I just picked up my car from this place. They were all very professional. My car was in and out very quickly I’m very grateful for the service. I Recommend. They even provided a ride for me to get home from the shop without my car. I’m very grateful
They replaced the touch screen for the radio controls in my husband’s truck. Excellent service and very fair prices. Thank you Brian!
We had to use a towing service to tow my Jeep yesterday and my insurance company told us to use Kendall Automotive which was closer to us!I tell you what Bob And Joey are absolutely amazing had a new battery installed in about thirty minutes and out the door!Dont hesitate to use this business so amazing!
My postal delivery vehicle had pooped out and I struggled to limp it over there at opening time, however a tow was needed and finally got it there at 10:00 am. I explained I needed it asap as the mail route is my livelihood. They got on it and quickly had an estimate for an alternator and a battery...I approved it and it was done by 3:00 pm. Big thanks to the crew there and they are my go to from now on.
Delivered our vehicle ahead of schedule and in better condition than we expected. Highly recommend and won’t use anyone else but these fine folks! A++++
Ok I went back to this place after they charged over $80 for a estimate to give them a chance to make things right.. sad to say they stood by their decision that I needed a $1600 plus a/c compressor, they stated it was leaking. Took car to a highly recommended ASC service center they tested and put dye in the system, did not detect any leaks. A week later air is still ice cold... I can NOT recommend this place. Sad because they have been in our community a long time. Again I CANNOT recommend this place.
Wow! Highly skilled, yet personable staff who keep you informed about each step of their work. Plus, reasonable prices. I recommend this business, especially to people like me who are leery of getting ripped off because we are auto illiterates. Definitely two thumbs up. 👍👍
Had a bad vibration in my steering at high speeds. They made sure I didn’t have any issues with any steering or suspension issues.
Very professional Automotive Center that wants to make sure your satisfied when you leave. Work was fast and very well done. Definitely found my go to shop! It is the best place I have been too for car repairs.
Quick service, not the friendliness to deal with inside.
I stumbled across this gem when I purchased my home in West Melbourne. I used to take my Volvo S80 to the dealership a few miles down US 192 for all services, but realized I was spending way too much one day after I pulled into Kendall with a slow leak in my tire. The friendly tech came out, checked it, plugged the tire, filled it, and checked/filled the other three. It blew my mind how inexpensive it was. All with a smile. I knew I’d found a new home for my cars, even the expensive ones.Last Christmas, I hit a curb on the side wall of my 2016 Genesis. Done. Not a chance for repair. I called Hyundai, and they quoted over $300 to replace it. I called my guys at Kendall, and I was out the door for $247.39. Same exact tire.My husband is a road warrior, traveling 125 miles round trip each day for work. Recently, his Cadillac SRX needed an oil change, wiper blades and a Freon charge. I brought it in around noon with the full understanding it would be there all afternoon. It was done within less than 2 1/2 hours. Bob initially joked that it seriously needed a wash, and it really did. When I picked it up, in addition to a very reasonable price for all the requested work AND a free tire rotation, we received a coupon for a free car wash. What a nice touch.This is the only place my husband and I will trust to take care of our cars, unless something is under warranty. The work is professionally done, reasonably priced, and we are truly treated like family. That’s a super nice bonus!What more can I say, other than that Kendall is locally owned and operated, and that means it’s our kind of place. Bob is grouchy only so often, but he makes up for it with his witty jokes and expressions.Bob, Jeff, Brian and the Kendall crew, we love you!
Great place to have work done on your vehicle. Comparable prices. Very informative on things that need to be done on your vehicle. 👍
Had a bit of a ghost problem. Unfortunately the first repair did not fix the problem. Returned a few months later thinking they would not fix the problem but they did after fully explaining the situation and only charged for parts which to me was fair enough considering the issue was not obvious at first.
Purchased four tires and had an alignment done. The service was great and pricing was very competitive. Bob went above and beyond on getting me a good deal. Thank you to the guys at Kendalls auto. I will be doing business in the future.
Quality work with rare mechanics that actually know how to troubleshoot and not just replace parts
Great service, quick, understood and listened to what I was asking and had my truck out and fixed that day.
