Good expertise across many of the areas of the car needing inspection or service. Cost was higher than expected, but this is in the center of town so there are not a lot of alternatives.

I started using Kens Automotive in 2022. I found them via my neighborhood Facebook page. I noticed that every time someone posted about needing an automotive shop: Kens was always mentioned. The words/reviews that folks stated were always great! I have an automobile from the late 90’s. I actually had to get a jump…

Ken’s Auto really did their thing. Straight up Scotty and Psy are top-tier service writers. They kept it real with me, broke everything down so I understood what was going on with my vehicle, and didn’t give me the runaround. Communication was on point, timing was solid, and the whole process was smooth. You can…

I’ve been taking my 2007 Toyota Prius to Ken and his amazing team for the many, many, many years I have owned this car. When I first purchased it, I was a newly single mom who just moved to Center City and did not have very many people that I could trust, let alone someone in a field notorious for dishonesty. In…
