Did great work on my 2013 Subaru Outback. Expensive repairs at a fair price, and was honest and clear about what needed to happen and what was optional. Had a great understanding of Subarus and knew some likely issues based on a quick phone call that other mechanics didn’t. Even sent me photos of what the problems were. 10/10.

I really appreciated how he took his time to explain everything he was doing and everything he found during the service.

Stephen is great. He always gives me great advice and has competitive pricing! Highly recommend him and his business. He is very upfront with his timelines for getting things looked at and fixed but usually has time to get things looked at quickly. Also his documentation is outstanding every service he sends me photos and videos of everything that could be of interest and gives you a print out of everything he noticed.

This was one of the most pleasant experiences I’ve had with a mechanic. Stephen was very clear in his communication, and I felt like he had my best interests in mind. He offered me the services I absolutely needed, and was honest about what additional things could be done but weren’t required so I didn’t overpay. Will be coming back in the future.

K&C is the best mechanic shop you can find in SF, they helped me get my car done in one day with a bad alternator. Friendly and nice people.

Called for an emergency repair and they were able to schedule me in next day. Steven is very communicative and professional. This place is a hidden gem. Thank you for your years of great service. Today may be my last time seeing you guys as I am leaving this country. It was a blessing to know you guys!

Hands down the best. On top of doing extremely high quality auto work, Steven and his team are honest, responsive, and fairly priced. They originally solved an issue for me that the dealership couldn’t: in the intervening several years of coming to Steven, I’ve never once been disappointed. 10/10 recommend.

Have been going to Steven for years, every time I walk away saying to myself, that is the best mechanic I will ever find. His team is excellent on all three fronts of expertise, communication and price. Cannot recommend this auto shop enough!

I've been going to Steven's shop for years now and I've had nothing but a positive experience. He's an honest mechanic and won't recommend unnecessary repairs unless they are truly warranted. He's very transparent and will often text you a photo of the part that needs to be replaced just so you can see for yourself. He's very flexible and on many occasions accommodated our last minute schedule in trying to get our VW in for a service. I wish they made more business owners like Steven.

If a job is worth doing it’s worth doing right…the dudes at k & c go above and beyond. Steven was busy at the front desk but chose to use text to communicate. I was able to send pictures and get diagnosed with an estimate. My serpentine belt was about to break and again in my opinion…. In a very professional, kind , and caring manner Steven made sure I was in the shop within a couple days. He even called me as soon as the part came in and offered to do it that day. If bed side manner was a thing in mechanics it exists here. Things have gone cold sometimes in the world and it’s hard to find a business that makes you feel appreciated as a customer. It’s a two way street… I’m very grateful for k&c and respect every bit of how they handled the business I brought to them. Pleasant vibrations despite being in troubled times. Prices are fair honest and upfront. Thank you so much k & c If I need it I know where to go

If you are looking for a trustworthy and competent mechanic, Steven is awesome. Gives full information and doesn't sell what you don't need (my car is a 2014 BMW428i).

I’ve been taking my Mercedes Benz and they are the best. Reliable and honest. Very informative before any work is done.

Love this place - flat $95 diagnostic fee for any issue, sends clear texts with explanation and cost estimate for repair, fast and reasonably priced.

Steven is exactly what you want in a mechanic - fast, honest, reliable and trustworthy! I’ve been going to Steven for two years for minor and major repairs - Will keep coming back!

There is a reason this auto-shop has so many good reviews. They the best - they communicate well, their pricing is fair, and are not trying to force you into unnecessary auto work. Cannot recommend them enough.

Thanks Steve and his knowledgeable Mechanics. I Recommend k&c auto services !!!

I have brought my 2006 Subaru Outback to Steven for many years. His shop has helped me maintain my car with great service and parts. He is very thorough and prices are fair and you will not feel ripped off or be lied to!

I rarely leave a review, but this place really deserves one. I came in with an alternator problem and they were very honest about the problem. Steven was genuinely so kind and funny to talk to and the prices were amazing for sf. I live in Southern California, but I honestly just might wait until I come up here for my yearly checkups. Definitely deserves 5 stars

Professional, thorough, courteous, kind.

Steven deserves my first ever Google review. Steven does a fantastic job. He’s super honest, knowledgeable, and has insanely good prices. First time I came to Steven several months ago for routine check up, all went well and Steven provided thorough notes about my car. A few days ago i brought my car in (2013 Infiniti) with a broken exhaust system and he and his crew fixed the problem the same day. Steven was able to refer back to the notes he took on my car and he noted I had significant rust on the exhaust system. If I had brought my car to a dealer or probably anyone else, they would have recommended I get a new $3k exhaust system. Steven assessed the situation, and determined the rust could be cut away and replaced with fresh metal. He and his crew cut and welded the job. Everything turned out great, Steven even documented the process with video and provided updates. Can’t recommend enough.

Today I dropped of my BMW after an emergency. K & C Auto service went above and beyond to assist. Received immediate service that put me at ease. Was provided with an estimate and I can’t say how nice and transparent they are. A ton of stress, after a bad day, has been lifted and day has ended on a good note. Thank you guys…I really appreciate your hard and professional work! Fernando

Very detailed, knowledgeable, and honest service. Steve is very good with communication as well, and documenting the condition of the vehicle. They are not the cheapest but not the most expensive in SF. I recommend this shop with high marks.

Gooood services, fixed my car as promised

Stephen and company did an excellent job on our Mercedes. Not only very knowledgeable but listens to concerns well. We had a transmission issue which he diagnosed and resolved but also let us know full diagnostics of other potential fixes of things that are wearing low, but didn't force us into any unnecessary repairs. Definitely recommend for these frustrating european cars, Stephen is your man

Steven is honest, fast, remembers my wife and I and our Mercedes. I’ll go here over the dealer even when our car is still under warranty first. Can’t recommend enough.
Nov 08, 2021
The first time he did a nice job, but on my second visit he acted lazy- like he did not want to do the job.
Nov 08, 2021
This is truly the best auto shop I have ever visited. I had an issue with my car where it was making a very loud rattling noise. K & C was a savior. They went the extra mile to accommodate me on short notice when they didn’t have to, gave me a quote for diagnostics before I could even ask, and even sent me photos and videos of what they were finding In real time. Amazing value too so I want everyone to know to go there. I worked with Steven and I have never met anyone better work with in business. He was transparent, super knowledgeable where he could even explain mechanics in plain language to a novice like me, and fixed my car up at an amazing value. If you want you and your car and treated perfectly and at a great price go to K & C!

Stephen is thorough, smart, and reasonable. Very communicative too, and helpful for any non-professional to understand what is going on with their car. Highly recommend. I have a Toyota, for what it’s worth.

Steven is what everyone wants in a mechanic - honest, fair, and efficient. Great sense of humor too. I have been going to him for 7 years here and at his previous shop. He works on everything from older cars with character to new BMW/Benz, I have brought both to him and have had the same great experience.
