The engine arrived quicker than expected and I received a call a couple of months later to make sure it was working for me and another follow up just under a year to make sure it was still working great. Best customer service in the world!
I ordered a rebuilt 2.4L JDM for a Scion TC off of eBay from this company, The motor arrived two weeks earlier than was promised by (George), by the way whom was very knowledgeable and professional. The motor was immaculate you can tell by the appearance that workmanship was excellent. I installed motor and it fired up right away with no leaks or problems. The motor purrs like a kitten. I highly recommend Kar-King I have had a good experience with them, and their pricing is reasonable, I am a real customer, you can look me up on Facebook under (Mario Angelino) in Ohio. I definitely will do business again with this Company.
Hands down, one of the best in the industry. I have already bought an engine from them and they killed it with service and shipping! I will continue to do business with them now and in the future. They know there stuff. Do not hesitate in getting an engine or service from them!
Brought in my 2010 Toyota Corolla for a transmission replacement and George had it done quickly and efficiently! Very happy with the service and would recommend to anyone! Thanks Kar King!
I bought a remanufactured enging from Sharper Edge Engines in Jacksonville, Florida and was emsiling them to get my Bill Of Lading so I couls send my enging core back to them.as explained to me in a previous email. When I get a phone call from Kar King Auto. The man on the phone proceeded to tell me Sharper Edge Engines contacted him to contact me to try and get me to remove the Timing Chain cover & just send that to him. When I said, engine is at my mechanics he said well have him do it then ship it to me & keep the core. When I said No, I was told in an email to send the core back to Sharper Edge, if you want the timing chain cover thats between you & sharper edge. He cursed me out & hung up on me. So now Im still waiting for my Bill of Lading from Sharper Edge. If I dont get it, I guess the motor gets scrapped. EDITED, JULY 1ST. Bring it on sally, youre sure a tough guy behind your keyboard. Typical cabron
Im in colorado. I have all the emails I sent to Jorge. I can forward them to you if youd like. It was invoice 23504. Jorge charged me 200 over the price of the engine over the phone saying I was paying for 12 months more of extended warranty. Engine was only 1500, was charged 1700 plus 250 delivery fee. Oil pan arrived dented from poor delivery, and Jorge just said use my old oil pan...didnt pay 1900 bucks to reuse my old parts. Then after I had shop inspect engine, sent details of issues engine had to Jorge who never responded, and when I called at the time, no one would answer.
I needed a motor for my daughters Sonata. George saved me thousands of dollars compared to the other options that were available. He is very knowledgeable and his customer service is excellent. He went above and beyond to get me a the motor as soon as possible. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.
Just wanted to give kar kings a shout out for great customer service and great products. Thankful for the honestly and getting our motor delivered on time and working efficiently.
George got me a transmission built and shipped quickly. It arrived on my doorstep in less than a week with no issues.10/10 will do business with them again!
Kar King sold me a rebuilt engine that was not properly rebuilt. It has a engine code of P0022 which is indicative of Timing Chain and/or Camshaft phaser problems. The engine rattles, has less power, and has very poor gas mileage. On a full tank Im only getting 160 miles when my old engine would get atleast 280-300 miles per fill-up. This is due to the Camshaft phaser not being able to adjust the engine timing as needed due to KarKing Auto not correctly reassembling the engine they sold me. in order to fix the mechanic shop needs to replace the camshaft phaser and redo the timing chain alignment which is a very expensive job. Seller asked me to remove the engine which would cost me another $1000 and then ship it back to him which would be an additional $300. Then I would have to pay the same mechanic another $1000 to place a new engine from elsewhere in my truck. The timing chain job is quoted to be a $3500 job at the local Toyota Dealership. I initially only asked for half and the seller still declined to make things right and only offered me returning the engine from Texas back to California. Stay away from these guys unless you like being scammed.
First, I would like to preface this review with a word of advice - If you are contemplating using Kar King for your automotive needs, stop contemplating and DO IT! George was absolutely A-MAZING! I was in need of motor for my 2014 Kia Sorento - after receiving 2 other incorrect motors from 2 other companies - George came through for us. He assured us from the start that he knew exactly what we needed and it would in fact, be the correct motor. To ease my mind, he sent pictures of the motor before it was even finished and shipped so my mechanic could confirm that it was correct. At this point, I had motors shipped from different parts of the country and constantly waiting for motors to arrive only to see that they were incorrect and had to be shipped back across the country before I could get my money back and purchase yet another motor. When I found Kar King, I was waiting for $4,500 in returns from these other companies and George outdid them in professionalism, promptness and pricing, hands down. He knew how in need of a motor I was and had been without a vehicle for 2 months at that point - he worked even harder and had my motor done almost a week before he quoted. You cant go wrong with Kar King, I promise!!!!
