Keith’s Automotive in Canton is amazing! I mean, how many auto repair places get that many stars?
TLDR: every other shop I’ve been to has tried to overcharge me or have me get unneeded repairs. Keith’s charges a fraction of the parts and labor costs others do and absolutely will NOT do repairs that are unnecessary just to make a buck.
EXAMPLES (just two from the MANY times I’ve taken multiple vehicles there):
1. A different shop told me I literally had thousands and thousands of dollars of repairs that HAD to be made immediately or my car was going to wreck soon. (I had only bought tires from this other location, but they “looked” underneath while they were changing them.)
I (thankfully!!!) decided to take it to Keith’s, as I had been there previously, and he was extremely honest and with fair pricing. I gave him the laundry list of what I was told needed done, knowing full well I couldn’t afford it nor would it make sense since my car is only worth MAYBE $2000.
He assessed my vehicle quickly, as he knew I had to wait at the shop as I had no other option. While he could have given me a quote for every single item as I wouldn’t have known any better, he told me that every “issue” they listed I could probably get at least one to two thousand more miles out of! He didn’t charge me and gave me massive peace of mind!
2. My car had the thermostat go out, which a shop (closest one at the time, as my car was overheating within less than five minutes every time) tried to charge me about $300 for the part and labor, as my thermostat was the kind in a casing, which is more expensive and labor-intensive to replace.
Again, thankfully, I decided to stop-and-go to Keith’s, no matter how long it took me to get there (typically maybe a 20-25 min drive; took at least an hour with all the stopping to cool the engine enough to go again - WORTH IT).
Keith took a look (he’s seemingly ALWAYS in the shop; impressive!), said he’d order the part, and have it ready to go by the next day. No matter how much it was going to cost, I had no choice but to get it done.
When I got a ride back the next day to pick up my car and find out how many limbs would need to go in order for me to pay, my final cost? Eighty dollars ($80)!!! The part alone was almost that much at Auto Zone!
As Keith seemingly charges cost (or close to it) for parts and charges ridiculously low for labor, I can assure you that it’s his honesty, reliable work, and quick turnaround that keep him in constant business!

This shop is always busy but I have never one time had an issue getting my vehicle fixed and returned to me in anything but timely fashion!! These guys are always in beast-mode! Their pricing is absolutely fair and competitive, they are very knowledgeable in their craft and have always been very kind to me and my family! Personally, I will not take my car anywhere else.

Hard to get an appt due to so many customers who have gone to Keith for years. They've always done a great job on all'of my vehicles with total honesty. Prices are similar to other shops, but the quality sets them apart from the others!
