About this business

Dan Kern is the sole owner/operator of Kern Motors. He's one of those rare mechanics you would take home to meet your mother. That would be weird of course but the point is, Dan feels like family. He's a fine fellow from fine stock and he does a damned fine job 100% of the time. If Dan can't fix it, it was never broken!

Hired Kern to perform a presale inspection on a domestic used car. He glanced at the paperwork I took from the dealership and immediately told me not to buy the car, Then for the next hour he gave me an education on small, soft alloy engines, with high compression turbos. He discussed coolant and head gasket issues. He wouldn't accept payment. Back on the mainland, I will now buy a non-turbo Subaru.

Made an appointment and brought in a vehicle explicitly for an engine part replacement. A few hours later I got a call that I better come in and talk cause this vehicle had a big list of problems. I listened to Dan tell me everything he’d found, including an engine overhaul. Now, I hadn’t asked for a vehicle inspection but I paid him the $140, even though he never changed the part I asked for.

Had a great experience with Kern for my 2015 tundra. They did an assessment, alignment and also gave me a bunch more information. Going above and beyond what I originally came in for, provided info on the wear and tear of some of my vehicle parts too. Provided a curtesy car too. I will definitely be back when I need work again.
