I am very particular about my vehicle maintenance. We started using Tims in 2018 and have been very pleased with the quality of work. They are very thorough in diagnosing issues and always provide a snapshot of the total vehicle condition which helps us plan and budget for upcoming maintenance and repairs. Tims uses only factory specified parts. This may cost a little more up front, but over 40 years of car ownership has taught me that quality provides value - and saves money in the long run.
Tims does something Ive never seen at any other auto shop. They do a very thorough inspection of the car (thats not unusual). The unique part is the report they generate includes pictures so you can see exactly what they are talking about in the report.They use a color rating system;Green: all goodYellow: needs attention, but not urgentRed: needs attention now/soonThis is so helpful in addressing what needs to be done now and planning for the future repairs.In summary, Tims is a reliable, honest auto shop!
These guys are awesome !I drive 200-300 miles a day for uber/lyft and have used Tims for oil changes and full inspections every 5,000 miles. They are attentive to my concerns, follow through, call me with questions, extremely knowledgeable, and let me know when the car is ready. How many times have you had to call your mechanic for an update on your cars progress ? I recommend them daily as I drive riders to and from their dealership service. Dealership service has become too expensive and less customer service oriented for years.Im glad to have found these guys and plan to stick with them.Many thanks to Brian, Tim, and the rest of the guys
Their customer service goes well above and beyond expectations, and their pick up/drop-off service is especially helpful to me. My interactions with Tim, Nick, and Brian have always been very positive. These guys seem to love what they do and take pride in their skills and professionalism. They’re also fun to talk with! I highly recommend their services.
I generally don’t like bringing my Jeep in for service because it’s a hassle to schedule an appointment within a reasonable time frame and they only service whatever is wrong with the vehicle. The guys at Tim’s do things differently. I was able to get my Jeep in after the weekend, and they did probably them most complete inspection since it rolled off the factory line in addition to the service I came in for. My friend who recommended them said I’d become a customer for life. Based on this first experience alone, I’d say he was right.
These are really GREAT people to have take care of whats needed for your car. They are all very polite and helpful and are able to repair what needs to be done at a very reasonable price. My 2007 PT Cruiser was repaired because of the drivers window not operating. Tims Quality Car Care found the replacement unit with no problem at all. My car really feels like new now. Will definitely use them again when necessary.Milton ScheuermannNew Orleans, LA
Tim’s was the best experience I’ve had at any auto repair shop. These guys are super friendly and helpful. They walk you through everything that needs to be done and communicate with you constantly before any work is done. Nick took great care of my wife’s car and had it fixed faster than we expected. These guys are top notch and they have a customer for life. Car is running like new.
Tim’s Auto Repair are the Best in the Business. Everyone there is so knowledgeable, courteous, professional & friendly. As a customer for years, I can trust Tim’s to do the job right the first time. The blower on my AC was going bad and would go out without warning and suddenly come back on full blast. When I brought the car to Tim’s they identified the problem and fixed it promptly. Now I have my AC back & truly happy 😃, especially now during extreme heat 🥵 we have here in NOLA. Thank You Tim’s🚗!👍Donna
These guys are pros! The reports they make available to you include pics with arrows that point out problem areas. They label them red, yellow, and green so you can prioritize what’s actually needed and how soon. 100% recommend.
Very transparent about what your car needs and what you can save your money on. I appreciate the honesty and transparency! The most thorough car check Ive ever had. Will return when I need more services.
I’ve used Tim’s for multiple vehicles and really appreciate the work that they do! Both of my vehicles have a detailed diagnostic from Tim’s that we went through together and were able to prioritize projects and create a plan going forward. I have been satisfied with all of the work so far. They make an effort to work with your budget and keep you safe on the road. Thanks fellas!- Eric
Wish I would have know about this pace before my car was a goner…they are genuine people and are completely up front with you. They are honest and very helpful. I brought my car in (5th mechanic I’ve seen) about a leaking coolant issue. After doing an entire car check.. Tim called me with the news… he didn’t think it would be worth my time and money to fix the car. He recommended some reliable car brands and just went above and beyond
They were upfront and honest with me about what I should do on repairs with the car Im getting rid of. Gave me honest (and good) advice on where to look for a new one as Im new to the area. Will definitely recommend them to anyone for their full inspection report alone, and I definitely plan on using them for any future vehicle maintenance.