They seemed very knowledgeable and I felt confident that my car was in good hands. I would definitely use them again and recommend them as well.
Repaired my F350 and did a great job. Thank You Gentlemen !
I broke down in Melbourne, on my way home to Orlando. Justin Kendall gave me an outrageous quote and proceeded to lie about how the job needed to be done. Had I broken down near home, I wouldve been able to purchase the part for less than $60 and easily do it myself. I just hope that he was trying to rip me off because I was from out of town and not because Im a woman.
Great full service auto mechanics. Competitive pricing and trustworthy. Have gotten diagnosis and estimates from other chain places, and then had Kendall verify and price. They found true problem and showed me. Id have spent money to fix the wrong thing at the chain store. They dont push for long list of everything you might need (sooner or later). They tell you what must be done, what can wait, etc. Appreciate knowing this business.
I’ve had mixed experiences of service, some good but the most recent not good. Made an appointment for a service, brought vehicle in and took day off work to do so, called in the late afternoon to see when I could pick it up and they hadn’t even started on it. I am now out of a day’s pay and still have to get the work done now with another shop. I don’t appreciate being told when I made the appointment to bring it in and that it would be taken care of no problem just to find out that it wasn’t and wasted my entire day.
Thank you gentlemen for your professionalism and your assistance with my customer who wanted to inspect the vehicle outside of the dealership and it got a good report so thank you so much and I look forward to bringing you my vehicles
Emergency tire rotation! Thanks so much!!
Excellent fast service. One of the men ln the office is a little abrupt! Cant remember his name, but Im sure you know who he is.
Friendly and efficient! 😁
I stopped in after work because one of my front shocks stripped out the threads on the bottom control arm that bolts them on, leaving it dangling by the the top bolt and making for a very bouncy ride. The tech explained to me that the proper way to fix this was to replace the lower control arms but recommended i dont because that would cost more than my car was worth. I was impressed that the big repair bill wasnt shoved down my throat but instead being given two alternate routes to achieve a safe repair for $125. I came in w/out an appointment and i was out of there in less than an hour. That kind of honesty is few and far between in the auto repair industry and i would definitely think of Kendalls first next time i need a repair.
Rated #1 for customer service, efficient work and friendliness.
This is a family run auto repair shop. They will not cheat you, they will tell you exactly what is wrong with your vehicle and repair what is Needed. Nothing more and nothing less. They have been in business for too long to ruin their reputation by overcharging someone. If you want someone to keep your vehicle running in tip top shape, go in and ask to speak to Jeff or any other staff member and they will treat you in a courteous, polite, manner! Plus even give you a donut!
I liked working with Brian to inspect the car I ended up purchasing. He was thorough during the inspection. I liked his flexibility, allowing me to bring in the car at my convenience. I went to Kendall Automotive because of the many good reviews, and because of their convenient location. I highly recommend this shop.
They completed my repair in a most efficient manner. They called me back with a diagnosis of the problem promptly. My invoice states exactly the part the vehicle needed and the brand they installed. I could even use my CFNA credit card at this location. Ill be bringing my car back for all additional service.
I was on a trip to the keys and I had a trailer bearing and hub fail. I brought it to Kendall and they jumped right on it and completely repaired it and checked the entire trailer over to be sure that I would have no further issues.They were honest and truly cared about getting us back on the road safely!I highly recommend them to everyone. Thank you for your excellent customer service!
Started off my Monday with a low tire pressure indicator, and was concerned about driving my car. I only had an hour of lunch and decided to give this place a try since its located close to my work and the reviews were good. The guys at Kendall looked at my car right away, confirmed that it was a nail, patched it up, and I was able to make it back to work on time. It was nice that they didnt charge me just to look at it. Thank you for your service! I Will definitely use you guys again.
Theyre so honest and helpful. My only problem with them is they are very busy. They still greet you with a smile. So glad I found them
Long time satisfied customer, friendly family staff but there is one guy there at the front desk that should be sent to the back room somewhere to measure tire treads, he is usually behind the middle terminal. Does not seem that he likes his job, very little customer engagement, otherwise this would be a more inviting shop. They are in the high end of pricing but have earned my trust.
