Kenn's Auto Repair
2701 S. Ridgeland Ave.
(708)484-2445 or (708)484-2488 fax:(708)484-2455
This is one of those recommendations that will pay off for
years down the road! (please pardon the pun) Everyone is
always looking for a local auto mechanic that they can trust
and they know will do a great repair job... Well, this is
the place! These guys are smack in the middle of town,
they have great customer service, they do quality work
without feeling like they are taking advantage of you...
and to top it off, they have loaner cars! You don't find
that very often any more. If your car is in the shop for
a couple of days, they will lend you one of their cars until
everything is taken care of. All they ask is that you fill the
car back up when you are done. This alone can save
you a bunch of money and headaches when you least
need it. Give them a try the next time you anything from
an oil change to some transmission work...
You will be glad you did for years to come.
