This is the only place I will ever take my vehicles. They are honest, trustworthy, and the quality-to-cost ratio is superb! I have used Kenmore Automotive for years for everything from oil changes to major repair services. Every time, they are professional, reliable, and fix it right. It is so nice to have a mechanic that I can absolutely trust to keep my vehicles running smoothly at a fair price. Best in class, right here.
Really great shop. Honest and hard working. Not going to pull one over on you. Reasonable pricing for the work they perform. I’ll always come back to them.
Echoing all the attributes others have noted (quality, professionalism and integrity). I leave nearby and theres nobody else I will go to.
Fast & efficient service! No B/S! Straight up Fair & Equitable in the cost, quality of service was stellar! Spencer the owner was on top of the work making sure all issues were addressed. MECHANICS were friendly & explained procedures. Set up the appointment from out of town, was sent updates up until day of scheduled appt. THX Spencer for the quality work & enlightening conversations! Will definitely pass your business cards around b/c you really respect your customers & your business relationships! You saved me from breaking down in the future!? PS which chip (Range Technology) should I get for my RAM, I looked on Amazon but they didnt designate specific Ram part, only showed Ford & GM chips..... skew #??
The whole company is friendly, efficient on time and reasonably priced. I couldnt have a better connection.
Great shop doing great work. I love my 2007 Honda CRV. Its got a lot of miles on it, and its good to know it has a great mechanic to help us get a little further down the road!
Have used Kenmore Automotive for many years and am very satisfied with the service I have received. I highly recommend this business.
I have used Kenmore Automotive for many years. I recommend them highly as they are topnotch in service. They are 100% honest, go out of their way to get your vehicle in and out as soon as possible. They are very friendly and easy to work with. I wouldnt go anywhere else!
Great work, Im a big fan. Best auto garage Ive found.
Quality repair every time. I break it, they can fix it!!Great team 2 know : )
This place is awesome for all kinds of cars (except exotics)!Great work, fair pricing and flexible to do the work you want and not adding a bunch of extras you dont want or need.Ive been driving over 40 years and my two visits here are in my top car repair experiences.I also love Inglewood Auto in Kenmore for Toyota and other Japanese vehicles.
Awesome people--reasonable prices and most importantly I trust them
Did only what was needed. I thought my brakes needed to be done but they told me exactly what shape my brakes were in and I didn’t need to replace them. Honest and good work
I finally found an auto shop I trust! Thank you Spencer and your team! I wont be taking my vehicles anywhere else!
This is a great auto shop. My dad has been coming here for years and I recently had some work done on a car I got off Craigslist. They do great work and the pricing is very fair. Will keep going here.
Was told by Meineke that my car was heavily leaking coolant and that my car will break. However the parts that they claimed were broken i.e. water pump hoses and such were actually just replaced several months prior to taking my car in for an oil change there. Skeptical, I brought my car here based off of recommendations. They were incredibly busy, phones ringing, a lot filled with cars and they were able to do an inspection and have me on my way within hour that my car was fine and I did not need to make the needed repairs mentioned above. Spencer is incredibly nice and helpful.
Fair prices, knowledgeable staff, honest and trustworthy.
Always excellent service! They have always done a great job on my vehicles. I trust the shop to always give me honest, helpful advice and to do quality work.
I have complete trust in Kenmore Automotive. They take great care of my older car and will not perform a service that is not needed. They are the best.
Kenmore Automotive always provides the best service for various needs. Spencer and Sean are great people to deal with. You cannot go wrong giving your business to these guys.
Great Shop. Spencer always a pro. i would recommend these guys. Dependable, honest, reasonable, smart.
Spencer and his team at Kenmore Automotive do a great job and are dependable to do what is needed, and is always on top of what is needed for your vehicle. I’ve been going there for nearly 10 years and have always had a good experience.
Spencer is awesome! He really is one of the few great mechanics left who isnt interested in emptying your wallet. I completely trust his work and it gives me peace of mind knowing I finally found a mechanic, I can trust!
