Suburban Auto Center

Very Honest Person. You would always receive Candid suggestion from him. He would not tell you anything just for selling purpose. You would love the experience.
Strongly Recommend that you do visit him. Very Trustworthy. Thumbs up !

Went in to get two new tires and finished within 35 minutes. Paid only for the tires and no labor. Ken and his crew are honest and respectable. I definitely recommend this place for your auto mechanic needs.

Ken was my mechanic. Polite and to the point. The prices were more than fare and he had a shuttle bring me back and forth. The location is out of the way and hard to find, plus the waiting room is not the most luxurios in the world. But his knowledge, price, and taking the time to talk to me out weighs the weaknesses.
Ken performed quite a few repairs for my vehicles.
1. New brakes on my BMW 645Ci. The BMW stealerships wanted around $ 1200.00 and Ken did it for $ 600.
2. New Altenator on my BMW 645Ci. The BMW #$&*%$#@ wanted $ 1600.00 and Ken did it for $ 450.00
Tires, brakes, or new engine; this guy can do it all. If you’re looking for a smart mechanic at a fair price, then Suburban Auto Center is the place to go.

I have been coming here for several years now. The Suburban Auto Center and Ken (Owner and Master Mechanic) and his staff are amazing! I have brought my car in for minor to major fixes, and they have always been honest about cost, and at times have told me to not make a change because practically it made no sense. Example (The car was due for an inspection. Ken came to my help in a jiffy. He plugged in the testing unit because one of the lights on the dashboard came on. The light went immediately off. I passed the Vehicle Emission Testing). It is hard to explain how truly classy, professional, & honest Ken & his staff at Suburban Auto Center are. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone, and have! If you are looking for amazing service, and have the feeling that other mechanics are lying to you, these guys will change your opinion for life. I don’t trust anyone to work on my vehicles except Suburban Auto Center.

I have been taking my cars to Ken for about 3 years. I’m 54, have a wife and three grown kids, and have consequently taken about 5 cars to Ken over that time period. I’ve also had just about every type of experience with auto mechanics one can imagine — good and bad. Ken is by far the most honest, cost effective, high quality, prompt and responsive mechanic I’ve ever worked with. The only way I’ll stop going to Ken is if he retires or I die! Otherwise, no one is going to touch my cars.

We used Ken for our 2003 Toyota Corolla. There were several issues to be resolved, some problems being unrelated. He fixed them all one-​by-​one with correct diagnosis each time and used methodical problem-​solving. The first issue, a failed starter, he ended up fixing for Less than his quote. Wow! We thought that was extraordinary. A few days later the car wouldn’t start. Of course we thought it was related to the starter but Ken wanted to eliminate other possible causes first. He offered to come out to us where the car was stranded with his truck to investigate and help us out. He suggested trying to jump it. He was absolutely correct, totally unrelated to the starter and we were able to take care of that problem on our own. Next, we couldn’t pass emissions. He methodically went through each fault code until two parts needing repair were handled. Still he had us try to pass the test between repairs, just in case. Nice to know he cares. Highly recommend this shop!

I chose this location for car repair based on reviews on Unilocal.I brought my car there for 3 different problems. I dropped it off and was told it would be looked at the next day and he would call me with an estimate. No one called for 3 days. I stopped back in to see what was going on and was told that one issue was resolved the best they could. I asked about the the other issues and Ken said he needed more time. I left the car there for 3 more days and never got a call. I went in to see and they hadn’t done anything and they needed more time. I told him to forget it and I would just take it out of there which I did. Fortunalely there was no charge.
I had much higher expectations based on previous reviews. I even asked him upfront if this was a job he could do, gave him more time than he said he needed, and I was still let down. If anything an occasional phone call with an update would have been nice.

Ken is the man!!! Excellent service, very knowledgable, my Fusion says thank you!

I first met Ken when I randomly took my car into his shop because I could not take one of the wheels out due to worn out threads. He took care of it quick and charged me very little. I could tell he’s a genuine honest guy. Seeing all these positive feedback on this man, I am not surprised a bit. This time, my car needed a brake job andn a synthetic oil change. Most shops will try to do more than necessary and ripping you off and I always end up paying a lot more than anticipated. Ken of course did only what was needed at a very reasonable rate. I feel very fortunate to have found this shop. I highly recommend this place.

Always ask for Ken! He will take good care of you and direct you where to go if he can’t fix it!

Had an electrical problem on my new car, the problem was that I was already 4k miles out of warrenty. Dealer tried to charge me 1500.00 to fix the problem. Brought it over to Ken and picked it up the same day. Price? $ 50 Ken saved me 1450.00!!! I will glady go back and refer anyone to this HONEST mechanic!

I stopped by this place this morning to get a flat tire fixed. Everyone was working in the garage when I arrived, and it took a few minutes for somebody to come out. They were friendly and quickly fixed my tire for a very affordable price! I would give them 5 stars for the price, but I checked the tire pressure and it was dangerously overinflated.

This morning, I noticed that my steering wheel would shake when I accelerated over 40 mph. Convinced it was the alignment, I took it here at the last minute. Ken took a look at it right away, and identified the problem as ice buildup in my wheel rim. He fixed it and I was on the road in 20 min — and he didn’t charge me a penny. I HIGHLY recommend Suburban Auto.

Great place to get work done on the car! Very affordable and friendly service crew. Only down side is it is tucked away off Milwaukee Avenue. Love this place, Ken is the best. Check this place out if your in the need.
