KO Auto Service

I’ve had my NY state inspection done here and tires replaced in the past. Smooth transactions and communication. I live nearby, so this wasn’t an issue for me, but there’s nowhere at the shop to hang out and wait, so be aware if you need to kill time. There’s a park across the street and various food and coffee places in the area.

Repaired my brakes and rotors same day for a good price! Honest mechanic will recommend!

It’s a shady business. I can seriously write a book about it.
My car was broken down on a Sunday, I used Big Time towing which was Big Time Mistake. The driver insisted me to tow my car to KO Auto Service. I checked Unilocal and saw it has a pretty good review, but that’s where my nightmare started.
The tow car was pulled over by a policeman and the policeman told me that this driver didn’t even have a towing license. I was shocked but I had no choice because my car was completely broken down. The driver dropped my car in front of KO auto service at a non-​parking area. He kept assuring that I will not get a ticket, and I took his word for it.
Next day, KO called me back and asked me about my car’s problem (btw he didn’t mention anything about my parking ticket). A few hours later he called me back and told me the car was fixed and the price was $ 440. so KO fixed my car without even asking my permission or gave me a price range. I was pissed but didn’t want any more trouble. They changed my alternator and battery and promised me they are brand new.
Two weeks later, my car was acting up again, so I brought it to another car shop where close to my place. I found that alternator is rebuilt NOT brand new. I also found out that I got a parking ticket! Thank god, I check my car record periodically. Otherwise I wouldn’t have known about it.
It was outrageous, so I decided to bring my car back to them yesterday. Per it’s website, it’s opening from 7 am to 1:30 pm on Saturday. I went there early morning and guess what, it was closed!
I’m done with them and I will NEVER going back to this place. So save your time, money, and trouble, avoid this shady place.

What a great shop, fantastic people. My car battery needed to be replaced and one of the guys came down, jumped my car and led me back to the shop. They were friendly, helpful, fast and walked me through every step of the way. Great guys and great service, they will now be my go to local go to auto mechanics.

After I needed my car towed due to a check engine light in my Volvo, the tow truck guy suggested to take me to KO instead of the Sears down in Brooklyn.
The best advice. Kevin and his team were not only honest about their findings with my vehicle, he gave me a decent price for the fix my car needed.
Anytime you have to fix a Volvo, it can be pricey. However, the team not only fixed my car in a timely manner, but kept my business in the future.
The only suggestion I have is to make a lounge area for customers.
I will be back! Support your local auto shop too!

Seriously an honest mechanic is as hard to find as unicorn but Kevin (the owner) might very well be the one honest mechanic in the business. For example I recently needed brakes, now in all the years I have been driving I have never met a mechanic who didn’t tack on the added expense of «shaving the rotors» before putting the break pads on. «Shaving the rotors» happened at every mechanic Ive ever taken my car to in the neighborhood for the past 20 years EXCEPT for Kevin. Not only did he not inflate the bill but he replaced the brake pads at a very reasonable price and they work great. To go to any other mechanic, besides a blood relative, instead of KO Auto would be a huge mistake. He fixed my AC when other mechanics were lying to me telling me it would entail taking the whole car apart for thousands of dollars. He fixed it in less than a day for a fraction of the price that the other crooks quoted me. My AC has been ice cold ever since and I cant stress enough how much less he charged than the other idiots who were telling me it could have been over a thousand, in the thousands, or just couldnt be done.
To go any where else in Greenpoint would be a mistake.

Great service, honest & fast. We drive in from Long Island to have Kevin work on our cars.

Friendly, affordable, honest… what more could you ask for?