Fast and great service.
Best customer service in Melbourne!
My late husband trusted no-one else to fix his prized Mustang Bullitt. He worked in the motor industry and knew all about cars. When my husband died 2 weeks ago, I had his baby towed to Kendall’s for an oil change, new tyres and whatever else it needed. They were so kind and courteous....said the flat battery was on warranty and so that didn’t cost a dime. The tyres I got a fabulous price that couldn’t have been beaten even by Discount Tyres. I’m trusting them with getting it ship-shape and ‘Bristol fashion’ so I can send it to the UK as a 50th Birthday gift for my son and at my late husband’s request.Thank you Kendall’s Bob and Bryan.
Owner and others at the shop have gone out of their way to help find difficult parts vs directing me to do so. My husband and I find their customer service much better than at dealerships. They strive to have a relationship with customers and give sound and practical advice. They are AAA approved and highly rated by others who appreciate honesty and follow-up the way we do! keep up the good work!
These guys are absolutely great. I was referred to them by a coworker and have never been let down. They let you know what is going on, how much it will cost, which are always reasonable prices in my opinion, and they explain how it will affect your vehicle if you dont make the repair at that time. They are honest mechanics with a vast knowledge and amazing customer service. I have gone to them for my oil changes and had transmission work, alternator, battery, etc. and I trust their workmanship. I have never felt taken advantage of by them from being a woman or at all for being a person for that matter. I recommend Kendall to everyone because they are what you should look for in a car service.
The guys here are absolutely wonderful! They know their stuff, and they get you in & out at a reasonable price too. Never spend too much, and they always take care of their customers personally, even with a thank you letter in the mail for choosing them for all your car needs!
It can be difficult to find a reliable automobile repair business, but I am glad to say Kendall Automotive hit it out of the park! A fair and honest shop, they identified areas of concern with my Honda FIT and made the necessary repairs. Kudos to Brian and the team of this outstanding business!
Was highly recommended this place and so far have been very disappointed in the service! Was told my repair would be completed between 4-6pm today. Didnt receive a phone call or any update for awhile so I went to check on the repair before the shop closed at 5:30. Arrived at the shop around 5:20pm, to find the mechanic that helped me earlier locking the doors early and getting into a truck with another guy. As i and my mother in law tried to wave and get their attention, they made eye contact and nodded in our direction as they drove away. I have now called 3 times trying to figure out whats happening with my car and have been told that the mechanic has received the notification and all i can do is await his callback. We have been stranded without a car now with no contact from the shop. Im not happy at all with the way this shop handles its business. So far very horrible customer service.Do not recommend dealing with this place!EDIT: Had to wait until the morning to hear from anyone. Was told Id be called when they opened, after awhile I had to call myself after they had been open for over 40 mins. The main manager Bob was completely disrespectful to me on the phone. Completely spoke over me as I tried to explain my grievances and the horrible service Id received thus far. He was very aggressive and non responsive to me. He basically said itll be done when its done and wouldnt give me more than that. Tried talking to his manager, and he expressed that he is the highest manager there which is rather unfortunate for them since Bob has no customer service skills. Still have zero idea when my car will be done. This is the absolute worse experience I have ever had with a mechanic and will be making sure that no one I know ever uses this company again.
Honest, Trustworthy Mechanics.Have been Bringing my Personal and Work truck there for Years. You Get what you pay for...Quality and peace of Mind !
Came in under quote. Car runs great and got me through my road trip! I would come back if I still lived in the area!
I have been taking my vehicle to Kendall Automotive for years. As a working woman, it is important to me to be able to trust the people I drop my truck off with. I trust they will repair what is necessary and not take advantage of my lack of knowledge when it comes to mechanics!
Kendall Automotive works on all of our trucks for the business and they are awesome! They are always quick and professional. We trust them to make necessary repairs to get our trucks back on the road as quickly as possible!
