They get the job done and quick, but far too expensive for me. I needed my alternator replaced and an oil change. Came up to nearly $800! They cited the alternator as being a $400 part (it is a $200 part) and when I asked how they said they charge more cause they need to make a profit. I guess they dont make a enough profit from charging another $300 for the 2 hours of work it took for them to replace it.Ive always felt like they charged way too much, but knowing how much the part cost and how easy it is to replace this time, really shed light on how much money I was losing here. I could have ordered the part myself and paid my cousin $100 for an hour of work and saved FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. Getting it done quick and by professionals isnt worth that much money. I wont be getting my car fixed here again. Every other place Ive had my car worked on has had much more reasonable prices. I would recommend checking other places and inquiring prices before coming here and save yourself potentially hundreds of dollars.Two stars for how fast they are always able to get the job done and being reliable.EDIT: Ive added a photo of my receipt just so you can see and judge for yourself on the cost. 450 for parts 250 for labor. If you think a oil change and replacing a 200$ alternator is worth $700+ tax then this place will definitely get that done for you.

These guys were great. Even though they were very busy, they worked me in to do a quick fix on my transmission linkage and get me going again. Very professional and accommodating to a customer in a tight fix! Would highly recommend!

Kar Shop performed an alignment after a previous shop claimed they couldnt get the jamb nut freed up between the inner and outer tie rods. They wanted to replace both tie rods at a cost over $500. I decided it was worth a second opinion, and contacted the Kar Shop and explained my situation. They were able to align the car with no problem. I also noted that most of the initial alignment measures between the two shops did not match up. Highly recommend these folks.

Straightforward and honest service. My wifes car had no A/C in the middle of summer, and they found the earliest slot to fit me in, and got to work. The nature of A/C repair is inherently expensive, but I felt their pricing was fair for the work they had to do based on past experiences and the national average costs. They were very communicative, and went above and beyond with their inspection. To top it off, their work was warrantied which is something to look for in the world of automotive repair. Theyve earned themselves a repeat customer for sure, highly recommended.

I’ve used the Kar Shop three times so far. The first was for a repair, and the last two were for a diagnostic. They have always had it done when they said it would be. The price has always been within the estimate given. The diagnostics were right on target. Very happy with their service.

I originally took my car to the Chevy dealership (twice) The first time they said there was no problem I drove the car for about a week and the same problem happened again. The second time I had it towed into the dealership They replaced a part and it cost me 1500. Dollars I brought the car home and a couple days later the same problem recurred again I was recommended the Kar Shop and brought the car in … the problem was diagnosed that day and was fixed correctly!! I highly recommend this auto repair shop! They are getting all my business in the future as well as all my friends!! Five star service!!

What can I say, but a breath of fresh air compared to other shop experiences Ive had locally! They understood the requests. Communication from the front desk to the shop was spot on.

I have been bringing different cars and trucks to them for over 10 years. They are good people and I trust them completely. I have brought them some 50 year old “project” cars, and newer cars, and they always do an excellent job. I have brought in some old classics that needed a lot of work to make them reliable, and they have brought them back to life. To find a car repair business, that provides consistent high quality, is pretty rare. Most places have their moments, then fade away when their talent leaves. The Kar Shop has been excellent for over a decade of my business. I thank the crew at the Kar Shop!!

I had a difficult A/C problem in my 1999 Dodge Ram Van that another shop couldnt fix. Kar Shop got it figured out and fixed. Thank You to Regina for the several calls needed for updates and options. Regina made the phone experience bearable. She was professional, knowledgeable, and informative.

Amazing experience as a first time customer. I needed new brakes and rotors on a full size pick up and the dealership was outrageous. I asked around for recommendations and the KAR Shop kept coming up and I know why. This place is great. They know their stuff, they are reasonably priced, I got everything I needed and some additional services and still saved money. I will be taking my other cars here from now on. Thanks so much, it’s nice to have an Auto Shop you can trust.

Came here for the first time immediately after a visit at the dealership that didnt go as expected (which was for the best). I was greeted shortly after I walked in and the friendly staff was more than willing to accommodate for some maintenance work on such short notice.They knew exactly what needed to be done, and they dont mess around. I could tell from overhearing other customers complaining about other shops that would try to take advantage of them and it put me at ease how straightforward the guys at the kar shop are.Pricing was reasonable in my opinion. Theyll quote you before they get started, but honestly I was grateful for their help, so it was money well spent.I definitely plan on returning when my car needs some more work done.

After a failed attempt at home on what I thought would be minor repairs, I found myself in search of a shop to take the reigns as nothing was going as planned. Simply put, saving a little coin is not worth the trouble of trying to do somethings yourself, or further damaging your vehicle. I’m thankful for the team at The KAR Shop for not only their professional and inviting disposition but also their efficiency and honesty. Kevin was my primary contact and having had poor experiences in the past, as we all typically have, he put a lot of my worries at ease. The shop exceeded my expectations, at a fair price, and unless my experience was a fluke, I will continue to lean on them for all my automotive needs… 95’ Bronco!

This is a great car repair shop. The staff are knowledgeable and have resources at hand if they need it. Manager and staff are very customer friendly and the waiting area is amazing, super comfortable and clean. Always ready for me when I arrive, do the work promised, and have me on my way in record time. Very fair prices compared to other shops. I trust the work they do and have taken my cars here for over 10 years.Another great visit. Thanks

I’ve used the KAR Shop a few times over the last 8 years or so. They’ve always treated me well, and I’ve had great service every time - very professional. I highly recommend them for car repairs/maintenance.For replacing my rear brakes, the KAR Shop was almost 28% cheaper than the dealership, and they recommend that I wait on replacing my front brakes, as I had 50% of the pads left.