I own a shop in Utah and ordered a Rebuilt motor from them. Beautiful work! They handled everything from getting the motor to my shop to getting the core back to them. Highly recommend.
I got a rebuilt transmission on my 02 Sequoia. I shopped around and compared prices and George was on the low end, like very low end of the spectrum. He was referred to me by someone who used him so my trust factor going in was high. They did what they said they were going to do and i was happy. THENNN something happened with my Trans and i was so super busy and live out of the area. When i finally went back it was past my Warranty by a few months I forget exactly... I was kind of worried. HOWEVERRRRR they took car of it free of charge or maybe I to pay for a part or something, I forget exactly bc this was over 3 years ago (Sorrryyyy George this review is over due!) My over all experience was excellent.... 2 big thumbs up. I recommend this place 1000%
They sold me a rebuilt 2005 Rav4 Engine. They sent me the bill by email and I paid it with papal. The engine was defective. They are creating lots of stress for me. I have to pay to have the engine removed they came to pickup their engine today but they keep my core. I called and I asked for my core and I was told that they may send me another engine when the find one. Meanwhile my wife is without a car I do not have money to buy another engine until papal finish with their investigation which may take about 30 days. They are very unprofessional they do not returned emails because I was told by a person with the name of George I do not know if that is real name that he does not like people telling him what to do. He know that the engine that he sold me was defective. I do not know what to do this is the first time that I deal with a seller that is very unprofessional. Check with the CA secretary for their corporation and I was not able to find them.
I couldnt be more pleased with George and Kar King! I spun a rod bearing in my 2001 Toyota Camry (4 cyl engine) after accidentally running it out of oil because of a fast leak. Its in great shape, but local shops in the San Jose area told me Id be spending $6,000 or so for a rebuilt engine!After doing a Google search for rebuilt engines for a Camry, I found Kar Kings web site. Their prices seemed quite low, but I thought Id take a chance. George gave me a very good quote on swapping the new engine into the car in their facility. I figured I could have the car transported down to Ontario from the San Jose area, then fly down and drive it back when it was done, for much less than Id pay for a local shop to do it.I described my plan to George, and he told me that quite a few people from distances even greater than mine (about 400 miles) had already done the same thing. He even offered to have me picked up at the curb from Ontario Airport!They did an excellent job, the engine runs great (I have about 1,000 miles on it so far), and I couldnt be more pleased with their work. Even after paying a professional car transporter, buying a one-way Southwest Airlines ticket, and buying food and gas for the 6 hour drive back, Im way ahead. Id go to Kar King again anytime!
Several months ago my engine blew out on my Yukon Denali. I love my car and didnt want to trade it in. We were referred to Jorge by a friend of my husband, and I am so glad! They put a rebuilt engine in my car, and it has been running great for five months now. They also had me come back free of charge to double check everything, and even gave me a ride back to work. Jorge has been awesome and is always available to help and answer any questions I have about my car. Thanks Jorge!!!!
Kar King provided an estimate to me in writing and then gave me a time line for the expectation of completion for my motor. They picked up the car from my home. They confirmed the issue, and provided me the timely estimate. Once I accepted they matched everything they promised in getting the parts required and putting it all together at the scheduling agreed upon time. Thank you George and Your Team for taking care of Business!!! I highly recommend this place!!!
Working with George was clear and easy, he was able to build our engine and ship our purchase across country. The purchase price and shipping costs were well within our budget. The engine was mounted and works perfectly. We will look for more projects that Kar King can help us with.Thank you!Max
My 2008 Kia 2.4 Theta engine with 103K miles seized last spring, so I needed a new engine. I checked around and on eBay, but used engines with over 100K engines were selling for $1800. Since Kia 2.4 engines are known to develop piston slap, I knew I did not want a high mileage used engine, but new engines were nearly $5000. Then I found Kar King Auto which rebuilds engines, has in business since 1988 and charges ½ what a new engine costs. I checked their BBB ratings and they have a B- rating, which is good considering so many things can go wrong when rebuilding an engine. I spoke to Jorge, who is very knowledgeable with my engine model and while he did not have one ready to ship, he said he could rebuild one and ship it in a couple days. I received the new engine in less than a week. The engine came all assembled and cleaned minus the valve cover, but Jorge told me, I would need to reuse my old one; which I did. The new engine sounds and runs like new. The only issue I had was some of the gaskets that Jorge shipped with the engine did not fit, but I blame the gasket manufacturer for that.
