These guys are awesome! I have been hunting for a good mechanic in this area. I read several posts on Facebook that had tons of people recommending Kevin's so I decided to give them a shot. Upon entering their very clean waiting room, I was quickly greeted by a friendly lady who checked me in. I worked for a while in the waiting room while they assessed my car (they had a desk in the waiting room which was awesome!). The gentleman (I think it was Kevin?) who came to tell me what was wrong with my car was friendly and explained things where I could understand without being condescending. They had my car fixed faster than the estimate and for cheaper than I was expecting. They just did an oil changed and fixed my brakes, but I swear my car is running better somehow. I'm not sure what they did, but it's accelerating easier and idling more quietly. While I was waiting, I could overhear them talking in their office area. You can tell this group has a family atmosphere. It felt like being back in the small town mechanic shop where I grew up. I will most definitely be back and will tell everyone I know to go there as well!
