Had my Audi S5 towed here after it leaked transmission fluid and stopped running. They were honest friendly knowledgeable professional fast and affordable. I highly recommend them and will be using them for both my Audi's. read more

Brought our Land Rover here for a coolant leak that no one else could locate, not only did they first me in last minute my truck was repaired ( properly this time) and I was informed of everything as it happened. The owner called and kept me updated . He also let me know of an upcoming oil change , he never pressured me to do it just let me know if I wanted to get it done he could do it then or schedule an appointment when it was due. The cost of my repair and full syn oil change was less than the stealership charges for the oil change. We will definitely be back when the truck needs any more work. read more

Fantastic customer service, great quality and extremely fair pricing makes Carolina Auto Repair our go to mechanic!

Our main home is 6 hrs from here but we're in MB 4-6 mos/yr, so I needed a reliable, honest mechanic here. Spoke with Chris about repairs to my Firebird, which I am very particular about. He was knowledgeable & explained things well and his friendly attitude helped me feel at ease leaving my car for repairs for the day. Turns out, parts had to be ordered (that wasn't originally expected), so the car had to be left there over the weekend, which made me very uncomfortable. Chris assured me the car would be taken care of & safe while there. He gave me the new estimated cost and we moved forward with it. Car was ready when he said & the final bill was under the total estimated cost! He even did a minor repair at no cost! Highly recommend C.A.R.S for your vehicle! We will def be going back when needed! read more

Excellent service, friendly, professional! When the BMW dealership couldn't get me for an oil light issue for several days, no loaner, no ride home, and snooty rude customer service (if you can call it that), I went to Carolina Auto Repair. They said it was just that the dealership did not do a reset at my last service, They didn't charge me anything. They have a new customer!!! read more

Chris was extremely knowledgeable with German cars and a huge help with my girlfriend's 2013 BMW x5. We had driven from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach and the strut bushing had a problem causing a loud squeaking noise. Chris was able to discern the problem and order the parts promptly on a Friday afternoon. Although we had to stay a day later in MB than originally planned for Chris to fix the car on Monday. Chris had us up and running by noon Monday and we drove back to Atlanta with no issues. Chris also showed us what three old strut/bushings looked like, they were worn out and appreciate him taking the time to explain. I highly recommend this shop for the quality work! read more

Carolina Auto Repair Specialists: A 5-Star Experience My wife and I traveled to Myrtle Beach by car. One evening, I noticed that our car's radiator fan remained on even after the engine was turned off. I assumed it would stop eventually, but unfortunately, it didn't and drained the battery overnight. The next morning, I needed to find a good auto shop nearby and came across Carolina Auto Repair Specialists, which had straight 5-star ratings by Yelp and many positive reviews. Without hesitation, I drove straight there. Mr. Chris Kousoulou assisted me even though I didn't have an appointment. The total cost was reasonable: just for half an hour of labor plus a $20 radiator temperature relay. I am completely satisfied with the service and felt fortunate to have found such a reliable mechanic. This experience is particularly reassuring as we are considering purchasing a vacation home in the area. In hindsight, I should have disconnected the battery to prevent the fan from draining it and saved myself the trouble of needing a jump start. read more

Service was excellent. We chose C.A.R.S because of the excellent reviews. They deserved every one. We could not have been more pleased. Highly recommended! read more

Drove from Virginia to Vacation in Myrtle Beach and brought my Toyota Sienna Minivan that I do not drive often to get checked out- They replaced My Shocks and Struts and it drives like a new van! Thank you so much, I wish you guys were in VA! read more

Very friendly and efficient. Fit us in and quickly diagnosed the issue our van was having and got it fixed in no time. Thankful yo find a trustworthy and reliable mechanic. read more

Good service, Good prices. Took alot of time. But I told him to take his time. So overall great service.........

Chris diagnosed and solved a major problem with my car's engine that Honda's service dept could not figure out. I wish I had just gone to Chris first and not wasted my time at Honda. Chris kept us informed with updated pricing as he worked through the issue and what parts would need replacing. He called several times while he had the vehicle just to keep us updated. Stellar service. read more

I had recently bought a Honda Fit and it started acting very weird- knocking noises, idle going fast and then slow... I was really worried that I had been "had". I read the reviews of CARS and called them to see if I could make an appointment. Chris told me to just swing by and he would take a look at it (This alone is amazing, in my opinion!).So I stopped by, and opened the hood. Chris stood listening to the engine for a couple of minutes, noticed that there was a new AC compressor, and diagnosed that there was too much freon in the AC system. I mean how random is that?? He drove the car into the shop and adjusted the pressure of the freon (remember, I didn't have an appointment!)The car inmediately started running perfectly. He drove the car out of the shop and indicated I should get in. He wasn't going to even charge me! I insisted that he take some money because of how he had fixed my car and also made my life so easy!!Needless to say, I'm a fan for life. If you're in the area and you need a brilliant mechanic, CARS (and Chris) is where you should go!! read more

