Kent Brothers have been my trusted Subaru Mechanics for seven years. So, when the tire shop said my brakes needed $1,700 in repairs, I brought the car to Kent for a second opinion. Somehow, despite having more than twice the expertise of the tire shop crew, Kent Brothers did the work for less than half the price. Thank you Kent Brothers !!
I had been living in southern AZ for several years and came back to Missoula in the middle of winter. I took my beloved 2001 LL Bean Outback to Kent Bros right away to check the radiator and anti-freeze, which they did for me at no charge. A week later I made an appointment for a diagnostic and am bringing it back for the services they recommended. This is without a doubt the most excellent Subaru shop Ive ever encountered. My car has190K miles on it now and I hope they will keep it in shape for another 100K at least!
From beginning to end, working with Kent Bros was a fantastic experience. Lindsey was the mechanic who worked with my vehicle and she did a great job. I knew something was up with the brakes and took the car to Les Schwabb to get an estimate, and they lied about the amount of work my car needed and were going to charge my more than double what I paid at Kent Bros. Ill be sticking with this business and would absolutely recommend it.
I cant say enough good things about the Kent Brothers Automotive. They always find time to at least fit you in to fill you in with what needs to be done. They NEVER overcharge. I wish they would work on my dodge too lol.
Hands down best mechanic shop I’ve ever done business with. Honesty and quality every single time.
They are reliable and follow up with the customer about the work that was completed. They price their work out fairly and I go there whenever I need work done on my subaru.
If you have a Subaru, take it here. I honestly cant say enough about how honest these folks are. They saved me so much money.
Friendly, quick, reliable, affordable - what else could one want?
Very personable staff with a high level of knowledge!
Best subaru shop in town. Experienced crew that can handle a motor rebuild, axel repair, and any scheduled maintenance. They do it all!
Honest, fair, quick, local!It can take some tome to get into their shop, but they will treat you like family every time. I have only praise and good vibes from my many experiences with their shop!
I do not have enough good things to say about this shop. I brought my old beater outback there for simply a diagnosis, and they found the issue and corrected it for an extremely fair price well under the quote I was given. Additionally, time was spent to discuss what the actual issue was and how they fixed it. They also let me know some other issues with the car and explained to me how long I could go before fixing the issue. I would 100% go back if I need any more work and will recommend them to anyone I know that has a Subaru.
I just want to commend these guys & gals. At 282,000 miles theyve made my Subaru Impreza more safe & reliable than ever. Also, they understand the nature of my work and were able & willing to help me get back on the road as quickly as possible!
I had heard great things about Kent Bros, and thought Id take in my much-loved 02 Outback with concerns about a lack of power as well as a suspected worn wheel bearing. This was my first experience at this shop and Ill definitely be back next time I need maintenance!They took the time to drive the vehicle and take a close look, and Eddie gave an honest assessment over the phone that everything was normal/expected given the age and mileage on the car, but recommended a wheel bearing replacement. I had also mentioned that I was taking the car out on a trip to WA at the end of the month and the technicians at Kent Bros. did a full trip check as well as a requested oil/filter change. The total bill came out under what was quoted on the phone and now I feel much more confident about taking my beloved Subie on future adventures. Great friendly local service with techs that clearly know and love their Subarus. Thanks, Kent Brothers!
Really great mechanics here. I cant imagine theres anything about your Subaru they havent seen. We went for a pretty major engine replacement. Going strong a year later. Now were going here for regular maintenance. Competitive prices without trying to upsell you on unnecessary stuff.
This is the place to go for Subaru repairs. Theyre up-front about costs, they treat you really well, all around awesome. Lindsay (I think thats her name) showed me exactly what the problem was and showed me how they fix it. I never get that kind of attention when I go into other stores. It was much appreciated.
The place to go if you own a Subaru. Honest awesome people who do excellent work. I know that my car is getting what it needs and I can rest easy knowing they did it right.
I took my beloved 02 Subaru Outback to Kent Brothers with what i thought was a rough idle after trying to fix it myself and paying another mechanic elsewhere who failed to even diagnose the problem. Kent Brothers took time and used their extensive experience with these vehicles to diagnose the issue as slop in off brand aftermarket front axles i had recently installed (somewhere else). The individual i spoke with took the time to thoroughly explain everything to me (yes, i ask a lot of questions). They charged me nothing, even after i said i thought it was more than reasonable to charge me something for their time, use of equipment and expertise. I also appreciated they didnt try and over sell me stuff i didnt really need on a vehicle of this age. Thank you, i will definitely be a repeat customer.
