They do a great Job! highly recommended !!! I've taken 3 different vehicles here, and they do a great job every time,

I wanted to give this business another review and if Yelp gave 6 star reviews, KW Auto Repair would be the 1st one to get it from all the businesses I've reviewed! I have been taking our vehicles to Ken, the owner for close to 10 years, and he's serviced our Hyundai's, Dodge's, and Honda's ever since. We recently had a fuel filter sensor issue which Ken diagnosed and repaired for us. He called all over town to find the part so we could get our vehicle back in service as soon as possible. Our issue involved a fuel pumping issue which would not allow more than a gallon at a time before the auto-shut off at the nozzle would stop even though the tank wasn't full. Well, after fixing the necessary parts to resolve my problem, Ken took our vehicle to the gas pumps and pumped gas into it to make sure I wasn't having the same issue. Who does that these days? An honest mechanic like Ken does! Now I can't vouch and say that this would be the case at all my repairs or maintenance Ken performs but on this particular instance, the parts cost exceeded the labor costs. This NEVER is the case if you look at your mechanic invoices! If you're looking for an honest mechanic and the City Heights/East San Diego area, KW Auto Repair is the only place I think you should take it to! I'm almost reluctant to post such a good Yelp review for Ken as he may be a lot busier than usual if a lot of you start taking your vehicles to him... read more

Took in my car without an appointment to get my brake line fixed, he got the part for it super quick, he even did general maintenance on my car and didn't charge me Super fast turn around time and incredibly friendly and helpful Price overall wasn't bad either- definitely suggest going here read more

My wife and I ride in style. A '99 Escort Wagon to be exact. A few months back we had our alternator go out on us on the highway- ah! We could barely get it home. After about an hour of searching for a close repair shop we took it to KW Auto Repair to have them take a look at it. Now, I'll admit we do live in kind of a ghetto area, but KW is cool. I've read reviews where some people have gotten charged around $3-400 for a new alternator. But Ken (I think that's his name) found a rebuilt one, with a one year warranty on it. The total cost of everything ended up being right at $200. Which was cool because honestly, we probably would've paid more just to have our car back on the road so we could get to work (all the way up in Del Mar). KW Auto Repair won't rip you off. Ken really takes his time to explain things and get you back on the road. And, he's always good for a laugh. read more

The Owner Ken is awesome. He gets the job done right and make sure you are happy with their service. I had dropped by his place ok my lunch break since I needed an oil change and the check engine light was on. He knew I was on a tight work schedule so his wife offered me a ride to work which was really nice of him and said that he will contact me once they are done with the oil change and diagnostic. I drop by the shop after work and gave me the details of the issues and pretty much let me make the decision of what I should do instead of forcing me to fix (there are several out there that have tried doing this to me) I've been to this shop several times but have always forgotten to give him a review. Top notch mechanic and have always been helpful and friendly. read more

This is the most trustworthy mechanic I have. I used to have vans with wheel chair lifts as well as a couple other vehicles. Whenever I had an issue he could help and also had great advise on cars in general. Super dependable. I don't even live near the area anymore but I still go to him because it's hard to find honest mechanics. read more

I drive a 1988 Camry with 428,000 miles on it, and counting. Kenny has been the one keeping it running since about 2010. I'm also in a touring band, and since 2010, Kenny has been primarily responsible for keeping us safe on month-long trips on a 1996 Ford van. No easy task - we beat that thing up! Ask him about the sunflower seeds. Oh, and the rats. The repairs we put that man through... Come here for good work and honest pricing. He's got some awesome stories about growing up in Cambodia, too, if you have the time! read more

Ken has been my mechanic for over 7 years now, and I can say that without a doubt that he is the right man for the job. He is very polite, courteous and professional. Ken will get the job done right the first time and he will do it for a fair price. Bring him your car or truck before you take it anywhere else, you will not be dissapointed! read more

Ken is the most honest mechanic I've ever met & he knows his business!! He does great work at reasonable prices. Ken even takes the time to explain in detail what's going on, gives us our options and doesn't do work that doesn't need to be done. My son and I have been bringing our aging cars here for about a year and we don't plan on going anywhere else!! read more

Stopped by KW Auto Repair after my car would not stop overheating. I suspected I needed a new timing belt and water pump. Ken found out that I did not need this and actually had a blown head gasket! Ken fixed my car 2 weeks before expected. Ken did a total motor repair and my baby is driving like brand new again. My civic has 190,000 miles and thanks to Ken I can expect another 100,000 +. Ken is a very trustworthy and reliable business man who knows his stuff! Thank God I found a mechanic I can trust!! read more

AWESOMENESS! KW is honest and fixes the problem ASAP! Trustworthy and upfront too! Price is excellent! Thank you for fixing our family car for us! Kw has worked on both our 98 and 99 Nissan Altimas he did a great job! Totally recommend KW! read more

Ken has been our mechanic for almost 20 years. in fact, my sons car is in there right now! It is great to know an independent honest mechanic. He has givien us excellent service over the years and only does what needs to be done. So if you need your car worked on..take it to Kens shop. Ken came to this country with nothing. As a refugee from Cambodia- he learned a trade, (mechanics) learned English, and now owns his own busness. He is living the American dream! read more

Ken is not only honest he's very passionate at what he does. My family and and I would never take our viecles any were else. He has kept my 2001 Ford work van going 300000 and it's still going strong. read more

Kenny is a great mechanic, he is very detailed when it comes to working on your car and makes sure that whatever he is doing to your car will actually fix it and last. One time I actually tried to diagnose my own car and brought it to his shop and he showed me exactly what was wrong with it and what my options were whether I wanted to fix it short term or fix it the right way long term, he is a very honest mechanic. read more

Ken is the best mechanic in all of San Diego. I've been to different mechanics but none come close to Ken's service. He cares about your car more than most mechanics would. He is extremely honest when it comes to questions about your car and its repairs. He always looks for the best alternative to fix your car which has saved me a bunch of $$$$. I can ramble on and on about his service but you need to come and check it out. read more

I've been to Kens shop a couple of times now to work on my 3000 GT. I actually took my car to a couple shops to see if they could do anything about my dashboard lights and no one could fix them until I met Ken. There were a few issues which he had trouble trying to fix I remember one time he had my car for 2 days to run tests on and couldn't find a proper solution, he didn't charge me a single penny because he couldn't fix it. Most places would charge you some type of diagnostics fee even if they can't fix the car. He's a very honest mechanic which is why I won't take my car to anyone else now. read more

The thing I appreciate the most about this auto shop is that the mechanic is % honest. Most people will be dishonest in order to gain more profit by fixing unnecessary things, however he's a great mechanic who only works on what you need. I definitely recommend seeing him for your car issues, read more
