Came here due to no openings at the Toyota dealership. I was hearing screeching from my driver side and figured it was the brakes. I knew I had a trip the following day so I needed to get this rectified and FAST!!! They quickly assessed my vehicle and confirmed my worry. My vehicle was fixed within hours, they were super friendly and I didn’t feel taken advantage of. Told all my co-workers about them and hope they pay this place a visit. Hard to find honest shops but this was definitely one. Thank you so much!!!

This was my second time visiting this shop for my auto repair needs. Unfortunately this time my car needed a lot more maintenance than before but John and his crew helped me out big time and now my car runs smoother than ever! If you need some work done on your car hit up John!!

Had a tough to diagnose issue and John and his technicians did a great job to troubleshoot my problem. They actually stayed open late to receive my vehicle as it had to be towed. Exceptional mechanical work, and service that you just dont see anymore.Highly recommended!

My vehicle was overheating and I took it to this shop to get a diagnostic on what the issue is. The guys here made me feel very welcomed, they explained what was wrong with my vehicle and helped me repair it. I will continue to come to this shop because they made me feel like they genuinely cared about my issue and made sure there were no more problems with my vehicle. I recommend them to anyone reading this!!

My wife went to this establishment and was charged $10.50 for a state inspection fee. When she mentioned that she has never paid more than $7, she was told the additional $3.50 was a service fee. Completely dishonest and deceptive! The $7 is what the inspection station is allowed to charge according to DPS. Any additional fee is unauthorized. We will not be going back to this place and I would advise that even though there are positive reviews about this place, how many of those people know what the actual pricing should be? Go down the street to Chad Miller or even across the street to the lube place. In a time when we wanted to support a locally owned small business, we find that they are dishonest. Very nice in the current climate!

Best service and tire shop in the city! I am a local business owner and I will only take my personal and work vehicles to John. Very honest and straightforward. Before I started using them exclusively, I had taken my wifes car to another nearby shop and thought the fast quote that was given to me was high, so I brought it here and John promptly explained exactly what was happening and where the symptoms were coming from and did the job for about 20% less than the other quote. Great place, good people.

This is the GOODYEAR tire shop. It’s a family run shop that was bought out recently. I came in wanting to get a quote on some tires, John quickly gave me low/mid/high end options and showed me what the tread looks like. A quick search online showed that his tire prices were equal (actually a dollar less) to what I could get ordering directly from discount tire. I needed some other stuff taken care off, or at least looked at. They checked everything. And instead of pushing me to do everything possible, he explained to me what needs to me done ASAP, and what can wait. I got the tires done, an alignment, and a transmission flush. My car drives soooooooo nice, gears change effortlessly and I can’t even tell when it switches from one to another. The alignment and the new rubber is just what my car needed - what a HUGE difference some nice tires and an alignment can do for a car! Anyways, I’m def a lifetime customer here now, based on my experience - I recommend y’all do the same.

I needed an oil change, but my regular shop is closed on Saturdays. When I arrived here, Jose greeted me right away, answered my questions, and let me know what to expect for my service. They were quick and did a great job. I wasnt surprised by the additional services they recommended, since I knew my vehicle needed them. They didnt pressure me to do the services, but Jose invited me to have the work done there and give them a chance to earn more of my business.I stopped in because I wanted the BG products in my car, and Im happy I did. They treated me right! Ill definitely reopen for oil changes, and maybe for other services, too.

Review №21

Very Good mechanics. Jose was very professional and explained everything in detail before and after the service. Ken is very friendly and attentive. They will both put you at ease about the work they have to do and will let you know ahead of time what your costs will be but dont be surprised if the end quote after the service is three times the amount quoted. Once I got over the shock of the final bill I was fine with it but wont be going back.