I ordered a 2.2L engine for my 1999 S-10 pick-up. I installed the engine myself so I became very well acquainted with this engine.I did not have any issues with the install. The engine was painted and in great condition, ready to assemble. I took particular care, cleaning and painting the components as I installed them. Every tapped hole was clear and in perfect condition.The engine fired right up! I have a 1500 mile break-in period were I will check the fluids often. It runs and performs great. I am very please with this purchase.
Kar Kings and specifically George were an incredible help. They got my car running beautifully for an amazing price and extremely timely considering it was during the holiday season. Could not recommend this establishment enough.
The reason I have waited so long to post my review is I wanted to wait and see how things were after the 6 month warranty they give with their work expired. It has now been around 7 or 8 months since I purchased a motor and transmission from Kar King and they are running just fine. I would recommend this company to anybody that wants quality work without the inflated price tag. Before Kar King I was quoted $5900.00 from one shop (that was just for the motor w/warranty) and $3700.00 from another (used motor w/o warranty). Since these prices were way out of my price range, I decided to shop around and found Kar King. Not only did I get a new rebuilt motor (with a warranty) I also picked up a rebuilt transmission. I figured might as well do them both since the tranny had around 140,000 miles on it as well and had to be pulled out with the motor (easiest way to do it). The price for motor and trans was $2750.00!!!! Nobody else could even touch this price! Another nice thing about George and his crew is they stand behind their work. Long story short, there was a slight discrepancy concerning the transmission and it had to be sent back to Kar King. I called George and informed him of this. Kar King paid for all the shipping to and from their shop in California. Not only that but when they took another look at it he informed me of a different, more serious problem with my transmission. At this point he called me to let me know what was going on, that they had fixed it and was sending it back with a trans cooler.....FREE OF CHARGE! So to sum it up I think the guys at Kar King do a great job so dont bother looking anywhere else.A very satisfied customer
Recently the transmission went out in my 1991 Geo Metro. This was the original transmission and lasted through 3 engine changes approx. 500,000+ mi. I drove the vehicle till it did not move and had to be towed home. In searching for a new transmission I found Kar KingAuto through their listing on eBay. The price $800.00 appeared to be an excellent price for a rebuilt transmission. After the order was placed and payment cleared, I received the transmission in about 3 days (Northern Ca.). I felt that this was fast shipping. The transmission was well packaged and protected for transit. I have installed the transmission and it works GREAT !!!!! Up shifting and down shifting is nice and smooth and the vehicle is quieter then Ive ever heard it before. The vehicle runs like a new car. Thank you Kar King Auto. I would highly recommend this company if you are in the market for a rebuilt trans.
The guys at Kar King know their business. Their expertise and quality in workmanship coupled with quality customer service and a speedy turn around insures my continued patronage. I was trying to find a part to rebuild my own steering column and not one company wanted to sell me the part I needed, insisting that I buy a whole steering column. George was not only kind enough to locate the part I needed but shipped it from Ontario, Ca to San Diego, Ca and saved me around $200. I have several vehicles and my first call for all my auto parts needs will be to George at Kar King. Thanks George for all your help.
Purchased a transmission for an 84 Toyota truck and George at Kar King was great to deal with and very helpful. I mail ordered this part and was a bit concerned of what I might see in the box when it arrived...well there were no dissappointments! The transmission looked fantastic and after installing it I was 100% pleased with the transmission. I worked with George to get round trip shipping up front which worked perfectly and UPS came right to the door to pick up the old one. I was notified by UPS when my core arrived and Kar King had the core charge back to me in no time. Cant say enough good things about George and Kar King...I will definitely go to them again in the future.
Could not be better to deal with. Workmanship is TOP QUALITY. George has been very helpful and is fast to respond to emails.I recommend Kar King Auto to all my business contacts.
George and the team at Kar King Auto stand behind their work 100%. I had ordered an AX5 rebuilt transmission and had to bring my Jeep in because it would not shift into 2nd gear. They honored their warranty with no hassle and even gave me a break on the re-install in which they also guaranteed their work. I wrench on my own vehicles as I dont trust most mechanics to put everything back in order, but these guys were pretty decent. Saved me a lot of time and overall Im pretty satisfied! Great customer service - Keep up the good attitude and work guys!Editing this review after finding a stripped screw on my belly pan. Not all mechanics can be trusted. Kudos to George still for great customer service!
