I brought my car to Kevin’s a few weeks ago because my engine overheated. The service I received was good enough, also it did end up costing double what they had originally quoted me. When I go to get into my car, I see a large dent and scratch on my driver side door. I take a picture of it and go in to talk to someone about it. I spoke with the owner, Kevin, and he was the least helpful man I ever met. We went out so I could show him the damage and hardly said anything and seemed to just be waiting for me to say it’s okay and leave. When I asked about getting it fixed he said he’d talk to a friend of his and he’ll be in touch. That’s the last time I was able to speak with Kevin. I had to call several times to try to get ahold of him because he never contacted me. Each time, an employee said he was away or unable to talk and each time I asked him to call me. He never did. Eventually, an employee told me that his friend would charge $500 to fix my door and he would be willing to pay $100 of that. That’s unacceptable. I left my car in their car and it was returned to me damaged. This is their responsibility to have to repaired. For the past week or so I’ve been continuing to call to try and speak with Kevin, and each time I’m told he’s not there and will call me back. He never does. The service I received was fine, they fixed my car and it’s running fine now. However, it is damaged and Kevin is cowering behind his employees instead of facing this situation. I’m very disappointed in this business.
Megan, I read your review and wanted to give my side of it which you provided false information. Your 2010 Mini Cooper you brought to us was overheating and you were happy with the repair. As the owner of the business I did go out with you to look at your vehicles damage you claimed. I inspected the door and you pointed out the door chips made from a car door resting on your door. You had said that the chips were not there before. I pointed out the dent by your mirror and you said it was there before and you were not really sure about any other damages. I kindly told you that we are not responsible for any damages (or theft) to customers cars which is normal operations of business. I explained all the other businesses that share the parking have experienced the same issue with their customers. I can not control these problems. I took pictures of your door damage. I told you that I would contact an business associate (friend) who owns does auto body repair and get an estimate for you. I did not call you back but had my service manager call you back with a quote of $500.00 to repair the door including fixing the dent that was there. I offered to pay $200.00 of the estimate (not $100.00 as you claimed). You told my manager when he contacted you about my offer that it was not acceptable and was not happy. Just to clear up a few more things, you have always had communications with my manager who was always there to answer your calls and questions. Not just an employee. Again he relayed the information to you for what I would offer to do. I didn't have to offer anything. We have signs on the building and printed on your receipt that states we are not responsible for damage out of our control. I am happy that we repaired your vehicle especially after finding one of the causes for it overheating caused by another repair shop previous to us. I am sorry I did not return your call personally. Due to my health circumstances ( I should not have to share with you) I stay at my residence and try to work from home. Reality is you won't accept my offer to pay almost half of what it would cost to repair and repaint your car door (including dents not caused by KAS LLC.) Then you want to personally attack my character online without some of your facts even being correct is offensive and immature. More or less you have a big personal problem. Suggest you grow up when handling business affairs with others. Please do not bring your vehicle back for anything regarding repairs. Your warranty is now void and your not privileged here. Kevin
