Testimonials

This guy is awesome!! Won't take my car anywhere else. He's always been totally honesty, and had helped me and other customers out way beyond what was necessary... Making extra phone calls to find parts that are cheaper, and so much more. Please, do yourself a favor and go to Keenan's!

-Logan H.
Best mechanic in town! Honest and fair. Very trustworthy!!!

-Kendra B.
Kenneth (the owner) was quick to get my work done, and very helpful. He suggested that my fan clutch be replaced, and when I told him I'd like to try to do it myself, he gave me some tips on the repair. Also, his prices are better than comparable mechanics in the area. 5 stars all the way.

-Boone H.
He knows his clients and treats them right. I really don't think you can do better. I won't bore you by extolling Kennan's Auto Repair's ethics, work ethic, competence, fairness, exceeding expectations (especially for people who have been going to someone else), but I could. While waiting for my work to be done (more quickly than estimated), I have heard Ken advise, diagnose, schedule repairs, ask after people's families, all within minutes. Some on the phone, some in person. Again and again.

-Bill H.
Great service, reliable, honest, and friendly!

-Luciana G.
Kennan has been by far the BEST auto repair ever. I took in my '99 Dodge ram 1500 and he provided me with reasonable upfront quotes in good time. Kennan got the job done in quicker time than projected and replaced a resistor which would have costed MORE, but didn't add it on!! I would recommend him for anything auto.

-Stefan L.
Keenan's has provide excellent pricing, practices and workmanship. It remains the only automotive troubleshooter I recommend in this area. I will be back.

-Joe A.
The skill level of the professionals in the shop are second to none. Do yourself a favor and have your car repaired by one of the best.

-Michael B.
...The guys are trustworthy (which is extremely important), as well as knowledgeable and personable. I would highly recommend this place.

-T.N.
Best. Mechanic. Ever. Kenny has been my trusted "car doctor" since 2008. I highly recommend him to all of my friends and they have all been very pleased with his work as well. Shop around and you'll see he's got competitive pricing, but honestly it's his ability to explain the issues and work with you to determine what needs to be done and what can wait is what keeps me coming back.

-Melinda S.W.
Simply the BEST!!! Kenny Dickerson was referred to me by one of my good friends Todd Kittrell. Todd told me all you have to do is meet him and talk to Kenny and you will know he is a good guy that does excellent work. He was 100% correct. I will put it like this; all my family bring their cars up to Raleigh from Goldsboro and Fayettville, NC for Kenny to work on when they need repairs. Again, simply the best and his prices are reasonable.

-Kenneth C.
...Kenneth's honesty & real integrity in doing the right thing is a rare find these days, he shows pride in his work and his reputation by taking care of his clients and guaranteeing that the work is done right! I?ll gladly & confidently refer family & friends to him, knowing that they?ll be well taken care of.

-Rae M.
Competitive, honest, thorough and timely! Keep up the good work!

-Naeem S.
Kenny is the best, whether it's my car my wife, he is always able to help. If my kids scooter needed repair he would be my first call

-Vincent H.
First of all, if you are in search of a mechanic, I say, look no further.There is no other place that I would take my car, my wife, my mother and my mother in-law's cars to. If you need a honest and truly knowledgeable assessment of any automobile problem, Kennan's Auto Repair is the place to go. I have never had to second guess any of the work Ken has done for me and my family. I live in Eastern Wake, so yes I wish his shop was a little closer. But I tell you it is well worth the drive.

-Donald B.
Great guy! totally honest, works fast and exceptionally well. I've gotten a lot of repairs done by him, and every time its a great experience. Wouldn't send someone anywhere else.

-Ben B.

When you need a professional, honest, courteous/friendly, reasonably priced auto mechanic....my recommendation will always be: Kennan's Auto Repair!!

-Karin K.
I have been taking my cars to Kenny for many years, ever since my daughter who is a manager at Auto Zone recommended him. He has always been honest and is quite knowledgeable. I have referred many other satisfied customers to him. He will tell you what the situation is, give you options and let you chose what you want to have done on your car. You can't go wrong with service like this.

-Randall M.
Ken is extremely knowledgeable about all types of vehicles; I am consistently impressed with Ken's honesty and willingness to go the extra mile. Truly the best of the best repair shop in the Raleigh/Garner Area; You will not find a better mechanic anywhere!

-Jeff S.
Kennan's auto repair is pretty spectacular. My car has a number of things wrong. Mr. Kenneth took his time to explain every problem. He also sent me an email with the same information. Mr. Kenneth is pretty awesome and knowledgeable. I asked Mr. Kenneth for his honest opinion concerning my car and be did not sugarcoat anything. He let me know up front but he also only fixed what I asked him to do. He did not try to pressure me into getting more work done. I have not picked my car up yet but I had to give my review. Excellent shop and customer service. Thanks again Mr. Kenneth!!

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
