Kens Automotive for vehicle inspection

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 recently brought my car to Kens Automotive for a vehicle inspection, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The service was prompt and professional, and the staff made sure I understood every step of the process. The price was reasonable for the work done, and I appreciated the transparency in the pricing.…
I’ve been going here for over 10 years! Quick & friendly responses, very knowledgeable, and very fair prices.
Absolute pleasure to work with. Everything is handled quickly and at an incredibly fair price. Highly recommend.
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.
Excellent service, as always!
Easy appointment scheduling and same-day turnaround on my inspection with no drama. Perfect!
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. 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…
Excellent shop! Had PA inspection done after moving from MD. Would definitely recommend.
Easy to make an appointment and my service was done same-day, no surprises. Will definitely be back.
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.
My car needed a tune-up and inspection. The customer service at the front desk is excellent and my car is running very smoothly now. Ken's makes sure that you're satisfied with their work. Recommend
I have used Ken's for a few years now after being recommended to them by a friend. It's been a great experience. They're super nice, with straightforward, clear estimates before doing the work. I have a very old car, but it's reliable and runs well. My previous mechanic kept urging me to get rid of it. These guys at…
Quick service, honest people. This place is great!
Very friendly and competent team. Reasonable prices and quick turnaround.
Great service! Convenient and good price. I'll definitely go back for my other car needs in the future.
My go-to place for all my car needs. Everyone here is so kind and communicative (and funny). I have a quick and smooth service every time I come.
Fast Fair Honest. Just good people.
Courteous and , professional Great, prompt service!
I’ve been a customer for several years and have recommended them to everyone who asks. They are polite, professional, and know their stuff. Just went for my annual inspection. Good price, good info. I always wait while they work on my car. Space is tight and basic and that’s fine with me. Highly recommend them!
Ken’s is a great place to get your car inspected! Very responsive and professional! Great communication and follow up too!
Easy scheduling, good work and fair prices.
Ken’s is the best! So nice, efficient, and professional. I refuse to take my car anywhere else!
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…
Always great work and reliability. Easy to work with, love these guys!
Had my car’s annual inspection at Ken’s. As always, they were efficient and friendly. Thanks!
Always as promised and reasonable price. Friendly too. Timely and convenient for Center City.
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!
Dropped off for annual vehicle inspection after making an online appointment. Entire process including working with the staff, communication about vehicle pick up, and inspection was smooth.
We love Ken’s Automotive!! They were recommended by a close family member. I recently took my Lexus to Ken’s for annual inspection and a maintenance check. They were able to schedule me right away and I had new inspection stickers within a matter of a few days. The staff there are great and the experience is a…
Great service and work-they fit me in at the last minute to help me. Really nice guys and worked quickly to get my tags
I was in the market for a new state inspection shop after being ripped off and treated rudely the past two years at a shop closer to home. I was recommended by a friend and was so pleased with my visit. I accidentally made my appointment for the following Monday, and they squeezed me in without issue. They finished…
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.
Friendly, courteous and reliable. Price for inspection was startling because I moved from a state with $8 inspections but I would go back for repairs.
Great auto shop! Always helpful and informative with their work and and any questions I've had.
Easy to schedule. Accommodating. Friendly.
Quick service, fair pricing, and cool, friendly staff
