K-C's Auto Repair

These guys are some of the best car care you can get in between Vegas and the Arizona border. I've been living in Boulder City and have brought my car to them a few times. I know a bit about cars, but there's a lot I just don't have the tools to do. They're good-humored mechanics and they do top-notch work. I do know enough about cars to know when I'm being taken for a run with my money; I'm a woman, and I've brought my car to mechanics before who charge me way too much thinking I won't catch on, or I have no choice but to swallow the price tag. Not such with KC's Auto. They're very good, honest, reliable mechanics (I know, kind of a misnomer, but it's true) - when I've brought my car in, they've given me really good price estimates for things, and if you shop around Boulder City at all you'll see they're much lower in prices than other places (like another place in Boulder City who charged me $95 to tell me they couldn't fix it).



In contrast, KC's Auto gave me a list of things I could get fixed and said they wouldn't charge me for looking if I brought my car back to them to get the work done. It took a month or so, but I did get back to them; since then, any other shop could've charged me at least $1200 for "necessary repairs", but KC's Auto has given estimates closer to $800, and been honest about what I've actually *needed* done, and when I should get it done (e.g. "You should get this replaced within the next 15,000 miles"). All things said and done, I've spent about $200 there; if I wasn't moving, I'd give them a lot more of my business, and I hope I can find mechanics half as good as they are when I do move. When something has come up that I haven't understood, they've been willing to explain it to me without being condescending; I'm sure if you don't have much experience with cars, they'd have a moment to tell you what's going on, and why, instead of giving you a price tag.



Really, I can't recommend these guys enough. If you need to get a car looked at and you're in the area, they're where you should go.