I brought my car in to have my oil pan replaced. Tim’s Quality Car Care ran a full inspection on my car and preformed all necessary maintenance very quickly. Very professional, friendly service!
Wow! My wife and I went on a road trip to New Orleans, we started to hear a weird grinding noise. We decided to pull into Tim’s and be safe rather than sorry. They did a complete inspection of our truck and found there was a rock stuck between the brake pad and rotor! They removed the rock and sent us on our way. These guys are totally honest, super friendly, and certainly trustworthy. I wish they were in my town!
The guys at Tims are professional and thorough. Whenever my car needs servicing, I take it to Tims.
Very thorough and professional. I love the way they do things and they don’t try to talk you into unnecessary services. Went quicker than expected!
Professional and knowledgeable staff. They provide a very detailed analysis of your vehicle and help you prioritize discrepancies. My car feels new after the work theyve done.
Edit: Id like to edit this review in order to respond to the owners response. I understand your desire to run your own diagnostic testing. I understand your desire to not give estimates over the phone. I do not understand your inability to be transparent with pricing of services. Other auto services state, this is not a guarantee. we need to see the car but this is what we typically charge for these services. your inability to be transparent is just strange. But I could have even understood that had you not been so rude and condescending in your response. Also, if you want to overcome the objection of phone estimates, there are much more efficient and friendly ways to do so. Maybe stick to working on cars and allow others more suited to handle the customer service aspect.Just spoke with Tim. I took my car into a dealership and was given a list of repairs it needed. I always do my due diligence when researching service departments so after much consideration, I picked 5 top rated businesses near me. I called all 5 of them to ask them for estimates and availability (I assumed most of them would be quite busy and I am on a 3 week time limit). 4 businesses were kind and helpful, took down my information and gave me a call back with detailed pricing. Standard practice in this industry and these businesses are top rated businesses. It was such a pleasant experience. But not with Tims. I spoke directly with Tim and he was condescending to say the least. Our phone call lasted exactly one minute and in that time, he told me that he does not give pricing over the phone. I tried to explain that I had been to a dealership and that dealerships are notoriously more expensive. This really seemed to make him quite angry for some reason and he responded that if price is a concern for me then he wouldnt be the best choice. I said this exact same line to the other 4 businesses and their responses were all, yeah dealerships have to charge more in paid labor. We understand type of comments. Anyone who cant be transparent with their pricing wont be getting business from me. And Tim should let somebody else answer the phones around there.
Great mechanic - trustworthy and reliable. They’re also some of the nicest people. Their diagnostic photo website helps out when walking through needed work on my vehicle.
They were extremely friendly and helpful, great customer service and high quality.
Excellent service. Honest, friendly. Transparent. So glad to have found them!
Tims uses a program to identify the health of every part of your car with notes and photos. They send this to you to review before calling to discuss what repairs/maintenance are needed. This gives you time to understand the issues better than just a phone call. It also allows you to understand what needs immediate attention and prepare for future maintenance issues. We dealt with Nick who was so professional but also very nice and outgoing. They offer perks for recommending new customers and have a finance company they work with for large repairs. This was our first experience with them, but well be customers for life.
I dont enjoy taking my car to get repairs but when we do, we use Tims. They will inspect your car each visit and advise on other repairs that are needed but do not force them on you. When they are done you defiantly do not feel like they took you for a ride. Great value
Love those boys! Saved my day.Thank you.
Excellent service and amazing people that are fair and honest. They care for your car as you would your own child. I am a customer for life.
