Purchased a battery from another shop 6 months earlier because the Jeep would barely start. Wasn’t driving much during the coronavirus quarantine and had to jump the Jeep to get started many times. Took it back to the original shop. They said they checked out the alternator, recharged the battery and sent me on my way. Still very sluggish starts then nothing. Went to Reddit for local recommendations. Kevin’s was recommended. Made an appointment, had it towed in and BAM! It’s like a new Jeep. Replaced the starter. Reasonable prices, great service. I’m only going there in the future. - Curt B. (5 star review on Google)

Bought an Altima and the check engine light came on less than 24 hours after driving it off the lot. I was devastated, my magic magnifying mind went to the worse case scenario. I have mistrust for mechanics. The gentleman I bought the car from suggested I not go to the Nissan dealer, but take it to Kevin’s Garage. I’m new to HSV and just took a leap of faith and my experience has been fantastic. The receptionists Sally and Regena are so kind and helped calm my spun up nerves and Kevin personally called me to let me know what was going on with my car before going forward with the repair. I had to have the front and rear sensors replaced and the price was reasonable. I think I have found my go to place for my car repairs in Huntsville. Very satisfied - Trenton M.
