Kenny's Auto Repair 1108 Martin Luther King Avenue West, Bradenton, FL 34205

"DON'T bring your car here for major engine repairs, like others have said. I used this shop anytime I needed something and it was always great. It's been on a super decline after he lost all his good people and hiring these young kids who know nothing. I was told my knocking noise was my timing chain, I asked if he was sure and they said absolutely. So they changed it, I get my car back and it's making the same noise but louder. I took videos and he's claiming it was quiet which it wasn't. I take it back 2 days later and now he's telling me I have a motor issue and need a new one. So either he lied to me about the work done, or they knew my motor was on its way out and got some money out of me first. He went into hanging up on me and not listening and walking away when I'm talking and told me "Go get an attorney then" This place has turned into a shady money grab like most others. Real professional Kenny. This place has went into the gutter."

"WARNING PLEASE do not go to this man's shop for any major repairs..He will sweet talk you out your money. Please read!....I had an unfortunate situation where there was a hole in upper oil pan/engine block on my 2012 Toyota corolla S. I was referred to his shop by a friend of my mom's who said she had some work done by him years ago and said he did good work. So, I had my car towed to his shop. I understand shops get busy but my car sat there for a little over a week before he looked at it to give me an estimate. The estimate he gave me was $2195 which was a few hundred dollars cheaper from another quote I got of $2600 from a different repair shop. I already knew that the repair would be extensive because it involved removing the engine. Paid this man in full to start the repairs ($2195). It took another week to repair my car. I dont think they really knew what they were doing. They called me during the repair process and said they needed another part and charged me an additional $175. So, at this point I have now paid $2,370. They had my car for Three weeks. I go to pick up my car and they tell me I have a radiator leak and tried to give me an estimate on repairs. The radiator was not leaking when the car went into the shop. Also, you had my car for THREE WEEKS and you didn't notice the radiator was supposedly leaking only after putting the engine back into my car. I looked under my hood and spotted within the first 30 seconds the broken piece of radiator and hose which I whole heartedly believe his mechanic named Alex broke while trying to reinstall the engine. I mentioned this to Kenny and he denied it saying his mechanic would not do that. I understand mistakes happen but to blatantly lie to me as if it's something I did is totally disrespectful and unprofessional. This situation is disheartening because I still have to make car payments on this vehicle and now I have to get my radiator replaced after spending all that money at his shop. To be that money hungry is a shame. Believe the bad reviews and trust your gut, do not go to this man's shop. I pray karma comes quick, fast and in a hurry for Kenny and the rest of the people that work there."

"You can trust this shop in the neighborhood! They have very competitive prices, and great service. Done a few jobs there for great price. Midas gave me 600$ quote for "bad bearing", so I took it to Kenny's for second opinion and Alex at shop find out that the bearing was good and just a few bolts were loose that they tightened up for me and saved me from the crooks. Definitely would recommend this shop!"

"Everyone was very nice. They had great customer service straight from the start and had the best pricing by far. I called over 7 places and they honestly was still the cheapest. Glad they were available on the weekend for our AC repair. Also was very thorough when explaining our vehicle problem. I really appreciated the time they took out to make sure we received extra care. I've already recommended their service to more family members and will definitely go back if needed for future problems."