After I moved in from out of town and had a horrible experience with the local Mazda dealerships service department, I was really nervous about taking my car anywhere. A friend recommended Tims, and years later I am still so glad he did. I have had nothing but great experiences with Tims and great interactions with everyone there. I love the inspection report they send that lays out in detail everything they inspected and what kind of attention each thing needs. They understand that I do not have unlimited funds and are always very easy to work with to get the most important things done as soon as possible. Sure, they will suggest that you repair things before they actually completely break. But I appreciate knowing what Im going to have to deal with down the line, and Im always confident that Im not going to end up on the side of the road somewhere. My 5 year old car is nearly like new still even though I have over 100k miles, thanks to Tims. I sent my 21 y/o son there when he bought a used car, and he has become a repeat customer. I just bought my 17 y/o son a used car and, of course, brought it to Tims for inspection and a little work. It says a great deal that I trust them with my boys cars. Theyre just really lovely folks, and Im happy to give them my business.
Tim, Nick & their team are great at what they do. They thoroughly evaluated my daughters car, gave me a detailed report of the needed repairs, and then they assisted me in prioritizing what repairs were most critical. This enabled me to financially plan for the other repairs while keeping my daughter safe on the road in the meantime. They are hardworking, dependable, as well as both honest and transparent in explaining things. Ive become a repeat and satisfied customer!
They know whats up and gave me solid advice when inspecting a used car. Thanks Tim and Brian
Tim and his crew have helped me multiple times (Tim, Nick, Brian, etc.). The TQCC crew have always been thorough and communicative.They have consistently provided both quality advice and recommendations. I have never felt pushed into a service that wasnt necessary for the longevity of my vehicle. Theyve tackled some unusual problems with my vehicle (once you pay a car off the strangest things seem to happen). I would and have recommended Tims to anyone that has asked for advice on where to take their car and will continue to do so. Im grateful that I have a shop that I feel confidence in! Thanks yall!
Ive had weird problems with my car (horn not working, affecting the alarm) and have had to have tires replaced. The very nice and professional staff at Tims has always taken care of my issues, fixed things promptly and at a reasonable charge and treated me like a valued customer.
Brought in my old clunker a year or so back and I consistently had problems and they always helped me. They were very fair in telling me what was needed and what wasn’t and even when I said I think I need a new car they offered to help. They really go above and beyond. I recommend this place to everyone who ask “do ya know a good mechanic”
I cannot say enough good words about Tim and his crew. They fixed my car (twice) in no time. Courtesy, professionalism and a fantastic communication are the best adjectives to describe this business. Another note is that they repaired my vehicle during the pandemic and I was pleasantly surprised on how they handled the situation: they disinfected everything before and after the repair and moreover, the entire interaction was kept at the minimum to avoid possible virus’ spread. I highly recommend Tim’s Quality Car Care to everyone!!! Thank you!!!
I needed a flat tire repaired, and Tim’s was willing to schedule me in last minute. They were unable to repair my tire because it was a reverse mount and they did not have the machinery, but they were very polite about telling me and explained they didn’t want to damage my rims. They even offered to check my tire pressures for free. I did not receive any services from them, but I was struck by how polite and accommodating the staff were and how sincere they were when they knew they couldn’t help me. I will definitely come back for their other services!
I brought my car in for the first time recently. This is during the pandemic and they took very good precautions. Regarding their service on my car, they noted many problems--it is an old vehicle. They fixed what they needed to and then recommended that I not have other work done, because it would not be worth it to me. They suggested I begin looking around for a newer car. For a minimum amount of money, they bought my car a few extra months. I was grateful that they were honest and did not try to get me to pump money unnecessarily into this car. Finally, the service was prompt and well done. And they are a friendly crew. I recommend them!!
After fifteen years of doing business with Tims I am happy to recommend their work and the extra care they take with me and my car. And I really like the digital report and photos they sent me of my car and its components. They sanitized my car also which is a nice touch in this uncertain time. Thank you to my car guys, Tim and Nick!Virginia
Scam artists. Kept beating around the bush about prices and finally came back with a price that was half of my cars worth when it was newly bought. I will tell everyone to use any other mechanic before them.
