Brett and his team are amazing. They are such skilled professionals. They were able to troubleshoot and pinpoint the many needs of my 14 year old vehicle. The repairs were perfect. My vehicle hasn't run this well in over a decade. Maddie in the office was so pleasant,knowledgeable and accommodating. I'm very thankful that I found this incredible business.

We have had K&B Auto take care of our vehicles for many years. Their knowledgeable and professional staff are a pleasure to work with. I have never been shocked by a bill, as they always let us know ahead of time what they recommend and what our options are. Their pricing is extremely fair. They are prompt and always perform their work in a timely manner. Whether it is our work truck or personal vehicles, knowing they take care of our vehicles with precision and efficiency, as if he was putting his own family in it at the end of the day is a peace of mind!

We've taken all of our vehicles to K & B for years, have always had exceptional service and have been treated with the utmost respect. I've even bought 2 brand new cars which came with free 2-yr maintenance service from Toyota, but chose to take them to K & B instead for all of their service. Excellent service, lots of integrity, and always at a very fair price.

After years of chasing the first available appointment or the lowest cost for car repairs and maintenance, I switched to K&B because they were good fellas and close to home. Am very glad I did. Honest, high quality work that keeps you on the road without the long list of "should do" items that so many places hit you with.

Fantastic to deal with, always get me in as soon as they can and they do fantastic meticulous work. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs work done. Our family takes all our vehicles to them and have never had an issue. When it was time for me to get in my first truck Brett made sure it was safe for a first driver as if it was for his own son. I ll never take my vehicles anywhere else.

Top notch shop, very knowledgeable techs. Had a dodge Dakota break down near Ellsworth after slight panic of not knowing many people in that area I was sent to K&B ("for the best around I'd go here"). Long story short Brett took the truck in after hours knowing my situation (I run a business escorting oversized loads all over the us, needed to move a boat the next day). After some short wiring diagnostic he found and corrected the issue. If you're at all familiar with mechanic work wiring can be the worst.(unless you know what you're doing). I live in Monmouth about 2hrs away and with bigger automotive issues with any of my 8 cars they go here. Also my dually goes every year for fluid film it's still the cleanest 08 you'll find in new England. I believe in your reputation being everything and I'd easily send anyone to them that wants quality job done. If you're looking for cheap just piece mail this together until next week.. you might want to find a different shop.

We have used them as the garage for our personal and commercial vehicles for many years. A++ service with fair pricing. We recommend them to any of our friends and business associates. We have used K and B auto for many years and have never experienced ANYTHING similar to the negative reviews here, so I can only assume that they are false reviews.

I have been a regular customer of K&B Auto since Brett's Mom and Dad started the business many years ago. Having retired a few years ago, I now have a small lawn care business. I also am an avid outdoorsman with ATVs and snowmobile toys. K&B takes care of all my repair and maintenace needs; everything from sleds to ATVs to riding lawnmowers and farm tractor and, of course, mine and my wife's automobiles. I like the personal touch when I'm there and have never had an issue. The quality of this business' service is unmatched in the area.

We were recommended this garage years ago for a kooky issue no one else could diagnose and we have faithfully used them ever since. Big or small, they are always helpful and fair. Whenever anyone asks, we always recommend these guys.

I cannot say enough about the business and the owners. They would do anything to help you out. We drove almost two hours to get vehicles looked at or worked on. Caring compassionate people. I highly recommend K & B Automotive!!!!

We were referred to K&B Auto by friends when we moved to the Ellsworth area in 2001. They have always been extremely accommodating, thorough, honest, reliable and fair. We would highly recommend them!

I am from out of Town and asked around for recommendations when I had an issue with my 2011 Jeep JK. It had an electrical issue that caused a PCU failure and was missing on 2 cylinders. I had done my "home mechanics" job of replacing obvious parts before realizing I was over my head. They quickly diagnosed my issue and repaired the problem for me for WAY LESS than I had anticipated. I then went back to them a few weeks later to do some custom suspension work and fabrication (New shock tower and lower mounts for coilovers, Hydraulic Assist steering ram and pump system, New HD Tie rod & Drag link, etc. I was EXTREMELY impressed with their attention to detail and to work around my needs. I am extremely picky and I cant say enough about their attention to detail and fair rates for the work. Highly recommended, expect a little wait as they are booked up for a reason.

We can't say enough good things about them. When we were stranded, they set aside other work to get to our broken motor home that same day. We were able to get our family back into our motor home for that night, and we know they stayed late and worked hard to make it happen. Truly amazing people!

I brought our church van in and found K&B to be both professional and fair. I don't think my experience was unusual for them. Nice people doing a fine job.

Wanted to have a steering box, idler, and pitman arm put on my truck because it was unsafe to drive. I normally do my own work, but I just replaced 4 shocks, catalytic converter, and exhaust headers and was willing to pay to have someone else do this. I had the parts but they refused to use parts I purchased. Customers save a lot of money buying their own parts. Saddens me to see a local shop only care about $$$ and not customers. $90 an hour labor is quite fair when you use book time to determine what customers pay not actual time.The parts I purchased were MOOG and AC Delco. OEM and a very reputable preferred brand by many customers. Because I am a customer does not mean I would select sub par parts at the possible expense of my or my family s safety.
