"Awesome Service & Reliable Mechanic!"
"My transmission was acting up so I brought it into Kern's. They inspected and confirmed that I needed a new transmission and they found that it was still covered under warranty! So they arranged to get it to the dealer to get it fixed under warranty! I like that they just took care of it for me! :0)"

Outstanding friendly honest fair efficient service
The people at Kern's work through the toughest problems with our car; clearly researching and explaining what we need. We care about our car-- so do they.

Great service, friendly people
I have been using Kern's for about a year now, and being a person with little car knowledge with an old clunker I worried about being taken advantage of. Everyone at Kern's has always been straightforward and even educational in explanations and not pushy in what work I chose to do. When I recently took it in and it wasn't worth fixing or safe to drive, they let me leave it there for a few days while I figured out what to do with it. I highly recommend them!

Best Auto Shop in Pierce County
I have a 2007 Ford Edge with 67k miles on the odometer. The car was purchased when my late husband and I lived in Mesa, AZ, Since m y return to Washington, Kern has taken care of my auto. I belong to Kern's VIP club which helps me maintain the vehicle. Thursday November 15th I took my car in for oil change, new wiper blades and get the vehicle ready for winter. Darius and Shyanne told me I wasn't ready for an oil change saving me money. That's why I will always take my car to Kerns. Anywhere else the oil would have been changed but honesty and integrity is the norm for Kerns.

Great Affordable Service
I’ve been having my truck serviced at the dealer because it was under warranty. My truck was due for a 60,000 mile service and I found out that I was able to get better service at the Kern’s for half the price at the dealership. Thank you Kern’s!!

Very Impressed!
I took my car to Kerns because I got tired of getting the runaround from the dealership, including paying for unnecessary things. They did an excellent job and were upfront about what needed and did not need to be done! Will not take my car anywhere else! Jo

Good job and very good turnaround time.
We are in the process of selling this car and replacing it with a Hybrid will you be interested in servicing these types of cars.

Friendly, Quick BG Transmission Service!
This was our first experience with Kerns Auto Care. They were very friendly and took care of the service very efficiently, quickly and we were on our way within an hour! Their BG service combined with their own warranty is a great way to take care of your car and drive it for years! Highly recommended!

Kern’s is a great place
All I can say is WOW!!! As an ex-mechanic I have the potential to be a really terrible customer. I know enough that I have a difficult time trusting any establishment because I know that the front desk and back shop don’t always have the same information or they may have a different motive. This was so not the case with Kern’s. It’s a smaller shop but everything is done with care for the customers in mind. I contacted Kern and got squeezed into his schedule to fix my air conditioning. Not once did I feel like I was being any sort of an inconvenience. I felt welcomed and valued as a customer from start to finish. Thanks Kern and staff for a great experience!!!!

Great job!
Office staff is helpful. I appreciate how quickly and efficiently Kern Auto completed the job. My family will continue to use them as our first line in Auto Care.

Quick and professional
I stopped by to talk about fixing my AC in my ‘11 Jetta made an appointment for the next day. Dropped the car off in the morning and picked it up after 12. Everything was explained clearly and written on the invoice.

Routine service
I had both my vehicles serviced at Kerns, great, timely service and a little bonus of the car swept and a water in my cup holder. Thanks!
