very poor

We have a 2007 Hybrid Toyota Camry with about 100K miles. KAC diagnosed and fixed longtime issues with warning lights, electrical glitches, starting problems -- most related to the battery system for the electrical motor. Also, minor gas leaks and fuel tank issues. Our other mechanic (super good we thought) just could not solve these problems. Price seemed fair. Service and communication was fabulous. I always bring a check so their business doesn't have to pay a 2.5% fee to a credit card company. Our car will go much, much longer and we can keep it out of the junkyard or a landfill. Amazing mechanics IMHO.

First time to this shop after giving up on another one in the area. I was very pleased. They did exactly what I wanted, prices were reasonable, and it was really great to interact with them. Bring your checkbook - they give a discount for cash or checks.