We set up an appointment online for the service which was completed on time!
Tim’s was recommended to me by my Mechanic who retired. It’s so hard these days to find people you can trust let alone your Mechanic. Nick was my Service Tech and I can now say if everyone at Tim’s is like Nick, not only will I continue to use them but I’m recommending everyone I know to do the same. This is a top notch shop, who were both professional and trustworthy, two components hardly found today in the Automotive repair world.
Tim’s is such a phenomenal place.Let’s be honest: car maintenance is a chore. This family not only treats you like family but makes car maintenance more than tolerable.They’re upfront about all costs, stick to their quotes, and ultimately seek to maintain vehicles before expensive issues develop. They make the latter easy to do by offering programs for their oil changes and tires.Is letting go of that money the most pleasant thing? Goodness, no! When is it ever? Thankfully, at Tim’s I know I’m getting the best service and reliability, and that makes it so much easier. It’s seldom to find quality and reliability without price gouging, and that’s exactly what you get at Tim’s.P.S. Join the e-mail list for specials!P.P.S. If you don’t tell your significant other about the chocolates in the “Thank you” bag, you don’t have to share. Oops. I think I just outed myself.
Took my 2006 Honda CR-V to Tims for the first time yesterday. They were very friendly and polite. They communicated very clearly and let me know exactly when me car would be serviced. They were also very honest with me when they advised me to not put any more money into my car because it was not longer a good investment (it is totally time to get a new car). Nick walked me through everything that was wrong with my car and talked with me for 30+ minutes about buying a used car. Great service and great people!
I usually work on my own vehicles, with being busy with work I needed to get my truck taken care of and I could not be happier. The personal care taken by Tim and Nick truly set them apart from other garages. I reccomend them to anyone. They usually handle my normal maintenance but I also have full faith in them on any job.
Tim’s Quality Car Care, is exactly what the business is called. I had my tires changed and the shop I took it to stated I needed work done. I alway’s contact Tim when an issue comes up, we brought my car in and of course the work was not needed. I had my maintenance done and oil changed. You can alway’s trust the team of Tim’s Quality Car Care!
Im a big fan of Tims for their friendly and professional customer service and knowledge. I also appreciate that they inspect the entire car every time I come in and not just focus on the issue or service that I came in for. Theyre not necessarily the cheapest, but Im confident in their recommendations and the quality of the parts and repairs/services performed.
They have really great service. Worked with us about dropping off our car while the virus was going around. They have a real professionalism about. They dont try to sell you something that you dont need. They send you pictures as proof of what all they have done. They gave a warranty on all their work. A little pricey but the quality is there and the piece of mind that is done right.
Tims is fantastic. They performed thorough diagnostics and emailed pictures and recommended repairs to me. I was able to talk directly with the mechanic about what to do or not, and they had my car ready to go the next day. They are very professional and trustworthy. Their customer service is outstanding.
Tims has been servicing all my cars for 40 years. I would not go any place else for service. They are The example of a professionally run business.They are genuine and sincere business people.
Best customer service I have ever experienced from any business. Their inspection site is the coolest and most helpful thing ever. Nick spent an hour going over every single point of the inspection with me. I never felt pressured or like I was being tricked into getting extra work done. They fixed the main issue and also diagnosed other issues I was having. I will be bringing all our vehicles to Tims from now on.
I was looking for a good A/C service, very glad I chose Tim’s. I got a thorough 25+ point analysis of the health of my car. They did an excellent job of testing and correcting not only my A/C but about 10 other issues. Very professional! Courtesy car ride was extra nice and very much appreciated.I am very happy and ready to hit the road on my long road trip. Thank you Tim’s.
They always treat my stepdad and me with the utmost respect. Also very trustworthy, so I never have any doubts about leaving my car in their capable hands.