We use Kenmore all the time and they do a great job on everything. We have never had something go bad that was fixed at Kenmore. Spencer is the best. He knows his stuff. He is always friendly as well as the rest of the people working there. You know that feeling that you have with some places where you feel they are fixing things just to make a buck? Not here!!!!!!! They take their time to explain everything that needs to be done and if you have questions they do not hesitate to answer them. I would recommend them to everyone needing work done on a vehicle. You can never go wrong at Kenmore automotive!!!!!!!
Spencer and the team always take great care to provide excellent customer service along with their expert car repair and knowledge. I was nervous when I started going to them because of bad experiences elsewhere but they were solid and competitively priced. And now for the last few years I wont go anywhere else! Grateful for these guys!
First I have to say this crew is great! I am a Service Advisor for another repair shop. I was referred to these guys to look at my Shelby Cobra. They were able to diagnose the problem and repair it in a timely manner. The communication was great throughout the entire the process. They didnt try to upsell anything and were just straight forward. I am very particular to who works on my vehicles and I definitely trust these guys. When I dont want to work on my own vehicles I will definitely use these guys.**Key points**Close to homeAffordableFriendlyKnowledgeableThanks again Spencer and the crew!!!
Spencer always does an amazing job for us on all our vehicles. On more than one occasion he has checked out several issues with my cars, and is first to tell me my brakes are still good or that a battery cable is loose. He doesn’t make any money off of this, but his integrity is why he has my business and my referral for life! Thanks again Spencer!!!
Cant recommend Kenmore Automotive highly enough! Spencer and his crew of auto mechanics are honest, do quality work, and communicate with you every step of the way. I actually live in Seattles Green Lake neighborhood, but never hesitate to drive up to Kenmore in order to have these guys work on my old diesel truck -- even for simple things like oil changes, tire rotations, steering alignments, etc. If youre tired of dealing with shady, untrustworthy shops, check these guys out. Kenmore Automotive is easily the best auto repair shop in North Seattle.
Spenser and his team are nothing short of incredible. Brought my car in with symptoms. His team diagnosed, communicated, and corrected the issues found. And in the end, with absolute professionalism. As an ol car guy that can no longer spend time on cars, especially complex newer ones, Spenser and his team are a great asset to this community. Thank you!
Great service. Great price. Clean shop. Check em out.
Brought my car in for first time in Oct 2019 for LOF and checkup and was very pleased with the experience. Nothing extra beyond LOF was required so that was nice. Nice clean office and everything went smoothly. Only 1 mi from my home so very convenient.
An excellent neighborhood service garage. We have been having our cars serviced there for years and the work has always been done to a high standard of quality at a fair price. If anything goes wrong with any repair they promptly and fairly address the issue and make it right. I have complete trust in their work and ethics.
It is always busy here... Because it is the best around. Spencers an honest guy, and I wont take my wagon anywhere else while Im in Seattle. Thanks!
They helped me get an affordable tow to their shop and had my car in and out in no time for a really great price. Couldnt have appreciated it more. Thank you Shaun and Spenser!
Ive been taking my cars to Kenmore Automotive for many, many years. They do excellent work at a reasonable price. I wouldnt take my vehicles to any other place!
Ive had two great experiences with Kenmore Auto.AC did not work and because parts were not immediately available, they gave me a workaround. When I returned to make the repair they Spenser replaced a much less expensive and more available relay at a tremendous cost savings.More recently, Spenser estimated cost to repair some damage a mouse did to wiring in my truck. The repair was done quickly and at the estimated cost.I would recommend Kenmore Auto to anybody who asks! Knowledgeable, pleasant, and efficient.
My sixth or so year with Kenmore Auto now. Dropped off the car for some proactive work. As always, done as promised, at rate quoted, with quality workmanship. I refer my family here. They have maintained my 20 year manual Honda with all work, clutch, transmission, and my emergencies. Great, well run establishment.
