The best group of honest mechanics. Always fair with both the price and expectations. Being new to MA finding a good shop is so hard.

I bring the whole fleet and they take great care of everything that is needed. The prices are always fair and reasonable. Ricky and Eddie are GREAT. I recommend to anyone looking for an honest mechanic. read more

I asked for a basic oil change and they put synthetic oil in my car instead of the standard oil I requested. The price difference was over $40. I asked them why nobody asked me what oil I wanted and they just shrugged it off and said that is what the car required. It was disappointing, especially in the time period we are in. read more

Sam is the best. He is always ready to help you and the prices are excellent. Fast and good price services.

I brought my Mercedes' in for new struts! apron doing the struts they ruined my sunroof! they denied it of course but they left greasy finger prints on the inside liner. they lied to me saying they never touched the sunroof! not even decent enough to fix it! stay away from this place! if I could give zero stars I would! read more

I had occasion to drive all the way from home up to Quincy with my bestie to attend a convention. Maybe an hour north of Philly my little KIA began to emit a hideous rattling grumble. (On the plus side, see my review of We-Lik-It in Pomfret. Just sayin'.) So the morning after our arrival, I found these guys right here on Yelp. Sam and Rich really made me feel so well-cared-for. It was sort of like having my car fixed by uncles or something. You know, if my uncles were surprisingly handsome. They located the aggravating noise in my alternator, advised me that I did not need to replace it, remarking, "that's expensive," and also plugged/patched a hole in my right front tire from a nail lodged in it. In between all this, they also provided me with a ride back to the hotel and a pickup when my car was ready later that very same day. And as if all that weren't enough, the price was way beyond reasonable considering the amazing service. I felt so incredibly lucky to have chosen their garage and I owe that to Yelp! So I guess this review is 5 stars for Ken's and also 5 stars for Yelp. This was such a great day. read more

Okay..... Just left this place 30 mins ago to have my car looked at for a muffler problem. Only went here because it was in walking distance of my house and I read a lot of good reviews except for one. So when I get there a unhappy looking man named Sam looked at me said what u want. Told him my possible issue and he told me give me 5 minutes..... So 15 mins later he comes back. "Oh I'm sorry" and pulls my car in and lifts it up. Shows me my flex pipe that is hanging off like I thought. Tells me the options and calls for prices. Before I go on keep this in mind. I'm NOT driving a luxury car. I'm driving a old 2001 Nissan Altima. I have had a 97 altima before and had a muffler system put in for around $200..... So Sam comes back and shows me the price and I thought he was joking. Runs down the list and says $500!?! GTFOH! Told him I've had the work done way cheaper in Brockton before! Told him no and asked if I owed him anything for looking at the car? And because of his accent I thought he said $50. So I chuckled and he said "Is there a problem?" With an attitude. After I left I called the place I used before in Brockton and they gave me a price of $240. So I don't recommend Kens Automotive at all. But maybe it's just Sam that was the problem. Didn't see a Richard there. (Update 10/18) Took my car to a past muffler place I been to years ago. Charged only $170. Car runs great! read more

I've been coming here for years, and have never left having felt ripped off or unsatisfied. Rich is probably the most honest mechanic I have ever encountered, and always does a fantastic job. He goes out of his way every time to make sure my car is in tip top shape, and doesn't charge me an arm and a leg. I would definitely recommend going here! read more

Kens Automotive is great. Rich is a super nice and honest guy, and his prices are definitely fair. I was recently in connecticut on my way home to quincy and was having some problems with my car. I called rich a few times to help walk me through what might be wrong and what I should do...he was very nice and patient with me, and even called back after I got everything fixed to make sure that I got back on the road ok. I definitely recommend going to Kens if you need your car fixed...even if you have to drive a little while to get there, these guys are worth it! read more

Richie is awesome and honest. His service is impeccable. There is not much else to say except I am extremely happy to know a great mechanic.

