As a reviewer, I never want to give more stars to a place than it deserves - and I'm definitely not…read moredoing it with this place. Let me tell you why: I started going to K&M Automotive because that's where my parents always went (and paid for my car to go). I can't recall if they go because their friends with Keith, the owner, or because their friends because they go, but does that really matter? The real point is I still go to this business, years and years later, because the service is fantastic. Whenever there's been a problem with my good ole' mustang, I drive it up to the little shop overflowing with cars, and someone - Keith himself or his mechanics - comes and greets me despite how busy they are. I tell them what the problem is and they take a quick look at it right then and there. If it's something minor they'll fix it while I watch, or I leave it and it's fixed in a matter of days. The longest a repair has taken was three weeks - and that's because I had the whole transmission rebuilt. Other than that it's been three days tops depending on the repair. Whoever I work with on my visits to K&M is always straight forward with me. They'll tell me exactly what's going on with my car and exactly how much it's going to cost (not just the total, but down to how much for parts and shipping and man labor.) The costs have always been reasonable and I've never, ever felt like I've been price-gouged or taken advantage of in anyway. And even if I'm strapped for cash (transmissions aren't cheap), Keith is always willing to sit down and work something out with me. Straight-up and honest, exactly how I like it. But of course every place has it's cons. K&M's facility is a little garage on the outskirts of old downtown Wylie facing a railroad track. It's not the easiest place to find for the non-local, and there's hardly any room to drive down the street, let alone pull in and out of the business. Cars in the garage, cars in the drive-in, cars in the street, over the curb. It's a pretty cramped space. If you aren't a frequent customer like me, you'd be intimidated and wonder if they even had time for your business. And this place definitely doesn't look commercial, which I can see causing hesitation in some people. Of course these cons are purely cosmetic and really have nothing to do with the quality of service I have received. And frankly they are the only "cons" I can conceivably testify to. Hence the 5-Stars. I will trust K&M with my Mustang (and any car I have after that) as long as it's possible. After all, I still drive the car I got when I was sixteen and I'm sure that says more about the quality of care than my supernaturally good driving skills. In my opinion they deserve every star I've given them.

I purchased a truck from Jason at Kendall Auto less than six months ago. Jason came highly…read morerecommended from my company, which makes this even harder to write. At the time, Jason assured me this vehicle had a brand new engine, and that a considerable amount of other parts and components where recently replaced, as Jason had owned this vehicle prior. At the time, this truck had just over 240000 miles and Jason assured me that if I brought the truck to him he would honor a "warranty" that would cover parts... No labor. At the time, i was being pressured from my organization to purchase a vehicle, so I had little choice but to agree. Furthermore, I made the mistake of not paying attention to the quality of tire and what kind of rims/tires the truck needed... 22s as it were are difficult because no one has them on hand... The truck ran fine for a couple of months until those tires had to be replaced... Only 3000 miles after I bought the truck. Increasingly, more and more, issues began to arise with this vehicle... Coolant lines needing to be replaced, oil pressure senders and sensors going bad... My dashboard backlight going out (they are not individual lamps, but a whole piece that needs to be replaced) and to top it off- the knock sensor in the "brand new" engine Jason claimed all began showing signs of wear and needed changing... Fast forward to today- 255,000 miles on the frame - I've sunk close to $2500 already, owing $2800 still and still needing close to 1k work... Igo to ask Jason to to honor his promise for a warranty on the knock sensor and the dash light as I feel they pertain to the year warranty... What do I get as a response? Defensive rhetoric and accusations of not taking care of the vehicle... This guy will go back on his word and professional promises to his customers. I wish I could continue but at this point I will not be doing any further business with this establishment.

I wanted a 2nd opinion and after he already changed one side advises me that he thought there was nothing wrong with them in the first place.

I took to another shop which specializes in Japanese and foreign vehicles and they advised me they were badly installed and one bearing looked as is it was never changed. I brought my concerns to the shop and of course he wasn't happy with someone question is integrity and work but when it comes to safety of my family and integrity that's what is as consumers trust in the mechanic for. I'm out of $650 for parts and labor at Ables and then paid $812 at another place but at least I'm warrantied for a year on parts and labor. I wasn't offered anything.

Sounds too good to be true. It probably is!…read more Car needed an alternator put in. Chloe gave me a verbal quote cheaper than the chain repair shop and said she could get it done today. Just bring it over this morning and we will have it done by 5:00. Sounds like a small locally owned shop that you want to support and do business with right? Quick service and good price! Well, when I dropped the car off at 10:30 she confirmed 5:00 today. At 4:30 I called to see if it was done and she said it's going to take a little longer than I thought but it will be done today. At 5:30 I stopped by and they still hadn't gotten the old one out yet. She said its more complex than I thought but we will get it done before we go home. The car was finally ready at 9:30 pm so I guess give them credit for staying late (ie 2 stars and not 1). On the way home I stopped to get the alternator checked at autozone and they pointed out that the wire to the alternator wasn't even hooked up so it wasn't working properly. So I came home and had to finish the job myself. If it sounds too good to be true. It probably is. So do yourself a favor. Pay the extra money and go somewhere else!!! PS. No written quote, they don't take CC.

They also perform paint and bodywork, as he has a temp paint booth he used on some cars in his portfolio. I went to Landon for a long trip maintenance check for my 2005 Ford Mustang. He was able to get my car in for service promptly. His diagnosis was quick and he got back to me with the results in a timely manner. Being a gearhead, the diagnosis was as expected and I continued with his service recommendations. He uses this new system that sends an email with the recommendations, estimate, and even payment. Landon is very friendly and provided good customer service. It's one of the most organized shops that I've experienced as a customer. The shop is in a somewhat secluded location given the area, which can be desirable. It's a airplane hanger style shop, which has a cool vibe. Due to the style, the shop is quite massive and spacious so you don't have to worry about your car being cramped in. Currently, Landon has 1 lift and is looking for techs because he has a high volume of work, which is a good thing. He gave me a tour of the shop and some cars he's working on. Currently, there's mostly pickups, Ford Broncos, but he has some interesting projects such as a RX7 and Corvette. I'm looking forward to partnering with Noble Motors on my cars and seeing what else will come out of Landon's shop.