Car was overheating while idling for too long so I scheduled an appointment with C.A.R.S. I knew what the problem was already and they diagnosed the same thing with me over the phone which made me trust them right off the bat. I paid a little more than what I thought it would be but then again I'm not currently nor have I ever been a mechanic and I haven't had any car repairs in the last few years while our economy has tanked and inflation has risen. So don't trust google when it tells you what something might cost at a repair shop. But the work was extremely quick and Chris was very helpful, will be going back here for any future repairs. read more

Truck needed a water pump , being new to the area didn't know where to take it. After reading reviews I called Chris. Glad I did, he took my truck right in and took car of the pump. I also suspected I needed brakes which he took car of and checked the truck over. Talking to Chris he made me feel comfortable and confident about the work he did. Thanks Chris. read more

My "to go" place when my car is acting up. Chris is a man! I can trust my car to him anytime!

Had electrical ghosts I couldn't identify. Took the car in expecting it to be there days and cost who knows how much. Problem was quickly identified and resolved. The issue was the cylinder in the ignition. Apparently dirty, it didn't recognize the key had been removed, leaving system functions on and draining the battery overnight. Instead of a complete replacement or upsales, they took it apart and cleaned it. Works perfectly know!!! read more

As a female going anywhere to get my car worked on is an awful experience. This place is completely trust worthy and helpful. My mirror broke once and I called them and they got me in no problem and quickly fixed my mirror. I now come to them for my regular maintenance and oil changes. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my car. They know what they are doing and are extremely trustworthy! read more

Was on vacation when a taillight blew out. Called here and was told to just stop in. No appointment and he fixed the light in 5-10 minutes. Can't thank him enough for his fast,friendly service. read more

Called for a oil change. Started on time. Work was done well. No upsell on stuff they found. Great experience to get what I needed and pleasant experience since we were traveling. Definitely will get work done there next year when we are back. read more

I never go anywhere else. I was using Chris for maybe 15 years in New Jersey and was worried about how I could rely on auto repair service and TRUST my mechanic. Then, Chris told me he was coming to MYRTLE BEACH. Chris is an expert mechanic with experience and training from dealers including Mercedes Benz, Nissan, Jeep, and others before going out on his own. When I go to Chris, I give him the keys and say 'do whatever we need to do.' I trust him that much. His work is excellent. He is affordable and I trust him implicitly. read more

They were SO quick and professional! We were stranded on a road trip from WI to SC and they took us in immediately, and VERY reasonable. Did not take advantage of our emergency, offered to deliver us to our hotel instead of waiting. Highly recommend! read more

My car was in need of repairs called in and spoke with Chris. He was was able to take care of my car looked the entire vehicle over told me what I needed and car was repaired within days. I couldn't be happier at not only how quick my car was done but was very reasonable. We were so pleased that we dropped my boyfriend's truck off and his was also completed rather quickly. Will definitely return for all of our car repairs and maintenance. read more

My wife's 2013 Jaguar XF turbocharger went out, and I was looking for a shop to do the maintenance on it. I found this shop online and let me tell you, Chris did an outstanding job of replacing the turbocharger. The price was extremely reasonable and job was completed in a day. I will be taking the car there for service in the future. Thanks Chris for help the you gave. Great people, shop, and price. read more

Chris is great to work with and does quality work! He has always responded quickly to my phone calls and messages. I highly recommend him!

Chris is my guardian angel, my knight in shining armor. I moved to the area a few weeks ago.My first week in the area the engine light comes on in my car. I researched for a mechanic that works on Mini Coppers to my surprise there are almost none in the area. Very stressed and wishing I had not moved from New Jersey and my mechanic I called my daughter who lives in New Jersey. She heard the stress in my voice and sent me a list of mechanics that she found online that claimed they work on foreign cars. I called a few with no luck and a lot of excuses as to why they couldn't see my car for two or three days or it was going to cost a hundred and fifty dollars just for them to look at it. I then called Chris and asked him if he worked on foreign cars he state yes, I then asked if he worked on Mini Coopers he said it's foreign, yes. I had to laugh, which gave me some relief. He told me I could bring it in that day. I brought it in and a couple of hours later my car was fixed. While there I learned Chris and his family was from New Jersey. I now feel comfortable and secure that I have a mechanic that I can trust with my car who has reasonable rates and cares for his clients. He is not looking to rip you off with outlandish repair prices. He is looking to have clients who become more than just people who bring their car to him. He is looking to have the people whose cars he works on become extended family and friends. Chris is my knight in shining armor and C.A.R.S is where I will always take my car. read more
