Kens Automotive for oil change
Clear ✕All 82 Google reviews tagged “Oil change” · showing 40
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.
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Dropped the car off at 11am told us to come back around 1:30-2pm. Came back and they did not start it until we arrived. Got an oil change for $122 seems ridiculously high for not being competent enough to do it in a timely manner. Had to call an uber to get to work because…
I’ve been going here for over 10 years! Quick & friendly responses, very knowledgeable, and very fair prices.
New to Philly, had to pass safety check 2004 Toyota Prius for PA plates. Read the reviews and they did not lie! Ken’s team is one of a kind, well oiled machine. Hit the brakes on everyone else and hit the gas on Kens, you will be happy you did. After one year returned for safety check and emission test, vehicle…
They have recently updated their hours for booking (oil changes at least to my knowledge) to be between 9-11 am on weekdays. Severe reduction in options for making appointments as well as very inconvenient for anyone with a job with regular hours. I recently went in for an oil change, having to take a half-day off…
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…
I have been taking my car to Ken’s for almost 10 years and have never been disappointed with their work. Pricing has always seemed reasonable. They are very clear with the breakdown of pricing and work to be done on the invoice, which they always send over after diagnostic and before continuing work or ordering…
Ken’s Auto was great! I just registered my car from out of state so I took it in for an inspection and an oil change, and they had everything done before noon. Great communication and kind employees!
We've been here several times but I can't leave multiple reviews. Thankfully we have only needed maintenance and inspections and they are great for all of it. Scheduling, drop off and pick up are seamless, everyone there is professional and friendly, and they do great work. Thank you!
Very friendly and competent team. Reasonable prices and quick turnaround.
The mechanics are very good; these guys really know what they're doing. I've used them on a number of occasions and Ken even set up my dash cam, something I wasn't able to do.
This place is great! Efficient, communicative, trustworthy, and they won’t try to upsell or swindle you on things the car doesn’t need!
These guys are great! Super communicative and reasonable pricing.
This place was great! Transparent about the service and timing, also nice and friendly/welcoming. Being a solo female, showing up to a shop can be super intimidating but these guys were nothing but professional and friendly, very much appreciated and will be my new go to spot!
Courteous and , professional Great, prompt service!
Professional, courteous, and prompt service.
Great service. Usually can get an oil change the next day or same day if you call when they open.
Easy scheduling, good work and fair prices.
I’m a loyal customer of Ken’s auto for years only place I trust to work on my car more then some dealerships
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…
Excellent service as usual
After coming here for 4 years for their overpriced and deceptive services, I'm taking my business elsewhere from now on. Granted that I don't know much about cars, I initially trusted the highly rated google reviews on this place since they seem to be run by honest people who are trustworthy. I really should've…
Always great work and reliability. Easy to work with, love these guys!
Yesterday my second time coming here, the first time was great! That mechanic was amazing and helpful. This second time around the staff at the front desk were rude / dismissive. I called ahead in the morning for an oil change & they said they had time to take me. They proceeded to take 5 hours to complete it. A…
Timely, honest, and gets the job done efficiently.
The guys at Ken's ROCK! First, it's fun to walk into the place. The guys at the front desk and friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. You'll get an appointment quickly and their excellent work is done on time, at a reasonable cost. No job too small, no problem too big. It's a no-brainer: go now!
I’ve been going to Ken’s for the past few years now and don’t have anything negative to say. These guys are awesome, always easy to communicate with and they’re great at taking care of my car needs.
They've always been honest, straightforward, and on time... year after year. Great job!
Highly recommended. Never had anything but good luck here. Great shop to work with and the staff is friendly and communicative. They don't push unnecessary work and are reasonably priced for their services, I've found. It's a little bit of a drive to Chinatown from West Philly, but it's worth it for the reliable…
Ive been taken my car to this guys since before the pandemic. They are nice, professional, always on time… they dont overcharge! I will continue working with them and highly recommend them.
I took my car to Ken's for an oil change. I dropped it off at 9am, and it was done by 12:30. The staff was welcoming and professional, and the price was as promised verbally by phone the week before. Happy with my experience, and I recommend Ken's if you need service or inspection.
Thanks for being flexible with drop off time. My vehicle was serviced same day, and a technician diagnosed another issue upon drop off.
I called Ken’s Automotive first thing in the morning to check on availability for an oil change. They told me to drop it off as soon as possible, gave me an estimated time it would be ready, and even told me the exact amount I’d pay out the door ...no surprises, no nonsense. I showed up about 20 minutes before the…
Great auto shop! Always helpful and informative with their work and and any questions I've had.
I’ve always had a great experience here and use them regularly. Def recommend!
Quick service, fair pricing, and cool, friendly staff
Once again…Great service & friendly people. Happy to have found Ken’s. Highly recommend for people in the city.
Had oil change and a point check on my vehicle everything was fine prompt service and reasonable. Highly recommend Ken auto service.
I came here for an inspection and an oil change. Dropped my car off in the morning and it was done by 11am! None of the employees were condescending or rude and I wasn't pushed into getting anything done that wasn't necessary. The pricing was fair. I will definitely be back for my inspection next year.
These guys are great! It's easy to make appointments, the service is quick, efficient, and reasonably priced, and they're a very personal bunch. I trust them completely with my car.
