We were referred by a family member, who uses them. Traveling with our 5th wheel from New England means no skimping on certain things, tires and brakes. We needed two tires and rear rotors and pads. The crew at Kendalls we quick and informative, with what they found. In and out in less than 2 hours and all at a fair price. I’d send anyone there.

Here's a 5-star review for Kendall Automotive: I recently took my wife's 2014 Toyota Camry to Kendall Automotive for some much-needed maintenance and repairs, and I couldn't be happier with the service we received. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome and valued as customers. Not only did Kendall Automotive provide excellent customer service, but they also did an outstanding job on the repairs themselves. Our Camry now feels like new again, and we have Kendall Automotive to thank for that. The workmanship was top-notch, and we could tell that the team took pride in their work. Additionally, I was impressed with the time management at Kendall Automotive. They were able to complete the work on our car in a timely manner, which allowed us to get back on the road and back to our daily routine as quickly as possible. Last but not least, I appreciated the fair and reasonable price that we were quoted for the repairs. Kendall Automotive truly went above and beyond to provide us with an exceptional value for the work that was done. Overall, I highly recommend Kendall Automotive for anyone in need of automotive repairs or maintenance. The staff is friendly, the workmanship is outstanding, and the prices are fair. Thank you, Kendall Automotive, for making our experience a positive one!

I took my recently purchased 2010 Nissan Frontier in to have it looked at after the "service vehicle soon" light came on. Turned out to be a fuel control sensor. Kendall's installs OEM parts which are the correct parts so I'm confident that I won't have trouble with that particular sensor again for a very long time. They took my pickup in immediately and had the problem resolved in a short time. I appreciate their work quality and the quick response when I brought it in. I will take my business to them from now on.

I bought a car and had the wrong mileage reported by this company..... They did a report on July 2023 with 111k miles and at August 2023 the older owner return to another services and they report 400k After that all the reports have the correct amount 111k up. I called the company to try to correct and the guy that answered just say that he can't do NOTHING and that HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. Asked me to go there with the car so they can look and see what they can do. So be careful and CONFIRM if they report the correct mileage on your car, so you will not end like me now with a 115k mileage car with 400k wrong report in the middle of all the correct reports. Please I hope that someone with more education can answer me so that this can be reviewed. Thanks

*Edit to my first review: I was reached out by the team at Kendalls. They did have me bring the Traverse in to work on correcting the deficiencies in the a/c. They found where the leak was actually coming from and made a repair. As I write this I am 2 weeks in from when they made the repair. The a/c cools much better than what it did. We will see if it continues. I do still have an issue with this a/c as far as fluctuating temperatures. This may be an unrelated issue. I changed my rating mainly because they did allow me to bring this in and work on correcting it. I appreciate that a lot. I have had my 2019 Traverse in here multiple times for the a/c. At this point they have replaced the compressor, condenser and other parts. I have roughly 3k in to this repair and this a/c still is not working. It’s hard to get it back to them because I live so far away and they don’t do appointments. They also just keep throwing parts at this and it works temporarily and then stops. I use to like wanting to use the local shop especially since I use to go to the gym with the owners. But I have lost faith in this shop.

So I went in for AC repair and now have a soaking wet floor that they won’t take care of for me. I had this car 11 years and the AC worked without soaking the floor. Here’s the note telling me to use a towel. The floor is soaked every single day. $1000 later. I can’t believe this. So the owner responded like he was really concerned and said to email him to resolve the issue but won’t get back to me. Great lip service response. Be careful who you trust.

Great service, quick delivery, done right, and the porch rockers invite you to sit for awhile but that is not necessary. From the time you drive up, you feel welcomed, in good hands, and confident they will treat you right. I even got a handwritten "Thank you" letter in the mail!

