I had squirrels eat through the wiring in my Toyata Camry resulting in all kinds of problems. They were up front about possible total tepair costs and sought my permission before starting work. In the end the ECU (electronic control unit) was damaged requiring replacement. $900+ $375 for the part & programming from the dealer. Ken was able to source one for less than half that amount and get everything done for about $750 less than I was expecting and budgeted for. I would recommend this shop to anyone.

They re a bunch of real alright guys. The kinda mechanics you look for instead of the brand name rip offs. Happy to have found em and will certainly be back for all of my car needs.

Ken is the real deal. He can troubleshoot your vehicle, figure out exactly what needs to be fixed, fix it for a reasonable price and get you back on the road in no time.

Charged me $50 for an estimate on top of the $80 for the oil change and quoted me thousands for low-cost parts. Said I wasted his time reviewing this car for one day overnight, but he couldn't give me a quote for thousands until he had my car overnight: see the gimmick, yet? Get the picture? On top of trying to rob me (a young buck who looks like he doesn't know what he's doing), he was snappy with me, too. The man will literally take every advantage he could on a customer.Service: Oil change

This is the best independent repair facility I have ever been to. For over 20 years I ve been taking my cars to Ken at Somerdale Automotive. He has repaired and serviced my Land Rover, Volvo wagon, Volvo hybrid , Volkswagen diesel, And two different Jaguars over the years. Honest and reliable are two words describe Ken.After reading two negative reviews I can not believe they true. I know many people don t want to pay for quality and try to get something for nothing. I use synthetic in all of my cars and high quality oil cost money. There are a lot of shops that will rip you off and try to sell you things you don t need. Somerdale Automotive is definitely not one of them.I trust Ken emphatically!Services: Exhaust, General repairs & maintenance, Steering & suspension replacement, Auto A/C recharge, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Tire rotations, Auto A/C replacement, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Auto battery maintenance, A/C installation & repair, Auto maintenance, Oil change

Both my car and my son s have been here for car repairs. Ken was always upfront with me about any costs. Didn t try to upswell when I took it in for oil change like dealerships do. The price was exactly how much a dealership charge, but with great customer service.Services: Auto emissions testing, Auto brake replacement, Oil changeServices: Auto emissions testing, Auto brake replacement, Oil change

This place is a total ripoff. Be sure to get a firm estimate in writing before you allow them to perform any type of service on your vehicle. They just charged me $123.75 for an oil change and tire rotation, with no indication that it would cost so much. You would think that an up-front estimate wouldn t be necessary for such a small and routine maintenance job. And when I questioned it upon picking up the vehicle, he claimed that it was so expensive because they used high-mileage synthetic oil. Outrageous, no oil change and tire rotation costs that much, it s twice what a dealership would charge. I ve had good service from them in the past, but this experience was ridiculous, from now on I m taking my business elsewhere.Services: Tire rotations, Oil change

I can t believe I allowed this man to rip me off again. Will charge you for services you did not ask for without consulting with you. He is so crooked that he no longer have mechanics working for him. He really needs to be reported to BBB in which I am about to do. If you like to lose money please take your vehicle there.Be extremely careful. Ken will charge you for services you did not ask for or require and will give you a ridiculous reason why. In addition, he does not inform you of the extra charges before he does them which takes away my approval rights.I gave him the benefit of the doubt the first time. NEVER AGAIN!

I have been going there for many years. It is not the cheapest place in town but Ken makes sure your car is fixed properly the first time. I took my daughter's car there before she took it to college for a safety check because I know he is very thorough.

Ken always does a good job.And gives it to you straight about the car and cost.BEfore he orders it. Fair uh? I'd say so!

The owner had the audacity to try and charge me $70 for taking a nail out of my tire. He said it was because his tire sensor reader cost him $3,000... as if that matters. I ve had it done in other places for under $20 and the sensor readings were always complementary. Nonetheless, $70 FOR A NAIL IN A TIRE? What a joke, I would advise anyone to not go there.
