Report
Personable, professional and prompt service. Brought in my Subaru for a pre-roadtrip safety inspection. Called ahead for availability. Kuno's observed that the car was generally running fine, but had a really old battery: so I got that changed for a reasonable price on the spot. They also observed that the dipstick was broken (which I hadn't): which is good evidence of their attention to detail. Will be back next time I need the car serviced.

Knowledgeable, friendly, did not try to manufacture new work out of nowhere and overcharge, and answered my extensive questions. It was my first time but I got a good feeling from them and I will be taking my cars there from now on.

I've been bringing my Honda Civic to Kuno's for service for 16 years, and it runs like the day I bought it. They are always up front about costs, and never once have they run up the bill with anything unnecessary. I always drive away happy.

I've taken both my Honda Accord and Mazda 5 here - Ray has done all of the repairs right the first time and has tons of knowledge about each car.

They have good prices and have done good jobs servicing our Subaru Forester and Honda Odyssey. Started going to them because they got great ratings for price and quality from Consumers Checkbook.
