good, nothing special

Consumer from Alexandria, VA

This is an Asian car specialist. Took my Corolla here for AC repair after getting an expensive quote from the dealer. K&B did the work for less than a third of dealer cost. The staff are very friendly, the tech explains exactly what can be done and at what cost. Job was done on time, on estimate, and right the first time. Can ask for nothing more.

Tom Bryant (owner) has been doing this a long time. His superb customer service skills are only eclipsed by the high quality of service provided by his auto technicians. My experience (last couple of years) with K&B has been light years past my decades of experience with (Honda) dealers! Also, his prices are way better than the dealers. Will not try to sell you stuff you don't need (most important). Along with a comfortable waiting room (coffee served), this is a place I trust with my car.
