by 2013 KIA OPTIMA HYBRID Owner on 03/12/2026Verified Service
Took the car in for oil change and gone over and found a battery was dead also. Replace the battery why they had it. Did a good job in calling me in advance and let me know the price for a new battery. Very happy with their service. Been with them a long time never failed me yet. Would recommend them to anybody that needs service.

Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and explained repairs clearly. They were honest on finding the issue and repaired on the second time we brought it in. The sound was hard to identify and kirkwood figured it out. My husband happy it was fixed. Thanks again The Schneiders.

I've been going to Kirkwood for over 15 years, and they are truly the best automotive repair and service shop in Delaware. Their team is honest, dependable, and consistently delivers quality work. If you're looking for an auto shop you can trust, look no further you've found your shop. Give them a call today. You won't be disappointed!

For the last 5 years I have experienced excellent, courteious, and expert care for my two cars. There has never been any pressure about doing a job, They diagnose what the problems my be, share with me what the choices are and leave it up to me to decide whether or not I want them to do the job. There is a lot of integrity at Kirkwood Auto Center.

I liked the transportation service they provide, however they had an oil change on my request order, and I requested a Maintenance Service. So when they called to suggest other issues, they said they had done the oil change, which I had had previously done.

Our family has been using Kirkwood Auto since 1982!! They have outstanding service, and they are very trustworthy. On our most recent visit, I had them check the overall car after I had an encounter with a deer. No operational items were found, and a body shop will take it from there.
by 2012 SUBARU OUTBACK 2.5I LIMITED Owner on 11/11/2025Verified Service
Went in hoping it wouldn't be anything serious when I got codes on my car but also had underlying idle issues so thought it lead to that.. got hit with a 2000$ bill in regards to emissions related parts. Told them about the idle issue and had hopes it would all be addressed but nope still have all the problems just more debt.

I've been coming to Kirkwood Auto Center for the last 5+ years and I have been very pleased with their service. I particularly appreciate the honesty and integrity when discussing the service my car needs. I get honest assessments and am never pushed and always encouraged to choose what I want done.
by 2021 MAZDA 3 PREMIUM Owner on 10/27/2025Verified Service
My car was fixed and ready a while ago but it has been over a week before i could pick it up because the auto center has not recieved the warranty payment from carmax. Apparently they keep filling out the paperwork wrong to carmax's dissatisfaction. I have yet to be able to pick up my car and i am beyond frustrated.
by 2017 BUICK LACROSSE PREFERRED Owner on 10/26/2025Verified Service
The team at Kirkwood Auto is always professional, courteous, and extremely helpful. They make recommendations but are not pushy about offering services that are not essential. They are fair and trustworthy. I will continue to use their services and to recommend them to others.

I was in a tough spot, just moved to the area and my Car died. The Kirkwood Auto Center Team stepped up Big Time - they made time to look at my Vehicle at their 1st available possibility. They followed up with me right away. Did the Work & more at a very reasonable Price. And now I am back on the Road. From the 1st Call to the completed job, everyone was So Engaging, Knowledgeable & Helpful. I'll Be Baaaaaack!!!
by 2015 GMC TERRAIN SLE Owner on 10/14/2025Verified Service
I took my car in for a safety check and dropped off my vehicle the night before. I received a call back from Chris the next morning within two hours informing me that they had completed the check and could not find any significant problems. I appreciated the fast response and was happy to learn my car was in good shape.
by 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K1500 Owner on 10/05/2025Verified Service
Kirkwood Aoto, as usual, was quick and courteous. It was easy to make an appointment. Vehicle was serviced in a timely fashion. They reviewed everything they noticed during their inspection and discussed their findings and recommendations. I would recommend Kirkwood Auto Center for their vehicle needs.
by 2019 LEXUS RX 350 BASE/350 F SPORT Owner on 09/02/2025Verified Service
I enjoy having Kirkwood Auto Center service my car. They are reliable and give accurate and fair pricing prior to doing the work. A plus for me is that I can drop off my car the night before, putting my keys in their safe drop box. The next morning they call me with the work that needs to be done and the price. We agree. I pick up my car that afternoon. Thanks Kirkwood Auto Center for great service.

This Auto Repair center is an absolute gem. Great workmanship, reasonable prices, outstanding customer service, a wonderful customer loyalty program and a courtesy multipoint inspection. I've had them service my car for years now, and won't go anywhere else. You will be impressed when you check out their website!

Kirkwood Auto Center has been a blessing taking care of my car...Fully explain in detail what my car needs. APPOINTMENTS are pretty quick, answer any questions I have..Would not change my Auto Center...They sell me tires, check my air, change my oil..I feel appreciated at their Center and not like I am bothering them.
