These guys are so honest and knowledgeable! My gas cap failed emission inspection and then a code was produced (my check engine light was on). I bought a new gas cap and headed over to Keener's. Steve installed my gas cap, reset the code thingie and told me how far to drive and how fast and the light should reset if that was all it was. THAT WAS IT! Steve didn't charge me for his time. INCREDIBLE SERVICE ON TOP OF JUST BEING A HELL OF A NICE GUY!!! read more

Honest mechanics! Dropped off my 2003 Honda CRV today after hearing a screeching sound whenever my car was in idle. I called right when they opened and they were able to take me in right away! I received a phone call a little over and hour later from the mechanic informing me that I had an issue with my belt. The mechanic said the belt was structurally intact and looked new but was responsible for the sound. He said he sprayed it with WD 40 which eliminated the sound but informed me it would come back eventually. He told me I could replace the belt to eliminate the sound permanently or I could pass on replacing the belt as it was still functioning properly and brand new. Definitely a mechanic I will be back to visit as I know they are not trying to stick me with random charges for parts I don't need. read more

See all

Ladies listen up! You are safe at Keener Auto Repair! They will not over charge or try to trick you into extra services. I called yesterday explained my issue. Steve was very pleasant, proposed a solution and offered to check the price of the part and give me a call back. He called back in less than 10 min with a fair quote. I already knew how much the part ran for and I was soooo happy he didn't try to over charge. I dropped my car off this morning, got a call two hours or so later to come pick it up. He explained what he did, I paid and he sent me on my way. Smooth and pleasant transaction. I have tried several shops in the area and none compare to the service I received at Kenner. I plan to leave the area soon but will travel to Steve for my Nissan needs. Also the guy who welcomed me this morning, Jim was efficient and nice. read more

Just had a radiator replaced and these guys did an amazing job! They were quick, courteous and good value. Time was taken to find the problem and repairs were well explained! My new service center for automotive needs! read more

Always great service and for a woman they are trustworthy and reliable. Honest and willing to help you

This is my go to mechanic. Steve never tries to over sell anything and he is efficient and honest. His name is his business.

We've used Keener Auto for the past 5 years. Truthfully speaking, it's a major relief having an honest, fair, and flexible mechanic who won't recommend a job unless it's actually necessary. Plus, they charge less and do more per job from our experience. Highly recommended. They service our 2011 Chevy Traverse and will service our future vehicles. read more

Steve has been wonderful! We recently moved to the area and started having car trouble and a few friends suggested Keener's. When I called him up to discuss what was going on, he was polite, understanding and he explained everything thoroughly. He even gave us several options to fix the issues with different pricing points. After we dropped off the car, they were quick to get the work done and call us to come pick it up. I will definitely be using Keener's while I'm in the area and suggesting it to anyone who needs honest car work done! read more

I have not used Keener's in about four years (before my Yelping days), but I have referred three of my friends to him...and they tell me he is still doing great work. I like his business enough that I am writing this review...better late than never! Keener's Auto Repair is a small shop where Steve (the owner) does a lot of the work himself. Sometimes one forgets how great it is to talk to the guy that actually does the work. No intermediaries to get in the way and screw up the communication. He seems to be very knowledgable, his pricing fair, and I judge him to be dead honest. He solved a couple of tricky fuel problems on my Dodge truck, and did a great job of explaining what the issues were...and what my options were. Two of the people I sent his way were women. They both said that they were very happy with his work, and that he treated them fairly and respectfully. read more

I went to Keener because of the reviews on yelp when my car (2006 Ford Escape) had a sudden loss of acceleration. I dropped off my car after hours and asked that someone calls me prior to work. Steve (I think that was his name) called me promptly around 8am the next morning. What I loved was that he gave me three options for repair and asked me how long I planned to keep the car. He explained the problem in regular language, didn't throw around big intimidating auto words. He told me to think about it and that he'd be around for any questions. When I came to pick up the car, running late on a Friday afternoon, he took the time to open up the hood, show us the issue and explained more details about the car. He then let us pick his brain about potential used cars to think about, if I decide to trade in. All in all awesome place, never once felt ripped off or duped. Something not usual for any mechanics that I've been too. read more

Steve has been servicing and repairing my vehicles for the past eight years or so and he and his staff have provided absolutely excellent service every time. Steve's integrity is evident from the moment you meet him, and he will walk you through any complicated issues that may come up with your vehicle. He'll give you his opinion, and he'll give you options if they're available. His skill as a mechanic is also top-notch and his eye for upcoming service issues have kept my vehicles very easy and affordable to maintain. Turn-around time is quick, I usually drop off in the morning and get it back that day. Steve's the best, all the positive reviews are dead-on. read more

