Brought my parents Acura MDX here roughly a couple months ago for an oil change because I couldn't get the oil drain plug off (must have over tightened it last change). Anyway, this is one of the nearest full service shops to home so I decided to give them a call after seeing overall good reviews.  I believe it was something like $18 and I told them I was going to bring in my own oil and filter. I could have sworn that I told them this when I got there as well.  Somehow they missed the oil and filter on the passenger side floor mat... Anyway, they still only charged me $18 and it wasn't until after I got in the car that I realized it. I was cool with it. One of the young guys who works here as a Supra that has over 700rwhp. Some guy came in and was like "damn! whos car is that?"

No complaints here! Our brakes needed to be worked on, so we called first thing on Saturday morning and our car was fixed within 2-3 hrs. They close early at 2:30pm on Saturdays but it was great to know they'd have the job completed in due time. Our bill was surprisingly lower than we expected and we'll be back in the future if we need more work done. We were just so tired of Midas and wanted to try another business.

My family has been coming here for a while. They did a great job repairing one of my BMW's. I have never felt ripped off when I come here. Their work is also great, I have never had to take my car back for something over looked. They also do a great job at managing time, usually my car is done same day. I will continue to return.

I've been a fan of Kenny's Auto for more than ten years.  Recently, I took a car for a smog check near where I work in Dublin.  The shop was dishonest and tried to charge me for additional services that were not needed.  I left without paying.Kenny smog checked the car again and it passed.  All for a reasonable price.  It was done quickly and he made some simple recommendations to keep the old car running as he knows I do my own maintenance.Thanks Kenny!

By far the best place I've gone to get my car fixed. I originally brought my old Lexus ES 300 to Kenny.  He kept it running well past 150K miles.  I have also brought my Honda Civic and Mercedez C320. I never feel ripped off, and he always finishes the work when he tells me it will be completed.  Really great service.

My car needed a smog check (not the test only type), so I was free to go to any smog shop.  Kenny's Auto Service had a coupon for a smog check in the PennySaver for $19.95.  I figured I could stop by and get a smog check and then run some errands down by the Westfield Oakridge Mall.  When I arrived the mechanic was just finishing up with an oil change for another customer.  The mechanic said it would be about 30 minutes to complete the smog check, so I decided to wait in the lobby.  The lobby had a strong smell of cigarettes, but tolerable for a short period.  I probably could have walked over to Golf Land and putted a few balls between the dinosaur's legs, or stopped in to see if the legendary Frank Shamrock was at his martial arts studio, but I decided to stay put and read for a bit.   Within about 20-30 minutes my car was ready.  Total price of the smog check, along with certificate and ETF was $29.95, a great price!  I'll be back with another coupon in a couple of years.

Right off the bat, I have to say, "Go to Kenny!!"  They do great work and for an incredibly reasonable price.My 2001 Durango overheated and broke down a couple miles from home one night.  Not knowing a reliable place to go to other than the Dealer, the AAA tow truck driver recommended Kenny's Auto Service.  He hadn't heard any details other than that Kenny gets a lot of repeat business.  Which to me screams good work.  The full business name is "Almaden Collision & Kenny's Auto Repair".The tow truck dropped off my truck at midnight and from there everything else was via phone.  I'm more than familiar around a car, but don't have the time to work on a car and work too.  Kenny knew a lot about the Durango after having two of his own, gave me an estimate and went to work.  He then came back with recommendations as most mechanics do to generate business, but it was stuff that actually mattered and was cheap (oil change, and front brakes).  He didn't try to sell me on work that I knew I needed such as the ABS repair.  When I hit him up with a quote for that I told him to go for it.The work done was: -Thermostat and hose replacement -Pressure test -New radiator fluid -Oil Change -Front brake rotors turned and new pads -Rear differential drained, gears cleaned, new ABS brake sensor (it's located in the differential case on Durango's)All for $630.  Now that might be a lot for some people, but considering all the labor involved that usually is the big chunk of any bill, this was extremely good.  I'll never go back to the dealer again.  The differential alone was quoted to me at Capital Dodge for $300 and Kenny charged me $180.  You do the math. BTW... he does foreign jobs too.
