Assessment Summary

Doug, an ASE Master Technician, purchased Kenny's Automotive in 1987 after working there for 9 years. The shop focuses on Domestic and Asian vehicles and has the diagnostic equipment and years of experience necessary to quickly and accurately determine the cause of any concerns. In addition, they are a certified Smog Test and Repair Station. Perhaps Doug says it best, "We take great pride in our work and it shows in the results."

    After moving, we needed to find a new mechanic we could trust, and I'm confident we've found one in Kenny's. I felt very comfortable dealing with them in person and over the phone. Doug, the owner, was clear on what needed to be fixed and what could wait, and had no surprise costs for me. I had a laundry list of repairs and the car feels great now. I can't speak too confidently on pricing, but for the mass of repairs they did, I personally felt the price was very appropriate and under what I'd pay for the same service elsewhere. I would easily recommend Kenny's to a friend.

    Doug (I think that's his name) is very affable and very friendly. He seems interested to help and does not waste time. Just a very nice person and businesslike.

    I find that Doug, the owner, is very honest, helpful, and his advice is good. We have had an excellent relationship. We're happy to have someone like him. We've been to dealerships, but we thought we were being ripped off. We are very satisfied with him. We were referred to him by AAA - he's one of the AAA approved. I have no hesitation in recommending him,

    I think nobody should take their car to him.

    He picks me up and brings me home when the car's got to stay there for awhile. Everything is fine - I'm quite happy. It's near to home for me, besides. It's very convenient.
