I started using KB motors in 2003. Tim did outstanding work. And Tim stood by his work. Tim was inexpensive. The best shop in town. Tim no longer owns KB Motors. i have no idea what the shop is today. read more

Tim Trojan sold this shop at the end of 2024 to an employee named Jason. This was a huge mistake that has affected his former customers. Trojan was a personable owner liked by the whole community, and a very knowledgeable mechanic who would go out of his way to help customers. The new owner has just put in family members to work for him, that know even less about fixing cars then he does. I recently took a truck in to have the driver door window fixed. After the employees fixed the window, they gave me my truck back with the inside of the door panel hanging loose. They did not even bother to tack it back on when they finished the job. This went from a 5 star auto repair shop to a 1 star shop in one short ownership change. It's too bad really because Mr. Trojan was really a nice guy. Now, his reputation takes a hit for selling the business to these clowns. Larry Carli read more

I dropped my car off on a Thursday. I was told it would be looked at on Friday. I had to be the one to call to get status updates. I was quoted one price and when I was able to pick my car up a week later, the price was significantly higher. I was told it was because the price of the part was more expensive and when I was shown the invoice, he covered up his price and only showed the price he charged. I always try to support the small business owner as I could have paid much less at a larger automotive chain. I felt like the right thing to do was to honor the price quoted. He was steadfast in charging the higher price. read more

I've come to K-B Motors for decades when Tim owned the shop as he provided amazing service. This was my first time back with the new owner and sadly it was a less-than-ideal encounter. The shop didn't do one of the services I asked for and then did another service I didn't ask for or approve of. I miss Tim already, it seems it's time to try our other local community shop, Evert Automotive. read more

We always used A Auto, which used to be in College Glen but moved down past 65th. It was a great, reliable, reasonable place for car repairs, until it was sold first of the year. Now they , and overcharge. They bid $179 to "diagnose" my check-engine, which I had already scanned to an O2 sensor heater. (You only need a $15 scanner!) Plus probably $250 or more to fix it. I called a few places, and $150-$180 diagnosis was the norm. But I call KB, and he says, "$155 to diagnose, and if it's the O2 sensor, that includes installation, unless we have to remove a bunch of stuff." That's more like it! It was 4 days to get an appointment, dropped today at 8 and done at 4! No upsell, only $155 labor plus $88 for the part (a good brand)! $259 out the door! Their shop rate is $150/hr. The owner, I missed his name, has been there 36 years. He kinda looks a little biker, with long hair and a gruff voice. But honest, and efficient. Thing is, an O2 sensor heater is self-diagnosed, because we know from the heater code that the wiring is good! So, charging for diagnosis plus install is a rip off. It may be par for the course elsewhere, but not at KB! They are our go-to place now! read more

I've been taking my vehicles to KB Motors for many years and I will continue to do so. Friendly, reasonable, reliable, and honest.... Yes HONEST! read more

Needing an oil change and wanting to try some place a little closer to home, I had heard about KB Motors from several neighbors. I called and made an appointment for a Friday morning. The staff were kind and honest about all of their prices; they only made recommendations for what was absolutely necessary. Besides an oil change, I ended up needing new air filters for my car. All in all, I'll happily bring my car here for my standard oil changes. read more

We found KB Motors through a friend and they have been amazing every time we've needed cars worked on. We always get scheduled for soon after we call, drop off is fast, we hear back from them a few hours later, repairs needed are explained and pick up is fast and easy. We are very happy to have found a mechanic who we can trust and do not have to worry about getting taken advantage of. We just had some repairs done last week and it was the same positive experience as always. read more

Very dishonest people there. Manipulating the insurance companies. They kept my car for 4 days waiting to go to body shop. They claimed they were given wrong address. The body shop told me they drop off cars on a regular. read more

Very pleased with the work done by KB motors and the shop and business that Tim and his wife run. My mom's jeep needed an oil change and a look-over to make sure it's good to drive long distance--as in cross country from California to Florida. Tim was willing to take my payment over the phone (since I'm not local to Sacramento and my mom dropped the vehicle off for the work), and was willing to work with me and coordinate the work even though I wasn't the one bringing the vehicle in. When everything was finished, Tim talked me through the condition of the car and provided an assessment on its ability to make a cross country drive. I was so grateful for the honesty, and the quick turnaround on the work. I highly recommend you use this shop for your vehicle maintenance needs. read more

Great and honest shop. I come here whenever I need anything worked on for my car. The mechanics here work very well and quickly. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the work they provide. I came here recently for a tune-up up and what can I say besides wow, My car has never run this well in the over 2 years Ive owned it. read more

Tim and his team do great work at a very reasonable price. I've taken several vehicles there, including one which needed A LOT of work and have always been very satisfied with the repairs performed. I will continue being a repeat customer for a long time. read more

I've been going here for years. Great customer service and pricing. Have been and will keep going here.

