Comment : My car was having a shifting issue, and was throwing an error about the speed sensor (a part that costs about $60).

I took it to Kohl and described the problem and told them about the error code.

They instantly dismissed the speed sensor and told me the REAL issue is with my transmission.

They specifically told me they'd seen this problem before, and that they KNEW what the solution was, and that replacing the $60 speed sensor would be a waste of time and money.

They made some phone calls and told me the parts for the repair would run me nearly $2,000 labor NOT included.

Then I took my car to my regular mechanic, and he said the other guys were wrong (and trying to rip me off), and he simply replaced my speed sensor.

The problem was fixed, my car shifted properly again, and the fix cost me less than $200.

Kohl's had instantly dismissed the actual problem as a distraction, and tried to extract over $2000 from me to NOT fix the problem.

So if you like your time and money being wasted, these are the guys for you.

Comment : Today as it’s my first vacation day here in the area, my dog and I were driving around getting to know the area better. My truck began running “odd”, so I stopped by Torgeson Motors, where the Mayor, Kenny, helped diagnosing trucks issues. With his busy schedule he sent me “down the road” to Kohl’s motors where I was offered delicious coffee and my dog, Milly and I could rest in comfort while the truck was being fixed. After about 40 minutes, we were all set and good go!!!
I had the friendliest experience with the ladies in the office and the men working on my truck were efficient and quick and kind as well. If and when I decide to Move to the area; I’ll keep them in mind for any future mechanical issues.

Comment : Had a very positive experience with Kohl?s Motors! I was in a time crunch before starting a big road trip out of the area when I had an issue with a sensor in my Volvo. Gayle and her team took great care of me and replaced the part, looked for any extra issues, and sent me on my way within the hour, making sure I had a safe trip and made it on time. Quick, efficient, and effective. Highly recommend!

Comment : This shop is simply awesome. It is always a challenge to find a competent and honest mechanic shop and Kohl Motors is the definition of both. They are super professional, knowledgeable, resourceful, amicable and honest. I would never take any vehicle to a different auto shop. Highly recommended.

Comment : This was the first visit to Christian Brothers Automotive Westinghouse Road. I made an appointment and requested oil change, state inspection, air and cabin air filters. Dropped the car off and meet with Lance the Service manager. Gave me an estimate and told me they would contact be when vehicle was ready as well as send me updates which it was being service. They sent me texts letting me know the vehicle was in the shop, it passed inspection, oil was changed using synthetic oil, waiting for cabin air filter. I had received a text with a photo letting me know that the engine air filter looked brand new. I usually keep track of things like that but fail to note that I had recently replaced the air filter, my error. When I picked up the vehicle, the air filter charge had been removed. The service was outstanding. If you are looking for a professional, honest, competent, friendly auto service shop, choose CBA, you will be pleasantly surprised. My biggest regret is that it took me so long to find them.

Comment : there should be a negative stars rating option. if you want bare minimum work to be done (and that's still if your lucky) then this is the shop for you! I went in because i had damaged my driver side caliper from hitting a curb. i knew for fact that there was something wrong with the brake system and i wanted them to check it out. my fuel efficiency had plummeted by about half, there was extreme amount of excessive heat being produced, Loud high pitched sounds and also a burning smell had started. also wanted the engine and cabin filters replaced. and the mai sensor and valve cleaned because I had a sensor tell me something inside of it was getting stuck open which I figured was from carbon buildup or something. they only changed the filters. wouldn't clean the MAI sensor/valve because as long as whatever it was was getting stuck open then it wasn't a big deal they said. and as for checking my brake system, specifically my caliper, they seriously said my brakes were brand new and everything was fine! less than a week later I ended up getting a flat tire on that same.wheel and the place I took it to to replace the tires also replaced my calipers for me and my brake pads after questioning my intelligence level by asking how I didn't notice all the symptoms/red flags that something was wrong!! when in fact I did! but unfortunately I had taken it to an incompetent shop by the name of Kohl Motors that had reassured me that everything was fine. for shame, kohl motors, FOR SHAME

Comment : Dropped off my Mercedes for my scheduled service on Monday via night drop on Sunday night to have my check engine light analyzed. No contact until I called late Tuesday and was told they haven't looked at it yet, but hoped to get it in Wednesday. No contact until I reached out again late Thursday and was told that they hadn't gotten it in to look at yet, but maybe Friday. Four days after my SCHEDULED appointment and they couldn't find 15 minutes to connect a code reader to the car? I told them not to touch the car and I'll be in to pick it up. I will never return or recommend this shop. Unprofessional treatment of a previous customer.

Comment : Good mechanical work, but outdated/inflexible payment policy that unfairly impacts military families.

I recently brought my high-mileage 2008 Tahoe to Kohl Motors for some significant repairs—alternator, rear main seal, valve cover gaskets (including the updated driver’s side cover), and sway bar links. The quality of the mechanical work was solid, and the truck drives noticeably better.

However, the payment experience left a bad taste. I wrote a personal check drawn on USAA—a national bank commonly used by military personnel—only to have it rejected because it was considered “out-of-state.” My home address is local, and I’m a military retiree originally from this area.

What’s worse is the way it was handled: the person at the front desk (who is apparently one of the owners) even called the bank to verify funds while I stood there, but gave up and said, “they won’t talk to me.” I was left with no other option but to pay by credit card and absorb nearly $100 in added fees. Unless you have $2,000+ in cash on hand, you’re stuck.

I respect long-standing local businesses—I chose this shop partly for that reason and because they did some work on my truck earlier in the year—but this payment policy seems especially unfair to military customers. With a Naval Construction Battalion base, Keesler Air Force base, and Stennis Space Center nearby, many service members and retirees bank with institutions like USAA or NFCU. A little flexibility or a heads-up would have gone a long way.

TL;DR: Solid repair work, but if you’re military or bank with a national institution, be warned—you might be forced into using a credit card and eating the fees.
