Actually recommended to me by another local shop for an electric problem that was killing my battery everynight. They found the problem and yanked a fuse, problem solved! Clearly very smart guys for troubleshooting.

If you don't have a personal mechanic, the service and attitude and atmosphere will bring you back, very honest and reliable.

Honest shop that sometimes finishes a job under the original estimated price, which is pretty rare. Solid mechanical, and top notch electrical, work done here.

He is honest about your car issues, does quality work, and tries to get cars fixed in a timely manner. I have been going there for a long time.

Excellent service and the car runs great now. Also, the headlights do not only look a whole lot better but they work much better too. Much safer. Thank you.

Keith and Eric are quite the team of trouble shooters and problem solvers. When you have a heavily modified 350 fuel injected Chevy motor and 5 speed mated to a Jaguar independent rear suspension in your 1958 Ferrari, there is no manual to follow. Only years of experience and fundamental understanding of all of the electrical and mechanical systems are useful and available to resolve the issues. Steve Angus, Cardiff-by-the-Sea

I have known and used Keith Heckmans services since he started out as a mobile service in the seventies. Eric was just a baby.(probably still is LOL). He has always been fair and knowledgeable with the many different projects I have encountered and needed help on.

These guys are awesome! I was traveling from out of state and heard some clunking from my engine. Turns out it was an easy fix and they had me out of there in 1.5 hours. Seem super honest and fair-priced.

Honest and reliable mechanic. I brought my 2004 Infiniti G35 in for what I thought was a complicated electrical problem. Turns out it was a super simple fix and Keith cut the original estimate in half. I'll take my car there first from now on.

Eric and Keith helped me restore my 1929 Model A woodie station wagon. This car has been in my family for 57 years, and was a project that required taking it down to the frame and building back up. I have been impressed with their expert knowledge, generosity, honesty and humor. I have recommended them to relatives and friends and feel fortunate to have chosen them to work on my Model A and other vehicles that I own.

Tried to present a electric complex issue to the bald man with a mustache in the office. We spoke for about 2 mins and every single word he said to me was some type of condescending. Not sure if he didn't like me or if he's only nice to other older white men or if he didn't want to work on a Toyota (the garage is full of old Ford trucks) or if it was just a bad morning for him but the vibe was absolutely foul.

Keith misdiagnosed my last to repairs I brought to him He charged me quite a bit and produced nothing. He seems to be very disagreeable and sticks to his story. No sense in taking your car to have a condescending cranky know it all take your money.

AND, when my Dealer Warranties end, my cars are then serviced at Keith's Auto! Our cars can be very personal and emotional possessions, and Keith & Eric treat the cars AND the Owners with care and caring! Sincerely, Dale Andrews At Keith's Automotive you can expect outstanding workmanship; only the necessary and needed repairs; and trustworthiness!...Keith and Eric treat me as a valued customer, and treat my car as a valued possession!...My 2004 Corvette has been, and will ALWAYS only be trusted to service work by Keith and Eric!...As a long time customer, this is my third 5 STAR review (and I have never written anyone more than one 5 STAR review), because they deserve to be recognized!