Our Dodge 1500 has been kept alive and running for a long time thanks to KB Motors. They also did a great job inspecting our newly purchased Jeep Grand Cherokee which needed new tires that the dealership took care of. read more

I need the metal splash shield under my car fixed. It was a minor repair but wanted it done quickly so I could continue to use my car. KB motors was able to take my car in first thing in the morning and was done in the afternoon. Great service and great value for the price! It was my first time here and I will be back. read more

I found this place by mistake 15 or so years ago..I use to own a company they did all the work on my vans and my personal car. My motorhome and now my trailer..There is not much they don't work on.. They have worked omg my friends cars, and company trucks from my now work..Ethan Conrad Properties.He does all their service vehicles.. I recommend this place its a hometown place.. read more

I had a great experience at Kb motors. All I needed was my battery bolts tightened and Tim was a great help! Most car shops won't even look at you if they don't see money coming through their door. They definitely earned a new customer. read more

Tim & Cathy, the owner of KB Motors are honest and do great work at a fair price. They guarantee their work 100% for an entire year. I have been taking my vehicles there since 2003. There is no better independent shop anywhere. Tell them RICK THE CAB GUY sent you. read more

My father-in-law has been taking his car to Tim for years, so when my car needed an oil change and general checkup, I decided to check out KB Motors. Tim is as honest as they come. I have an older car that was burning oil, and he explained the best way to prevent damage. I never felt talked down to. The price is very fair, especially for the good work he does. read more

I've been going to Tim at KB Motors for years. He is honest and a great mechanic. His work is top notch! This is family owned and operated. It's hard to find a trustworthy mechanic now days, but you can't go wrong with KB Motors. read more

HANDS DOWN, THE ABSOLUTE BEST SHOP IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA!! Tim and his team are above and beyond helpful! Super honest and just flat out good at what they do! K-B Motors works on all the company vehicles at my job and they had always been so great, so my family started bringing our personal vehicles in for service. We could not be any happier with the work they have done for us! Truly a six star establishment! Perfect!! Thank you Tim and everyone at K-B!!! read more

K-B put some bushings in some arms of my old '66 Skylark for me. They did it quickly, at a fair price, and did an excellent job. They were pleasant to work with as well. In addition, there credit card machine was out of order that week, and although they didn't know me and had only my phone number, they trusted me to come back the following week to pay them (which I gladly did). Tim and the lady working the counter are very nice people (I did not speak w/ the mechanics). They keep a very clean an organized shop, too. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - Jesus read more

Their service is good,but they reset my total miles setup on the video screen, the total miles is disappeared from my screen,then I went to Honda sellers to ask them if there's anyway they can recovery it,they told me tthe man who maintain my car had already reset it,so it couldn't be recovered anymore!!I am so pissed off! read more

I'm that dummy that always takes her car to the dealership to have it serviced. Thanks to a dear friend's recommendation to take my vehicle to K-B Motors, I will no longer be that dum-dum with an empty wallet. Tim was friendly, honest, replaced my breaks and spark plugs in a timely manner. His prices were fair and didn't deviate from his quote. He even did me a huge favor by fixing my front bumper that popped out due to poor parallel parking on my part. He was also kind and patient enough to leave his shop open after hours for twenty minutes so that I could pick up my car. (It was the first rainy day of the year and the road was jam-packed with buffoons.) My only bit of constructive criticism would be to expand their hours; maybe open one day on the weekend or slightly extend hours in the a.m. and p.m. for those of us coming from downtown. read more

