Costs higher, quality of service lower. The new owner lacks the communication skills required to run a business. Be careful, he will do unneeded work on your car without asking and then charge you for it. Happy retirement Kevin - you are missed. read more

Their work is better than most, but their prices are higher. An oil change will run over $100.00.

Been coming here for a few years now for inspection, oil change and any repairs my car needs. The owner Kevin is so friendly and they don't overcharge for their service. It's hard to find a honest mechanic. Will get the work done and if something takes longer he will let me know how long and what to expect which I appreciate the transparency. Definitely a place I keep going back to when needed. read more

K's Auto - Kevin - veteran and owner of K's Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Mineola, New York

Kevin at Kay's auto is honest and friendly and the work they do is excellent. They are extremely dependable and a great value.

I've been going to K's for about 10 years now. Not once have I had a bad experience bringing my car here. My dad now brings his car to K's as well. Kevin is extremely personable and genuine. The rates are comparable. I also love & respect that they give back to the community. Definitely bring your car to K's. You won't be disappointed. read more

I had to get my car inspected for new insurance policy. Kevin instructed me to open all the windows and leave the keys in the car. A short while later, he told me he wiped down the seat and steering wheel (COVID) and I was good to go. read more

Been coming here for 30 years and won't go anywhere else. All my cars have been kept in top condition by Kevin.

K's auto Is the best ! I'm local to the neighborhood and these men simply are the best they go out of their way over and beyond and I must add that they are Extremely Kind finally an honest mechanic read more

If you are looking for a great mechanic that you can actually trust, Kevin of K's Auto is the real deal--look no further.

I came in for a quick photo inspection for my insurance. Though I was only here for a few minutes I can genuinely tell this man is a kindhearted person who does his best to keep his customers and employees happy around him and even gives back to the community by supporting local baseball teams. Seems like a great guy to me! read more

Kevin is the owner and he is absolutely amazing. Genuine, knowledgeable, funny and doesn't try and rip you off. My family has been using his shop for years and I've recommended tons of friends who have thanked me in the end. He has never steered me wrong and was always honest on what was wrong and whether or not it was worth it to fix. Quick service, everyone's pleasant (I've always dealt with one of the other mechanics, Hector, when Kevin wasn't around. He's great and funny too.) They also have a sweet, friendly dog that hangs out with you while you wait. At one point, had a very old car at the time that ended up having a head gasket leak and to repair it would've cost more than the car was worth. Kevin ended up doing something he had done while in the Marines years ago and rigged it so that it would work long enough to get me home. I ended up selling it to a scrap yard and he even helped recommended me the amazing car I'm driving now. read more

I cant even put one star ! K s Auto in Mineola is a rip off .! He looks like a real good mechanic. But the customer service and brash bully tactics towards women are not something you appreciate after spending thousands of dollars on your car . I work very hard for my money and this is just a plain injustice! This man should be tarred and feathered in the public square...How would you like to find he cant fix your car, two weeks.. Yes that's right 2 weeks later and you are in a rental at a daily rate. At your own expense to the tune of 300.00 OH it gets better . He towed my car with out asking my permission. To the dealer and with his tow guy who gave me a really bad bill . Not legible very poorly written etc the coat 175.00! Mineola to Glencove ! guess what my insurance has free road side assistance and I have AAA... I would not have paid a dime if given the chance to use my insurance. Then the dealer whopped me over the head for a thousand dollars because he shorted a wire in my car guess what that's why he couldn't fix it . Then his bill was a thousand dollars.... His bill also very vague and not well written out or explained ... Because he knows he is ripping you off he doesn't want to put anything down to incriminate himself. Shame on him Ladies! one day he worked on the car 4 hours the next 6 hours he never really came clean there either. Folks you get what you pay for! I should have gone to the dealer from the get go. He could not fix the car that the bottom line and I paid for his incompetence dearly ! DONT be Dupped as I was ! Kevin wasted my time. Kevin wasn't honest and he was a plain old bully! I had just been very ill and could not deal with his bad customer service behavior, so I sucked it up and paid. I wish him no luck for when you are dishonest and take advantage of people especially a women especially a women that is sick your really a sick bad person that no words can describe. PLEASE DONT BRING your car her, YOU will only be as sorry as I am. read more

