PKE Automotive

I own two old Toyota pickups: a 1988 and a 1996. The 1996 had a severe oil leak at the oil pump drive shaft. I took it to three different mechanics, but none of them were willing to work on it, claiming it would be easier to replace the engine. The last mechanic suggested I bring the truck with a trailer and drive it straight to the junkyard. However, I brought it to Kip, and he knew how to fix it without pulling the engine. He did it in no time for only a few hundred dollars. Since then, I’ve had Kip work on both trucks extensively because he’s knowledgeable about what needs to be done and what doesn’t. There are many things to work on, but he only fixes what’s necessary and doesn’t try to upsell me into doing more than I ask. I don’t even bother asking for a quote anymore because I kn

Several years ago I was referred to PKE by two friends. Kip has become my "go to guy" for repairs. I used to do all of my own vehicle repairs and maintenence, but my age, and the complexity of today's vehicles has made me leave that work to someone else. That person is Kip at PKE automotive. He is honest and fair and will save you a lot of money on vehicle repairs.

I finally found my go-to mechanic shop! Honest, helpful, knowledgeable & competent. I got my car right in, and it was fixed perfectly, he even noticed that there was a light out, and he took care of it. Kip & Joan are a great team! I'm so happy I found this place! Thank you!!!.

1st time client. Very impressed with initial suggestions for my truck. I will have PKE perform my future work. Rates seem modest at this time. Recommend for an independent mechanic.

Even better service and support my 2nd time in! First time was just an inspection. This is my 'goto' mechanic and shop now! So happy I discovered PKE Automotive!
