called my other mechanic who replaced the regulator (part was $45 at AutoZone) and installed it for $40 in less than a 1/2 hour. I paid the guy $100 for everything, and still spent less than half of what KBros wanted. Overall, don't be fooled by the friendly jive and joking at KBros, they will rip you blind, particularly if you're a female.

I originally wrote:"The work was done well." The next day I found that the oil leak was still present. So, they did not solve the problem! It took considerably longer than I thought that it would. I need to change the sparkplugs. I planned to do that myself. The problem is that I left my Haynes Toyota truck manual for my 1996 Tcoma on the seat in the truck. When I returned to pick it up it was missing. After a lot of searching of my truck and my residence, I felt (you cannot look) deep under the bech seat on the passanger side. I found the manual--way in the back under the seat! I never store it there. I store it behind the driver's side back rest. The oil leak is still present.

To tell you Mr. Bill I am afraid of my life and I refuse to come to your establishment because of the past experience I had with you and your friend. You are fully aware of what took place, because of your friend I ended up in the hospital for chest pain. I was diagnosed that I had a first stage of a heart attack called Angina and I had to under go surgery. I know you and your friend will not give anything about it because it did not affect you two. It only affected me and my family. Comments I left on Yelp is the truth nothing but the truth Mr. Bill. I did not lie on the comments I left on Yelp. *Mr. Bill when I dropped off the car 03/30/12 right after the smog check from your son’s smog place you took 1.5 months to diagnose and tell me it needed valve job. Why? You are the one who runs the auto repair business not me. 05/15/12 is the day I came and settle your check. When I told about how you took 1.5 months diagnose my family friends were shocked to hear? On top of that you did so many smog checks. Proof is with me Mr. Bill. Even the BAR questioned it from me. You are the so called auto expert not me. How come you took so long? The time you took is enough to replace a brand new engine. How many times I called you to check on the car. You said you are still diagnosing the problem. WOW. You cannot neglect your customers Mr. Bill. Need to have the efficiency and to deliver your service on time. *You knowingly sent me to your friend Mickey when you knew he fixed your C230 (Mercedes Benz beige in color) transmission twice and it did not move after that. It was sitting in your joint for many years Mr. Bill. You knowingly recommending a customer to your friend, who you know cannot perform. I feel like that is a crime. Could it be your poor management skills or poor judgment on your part? Or does not care for your customers? Value your customers Mr. Bill. You need to learn a lot about everything. You are the one who told me after all this mess started falling down that Mickey fixed your C230 transmission twice. If I knew it before your recommendation, I would have run out from your shop. Mickey is not my friend (Hell No) it is your friend who messed me up. I know you sold the car and I am the one who took the pictures and sent it to your buyer Mr. Bill. Even that so, you told me you sold it for $1000. I have all the records of it. You are the one who recommend this guy to me Mr. Bill. You made the call from your shop and I spoke to him. To tell you Mr. Bill, if my friend or my business buddy does that to me specially I will never ever recommend or allow him to step in to my establishment. So, you can see I did not lie on Yelp. I just told the truth where people can see. There is so mcuh to write. And it will be an award winning book about this joint. There is a thing called Karma.

K Brothers has been a godsend for me. As a lady who does not know much about cars it is hard to find a mechanic you trust. The owner of K Brothers goes out of his way to find the most economical way to fix your car! He lets you know all of your options. On a budget this is nice because knowing I could not do the "big fix" he had options for me to get by until I can. There is no reason for me to take my car anywhere else.

Honest, not going to up-sell you, not going to nickel-and-dime you. I have purchased a couple used cars and I always take them to K Bros before committing. They give it a good look and will honestly tell you if it's a good buy. Recently I was shopping for a used car to take camping and drive off the highway he rejected two cars and finally said the third one was a good buy. It's been a great vehicle! I avoided thousands of dollars in repairs because of Bill! I trust him with all of our cars.

Love the K brothers! Local family owned business, very honest and trustworthy, great prices, fast service. Two sweet old guys, looking after everyone's cars in Huntington Beach, and they have a small staff come in on busy days. Wonderful people! Auto body, paint, collision, repair, oil change, and other scheduled maintenance. Very nice guys.

My van overheated out of nowhere and I was lucky to be near this shop. They let me bring it right in and informed me of a slipped engine belt. They then quickly discovered that my tensioner was crooked and quickly replaced it and had me back on the road in less than an hour. Repair costs were about what you'd expect but for this area I'd say it was cheap. Great mechanics here and they won't try to take advantage of you. I travel a lot but anytime I am in Huntington I will be taking my van here. If you live locally I really can't recommend this place enough. First class.

K Brothers is Awesome. Bill is great! I found them in a Ad in the Local News and was referred by friend that they are the best place to take your car if in need. They do high quality work and are very honest about what needs to be done to fix your vehicle.They are super trustworthy and the prices are outstanding. ALL TRUE!!! Thanks again K Brothers for your service! I will recommend you to all my friends & family.

KBrothers is the only place I trust! After someone hit my car, the insurance company tried to send me somewhere that would quickly fix my car & not even look for damage under the bumper and other areas that could show up later and devalue my car. Bill thoroughly examined my car to make sure there was no hidden damage and made it look brand new! If you are looking for reasonable pricing with quality work above and beyond, come here, Bill will take very good care of you.

I've been a customer of K Brothers Automotive for many years now. Bill, Wally and the whole, are Friendly, Conscientious, and Detail Oriented. Their work is done quickly, flawlessly attending to even the smallest of details. In addition, their fees are always extremely reasonable. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND K Brothers Auto to anybody looking for quality automotive or auto body repair work. You truly can't go wrong with K Bros!!

A few bolts from my driver door were stripped and I couldn’t remove the door. I had taken the my car to a different shop and right way they denied me service. I stopped at K brothers and they were so helpful. I will definitely come back and recommend all my friend to here.