I stumbled across this gem when I purchased my home in West Melbourne. I used to take my Volvo S80 to the dealership a few miles down US 192 for all services, but realized I was spending way too much one day after I pulled into Kendall with a slow leak in my tire. The friendly tech came out, checked it, plugged the tire, filled it, and checked/filled the other three. It blew my mind how inexpensive it was. All with a smile. I knew I’d found a new home for my cars, even the expensive ones. Last Christmas, I hit a curb on the side wall of my 2016 Genesis. Done. Not a chance for repair. I called Hyundai, and they quoted over $300 to replace it. I called my guys at Kendall, and I was out the door for $247.39. Same exact tire. My husband is a road warrior, traveling 125 miles round trip each day for work. Recently, his Cadillac SRX needed an oil change, wiper blades and a Freon charge. I brought it in around noon with the full understanding it would be there all afternoon. It was done within less than 2 1/2 hours. Bob initially joked that it seriously needed a wash, and it really did. When I picked it up, in addition to a very reasonable price for all the requested work AND a free tire rotation, we received a coupon for a free car wash. What a nice touch. This is the only place my husband and I will trust to take care of our cars, unless something is under warranty. The work is professionally done, reasonably priced, and we are truly treated like family. That’s a super nice bonus! What more can I say, other than that Kendall is locally owned and operated, and that means it’s our kind of place. Bob is grouchy only so often, but he makes up for it with his witty jokes and expressions. Bob, Jeff, Brian and the Kendall crew, we love you! 2022 UPDATE: We’ve since replaced my husband’s Cadillac with a Tesla Y. Yeah, nice trade up, but unfortunately the Tesla dealerships in Orlando and Merritt Island are a HUGE disappointment. Can never reach a live person, and the Merritt service location broke one of our after-market caliper covers during installment. No remuneration for the loss. Items were missing from the car, too! Not good to be inept and untrustworthy to boot, Tesla ‘Service’! We bought another set, took it to Bob and his team, and DONE! No problems. Today, we took the Tesla in for what turned out to be a torn splash guard. We were very worried it was something more, especially with the sound it was making at high speeds. We asked Bob to rotate the tires too. DONE. Now my Genesis is in for a 40K service. I know it’ll be done right and I can feel safe and secure. THAT’S worth it’s weight in GOLD. Hyundai will never see me again unless there’s a recall or warranty issue, and even then I’m hesitant to deal with them. Thank you again and again, Bob, Jeff, Brian and all the Kendall Crew!

I’m so impressed with this company. I’ve been dealing with other companies in the past 30 yrs. Had a company I had used for years then the owner retired and I never trusted the new owner or the employees. Then I went to another “ franchise “ company and the last time I was there , I knew I’d never go back. I’m grateful for the friends referral and for not having the feeling” oh, her comes a female, how much can we take advantage “!!!!! Local and the employees are friendly, knowledgeable and ethical. Thank you for your great service and getting me back on the road with a great working vehicle!!!

Least helpful group of people in the world, place is dingy and run down and the guys don’t even look up at you when you walk in the door. Never used them and glad to say I never will. Do better, or have fun going under

Kendall's has been my go-to for any car service for years. I first found them over 10 years ago, and as a single woman, it was wonderful knowing I wasn't going to get taken advantage of. I would recommend this place to ANYONE & EVERYONE, but especially Veterans!

I can’t stress enough how amazing these people are. On a few occasions now I have had to come in with my ram 1500 to get some things fixed and they have been nothing but amazing. They have even given me rides back-and-forth between my home while they are fixing certain things and they are very nice people and it’s a very nice environment, clean bathroom, nice out front seating while you wait.If you need any help This should be the first place you go

I pulled in 4:30 with a slow leak in one tire. The technicians immediately jacked the car up, removed the tire, found the nail, plugged the tire, remounted the tire by 4:35. I paid and was on my way by 4:40. The guys have a future in NASCAR! Impeccable service! Thanks!

This is not my first experience with Kendall Automotive and it will not be my last. I have been very happy with their customer service and mechanic work. Frank was good at getting me back on the road. I find them to be trustworthy and professional. GOOD PEOPLE.

I’ve brought both my cars here a few times now and have had nothing but positive experiences. This most current time there was a problem with my car that was under warranty by the manufacturer. I did not know this. These guys could have told me the problem, how much they charge, and I would have never known the difference and had them fix it. Instead, they not only told me about it. But printed out the warranty from the manufacturer so the dealership couldn’t play games with me. I have dealt with Doug on every occasion so far. And I can say he is a stand up guy!

I was driving down the freeway and my tire light came on. I pulled over and heard a hissing sound from a screw in the tire. I did manage to get the spare on. Back on the road, I found Kendall Automotive just by chance. The Service Advisor had me bring my car to the side of the building and a mechanic would meet me there. It was a hot day and so I went inside to cool off while he repaired my tire in the heat of midday. I could see him patching the tire and then taking the spare back off and replacing it with my newly repaired tire. He then put the spare back in its tire well and locked it in. He had put everything back in its place. The whole process took about 15 minutes. I went to pay and the Gentlemen behind the counter said, No charge. I was shocked and also very thankful. In this day in age when businesses charge 3% to a customer for using a VISA or an Airline charging more for an exit row, it's unheard of for a company to say... No Charge. No Charge for the work, for the quick turnaround or getting me out of a jam. I will definitely be back to buy new tires from Kendall, even though its 30 miles from my home. Thank you, Chris Simmons

THE BEST! Hands down the best mechanics in town. I have been using them for over a year and couldnt be more thrilled with their work. They now take care of my car and my dads car. Fair pricing and they kept me updated with the status of my vehicle. Will not take my business anywhere else! Thank you to all the staff at Kendall!!!!
