Kern River Automotive

This place is phenomenal. You need a mechanic, look no further. Had a near totaled Ford flex, body is fine, but they put a forklift prong into the engine bay. I have no idea how but they fixed it and it runs great. Thanks so much you guys.

I used them for a tune-up, so when my AC went out, I took it to them. 1st, he charged it up, but it still wasn't working. Said it needed a new fan blower motor and resistor. So I bought that and they put it in. It worked one day and quit. I took it and dropped it off on Thursday. It set there for 2 days. Fixed or not, I needed my car back for the weekend. Plus, it's not safe on their lot. They close at 5 pm. I walked down there early to be sure to catch them. I got there around 430pm, and they were closed up and gone, which meant I couldn't get my car back for the weekend! I walked back home and discovered I did have a second key, fortunately. So I had a neighbor run me back down there to get my car. Monday morning I took it back down there. Joey did not apologize for the poor customer service on Friday. He just said yeah we got all your messages. I left it all day Monday and finally got a call that they can't figure it out, take it somewhere else. 3 days they had my car! It would have been 5 days if I hadn't figured out how to get it back. I won't be back.

These people are a complete ripoff. I went in to have a $11 pc vaulve put on my truck. I asked how much this was going to cost me and she never would answer. My truck was there 6 hours . I called repeatedly and never got an answer to any of my questions. Then I got hit with a $346 bill. They said $280 was for labor. I could of done it myself . When I asked why was it so high she replied that's just what charge. I will never go there or refer someone there ever. THEY ARE A RIPOFF!!!

Last August, after an engine failure on the highway 178, we brought the car to Kern River Automotive. They were adorable and took the time to help us, diagnosed the vehicle and explained us the best solution for the current issue. I would definitely recommand this garage to anyone in the Lake Isabella area. They are professional, caring and honest. Thank you once again for your help! Thomas

We came from Clovis Calif to Wofford Heights for vacation. My car decided to not want to run properly. So I went on the hunt to find a repair shop, I can upon Kern River Automotive. What an AMAZING Mechanic JAKE was. He stopped his shop work and came right out to me, and began checking my car out. Went and retrieved his Code Reader and began searching. In a matter of under 25 minutes he told me the problem and fixed it ASAP. In this day and age the service I was given today By Master Mechanic JAKE was absolutely above and beyond. Thank you JAKE, for proving there are still really good, honest, caring and knowledgeable mechanics out there. I will always use your service anytime I am in the area needing car repairs. Have a blessed day and Thank You again.
