Excellent experience end to end. Kevin was responsive and helpful, providing an estimate and explaining both what was involved, and the cost. Easy to book, transmission fluid + brake fluid flush was completed ahead of schedule and the final bill was exactly what had been quoted. A+.
I was looking for someone specialized in BMW e30s and I could not have found a better place. Super impressed with the quality of the work and the expertise that Kevin has at KD Automotive. Kevin installed a new z3 rack and Chase Bays power steering reservoir, and it is awesome. The shop also installed new rear axles, refreshed all seals on the rear diff, refreshed the emergency brakes, and even replaced the notorious middle and rear brake lines, including a hard line that had been completely stripped and I couldnt get off. That is not easy work on an e30, and KD Automotive took care of it all with no headache whatsoever. I drove away a very happy dude. Kevin also works on many PRO3 e30 cars and that experience certainly shows. I wouldnt hesitate to bring any of my vehicles to this shop, and if youre looking for an e30 shop, absolutely -- this is the shop for you!
I’ve been going to KD Automotive for a few years now and have always been happy with their work. Kevin and his team are always nice and helpful. The work they do is excellent and a great value. Always zero pressure and they take the time to explain everything, answer questions, etc. I’ll keep taking our 3 vehicles there in the future!!
Kevin and his crew are the best. I’ve taken my Frankenstein of a custom E30 there twice now for repairs. Night and day difference in customer service and quality of work compared to other shops I’ve dealt with locally. Always top notch. Highly recommended. Thanks guys1UZ swap next?!
I would highly recommend KD Automotive! Genuine expert advice paired with an exceptional attention to detail and service make this shop a win. You will be impressed and your wallet will thank you.
Great service on modified cars. Had Kevin fix an issue with the fuel sensor and fuel pump on my supercharged e36 bmw m3. Impressed with their level of knowledge, would trust them again with any future issues, and I don’t take my car to just anyone!
This is my go to for auto repairs. Kevin and staff are knowledgeable and give you the comfort of caring about your car and not just looking to sell you on things you don’t need. Honest mechanic, would definitely recommend!
Needed help with my PRO3 racecar the week of a race and Kevin was able to help me out on short notice.
Decided to try KD based upon the positive reviews. Really happy we did. Estimate was reasonable, work was on time, and the people we spoke to were great. Will definitely be back with any further auto work. Shops like this are rare - so happy I found them.
This is my go-to shop for my cars needs. Kevin and Dylan are very kind and helpful, and flexible with my crazy schedule while being communicative about when they can squeeze me in. The pricing for the oil change was comparable to others in the area, and they helped me out with a weird issue with my car at a very reasonable T&M rate. They also advised on future services for my vehicle and gave me a quote to think on - not even remotely pushy, but super helpful for planning ahead. Take your car in and go grab lunch at Zaucer next door, super convenient! Highly recommend these guys :)
I have been going to KD for my cars for a while. KD saw both of my cars in the last two days. Great experience. I mentioned a squeak in the engine on one and they found the problem, called with an estimate and took care of it. General maintenance all around.
Really easy to work with and responsive.Having not allowed a set of wrenches other then mine to touch one of my vehicles in over a decade... I was apprehensive.Now, when someone asks me if I know an honest mechanic - I can actually say yes.
These guys kill it every time I bring my beloved E30 in for repairs. Super knowledgeable, up front and honest, and have been awesome to work with. They keep commitments on completion dates, are open about costs and make recommendations on must do items to keep costs reasonable. I certainly will continue to bring our car here for repairs for years to come.
They did a nice job repairing my car brakes. Dealership wanted to replace all the pads with a lot of extra repairs with near double the charge. Glad I chose them.
KD Automotive has been great over the last couple years of owning my 2013 BMW 328i. Ive trusted them and have had nothing but expectations surpassed! I especially want to recognize Ryan who demonstrates that he really cares for you and looks to build a relationship by getting to know you. Great job Ryan!
Excellent service. Wonderful staff. K&D is keeping my 1994 Toyota pickup running! I dont want to give up my beloved pickup and K&D does a wonderful job of figuring out the quirks of an ancient electrical and mechanical system. Reasonable prices, quick service, great communication. I definitely recommend K&D for automotive service!
Excelent service. The attention to detail and quality of work is bar none. Kevin and his crew have my business. I have a collector-grade 1990 325i and the team took excellent care of diagnosing and fixing the driveline issues and leaking hoses. The previous shop did a poor job and KD fixed the things so the car is in top shape.
I noticed both my low beams and fog lights were out. Kevin and his crew got me on the schedule on short notice and got me buttoned up in time to make a family trip down to the Oregon coast. It’s really great to have a automotive shop i can trust so completely with all my automotive needs. They deliver time and time again.
Their work is so good I wouldnt care if they told you to f off every time they saw you. But thats not how they are. Theyre amazingly friendly and even more knowledgeable and skilled.
I’m an auto parts supplier and the KD Automotive account has always been an honor to house. Great guys, with a great reputation. When you know parts, you know automotive integrity. These guys have it.
Kevin is great! Very knowledgeable- brought my Subaru in for its 60k service- provided a loaner car which was convenient- professional-good work- highly recommend.
