Mario is a straight shooter. My transmission failed and I (barely) drove my vehicle over to Kennedy, mostly because it is close to where I work. Turns out that they could not help me with the transmission because the one I had is out of production and they couldnt get ahold of one for a reasonable price, so Mario called around and set me up with someone who could help - AND while my car was at Kennedy when they were doing the diagnosis Mario let me use a loaner vehicle free of charge. He went the extra mile to help me out for no reason at all. I feel like I cannot repay Mario for his help, but I will definitely be going there for any maintenance work I need done in the future and recommending his shop to everyone. This is a trustworthy repair shop.

Had my transfer case replaced here and bought the 1 year warranty. A couple months later the main rear seal started leaking and called them to get it warrantied since I now live out of state. They claim seal was not covered under warranty. Called the parts provider they got it from and they said each transfer case is clearly labeled when they get them that the seal should be replaced. Explained this to Kennedy and they wouldnt help and just pointed fingers back and forth with the parts provider. Ended up having to pay for new seal installation out of pocket even though I paid for a warranty. Would not recommend this place to a friend.

At first I enjoyed the service that Kennedy provided my family. Quick turnaround and a somewhat positive attitude. More recently I had them do some service on my vehicle; I was miss quoted on the price. The service they did do did not fix the problem. Mario makes assumptions before he truly diagnosis the correct problem. Their labor rates are on the high side; the parts mark-up prices are disgusting and when questioned about their service or diagnosis instantly he becomes defensive. I will never bring my car or truck back to him; no matter who is doing the work.

#1 shop in town. I am a home mechanic and the one thing I will not and can not do is transmissions. Mario was able to help and fix my car with-in a time frame that I could not believe. Being a home mechanic I get very defensive when it comes to bringing cars to a shop. However not this shop! Even though I wont be bringing my car into this shop every time there is a problem I will say if you are thinking of going here do so! Mario is the best and is very knowledgeable on what he does. Highly recommend this shop!

Jim and Mario know me by a first name basis because I bought a lemon of a car and they had to fix it. They tore the car apart and got it running in tip top shape. They worked with me so well - I would highly recommend them. Our repairs were costly, but they worked with us as best as they could with the costs. I really appreciate their time and expertise. They treat you like family.

Fantastic service and all very good parts being used rather than cheap parts that might go bad that other shops use. So may be pricey but its worth it! Mario is always a good guy to work with! Our family will continually go here. You know my broken down beamer more than I do at this point. Lol. Thanks so much for everything! Great job, fantastic business!

Mario and his crew have ways been great. We have always tried to fix our vehicles ourselves. When it came to a transmission issue we tried Kennedy transmission. They fixed the problem and did one better found another issue with wiring. Mario took good care of us. Now I go there for any issues with my car, and my oil changes. You guys rock. Thank you!!!

Mario has been amazing to work with. I take not only my company fleet to him but send my entire family to him, including my own mother. Never have to worry about him telling her she needs something when she truly doesnt.

Mario and his team of mechanics are first class. I have all my vehicle maintenance performed at their shop. From engine and transmission change outs to oil changes, they do a first class job!!
