Replaced my distributer on my 98’ civic but I couldn’t properly tune it. Mr. Kim did it in less that 10 minutes and helped diagnose a number of other issues for an incredibly fair price. Kind man, excellent mechanic. 10/10 recommend.Services: General repairs & maintenance

I have used him for several years. Amazing and very honest mechanic, I would highly recommend his work to anyone and everyone I know. Highly knowledgeable and very humble man.

Genuinely kindhearted and affordable quality work! 2018 Ford F150 work truck was making rly weird sounds with the brakes and sometimes even when not braking. Took it in to the nearest body repair shop and they kept calling to add new repairs and replacements (including the air filter, of course) and in the end tried charging $1,400 for just the leaking strut in front and damaged shock needing replacements. Before moving forward, we wanted to get a second opinion and my mom used to come here all the time, so we tried it! Gave Kim's Auto a call and right away, it was already a different experience. He was very kind, asked specific questions and literally kept us posted throughout the repair process, texting photos and providing options of what we want done. In the end, the replacements/repairs was almost half of the original estimate the other shop gave and they did a perfect job - work truck been through hell but felt good as new leaving the lot!Thank you so much for your time and care and mostly, your honesty! We will def be coming back for all of our car needs : )5 stars from me!

Came in today late before closing and asked Mr Kim if can fix my AC, and said he can work with me till close. He did diagnostics to see what was going on, said there's air mixed in with the Freon. Released the air and recharged the Freon. His service is the best I've ever had, very honest and knows what they're doing. Highly recommend!

I personally like this auto shop as well as smog check.The owner, Mr. KIM knows well to repair the cars and does the smog test too.I got there on Sat for engin oil change, I had to wait for 2 hours until lunch time. But they are less busier during weekdays.I did the smog test many times in the past, he is the best mechnic for repair and smog test.ProsService: so friendly, english korean bi lingual.Location: easy to find on GG blvd.Price: reasonable My hubby and I like Mr. KIM.He has lots of skills and makes us comfortable.Recommend not to go there for the service on Sat. You will be long-term customers just like me.Great place!!!

Traumatised experience!Yelling at the customer who just saw and not knowing well ! Angry and screaming to the customer all of sudden who just asked that " please look my car first since I got here ahead of the other.He yelled at me that " go somewhere if you cannot wait, I have enough customers".What kind of customer service he does. LOL...My chest was hurt and heart is still pounding.I am going to see My doctor to get treat for the anxiey from the traumatic experience.Yes.. I went earlier than the other people. Mr. KIM, You don't even know what you did wrong.

An auto shop that I can trust! My parents have been coming here for a while now. Mr. Kim is an honest and hard working man and I'm thankful for this autoshop. Lexus dealership told me that I needed to change out my brake pad immediately. So I went to check with Kim's auto to see if that's true. Apparently I still have well over 6 months to use the brake pad before changing it out :)

Been coming here for years and just realized that I've never wrote them a review! The owner is super honest and the cheapest but the wait time can get long. He has so many repeat customers and no matter what day you go in, expect to Uber somewhere and kill time. Be sure to give him your phone number in case he needs to reach you for anything. There is a small waiting room but I strongly recommend going elsewhere and asking him to give you a call back once the car is done. This is a Korean owned business and there may be a language barrier if you don't speak it. I don't trust any other place and being female, it's important to find the right business that won't try to scam you.

Very busy place. Owner does business in the old fashion way yet he does it effectively in his own way. Some customers don't like his style but I like him. I like him mainly because he is honest.

DO NOT COME HERE!!! Just like all the other reviews said. The owner is rude and a real j**** We came here because my mom's car unexpectedly broke down and this was the nearest place. While we had her car there we asked for an oil change and when I asked what kind of oil he was using (because her car required fully synthetic) he showed me some brand I never heard of. When I asked if he could use mobile one he got angry and asked me to never come back to his shop, which I will gladly oblige. I can't believe with that kind of service he is still even in business.

Mr. Kim is honest and does great work. He uses OEM Toyota parts. Very good value. I would recommend Kim's Auto for all your car repairs
