K&J Automotive

This time was an oil change and to check out the used car I just bought. As always very professional and let me know what needed to be taken care of right away and what could wait. Highly recommend. The funny thing is that the first time I went in, I had an oil change and they told me that I needed brakes done ASAP because a caliper was hanging up(I think that was what he said). I didn't believe them because there were no obvious noises or indications that they were bad - thought they were trying to take advantage of an old lady. Well, they were right, brakes went out within a couple weeks. Proved their honesty and I've been going to them ever since.

Kyle and Jason are great. Honest, thorough and affordable. They have a new location that’s easy to find, and I encourage everyone in Michiana to check out K&J Automotive for all types of vehicle care.

Watch for hidden fees. Received a quote, after they reached out to see if I needed work (starting to make sense as to why). The quote included $500 for brakes and rotors on a 20 yr old car, which I pointed out as a 3X markup, and gave several quotes for the same or better parts. They try to justify this by saying that it's part of a warranty service, which was never mentioned, meaning I would never be able to use it. I have no need for a warranty service to fix things if I'm on the side of the road as they kept saying, as I have things like insurance and roadside assistance. If you're going to include services, don't hide them and try to pass them off as parts costs. I have not had this issue at other shops, despite what they try to tell you is "standard". Seems kind of predatory, just a heads up. Do your due diligence, the need for which isn't exactly a great indication of trustworthy, transparent service. I've had them do work in the past when I needed my car towed to a shop, and they did okay. Now, I kind of feel like they are trying to recoup their losses in running the electric scooters business by adding it into parts/hidden fees. I know they lost this business as they were complaining about it when I picked up my card last time. Also, know that they cannot do anything outside of pull and replace. Asked about a very basic service, which involves zero fasteners and one 60-cent part. They were not capable of doing this (freeze plugs replacement).

Jason has been great to work with. Took my car in for an oil change because they have a great price! Great customer service, too! And when my breaks needed some work done, I knew where I was going. I needed a new mechanic - and found one with K&J Auto.

As a younger female it is incredibly hard to find a reliable car shop! I had the same problem with my car for a year straight , took it to four local shops and was told by all they couldn’t find where the issue was coming from. Kyle & Jason found the problem & solution in literally less than 20 minutes! they returned my car better than when I purchased it ! I won't take my vehicle else where

K&J is THE place to take your vehicles! They are honest and get the job done CORRECTLY! This is the ONLY place I bring my truck to be serviced.
