Kevin's Automotive LLC in
Claremore (OK)

Great mechanics shop very honest and fast turnaround time

Kevin and his crew got me in quickly, diagnosed the problem fixed it and all at a very honest reasonable rate. Kind honest and knowledgeable!

We always have our vehicles worked by Kevin's crew and they always do an amazing job

I called them after my 2022 Buick encore would not stop over heating on the highway! They got me in same day, figured it out and kept me up to date the whole time! They ordered the part and it was the wrong one, they were super apologetic but I didn’t mind and I know mistakes happen! They still got it fixed in a reasonable manner! My ONLY complaint would be they need to update the hours of the shop everywhere they are posted. Google and the shop website both say “open saturdays til noon” and they are not open Saturdays! Other than that 5/5! Honest! Hardworking! Reliable! They also didn’t charge me a storage fee even tho my cars been ready for a few days!

I had never been here before, and I do not car maintenance often. So, it is difficult to build relationship with a good shop that will be fair and courteous and UPRIGHT. I took my 2014 Impala in for an oil change and filter and lube, they charged me $60, and I was pleased. Then I took my 2012 Challenger in 30 minutes later, and they roll the labor for the change and lube and filter into the cost of oil quarts which comes to around $12.50 per quart, which i find acceptable, then of course the oil filter which is a little extra. I also requested some new wind shield wiper blades, and they charged me $30 for those and $40 labor to put them on, which I find a little steep, so for an oil change/lube and new wiper blades it cost me $150, so I think that was a tad steep, and the reason the employee say that was the price was because their computer wasn't working or something like that, and they was ballparking it, so I spend $210 total for two oil changes and a pair of wiper blades, it is too bad I will have to keep looking, because I need coolant flushes on both cars soon, and I will not be returning there.

Honest, fast and reliable as always! They beat all other prices in town and do a wonderful job!

Great service! Excellent communication, fast service, and overall great experience! I would highly reccomend!

Disgraceful to our military explicitly from Kevin himself for starters. Then broke more than fixed on the vehicles after doubling the quoted price. Do not go here. Workers are polite and helpful but he for one is not. You will end up with thousands more after you leave.

Highly recommend I took my 2018 Dodge Charger Scatpack in to get a Axel replacement and they found some other issues they addressed showed me in shop told me total amount I would owe got everything fixed in a fast paced time would recommend to anyone Semper Fi.

Great service. They helped me when my car broke down. I would definitely recommend them if you ever have any problems.

Kevin and his team took great care of my truck getting it diagnosed and fixed in a timely manner. Give them a shot!

Kevin and the guys at the shop chased down an electrical problem on my 2011 F150. I had already done all I could do. The after hours drop was easy and the work was done! Kevin explained all the details of the work. Will definitely use them again if needed.

I was in a jam when my car wouldn’t start Tuesday morning. I called Kevin they got me right in, and I know they were busy. But they helped me out and got my car done early that afternoon. They had to change the ignition lock and that can be labor intensive. But they got it done quickly! I was sure grateful I didn’t miss another day of work. They did a great job at a good price. I’m very happy with their service and will definitely go back to them next time my car breaks down.

Took car in for the neutral safety switch. They claimed it wouldn't start and my brand new starter in the car was bad despite it had being tested at purchase. Asked them to keep the starter so I could refund it and they did not, costing me $300 on top of paying for the new starter. Then upon pick up still wouldn't start and my new battery was drained. They tried to claim the alternator was bad and caused the battery to drain. Managed to get it to another repair shop which they said my alternator tested fine. My experience with this shop was incredibly poor and took nearly a month for them to even start repairs on the car and insisted on me paying on the third day of them actually working on it "because it was their policy."

Excellent company! We called yesterday and explained how much we needed our heater due to my hubby's health...Kevin told us to bring it in first thing in the morning and they'd get us taken care of and they did!!! Highly recommend these guys!!!

I recently took my Chevy Sonic into Kevin’s automotive due to a rough, grinding sound coming from my engine. I dropped my car off at around 12:30p when Kevin was clearly busy, (multiple cars being worked on at once), and he called me by 1:43pm that afternoon with a diagnosis. I couldn’t believe how quickly he figured out the problem! The quote was very reasonable and fair considering the work my vehicle needed, (timing belt, serpentine belt, and water pump replacement). He was able to get me up and running by 4:30p the next day and my car drives and sounds just like she used to! If you want fast, quality service with competitive prices, Kevin’s automotive is the place for you! Not only is Kevin great at what he does, but his technicians are just as superb. Colton helped me when I picked my vehicle up and he was very thorough and to the point. Thank you Kevin’s automotive! I will definitely be coming back to you in the future.

Not only were we in a jam and Kevin's Automotive made time for us, they did quality work for a great price on a vehicle that is not easy to work on. We also love that Kevin's is not just veteran owned but a locally owned shop as well. The owner is readily available, if not at the shop, at all times.

Update **** Kevin personally called to set things right. He explained why they didn't get any detailed codes and why the estimate was so much higher than other shops. I confirmed that my Acura requires special equipment to flush the transmission and his estimate was to do it the old school way that is much more labor intensive and requires 3 times the fluid. He refunded my diagnostic charge and we are chalking it up to a miscommunication. First, they lied to me about not being able to pull error codes on my car (I have a photo of the codes and wanted an estimate based from that) I was told it would be $120 to have them diagnose with their machine. I was then told they would replace the transmission fluid twice and put in an additive but couldn't guarantee the results. I was told the fluid was dark and low, but they topped it off for me. I know both of those statements were false as I had it checked out in Owasso when the check transmission warning popped up! I personally checked the fluid level, and it was fine. The estimate was over $600 to change the fluid. That is Double the price at the dealership!!! So much for wanting to support a local veteran owned business! I should have run when I saw the $20 discount for Google reviews! Don't waste your money or try to talk to the owner as "he isn't here today."