I love these guys Rich and Sammy. I get any service on my car over there since I work in Batterymarch park which is right around the corner. They have been professional and courteous and friendly always remembering my name and what I do even though I only come in once every 3-5 months. They even let me borrow one of their cars to go to work in until they finished my car since I didn't have anyone to pick me up and have offered to drop me off at my office several times as well. Definitely a place to get a tune up or an oil change for a great price. read more

Being female I have always had to be careful dealing with mechanics. I just moved to Quincy and didn't have a mechanic around to do my brakes, which really needed attention. I tried Ken's Automotive after reading the yelp reviews. I couldn't be more happy with the service and price. He even knocked off a few dollars when cleaning my rear tires. Professional, honest, polite, and above all REASONABLE. Don't be afraid to go as a female! read more

I have used Ken's auto when I was in a bind. The night before work, I got a flat tire. My tire was fixed there. Another time, he also picked up a needed repair for my car to pass inspection. Prior I had paid a chain automotive place to look for problems before the car was inspected, they failed to detect the problem. He does great work and he is very knowledgeable about inspection stickers! read more

I bought my car from an auction. I didn't know it had problems until I left the auction. I live in Quincy! So, naturally I looked up "mechanics near me" after I stopped freaking out about potentially buying a lemon. Ken's was beyond helpful and honest with me. I left them feeling like I won the battle. I will def. go back for future work! Thanks Kens!!!! read more

didn't want to look at a problem i had because "it sounds like a headache". yeah... that's why i'm here. no way i'd go back or recommend them read more

I always thought "honest mechanic" was an oxymoron. Not anymore. These guys took good care of my vehicle for a reasonable price.

My car failed the emission inspection so I brought it here, recommended by a place that was closing shop. The problem was fairly simple and didn't require much work, so he didn't charge me for it! How great is that? Maybe just a ploy to hook me for the future, but if so it definitely worked! read more

I should start by saying that I don't live anywhere near Ken's. I live out in Framingham, but I had the misfortune of being on 95 South when my car started to overheat. Slightly panicked, I pulled off the highway and into Ken's Automotive. I was immediately helped by Sam, who took his time and got out the little diagnostic thing to tell me what was wrong. He didn't charge me for this or even mention payment. He found my fan wasn't working and while I might have made it home if there wasn't traffic, I wasn't going far. It turned out cheaper to have the work done there than to tow it back to my neighborhood, so I let them do the repair. He and all the folks down at Ken's were kind and accommodating while I waited for my ride, an hour and a half I haunted their door. Sam called me with updates and was appalled at how much VW was charging for the part that I needed. The work was done within a few days and he made sure that he tested it out before handing it back. He urged me to get my brakes fixed too, but wasn't doing a hard sell. I just felt taken care of. I can't say that I'll be back, it's not really convenient, but if you are lucky enough to live close to Ken's, they ROCK! read more

Rich at Ken's Automotive has always been awesome. Definitely an honest and fair mechanic. Sadly, I went to find Rich this year for some car trouble and he's no longer on School St. Anyone here know where his new location might be? read more

Jimmy has been my mechanic for about 4 years now. Before him I tried auto repair and auto repair. I was trying to find someone that is highly educated, with reasonable prices, and most of all somebody that can be real and honest with me. Finding a mechanic you can fully trust is hard to find. But Jimmy's that dude. Even when he wasn't the lowst price when I needed to replace my engine. He still educated me as always and let me know what to look out for. He lets me know what doesn't need fixing right now and what I should get done and why. Or he gives me a time frame. Either some advice on used car choices tor dealing with the car dealer. Jimmy got the inside details for me. And he doesn't owe me anything. He just does it. I send all my friends to him and he takes care of them as do me. Why send your car to the dealer to be repaired when that's where he comes from. And will do your car at a fraction of the price. Some stuff he done for me I don't really want to say in this review. And this before he really knows me. Awesome guy, that go above and beyond. I took my car in this week for some front end and muffler issues. It's crazy how the car feels like new now. But I'm not surprise. Thanks read more

I went to this place twice, first when my car showed up check engine light and since I wasn't really familiar with how the stuff works with the cars, I was totally dependent on the mechanic..However I contacted a couple of workshops and since most of them weren't available I decided to go to Ken's.. Richard is a very honest and a very great mechanic, he reset my car's computer and "phhoofff" the check engine light went away! he said the problem was just that my car was running on 3 cylinders earlier and since he reset the car's computer and the light went away, I am all set and didn't charge me a penny! Well then again after a few days my car popped up the engine check light, I thought of going to the mechanic nearby since ken's is little far from the place I live and to my surprise the mechanic (Wu automotive in Weymouth) there told me he would charge $20 just to reset my car's computer...I thought of ken's right then and drove there..it's worth driving some extra miles to go to an honest mechanic than to be fooled and charged more! After resetting my cars computer my car's light went away but this time it showed some other problem... Richard told me that there is some minor problem that can wait until my next car inspection and again "he didn't charge me"! I haven't seen such an honest man, I highly recommend this workshop to everyone! My experience with him was great and I will surely return to him if I have any problems with my car again : ) read more
