Extremely helpful and professional. Also extremely reasonably priced in comparison to dealership or other shops around town. Will definitely be back for other maintenance/repairs down the road!

KC Brake is my go-to shop. Kevin and Cody are great guys, as are the rest of the team members. The entire shop is very professional, friendly, and have always given a detailed and fair quote for services. I had one very minor issue with a repair one time that was common due to the part and it was corrected immediately. Kevin explained why it happened thoroughly and professionally while getting it resolved. I have some mechanic experience under my belt and they don’t beat around the bush.All in all, Kevin and his team go above and beyond to provide excellent service that is personable, clear, and exceptional.

I have been using Kevins KC Brake for over 15 years now and have NEVER been disappointed. Fair prices and ALWAYS back up their work. If they cant fix it they will tell you up front and not waste your time and money. I own a Mercedes, Hummer and Chevy Malibu and they have worked on all of then for me. Great honest work force. Kevin is a great example of a caring owner that takes care of his customers and employees. I own a Car wash and Detail shop in the Crown Center Complex and referrer all my customers to KC Brake without hesitation.Mike MadrigalOwnerMadrigals Elite Detailing at Crown Center LLC

Great Experience Again Today! I moved out of the city 3+ years ago and have missed the great service I always got with Kevin + Team! He took care the car’s needs and didn’t try to up sell me! Thank you again for being honest mechanics! :-). My family is never going anywhere else! :-)

I highly recommend this shop for brake service! I thought my front brakes were ready to be replaced. So, Kevin checked both the front and rear brakes. He determined that a small amount of rust on a front brake rotor may have caused the noise I heard. He promptly called me with the news that my brakes were in excellent shape and did not need to be replaced. Also, he didnt charge for his time!! This type of honesty and generosity is refreshing and speaks to the integrity of this gentleman and his staff. I will definitely be returning regularly for my auto needs.

I’ve been going to KC Brake for many years because they always do great work at a great price. And most important to me is that I trust them.

Great service. Dropped my vehicle off overnight and called when they opened to tell them what I needed. They called back a few hours later with a total cost and a game plan before starting on repairs. Vehicle was done the following day and they were all very friendly. Will definitely use in the future.

I found Kevin’s awhile back by simply searching for shops and his came up. Since then we have been back a handful of times. They are extremely friendly, efficient and have the most fair prices I’ve seen anywhere. I like the drop off method and understand why they do it. They are small but quality is beyond exceptional. I will not take my car anywhere else as long as I live here. We will be back for more repairs when we can. Thank you all and hopefully after a few more brakes you can get Kevin to get some AC in there😊😂. Thanks again guys🤙

This was my first time here and I will definitely be giving this place all of my business in the future. Very efficient, affordable and professional. I have a hard time trusting most car repair shops but never questioned the integrity here. Thank you Kevin!

I brought my car to Kevin’s after getting a quote for more complex and more expensive services at a corporate mechanic and I’m so glad I did. Kevin and his crew hooked me up with great repairs at a fraction of the cost I was expecting. This should be your mechanic shop! It was fast, honest, friendly and affordable.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and fairly priced. Took time to explain thought process behind suggested repairs, and fixed my car in a timely manner before a big trip. James and Kevin were both great. Will return for future repairs.

My older car had the check engine light go off a few days ago. I recently moved downtown and thought I would try out a new auto repair place, and since KC Brake and Auto Service was so highly rated, decided to give them a try. I was so pleased! They got my car in right away and since it was a simple fix, I got it back in just a few hours for a very reasonable cost! Everyone was very kind and helpful, and I really appreciate that I was treated like an intelligent human who might know a few things about cars, even though I am a woman (which sadly is rare at auto repair businesses.) I will definitely be bringing them my business in the future!! Highly recommended!

I called early on a Tuesday where the shop was transparent to get my car in early for an oil change. I let them know I needed to get my car back within a timeframe to make my drive back to Chicago, they told me that they understood the priority and would fit me in. When I arrived, I was greeted by Kevin, who initially didn’t see me, because he was vibing out and working hard to hard rock or heavy metal song, which I very much appreciated and respected. He again reiterated that he could meet my needed timing and would give me a call when it was ready. Shortly, I received a call an hour early that the car was ready. I came within 10 minutes to pick up my car and was approached by genuine smiles by Kevin and his staff to see how they could help me. I was able to quickly pay and get to my car. I loved the excellent customer service and would recommend this business to anyone in KC.

