As long as I’m in Philly I’m go to Ken’s for auto services. I always trust their word and work for my car. Inspection, repairs, oil changes, they get it done and do it well. The koi fish make for a nice surprise.

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.

Ken’s Auto really did their thing. Straight up Scotty and Psy are top-tier service writers.

He recommended I seek reimbursement from Hyundai because the car was still under warranty--that's a step I wouldn't have thought of doing! A great garage, if you're in Philly!

Ken is great. They serviced my SUV which had a hole in the gas tank. It only took them 1 day to find and fix the issue and Ken was completely transparent about the costs and service up front. I would 100% recommend and come back to Ken's shop.