Any car repair brings on fears or panic. I have always had nothing but positive experiences with Tims. Equally important is the authentic and friendly service. No need to go to a dealership to get quality service on my car!
Excellent service. Easy scheduling, pickup and drop off. Detailed photo report to review what car items need addressed. Best car repair store I have used.
Tims was awesome. I called them in a panic because my car started doing weird things and the check engine light came on. I usually take my car to the dealership but they are closed right now so I took a chance on Tims. They now have a customer for life! They explained everything in detail, got it done quick, and even brought it to me!
This place is my immediate go to in Metaire for any car issues. They are professional, precise and transparent about all issues related to your car.
First class service. Nick and his team were very helpful and explained everything that was going on with my truck. They were very honest and fix my problems which was the spark plugs and o2 sensors. Trust worthy and very reasonable pricing. Highly recommended. Thanks
I had just moved to the area and stopped by to see why the service light was on in my car. They took the time to give my car a very thorough examination and determined that even the light went off, it was a minor fluke and there was nothing that needed to be repaired. They didn’t even charge me a diagnosis fee and were so honest and helpful to me! I will 100% be using them for all of my car needs!
Ive been bringing my cars to Tims for years. They are always professional, courteous, and customer satisfaction is their main goal. You can always depend on them to do a good job. Tims is the best!
I have been a loyal customer of Tim’s for about two years and will continue to send my cars there. EVERY business can learn something from Tim’s individual care, attention to detail, and strong quality of service.
They are doing things the right way. The people are great, you can definitely trust them. Repairs backed by a 3 year warranty, digital inspection that gets sent straight to your phone with live photos of everything they are doing, its very unique.They gave me a goodie bag with gifts, offered me a free pumpkin (its around Halloween) before leaving, place is awesome. 5/5 👍
Weve been going to Tims for years and years. We have vowed to drive our cars til we cant anymore. Tims is keeping both our cars happy and healthy for the last umpteen years. I wouldnt go anywhere else. I have to admit that I got tired of clicking all the services they have performed for our cars over the years. My car is in impeccable shape thanks to TIms. And heres one of the best parts..They take me home in the morning., in the afternoon, they deliver my newly energized and spotless car to my front door. I love Tims.
I have used these guys since 1980. All of my cars have lasted over 200,000 miles. They are honest and will not rip you off. They conveniently let you pay with pay pal which is so easy. I love everything about Tims.
I have to say, Tim’s is a great shop and I didn’t even end up have them doing work on my car. They took my car for a spin, put it up to take a look and immediately figured out the problem. It turned out that I had an exhaust problem and they recommended another great family owned muffler shop. They didn’t even charge me for their time. I will definitely be coming back to Tim’s for any future problem. That kind of honesty and integrity definitely deserves a review and recommendation. Thanks y’all!
I can’t say enough about the service st Tim’s. I was visiting New Orleans when my car started acting up. Left it that afternoon and it was ready by the next afternoon. Tim explained everything before he started and was so easy to work with. I recommend Tim’s to everyone I know in that area. Trustworthy and reliable!
Tim’s did a thorough and fast job getting my car road ready. My family found itself in a bind during this COVID outbreak, but Tim’s found a way to safely repair my leaking tire and tune-up my car. I so appreciate Tim’s for continuing to serve the community during this pandemic, and I have tremendous gratitude for them finding ways to work while taking special precautions (i.e., social distancing and diligent cleaning of items) to keep both the Tim’s staff and their clients safe!
Courteous knowledgeable staff, good thorough work, fair prices, prompt service. very satisfied. have been using them since i retired from the auto repair business.
I’ve been taking my cars to Tim’s for over 30 years for one reason: good work at a good price. No hidden costs. Full communication.
I brought my wifes Honda CRV for A/C inspection and potential repair. The crew was professional, timely, and on point. They performed a good diagnostic and gave me information to let me decide what needed to happen. I will be bringing my truck in next.
I cannot rave about this place enough. I’ve been looking for a one stop shop for years that I can trust. I am positive I have found it here. Such a weight has been taken off my shoulders! I recommend Tim’s to everyone I know.
