Kirill (the owner) was not involved in repair personaly, he appointed entry-level technician to work on my car. That guy barely finished the repair in 4 hours (estimated time of the repair was 2.5 hour). But, Kirill charged me $85 an hour for 4 hours!!! (parts + $85 x 4hours + 8.5% tax). Few days later, the same problem with my car emerged again. I came back to his shop. He was talking nice, checked the cause of the problem, and finaly blamed me in what happened to my car. And again, charged me $85 an hour plus tax and full price for the new parts. For such money I rather took my car to the certifed mechanic on BMW Service Center. I feel myself foolish. Stay away from this guy and his shop! I believe that all previously written reviews are hoax!

Kirill, the owner, is an awesome dude! I ran into some issues with my right rear tire, a nail was caught in my tire, brought into my dealership, but was told i had to change the tire (which could potentially cost me a bomb, thanks Lexus! ouch) and the tire was non-patchable. But after reading the reviews on this page, i went ahead to give Kirill a call, brought my car in to KSH Automotive. As soon as Kirill saw the problem on the tire, he directed me to take a seat in the guest room, and said it'll take about 20 mins. When I asked him for the price quote, he went like "$15, can you afford it?" and smiling. It was amazing. He's very professional, reasonable and friendly. He's a very trustworthy business man I've ever met. To top it off, he has amazing team supporting him at his company. As promised my tire was patched within 20 mins, and worked perfect ever since. I highly recommend him to anyone and my friends. And I told him that he'll be assured to have my business from now on. Thumbs up to you, Kirill! Great job!

Pros: Timely, reliable, very reasonably priced, and high expertise

Cons: None

I do not know what car problems are anymore. I have not had any since I have been taking my car to Kirill (the owner of KSH Automotive). He not only fix existing issues with the care, which can be anything from simple oil change to problems with engine, but, like a good doctor, can also suggest what needs to be done in the future. He can give you a good advise when you buy a used care. My brogher wanted to buy a car and I suggested to take it down to KSH shop. He evaluated the total cost of repair and suggested not to buy it - which was a very wise advise. As a result we have found a better car that did not need as much repair work as the other one.

Pros: Good service, reasonable prices, high quality work

Cons: none

I have been fixing my car with Kirill (KSH Automotive Owner) for 7 years now. He was fixing my old Nissan first, then my Mustang, and now my Volvo. I had the worst experiences with mechanics before my friend introduced me to Kirill. I am so glad I found him. He is always nice and pleasant to talk to, very funny. Always finds the best deals on parts to minimize the cost. He also tells you what is going on with your car. He would say: "You need to change your brakes now. But your tires are still good for another X thousand miles, but you should plan to change them within the next X months." So he warns you of things to come, so you can budget. He always finds time for you even if he is extrememly busy. He will help you out in emergencies. His new shop is great. It has a wonderful waiting room where you can relax, read a magazine, watch TV or hook up your laptop. I recommend him to everyone I know. All my friends and family fix their cars at his shop. Check him out and you won't regret.

Pros: Great service, great waiting room, he even drives you to work if you work in the City.

Cons: None