These guys are awesome! I had taken my car previously to my dealership and they claimed they found multiples leaks in my oil valves. They quoted a large price so we went to get a second opinion. Thankfully we found The KAR Shop! These guys not only diagnosed my car in the same day but got my car fixed up by the next day and it was a fourth of the price that the dealership wanted. These guys are reliable and trustworthy, please go here, it will save you and your car!

Review №32

Excellent service from a very professional shop. I like to work on my own vehicles, but sometimes can get in over my head with diagnosing issues with my 91 F-250. They were great with getting my issue figured out quickly and their recommended solution was exactly what was wrong. Also, the price they charged for diagnosis was very reasonable and so was the price quoted to actually make the repair. They also looked over the vehicle and gave a few other things that needed attention which I was very appreciative of! I will be bringing future business here and recommending them to anyone who asks!

Review №33

Summary: Friendly Shop, Integrity Lost.Yes, your team did an extensive diagnostic on my Tacoma, and then provided me with a 4K+ Estimate on all repairs. After a second opinion, I found myself with paying under 100 parts, the CEL cleared because it was just the gas cap, the rack and pinion wasnt the issue but bushings, and The Brake sensor was just the sensor. Im confused as to why Im being attempted to be sold parts and certain repairs that arent needed. Thank you for your time.

Great service in my opinion. A little pricey but every repair theyve done was fixed right, the first time. Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

Review №44

After McLarty Daniels in Bentonville suggested that I replace the ball joints in my truck (warning me that I needed to get it done ASAP as it would be dangerous for me to continue to drive with them in their current condition), I called the Kar shop to see if they could give me a second estimate on how much it would cost me to replace the joints/how much they would charge for the same service as McClarty (which stated they would charge me $1250.00 to complete the job). To my surprise, the Kar Shop stated that there was little to any wear on the ball joints.I am so grateful for their service and saving me 1250.00. They could have easily lied to me and told me that they needed to be done but instead were honest and didnt try to take advantage of me. I will be using them from now on and would definitely not recommend going to McClarty Daniel for any services.

I really recommend this shop for their ability to give detailed diagnosis and their professionalism .. I received an amazing diagnosis for my car which could not move in drive or reverse . The 3 stars rating is for the expensive costs of their services which are a bit above the average in the area ...

I highly recommend the Kar Shop. They take care of their customers!I’ve used Kar Shop since 2013 to maintain my 2003 SS Silverado. They have reasonable rates and a well-trained and courteous staff.My latest visit included locating an electrical drain which caused the battery to go dead after a few days. They located a malfunctioning switch and replaced it. The problem was not fixed and the battery was dead again in a few days. I took the truck to Kar Shop. They kept the truck for a couple of days to monitor discharge rates on the battery and discovered another switch issue that was repaired. The truck battery didn’t go dead for 7 days. Took the truck back and they found that a board had to be rebuilt. The board was replaced and I noted a few days later that not all the dash instruments were not being lighted during night driving. Once again, truck back to Kar Shop. I’ve got to wonder if they weren’t tired of seeing me.I knew that finding an electrical issue with 2003 vehicle could be hard to locate. I had to return the truck 4 times to get the electrical issue resolved. I paid for two switches and the rebuild of the board. The charges were very reasonable. When I reported the instrument lighting issue a few days after paying of the board rebuild, they didn’t charge me for fixing the instrument lighting.Every time I returned the truck, they were very courteous were apologetic that I was still having electrical issues. I admire them for standing behind their work and not charging a diagnostic fee for each time I returned the truck to them.

The KAR shop had incredible service! Our car broke down in the middle of a cross country road trip. I called as soon as we got back into town, they got me in the next morning, called with the list of issues, asked what I wanted fixed then had it done by 3pm. Their service also comes with warranty and roadside assistance as a customer of theirs! Truly appreciate their customer service and all their help!

Review №76

I initially made my appointment with The Kar Shop for a leaky water pump on my 1997 Jeep Wrangler. I spoke to Charles and Kevin and they told me that a pressure test would be conducted on the cooling system. While performing that test their technician also performed a thorough inspection of my Jeep and found a few other things that could be detrimental in the drivability of the Jeep. I have only had the Jeep for three months, but I purchased it for the long haul and I’m thankful that I took it to The Kar Shop and that they performed a detailed inspection of it. There were rear brake issues that had to be addressed and the steering box had to be replaced. The repairs were completed on time and I couldn’t be happier with the work performed and with the staff that kept me informed of what needed to be completed. Because of their thoroughness I feel very comfortable in driving my new to me 1997 Jeep Wrangler. Thank you.

I have used Kar Shop several times and impressed with their service. The last time I took my vehicle in I was quoted at $1600, and when I got my car back the bill said $950. I agreed to paying the $1600 so they could of charged me but they saw that the labor was cheaper so they changed it.

Review from my wife: I am at the kar shop probably almost an embarrassing number of times with different vehicles that I own and family members own. We’ve been using them now for 5 years and have been treated nothing but great! They always get me fixed up and the time i thought something wasn’t quite right afterwards, they’ll take it back, double check all their work for nothing and make sure it’s what i was expecting. I appreciate the honesty and competitive prices! Today i had another great experience with them and just really want people to know that they can trust this company with their vehicles! We are vacation ready now that they looked over my van!

Long story short i went to Christian Brothers and they knew what to do. So dont go there. Go to a real shop.

The Kar Shop exemplifies quality work, customer service, and character.

Good honest people! 3 years ago I found them after I took my newly purchased car somewhere else in town for a routine oil change. They told me I needed a coolant flush. I said really?
