This is the ONLY place in the valley that I will trust with my vehicles. Kris and Jessica are always very communicative, honest and wonderful. Their team is amazing too. I always know that my vehicles are in great hands with them and that I will get honest information and great pricing. Definitely recommend to anyone in the valley!

Excellent and trustworthy. When I moved to the area I was so nervous about finding a new shop to take care of my Jeep. Thankfully I found them. Three years later I feel like I am coming in to see old friends. Absolutely the best service, and the service is so personal. I never have to find a new shop again!!! Thank you thank you

I would highly recommend The KAR Shop to anyone. I had an issue with my engine and they were able to fit me in immediately. Took care of the issue in a timely and professional manner. Best customer service!

By far, the best mechanic in town. Kris and the crew are amazing! They give you honest recommendations and great prices. We’ve refer all our friends and family there. And have taken many cars to the KAR Shop.

You can find better if you shop around and do your research. They are way too expensive because of upcharging parts and astronomical shop prices due to overhead. Please don’t pay so much, go somewhere else. It never hurts to get a second or third opinion! This is what I’ve done and, found less expensive options!

First time going to the KAR shop, they did great quality work on a catalytic converter and A/C repair. Both Jessica and Kris were always available to answer any questions and understanding with any concerns. They were able to get my car diagnosed and fixed within 48 hours, which was much appreciated. Though they may not be the most inexpensive, they are reasonably priced for the quality of work they do. I would recommend the KAR shop to family and friends.

Kris (the ‘K’ in KAR shop) is awesome. Jessica is awesome. The #1 reason we continue to come back is trust. Kris has proven to us time and time again that he is trustworthy. When we had an older minivan, the most valuable visits were where Kris was strait forward about what we DIDN’T need to do/fix. That is a trait that is hard to find - most places (especially dealers) will try to sell you a ton of non-essential services. Kris tells it strait - what you need and what you don’t need. We’ve brought cars in for a purchase inspection - the shop helped us avoid purchasing cars that had hidden problems. Thank you Kris, Jessica and all that work there! We will keep recommending you to others!

The Kar Shop has been an excellent business for all my car maintenance and repairs. Staff is efficient and friendly. Kris follows up after work is done. The Kar Shop is 5* operation in all aspects.

Every time I have taken my car in, the problem is diagnosed quickly, and the work is performed in a workman-like and professional manner. Based on comparisons to other repair shops and dealerships I have used, their prices are always reasonable. I wouldnt think of going anywhere else.

Thank you Kris, Jessica at front desk & shop team! My sister takes her car here & suggested I give it a try for my car. I was very happy that I did. I received a text with a link that gave me a break down of what was going on with my car. It was awesome. Then you call & talk to Jessica & she goes over everything in the break down that you received & tells you the cost on everything & how long it will take to do the repairs & then you tell her what you want to go forward with the repairs. If youre not able to get everything done & not sure which repair to get done first, Jessica will tell you what is the most important repair & which ones can wait awhile. The price of repairs are more than fair and affordable. I was pleased with the price of my repairs. They are friendly, caring, professional & easy to talk to. The owner checks on you a day or two later to make sure you are happy with the repairs. My car definitely drove better & no more squeaky breaks. I am very Happy! Thank you Kris, Jessica & the whole Kar Shop team for your hard work!!!!!

They do good work and they stand by the repairs. They tend to be pretty busy so plan ahead to get your repair done. But its worth it to work with them.

The Kar Shop is the ONLY place we take our cars! Weve been to many mechanics, but none of them have ever taken care of our cars the way Kris does. Theyre honest, trustworthy, reasonably priced, and they always follow up to make sure your car is running as expected. I wouldnt trust any one else to take care of our cars!

I want to big a shout out to THE KAR SHOP. They take pride in what they do and offer!I have had both my cars serviced by them and I cant even go into details the leaps and bounds they have gone to overcome and issue with one of my vehicles that had stumped multiple mechanics.I highly recommend you consider using them for your auto needs, Big or small!

They have made repairs on both my cars. Had motor mounts put in the civic and one of them turned out to be a bad part and they fixed it no problem. They will honor their work and take care of you.