Read this summary of my experience and see for yourself if my experience is something you want to endure. -Bring my car in for thermostat and clunking noise in front drivers side suspension. -Get a call that the noise is coming from CV axle and lower control arms. -Spindle is destroyed in process ends up costing me a new spindle and wheel bearing assembly. -Pick up car after $1760 in repairs. Not a bad experience so far but here’s where things start declining tremendously. -Quickly notice car does not drive straight and that I am missing lower splash cover on my car. -Clunking noise in front drivers suspension was NOT fixed. Leading me to wonder what actually needed to be replaced in $1000 of a spindle, wheel bearing, and lower control arms. -I call and tell them. But I am refused a realignment because they don’t do those and I am told that my car came in with a missing splash cover. I am no fool when it comes to cars and I know for a fact I looked at that piece the day before I brought it in. -Leave a 1 star review explaining this. -Car begins squeaking terribly and comes from the same side they did work on. -I take my car back and they said it just needs to be lubed up. I find this strange since they literally just rebuilt this side. -Get call saying I will get reimbursed for realignment AND splash guard on the condition I remove one star review. -Get realignment. But goes back to pulling badly soon after. -Check under my car to see what’s wrong and find that the bolt holding the lower control arm onto the subframe of my car is backed out nearly 90% of the way. If you don’t know much about cars, if this bolt backed all the way out it would’ve cause the front suspension to fall apart and could’ve caused a major wreck/injury. -Take it into the shop again and they tell me it was the alignment shops fault. This was 100% NOT the alignment shops fault. The bolt does not adjust anything related to the suspension. It just holds the lower control arm to the subframe of the car. An alignment shop does not touch this. -I did get reimbursed for my alignment but not the splash guard. Which is why I feel like I’m am willing to put up another one star review; the deal was not fulfilled . Overall, I feel like I’ve been scammed or lied to nearly step of the way in this process. I do appreciate the reimbursement but honestly I’ll be near $1900 deep into this after just wanting a thermostat replacement and a clunking noise fixed (which was not even fixed, I still have this issue).

I was in town looking for someone to do a pre purchase inspection on a few cars I was looking into purchasing and I called and spoke to Kevin. He was able to get my in and inspected both vehicles in a shorter time frame than was quoted and also gave me a discount for having two inspections done. He was super friendly and all of his staff were nice and honest. Highly recommend! Definitely will be coming back. Even the price quotes I received on work were affordable. Looking forward to doing business with Kevin in the future!

Charged $275 for wires to be swapped that they installed on a blower motor for ac/heat. Was willing to spend what I needed to have my 2002 Jeep ready for summer but after speaking to owner and told numerous times how old my car is, it just wasn’t worth dealing with him. Colton (mechanic) if you go to a better shop let me know.

Unreliable! Took my wife’s car in for a radiator leak. $2500 later of finding stuff to fix, it lasted five minutes on the road after pickup. The wheel locked up, power steering failed, causing my pregnant wife to almost wreck with our one year old son. It’s ridiculous. The owner stated to me that my wife (who has limited vehicle knowledge) apparently told him her power steering was going bad, and he chose not to fix it… why??? That’s literally the job we hired him for, fix the problems. The whole purpose of taking it in, was it was hot and leaking radiator fluid and we have a baby on the way and need our vehicle in working order. In my mind it is extremely negligent to allow a pregnant woman and 1 year old to leave in a vehicle that is worse off now than how it was dropped off, especially after we have spent that amount of cash to leave in a working vehicle. It honestly feels like they take advantage of people who have limited vehicle knowledge, sabotage things to force you to bring it back for even more money, and do sloppy work hence the loose and missing caps under the hood, and the low fluid levels. Save your money!

I didn’t have to wait a long time for my oil change, love that! Must of all I have cream colored seats and they stayed clean that’s very important! Last few places I have been to that changed my oil and put the stickers up in the window got oil on my interior of my new car well not here at Kevin’s thank you for that! Big plus! Also super cut hot rod looking inside of an office was enjoying to set and wait in. Friendly to deal with. I give my recommendation.

Kevin's Automotive was quick to get me into the shop for testing and diagnosis of a transmission issue on my van. The next day they had a detailed estimate prepared and could get started on it right away. I appreciate their transparency when pricing repairs and thorough communication. Great guys!

They replaced my clutch only shop that would do it or even get back to me or even take me in. Got me in within a week and got my car back within a couple days. No complaints from me I never even got to meet Mr. Kevin cause of my work schedule but he kept me updated and was polite when I called a couple times didn’t act like he hated to talk to customers like the other places. Coming from a car service background he was very good over all. Highly recommend. Thanks again Mr. Kevin.

They are a phenomenal option, I would give them my business again! I was looking at a pickup in Claremore, and wanted it checked out by a third party. I called them the day of, a few hours before they closed and they got me in within the hour. The inspection was quick and thorough, and he walked me through the issues and pricing, simplifying it for a layman! I really appreciated their help. It was totally worth it. They’re also really nice folks to chat with!

We’ve had such a great experience with Kevin! He has fixed many of our problems for a very good price. I’ve been to a lot of mechanics and he is very thorough compared with most. He has caught several problems with our cars before they caused damage. The one drawback is that lots of other people know that he’s very good so sometimes it takes a little longer to get work done. It’s definitely worth it though!
