They were the only team to claim the four-try bonus point as the Brumbies blew an early 13-point lead.
It looked like the Brumbies had the game wrapped up when they earned a penalty after the siren.
But the TMO ruled prop Ben Alexander had put a shoulder charge on Steven Sykes and the visitors earned another bite of the cherry.
They didn't falter, with du Preez scoring his second try of the match near the posts.
The Brumbies missed the composure of rested five-eighth Matt Toomua, with the backline not looking as crisp as it has in recent weeks.
Despite dominating both possession and field position, the Brumbies handed over the ball throughout the match with handling areas, aimless kicking and poor passing despite a blistering 20-minute opening performance.
The Brumbies flew out of the blocks, with an early penalty to Christian Lealiifano and tries to unmarked wingers Henry Speight and Joe Tomane.
The Kings hit back after the restart in the 22nd minute, stringing together about a dozen phases before loosehead prop Schalk Ferreira burrowed over next to the posts.
Kings flanker Wimpie van der Walt then crossed the line from the back of a rolling maul in the 33rd minute after five-eighth George Whitehead put a penalty kick on the halfway line five metres out from the Brumbies line.
The visitors were the first to score again after the break when the Brumbies lost possession five metres out and the Kings went the length of the field to put du Preez under the posts for his first try.
Ignoring booing from the crowd, the Brumbies took three points whenever on offer throughout the match to keep the scoreboard ticking over, with Lealiifano kicking five from five penalty attempts and Nic White one from three.