I must say this was a refreshing experience, I will never forget. This place went above and beyond to service me and save me money. I recommend Kar King to all, based on their honesty and integrity.
I would recommend Kar King to everyone! George shipped my rebuilt engine and got it to me in just the time he stated. My mechanic was impressed with the engine. I have only had it in the car for a week but so far it runs fantastic and oh so nice and quiet.
Ordered a 4g63t for my dsm. Was delivered quick and motor is 550 miles strong so far. Only issue I have is the included gaskets and timing belt are horrible quality. I did not use those. But motor itself runs great.
Kar king rocks always have what I need and never a issue with warrantyz
I ORDERED A REMANUFACTURED MANUAL TRANSMISSION FROM THEM, THEY SHIPPED THE ITEM AS PROMISED. THEY HONORED THEIR WORD ON CORE RETURN AGREEMENT. THEN REFUNDED CORE CHARGE (LITTLE SLOW BUT REFUNDED). THE MANAUAL TRANS OPERATED LIKE A NEW UNIT. ALL GEARS QUIET AND SHIFTED FLAWLESS. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO USE THEM AGAIN.
I bought an AX-15 transmission for a Jeep Wrangler. The product was shipped quickly and was exactly as described. I also called to ask some questions during installation and George was very knowledgeable. If anyone I know needs a new transmission for their Jeep I will definitely recommend Kar King Auto!
George and the guys at Kar King always take care of me. I have been dealing with them for years and each and every time I visit them they have a solution for my rebuilding needs! Thanks guys!
Bought a qr25de long block from them almost a year ago today, 20k on the engine & a year later and works perfectly. George is a cool guy and his prices are unmatched! He even waived my core charge at the time and had my engine here in just over a week. I have referred him plenty in my Nissan group and will continue to do so!
Great Rebuilt Trans and T-Case for a 3000gt VR4! Very Easy To Deal With! Will Definitely Be Doing Business Again! Thanks Guys!
I ordered my 22r motor from these guys today. It started with a question on the phone, and within 4 hours I had the motor I was looking for in front of my garage. Extremely helpful and fast service. Im going to recommend these guys to anyone I hear looking for a motor. Thanks to the staff!
George was most helpful with the transmission we bought for a Geo Metro. He is friendly, prompt and very knowledgeable. Will be dealing with him again for an engine next time! Thank you Gentlemen it was a pleasure doing business with you!
First, a real person answers the phone. The owner, no less, and George cuts right to the chase without any fuss, sales pitch or detours. I am not put on hold or made to listen to soul-killing music; I am not passed on to another department, or told the item is out of stock and will take six weeks to ship.My rebuilt Toyota engine arrived quickly and my mechanic was impressed with what he saw. Now we are both impressed by the performance. My old Toyota pick up is like brand new, runs quiet and smooth. The old core was duly picked up and my account re-embursed. Service throughout was beyond belief excellent, meaning its always easy to connect immediately and in person.Thank you, George, for an uplifting experience at every level, as I was quite heartbroken when my trusty Toy conked out. I am happy to recommend you in my part of California, and wish you and yours nothing but ongoing success.
Very impressed with the service. This is the second time I have bought a motor from Kar King Auto. George sent it to me in San Diego the very next day both times. No one else does that ! Thanks George to you and your team. The motor was very clean and all gaskets came with.
Bought a re-manufactured 5 speed manual transmission for my 1988 Toyota Pickup 4x4 from Kar King at a very fair price. George has been very timely and responsive from day one, answering my questions and closing the sale. Shipping from SoCal to NC was surprisingly fast and seamless. Transmission external appearance and a glimpse inside thru various ports re-build appeared clean. Transmission is now installed and with 150 miles on it, all appears to be good, no complaints. Time will tell. No reason not to rate overall as a 5. Please share this with your crew.
George is great! Helped me with my budget and fixed my car faster than expected! Great place
Best price and quality of trans I found for my vehicle in the country. Shipping was fast and they were easy to get ahold of. 10/10 I will buy from them again.
Simply Perfect Auto wanted to rebuild my engine and replace x2 catalytic converters for $4k just to fix my engine light problem on my 01 toyota 4runner with 230k miles.Kar king fixed my water pump, timing belt, belts and water hoses. They also checked out my vehicle for $790. I would VERY HIGHLY recommend them to any family, friends and even not so likable people.
