Great work on my jeep! Communicative and easy to work with. Always answers phone and gives good and realistic time frames

Avoid this place at all costs! They installed a rebuilt transmission, truck broke down two months later and said because of the catalytic converter ‍ he did not want to be responsible $6,000 shit transmission he installed. He has not answered any calls since the transmission failure read more

I had K&S do a pre-purchase car inspection. Good price, and they're flexible and helpful. Sam was especially good at explaining what they were checking and exactly what would be required to fix any problems. read more

this is the only Micanic that I trust to touch my vehicle. Sam is very knowledgeable of any car and gets the job done right every single time. read more

Thanks to K&S, I took my car for emergency services (clutch gave out). Was able to get my car repair in reasonable time and price! Do not hesitate to bring your vehicle, Sam will take care of you! read more

I recently, about two months ago had my car transmission get replaced here, and let me tell you since I first spoke to Sam, I felt the genuine spirit , like I have never felt with other mechanics. Finding a honest, genuine mechanic that will take care of you by not scamming you is very hard nowadays, but Sam and his team are very honest people. I've recommended them to others. My car is back up running great , such quality work here you will find. Highly recommended-Steven Ramirez read more

Very happy with the inspection and routine maintenance. They were quick and professional, up-front about the costs and didn't push for extras. I'd been taking my Toyota to the Milpitas dealer before but they kept "finding" little things to overcharge on (like $70 for a stiff gas cap) so finally I came here and got honest service. read more

I found this place by requesting a quote through yelp and they were the first one to replied back. Their response was very quick. Anyways, I came in to have my maintenance on my AC and the jerk issue with my car. Nothing was coming up on the initial diagnose but Sam, the owner, suggested that I should do a transmission maintenance in which I did. After doing the transmission maintenance, he found my fluid not in a great state along with filter issues. After doing so, my car feels better compared to when it started but it definitely do still need some work but we're heading on the right direction. He then suggested that do a couple more transmission fluid change just to completely flush out my old transmission fluid in which I agree to do. Oh and the AC works so much better now. Honestly speaking, this place will now be my go to place due to their great service, knowledge, and very fair pricing. Even though they're quite far from my house, it's a drive I'm willing to do. Thank you and I'll see you on my next service. read more

Great service. I'm now taking all my vehicles to this place. They don't try to upsell you on things you don't need and breaks down the service they recommend for me to better understand it. read more

I highly recommend K & S Automotive for your automotive needs. I needed a transmission fluid and filter change and I called multiple autoshops, but K & S stood out. The owner Sam is professional and knowledgeable when it comes to cars. His expertise and knowledge made it a no brainer to choose this shop. Also his prices were more reasonable than what other auto body shops were quoting. I took my car in around 10am and got it back around 5pm. Sam even went above and beyond and took photos of what my transmission looked like and the oil that came out of my car. I will recommend this shop to anyone who needs automotive work done. read more

My car needed a big repair. Blown head gasket. Sam responded quickly to my inquiry and answered all my questions. I'm so glad I chose to bring my car to his shop. They did a wonderful job! Sam saw a couple other parts that needed to be replaced, he communicated with me promptly. More than the work they did for my car, it is the customer service that I can say makes them extra special. They went above & beyond to satisfy customers. They even delivered my car to my house! This is the cherry on top - Best customer service! I will not hesitate to recommend them to others. Their price is a lot better than the most quotations I got. Their business is very busy, however they all found time to be extra nice to customers. read more

They were professional, fast, and honest. I will be using them from now on for both of our vehicles.

Sam and his crew are polite, professional and most importantly master mechanics! I've had my cars in this shop 4 times over the last few years and I have nothing but great things to say. Trustworhy , fair and reliable! Thanks again Sam! read more

Went in for an oil change and came out with an awesome car. Sam and his crew fixed an oil leak that I've been trying to get fixed forever. Sam kept in touch with me and let me know what was going on and how much it would cost up front. This is a very clean shop! No old cars hanging around. I will absolutely use them again for my car needs read more

I reach out to K&S regarding my infiniti's rear coupler re-learning and another issue on my car popped up. Sam was kind enough to diagnose and helped me fix the issues with my car. Sam gave what I feel were fair and honest quote on how to fix my car. Sam was very professional and communicated consistently. I would highly recommend checking them out if your having issues with your car. read more

Called up to schedule service. But they are so busy can't find time to answer questions or even call back. Definitely bad customer service.