I am so happy I found Kevin’s KC Brake & Auto Repair. It was time for annual service & front brakes on my 2017 MB C300. No longer in warranty I decided to shop around. After reading reviews & comparing prices, I called Kevin’s. My questions & concerns were addressed in a professional & respectful manner.Their service & prices are amazing. Along with the fact that not every Auto Service shop works on European vehicles. This is now my go-to place for auto service!Thank you Kevin’s KC Brake & Auto Service!

Review №19

I dont see how this place has such good ratings. I dropped off my car at 7:30 this morning for an oil change. The guy told me hed have it done by lunch. 3pm I hadnt heard from them so I called and was told it would be 4:30 or 5. For $75.60 I could get a better, cheaper, faster oil change from the dealership.

Review №20

Kevin and his team are awesome. The high ratings on Google and Yelp are well-deserved. Great communication about the issues and cost, easy check-in of the vehicle, quick turnaround on repairs, and as opposed to other shops, I was actually shocked at how LOW the total invoice was based on all the work performed and parts purchased. Bottom line is these guys are honest, dependable, communicative, and excellent mechanics. Some may avoid because they only take walk-ins (as opposed to setting an appt), but trust me, its worth it to get over there early when they open to get your vehicle checked in. Will definitely be returning for any future maintenance/work needed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Review №26

I cant say enough great things about KC Brake and Auto! After the scary realization that both my check engine light and my check power steering light were on, a friend recommended I go to KC Brake and Auto to get checked out. They quickly got me in (same day), and gave me an answer on what was causing the issue by the end of the day. They were clear in their explanation of the issue, outlined their proposed fix and quickly had it finished within one day. The price was extremely affordable and all the guys were so helpful in answering my questions. This is the only garage Ill be going to in KC!

Called 12 places in Kansas City. Earliest apt I could get was in 1.5 months. Called KC Brakes and they got me in the next day. Fixed my car issue in 2 days (which I initially thought would take much longer). Could not be happier. Will only use their service from here on out.

This is a first class operation. The owner works there full time. He is trustworthy, honest and balances cost versus value for the customer. I’ve been using Kevin’s for several years now and will go no where else.Support local small businesses when they deserve it. This is one place that earned my business.

Review №32

They dont make shops like this anymore. This place is a true KC gem.Kevin and his team are hands down some of the most professional and trustworthy mechanics Ive ever met. I called them up on a Monday morning concerned about a vibration I was feeling in my car when driving at highway speeds (55+). I had already taken my car to another mechanic who couldnt tell me what was going on with it and that theyd just have to start replacing things until they figured it out.KC Brake got my car in the same day to take a look at it. When they couldnt recreate what I was feeling they kept it another day just to be sure and check it out again. On the second day they noticed the small vibration as well. They went through checking the entire front end; suspension, brakes, tires, all of it and determined there were no major components to be replaced. Upon some further investigation they realized my tired had some variance to them and thats what I was feeling. Kevin and his team could have told me this or that needed to be replaced and I probably would have taken them at their word, but they didnt. They were honest about nothing being wrong and just told me to bring it back when I did have something.I cant recommend them more highly, and I will definitely be taking all of my future work here.

Review №35

KC Brake was recommended to me by friends who take care of their cars far better than I do. Its pretty straightforward. Show up early, let them know what you want done, they dont try to upsale you, you get exactly what you want at a good coat and you feel confident that it was done by people who know cars. Ill be back in a few thousand miles. Thanks!

Review №36

Ive gone here several times. The first thing I noticed before getting my first service was how nice the entire staff was. I havent run across anyone unfriendly here. They treat you so well. The second thing to point out is how fair they are. Im a female without much knowledge of cars and Ive never once felt taken advantage of. Ive even had them tell me I dont need new brakes just yet when the Mazda dealership told me I did. They are speedy, friendly, and very fair. I would recommend x100!

I have been using Kevin’s KC Brake and Auto since before it was Kevin’s, at least 5 years now. They keep getting busier and busier but always have great turn around, great customer service, and great service/prices. I move further away from them and pass at least 3 other repair shops on my way to Kevin’s but I’ll keep coming back!

Kevin has excellent customer service and the guys did a great job getting me back on the road.

Review №41

Great honest work. Dropped my car off in the morning because I was experiencing heavy front end shake when braking off the highway. Fully expected to pay for new brakes on both axles but Kevin assured me the front brakes I had just replaced we’re fine and that resurfacing the front rotors and only replacing the rear would be enough to aid the issue. I’ve had regular maintenance done at other shops (shops that had no problem overcharging me for repairs I didn’t need) but my car hasn’t driven this smoothly since I bought it. They had the work done within a day, fixed a few extra issues at no cost and even answered some questions I had about buying a used car. So happy to have found a mechanic I can trust close to my new office. Will definitely be back if I have any other vehicle-related concerns.

