"My wife recently, Nov 2015, took her car to Kennedy Transmission for a vibration problem. The Kennedy Team quickly figured out it was the u-joints that needed replacement. They fixed the car the same day. They also replaced the serpentine belt to get rid of a squeal the car was making. We are very happy with the work performed. The price was less than expected, and the people were very curtious. The car is driving very smooth and the vibration is completely gone and my wife is thrilled."
"No distance is too far when you have a dependable and honest mechanic like Leo! I have known Leo and Wanda for over 20 years and will not let any other transmission service touch my vehicle. I highly recommend you see Leo at Kennedy Transmission!"
"I didn't even need to bring my SUV to the shop! I called the shop thinking I may need a new transmission cause it was acting up and after talking to Mark for about 10 minutes, he recommended me to start off with the basic (like checking my transmission fluid!). I ended up checking the dip stick and it was BONE DRY. I followed the instructions in my manual and ended up adding 3 quarts of transmission fluid. I called two other transmission shops and they were hesitant to give me any information over the phone and wanted me to bring my vehicle in for servicing (who knows what I would've had to pay). I am grateful for the service I received from Mark. Thanks buddy!"
"After taking our vehicle to the dealership several times with no results, we brought our vehicle to this Kennedy Transmission. Kennedy took the time to properly diagnose and fix the problem. They saved us approximately $2000 from the quote provided from the Dealership. We would highly recommend Kennedy to anyone who needs mechanical repairs. very professional, honest and courteous. Thanks!!!"
"Rarely have I encountered such professionalism in dealing with automobile service. It was a pleasure to be served by your fine staff. Keep up the good work!"
"A very experienced auto person suggested we see Leo at Kennedy Transmission since the type of cars we purchase have transmission problems. 3 that each had new transmission then off to Leo and 2 cars that were fixed each for under $ 500. The last service computer adjustments + new battery and all for under $ 500 . Car done in a day which was appreciated. They kept me informed and I can not recall people in back but they have been with this firm for many years ."
"I can't say enough good things about Kennedy Transmission. I ended up having to bring my car in twice and throughout both repairs, I was kept up to date on what was going on with the vehicle, they worked with me when there were items that I couldn't afford, they explained everything to me in a way that made sense, told me all of my options and gave me overall excellent customer service. They are extremely friendly, easy to work with, and willing to do what it takes to keep a customer. I would recommend them to anyone and will be returning to their shop the next time I need a vehicle repair."
"The service was excellent, other repairs were noticed and taken care of. Everyone is friendly and helpful, car runs great! I'm a very happy and satisfied customer."
