About Kenny's Auto Care

Kennys Auto Care has been a cornerstone of the Salisbury automotive scene for over two decades, earning a reputation built on straightforward communication and reliable craftsmanship. With an exceptional 4.9-star average across 82 verified client reviews, this family-oriented shop serves drivers throughout Rowan County and the surrounding Piedmont region, including Granite Quarry, Spencer, and East Spencer. Owner-operator Kenny Mitchell personally handles diagnostics, repairs, and customer consultations, ensuring every vehicle receives attention from a seasoned ASE-certified technician rather than a revolving door of transient staff.

What distinguishes Kennys Auto Care is an uncommon commitment to client education and transparent pricing that most metropolitan shops fail to deliver. Rather than immediately suggesting costly replacements, Mitchell routinely sources quality used components from regional salvage operations to reduce customer expenses, all while fully disclosing the savings. The facility maintains a clean, organized service area despite the logistical challenges of its location near a partially closed county route, and Mitchell regularly answers after-hours calls from stranded motorists to arrange emergency towing or next-morning priority scheduling.

Multiple reviewers recount specific scenarios demonstrating this personalized approach. Mark Powells truck required urgent brake attention on short notice, and despite the Shops closed status, Mitchell accepted the call, arranged a same-day appointment, and completed professional repairs at fair market rates. Corey Sands mentioned needing an airbox replacement that faced manufacturer backorders; Mitchell located a functionally equivalent used component at a salvage yard and adjusted the quote downward rather than allowing the client to remain uninformed about the less expensive option. Longtime patron Lynda Johnsons family has entrusted their vehicles to Kennys for years, citing his skill with both routine inspections and complex engine repairs as reason enough to recommend the shop without hesitation.
