My Experience

I am so pleased with the quality of service that C.A.R.S. provided the Honda CR-V. They took the time and care to go over all the details and fix the front end properly. They have the best deal in town on Saturdays, full brakes all the way around for the low! Great deal, great customer service, I feel like family. Michelle and everyone I met was pleasant and helpful and more than caring. Thank you!!!

My Experience

I had a wonderful experience at C.A.R.S. There was clear communication about costs and repairs, timely and accurate work, fair pricing, and an honest and knowledgeable staff who explain options thoroughly.

My Experience

Communication is key! First off she showed me pictures of what is wrong with my car to prove to me what’s going on. Then they gave me a fair price (I came to CARS to get a second opinion- gave me the same diagnosis but a way better price)and then called me when the part got there.I felt at ease while my car was getting fixed and that has never happened. Thank you for that. hopefully I don’t need you guys again very soon, but I will definitely come back. Communication & customer service was top-notch.

My Experience

My Experience

Call in the middle of the night on a Sunday 530 to be precise in the morning and Michele was there to answer my call and help me with any service needs even though they weren’t open great prices great work great people they treat you like family not just a customer I highly recommend their services.

My Experience

Always so grateful for all of you! I cannot begin to explain how thankful I am to have the CARS family take care of our family of cars. Having multiple cars to take care of would be extra stressful if I didn’t have a place I could trust, but I know every time I take any of our cars to you they will be in great hands. Thank you for always doing outstanding work and providing exceptional service.

My Experience

Looks great!!!

My Experience

The smallest things didn’t go unnoticed. My car was all shined up for me when I got it back. Vacuum was done on the inside (which was not requested) made me feel like they just went the extra mile to put a smile on my face. The constant updates and reassurance was a bonus. Thank you all for being a blessing after a frustrating time.

My Experience

Hi i was satisfied with the repair from the owner introducing me to his services and everything getting figured out in a timely manner. I did come in with an idea of what the solution to just fix what i may think what the problem is which was the ignition switch. I really appreciate the technician’s diagnosis and his time. The fact that i was compensated an hour and a few other services was an amazing experience. Thankful but either way its was best to diagnose the truck for the technician to better understand what hes working on. Overall i was completely satisfied and happy with the repair i payed for and i would definitely recommend C.A.R.S service to people