Review №45

I took my car in for a routine oil change. Shortly before I picked it up, they told me something in the car was leaking and theyd need to take a closer look. I told them I will take a closer look myself. When I did, I instantly opened up the front hood to my car to find that they had never screwed my oil cap back in, causing some oil to shoot out of the pipe that oil is put in. While I caught it early, this simple mistake could have easily ruined my entire engine. Needless to say, I am not coming back here ever again and I advise others to do the same.

Review №48

As always Kevin and his crew performed spectacularly. I went in expecting to pay about $1500 for a new heater core and thermostat in my wrangler. A recommended flush, new water pump and a couple of hours later and the problem was solved for pennies on the dollar. They are the most honest shop I have ever used. Been going there for over 10 years for anything from an oil change to suspension and engine issues. I highly recommend them!

I work around the corner from Kevin’s and not only is it convenient for me to drop my car off when necessary for normal maintenance or unexpected repairs, but the quality of service is always great with reasonable pricing.

Review №60

I brought my Chrysler in for brake service, explained the issues I experienced and my last known repair dates (from a few years back). Kevin and his crew assessed my issue, promptly identified a solution, called me to verify and approve the work before it was done, and did it all with professionalism, courtesy, and care. Not only was the service timely, but an added bonus was that the price for service is more than fair. Additionally, upon pickup, a crew member (I’ll call him ‘J’) promptly offered me cold bottled water while the invoice was being prepared, noting that it was hot outside. These gentlemen are outstanding, and their commitment to customer service is unmatched, as is their eye for detail. KC Brake and Auto Service has earned my business for all local auto needs. I highly recommend this shop, and would happily rate it higher than five stars, if possible. Thanks for the service, gents.

This place is great! I’ve been coming here for years. Recently, when I stopped working downtown, I tried to find another reliable place closer to my home in Overland Park. BIG MISTAKE! After a pretty bad experience (that I never would have had at Kevin’s), I will now simply make the drive for service that I can rely on and trust. They fix the problem, and nothing more, at fair, reasonable rates.

What can I say, these guys are pros. Best value brake job Ive ever seen. I did my rear brakes but then didnt have time to do the front so I brought it in. Had I known the value of this place, I wouldnt have even bothered saving money by doing the back. Reasonable labor cost as well as minimal mark up on parts. And super reasonable for a fully synthetic oil change. The guys I dealt with were very friendly and professional. Im happy to say Ive found a garage in KC that I trust. I will return when needed.

My work uses KC Brake and Auto Service and I’ve always been impressed. So when I ran over a piece of scrap metal on the road shortly after buying my car, I had my car towed there.

They have solid communication as well. Highly recommend them!

They called me at 3pm to let me know the truck was finished.Great service, excellent communication and overall great experience. I would highly recommend.

Review №82

I’ve never taken time to review a business online, but these guys deserve it. I had grinding noises coming from my rear brakes and rotors, so I came by around 7:30 am to drop my car off. Kevin (I believe) called two hours later and confirmed they’d need to be replaced. He said it would be $304 in a somewhat somber tone, and I have no idea why because I’ve paid $600+ for the same job elsewhere before — $300 is a steal. There was nothing somber about that news at all. My car was done by noon, no problems. These guys are legit. If you live downtown, this needs to be where you take your car. Plus, they’re two blocks over from the streetcar so that makes it easier since you don’t need to get an Uber or have a buddy drive you. I’ve already forgotten the other shop I‘ve been going to, this is my new spot!

Review №89

The reviews on Google do not lie... Kevin runs a great shop. He performed services to my wifes vehicle for nearly half the dealership price. It is extremely difficult to find a car mechanic that you can trust to not take advantage of you. The only negative is that Kevins shop does not take appointments and you have to just drop your car off early in the morning. Thats a small inconvenience if you work a 8-5 but the fast turn around time, fair prices, and no BS/upsales easily make this the best shop I have been to.

This is my go-to auto shop. Always honest and straightforward. Im usually DIY with my auto repair, but I cant always diagnose everything. My check engine light was showing an O2 sensor, and I had low engine power. Spent $200 trying to fix it myself before I took it in. KC Brake correctly diagnosed that the throttle body needed cleaning, and got me in and out for only $200. Cant beat that! Wish I had just taken it straight to Kevin in the first place.

One of the best auto repair experiences I’ve ever had. After I gave up on replacing a driveshaft myself, Kevin and his team finished my car in one day (along with TONS of other customers). I had concerns about a ball joint as well and they did not try to sell me on work I didn’t need. Super professional and friendly! Best of all, they charged $150 less than the next cheapest estimate! I will be back!
