Very pleased with the whole process from initial contact to finished product.

We were very satisfied with the entire process of having our car repaired at Kerns. It was a pleasure working with Bryon. Bryan asked a lot of upfront questions to understand our wishes for the repair; gave us a fair quote for the work; recommended a rental car place; called us frequently with updates; finished ahead of schedule and with a final price less than the quote. Workmanship was very good.

Customer Service

Bryon was very good through the whole process. (See previous notes)