Diagnosed my problem with my 2001 Subaru and didnt charge me for it!! Awesome place to go for automotive problems. Will go back to them for any kind of service!! 👍
Ive taken more than one Subaru to Kent Brothers over the decades and they are ALWAYS friendly, professional, skilled, honest, affordable and easy to work with. I really appreciate that they tell me which repairs they recommend and which ones I might delay or opt out of in order to save some money. They are the best!
I do a lot of my own vehicle maintenance. Ive heard a lot of great things about Kent Brothers when it comes to Subarus. I have an 84 Subaru 4wd that needed rear drum brake shoes. Ive discovered that installing drum brake springs tests my will to live. So, I was more than happy to pay for the maintenance on them. They went above and beyond for my brakes, and an untimely tire puncture. (They dont do tire repairs in house, fyi). I highly recommend them for any vehicle maintenance, and thank them for being Bros.
Awesome customer service and repaired the AC in our old company van to perfection. They are great people who are wonderful to work with. I would recommend this company to anyone needing work done.
If you own a Subaru, do yourself a favor and forget the big shops. The mechanics are top-notch and know Subarus intimately well. They will usually quote repairs prior to servicing and always beat the big shops prices. I have never been disappointed and wouldnt take my Subie anywhere else.
I had a scheduled dropoff appointment at 0700, but had to miss it due to an unanticipated demand at work. I was able to drop off my 07 outback in the afternoon, expecting to get it back with just a diagnosis on such short notice. The folks at Kent Brothers had the car diagnosed and repaired before closing at 1730! They even allowed my wife to pay over the phone while she was on her way to pick up the car. Lindsey (sp?) was very friendly and understanding over the phone. In short, these are great people who do great work for an even better price. Do yourself a favor and take your vehicle to Kent Brothers.
I purchased a 1997 Subaru Legacy from Kent Brothers Automotive nearly four years ago. The vehicle has been abandoned after Eddie Joy had completed extensive repairs on a seized engine. I was not thrilled with the look of the car but Eddie ensured me the car was mechanically sound and would be a great car for anyone. Eddie was a pleasure to work with and I ended up LOVING the car. Over the years I had minor repairs completed at the shop and though my visits were few, each one was a pleasure. Yes, a pleasure. Lindsey, one of the technicians I was fortunate enough to work, with provided outstanding customer service and her genuine concern was always touching. NEVER have I enjoyed a relationship with an automotive shop like I enjoyed with Kent Brothers. They are honest, dependable, and excellent technicians. My heart is saddened to leave the Subaru family only because I will miss the AMAZING crew at Kent Brothers Automotive.
Everytime I go there, I am more than pleased.They know me. They know my car. They take the time to truly analyze whats wrong ...just wish Petit Outre was warmer
These guys were fantastic. Even though I wasnt able to schedule a formal review of the car, they talked through the issues I was having and helped me to make an informed decision. I felt really comfortable and heard, and I never felt like they were trying to sell me something I didnt need. Id go back here instantly.
Great service with honest and talented technicians. Highly recommend!
The folks at Kent Brothers looked over my car and did their best with it. The whole process was painless, often times car shops are the exact opposite. Definitely will go back again.
Ive brought in my car several times to Kent Brothers with some bizarre problems with the expectation of having to spend several hundred dollars for replacing new parts. Each time they found a simple fix and only had to pay a cheap labor charge, even though they often spent hours checking it. Fantastic, honest mechanics.
Eddie and the staff at Kent Brothers have always treated me with respect and kindness. I believe theyre the best mechanics in Missoula. Ive trusted them with my car multiple times now and I always leave feeling like they definitely over delivered. If you have a Subaru, take it to Kent Bros.
Excellent, fast service. My Subaru is back to normal! This shop is clear, considerate and clean.
The only place to go in missoula if you need work done on your subaru. They have always hooked me up with whatever I am needing from installing equal length headers to track pads and slotted rotors. On the plus side they are right next door to kettlehouse so you can wet your whistle while they work on your car.
Ive owned seven Subarus over the years and been to quite a few different Subaru specialists. Kent Brothers is hands down my favorite place that Ive had repair work done. Prices are very fair and work is always done quickly. Theyll have my business for as long as I live in Missoula. Thanks!
Courteous, prompt, and repair came in under budget! Would recommend/will return.
From brake lights to leaky headgaskets, this shop is by far the best place to take your Subaru. Always honest, incredibly affordable, and above all, friendly, their shop makes we want to keep buying Subarus just because I know who to take it to when it breaks. It usually takes about a week to get in because theyre the best shop around, and Missoula knows it.
I came in to ask about a strange noise my car was making. They were helpful in suggesting a couple of options to solve my problem.
THE Subaru people... Hands down most honest, educated and real people who love and care about their customers.
Bierwag is the Man.