We love the staff at Kenmore Automotive, and who can say that about their car mechanics? They are friendly, helpful, and very fair in their pricing structure. Three cars and two years later, we are more than pleased with the level of experience and customer service this team projects.
Took our Ford Edge in with engine light on - Kenmore Automotive checked everything out - speculated that is was related to the capless gas fill and reset the code. Very helpful, honest and friendly. Weve (family) have taken other vehicles here before and always have had good results - Id recommend Kenmore Automotive to anyone!
Kenmore Automotive is number 1 in this area and beyond. They are truthful and are 110% honest in their work and stand behind what they do. I have been so pleased with their work and every time I take my cars in I have felt supported. Please give them a try, you will never be disappointed.
Spencer and his crew get the job done. They are honest and consistent in what they do. They are always busy (hint: that means that they are good) so I always make an appointment when they service my car.They will guarantee the job the do and will give you an honest recommendation!!
Fast, friendly, fair. Spencer and his team do great work at a reasonable price. I have stopped taking my cars to the dealer for work.
Always happy to let me borrow a tool when I need to fix my bike/skateboard, I would trust them with my car
I have taken several cars there and have always had straight forward honest service from them. On occasion, I have even brought my own parts and they simply charged me for the labor to install them. Good guys all around.
I have had a really good experience here. They are honest.
Man... These guys are great. I work at a body shop up the street and occasionally we need mechanical help in a pinch. I can ALWAYS count on the guys at Kenmore Automotive to give us great service. You couldnt ask for nicer, more knowledgeable guys. I cant recommend them enough.If you are reading these reviews trying to decide whether or not to take your car to Kenmore Automotive, read no further. You will not be disappointed!
The honesty, integrity, skill and professionalism exhibited at your shop are what keep me bringing my vehicles to you all the way from Everett! Not to mention your quick turn-around times. Thanks so much, David!
I always take my vehicles to Kenmore Automotive. They are efficient and thorough. They fix it right the first time. It is quite easy to get in for an appointment in the next few days. I would recommend them to others.
My experience with Kenmore has always been very positive. I have gone there for many, many years, and staff is knowledgeable and very straight forward. They are always honest and upfront with cost estimates and i have found there pricing to be more than competitive. I would highly recommend to anybody looking for a high quality, trustworthy mechanic.
My experiences with your shop has always been top notch. You go out of your way to help repair my Jeep. The car is done when you say it will be, which is extremely important to me, and the work has held up as promised, although the EGR repair is only a few days old. I am confident it was done with pride on your part. Thanks
I have had my sons jeep worked on several times there, they have always done a fine job and good prices. But this last time they out did them selves they did not charge me a dime. Anyway it a great place to take your car.
Always professional and great work!I was first introduced by a friend who said they did great work for him. I have taken several cars to them over the past few years and recommend their work. They always do a great job.
I have been very pleased with their service! It`s great to know that the workwill always be completed on time and in a most satisfactory way.A great place to have my car serviced!!!
I have brought 4 cars to Spenser and his crew with EXCELLENT results each time. One was a major replacement that was quoted to me by dealer at $4500.00 and Spenser was able to do the same repairs for around $2000.00. They have worked on my Fords, GMC, Volkswagen and Buick. Love them!!
Friendly, professional service with reasonable pricing. I trust them with my vehicle.
Great auto repair shop. Nice staff that works with you and are focused on long term customer loyalty. This is my go-to repair shop.
All the five star reviews dont mean crap when you are patient and wait two weeks, only to hear that they are still understaffed and still havent given your car a full diagnostic. Worst auto service Ive experienced. Im guess Im going to Gregs Japanese auto were people are actually friendly, know how to conduct business and work on the problem instead of wasting your time.
These professionals repaired my lower intake gasket in a timely fashion at a fair cost. Communication was easy and pleasant, Ill definitely be going back if I need to!