I had called and came in same day. To follow up on what the dealerships recommendations were to repair a leaking oil pan. KB motors couldn't find anything wrong with my oil pan. Offered to put my car back on the lifts to show me. He also very explained to me what may be going on with my car loosing oil and gave me suggestions. I will definitely be coming back here for service! read more

A woman responsible for auto repairs often rings: Ka-Ching ($$$) for many; however, I have found an honest repair shop that is willing to work on my 1992 Econoline Conversion Van and the prices are very reasonable. My van is not easy to work on and I appreciate the fact the K-B Motors is known for Truck maintenance and repair. I had a leak and it was noticable on the garage floor. Tim told me it was the screws on the transmission, they were not tight enough. Yes, I had work on the transmission done elsewhere and now will build a trusting & lasting business relationship with K-B Motors. Thanks! read more

Excellent Service, Honest People, and Timely Repairs. I would highly recommend this place to everyone! I was extremely impressed with the customer service K & B Motors provides. They keep you updated frequently on the service they are providing and do it in a very timely matter. They are honest and do not try to take advantage of the Average Joe. I have never been this impressed with a auto repair shop and could not say enough great things about them. You will not be disappointed at this establishment!! read more

Best mechanic shop in the Sacramento area. I've sadly had to take many cars there for numerous issues and not only are they professional, courteous, as quick as can be, and honest with pricing giving you no run around. Highly recommend this company if need honest and trust worthy mechanic Tim is your man :) read more

We own a landscaping business and we take our entire fleet to him along with our personal vehicles. Hands down the most honest, trustworthy, fair, and reasonably priced shop out there! Thank you for all of your hard work Tim! read more

We've been sending our autos to KB Motors since Ken Kerfoot was the owner, more than 20 years. Now the new owner, Tim has continued the honest mechanic tradition. They ask what your problem is, diagnose it, and make the repairs you only need. Their shop is a converted gas station however it is a refreshing change from the high pressure of auto dealers or other name shops that add and charge extra unnecessary items. If you ask Tim a question, he will give you an honest answer. read more

Rosa Tijero Hi friends in Sacramento, just a quick review on this shop. KB Motors fixed my car back in Dec/19th. They took care of me right away, very profesional, friendly, reliable and affordable. My car is running back to my expectations.Thanks Kathy and Tim =) read more

Best kept secret in Sacramento when it comes to automotive repair! Tim & Co are the best and don't charge you an arm and leg for repairs! Very friendly and fast! I brought my car in the morning for spark plug replacement and it was done by 2! He also showed me the old spark plugs which definitely had signs of failure. Thanks Tim! I know where to come to in the future in case my car ever needs any TLC! read more

Just arrived in Sacramento and needed an auto repair shop. Found KB Motors just off 50 and S Watt. Small business but very afforable. The owner, Tim, was very friendly and helpful. Fixed my brake problem in a reasonable amount of time and had me on my way. We are moving here and will use KB Motors for our auto needs. Very friendly and affordable. read more

WONDERFUL! Always tells it like it is, no sugar coating. Honest, great service, thorough. I've been bringing my vehicles to them for a long time, I wouldn't take my car to anyone else. read more

Honest shop that does good work. They are very responsive and have never tried to up sell me on any unnecessary service. I have used them for a couple of repairs and would go back to them again. They do great work and are fair priced. read more

K-B is around the corner from my house and has been for as long as I can remember. When it came time for an oil change, I thought I'd finally go and check this place out. When I called to make an appt, no one answered the phone so I left a message. Within 5 minutes, the owner called me back and we set up an appt for the oil change. I totally forgot to ask how much the oil change was so my signif other was a bit perturbed with me. I figured it can't be more than 50 bucks. It was $45 which is what you pay at a Jiffylube or Goodyear for the premium oil change. That's fine, it's a local business and the location is convenient for me so I wanted to give him a chance. I'm glad I did because the owner and his staff were super nice & the oil change was great! When I went to get my car, I walked up to K-B while my son rode his little Spidey bike. After I squared up my bill, the owner... I wanna say his name is "Tom", pulled my car up to the service bay and loaded my son's bike into the back of my suv. Simple and kind service. We will be going back. read more

Love these guys. They're fast and ace mechanics. And you can always count on the price being fair and they stand behind their work. Ladies......this is a great shop if you don't know a thing about cars you don't have to worry about being taken advantage of. Highly recommend. read more
