We've taken all of our vehicles to K & B for years, have always had exceptional service and have been treated with the utmost respect. I've even bought 2 brand new cars which came with free 2-yr maintenance service from Toyota, but chose to take them to K & B instead for all of their service. Excellent service, lots of integrity, and always at a very fair price.

Took my car in as it was making a weird noise. Heard mixed reviews around town. They had me pick it up next day and make a new appointment to get it fixed? Their estimate was very high. What disappointed me the most was how they talked about all other honest mechanics. They must be "hacks" if they don't charge $90 an hour. Its like fine art; they charge a lot for it not because they are so great, but so they only have to sell one painting. They charge twice as much, as to do half the work. Which is their right, but I will taking my business elsewhere.

After years of chasing the first available appointment or the lowest cost for car repairs and maintenance, I switched to K&B because they were good fellas and close to home. Am very glad I did. Honest, high quality work that keeps you on the road without the long list of "should do" items that so many places hit you with.

Fantastic to deal with, always get me in as soon as they can and they do fantastic meticulous work. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs work done. Our family takes all our vehicles to them and have never had an issue. When it was time for me to get in my first truck Brett made sure it was safe for a first driver as if it was for his own son. I'll never take my vehicles anywhere else.

I have been a regular customer of K&B Auto since Brett's Mom and Dad started the business many years ago. Having retired a few years ago, I now have a small lawn care business. I also am an avid outdoorsman with ATVs and snowmobile toys. K&B takes care of all my repair and maintenace needs; everything from sleds to ATVs to riding lawnmowers and farm tractor and, of course, mine and my wife's automobiles. I like the personal touch when I'm there and have never had an issue. The quality of this business' service is unmatched in the area.

I am very disappointed with their service. I called and made an appointment to have my car fixed as it was making a faint noise. I was not concerned, and didn't mind waiting 2 WEEKS for my appointment. I called them that day and was told what was needed to be fixed and to come and pick up my car. They had me come and pick up my car to pay $90/hour for the estimate and then make, yet another appointment in 2 WEEKS to have it fixed.

When I expressed my shock, that I wasn't told that I would be paying for an estimate upfront ( which they must legally to)or that my car ( which according to them, was unsafe to drive) wouldn't be done for another 2 weeks, I was showed the door and my appointment was canceled. They also commented that a lot of people never come back, and after one interaction with their manager, I can see why.

Bad experience. They have had their own techs write good reviews about them. They do not tell you how much they will charge you ( and its more than other honest mechanics) and they take 2+ weeks to fix. I made an appointment, brought my car in, they had me pick it up next day, not fixed, but with a $100 charge for looking at it, and the option to make another appointment to get it fixed.

They did not tell me that I would need two appointments and that it would take so long. The staff was very rude and did not care that I was left stranded with out a working car.

We have used them as the garage for our personal and commercial vehicles for many years. A++ service with fair pricing. We recommend them to any of our friends and business associates. We have used K and B auto for many years and have never experienced ANYTHING similar to the negative reviews here, so I can only assume that they are false reviews.