I am really happy about the amazing customer service I received from Kenmore Automotive. They looked at my car right away, gave me the diagnosis, then had the part the next day. Fast service and very honest which I really appreciate! Thank you Spencer from Kenmore Automotive.
Ive been going to Dave and Spenser since the Terrace Automotive days (2005), and happily followed them to Kenmore when they moved. Honest, reliable, and reasonably priced service.
Dave & crew are not the norm for auto service, they really care about their customers & provide excellent service, paying attention to all the details. They were efficient, courteous, I was dropped off & picked up which is way above normal customer service. Dave saved cost to repair brake light problem. I would definitely recommend them to family & friends! Thanks, Dave
Quick and fair. Nice, clean guys who stand behind their estimate.
Ive been going to KA for years now, they are always helpful, quick and reasonably priced.
Always diagnose the problem correctly and quickly
TLDR version: This is one of those places that if you dont know what youre doing, they will take advantage of you and you come out with a bunch more problems than when you came in.I went in for an oil change and they tried to convince me they found $700 worth of repairs that needed to be done right away. I asked them to let me know what the issues were and that I would then look into them myself. I also told them I had run a diagnostic on the car to check for any codes that came up and knew that there was a leak on the gas tank because of damage to the gas cap, but now that I had gotten a new cap, could they please just turn off the lights for me. They claimed they found another code that I hadnt noticed but they would have to run some tests to figure out why it had come up. I agreed to let them flush my power steering fluid, change my oil, then run a diagnostic for the additional code. All this came out to $300! I paid by phone and after I had hung up, I realized they hadnt even told me what became of the diagnostic. When I called back to ask for a summary of the services and costs he simply said that there was solinoid that he took out and cleaned off some oil on it, and it fixed the problem with the code--said this had probably all been because my oil was too low. So $100 for a power steering fluid flush, $100 for an oil change(??), and another $100 for essentially doing nothing other than cleaning some oil off my car.Because Im a young woman, I know they just saw dollar signs the minute I walked in the door. I feel like they definitely took advantage of me, and I should have definitely argued these costs. However, I am content this time to walk away, write my first scathing review, and sayI WILL NOT BE COMING BACK.
Came in for brakes check and brake fluid check because JiffyLube had said my brake fluid was low. You said otherwise, that all was fine. Friendly & honest, very much appreciated.
Great shop, I will have all my work done there, Have been looking for a shop that I trust and this is it. Customer for life.
Two years ago, a local oil change shop botched a serpentine belt install. I know, I shouldnt have had them do that work. I took my vehicle to Kennmore Auto to have the repair repaired. Spenser was very nice, documented his work well and even provided photos of the damage. My vehicle was returned promptly. His documentation was key to help me get a full refund and reimbursement for a rental vehicle. This experience makes me a life long customer! Thanks Kenmore Auto!
Great place to get your car serviced.
Top notch, personal, customized service. I completely trust Dave and Spenser with caring for my vehicle and never worry that Im overpaying, paying for services that arent needed or am not receiving the best work possible.
I had a 96 lifted Cherokee with the passenger side motor mount bolts (all 3) broken off inside the engine block. After trying to get them out myself but no joy, I did a little research and found this place. These guys are legit. I dealt with Spencer who I think is the owner and have nothing but good things to say about him and this place. Plus, he used to wheel Jeeps so he gets some bonus points in my book. All things aside, the cost to remove them was fair and the job took less than 24 hours.Im always reluctant to take my Jeep anywhere to have someone else besides me work on it but these guys just changed my perspective a little bit.
Keep it local. These guys are the best.
Honest, professional, friendly, reliable, reasonably priced. Wouldnt take my cars any place else.
I took my 2006 for routine oil change and found my battery needed replacing. I have been coming to Kenmore Automotive for the last several years and I do trust them as they have always kept my carrunning!!
Repaired my fathers Cadillac with intermittent electrical problems for a third of the price of the dealer.Thanks Spencer.A+ Highly recomended