Tim’s helped me out so much this week! I had a weird computer car problem among other things, and Nick explained everything to me and answered all my questions. They got the work done fast and I know it was done well!
It is so refreshing to walk into a place of business and be greeted by the owners by name. (Not like we go there all of the time.) The customer service is exceptional. I would not take my cars anywhere else. Quality service and price.
This is by far the best mechanic business I have had the pleasure of dealing with. Their strategy of using complete transparency with their customers makes them easy to trust. Their investment in technology used to show exactly what is found and needs to be done is highly attractive for me as a customer. Besides the excellent business practices, the employees are simply very nice people. I highly recommend this business to anyone!
I chose Tim’s based on other reviews I saw on google. I was not disappointed, the staff is so helpful and courteous, and they did a great job. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was a sign that said “welcome to the family” with the new customers coming that day. They certainly care about customers and making them feel welcome. They do a thorough digital inspection and use text to communicate throughout the day. Coming from using chain mechanic shops every detail of my experience was very enjoyable and such a change of pace. I appreciate them taking the time to work with me and explain everything to me all while treating me with respect. When I drove my car home it honestly drove better than it had in years. I will definitely continue to use them as my sole car maintenance location as long as I’m in the New Orleans area. If you’re looking for somewhere to take your car want a great experience and knowledgeable and welcoming staff this is the place for you!
I am so thankful to have found Tim’s! They are trustworthy and I know I can rely on my car thanks to their quality care. I feel part of their family every time I walk through their door.
Always first class in repair and customer care at Tims.
These guys are the best. They really know their stuff and always come through whenever I have a vehicle-related issue. Ive been taking all of my vehicles here for years and have never been let down by the quality of service or turn around on a repair. I live in Orleans and these guys are in Metairie but very close to the Parish line, so theyre closer than most shops in Orleans anyway. If they werent as close, Id still make the drive, and I recommend everyone else in the area does, too. Its well worth it.
Nick is great. He went over the truck and what it needed with me. He worked with me on making adjustments that I needed because of budget. They got it back to me when they said it would be available. I am very satisfied and will tell my friends.
Had a terrific experience at Tims. They explained the problem with my car so I could understand. They gave me confidence that the repair would be done correctly.
Great team and very open/honest about your vehicle. Best experience at an auto mechanic shop ever. Very focused on customer services and satisfaction. Highly recommend
Im always leary of auto shops, especially as a woman. My engine light came on and I thought for sure they would call me with a dozen things wrong. So, when I got the call that they found nothing majorly wrong and even said my car was in great condition I knew I found my permanent shop. Tim was very helpful, professional and explained everything in detail. They are very welcoming and friendly. Simple oil change, rotate tires and no more engine light. Car running great. I would really recommend Tims.We recently brought in our 2007 Toyota Tundra with 298 thousand miles on it. It started over heating and the dash board lit up with all kinds of pretty lights. The guys at Tims called and told us it would be best to get rid of vehicle because it would cost more to repair than the truck was worth. My husband thanked them for their honesty and said they, like so many other shops, could have put a band aid on it and have it run a while until we were right back where we started. I feel these guys have your best interest in mind. They even gave us a suggestion on where to start looking for an new truck. Thanks guys.
If you want the best personalized service, this is the place to go! Everyone was extremely nice since the beginning. They gave a very thorough explanation of what was going on with my car and what needed to be done to fix it. They even gave me a ride back to work and also picked me up for work once my car was ready. Really grateful to have found a place to take my car that has such honest and hard-working people!
They gave me a thorough auto inspection for a car I was thinking to buy and were able to helpfully tell me that the car I was looking at was a dud. Would recommend Tim’s
Would definitely recommend Tims Quality Car Care! They are friendly, professional and do a thorough inspection of your car. Tim explained all of his recommendations, and they fixed my car quickly.