They are very professional and the price is reasonable. They completely solved the problem I requested a service on. And didn't upsell me on other services after I said I already finished a maintenance earlier. read more

Sam is very knowledgeable about cars and trustworthy. Definitely will be my go to place to get my car fixed for a very reasonable price!

This shop is awesome. The owner is very responsive, honest, and offers the best prices in the bay area. I ran into trouble getting my car smogged due to two different issues: my transmission fluid being contaminated or a solenoid went bad. I took my 2007 lexus is350 to them and they were able to identify that my transmission fluid needed a complete flush and fill. After only 2 hours, they were able to fix this problem and my car was safe to smog. These guys are really knowledgeable about cars and they offer tons of other services ranging from oil changes to body work. I will forsure be going to them for any car problems I have. read more

So glad that I found this shop on yelp. I was needing to find a new mechanic for an oil change. Sam the owner is the best! I came back to K&S for my A/C that had stopped omitting cold air. Sam took my car in right away and now my A/C works wonderfully! At the same time I had the spark plugs replaced. Sam charges fair prices and even gave me a discount for being a repeat customer. He even corrected an issue that I was having with a window for FREE! Sam and all of his technicians are really nice and patient. Thank you Sam! read more

I recently took my car here and I couldn't be happier with the service. They did an amazing job on my vehicle. The work was thorough, efficient, and reasonably priced. If you're in Newark and need a trustworthy shop K&S is definitely a go to. Highly recommend read more

Their service is always good. Have had general service as well as brake pads changed here and I was always given all information and costs up front. read more

Great service very helpful and fair pricing Sam and Erik and there crew really care Il be back

Short story: I'm a new customer. The crew at K&S did a great job diagnosing, communicating, and repairing my car. The cost was more than fair, and they did it in a timely way. I'm happy to have worked with them and it feels good to know a mechanic I can trust and bring my cars to. My car started making some strange noises. I called Sam and he said come on over! The issue was tricky to diagnose. Sam called me a few hours later to let me know he needed more time to figure out where the sound is coming from. I really appreciated the update. Next day, he called me and said they figured out it was coming from the transmission. He told me it is a replacement and I was a bit shocked (I was hoping it is a loose bolt somewhere). He was able to find a used transmission for a reasonable price, and is willing to warranty the work, but I was not emotionally ready for such a big and expensive job, so I took the car home. I sought a second opinion, and took my time, and even did a transmission oil change hoping the noise would go away. After having exhausted my options, I came back. For this whole process, Sam was understanding and patient. He takes the time to explain what he sees and we talked over options together. I felt he really cares about a relationship with his customers. A couple days later, my car is ready for pick up. I immediately noticed how much more responsive the drive felt. I had gotten used to the sluggish and delayed transfer of power from gas peddle to wheel so I had no idea it can drive so much better. He had also replaced some other parts, and a whiny noise that was coming from one of my wheels went away. It was a bigger repair than I expected, but I am glad he found these issues and fixed them. Thanks Sam and your crew for your good work! read more

Excellent service by KS Automotive! I reached out for some help with my exhaust and a seized bolt. They took me in as a walk in and had the job done in 2 hours! Price was reasonable and no funny business. I'll definitely come back for other car issues, Sam the owner is kind and knowledgeable. Thanks for all your help guys. read more

Respected Sam for his honesty and genuine attitude to help us out one way or the other. It did take some time to get it out the shop but ONLY because Sam and his team were determined to make sure everything was inline and fixed with no errors before turning it back over to us. My only criticism would be communication and updates throughout the process. Other than that, we will definitely bring our car back here for any future repairs needed. read more