After taking my car to the Dodge dealership in Naples and receiving horrible service and they didnt even repair my car, it broke down while in Melbourne and I made it to Kendall. They were closing but knew I needed to get back to Naples so they all stayed late to repair my car on a Saturday, even going to 2 different stores to get parts. They went way above and beyond and were the nicest guys. I wish every repair center was as great as Kendall. The best auto repair service I have ever had. Thank you Bob, Jeff, Josh, Matthew and Lane!
I have been a customer with Kendall for 15 years and wish they would have taken a different position on my recent repair. They replaced a seal on a part that was the wrong part to begin with. Their tech did not detect that the aisle on my vehicle was the wrong aisle. I was charged the repair and it continued to leak excessively (the bushing was bad and there was damage as they informed me). I took it to another shop down the road and it took the tech one glance to realize the seal/repair from Kendall was ineffective due to the aisle being a 4X4 aisle and not the 2x4 aisle my car calls for. Regardless if there was bushing damage, I would have preferred to get referred to someone that would stop the leak, and not be charged for parts and labor with no results. I was shown the old bushing from the repair shop that found the issue, and there is no seal that would have stopped the leak with the bushing play. I asked Kendall to do something for the seal repair, and they have told me to credit or refund. Their repair never would have stopped the leak, its hard to pay for a repair twice.
I took my Jeep Grand Cherokee there for the standard oil change. They found the water pump was making noise and had a lot of play in the pulley. They didnt have to say anything to me and just did the oil change and rotate the tires. I am glad they did as I make weekly drives to Miami. I would have hated to have it fail on one of those trips! Great people and excellent service as always!
All of the guys at Kendall are awesome. They have taken care of my vehicles since I was 16, tires, repairs, parts, they do it all and professionally! Highly recommend.
Always great honest service! Explain repairs needed in detail before they start service. I find that very helpful! Kendall Automotive is definitely my Go to repair shop for all my auto maintenance!
We were traveling to Florida Institute of Technology to drop off a trailer load of furniture at my sons apartment and had a blow out on the trailer. We called Kendalls Auto Repair and they had our exact tire in stock. They quickly got our blown tire replaced and got us back on the road. Thanks to Edward and his crew!
I highly recommend this place. Honest, hard working people. They took great care of my truck. Im so happy with the way I was treated and how the work turned out.
Great auto shop. The staff was fast and efficient. I was given a reasonable time frame for fixing my car and they had the repairs done ahead of time. I highly recommend this business.
Had an absolutely horrible experience here. Had AAA tow my truck in because of engine problems, and this was their recommended shop in my area. They never checked the engine, and instead wanted to charge me 1800$ for a completely nonexistent radiator leak, and to replace practically the entire front end of my vehicle. I took it to another place nearby called Economy Muffler, who found that the issue was simply a loose vacuum hose that cost me 75$ to replace. Now my truck runs perfectly fine no thanks to these people.
Its good to leave the auto garage feeling like you got just what you needed and nothing more and nothing less. Got to love a family-owned business.
I went in to do an inspection for a car I wanted to purchase. While on their waiting list I decided to skip it because it looked great and I had developed a high degree of trust in the seller. The Kendall Automotive staff saved me from my foolish decision. They insisted on taking a quick look in the parking lot before I left and discovered a major brake fluid leak. It took 5 minutes but saved me a major headache, and maybe even my life. They wouldnt take my money. They did that out of kindness. Amazing people
I had a screw in my tire and tried to get it fixed the day before Thanksgiving. My normal shop had a 2 1/2hour wait, the other local shops wanted to schedule an appointment not to mention price gauge me (since it was a huge travel day).Not Kendall Automotive! They told me to bring it right over! They immediately plugged it, charged me $15 and I was on my way.Highly recommend Kendall Automotive- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m so thankful to have found this shop. Got my front AND back brakes done for the same price tire kingdom quoted me for just the front ones! They even came and gave me a ride back to the shop so that I didn’t have to walk in the rain.
