When I got it back I was super happy because it took about 3 weeks and I needed it back. But immediately after I noticed a lot of HUGE issues, car wouldn't accelerate, wouldn't turn off, wouldn't lock or go into park. I had to get it towed in, and they said they'd take a look at it. The receptionist woman was very unfriendly on the phone and in person, which was shocking because most of their other staff seem very polite. When they had it they said they'd fix it in the next week and it took them about 3 more weeks to get it back to me. Then finally I get it back for the second time, and my door dont open from the outside. I emailed them and told them about this issue and I was not rude or anything but I felt like the email I received back was very unfriendly. When I told them about this they told me not to take it to them if I cant trust them with my vehicle, which seems redundant since they are the reason I dont trust them, when I obviously trusted them enough to bring it there and to give them the opportunity to fix whatever mistake was made. I am a young woman and honestly felt a little taken advantage of and or not taken seriously whatsoever. I also received a couple voicemails saying essentially they didn't know what they were doing and they'd never worked on this type of car before (Hyundai Sonata), so Im not sure what "trust" they expect when they treat their costumers like this. They seem to lack a lot of basic costumer service skills and knowledge. They deal with a huge part of peoples lives (their vehicle) and people are bound to be frustrated when stuff is wrong with their car, so if they dont know how to deal with that they just shouldn't.

Not only is the staff polite and accommodating, but the service is second to none, efficient, and professional. Jimmy (may be the owner- he's always the guy I interact with) is always kind, knowledgeable, and patient when it comes to questions and needing something explained. Anytime friends ask for shop recommendations, I always refer them to K's! Also, it is probably important to mention that they gave me the lowest quote for new tires out of any of the shops in lawrence. Great dudes. Great service. Great shop. Go to K's!

Maybe third times a charm. Since they mentioned my yelp review on my Google review, let me repost…read moreit again. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE: The only thing this shop ever did right possibly was tires and brakes. I was a fool for continuing to take my vehicles there after several mishaps. When people show you who they are believe them the first time. I took my daughter's VW convertible there to get an alternator change. They CHANGED IT TWICE. Last week, the alternator gave out again within the time span that it was under warranty with the parts place advance auto. I no longer deal with K-Tire because of their incompetence so I took it somewhere else that shop found out that they use silicone and glue the connector into the alternator which is why it ultimately kept failing. GLUE AND SILICONE. Advance auto we're kind enough to reimburse me the labor and cost at the new shop $460 so that I wouldn't have to deal with K-Tire again. So we're very clear. This is not the first time that they have proved their work shotty and subpar. As you can see photos that I have attached here I paid $688 to have my daughter's heat fixed just to be told when I went to pick it up that the heat wasn't fixed and it needed a heater core, which was going to be another $1400. I'm not sure what I paid $688 for and I didn't even question it at the time. I think I was just concerned with the fact that it was gonna cost me another $1400 for her to have heat. I think you're able to test the heater core with the temperature gauge before you charge someone $688 to give them the same vehicle back that they brought in that didn't have heat. I PICKED UP THE SAME VEHICLE WITH NO HEAT THAT I TOOK THEM THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS I GAVE THEM $688 DOLLARS. Before that incident I brought the same car in to get her side view mirror assembly replaced. They broke the plastic part on assembly that held it on the vehicle. I went to pick it up, they had put a bolt through the broken plastic piece and the frame of my daughter's car. Not only did it look ridiculous. WHO GAVE THEM THE PERMISSION TO DRILL THROUGH THE FRAME OF MY VEHICLE? NO ONE!!!!!!!!!And if that wasn't enough when I went to drive off and I was trying to adjust the mirror it wouldn't work because they weren't even smart enough to plug it in when they put it on. They had to take it apart again just to plug it up. They then tried to say it was broken when I brought it in and I had taken pictures so it clearly showed that it wasn't and I ended up ordering the piece and they did put it on and reimburse me, but if I hadn't had proof, they have blamed me. Fast forward I've been in a nightmare with my car since January between this shop and the shop they took it to who was just as horrible Don's Auto Center don't take your car there either. I had a fuel pump issue with my vehicle. They put on a fuel pump module didn't work. Car ended up failing while I was on the highway going 70+mph on highway 59. It Failed than 30 minutes of me, picking it up from their shop. It actually failed more than once. They ended up reimbursing me for that failure of a repair. I took them to court. I couldn't believe how he sat in court and lied. One thing about me I keep immaculate notes and I keep a receipt everything I say I can prove. I won judgment against them. Save yourself the headache. Megamind Please. I never said that I bought an alternator from them. I said they put an alternator on my daughter's car twice. Everything I'm saying, I have proof of.

I brought my car in for an oil change after my cross-country move to Lawrence a month or so ago. When I was leaving, I told them they could look it over to see if any other work needed to be done and that, if the air filter looked bad, I'd be more than willing to replace it. I mentioned that specifically because we replaced it about a month ago. They said our air filter looked brand new and that everything else was totally in order (we got the car souped up, $600 with my old mechanic, right before the trip so this doesn't surprise me at all). Test passed!! Oil change for my Chevy sonic was ~$60. They don't have an area to wait or anything which is no big deal if you can have someone take you somewhere else (like a coffee place on Mass) or walk yourself (it's less than a mile). It's not the best area to walk through because of the high traffic. I understand that because they are so small a sitting room might seem silly. They also really liked having a lot of time (like a few hours for an oil change scheduled days in advance) so you wouldn't want to sit their anyways. Their parking lot is difficult to navigate because they have so many cars just kind of there. I think I don't understand why because I'm not a car person. All I know is, I was terrified of hitting something because they are so close together. Basically, cosmetic/convenience issues but a mechanic with integrity will always get at least 4 from me because they can be so hard to come by.