Went in and they tried to tell me there was multiple things wrong with my car... I went in for an oil change. I have a brand new car. So, I checked it out for myself first. Come to find out, there was nothing else wrong and they figured they could tell me there was more wrong so they could charge me more.
Great Service! Only have had good experience with them. They are fair, honest and easy to work with.
The tech quickly diagnosed and repaired my car with a fair price and explained everything thoroughly throughout he process. Would highly recommend!
My engine light was on so I brought in my 09 VW Jetta, it was a Friday. I was given a free courtesy car, a Mercedes Benz, which I kept until Monday afternoon. They were honest and helpful. The work was done quickly they started working monday morning at it was ready by 11:30am. Everything went smoothly. To my surprise my car was freshly vacuumed and the console had been wiped down.Highly recommended.
I love KD Automotive! They always take such good care of me. Trustworthy and reliable and wouldnt go anywhere else.
My 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been in good hands since I found KD Automotive a few years ago. I was looking for a shop that would tell me what was in need of attention and the recommended order of attention necessary. Over time I was able to spread the necessary repairs out such that now there are no(few) problems left. And at each oil change they make sure that I am driving a safe car. Being older that is important to me.
In the automotive world it can be difficult to find people you trust to work on your cars, but Kevin and Jason are awesome! They communicate with you and keep you updated on whats going on, and they do quality work. Between me and my boyfriend, we have brought 4 cars to them and have been happy with the results every time. After going through a few bad mechanics Im happy to say that we are going to stick with KD for all of our cars needs.
A good shop that does very good work. Ive had some minor modifications and some routine maintenance done on my car here and was very happy with the work that they did. The were up-front with everything and went out of their way to provide excellent service.I really like that they do a lot of work with performance cars that are driven to their limits on the track. Because of that they have to hold themselves to a higher standard of quality than what you might find at other (also good) shops. These are the kinds of technicians that I want to work on my vehicles whether Im taking them to the track or commuting to work. I would definitely recommend them.
This is the 2nd time I’ve used KD and both times I’ve been very pleased. This most recent visit they got my truck in within a couple hours of me calling, gave me a loaner and had it done that day. Excellent customer service.
Kevin and his team do great work at a reasonable price. They accurately tell me what needs to be done to address an issue, and I trust the work they do. Careful and professional - thanks!
Took my 2014 Ford Focus in for new tires. Very impressed with the service, the attention to detail. Service was timely and the price was right. Will be using this place in the future.
I havent been to many automotive specialists but the few I have been to have pretty much put me off taking my car in. This is the first shop I have been to that has completely changed my outlook. Kevin is professional and takes a no bs approach. He knows his stuff. Hes upfront and honest. I was impressed. Most definitely a satisfied customer and I would certainly bring my car in again.
Great place! The staff is really nice and Ive always had excellent service. I highly recommend.
This is the second relatively major repair Ive had done to my vehicles recently, and KD has been fast, friendly, and helpful each time. They take the time to explain whats wrong and measure the value of repairs against the value of the vehicle, so you can make an informed decision. Each time they have been at or below their estimate. I will be going back again the next time our fleet has repair issues and for all our regular service.
The team at KD were up front about all repairs and cost required. Provided video of any issues they spotted along the way
Great staff & more importantly honest! Its not always easy to recieve bad news about repairs that may be needed but at least you can trust that they have the experience & integrity to tell you what they find.
Knowledgeable staff that does excellent work. Cant recommend enough!
Had a great experience at KD. I had a flat tire and brought it in. Two hours later it was repaired and ready to go.
Not only were the folks here nice enough to highlight work that did need to be done and work that did not need to be done, they were quick and fair with pricing and just awesome to work with. Id recommend them to anyone!
The KD-Automotive mechanics are masters of their trade. I really enjoy working with these folks.
This place is da best! Im a dummy when it comes to cars, but Kevin, the owner walked me through all of the nuances my Subaru had and helped me understand everything that was wrong with it. Weighing the pros and cons, he helped me make a logical decision.
Worst customer service ever ..Im on a trip Supporting the US NAVY at san diego navy base for 22 days. And my wife called me telling me the Mercedes have a weird noise coming from the engine bay ..I didnt want her to be in danger driving the car so I told her to stop by KD automotive (since its less than a mile far) .so they can tell her if its dangerous or not ..I also offered to pay him only to tell me if its drivable or not .( didnt want him to repair it today) he said no I wont look at it ..thanks for making my wife cry since she have no one by her side .and she know nothing about cars.thanks for being kind losers ..
4-12-17: Trustworthy and Reliable repair and maintenance, friendly professional people, fair prices.
Great shop for bmws.
Friendly employees and affordable.
Good service
I brought in my 1991 BMW 325i Sport into this shop the other week for a general tune up and to address leaks. My e30 was beginning to get a bit tired. I asked for them to comb through everything - suspension, clutch/transmission, engine, the works. They painstakingly went through everything, and the car has never run better in all my years of owning it. I am so impressed with their attention to detail, and that they found plenty of extra little things to tune up, often free of charge. They also work incredibly fast. I had a lot of work done, and it only took them 3 business days to see it to completion.These guys know their e30s and are trusted within the PRO3 community.
