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.

The service at Ken's Auto is great. They're organized, reliable, friendly, competent -- and not out to fleece you. I recently asked for an oil change because that's what I do every six months. But they said I wasn't due for one because I hadn't driven the standard 3,000 miles between oil changes. I highly recommend these guys.

Brought in my 1 year-old leased vehicle for a PA state inspection/emission sticker. The drop off was easy. I didn’t even have to explain that the car is new and that the BMW dealership in NJ did a full checkup required by the lease agreement. They just knew and took great care of it. Communication was great. They…

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.

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!

Went in for a Tesla state inspection. I was able to schedule an appt online. Their system gives you automated reminder messages both before and after which were helpful. I dropped my car off at around 9 and was able to pick up later in the afternoon. Good customer service and price. Would recommend. Will go back to them in the future.