The best service I've ever had, any mechanic is looking to get money out of you. I came in with an AC problem. They fixed in the same day, and as a college student they did it within my budget. You can tell right away why they have 5 stars and why their service is so good. Highly recommend for any future problems to come here. read more

Used K&S Automotive to replace my power steering rack. They quoted a great price, completed the install at the quoted price, and in the 2 days they said it would take. They also handled an unexpected issue professionally and to my complete satisfaction. My wife's car drives like a new car now - it's unbelievable! Recommend this family owned business!! read more

They did brake replacement work using OE parts as requested for a fair price. The car brakes much better now and my stopping distance is back to normal. The owner, Sam, is very welcoming and friendly. After this service, I trust K&S to get the job done going forward. read more

Great people! Great Service! Did a starter change on my M Roadster! Quick and Clean! Did oil change and fuel filter change on my Jeep Diesel! Sam knows his stuff and he is a straight forward guy! read more

Our 2019 Grand Caravan driver side window regulator failed. I thought it would require dealer service but my experience with the local Dodge dealers was poor, to say the least. I found K&S here on Yelp and based on the reviews decided to give them a try. Sam was great on the phone, knew what he was talking about, gave me a great estimate and had the van fixed by the end of the same day! Great service and I will be going back. read more

Honest work and good turn around time, I was worried about my head gasket leaking and they helped me tremendously. The owner took the time to explain to me and show me the problems, updating me with photos as they made progress. I'll come here again for sure! read more

Sam the owner was super helpful, and thorough. He got my car in and out fast and even addressed issues I didn't know I had. The prices the shop offers are super reasonable and the team is very knowledgeable. They replaced my valve cover gasket and the vacuum pump gasket. I cannot recommend them enough. If you need anything done hit them up. They really care about their customers and will take care of you. read more

The quality of service was amazing, communication was great through out my cars stay. Sam went above and beyond to make sure my car was taken care of the right way before it was returned . Would highly recommend to any one looking for a good reliable mechanic in the Newark area , thanks again read more

Quick response, great quality work and was able to price match other shops. Highly recommended!

Requested a quote for an oil change and got a response instantly with a very solid price. Everybody that worked there was easy going and professional. Highly recommend. read more

I haven't even brought my car to them yet and Sam got back to me immediately within 5 minutes! He is so professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly nice. I can't wait to bring my car to them! read more

Sam and the team at K&S go above and beyond. My first introduction to this shop was a few years ago when I needed to replace my brakes, brake pads, and rotors. We had just moved to Newark so, before I decided on a new mechanic shop, I called around to do research on pricing. When I called Sam, he gave me a price that was more affordable than the other four shops I called. Moreover, he spent extra time with me to describe exactly what he would do and how long it would take. Then, he delivered on that job. From that day until today, every time I've taken my cars into his shop, this team exceeds expectations. In addition to providing competitive pricing, I also appreciate that Sam and his team explain what they are doing, maintain consistent communication during each job, and are respectful of my time. Moreover, I love the fact that this is a family-owned business! read more

Three months ago I went to K&S automotive to replace my clutch for the transmission. Upon the arrival at the auto shop, I was greeted by the owner and was impressed with the professionalism he displayed during the discussion of what needs to be replaced and informed me he'd do preventative maintenance to ensure there is no other issues with my vehicle for free. During the week he called me to inform there's an issue with the driver side panel behind the pedals. He informed me what he recommends as well as gave me a quote. It was expensive, but it was worth the repair. As I was about to pay the for the repair the owner told me he deducted the cost of the repair, due to the less labor hours was required. K&S automotive offers a lot of services, but that's not the reason I would recommend them. I would recommend them because they display good communication, excellent service, and outstanding quality of work. read more

Eric was very helpful and he always provide update if there are any issues. Overall very good value auto repair. The store is expanding and they are always busy which is a good thing . They fix all kinds of cars. Plus K&S have great mechanics, there are a lot of engines being pulled at the shop which means they know what they are doing, heck they even have a forklift. I trust my car repairs to K&S. read more
