My Audi TT needed a 4 wheel alignment. I was told that they do a great job. I set my appointment and arrived on time. They got my car in and went to work. I was impressed they adjusted the toe in on the rear along with all the other important settings. Very good experience.

I was absolutely pleased with my whole overall experience. We have used their service in the past and were very pleased. Recently I took a different vehicle in for an estimate on the exhaust system. They were very through and took the time to explain to me what needed done and also made alternative suggestions. Plus they presented me with a very easy to understand and clear estimate. I would highly recommend this business to my friends. Very courteous, efficient and I feel very honest and forthright. Will use them for all my future auto service needs.

Had the air conditioning repaired. However they also did a complete check on the car...brakes, tires etc.They also gave me a ride home when I dropped off the car. They had the car for 2 days but kept me informed along the way. Ill probably be using this garage for all my auto needs.

I really appreciated the inspection provided, an all over health check of my car. It provides information on what points pass, are non-urgent, or are urgent and need immediate attention. I was able to have the urgent issues taken care of, and plan ahead to have the non-urgent issues fixed over time. That alone was of great worth to me. I felt that the work I had done was fairly priced, and was amazed at how quickly the work was completed. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and very down to earth.

I just moved to the area and was looking for a mechanic. Based on all the good reviews, I decided to bring my car here for an alignment. Along with my alignment, they did a thorough inspection with photos and recommendations for anything that should be replaced soon. Pricing was fair as well. Now I see why the reviews are good. Glad to have found a new and trustworthy mechanic. Thanks for quality service on my car!

About a year ago I googled this place. It had awesome reviews. I ended up getting a new car and decided I would like to give them a try. I have a 2008 Buick lacrosse that I recently purchased. I needed a headlight and an alignment done as far as I knew. That work got done on it and went well. But the thing that really made me feel comfortable with these guys was the fact that they looked over my entire car. Let me know of all things good and bad. Details and pictures for major problems. So I definitely am happy on the purchase I made on my car because every thing that does need worked on is wear n tear type of things. No engine or electric problems. Very detailed. I appreciate it. I trust these guys with my car.

Absolutely wonderful staff and service. Cody got my car done, Georgia made me feel like I mattered, and Dipesh provided wonderful conversation. They even put a rush job on things due to my concerns about not being able to leave my car overnight, which made my husband and I feel wonderful, like we really matter. Bonus is that I saved somewhere around $300 versus another local place, and it took less time to get in! Thanks so much to all of you, we will be returning when the situation calls for it!

Always a good experience here. Although last time I asked for a tire rotation but it wasn’t done. Wasn’t charged so it must have been an oversight. No problems. The service, reasonable prices and respect are very rare qualities to find in a business these days.

Very happy with Kinderman’s Auto Repair. Dipesh Modi got us in quickly and at reasonable cost for 4 new tires, oil change and new windshield wipers. My boyfriend Dan did car maintenance for years and was highly pleased with the work done on his Chevy Cruze. I would highly recommend Kinderman’s to anyone needing work done on their vehicles❤️

I appreciate the full refund that I received. I was charged for a gas cap that was not discuss, my oil change sticker was not replaced and when I left my engine light was on. You did inform me my vehicle did not pass inspection due to tire rods however I was able the next day get my car inspected; fully pass without issue or replacement of tire rods. The mechanic did however inform me that the incorrect coolant was used in my vehicle which would have only come from your garage. I place reviews to help other customers not to hurt the business all I do is express my experience, this was my experience! Ive only taking my car to you one time and it will only be 1 time!!

I took my Mother’s low mileage 1996 Buick Century in to Kinderman’s Auto Service with the hope that they would be able to repair it and keep it on the road. After a very thorough explanation of everything that needed to be fixed, I was provided with an estimate. I agreed to have the work done, which was extensive. When I was contacted that the work was completed, it was explained to me exactly what had been done in detail. When I picked it up, the car ran so smoothly that I took a long joy ride on the way home! Kinderman’s Auto Repair is the absolute BEST. I will never again take my vehicles to any other garage!

Review №34

Top notch and dedicated mechanic Cody was amazing. He fought thru some heavy rust/seizing on older car (2003 audi a4) to get me squared away on rear alignment. His perseverance to get my issue resolved saved me a lot of money, because otherwise I would have had to have some more in-depth repair work done. Was recommended to them by a separate repair shop that didnt have gear/tools to do my alignment. In my short experience I found theyve very customer oriented here- glad I found them!

Just had Kindermans mount and balance four new whitewall tires for my custom car. They took extra super good care to not get the whitewalls all smudged up and they got it done in a hurry, with the new tires still looking brand new. Very friendly and accommodating. Ill be coming here for all my service now.