Review №18

Very popular shop but they always have time to listen to your car troubles in tandem with an automated system, which I think is a +. Bought a used car and needed a few repairs to pass emissions and they were able to diagnose several electronic issues within 72 hours and had it working within the following week. Fair price for the professional work and all completed in timely manner. Kar Shop are down to earth people who just love cars, also wanted to mention that Kris hooked me up a few years ago with a wheel-well when I was in a bind so props for the good vibes.

Just used KAR shop for the first time and will absolutely be using again. Their service was punctual and fair. They have an update platform which is the best I have seen displaying everything you need done in order of priority. Advanced technology, honest service and respond instantly... what else could you ask for

Review №23

Kris and his team are always so helpful and they go above and beyond to diagnose a problem. I took my car in after the A/C wouldnt blow air into the main cabin. They looked and looked and tried to duplicate the problem but it was working just fine for them. They did not charge me to look for the problem and they were honest about the fact that the air was working just fine. I had them change the oil while I was there, and they told me that if it ever happened again, to drive the car straight over and they would find the issue! I have complete confidence in the Kar Shop!!!

Front desk is friendly but that’s about it! Took car in for a simple oil change and ended up having to add oil when I got home after checking once engine was cooled down! The oil still looks brown like it wasn’t changed! The mechanic was soo unfriendly it was laughable! Told him thanks and he looked at me and scowled! The one time I let someone change my oil and that’s the service I get! Never again!

Review №34

The most honest mechanics Ive ever encountered. Highly recommend. My car wouldnt start one morning, so thinking it might just be the battery, I jump started, but it didnt work.Took my car to Kar Shop and they told me it was the battery after all. The cables were loose and thats why it wasnt working. They charged the battery back up, Kept it overnight to make sure that next day it was still working... and it was. They checked the fluids, tire pressure and sent me on my way with NO CHARGE!!! Just a big Smile!!!What other business does that nowadays. AMAZING!! Thanks Chris and Josh

I dropped my jeep off at the KAR Shop on a Monday afternoon and was set to go Tuesday evening. Kris and his team were fast, super friendly, and professional. As a girl, finally finding a team that won’t swindle me and take my money thinking I won’t know better, is so fantastic. They won’t lie to you or overcharge you! I will continue to recommend them to anyone I know.Thanks again for the great service!

Review №47

Hands down the best auto place you will find. Not only are their prices fair and staff honest, but Chris doesnt charge to just look at something and shoot you an estimate on how much it will be to fix it. (Unlike other places that charge $200+). Ive been coming here for a few years and have always been taken care of. Theyve even given me a ride home once when it was going to be too long to wait there for my car. Cant get any better than this.

Kris the owner is great! Walked in promptly greeted me, was straight forward and honest. Quoted me on a great price for my vehicle .. Definitely customer first..

One of (sadly) very few places I have ever been able to give five stars. Kris is as knowledgeable about all makes and models of cars as he is fair with his customers. I have been going to him since he opened his doors, and have recommended anyone who needs car work done, including both of my daughters. He and his staff have solved several quirky issues with both of my vintage cars, as well as my daughters late-models. If you need a mechanic, go in and talk to Kris; you wont be disappointed!

Excellent shop. The best in Arizona. Kris knows what he is talking about and will give you a straight and HONEST answer about your vehicle and will fix it right. My wifes Denali broke down while I was out of town. With 2 kids at school and a 4 month old at home she was beyond stressed. I had her tow it to The KAR shop and Kris had the problem diagnosed and fixed in plenty of time for my wife to pick the kids up from school. Thanks Kris.

My vehicle had a charging issue that I needed taken care of quickly and efficiently. I checked the reviews of shops near me and found great reviews of KAR Shop which was only about a mile from home. I called Kris just before closing and he talked me through the issue and said he could get me in first thing the next morning. My car was towed at 8:00am and by 10:30am I received a call with a diagnosis and price. By 12:30pm the vehicle was complete and at a reasonable price. Cant recommend KAR Shop enough. Thanks for the quick and easy resolution.
