Ken’s Auto Repair

I have been a very satisfied customer of Ken’s for over 15 years. Found him through Univ. of Penn employee recommendations when my wife was a grad student and we lived in Center City. We moved to West Chester area over 12 years ago, and whenever I need anything more than an oil change or tire service, I bring ALL of my cars to Ken even if it’s almost an hour drive each way. Ken and his team do top notch work for a price that you cannot beat. They have always been honest, and go the extra mile to get the job done right, on time, and within budget. I trust nobody else with my Toyota minivan, Saab, and my Civic (my she rest in piece). Ken has done all my inspections, replaced gas tank sending unit, changed break rotors and pads, replaced tie rods, installed stainless steel exhaust, replaced O2 sensors, and shocks. You name it, Ken can do it, most likely for less than anyone else. And his work is high quality: repairs only what needs it, and the repairs last. Ken has many long term customers. A good mechanic is hard to find. Ken is a great one!

My father got his car fixed at Ken’s during the 80’s and 90’s, but we stopped going here after we moved out of South Philadelphia. Recently, due to a string of bad mechanics trying to rip us off, we came back and reunited with Ken. I have to say, after 15 years, everything is still the same, and that is a good thing! Service is top-​notch and they always do an honest and affordable job. Ken treats everyone like family and always tries to help his customers to save money without compromising the quality of his work. We live in the suburbs now but make the drive down to Ken’s because of his work ethic and good prices. Come on down and give him a try, you will not be sorry!

Ken is amazing. His work is exceptional, but he is also a very honest and community oriented person. I’ve been going there for six years and have watched him interact with various customers with a level of sincere concern that is rare in this industry. On more than one occasion, I have seen people come in and talk about how he fixed their parents and grandparents car as well. He treats everyone I’ve seen walk in there like family. He is also faaaaaaar cheaper than everywhere else I’ve gone, with no compromise in quality. I am moving out of state in a couple months, and he is one of the elements of Philly I will miss the most.
