Very happy with the work that was done so far. My Jeep has been in and out of so many shops and the issues were never fixed. I was almost ready to sell it even though it has so much sentimental value to me. No mechanic seemed to care to find what was wrong. Well when I picked my vehicle up it drove the best it has in years. Made me feel like I was in high school again and had just bought it. Thank you everyone at Kevin’s Auto Repair. - Ethan S.

I moved from Mississippi several years ago. We have had need of a mechanic a couple of times. If you need a honest and thorough business Kevin's is your place to go. My AC would sporadically work he checked everything but it was all normal. He didn't stop until he found that a relay switch had quit working. Kevin went the extra mile. I have now found my new mechanic. Thanks Kevin and the crew, you are the best! - Marla W. (5 star review on Google)
