KX Auto,

2429 Washington Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19146, United States

"I can’t say enough great things about this place - I won’t take my car anywhere else! Costs are always reasonable and I’ve never had them try to upsell me on anything I didn’t need. I really appreciate that they will take the time to explain the work they’ve done, and most recently gave me tips for maintenance. Best to try to make an appointment in advance, as I do find sometimes they can be booked (but I love that for them)! Friendly, honest place, and I definitely recommend."

"These guys deserve an award. I called them around 5pm after discovering a flat tire. I didn't imagine anyone would be able to help on such short notice, let alone right away. They had it fixed within an hour for $27. KX was my go-to mechanic for over 5 years, but when I moved a little further away I had switched to someplace slightly closer to where I live now. After my experience tonight, I can't really imagine going anywhere else for my car needs."

"As a woman, I felt the need to put a review & I'll tell you why. First, let me make it clear, KX Auto is my only auto shop. I personally will take my car there & feel comfortable. This is for the women who are looking for an auto shop. I've been going to KX since 2018 or 2019, I can't remember. These guys have solid work ethic & provide quality service to my car. They've seen both mine & my husband's car & provide fair pricing. They're the only people I trust with our car now because they've helped me troubleshoot my oil issue & they're the only ones that know what to do. Since then, I'm stuck- love this auto shop. They're thorough, explain everything to me, they'll take pictures & send it to me to show me the issue, they've given me time to make a decision if it's a big fix, I'll even do my research & try to figure out what I'm saying & what I find is that they're honest too & if I have any questions they don't make me feel dumb because I'm a woman-- I've gone to places that have made me feel pretty uncomfortable. They have seen me move through life as a single to married woman. Despite me having my husband, if I dropped off the car they'll call me & provide updates/inquire what I want to do next. I don't know about you, but I want that. I feel respected in this small way that they treat me. I don't feel sterotyped or made out to be not as competent with my car. They'll communicate with me as they do with him. Super professional & I hope they never leave the Philadelphia area or be forced out of business. Parking can be hard because they're located on Washington Ave. There's construction & a new apartment is coming in so I don't know how that'll impact accessibility to them. But, I'm going to keep coming. This is the only auto shop I’d recommend & given other reviews, that means they get booked up & busy. So, if you need something serviced, regularly like an oil change or inspection, I’d schedule it out in advance. If you’re in a bind, they’ll try to work it out & help you. My only concern is that I dont know when these guys go on vacation. Honest concern because I want this auto shop around for a long time. If they scheduled a 2 week vacation I wouldn't be mad & just schedule my services before or after. This is how an auto shop should be. I should've written this years ago!!"

"After 3+ years of trying to get multiple mechanics to actually fix my 2008 Civic’s AC rather than just pumping it with coolant, I finally found these guys. The mechanics at KX Auto listened to me and heard my theories about the issue. I thought there was a leak because the coolant always ran out after about 2 weeks of it being filled up. Other mechanics always fought me on this theory and refilled the coolant/recharged the AC anyway, but not the professionals at KX Auto! The mechanics here took the time to figure out the root cause and fix the problem - it ended up being a leak in the compressor. Not only that - they also explained in detail what the issue was, what tests they had run to diagnose it, how they were going to fix it, etc. After replacing the compressor, they ran an additional test to ensure that the leak was fixed. Super respectful and trustworthy mechanics run this place. Every time I blast my car’s AC in the summer heat, I thank them!!"

"Excellent service. Scheduled an appointment for oil change and inspection. Took less than an hour and was very cheap. Highly recommend."
