No nonsense mechanics. Really nice auto repair agency. Staff are professional. Carl the owner actually participated in my auto needs and advises accordingly.

I had a great experience using Carls services! My head gasket blew going southbound on the Bay Bridge Tunnel in the work zone on Friday. I called around to a few places but Carl had the quickest available turn around time. Once he got it, he diagnosed the problem and wrote me up a fair quote for what needed to be done. Come Monday, he finished his test drive of my car and I went and picked up my vehicle. No hassles, haggling, or delays whatsoever. Carl has great interpersonal skills and can be reached throughout the day by phone or text, making the process of keeping myself updated easy and less stressful. Thank you Carl!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE! King Carl originally quote $3200 for repairs. We declined and went to pick the vehicle up due the expensive cost of the repairs. Mr. Carl began to tell us how God laid it on his heart to complete the repairs for $1500 which is what I told him was the most I would be willing to put into the car. I asked him if the work could be done in 2 weeks because my son needed his car for school and work. He said absolutely. I gave him $1000 cash because according to him his credit card machine was down and he needed to order the parts right a way. Long story short My husband and myself chased Carl down for 3 months before I had to sit outside his shop and demand to get my son car or I would call the cops. We got excuses every other day about him having family emergencies, him being sick to finally he had cancer. The day I sat outside his shop until he gave me my son car back, he told me I needed to be more patient and understanding. He said we were both black and I should know how it is. Shocked by the words coming from his mouth I told him he was not an honest/truthful man and race had nothing to do with the issue. I asked him if he had completed all the work I paid him to complete. He said yes. I did not make it 2 blocks before the car ran hot cut off and would not start. My husband went back to the shop and had Carl come to the car to look at it. Carl told us it was a fan sensor he could fix it in a couple days. We would need to tow the car back. I told him I would be taking the car to another shop for repairs. He tried to convince me that would be a bad idea. According to Carl Its not wise to have a mechanic go behind another mechanics work. I told him I would take my chances. I took it to another shop and was informed the problem was exactly what I paid Carl to do. He had not done the work. I called him and he said he would call me back. It has been 2 weeks and I have not heard back. The repairs for my son car was quoted at $950 from 3 different shops. Not $3200 or $1500 which Carl quoted. Carl took $1000 from my 17 year old son kept his car for 3 months. Lied and said he did the work and he did not

Left my car here and didn’t see Carl for almost two months he didn’t answer my calls either, just took money for a job he never had any intention of doing in the first place. I would recommend to Google his name and business before doing any business here. I’m shocked with the way he keeps repeating the same behavior after speaking to people in and around his business and he’s even known with the cops. Be careful people.

He really needs 0 stars! Got $9000 from my husband and I’s insurance and to date, has not repaired the car! Carl lied for months saying he did repairs and was waiting on parts! Went into his shop to discover he had done NOTHING to the car!! He’s had our car since August 2017, he still hasn’t fixed the car and it’s March 2018! SCAM ARTIST ALERT!!! Do not take your care here for even a simple oil change!! Stay tuned for the result!

[0 Stars]Very unhappy with his service. On Friday, 29 June, I placed a call to this establishment reference a price to install two low beam bulbs (that my husband pre-purchased). Carl quoted $84.50. I specifically asked For both sides?, and he said Yes. Being that he was the cheapest, we made arrangements to have the bulb installed the following morning at 10am. First off, he was tardy. Secondly, when my husband went to pick up the car, he charged him $80 PER SIDE! ($160) My husband paid the money and left. Once I was told, I called Carl and he said he put the charge in his system and thats the fee (then he mumbled mechanic terms Im unfamiliar with).I wouldve gone to a different auto shop where I was quoted $100, for both sides!DO NOT GO HERE! Hell tell you one thing, then take your money!

The worst I have have ever experienced. Very unprofessional. He has had my car for 6 days for transmission work. Everyday I would call and be promised my car would be ready that day. He would close at the end of day with no phone call about my car. When called and asked questions, he would catch an attitude. This is my six and my car still isnt ready. DO NOT TAKE YOR CAR THERE. YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED AMD MAD AND READY TO GO TO JAIL messing with this man. I pushed one star but he deserves a minus 5 star.