Kendall Automotive Center offers honest and professional service that exceeds customer satisfaction. I ran over a nail and got a flat tire. Soon after putting on my full sized spare the brake squeaked so I brought it to Kendalls to check it out.I drove extra miles to receive their expert, honest, and friendly service. There was a wait, as they were busy, so they provided a ride to my chosen destination. They are wonderful to drop you off at work or home so you can go about doing other things.When I arrived Brian adeptly entered my info into the computer in just a few minutes. Bob the Manager was at the next work station and immediately offered to have me driven to where I needed to go. I think part of this is he minimizes occupants in the lobby due to social distancing concerns. In any case, I was out of there and on my way home in just minutes. Plus they installed plexiglass partitions in their lobby which displays their consideration to safety.I was fortunate to have Sandy drive me as she is very pleasant, plays enjoyable music and is very honest. She spotted a wallet in the back seat left there by the last person driven home and she immediately called it in to the office. She expressed her concern about how that person must be looking for it. I am positive that she handled that with the up-most integrity and was very impressed by her honesty. Plus she stopped her normal bookkeeping tasks to drive me home, was extremely nice about it and I appreciate that very much.Sandy stopped her bookkeeping work again and picked me up hours later. She was still very pleasant and professional considering I interrupted her work again.Brian gave me the news about my brakes. They had two experts drive my car and looked at my brakes and did not find anything wrong except for maybe some dirt. Plus they inflated my tires to the appropriate pressure. My bill was $0 because they did not find anything wrong. Even though Bob the Manager was quiet while I was given my $0 balance bill, I know he was the one who approved it. He is so honest and kind to approve the report that nothing was wrong with my brakes.I did not see the owner this time, but he is usually around there somewhere, ready to help and is super nice and honest too.Thank you Sandy, Brian and Bob for the fantastic service. My brakes no longer squeak, so maybe they got the dirt out of the spare that I put on. I drive with confidence again and am absolutely positive that my brakes are good. This is all due to the excellent Kendall Automotive Center team. Thank you very much for your tremendous service. I will be sure to recommend your company to all that I meet that needs automotive service. Please feel free to add my endorsement to any promotional materials you have in the future.Caroline
Very thankful for Kendalls help in helping me make a decision on which used car to buy. My family has used them for years to maintain and service our cars and trucks. I recently took two used cars there to be inspected. Because of their knowledgeable information and experience, I didnt have to rely on guess work or the sellers word and was able to make an informed decision and offer. Thank you Bob, Pete, Jason and the whole gang.
Jim asked me to write about how dependable the service is here. He recommends Kendall to all our friends even though we risk having to wait longer due to increased popularity.
I had an emergency flat tire. I pulled In and Jason helped me right away. Put my spare on. He was so friendly and helpful. Love this place. Thank you so muchLaurie WhobreyMelbourne Village
Bad experience. Lies and string along repair tactic . I wouldnt recommend visiting this joke of a repair shop. If they dont get lucky, YOU are screwed, and your vehicle is still broke.
Ive taken my last three vehicles here, an old truck and two old cars. They have helped me get every mile of life that I could get out of them. When you drive the cars that I drive, I am trusting them with my life.
The team at Kendall was very nice and they completed my repairs the same day I took it for a diagnosis. The prices were fair and the work was done well.
Very high quality service and customer care by extremely competent and experienced employees. Honest family run business. I would highly recommend them. They do a job right the first time.
Family owned and ran. Very helpful and accommodating. Been a satisfied customer since I broke down across the street at 711. They spotted me and my friend trying to push my car up into 711 but couldnt. They came over with their tow truck and brought my car, my Friend and myself over to their garage for free. Gave us doughnuts coffee and water whilst I waited for them to drive me home.They also picked me back up from my house in another city ALL FOR FREE. Ive been a customer for 18 years now. I just picked my car up today. Theyll let you make payments if youre a regular customer for the more expensive work. Highly recommended.
Best automotive service center I have ever been to. Very honest and caring.
Always good service.
If youre after getting your car fixed, go here. No nonsense, get it done right.
We brought our car in, and they listened to the symptoms I told them of that I had experienced with it. When they diagnosed it they called us first to let us know what they needed to do, gave us the estimate, and did not proceed until they got our approval. They fixed it within the same afternoon.They were friendly on the phone and also in person. We were greeted with smiles and treated professionally. This is the 4th time we have used Kendall in the past 2 years and it has always been a great experience.