This review is a long time coming. I came to K back in the summer of 2015 with faulty air conditioning in a car that was over 10 yrs old. I picked this repair service partly for proximity and partly based on the rave reviews I saw here. In hindsight, I wish I had just lived with open windows for the next couple months, as I got a new car in Oct. The owner definitely condescends to female customers, with a lot of "yes, dear," type of language which I find mildly irritating, as well as little anecdotes that make him seem to want to come across as being honest. Over the course of a week or two, my car sat in their garage for at least three full days (possibly four - I brought it in more than once over this repair). K told me not once but twice that his suppliers had "sent the wrong part" after my car sat in their garage all day. I have never experienced anything like that in the many years I have been dealing with repair shops. After verbally agreeing to a $600 repair and thinking I was getting a better (and fair) deal, I wound up being charged over $900. If I had known it would cost that much, I would not have agreed to this work. He explained that it was more complicated than first estimated. Since I don't know a whole lot about the intricate workings of my car's air conditioning system, and cannot prove anything, I coughed up the check without much of an argument. At that time I had other things going on and was sick of them - just wanted my car back. Regrettably in the end, I had mediocre air conditioning at best. It was no where near what it was before the problem started. Also irritating was the fact that they changed my rear license plate holder to one K's Auto and their phone number without my consent. I got rid of it, first thing. The last thing I want to do is advertise for them. read more

Great find for me. Mechanics can be a hard breed to trust, but the smart ones know this and do everything they can to make it a priority to gain the trust of customers. K's has done everything and more to gain mine in short order. Kevin is awesome, as are all the other folks I've dealt with in his shop. He's also efficient, fair and communicative. I've had everything from routine tune ups, oil changes to larger break jobs, etc. He makes all the minor inexpensive tweaks along the way and let's me know if he sees something more serious or costly. These guys are pros all around. Love the shop dog too. Highly recommended. read more

I had been at k's auto repair before and had a great experience! My car had its check engine light on and they quickly checked it and gave me honest advice. Two days ago my car started to make some clanking noises, so I thought I could trust k's to take care of it. I called and asked if I could make an appointment and the man on the phone was extremely rude to me. He basically laughed in my face when I asked if I could come in for diagnostics. He told me to come early on the day of the appointment and I told him I had to sit and wait while they checked out my car. I got there at 8:30am, a time that I thought was "early" and the man in the garage said I hope your dropping your car off here because you have 12 others in front of you. Does this man not make appointments? I understand it can be hard especially for diagnostics, but I can't believe that they basically voided an appointment I made days in advance. I won't be returning to K's auto repair and I would advise everyone do the same. read more

I had flooding in my car, about 2" of rain water because of street flooding. Kevin was SO kind, his team removed the water. It would have caused alot of damage, almost all the shops in the area couldnt help. Thank you, Kevin and Team! read more

I brought my car in and explained that the front driver side tire is losing air. I agreed to leave it for the tire repair. The owner calls me back a few hours later to pick up the car. He charged me to replace the valve on the tire as well as an unauthorized tire rotation. Extremely disappointed and find this behavior unethical. I will not be returning. read more

K' s is the standard bearer in auto repair. In the nearly ten year period since a friend told me about Kevin he has always sang his praises . Since that time there has never been any problem with any of my 3 cars that he couldnt fix and the new location, by his own testimony is far better , although I do miss the sandwhich sign outside the old Willis Ave. address! Anyone who meets Kevin will soon learn this is only place you will ever need to bring your cars. read more

I have nothing bad to say about k's auto, great mechanic to bring your car too. It's completely understandable why he's so busy, because its the quality of work you get when you bring your car here. Very honest mechanic and that's what you need when you bring your car in to get fixed. Any car problem you have I would recommend going to k's auto. I've brought my car in for oil changes to check engine lights over the years and problems are resolved and expectations are met while also exceeding them. Thank you k's auto! read more

Great place, friendly owner. Honest and reliable. Have come to this location multiple times during the years.

This is the type of place you want to bring your car if you are looking for honest service at fair pricing. From the first time we brought our car to Kevin, he has been friendly, knowledgeable, accomodating, and the pricing has been good. I feel confident that I wont get ripped off, and when I had to do major work to one of my vehicles he asked me to wait a week this way he could order the part he needed in bulk (2 other customers needed the same work) and saved me over $100. I feel confident bringing my vehicles to K's for any kind of service (foreign or domestic) and most importantly I feel confident recommending Kevin to friends and family. read more

Got a flat tire and was worried I wouldn't make it home safely so I pulled into this repair shop and when I told them my problem they took my car in right away and proceeded to find the problem [ accident debris] and repaired it in no time. Dealt with Kevin who was a pleasant professional guy and was happy with how I was treated. Would without a doubt bring my business back here if need be. read more