I took my vehicle to this service station and immediately was helped by John. I told him of my concerns about the warranty company; and he alleviated my doubts by sharing with me that he was familiar with their claims process. I told him about everything I knew was wrong with the car and he immediately started to obtain the information. He cared and did not act arrogant or condescending. His colleague, Robert also kept me posted throughout the inspection of the vehicle. They did not try and take advantage of me nor did they try and scare me.Even after knowing my budgetary limits (what the warranty would not cover) they went the extra mile and cut the rear rotors because they were concerned about my safety. They truly understand their profession but in addition... the dynamics of customer loyalty and value perceptions. Both men, were honest, humbled, and personable. I will be taking my used car there for any and all future maintenance issues despite living out of town. And I highly recommend to others. These men are honest, this service station is clean and friendly, and their technical proficiency is the highest.

I have sent my daughter that is in college to this shop several times with some major issues and John, Jose and there crew have always explained everything to her in simplicity and never tried to do more than what was actually needed. They have always worked with her in a timely manner and prices were good also. These guys have my respect and my business. I’m thankful I found an honest shop.

Awesome service! Had my tires replaced/ rotated and the oil changed. Prices are reasonable and I didnt have to wait long. The workers are knowledgable and friendly.

Looking for trustworthy auto shop- seem to have found it here. Left dealer with $4000 recommendation for service in 2008 model. Met owner and shop manager here and explained I wanted a safe vehicle but would trade it if repairs costly. $200 and a brake job have me running quiet and safe. Left feeling I was done right.

Highly impressed with the service that I was given at this location. From the first call and speaking with Jose he was very attentive as I explained my situation. He stated that they could look at it and let me know what might be. When I dropped it off, I explained what the car was doing and immediately they had idea of what the problem could be.Thank you to Jonathan that located the problem and fixed my car back to normal. Thank you for doing what another service company could not!Definitely will be taking my car back!

Im blown away by the service I received here today. Most place that I have taken my car to wouldnt answer any questions or even let me know what other services my car needed but the workers and owner were beyond helpful they answered all questions I had regarding the services my car needed along with great prices. The environment was very upbeat, clean and will most definitely be going back for all future service. I highly recommend this place. Thank you workers and management.

I would recommend this Goodyear location. I spoke to Robert who gave me quotes. I took my car in for a tune-up and oil change. The tune-up was done at this location a year ago. Robert told me that the car shouldnt need a tune-up if it was done a year ago. He asked how was my car driving. I told him the that car was driving rough and I thought it needed a tune-up. Once he took it for a test drive and the tech had a chance to check it out. It ended up being the motor mounts. My bill was double what I expected but the work was awesome!! My Focus 2009 drives like a Lincoln!!! Thanks guys, job well done!!!! Happy customer! :)

On a packed Friday evening about 10 minutes before closing time I rolled up w a nail in my tire. The fellas there took it off and did their best to fix it but bc of the placement of nail my tire was trash. They offered me a used tire at a great price. Jose showed phenomenal customer service and all the fellas had such a great attitude even though they worked past closing time - be of me. Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!

I will recommend this auto repairs shop to anyone that needs minor and major repairs. They have great customer service and they know their stuff. We took our truck that we bought 15 years ago. It needed help to be revived and they made the repairs it needed. It runs great!! The cost was very reasonable for all the work our truck needed and they warantied all the repairs. I’ve taken my car there also and they took great care of me. I will never take my vehicles to the dealerships for anything anymore. I always thought that was the way to go until I took my business to this Goodyear location. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Awesome work, very knowledgeable team and great customer service! Keep up the great work!!

This place always does the best work on my Hummer H3! I’m grateful for you guys because you have kept my vehicle on the road! I will continue to come here because Robert tells you exactly what is wrong with your vehicle and is clear with what repairs need to get done. He’ll even make recommendations on other repairs that you can do while you are there or later. I’m never disappointed when I come here! Thank you Ken’s Tire and Auto for all you do for San Antonio! 👌🏼

Kens tire and auto is the best repair shop I have used in the 50 years I have owned an automobile. Made an appointment for 8 am for brake light switch transmission service and A/C service. Was back on the road by 9:30. The entire family owned operation is professional and very friendly. The best part of the experience was the reasonable price for all the services. I highly recommend this business if you need high quality , reasonably priced auto care. John and Robert go out of their way to provide fast and reliable service. I will be using them for all my future repairs and preventive maintenance to all my vehicles.

