My heater started going out and my car would start to over heat but not get completely hot. Figured it was the thermostat and changed it. Refilled the fluids and it was fine for a day, then it started again. Added more fluids, same thing, fine for a day and then happen again. It’s been pissing rain so unable to determine if it’s leaking or not. Call Kevin’s on Friday when he opened. Brought it in, water pump and timing belt need to be replaced. I don’t have the money so tell him I’m going to pick it up. It is 10am at this point. Call him back at 11:15 because my people all came thru for me, definitely not expecting him to be able to do the work but still hoping as he was closing for the holidays and wouldn’t be back until the 5th. He agreed and got my car done and running better than previously before 4PM. He saved me in a tight spot. I also called around and most places were double or triple the price. Thank you Kevin!

My car stopped working around 130pm, I called Kevin freaking out because its my only transportation. Kevin was able to get a VERY reasonably priced towtruck to me, AND fixed my car by 4pm. And I thought it was my transmission but he let me know it wasn't a huge issue and just my sparkplugs! Saved me THOUSANDS of bucks.. I moved to Tacoma from bothell and had a trusted mechanic there. I couldn't find one here until I found Kevin's auto repair! Honest prices, fixed it quickly and he was VERY friendly! This will be the ONLY mechanic I go to from now on!

I tell everyone about Kevin's auto repair. He has been so fare with me. He and his crew does not try to get over on me. I get my brakes done and oil changes. I'm a female and I research my cadillac on every problem I have and let him know that I believe it that problem. I'm not a professional and the last say is him. I am pro-active in seeking about my car and I have fixed minor things myself. As long as he is in bussiness I will never take my car anywhere else. They are good people with a fair price.

5 trillion stars if I could give them. My 2010 Hyundai Tucson manual was 1 second stalling on me while going about 40-60 mph on the freeway (misfire?). I tried to figure out what was happening on my own like my daddy taught me. I cleaned my own throttle with seafoam top GDI, ran seafoam in the oil and gas tank then, researched it down to needing a new coil pack and a new crankshaft sensor, which I bought myself... (I had already put in new ngk plugs myself) BOOM! My car was fixed. He is honest and just an amazing guy. If I coulda changed the coil pack and sensor myself (I'm a girl, I have no tools 😂) I would have but Jesus blessed me with Kevin Auto, my daddy is smiling down on me from heaven for finding such an amazing repair shop on my own. I've been going to him since back in the D D D Day when he was on hilltop. He is a blessing to the black community and everyone else too. I cannot thank him enough.

I had a heater core installed. After driving for few days I realized that there is more cold air than hot coming out of the heater. Laying on my back on the floor of the truck looking under the dashboard I found that when the heater box was reinstalled they let a 3/8" gap between the box and firewall. So now I get to remove it and reinstall it myself. Oboy I am not pleased at all!!!

Been using Kevin for years maybe 15 now . There no better shop on the area. Kev is quick easy to deal with and honest as they come. I always pay cash to save some extra cash. Call Monday bring care in Tuesday morning and pick up that night for most things. He over the years has done an engine , rack and pinion , breaks rotors, even helped me with my locks and windows on my 84 Chevy rebuilt the inner door locks. I won’t go anywhere else def recommend Kevin if you’re looking for someone who gets the work done and is honest !

I brought in a car to see what I should fix first. He could have made a lot of money by suggesting repairs, but he was honest and told me not to invest any more money in this car.

Took my car in with a concern about a belt and I can be honest I’m a bit of an over anxious car owner. Kevin was able to get me in the following 2 days. They were timely, Dropped off in the morning and had a call by the early afternoon. And even though they didn’t see anything of concern, they made me feel heard, and even offered to keep it for another day to do some more inspections. When I picked up they charged me nothing since they couldn’t find an issue and offered to look at my car again if I had anymore concerns

We have been going to Kevin since he was near MLK in hilltop. Honest quotes. Fast service and haven’t had a problem with anything that needed work. We tell all our friends to check em out when they need a car mechanic.

Review for Kevin's Auto Repair I've been taking my cars to Kevin's Auto Repair for 15 years, and I couldn't be happier with the service. Kevin is always fair, even letting me know when repairs aren’t actually needed. His pricing is better than competitive, and he clearly communicates all costs and timelines for repairs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic!

My friend does business with Mr Kevin all the time and I see why, Mr Kevin is about making sure his customers are satisfied.He helped to make sure the car was towed to his business and he got the car fixed the same day. He is an exemplary person because he is extremely kind, patient and professional. I see why he has high reviews. I live in Georgia and I had to help my friend in dealing with Mr Kevin for personal reasons in order to get her car fixed. I wished Mr Kevin lived in Georgia so that he could get my business and referrals that I would send his way. Thanks Mr Kevin for all you do!

Avoid this auto repair shop at all costs! I brought my car in for a simple oil change - my car was running perfectly fine with no issues. After the oil change, I took it home and immediately noticed an oil leak. I brought it back to the shop, and they claimed it was a transmission fluid leak. But my car was clean and in perfect condition before oil change - how could it suddenly have a transmission fluid leak? They then told me it would cost between $2000 and $2500 to fix. This issue never existed until I brought my car in. Don't make the same mistake I did - stay far away from this place.

My Suburban was leaking a heavy amount of oil I took it to a shop to have it looked at , which took them 1 whole week just to mis diagnose it and told me it was valve covers leaking . after having said non needed repairs fixed it was still leaking oil . and was the rear main seal a biiiig job ... . I called many shops , but kevins auto was by far the best price hands down. They had me scheduled within a day and had my truck done within just 2 days !! Told me a price and that was the price . They were very strait forward ,got the job done and are definitely the car pros. I won't be taking my truck to anywhere else but here from here on out. Almost a whole month and not a single drop of oil leaking so happy . Thanks kevin 👌

So long story short I paid 2000 bucks for parts they said had to be fixed only to get my car back 3 wks later with more problems than it originally started out with. Then I took it back for another 2 wks just for them to tell me it was a problem they had told me they already fixed. Honestly I drove by during both times I took my car and for the majority of the time my car was outside the garage just sitting there while they were fixing other people's cars to get quick money. My personal opinion would be to find a better repair shop if it is going to need more than just a brake job for ur car!

I brought my vehicle in for brake repair. Afterwards, my ABS light was on, and it wasn’t before I took it in. I asked if it was okay and was told it should be fine but if I noticed any issues to bring it in for a follow up. The following week, my ABS failed in rush hour traffic and I ended up having a near-death experience. My child and a teenager were also affected. I brought my now totaled vehicle in to a chain store mechanic and they confirmed that my brakes had been done incorrectly. When I presented this report to Kevin and told him what happened, he shrugged it off and told me he wasn’t going to refund me or apologize for putting my child and I in danger. I was out of a vehicle for eight months after that. Never going here again.

I was given a recommendation from my neighbor who has gone to Kevin’s Auto Repair for over 20yrs my son has a 2017 Honda Accord two door. His lug nuts snapped off when he was changing his tires. My neighbor suggested I go to Kevin Auto Shop. It would be alot cheaper than going to the dealer. And he was right Honda wanted to charge my son 500 dollars for just labor a lone. Kevin’s Auto Shop only charged 220.20 with labor and he replaced all his lug nuts with no extra charge. I will be recommending his shop to all my friends and family. Very reasonable prices and fast. Guarantee all his work and repairs. Excellent customer service.
