K-C’s Auto Repair

Very honest and reasonable.

I have been going to KC’s for all my automotive needs for about 19 years now. They are a group of honest and trustworthy guys. They are fair priced and kind as well. My last instance was an exhaust leak. Mazda wanted 750 $ for the part that I needed. Parts and labour would have been close to a thousand dollars. They guys at KCs sent me to another shop in Henderson that dealt specifically with mufflers and exhaust. They sent me away when they could have reeled me in and made a bundle off me. I will continue going to this shop and I highly recommend it to anyone for any mechanical needs.

I learned about this shop through a family friend. My boyfriend and I had just bought a car, and we needed a place for it to get smogged.
We live in Silverado Ranch so it is a bit of a drive, but well worth it! It passed and we got it registered at the DMV.
A couple weeks later I noticed it started blowing hot air out the A/​C. I called them for pricing, and although they didn’t give me pricing (number of things could be wrong with the A/​C!) I decided to drive down there anyway, since they treated us well last time!
Upon arrival, I told the guy, Bill I believe was his name, that I had called earlier and he said, «Oh yeah I remember you. The thing is, that kind of stuff you usually have to set an appointment. We’re really busy today. but let me see if [so-​and-​so] can at least take a look.»
The mechanic pulled in my car and started at it!
He put freon into the car, and also put a tracer dye so if/​when it leaks out, they’ll know where the leak is so it’ll be easier/​faster to fix! They also explained that A/​Cs are a sealed system so when it does blow warm/​hot air, it’s got a hole/​leak. I’m a girl that doesn’t know much about cars, so it was nice for the small educational lesson!
I got to talking with the guys, and they said themselves: usually a small town shop like this will be up front and honest, because for the most part, their clients are local people they’ll see everyday at the grocery store or school game and they wouldn’t want a bad rep!
It took about 20 minutes all together and I was set… FOR BEING A WALK-​IN! They are awesome guys there!
I HIGHLY recommend this shop, as you never know who to trust and who is is gonna rape you for hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, especially if you’re a woman that doesn’t know squat about cars!
Unfortunately my car is blowing warm air again, but that means it has a leak somewhere, so I’m going to call them today to set up an appointment… don’t wanna die in this Vegas heat!
It can be a long drive to K.C.‘s depending where you live, but I can assure you, you’ll know you’ll be treated fairly and won’t have to worry about getting ripped off like ⁹⁄₁₀ of shops out here in Vegas.

I was traveling on a road trip and discovered I needed some fluids topped off and that I had some «other» engine needs to be attended to. I was at a gas station on a major road through Boulder City… and I felt that I needed someone to look at stuff before I headed through the desert. I asked the guy at the pump next to mine and he said «follow me». He took me to K&C auto, only a few blocks away. There were a couple of guys chatting and having a cup of morning coffee when we pulled up. He explained my situation and asked if I could «leave me car»… um… no. I explained further. I very nice gentleman proceeded to open the hood of my car and shake his head and smile. He immediately realized that I was a female, unknowledgeble of car stuff. We got into a very good conversation and before I knew it he had topped off all my fluids, filled my tires with air, cleaned my battery posts, checked and filed my oil, explained the extra hose that lead to no-​where really was ok and most importantly told me what work needed to be done soon and what I needed to do at my next maintenance…
When it was all said and done he said «ok, you’re all done!» I asked what my damaged would be and he said «nothing». I was floored. NO KIDDING! Wow! He could have really charged me a ton. I was mentally prepared for the «raping» that could have occured. (ok, bad word).
Anyways, I was so thrilled, I gave him a hug and spilled his cup of hot coffee all over my feet. DAMN! I felt so bad. I offered to buy him a cup of joe but apparently he had a full pot in the office and did NOT want whatever I would have been able to come up with.
What a great guy! Believe me… if and when I ever get near there, I will look him up.
I plan to send him a box of ‘goodies” (homemade expresso brownies!)
If the world was filled with more good samaritans (a.k.a. guardian angel) we’d all be better off.
Thank you. For being you.
