Keener Auto Repair

I have not used Keener’s in about four years (before my Unilocaling days), but I have referred three of my friends to him… and they tell me he is still doing great work. I like his business enough that I am writing this review… better late than never!
Keener’s Auto Repair is a small shop where Steve (the owner) does a lot of the work himself. Sometimes one forgets how great it is to talk to the guy that actually does the work. No intermediaries to get in the way and screw up the communication. He seems to be very knowledgable, his pricing fair, and I judge him to be dead honest. He solved a couple of tricky fuel problems on my Dodge truck, and did a great job of explaining what the issues were… and what my options were.
Two of the people I sent his way were women. They both told me that they were very happy with his work, and that he treated them fairly and respectfully.

I love Unilocal… If it wasn’t for Unilocal I would have never met Steve at Keener Auto Repair… I took my Honda in yesterday with clutch problems that we have been dealing with for two weeks. I got a really good quote on the phone and figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try a new place. As soon as I walked in I met Steve. He’s a straight up, no nonsense kind of guy. I told him what I thought (was told) was wrong with the clutch and left it there for the night. Got a call around 10am that it was fixed. When we went to pickup the car, we found out it was something else and much cheaper. I was so nervous but excited until I tried it out myself. It drives like a dream now! All I can say is that, this was the BEST experience ever. Steve actually spends time to explain everything that’s going on with the car (diagrams too) and what they fixed. :-)

Super nice owner, quality work, and came in under the quoted estimate. We had to have a clutch replaced on our 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and the work was done in 24 hours. Highly recommended for the Decatur area.

Recently had some car work done here. Keener was able to get it fixed for literally ¹⁄₃ the cost that other nearby stores were estimating, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. The work was done very quickly and throughout the whole process Steve took the time to carefully explain what went wrong, what caused it, and what he did to fix it, all in very easy to understand terms (but without feeling like he was talking down to you). These guys actually know how to repair car problems versus just throwing pricey new parts at it and hoping it works. Highly recommended!

Found this place on Unilocal and it’s been a great experience. Finally found an repair shop that’s up front and honest with it’s customers. Great staff.

I just moved to the area and needed some work done on my explorer. They were quick and responsive. Overall great experience. Very thorough in inspection. They treated me very well, and earned a loyal customer.

I went to Keener because of the reviews on Unilocal when my car (2006 Ford Escape) had a sudden loss of acceleration. I dropped off my car after hours and asked that someone calls me prior to work.
Steve (I think that was his name) called me promptly around 8am the next morning. What I loved was that he gave me three options for repair and asked me how long I planned to keep the car. He explained the problem in regular language, didn’t throw around big intimidating auto words. He told me to think about it and that he’d be around for any questions.
When I came to pick up the car, running late on a Friday afternoon, he took the time to open up the hood, show us the issue and explained more details about the car. He then let us pick his brain about potential used cars to think about, if I decide to trade in.
All in all awesome place, never once felt ripped off or duped. Something not usual for any mechanics that I’ve been too.

Keener is fantastic: Honest.& Straight forward. We take our Mazda sedan & my Tacoma there for maintenance.
Five Stars, boys!

I took my truck to Keener to diagnose a problem I couldn’t figure out. It could have been several things and they found the issue and fixed it, they could have raked me over the coals just in finding the problem, but they didn’t. Their rate was very reasonable and the price they charge for parts was right on for what I saw online after the fact. They also found another issue in the engine they fixed at no charge while they were in there. I’ve never had a mechanic do that.
The only problem is they aren’t open on the weekends, but everyone needs a life I suppose. I don’t know if their webpage communication works, I tried to contact them that way and didn’t hear back, but whenever I called they answered right away.
Night drop is very convenient, I would definitely recommend.

Greatest. Top Notch.

I’ve been taking my car to Keener for the past 3 years, and they do such a great job! They will be honest in telling you what you REALLY need to replace and what can wait — and they aren’t trying to make a quick buck off of you. I recommend this place to all of my friends.