Just moved ito town and needed AC work, they got me in right away and treated me like family!!! I will be a customer for life!
This guys are so professional and considerate I showed up a little late due to traffic and still made sure I was taking g care off no question ask, because other place will just ask me to reschedule but they didn’t mind and took care of me, will def recommend this place for oil change or other automotive needs...
We send all our work trucks over to Kendall and they always do a great job. No matter what needs to be done, I am confident that it will be done right and in a timely manner! I would recommend them to family, friends and anyone else who needs automotive work done.
Best Automative Place! I have been going here since I was a little girl and will not go anywhere else. Kendall Automative has been keeping me safe since my first car and with any future car I’ve thought about or have bought. I trust them 100% and they always have the customers best interest. Family environment and treat you like family. Also, they always have a fresh batch of Love Bugs doughnuts ready to eat:). Thank you guys for keeping me safe!
We drove here from sarasota and our car started shaking. We decided to stop and have it looked at. They got us in right away and advised us the tire was falling apart from a pot hole we hit. They got us in right away and replaced our tire in no time at all. Less than 30 minutes later we were paid and leaving. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I wish they were in sarasota. Great service great prices. Thank you Kendall automotive
Best place around for all Your automotive needs!!!
If youre a woman dont take your car here. They couldnt figure out exactly what was wrong with my engine. They only told me that I needed a new engine and that Id have to pay $2,000.00 to get it fixed. When they told me this I told them that before I had it towed to them I noticed a bad amount of leakage coming from the engine, the person over the phone immediately got defensive and told me that it didnt matter if it had a leak, I either needed to buy the new engine or they will scrap it if I dont take it away.I went to pick it up and they charged me $48.97 just to LOOK AT IT.And on top of that when I finally brought my car home and opened up my hood, they left a HUGE piece that is supposed to be attached to the bottom of the engine on top of the engine. They did not put it back like they should have (especially if I had to pay $48.97 for services)Take your car to a trusted auto mechanic.
Excellent and honest mechanics! We have two vehicles being repaired at the same time and have never been more satisfied. They take the time to explain the problem, describe solutions, and listen to us as customers. Thank you!
I have always been happy with all the work they have done
An honest family business mechanic who does good work. If something needs fixed, its where I take it.
Everytime Ive used, very pleasant and helpful
Customer service #1!!!
Great experience every time with this place. It means a lot to me to have a place I can go that I trust to send my wife and kiddos to. I was glad to find out they have used tires which has saved us a ton of money.
One of the workers was really rude. I wanted to bring in my jeep for a tune up and the guy made it seem like he didnt want to fix any cars at all that day. Worst service ever!
I came here by chance. My car broke down on the intersection of 192 and Wickham. Fortunately, I was able to turn my car off and turn it back on for long enough to drive into Kendall Automotive, as it happened to be right there. I was very nervous, seeing as Id never heard of this place and didnt know what to expect. The people there were very friendly and assured me that my car was in good hands. They explained to me in full detail what the problem was and my options. I was able to pick up my car the next day and havent experienced a problem since (its been at least 5 or so months).
Very friendly and quick. I like the small business feel
Very pleased with all the work they have done for us. Expert diagnosis and honest prices.
An honest auto repair facility. I wont go anywhere else.
Very fair and reliable even to females
They take care of my work truck very well
Guys are always very friendly and helpful!
First time user of Kendall Automotive and was very pleased with my experience.
Great shop. Use them all the time. Never a problem.
Professional and honest great place
Best car repair service in Melbourne....My car alarm went bad and car would not start...I had them take alarm out and car is fine now...They even picked me up when it was ready...I am not good with wires or finding electrical problems....Car runs better then when I brought it in go figure...Very nice owner...Cars are so hard to figure out these days and hard to work on...I blame the car companys for this..Not the shops that work on them...
Knowledgeable not a rip off
Told me they fixed my tire made it worse. I missed half of days work thanks to them.
Best machanic in Brevard.
