I can't recommend Imperial enough. I am a retired auto mechanics teacher and know what a competent shop should be like. Kevin is honest and skilled at keeping my 2005 Honda Accord in good shape.

Kevin is on top of it and super easy to deal with. I work in the automotive industry myself and Imperial is one of the few shops I would highly recommend.
Recently I needed some work done on my 2007 F-150 and they got it done on time and under budget.
Consider Imperial a Michael-approved Five Star auto repair facility. Probably not as valuable as Kevin's ASE certificate but close enough.
Happy Holidays!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - David B.San Francisco, CA031May 15, 2023
Kevin is so easy to work with, figures out just what needs to be done, and doesn't tack on a bunch of unnecessary items. Quality work and the right price. I would take any car to Kevin, new or old. He's worked on my Toyota many times and always fast, efficient and available.

Needed maintenance for my Mercedes Benz C250. Kevin is a pleasure to deal with! Honest, fair, and efficient. Does the work that needs to be done (nothing more) in the time promised. I referred a friend with her Range Rover and she's just as happy with his work as I am! I highly recommend Kevin and his crew!

I will keep this very simple and to the point. I was referred to Kevin and his shop. I brought in my Honda Civic which has 140k milage. I was looking for someone to do some updates on my car. I was quoted thousands of dollars from popular chain shops. Kevin had a look and I walked away spending 250 dollars on a few things including a 3x transmission flush. He told me that my car was in excellent condition. He also gave me a very fair estimate for getting my AC running again. I was so happy with him and his technicians. He had a perfect opportunity to quote me very high, but he didn't.
I ended up taking in my car in a week later to have him do the AC. It was fixed and at a very good price.
Its obvious Kevin is an honest guy wants to keep peoples cars running.
I will be bringing my car to him for everything including oil changes from here on out.
Thank you Kevin and your shop!!

I have been bringing my cars to Kevin for the past 5 years. Kevin is a great guy and has always done an excellent job on all my vehicles at a fair price.
It's reassuring to know that the work will be done properly without worrying about getting ripped-off. No need to shop around for another mechanic.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Alison L.San Francisco, CA2789Dec 7, 2020
