Kevin's Auto Repair Service in
Swoyersville (PA)

Always a Great Price on oil changes, which also includes a safety check on your vehicle.

WHEN OUR GARAGE CLOSED WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT FINDING SOMEONE NEW.....WE DID ! GREAT SERVICE AND DECENT PRICING. RECENTLY THEY GOT US IN THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND SO APPRECIATED. KEVIN AND THE STAFF ARE THE BEST. DOUG AND TRACY WALTER

Can't recommend enough! Fair and reasonable prices. They don't push anything on you. They're honest and forthcoming. Don't sugarcoat anything. Even recommended I don't go ahead with one of the repairs for my car, as the price to fix it would be astronomical for what it was. Kevin is the man.

Had work done here for something under warranty and they were absolutely wonderful to work with! They encountered communication issues with the warranty company, so it took a bit longer than anticipated. But the staff called me and let me know what was happening all along the way. Thank you for the great service!

After getting nothing but grief from a "Big Name" car repair place, we started taking our car to Kevin's and have been treated so much better. Fair pricing, fast service, great customer service, no complaints at all!

Kevin's helped me breathe easy, literally also noticing a front end bolt that was so loose, gone unnoticed, it could have been bad... Kevin's team addressed all my other concerns and then some,I would recommend them highly to everyone.. Thanks you guys!

Diagnosed and repaired the problem that I brought to them, calling with a diagnosis and price of the repair without pressure to move forward. Very pleased with my new starter and will return for a few more repairs that they recommend.

Very good service and it was easy to schedule an appointment. I appreciate seeing the detailed itemized summary of the work and cost prior to my approval! My vehicle was ready when expected. Thank you

Kevin’s got me in right away after my truck died the night before. They replaced my battery and I am thoroughly happy with the service they provided. I highly recommend them.

Great business follows up with you to find out if everything is good, that is very important and Old School. My dad was a very well known mechanic in NJ and he was the same way. Guaranteed his work and followed up with his clients. Great people working here, and very professional, a place I can trust!!!

Had the truck back in a very timely manner with no issues. Great communication, also like the text with the link provided showing the price and what was getting done along with other things that need to be done in the future and can accept or decline the work you want done. Very nice. People are great at the desk. Will go back with more vehicles

Took my 2014 GMC Terrain in for an ECM issue and was quoted over $1,300 for what is, in reality, a straightforward ECM swap and relearn that every other shop prices around $400. They charged me $200 just for a diagnostic, promised it would roll into the repair, then tried to stack another $200 for “programming” on top of a simple install—even though I provided a pre‑programmed ECM that already had the correct VIN. Instead of doing the basic theft relearn that comes with every ECM replacement, they used “no‑crank/no‑start” as an excuse to upsell full reprogramming. When asked to show proof (VIN check or GM SPS session history) they dodged it. This is classic padded billing: charging for work that isn’t necessary and hoping the customer doesn’t know better. If you don’t want to pay triple for a simple job and argue with a service department that counts on you not understanding how ECM replacement works, go anywhere else. This place will turn a $400 job into a $1,300 bill with creative excuses.

I've been relying on Kevin's Auto in Swoyersville since Back Mountain Auto cllosed a few years ago when Dave retired. I've had excellent service & reasonable prices ever since. Manager Alexis & Shop Foreman Kyle answered all of my questions & got my inspection completed quickly. I've had other service needs over the last few years, including an auto body job, always handled efficiently & capably. I always recommend my friends & family to Kevin's Auto. Thanks! Tony F.

This was my first time taking my car here and I can say, it won’t be the last. The folks at Kevin’s were very helpful, knowledgeable, and kept me informed along the way. Reasonable prices on an oil change and inspection/emission. Definitely would recommend!

I have been using Kevin's for over a year now and I'm completely satisfied. Their customer service is fantastic from office staff to shuttle rides and loaner available if needed. When evaluating they always let you know what needs to be done immediately and what repairs may be coming up in the future!

We came to this shop for the first time based on the stellar reviews, hoping for the same great service others described. We brought my husband’s truck in specifically to address a misfiring issue. The shop said it might be caused by faulty sensors, so we agreed to have them replaced—and we understand that sometimes diagnosing a problem takes a few steps. That’s not the issue. What’s frustrating is that after two full days in the shop and nearly $600 in repairs, the misfire was still happening. We were outside the building when the mechanic took the truck for a test drive, and there’s no way the misfiring wasn’t still noticeable—it started acting up again within 10 minutes of us driving away. We ended up taking it to a different garage, where they diagnosed the real issue—bad spark plugs—and had it fixed in under 40 minutes. The truck is now running perfectly. We feel like we paid over $500 for a repair that didn’t address the actual problem, and the lack of follow-through is what really disappointed us—especially after trusting this shop based on such positive reviews.

Kevin's Auto Repair truly restored my faith in humanity. After being involved in a hit-and-run on I-81—three hours from home with an undrivable car—I was towed to their shop. I asked if they could at least take a look to see if the exhaust and part of the bumper could be pulled away from the rear tire so I could make it home. Otherwise, I was going to have to figure out alternate plans. They kindly said, “Sure, we’ll take a look.” About 40 minutes later, the receptionist came back and told me, “You’re all set!” I was completely shocked—and beyond grateful. When I asked how much I owed them, they said there was no charge. I insisted, but they simply asked me to leave a good review. Well, calling this just a “good” experience doesn’t even begin to cover it. It was unbelievably excellent. They turned what could have been an incredibly stressful and expensive ordeal into something uplifting. As an out-of-towner, they could have easily taken advantage of the situation—but instead, they were honest, generous, and kind. Kevin’s Auto Repair didn’t just get me back on the road—they completely changed the trajectory of my day. I can’t thank you all enough, and I truly couldn’t recommend you more highly.

