It's that time of year where the car needs just about everything - an inspection, and oil change,…read moreand a registration renewal. The registration was easy! But I had been dreading the inspection and the oil change. We had JUST found a mechanic we liked in the last area, and then we moved. And y'all know how hard it is to find a trustworthy mechanic! I have also had a check engine light popping on and off for months, something I was worried would cost a lot of money and time to fix, and possibly prevent us from passing our yearly inspection. A family member recommended King's Auto Service. She swore up and down that they were the best! So after calling a few other local places I called King's. I liked them immediately because they were the first place to tell me that they could not give a set quote for the work we needed - it may take less or more time, and it may not be a part that has to be replaced at all, it could be something less complicated like a clog. They seemed friendly and knowledgeable. So I made the appointment and waited about 2 weeks to bring the car in. When I dropped it off the check engine light had disappeared AGAIN. But they were able to get to the bottom of it anyway (it was just a quick wiring fix and did not need to be replaced after all), give us the oil change, perform the inspection, and replace a couple of bulbs in no time at all. And the cost was reasonable! I also want to add that they have the cheapest oil changes I have seen in quite a while, a whopping $20 less than every other place I have checked. So far we are definitely happy customers, and we plan to go back for any other work the car may need. (Hopefully not TOO soon though!) Highly recommend!

I seriously can not say enough nice things about these guys. Give them a chance to win your business you will never go to another garage again! They have done brake work, exhaust work & we have gotten 2 new sets of tires from them, plus they have done inspections on both of our vehicles. I have always been impressed with their customer service, they really take good care of their customers, you will not get better service anywhere. When they did brake work for me, I said I wanted the best brakes on my vehcile & they came back with "that price is for the top of the line brakes, we only use the best parts available." WOW I have never had a garage say that they automatically use the best parts, they usually price quote you the cheapest parts & you have to ask for the higher quality parts!

Now original service…read morerequested is worse Can't drive car Spent the money on pump that wasn't urgent - at the shop recommendation They knew I limited budget. Went for the higher price service that was not an issue UPDATE: 7/12 I took my car to another auto shop to have the exhaust system serviced They were very honest about the condition of my car They recommended that I do not put anymore money/repairs into it because the frame is so corroded with rust it is not safe to drive, It will never pass inspection and It would be dangerous to keep driving it at this point. The point is .... I should have been notified of this when I originally took the car in for service the first time at the end of April If it was put on a lift to look at the exhaust system - it would have been discovered the car is beyond repair Since the exhaust was not serviced as requested I am assuming the car never made it onto the lift So yes - I am not a happy customer Over $600 dollars for a water pump that I did not need, exhaust issue not addressed and a car that will never pass inspection again More importantly- there where major safety concerns that could have been detrimental to me and my family if an accident have should happened Check your frame ppl.

Upon washing my Civic 2024, I discovered several dents just above the driver's door(!) Before…read morevisiting the "doctor", I was unaware of the more recent innovations of dent removal. Assuming that traditional body work was required, I went to a reputable body work shop and subsequently was sent an estimate. Yelp steered me in a better direction. The doctor's procedures were more straightforward, didn't require repainting and his estimate was less than half of the body shop's and cut the time to part of a day instead of 2 days. The job was done promptly and properly - you'd be hard pressed to located where the dents were. There's another reason you should visit the doctor - these guys are easily some of most nicest (for lack of better words) you'll meet - they will treat you well.

Took several pics for Scott and sent to his Cell…read more He then called me and we discussed all the dents in detail as far as lengths and locations twice. Scot verbally quoted $400.00 Scott also confirmed the $400.00 price via text. I drove out to the business and the moment I got there Scott's memory began to rapidly decay. "I didn't give you a price did I ? " ( No Scott I randomly wanted to WASTE my time and drive 30 miles out of the way ). I quickly confirmed the stated price ( it was clear Scott wanted to renege me on the price ). Interesting how Scott wasn't willing to give a cash discount but was willing g to not charge tax so he will gladly have the customer only get a measly 8% discount while he will take a 35% freebie from taxes. I offered to split it but Scott was greedy and repeated he will "let" me pay $400.00 cash ( Thank you Scott mighty kind of you ) While on phone we both discussed the approx length of the crease I stated "approx 10" Scott repeated what I said So Scott starts pounding on door then suddenly "needs more" money Scot stated a body shop "will charge $3,000.00" to repair the door - actually Scott the price is $1,400.00 plus tax So basically Scott is fine to 1.) not pay his taxes 2.) not provide a discount while he's getting a cash ( no tax is NOT a discount - it's being GREEDY 3.) allow me to drive 30 miles 4.) not keep his word 5.) state a ridiculous repair "at a body shop" 6.) increase his price 200% 7.) have a failing memory about price and the phone convo Anyone that is a moving target such as Scott is not anyone I'd recommend - NEVER. Scott is very Smart guy that likes to play Dumb when it works in his favor - those are what you call a sham artist. Scott do you suddenly charge by the inch - Ha Well 10"/12" = is 13% larger of 1 of 3 dents Better to have not be greedy since I went out of my way as well Even tho I had it in a written text Can't he trusted
