What customers said about air conditioning
Kens AutomotiveGood expertise across many of the areas of the car needing inspection or service. Cost was higher than expected, but this is in the center of town so there are not a lot of alternatives.
Monte & Sons Auto Repair, Inc.Pete , Rick , Rudy and crew are the best around! They have been caring for us and our cars for over 20 years.
Salhani Auto Service & Sales Emis…Ac compressor Amazing customer service. Fast and efficient. Was in and out no longer than an hour. AC system feels cold again. Highly satisfied and would definitely recommend for any type of service work.
Meineke Car Care CenterI’ve been going to this business for 3+ years and don’t plan on going anywhere else. They’re the best!
Kens AutomotiveI 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…
Kens AutomotiveTimely completed inspection. Identified wrongly installed left rear wheel tie by previous vendor. The previous vendor admitted mistake and corrected the problem without charge.
