I went to Kings Automotive for an oil change. Jackie( the owner) accommodated me and let me bring my own oil( I'm picky about that kind of stuff). He did the job quickly while I waited( finished in 10 min) Went in just for that, but ended up discussing other work that my car needed. I needed the work done before a road trip and again Jackie did his best to accommodate me. He installed new engine mounts and a torque damper for me. Got it done quickly and the job was flawless. HIs prices are very very fair. Not once did I feel like I was being ripped off or taken advantage of The next day I heard a noise and I didnt want to take the car on the trip like that. Jackie again let me come in and checked everything over( it turned out to be something else not related to his repair). He is very professional and courteous. He will explain everything to you in detail. He is so honest he will even tell you if something is not even worth fixing because it doesn't pose any risks. If you are a car guy like me, this is the place to take your car. Jackie makes you feel comfortable and treats your car like its his own. He is very careful and meticulous when it comes to his work. I was never worried when I left my car(and Im a person who always worry when I leave my car somewhere) Ive already brought my family to him and he extended the same quality of service that I got. Planning to do more work with him. Will recommend others as well. Great place. I highly recommend it.
Update:This is my second visit to Jackie(owner) who I asked to run diagnostic on my car. He accommodated me because I had to leave on a road trip. Took a look at my car and gave me recommendations. Then my brother lost his alternator on a Friday. I asked Jackie if he could help him and fixed my brothers car on a Sunday so that my brother could be back on the road by Monday. Ive said it before and Ill say it again. Looking for a good, honest, and extremely accommodating mechanic, then you have found it. Very fair with price and always trying to save you money. Will never up sell you. He deserves five stars and then some. I never write reviews, but this shop...
Read moreThis is a shop for every car enthusiast who cares about what is done to their cars and values quality over quick service. I brought my M3 to Jackie’s shop for a valve adjustment and ended up adding on a brake upgrades and bulletproofing the vanos system. I knew my car would be in good hands and taken care of since I first met Jackie and could instantly tell he cares about the cars as well as the work being done. Even after experiencing a headache and multiple problems with a third party, Jackie helped to overcome the issues and still able to have the job done right even when others messed up. When I picked up my car after everything was done I couldn’t have been happier. The car ran great and continues to and I enjoy every drive with it. After I had already picked up the car I had reached out to Jackie about an issue with my DRL’s not staying on and he took my car in promptly and fixed the wiring issue (which probably happened from my foot knocking something loose under the drivers footwell. This was a job that had nothing to do with what he had done and yet he still took care of the issue. It’s very difficult nowadays to find people that care about the work they do and the service they provide, but there’s no doubt that Jackie does value his customers and is out there to help service other car enthusiasts’ cars with the professionalism and attention to detail that anyone would expect from a quality job. I will definitely be bringing any vehicle I have for any future services to Jackie and continue to enjoy piece of mind knowing the work...