Keener is fantastic: Honest.& Straight forward. We take our Mazda sedan & my Tacoma there for maintenance. Five Stars, boys! Stacie Monroe, Decatur GA read more

My wife and I have been going to Keener for over a decade, as have many of our friends. Having a competent and trustworthy mechanic is right up there with a good dentist, plumber, etc. These guys will go out of their way to help you in any way they can - we even called Steve over Christmas when checking the mechanical integrity of a new car we were considering purchasing. (He checked it out and declared it a steal, which it was.) I trust these guys explicitly. Can't recommend them more... read more

We've used Steve for years now and once again, we got honest and thorough service on our Ranger. Knowledgeable, honest, and never replaces what doesn't need to be replaced- what more can you ask for? Steve is the BOMB!! Thanks!! read more

We've been using Steve Keener for our Ford Rangers for about a decade. He took care of our 99 Ranger until it died and now he takes care of our 05 Ranger. He's always been thorough about what needs to be done and he always gives us a prioritized list so we can map out what services we'll need over the year. He's an honest mechanic and he won't BS you. The shop is small, so you'll usually need to leave the vehicle overnight, but he does good work and we highly recommend him for modern OR vintage cars. read more

I love yelp.... If it wasn't for yelp I would have never met Steve at Keener Auto Repair... I took my Honda in yesterday with clutch problems that we have been dealing with for two weeks. I got a really good quote on the phone and figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to try a new place. As soon as I walked in I met Steve. He's a straight up, no nonsense kind of guy. I told him what I thought (was told) was wrong with the clutch and left it there for the night.. Got a call around 10am that it was fixed. When we went to pickup the car, we found out it was something else and much cheaper. I was so nervous but excited until I tried it out myself. It drives like a dream now! All I can say is that, this was the BEST experience ever. Steve actually spends time to explain everything that's going on with the car (diagrams too) and what they fixed. :-) read more

I've been taking my car to Keener for the past 3 years, and they do such a great job! They will be honest in telling you what you REALLY need to replace and what can wait - and they aren't trying to make a quick buck off of you. I recommend this place to all of my friends. read more

I took my truck to Keener to diagnose a problem I couldn't figure out. It could have been several things and they found the issue and fixed it, they could have raked me over the coals just in finding the problem, but they didn't. Their rate was very reasonable and the price they charge for parts was right on for what I saw online after the fact. They also found another issue in the engine they fixed at no charge while they were in there. I've never had a mechanic do that. The only problem is they aren't open on the weekends, but everyone needs a life I suppose. I don't know if their webpage communication works, I tried to contact them that way and didn't hear back, but whenever I called they answered right away. Night drop is very convenient, I would definitely recommend. read more

They did two axles, battery cables, an oil change, and spark plugs for less than pep boys wanted to do just one axle. More important they did a good job and fast. Anytime I need anything in the future I'm going there. read more

I called to get a price quote on a headlight bulb replacement and the guy on the phone was like "really" before I could even mention what type of car I had and the the bumper has to come off for the replacement. His sarcasm and attitude was a complete turnoff and I will never take my business there. read more

Awesome experience. Super friendly and straight up honest advice. Looks like I found my local mechanic in Decatur.

Great service and great pricing. I went to AAA on LaVista for bushing repair they were extremely expensive. Kenner did it for a great price and fantastic service....please ues Kenner!!! Thanks guys!!! read more

I just moved to the area and needed some work done on my explorer. They were quick and responsive. Overall great experience. Very thorough in inspection. They treated me very well, and earned a loyal customer. read more

Recently had some car work done here. Keener was able to get it fixed for literally 1/3 the cost that other nearby stores were estimating, and I couldn't be happier with the service. The work was done very quickly and throughout the whole process Steve took the time to carefully explain what went wrong, what caused it, and what he did to fix it, all in very easy to understand terms (but without feeling like he was talking down to you). These guys actually know how to repair car problems versus just throwing pricey new parts at it and hoping it works. Highly recommended! read more

Steve Keener is the rare auto mechanic who is knowledgeable, honest, and straightforward. He'll give you the best solution for whatever problem your car is having - whether he can fix it or not. When I've had repairs done, they've been fast and very affordable. read more