Really wonderful staff here! Kevin’s auto did my inspection and oil change and informed me of what work my car needed to pass inspection and showed me pictures too. They also have really fair pricing, would definitely recommend coming here for mechanic services!

This place does not honor their warranty. They pushed off a failed repair for months despite the obvious signs. Tried charging me $350 for "further" diagnostics even though I have video proof as well as diagnostic proof from another garage. The engine still does not perform as this is a significant component. It's become unsafe and may force me into a new truck at the worst time. They were paid to do the job right the first time and have been giving me the run around for many months. ****The engine was 2 quarts low of 6 quarts. That does not justify a failed repair. Oil was always changed at 3000 miles with mobil 1 full synthetic. Despite the timing DTC you still circumvented the real issue. Just as you did with 2 of my friends vehicle. One of which you "diagnosed' twice, cost her $800 only to end up changing the $20 cabin filter herself after watching a youtube video. I had multiple videos prior and after the oil excuse of the timing chain rattle and you told me that a video won't work it has to happen in the parking lot. Since the last time you tried charging an exorbent amount for yet another diagnostics, the engine has since blown up. A complaint with the BBB has been filed and I will be contacting a lawyer. I encourage anyone to steer clear of this shop. Spend a small fortune diagnosing and guessing only to bring it back. Diagnose, circumvent, return, repeat.

I was satisfied with the service of having a battery replaced.The staff made a very good first impression. Your office personnel were very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. From the time the appointment was made to having the AAA discount applied at checkout, it was first class treatment. Whenever I am in need of any automotive assistance, I will be sure to consider your garage.

Very pleased with our experience at Kevin's. Online scheduling is very convenient. The communication during inspection was very good and there was no "hard sell" which is refreshing. Car was ready right on time. We will definitely use Kevin's again.

Front office area very clean and friendly staff. they were able to take in my vehicle and repair it in a very timely manner at a reasonable cost. As an added service, they Conducted an overall inspection of the vehicle with recommended repairs. The repair of my vehicle came with a 12 month parts and labor warranty. I would not hesitate to use Kevin’s Auto.

From start to finish, my experience with the team at Kevin’s was wonderful. They got me in the same day that I called and accommodated a time that worked for me to be able to stick around rather than drop off my car. I was very worried at a sudden terrible noise the previous day that seemed to go away by the time I arrived. Still, they took the time to assess the situation and determined what the issue was - rotted hardware, a loose heat shield and some stones that caused the noise. They were thorough, kind and professional. I have to highlight that they were generous enough not to charge me and helped me get safely on my way. It was a great early Christmas present when stress is at an all-time high. The customer service is top notch and I walked away a very happy customer! Also, the waiting room was cozy, tidy and decorated nicely for Christmas and the restroom was clean. 12/10 recommend Kevin’s Auto Repair.

Kevin’s Auto Repair is the most honest, trustworthy garages in the area. They are very thorough. On my last visit they even reached out to my dealership and found out that my repair would be covered under my warranty if i took my car there. The office is clean with welcoming staff. There are multiple ways to communicate with the team (text,website appt, and phone) highly recommend.

I have had my vehicle serviced at Kevin's Auto Repair a few times now. Each time, they preform a no cost inspection of the vehicle. This last time I had it serviced, it was around $1100. No one I know has that kind of money laying around for a rainy day. Kevins ordered the parts, worked on the vehicle and finished it before I had the exact amount paid. (In fact, it had to sit there for 2 days before I could pick it up!) Front end staff is always courteous and respectful each and every conversation held. I will always have Kevin's Auto work on my vehicles! 10/10 recommend to have your vehicle checked and fixed!

Took my Malibu for inspection. The picture shows how they reassembled everything out of alignment. My Ford Transit was inspected and returned with a missing hub cap. Never again. In addition, my wife had her vehicle there for some work and someone who works there left a key and key fob from another vehicle in her van. M going to Rymer anymore.

This is the best shop around! A real gem! They have very knowledgeable and skillful mechanics and pleasant and professional front-end staff. They have an extremely clean and professional looking waiting room. It's always decorated nicely. They have complimentary coffee and water at a wonderful serving station. You really wouldn't know you're at a garage from the front end of the shop. I never mind waiting for my car while using their free guest wifi to do some work. Their prices are great and you know they aren't just trying to "take you for a ride." They don't nickle and dime you. They always let you know what's up before they do any work and they explain everything aaaannndddd there's never any pressure. In addition, they always do a complimentary maintenance inspection and quality check whenever you bring your car in. They really care about your safety. They also have a "loan" program if you do need some emergency work. The program is through snap-on for up to 3k with no interest for the first 3 or 6 months (I can't remember) and no credit check. I used it once in a pinch and it worked out great! It also doesn't go on your credit as long as you make payments. Ask the shop manager, Alexis, and she'll be happy to explain the program. This really is how a business should be run. Whatever Kevin is doing it's really working. They are doing a phenomenal job! I really can't say enough! I know they will have my business for a long, long time. I won't go anywhere else!
