I'd like too personally thank this group for repairing my vehicle great customer service and also very knowledgeable staff and will definitely be a repeat customer they deserve way more than 5 stars I'd give them one thousand

This place is great. I took my car in the gaming estimate on the break. They got it done quickly and efficiently. I will be back the real deal. Thank you.

Top quality service. Timely turn-around. Honest. Trustworthy.

If I could leave less than 1 star I would. Franks been my elderly disabled widowed mothers’ machanic for many years, as well as mine and one other family member. But he just lost us 3 loyal longtime customers with all our vehicles for being deceitful, dishonest, overcharging, incompetent and ripping us off by paying $80 for a part that was not even installed (radiator overflow cap). When my Camero broke down on the highway, I had it towed to him. Tried to charge me $200 for a new oil pressure gauge I didn’t even need, and he didn’t even check the oil level in the engine first, or test drive it before determining that, and no computerized diagnostic test in his possession can measure that. He told me my brakes were good enough to drive it through the Appalachian Mountains and back. But my brakes went out in a torrential downpour high up in the mountains, causing a collision behind me. It was terrifying and people lost their lives as their car went off the mountain

Great People, Great prices. The most honest mechanic. Will always trust them with my car.

Absolutely top notch! The owner has always been super thorough and done great work! He is really patient with my daughter helping her get a better understanding of car maintenance and fixing the problems on her car in a timely manner. 10/10 would recommend!

Fast service, but highly overcharged the cost of the parts. Guy was wearing an AutoZone hat, and there's one across the street, so I'm assuming the parts came from them. Retail price is $299 for my fuel pump (invoice lists part number), Hembree's charged me $528 PLUS labor of installing it. I understand an upcharge, so they can make more money, but over $220 mark up is insane, especially when they already get discounted parts (no, they don't pay retail even!). When I called to ask about the upcharge, Glenn said "it's just part of business." Upcharging that much is part of bad-business, Glenn. I've came here before, several times, but won't be coming back, i'd suggest you take your hard earned cash elsewhere. Edit 2023: Since the transition from Hembrees to Kessler is complete, I decided to give them another shot, and I can't express how much better Kessler's team is compared to Hembrees! Scott is an excellent guy, thanks so much!

Good service as always. I told them what I was told was wrong, they recommended doing the diagnostic check just to be sure. So glad I did, because that was not what was wrong. I would of spent double the money to get my car fixed. They do excellent work and was even done sooner then I expected.


Dec 07, 2023

Had my oil changed with Kessler Automotive and had a great experience. Was in and out in 20 minutes. Staff was friendly and honest. It was a bit expensive but what isn't right now. Will definitely go back.


Dec 07, 2023

I have been to many mechanics throughout my life and have never had as GOOD of an experience as I have with Scott at Kessler. He is honest, hardworking, thorough, attentive, and genuinely cares about his customers. He’s reasonably priced and really goes the extra mile - truly ONE OF A KIND! I highly recommend!!!!


Dec 07, 2023

I paid $650 for a new radiator and now I'm having the SAME problem, but they want to charge me AGAIN to diagnose it.


Dec 07, 2023

Professional people. 😁


Dec 07, 2023

Scott has been SO helpful! He is knowledgeable and friendly!


Dec 07, 2023

Scott was amazing. He took care of my vehicle issue on a last minute notice, listened to my concerns and had the vehicle completed as soon as he could. Would 100% recommend Kessler Automotive. Now I know why our whole family has been going here for many years. Both shops are definitely outstanding.


Dec 07, 2023

They called and kept me up to date on what my car needed. Didn't take them long once they were able to start on repairs. Will definitely use them again if my car breaks down in wichita.


Dec 07, 2023

Did not meet my expectations about a good car repair business would not recommend


Dec 07, 2023

Thank you Scott for letting me in at the last hour on a Friday, and saving me $$$hundeds from a dealership by repairing my mirror. My Gucci tape wouldn't have lasted all weekend. I'm so happy to be close to such a honest and reliable autoshop. You have a customer for life.


Dec 07, 2022

Experience was great, they were friendly and professional as well as honest and transparent along every step of the way. Great work done by great people.


Dec 07, 2022

Mr. Hembree is professional, courteous , and will NOT do you wrong! We have taken our cars to him fo years and will continue to do so!


Dec 07, 2022

Fast service and fair pricing. Great guys who politely overlooked the drama. Definitely will use again.


Dec 07, 2022

I don't know how they're getting these people to lie for them the ones on Meridian they car salesman sent me to them so heat they can verify the car was good all they did was Lie they did some work on the car and still lied to me after keeping it for the weekend I would not recommend these people to fix a bicycle


Dec 07, 2022

Scott is amazing! He truly puts the customer first and communicates with you through the entire process.


Dec 07, 2021

Dec 07, 2020

My transmission suddenly quit shifting or moving after a few minutes of driving, ( it has a LIMP MODE, THAT RESETS THE TRANSMISSION AFTER YOU SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, ) I took it to them to find out what was going on. They called the next day and wanted to talk to me about the truck. They told me that the transmission needed to be completely rebuilt, and would cost me, $ 2500.00 ppllluuussss ++++ TTAAXXX, REALLY !!!!! :/ NO WAY....
