I was towed in in the morning with a seized alternator. They got me in and out in hours! Fast, friendly and professional. Highly recommended for any foreign car owners looking for great service!

My son took his 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD W123 there for a vacuum issue and full inspection. They were meticulous in their care and work on the vehicle. He will be returning to get some of the that needs done taken care of.

Second time using K&M, they knock it out of the park on my car. Communication & end product was second to none. I gladly travel 2 hours one way for their expertise.
