We're glad you had a smooth ride with us and that our prices didn't drive you up the wall! We look forward to keeping your car in tip-top shape.
We were driving from Idaho to Ohio, and wanted someone to check on a suspension weld about halfway home. We selected Kim's after reading their reviews, and after calling ahead, they were able to get us right in as soon as we got there. They checked everything out, and advised us everything looked good. We appreciate them fitting us into their busy schedule, and helping us to get home!

We're always ready to give a lift to travelers! Glad we could help keep your journey smooth and worry-free.
I had a fantastic experience at Kim's Service. I came in to get a tire rebalancing done, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish.
A huge thank you to Preston and Kim, they were both extremely nice, professional, and welcoming the moment I walked in. They handled everything efficiently, got me back on the road in no time, and offered a very affordable price for top-notch work.
If you're looking for an honest, efficient, and friendly auto shop, I highly recommend Kim's Auto Service Center. I’ll definitely be coming back for any future needs!
