K and B Auto Service is fantastic and the staff are very helpful and very honest. MR. Tom has been keeping my vintage Corollas running great for years. It's a great shop and it's nice to know that you are not being exploited for the repairs. Tom explains what he would recommend and then it's your choice. I have always followed Tom's recommendations and it's great. I highly recommend this great business!!

Honest with competent work at a fair price. What more could you want. They confirmed that several items recommended by dealership were not necessary.

Tom and his staff provide excellent service for your car. I have been going there for years. In fact, my brother drives down from Baltimore to get his car serviced there. My friends are very happy after I recommend K & B. Very friendly, honest and great prices, you'll understand why he is very highly rated when you take your car there. They will not try sell you anything you don't need. Highly recommended.