Review №38

Took my Audi Q7 in for a routine wheel alignment and like any other wheel alignment Ive had done, expected to be in and out. Two and a half hours later the job was done. Why two and a half hours you ask? That is because when the mechanic came out to tell he was done, he was also able to tell me that I had brand new break/rotors, tires and lower springs which I had done a few weeks prior. That told me that he had taken the time to do a thorough check of my cars suspension and other components. Furthermore, the right front wheel was way out of line and he took the time to not just get the alignment close to specs, but did the alignment twice to ensure that all four wheels were aligned to spec. Best two and a half hours Ive ever spent at a garage.If youre looking to have your car serviced by honest, credible, and personable mechanics, this is the place for you. And the prices are really reasonable. I can honestly say that I will be giving them my business from here on out.Oh, and one last thing, where else can you go and the person at the front desk actually has a conversation with you. Karen is one of the nicest people Ive met and made the time spent waiting for my car fly by.

Ive been a customer of Kindermans for a little over a decade now and Ive have never been disappointed by the work that has done on my vehicles.

As always the guys at Kindermans were helpful, polite and just pleasant to deal with. They quoted me a good price to get my Endeavor inspected/fixed and had it done in no time and way under what they originally quoted me. Ive been to Kindermans before and have always had a great experience. You guys have a customer for life. Id never use a chain garage again. Thank you Kindermans!! SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES!!

I was heading home to Washington DC from points north, when my serpentine belt failed due to a damaged belt tensioner. The battery died and I was stranded.I called Kinderman’s. They ordered the tow truck, evaluated the problem, performed over-all diagnostics, and told me what was required as well as what was recommended. They ordered the parts and did the repairs the next day.Now, I’m back in DC. Thanks Georgia & Dipesh.

Review №51

Wonderful company! You can tell this auto repair company is honest and hardworking! I called in to make an appointment about two weeks in advance. I brought my Chrysler Sebring 2007 in on a Friday 7/17/2020 for an inspection and the same day they finished the inspection and notified me that my oil change was due and that my air conditioner needed to be fixed. The air conditioner didn’t work at all or bring out any cold air and it was on my mind to fix but I completely forgot to ask for a quote and honestly I just forgot about the oil change. The relief I felt for the company noticing those kind of things were overwhelming, thank you! The inspection was completed on Monday 7/20/2020. That was a very quick inspection and I would have had the car completed the same day if I didn’t ask for them to continue to fix the air conditioner and oil change. Dipesh Modi the owner called me to ensure proper car of the car and see how everything was running. I’ve been to a lot of different auto companies in Harrisburg and they never take as much care into their customers! The amount I paid was more than reasonable for everything that was completed on the car because the car is older has about 113,000mi on it and typically that requires more fixes and more money invested into the car. I’m thankful to have found a company that cares about its customers, please tell your friends and family about this wonderful company! 😊👍

After having gone several places over a few months trying to solve a problem, someone referred me to Kindermans. I was very impressed with their service. Dipesh took time to explain a very complicated issue to me so I understood. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. When finished they even left a thank you and an auto air freshener on my steering wheel. Start to finish it was a great experience and I will definitely come back.

Review №62

I had been a Customer of Kinderman’s for over 20 years. I always felt they were fair and trustworthy until now. Something has changed and it’s truly a shame. My last experience there involved them giving me a quote of nearly $400 plus they wanted to change my oil again which I had just had done. This seemed a bit high and I wanted to get a second opinion. They then charged me over $100 for their outrageous estimate which I paid. I just had the exact same repairs done for just over $200 at a large dealer. All those years of bringing my cars to them as well as recommending them to many friends and family and now I find out they were way overpriced and not trustworthy. I will never recommend them again and hope others will be wary of their business practices. Sad to see a business destroyed by greed or other internal problems. STAY AWAY

Kindermans saves the day again! Twice a big name auto repair shop gave us an outrageous estimate for work that needed done to our vehicles. Its a shame those places can take advantage of people. Quoted $2500 for exhaust work, but the awesome mechanics at Kindermans got us up and running for less than $300. Cody was great, and took care of my inspection and gave me an estimate on future work that will be needed. Staff is very friendly and accommodating, they care about customers and making sure prices are fair and the job is done right. I really appreciate their kindness and honesty. Highly recommend!!!!! Will going to them from now on!

Kindermans is honest about their services. I asked them to check my brakes because I was told they might need to be replaced soon. Instead of taking advantage of me, Kindermans said the brakes could wait longer to be replaced. I appreciate their honesty and will continue to use their services. I will also recommend them to anyone asking for an honest, good mechanic.

Kindermans is a great place to take your car. They are very skilled and knowledgeable. They take time to let you know what is wrong with your car or what service you may need. They know their customers on a first name basis. They give you a report on a card about tires, brakes and stuff and you get a free air freshener. I dont let anyone else touch my car.

I was very pleased with the service I received at Kindermans. They went above and beyond. I was very upset when I stopped in to talk to Dipesh about an issue that I was still having after I had just given another local well known garage $1800 to repair my car. Dipesh listened to my concerns and got my car in to be repaired. I will continue to give them my business and will send them many new customers.
