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…

We broke down in our little red Jeep on the way into Philly. Si was able to squeeze us in to an already busy schedule at 10 AM. They diagnose the issue, and replaced the catalytic converter out by 4:30. Great service and kind people. You want to be patient while you’re on hold as they are busy. But worth the wait.

Ken’s Auto is quite literally the best mechanic I’ve ever used. They’re knowledgeable and competent and will go above and beyond for you. I’m someone who knows nothing about cars but I never have to worry that they’re trying to pull one over on me (like the countless dealerships or retail auto shops I used to…

Have gone to these guys a few times and am never disappointed. Are my GoTos for most things. Recently replaced by catalytic converter after it had been stolen.

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…