Review №44

My experience at the Kens Auto shop was definitely how I would imagine an ideal mechanic shop composed of a fair honest and hard-working team with the best interest in mind for taking care of their customers. I had a coolant leak which led to my vehicle overheating and smoking. I was discouraged about attending the last three auto shops near campus, since one charged me an astronomical balance to repair coolant damages ( a charge of over $4,000s), another who didnt work on LandRovers, and the last one who couldnt detect the issue. Mr. Jose (manager) assisted me and made very clear the issue with my vehicle and what must be done immediately to resolve the issue. He also brought to my attention other problems that must be addressed to avoid future damages to my vehicle as well. With the student discount (15%) and waiver fee of the diagnostic (if you decide to allow them to repair the damages) the balance was reduced to less that $900s, which I believe was reasonable considering the damage. I appreciate this shop and look forward to future repairs (if needed) by this company. Moreso, I recommend this shop in particular to anyone whos looking for a mechanic that will do their best to ensure that your experience is the best...

I was in a bind and received the best service at Ken’s! I was in San Antonio for work and had a 5 1/2 hour drive to make to get back home. Unfortunately, one of my tires wouldn’t hold air. They could’ve pushed an expensive, brand new tire on me, but they didn’t. Instead, they listed to the fact that I had road hazard coverage on the bad tire back at home and sold me a high quality, used tire for less money. I dropped in with no notice and was back on the road within an hour. Everyone was polite and very friendly. I have a new car care place for emergencies when I’m in San Antonio!

Review №46

Great people , everytime I go in I tell them exactly when I need to be repaired. They assure me they will check over the issue and address it properly. If I do not know what is wrong they will diagnose it for me. I trust their word 100%. They are very skilled and very fast with their work. All jobs only take around a couple of hours , never had to leave my vehicle overnight. Great service and I will continue going back to them

Weve been using this shop for going on 2 years. They have been professional, prompt, and price comparative, the 3 Ps that we look for. John and the crew at Kens Goodyear on De Zavala dont just take care of our business needs, but they also service my wifes personal vehicle as well as my car. I thank my lucky stars that I found a shop that is not only honest, but gets me taken care of quickly, as well.

I went in January as I was driving by San Antonio and had car problems and they did not fix my car. Three hours later that I was driving at night as I stop at the gas station my car didnt turned on and before taking it here I never had this problem. I paid a lot of money and they did not fix my car. Horrible service as they knew I was driving at night and the car was not safe to drive.

Review №64

I’m so grateful for Ken’s shop. I showed up right at closing on my way home from work and my car was acting up pretty badly, enough to where it was shaking down the highway and had me scared as to whether or not I would even make it home. Robert was a complete hero and stayed an extra 30 minutes after they closed to help run a diagnostic on my car and help me with my options. I came back the next morning to get my car fixed and they went above and beyond to help get it done fast. I work out toward Blanco but I live close to downtown San Antonio, so I rely on my car so much. Needless to say I’m so grateful for all of the help I got and for the stellar service. Y’all are now my go to local shop. Thank you!

Happy to have found an honest auto shop in San Antonio! My daughter is a student at UTSA and she called me to say shed picked up a nail in her tire. I sent her to Firestone to enquire about getting it repaired but they told her its too close to the sidewall but would give us a discount on a new tire. My daughter told me it was closer to the center than the side so I checked around and spoke with John Hernandez @ Kens Tire and Auto. I explained the situation and he said to have her bring it in. We talked about having daughters in college and he made me feel he would take care of my daughter in an ethical way. She took it in and they found there was no issue with patching it and they did so. John and the rest of the crew at Kens will get all of my automotive business needed by my daughters vehicle, without hesitation.

Walmart drained my transmission fluid instead of giving me an oil change. They reffered me to this place to get it checked out for free and they said my clutch was slipping in my automatic... there was a leak in my transmission... and the transmission was sealed. Estimated $3,000 to fix. Took it to jordan ford and they put transmission fluid in it and it runs fine, there is no leak and the transmission is not sealed.... Just another money hungry business that is not looking out for the customer. From my experience, i saved $3,000 by not going here, so dont believe everything that they say.
