Our Story

Located in Caledonia Township in Kent County, Michigan, our shop remains family owned. Ken’s Repair started in this location in 1990, offering services to multiple generations of customers.

James K Jones, also known as Ken started out farming, bartending and driving semi trucks as a young man. Over the years on the family farm he began working on farm equipment and vehicles. Repairing the farm equipment sparked his interest in the trade. Ken became a certified mechanic and worked at a variety of shops including large shops like Duthler Ford and small shops like Bobs Engine Repair located right here in Caledonia. He finally decided he wanted to own his own shop around 1990. So he purchased the property that is now known as Ken’s Auto Repair Plus. In July of 2019 Kendra & Allen Jousma (daughter and son-in-law to Ken) bought Ken’s Repair. Business remains operating in the same capacity as it has for the last 30 years!
