Ken's Auto Service inc

Once upon a time, in the land of eternal winter and construction (Milwaukee), I had a great mechanic. Over the past 3 years, I've been trying to find an equivalent in Denver. I've been to a few places, but I can finally say "I've got a guy for that".

I took my 2004 Jeep Liberty in to Ken's Auto Service. About every 3 years, this thing needs something ridiculous. Like clockwork, November of 2016 gifted me the need for several repairs and 4 new tires. Bracing myself for a financial blow, I answered the phone and was shocked when the quote was about half what I expected. Ken's Auto gave me a car to use and completed work in a few days. When I picked up my Jeep, I was given a detailed list of work completed. Driving the Jeep home was so smooth and... *quiet*. Blissfully quiet.

Two weeks later, something else went wrong. I was waiting for it. I knew it was coming. My car is a dick. "Oh. You think I'm fine now? Think I'm all better? Watch this." The serpentine belt fell off. On Thanksgiving. On the highway. And my car overheated. I had it towed to Ken's. They called as soon as they opened and found my key on the floor. They lent me a car again. Again I received a quote under what I expected, they repaired my Jeep, and it was wonderful.

But wait. This 3-year-repair thing always involves 3 trips to the mechanic. When nothing happened in December, I thought the curse was broken. But then Wednesday, January 4th, it was 10 degrees out. I got in my car to go to work. No heat. Maybe it just needs to run a minute? "No. No heat for you. No heat for the next 4, below freezing days. Lol," said the Jeep, every time I turned it on. I brought it in again, they did repairs, some at no cost, and I have my Jeep back.

I believe I'm done *knock on wood*. Ken's Auto has done remarkable work on my Jeep. Tony, the owner, runs a great shop with a wonderful, friendly, caring crew.

If you want an honest, experienced, high quality mechanic with fair prices, definitely go to Ken's Auto.

To all those who are not as strong as a Marine. Beware !! These guys use strong arm tacktics to sell you work you can't afford or don't want to do. I went there with a radiator leak. They called with a $4,000 estimate to fix everything including my windshield wipers. When I refused to do any work other than what I came in for, the front office manager Ryan Hutt got huffy, then told me he would not fix my $400 radiator problem. So they refused to fix my truck. Once you pay the thousand dollars they are asking for, you might get a good job after the use car salesman does his thing. He stayed on the phone with me for 25 minutes badgering me to get extra work done. My truck is 14 years old. 2002.