Amazing service and super fast. Very thorough inspection with frequent updates that you can access online. Personal and trustworthy and you don’t ever feel like you’re being persuaded to get something done that you don’t need. I’ll definitely be coming back
Tims Quality Car Care is a great place to bring your car. When I had my Ford Escape several years ago, they were transparent with me about not wasting any money to fix my issue with it. With my current vehicle, they tell me whats wrong and let me know what absolutely needs to be fixed to give me the option of getting everything done or the important stuff done. I highly recommend them.
My wife and I have been going to Tims for 20+ yrs. Never had a problem. Always courteous, professional and friendly service. Would recommend with highest praise!Jeff Green Metairie
I love this place. That grumpy d-bag who seems angry youre even trying to get his business? None of them here. Everyone is kind and good natured and honest. Been here twice and it is the only place I will ever take any car I own again. Great people, great service, great car work. Cant recommend enough.Edit: they even follow up to make sure the service went well! I have never seen an auto shop with such excellent service!Double edit: looks like I cant post a new review, so I will just edit this one again. I went in because power steering was shot. They did a quick job, identified some other safety issues my car had, but they never upsell anything. They just lay out options and a recommendation and then let you choose (though it would be wrong to not follow their advice). Same great kind and friendly service, too. Cant recommend this place enough.
I’ve been going to Tim’s Quality Car Care for 5 years, and I’ll never go anywhere else. They treat their customers with courtesy and respect and they keep my car running flawlessly. I also appreciate their diagnosis system which involves a rating system of car issues that go from immediate repair to running smoothly. This way you can decide which car issues you can wait on and which ones need immediate attention. The review also comes with photos of the issues so that you know you’re not being lied to. They are always very quick with the repairs and I’ve never had an issue with anything they’ve done. I recommend them to everyone who wants anything from an oil change to a major repair issue.
I cant say enough good things about Tims. Trust is always my biggest issue with any kind of repair job. A friend recommended Tims to me and from the moment I set foot inside the shop until I had my truck back they were professional and courteous. They addressed each of my concerns and let me know in a professional manner what their concerns with my truck were. If youre having problems with your vehicle take it to Tims, they will take care of you.Here are some of the best things about Tims:1. They do a full inspection of your vehicle and then send you a link to the inspection report which comes with pictures of your vehicle, informational videos on the various vehicle systems, and Tims recommendations for each system on your vehicle. This is great for making an informed decision about your vehicle.2. After getting the report, I went back to the shop to talk with them about the repairs and Nick volunteered to walk me around the vehicle and show me everything they were concerned with and show me what was causing the problems that I had come to the shop for. This is what should always happen when you go to a mechanic or get any kind of repair done. I knew at this point that I could trust them to take care of my vehicles problems because I saw the problems for myself and Nick was able to explain each problem and the best solution for it.3. I feel like they are reasonably priced for the level of service and parts that you get. The invoice was very detailed, so I knew exactly what I paid for.4. They do quality repairs in a reasonable amount of time. They did a lot of work to my truck, including replacing the entire suspension and they did it in a day and a half. I was actually surprised when I asked how long it would take and they said it would be done within the next two days. They also took the time to test drive my truck on the interstate to make sure everything was perfect before they gave it back to me.My truck feels like a brand new truck, its amazing. I would highly recommend Tims. Its a great shop with great people who are very professional and courteous. If you need work done on your vehicle call Tims, you wont regret it.Thanks Tims! You guys are awesome!
I do most of my car maintenance myself so I dont often get to interact with a repair shop but these guys are great. I was treated professionally with all communication upfront. The digital inspection including pictures is a huge value add to the service you receive. I was not upsold on unnecessary services and my A/C was repaired quickly.
Tim’s is by far the most trustworthy, thorough, & knowledgeable mechanic shop I’ve been to in a long time. They get things done in a timely manner & efficiently communicate with their clients throughout the process of repair. Love the online checklist they provide about your car’s ‘health’ & the thank you letter they send after every visit. Wonderful guys!
