This is by far one of the best auto repair places I have been to. They went above and beyond to help me. There were honest and thorough. My motor died on my only vehicle, they did an excellent job on it. He even checked my car over to be sure it was worth saving. I can't say enough. Thank you!!!!

Superb service from mechanic and front desk! Great job of keeping my 2012 mazda alive and well. Don't waste your time and money on car dealership mechanics. Support a family run, local business with more than fair prices. Been going to Kenney's since I moved back to Franklin county and feel fortunate to have found this place.
