I have brought cars to Kennedy for over 10 years and I have always had a good experience. They are personable, timely, and work hard to make sure you know exactly what is wrong with your vehicle. They have always given me accurate estimates for costs and their rates are affordable. I highly recommend this shop.

I came in to get an idea about cost and turnover time for a transmission rebuild for a project car of mine. I was told that unless the transmission was in the car they wouldn't look at it. If you are working on a project and need some transmission help, this is definitely not the place. Disappointed to hear that a transmission shop wouldn't help.

I write this review on the same day I pick up my car. I am utterly satisfied so far. So, if my review is still up, Matt deserves all the five stars. I wasted time and money at another shop that could not resolve my issue. I then went to Kennedy, and they fixed my car in two and a half days. Frankly, the labor costs are quite high, but it is worth every cent. They will have my business from now on.

Used them once before many years ago and was happy. Brought them my 2013 Subaru Forester because it was making a whining noise that I was sure was from the transmission and was ready to pay a big bill. Got a call from them mid-day to say they heard the noise but determined it was coming from an idler pulley and not the transmission (a MUCH easier and cheaper fix). I am grateful for their honesty, for treating me with respect, for not talking down to me and for good work.

My transmission was done here last summer and it's still shifting smoothly. They did a great job upfront letting me know how much it was going to cost and how long it would take - then they actually finished it a bit early! I put a couple thousand on it and it's still like a brand new car. I would recommend these guys to anyone who needs transmission work.

Mark and Matt and their team have a grateful customer in me, for as long as I'm in Minneapolis. For a total auto novice like me, it's hard to find a trusted mechanic. The Kennedy team has earned my trust, over the course of several repairs. I've got an oddball Jetta Hybrid, with an even more oddball transmission, which most shops in the area I've contacted have said they won't touch, due to unfamiliarity with it.
But the team at Kennedy has gone to great lengths and done a considerable amount of research to get me back on the road when I've had issues with it, even digging into obscure materials when necessary, beyond the normal documentation provided by Volkswagen. And they've been incredibly generous in doing so, calling it a learning opportunity on their part, rather than something they've passed on to me in billing. They've made sure the repairs are done right, and they've repeatedly followed up with me afterwards to ensure that. I can't recommend them more highly!

This place is fantastic. I receive a high quality experience every time. They only do the work that is necessary, and they do it well and as inexpensively as they can. But they never take shortcuts and are clear when something is a safety issue. Everyone that works there is very respectful and professional AND they have a sense of humor! I've been going for years and have never been disappointed and have witnessed others getting the same treatment.

Went there to get my car's transmission fixed and they were amazing people, welcoming and trustworthy. They stand behind their work and take their times to get things done right. And the warranty on their work is really good, meaning that they work hard and do it right in the first place. Prices are really good and even if they are a bit higher it's worth it to get a job from people who do it right and care for the customer. Went there to also change trans fluid on mother one of my cars. Got it done for $126. If you want a good job done and done right go there. Would recommend!

Always great and friendly service from this shop. Fixed my muffler and tailpipe for a competitive price and my car has been reliable since. Parking can be hard because of the smaller lot. There are restaurants and coffee shops to go to nearby when waiting. Recommended this shop to a lot of my friends!

So glad we decided to go to Kennedy for a diagnostic on our truck. My husband was going to put a new transmission in our truck but we figured we'd get a professional opinion first. The guys at Kennedy quickly diagnosed and fixed our problem, saving us a bunch of money and saving my husband from a day long job. Awesome customer service. Very reasonable price.
They even took the time to show my little boys some transmission pieces when they went with my husband to pick up the truck. I've found my "go to" transmission shop. Thank you to the team at Kennedy who are definitely deserving of the 5 star rating.

AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE! I was having issues with another transmission shop and called up Kennedy Transmission for a second opinion. The guy on the phone (I think his name is Mark) took the time to ease my mind about the bad situation my car was in and gave me GREAT advice. I really appreciate his honesty and definitely recommend their services!

I went in for a transmission fluid check, which they did very very quickly for a last minute appointment. They were very understanding and explained everything to me that they found, they'd also checked on why I was having low fluid to begin with, and gave me estimates as to what those things would cost to fix and a rough time frame in which to do them best and what I should focus on first. The staff was excellent and kind and I'd highly recommend them. I'll be going back
