Kennedy Auto Electric

Best auto repair experience in my 68 years. Marty is not only a great technician, he really cared about me, the customer. He found and fixed the problem fast. A secondary problem of a sticking vent door caused him to creatively come up with an agreeable solution. His solution saved me $ 700 – 800 over a straight replace the old with a new. Thank you!!!

Picking up my 1977 bj40 land cruiser today from Marty at Kennedy auto electric. All I have to say this guy is the best. Quality and customer service can’t be beat. I only wish they did more than just electric because you don’t find reliable, trustworthy businesses like this everyday.
Thanks for everything Marty!

Our turn signals and emergency flashers stopped working.
A quick internet search revealed the most likely cause was the signal relay in the fuse box.
I know from experience a little bit of internet knowledge can cause a lot of harm– There are 2 things I don’t mess with– Electrical and plumbing problems. Thankfully Marty is the man available to service auto electric problems. He confirmed the problem was the relay which served my ego — and then took the trouble to inspect everything else to insure we were good to go– Including checking the fluid levels. All at a very reasonable price. Many Thanks Marty!

Marty is THE most knowledgable, kind and trusting person I have met in this line of work. He helped me troubleshoot an older (OBD1) PCM issue and provied an affordable solution. One thing he mentioned really stood out, and that is, he always wants to find the «why». He will work until he finds it without taking shortcuts or short term «band-​aids». Getting down to the root cause of an issue is his passion and he does it very well. As a customer, I can rest assured that he found the issue and solved it. No doubt I will use him for any electrical needs in the future.

Wow!!! This place is a gem. I would recommend this place to everyone.
I’m going again if any electrical problems happen again on my car. Thanks

I don’t let anyone touch my car except for my mechanic. Unfortunately my mechanic doesn’t do AC repairs. So when my AC went out he recommended me here and told me to ask for Marty (the owner).
People like Marty are hard to come by when it comes to car repair. He is very upfront and genuine. I got quoted two times. Once for the initial diagnostic and second time for the actual repair. He charged me less than the quote both times!
I’ll still be going to my original mechanic for all other repairs, but as far as AC and electric goes, Kennedys is my go to!

He was the only one in town who could diagnose and repair the tail light problem with my SUV. I didn’t want to go to the dealer and had been to several shops in town without getting it resolved. Kennedy keep up the good work!

Brought in my 70 Dodge Dart and Marty restored all my lights. Glad to know I have an electrician I can always go to now.

Excellent customer service. Marty understood my need to put my service van back on the road ASAP and had a new AC system installed and cooling in one day.

Restoring a 1967 VW Karmann Ghia and needed some electric work. Marty really cares and takes the time to explain.

I took my 68 D200 to Marty and even though I arrived late due to car problems he still worked on my car and finished in one day. He is very professional and extremely knowledgable. I would recommend his services to anyone! Thanks Marty!

Marty deserves 10 stars… I had smoke rolling out of my dash and I needed major electrical help on my 1966 Chevelle 396 SS I had just bought. It was obvious that electrical work was not the previous owner’s/restorer’s strong suit. I am big on customer reviews and Unilocal,and knew immediately when I met Marty that he was the right guy for the job. Marty took great care of my car, found and fixed the dash problem on the first day. I gave him free reign and an open checkbook to work the entire car and I am so glad I did. He fixed my gauge lights, dome light, license plate light, added the missing lighter socket and updated all the wiring around my stereo. He also brought all my engine wiring up to code. I can not stress enough how good he is. Make sure you call first and schedule an appointment. He is a busy guy and only has a two stall shop. Definately 10 stars!!! Thanks Marty!

This place is great! They went to a huge amount of effort to deal with my ’77 280z and charged much less then they should have. fixed the A/​C and some electrical issues. The car pretty much hadn’t been driving in years and had all original parts they hunted for weeks to find what they needed. Awesome. My only note to them is they could charge more and we would have paid it.

My heater fan was making a terrible racket. Of course it started making the noise right before a trip to mountains. South Cal Smog Test recommended Marty — whose right next door. Marty took the heater fan apart, couldn’t find anything wrong but after putting in back together the heater fan no longer made any noise!!! On top of that he said no charge! I’ll be bring in my car for any electrical problems to Kennedy Auto Electric and telling my friends!

This place is great. Spoke to Marty but a young irish kid actually did the work. Very happy with the results. Basically had a bunch of old non functioning wire (former alarm, cell phone) pulled from the dash. Really cleaned things up a lot. Great value, good customer service. Place is a little tough to find and parking stinks… I recommend Marty to anyone with an older car and tough electrical problem. Marty will get it fixed.

I also heard about Marty from Ben over at Autowerkstatt, who doesn’t work on VW’s. Marty fixed our car, whose headlights were randomly turning on and off (which made driving somewhere at night impossible) in just 3 hours by replacing the ignition switch. ($ 274 labor & parts) He also noticed and replaced a couple of brake lights and a blinker which had been blinking at 3x the normal speed ever since having our car fixed for something else at another place, and he straightened out my bent key. I’m really grateful for his helping us have a safe car again. And it was really nice dealing with someone for once who didn’t seem shady or who tries to sell you stuff you don’t need or who breaks something on your car so you have to come back. He took the time to explain everything and seemed like a sincere guy.
Thank you!!!

Took my older model (2003) german auto here upon recommendation from the man at German Autowerkstatt. I was having electrical issues and desperately trying to AVOID the dealership. I called for an appointment and was told to bring it in on Monday. Upon entering Kennedy, Marty greeted me with a smile. He graciously explained that sometimes these problems are the kind where only the dealership can diagnose/​fix, but that he would do his best. I left my car for the day and was called a few hours later with some not so good news. Marty said it was a type of module that he was unable to fix. He told me he spoke to his good friend, a master mechanic at the dealership, who told him to have me come in and ask for him by name, and I quote «so the dealership doesn’t try and sell you something you do not need». So, even though Marty at Kennedy Auto did not fix my car, I found it necessary to rave about the service I received. On top of that, he only charged me for 30 minutes of labor ($ 42), when I know he must have spent a lot more time on it than that! I absolutely plan to come here in case (and I hope not!) my car has anymore electrical problems.