Tims is a first-class auto service shop. They are always honest and can diagnose problems that other shops cant. They take great care of my vehicles and have never let me down.
We had a wonderful experience at Tim’s! My engine light came on flashing 3 hours away from New Orleans late on Friday afternoon and Tim allowed me to come in off of the interstate, scanned the engine and fixed the cylinder problems in 1 1/2 hours. No dealership would take me for 5 more days! AND he personally drove me to my moms house to wait. They were dependable, delightful, timely and fixed the problem. What a relief!! My family will be switching our New Orleans based cars to this wonderful family owned business! Highly recommend!!👍
Tim and his staff are both great mechanics and great people. Honest and thoughtful, they go above and beyond to make sure you understand whats going on with your car and lay out the options of what can be done within your budget (if you have one). They treat you really well and respect you as a car owner. Definitely will return!
I held back from writing a negative review because I wanted to believe they made an honest mistake but since taking my car to other places to get serviced I have found more and more things that were done completely wrong on my vehicle due to Tim’s. They are a family owned business and I would have loved to support a family business but they overcharged, did unnecessary replacements on my car and time and time again gave me misinformation. During one of our flooding days here in New Orleans my car engine completely stopped working. I was not in the flood waters when it happened but I had been driving so I assumed at some point water had gotten in their and messed it up. Tim’s told me that my engine was ruined beyond fixing (I have a 2011 rav4 at the time with less than 80k miles) they quoted me $7,000 to put a new engine in it! I was considering it because I believed the car was still worth is since it didn’t even have 100k miles and had been reliable prior to this. Someone suggested I get a second opinion so I took it to another mechanic who tinkered with it and fixed it in a matter of a day for $250!!! That is a huge difference! It’s been running smoothly for months now. Even then I didn’t want to write a bad review because that mechanic said he believed they made an honest mistake (a pretty big damn mistake but OK). Now I’ve taken it to the Toyota dealership to get an oil change and have them check it over again. Now I come to find out the Cabin Air Filter was put in wrong, and I quote, “ Someone just smashed it up in there” so basically it’s not filtering because it’s all smashed up and bent! Now Tim’s was the one that put that in! On top of all that they give ridiculous quotes and if you don’t know any better you will think it’s normal! They fixed my shocks and struts for a few thousand when they didn’t even need to be completely re-done. They quoted me a couple thousand to replace my catalytic converter which from experience with other cars I’ve actually bought that part myself and I know it only costs a couple hundred and then labor shouldn’t be a couple thousand!! Overall I do not know their intentions so I guess I have to assume they are very uneducated on cars or they truly do not care about their customers!!!! I would give them 0 stars if I could!
Absolutely wonderful experience at Tims! Went in for a brake issue- they examine your entire vehicle and send you a web link with pictures and explanations of any issues! Defintely zero pressure to fix anything more than you expected, but great to have this knowledge. Tim even gave me a ride home since I had to leave my car. Amazing work, incredible customer service!! I even received a thank to note a few days later. Love the personal touch, feels like family! Will be giving all of my business to Tims from now on!
Tims Quality Car Care is fair, prompt and great with communication. We would recommend him to anyone looking for quality car care.
I recently moved to the New Orleans area and decided to try Tims when I had car trouble. The folks there could not have been more professional, kind, and knowledgable! The inspection report they created for my car was incredibly detailed and comprehensive - I have never seen anything quite like it. They fixed my car quickly and made the entire procese easy for me. Above all else, they treated me like I was a part of their family. I will never take my car anywhere else!!!
The customer service was absolutely amazing. I will recommend this shop to anyone in the nola area! I spoke with Nick (who was very thorough and honest) about an inspection. He also took the time to discuss my options and gave helpful recommendations. I will absolutely ask for Nick next time I need car advice!
First time here. They fixed my flat. Actually enjoyed it. Very friendly people and competent. Will come back in the future.
Affordable, friendly, and good at what they do. I will definitely be a return customer. I highly recommend Tim’s Quality Car Care.