Absolutely awesome guy! His knowledge if current car mechanics / electronics is unwavering. They don't make 'em like this guy! Fair! I will drive out from east for a guy like this! read more

Kevin is the best of the best! Honest and straight forward. He isn't the kind of guy that does the work for the money. It seems that he genuinely likes to help people. That is rare so if you have an issue with your car, I recommend going to his shop!!! read more

Kevin is really nice and answers all my stupid questions lol he has a nice vibe and makes you feel comfortable with the service and explains exactly was going on. I came here to fix a few oxygen sensors and also was a clogged drain. He fixes things very quickly and seems to be more honest then most mechanics. And his dog is crazyyyyyy cute lol read more

This place is mad old and COOL! the customer service is awesome and there was a cute depressive dog that was sitting with us in the waiting room ! One of few original places in Mineola read more

I brought my car in for a NYS inspection, insurance inspection, and a routine check-up/oil/ etc. These guys were extremely helpful, FAST, and very polite. Having to deal with cars issues a lot the past year, I was in and out of many auto shops-- so I HIGHLY recommend these guys- they made the experience very pleasant and did great work. I'll be going to them from now on. read more

Great place. Quick service. A full 25% less than I pay in NYC for the same thing. They charged me 652 to do a full 4-wheel brake job, inspection and something else (I can't remember). I will return you should go. They're not going to give you a load of crap and try to deceive you. read more

Great service! Kevin is a great guy and smart mechanic! I didn't have much time and he was so kind to help me withing few minutes.

Honest, efficient, and thorough. As long as I'm on Long Island, Kevin and his team will be my first stop.

Wow!?!?!! This place is huge inside. What a pleasant surprise! I took my car in for an inspection and Kevin (K) was great from the start. He was friendly and very professional. Immediately made me feel comfortable, very accommodating and was willing work around my schedule. I dropped off my car in the morning and the car was ready by the time I came back from work. He also filled up the fluids and checked my tires. I will definitely go back for anything auto related. I just wish I knew about this place earlier. Thank you Kevin! read more

Was not friendly at all when called. He picks up the phone and you can barely hear him say "hold" before he puts the phone down. Was in a rush and impolite. read more

I brought my car in needing brakes and Kevin told me it would be $280 for rotors and front brakes. I called to see if the car was ready the next day and the guy on the phone said oh its ready and I said okay how much is it and he tells me $360. I asked how and he said Kevin isn't here now call back in 20 mins. I call him back and he says well I rotated your tires since I had the wheels off already and there are other things involved like tax. Being an accountant it is difficult for me to accept that explanation when tax should be $24 so I am not sure how he arrived at $360 HOWEVER HE TELLS me it is a competitive price. I don't care what it is he gave me a price one day and increased it by $80. Very dishonest individual that I WOULD NEVER USE AGAIN!!! read more

I went to Kevin for a simple inspection as required by the DMV and picked up my car hours later, and paid almost $100. WHY? Kevin neglected to contact me for any approval/authorization to do additional work. No phone call, no email, nothing. I was on a very tight budget at the time and wanted only the inspection. His recommendations have proven unnecessary and not accurate (rotors not cut properly when brakes done previously), it wasn't time for the oil change, and the bulb he used to replace the "cheap foreign" blub blew out quickly. On top of that, I notice, weeks later, that he removed my own license plate holder and replaced it with HIS ADVERTISEMENT! I like to know what is being done with my car and Kevin takes unauthorized liberties. I am NOT HAPPY and will not return. read more

I driving to work, and saw that the air pressure in one of my tires was low. I stopped at K's Auto as it was on the way to my workplace, ran up to the desk and asked for change so that I could fill the tire. Kevin, the owner, said to just pull up to the garage where the service would be done - for free. The mechanic not only filled the tire but checked the other three. I was impressed by the service and courtesy by K's Auto. read more

Super people. A lot of experience. Had a transmission issue and the car was about to die and the staff was straight forward on what I should do with the car. Didn't haggle me or talk me into a repair that wasn't going to make sense. If you have an issue with your vehicle go to K's! read more

I'll preface this by saying I never completely trust any mechanic but at this point I have no reason to say that K's is not an honest place. After going there only once he seemed to give me a fair price and do solid work. He's certainly a very nice man which is much better than having to deal with some miserable jerk. read more

Not the same K's I was used to. Brought my 2015 GMC with 22,000 miles in for an oil change and an inspection. Was expecting maybe $60. Got a bill for $133 for some BS road rest and tire pressure test (my tire pressure monitors weren't lit) I guess he needed the extra $75. Worst part is when you lose a place you've grown to like and trust read more
