Kay is it fantastic mechanic! I have a 20 year-old minivan and he fixed it and repaired it to drive like new! I can't believe how quiet and smooth it is riding. Kay's prices are very reasonable, he is a qualified and honest mechanic.. I have been using Kds for the last 15 years and have never had a bad experience . Would highly recommend.!

Karim (we call him K-Man) runs a first rate shop, KDS Automotive. He and his staff are always responsive and patient with all my questions/concerns. They are very flexible with dropping off or picking up your vehicle to fit your schedule. He always shows you the old/broken part that has been replaced and explains everything he did. He will call you with a progress report and inform you of the costs involved once he has looked at your vehicle. Very reasonable prices and very fast service. Competent, fair and kind! read more

I have been going to Karim in KDS for the last eleven years. He is the best car mechanic there is. He is patient and detailed. He explains to his clients the issue with the car and the options available for them. He is always reasonable with his prices and does an excellent job every time. I recommend him wholeheartedly. read more

Brent and K are wonderful! Great customer service, great quality work, and they always go above and beyond!

Great guys. End of story. I'm from New Jersey I was in the area for work when my van started making a really bad knocking noise. I stopped here at 530pm expecting the worst but, KDS saved the day. Two nuts had come off my tire and had I driven home the tire probably would've came off on the highway! Not only did they figure out what was wrong right away, they also waited for the parts till nearly 7pm just so I could get home! Amazing service amazing guys and amazing price. I may start driving from jersey to KDS even for an oil change. read more

I have been going to KDS for a few years now, and Karim has always been kind, helpful and fair, tough things to find in a mechanic. Before a road trip, I was having issues getting car seats aligned because the headrests in my backseat were stuck. I drove over to KDS, and Karim came out, helped me (turned out to be a manufacturer issue), and when I asked him how much, he told me my kids safety came first, no charge. You won't find a better place to service your cars! read more

The Toyota dealer told us repairing our minivan, automatic door would be 3K and they couldn't get the door unstuck, so they would just replace the whole thing. My husband googled how to get it open. He got the door opened, but then it was stuck in the open position. We called KDS and got an appointment. $600 later, we have a completely fixed, working, automatic door! This is where we will go for all our repairs from now on! read more

I would like to let everyone know about KDS Automotive in Valley Forge, PA. My story started when I needed an oil change and wanted to get the job done during my lunch break. I did a Google search and KDS Automotive appeared in my search results. It was nearby my office and had a good Google User rating. I called up KDS and the Karim the owner answered the phone. He was friendly, had good prices, and quickly scheduled an appointment for me. While waiting for the job to complete, a mechanic started to drive my car from where it was parked to one of the open garage bays. As he backed up the car, another customer did not see him backing up and drove her SUV directly behind my car. The mechanic immediately braked my car but could not stop in time and bumped into her car. The SUV did not have any damage and my car only had a few small dings in the bumper. I spoke to Karim and he told me he would fix it. I told him my car was old and had several other dings in the bumper and suggested that I would be OK if the mechanic would use my touch up paint to cover minor paint damage. Karim asked if I was sure and I told him fixing the minor damage with touch up paint would work for me. I dropped of my car this past week and gave Karim the touch up paint. He told me he would take care of it and call me when it was fixed. When I returned to pick up my car, I immediately noticed the entire rear bumper was repaired and looked as good as new. Karim told me he decided to get the job done right and took my car to an auto body repair shop to have bumper repaired. This was the best customer service experience I've had by far - not only was Karim friendly but he went out of his way to fix my issue. I have never been treated so fairly by an Auto Repair business and will not forget his great customer service. Thank you Karim - you definitely made my week. read more

I'm always suspicious about a new mechanic. I got a bad break job somewhere else and decided to take my car here for convenience because it's close to where I live. This is the best place I've ever taken a car. I couldn't recommend it more. They are honest and I've never had a repeat problem. I've been coming here for about two years now and I have a somewhat older car, so I come in occasionally. My car is always done right, quickly and any and all problems are well explained. read more

KDS services our two cars. Always provide great service at a good cost. Best of all, they are trustworthy and priced fairly. Couldn't recommend them more highly. read more

After an unfortunate encounter with a speed bump in the Valley Forge Park, I came back to my car and saw the engine oil leaking out. The Park Rangers directed me to KDS Automotive close by. I arrived just as they were closing up shop for the day. My worst fear was not of the auto repair but of getting ripped off by an unscrupulous mechanic in unfamiliar territory. Not only did Karim know immediately that I had punctured the oil pan but his shop was immaculate and he was kind and helpful in my moment of distress. He called me first thing the next morning to confirm his diagnosis and my car was ready by mid afternoon. He took pictures to show me the completed repair and showed me the damaged parts. Thank you for your caring and expertise. read more

No one better that the K-Man to get your car fixed. I have been going to him for over 10 years and have known him for much longer. He is honest, hard working, and fair. He will stop what he is doing to see what it is that is wrong with your car. If he can, he will fix it on the spot. I have never had this kind of great experience with anyone in the auto business. I take 2 high end cars there way before I would ever take to a new car dealer. K-Man is the best!!! read more

Highly recommended. They are very good about communicating, so I never have to call and ask when they will be done. The prices are fair and transparent. They do the job quickly and thoroughly. They are friendly and courteous. I trust them. I moved far away from my previous trusted mechanic about a year ago, and am so relieved to have found KDS. read more

K-Man is the best mechanic around, kind, honest, timely. If he cant fix it- he will tell you, not goof it up!

The K Man is honest and reasonable. I've been taking my cars there for several years - Suburban, new VW beetle, Prius, Rav4.... doesn't matter what kind, he's timely and will maintain your car for FAR less than a dealer. K Man is the best! Craig and Donna read more

This truly is as good as automotive mechanics can be......I drive 35+miles to have my FORD SUV inspected and maintained by Karim Mostafa aka K-MAN. Why, when I live in Philadelphia surrounded by automotive shops, you say? TRUST, HONESTY & COMPETENCE with any type of vehicle. If there is something that needs to be done, you can take to the bank IT NEEDS TO BE DONE, I had my last mechanic for 16 years until he gave up his shop. I am going on my third year with KDS AUTOMOTIVE and its owner K-MAN.. WHEN IN DOUBT ABOUT WHERE TO GO FOR REPAIRS OR INSPECTIONS, KDS IS THE PLACE !!! Take that to the bank. read more

They did a great job fixing my SUV. Honest, at a fair price.

The staff at KDS is knowledgeable, courteous and honest. My family has been taking our vehicles to K for years. We recommend KDS to all our friends. read more

You cannot find a more honest mechanic. I brought my car in the night before my appointment and the next day I had my car by 1 pm. The owner is an honest hard worker who really knows his stuff and won't overcharge. I may have to drive 30 minutes to get there but I will never go to another mechanic as long as I live in the area. read more

5 stars just isn't saying enough. K is one of the most genuinely honest, forthcoming, competent and personable people I've met in any industry. He's taken care of me for over ten years. I send my family to him because I know he'll take care of them the way I would. KDS is an absolute 'must'! read more

Best place out there. This is a mechanic you can really trust. I've gotten my car inspected and work done here for the past 6 years, and they've always been helpful and honest. Dropped my car off for inspection the night before, they called me at 10 am to let me know it was done. I even had windshield wipers sitting in my back seat that I had intended on putting on myself, and they did it for me. As the other review said, I'll go out of my way to go there and avoids the dealers. Highly recommended. read more