GREAT WORK!!! I called 8 different transmission places and by far KAR KING AUTO gave me the best price. About $800-$1100 cheaper than everyone else. DID AN AMAZING JOB!! My car is running like a champ. I will definitely refer KAR KING to my family and friends for great auto repair. I dont usually write reviews but this was well deserved. George from Kar King was upfront and honest. That is hard to find now a days. THANK YOU!
All Im able to say if George wasnt as honest and love what he does, they couldve easily put me back over $500, but because George posted a pic of the part I thought I needed, I didnt have to purchase it. On the good side, he took the time to explain what the problem and cure were, enabling me to do it myself.Thank you George you are a honest businessman and right now money was very tight.Sorry I didnt by the turbo a d manifold. But thanks for saving me the money.
Well let me start by saying. These guys are respectable. Not sure how things are in house but.... we sent an engine out to these guys (ruined and hopeless). Mind you this engine is uncommon (3000gt vr4). Theze guys not only got it there fast they built and returned it lightning fast. We installed it and they answered all questions we had (stupid or not). George builds a good engine. Hw did what you would want/ expect from a long block provider or builder. This company did a great job. We will see how she hold up with the boost cranked up soon enough (not fully broke in yet). From there we will know just how reputable they are. I would send them another engine. VERY FAST, GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT, VERY AFFORDABLE.
Brought in my 86 samurai for a new transmission everyone I came in contact with was extremely helpful and kind Its my daily driver and needed it done right away and they got it in and got it done extremely grateful for their hard work
Ordered a rebuilt transmission from Kar King Auto on Ebay as the price was very good and it is a hard to find transmission (1984 nissan 4x4 5speed) and it arrived as described and as quick as one can expect from California to N.Carolina.The shop installing the transmission for me was having a few problems but after a couple calls to George here at Kar King, the problem was solved and the job finished, the transmission shifts smoothly with no noise or grinding.I would buy again from George and guys here at Kar King and have already recommended them to another Nissan owner in need of a transmission.
I took my smoking rattling 2010 Toyota Highlander with 69,000 miles to my local mechanic to see what the problem was. He diagnosed a complete engine rebuild ($7,000 total cost). It just didnt seem right.I did my research and found Kar King. I called George. We took the car in expecting to need a new engine, George did his tests and found that the car had several problems related to engine sludge) that all created the smoking. The total repair was $1,700. Obviously we are very happy.
After 306,000 miles my Toyota Tacoma 3RZ FE lost Compression. I searched around and nobody came close to the Kar King Price. I spoke with George and he had a Long Block in stock. Replace a few other Item while I had the engine out. The machine work was incredible engine fired right up. Hoping for another 300,000 Miles. Great People!TimLenexa, KS
Great company, fast shipping, even better products. Thanks again! -Brad
Excellent customer service and the most ethical shop Ive ever dealt with. Kar King has earned my trust and loyalty!!!
Purchased a rebuilt 2.4 liter for my old Nissan hardbody a year ago. I had the headgasket blow after a year, but that was my fault - I had a coolant leak that never got caught. When the head came off, it was 1/1000th of an inch and spec allows 3/1000th - they milled it to perfection! The headbolts were all tightened equally and perfectly to spec. Ive yet to adjust the valves after break-in, and am still getting 24 mpg. They do a good job! Beware though, they only offer a six month warranty, but for the price it was worth it. My opinion is they offer good quality for the price! Id buy again.
Couldnt be happier with Kar King, I hydro locked my engine due to a torrential downpour here in Tampa Florida, I searched engine rebuilders on the internet, and found Kar King. Called Jorge and he was straight forward to the point, and gave me a brand new rebuilt for my 08 Scion XB for $110.00 less than my insurance cut me a check for for a used LKQ motor. The price included shipping. They shipped it to Tampa Florida and provided tracking. The engine runs flawlessly. The only thing the shop did after they put it in was put Synthetic in it, instead of break-in oil. The mechanic insisted it would be fine, and this is no fault of Kar King - it was the shop here in Tampa. Awesome folks at Kar King - call Jorge if you need a new engine!
Just called George at kar kings to ask about parts used in there engines and he was vary rude. I asked if they use Japanese parts and he told me nothing is made in Japan anymore, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT he spoke down to me imedietly. i said wait a minute, nothing is made in Japan anymore? I just perchase Japanese made wheel bearing last month. George replied what I meant to say was that Chinese parts are good quality. Well George why didnt you say that then? Thanks for being rude and not knowing that Japan still makes engine parts ir trying to lie to me thinking I wouldnt know. I will not be buying from you. And the Chinese parts are why there engines are so cheap.
Do not ever give this company your business. I recently purchased a transmission that had an incorrect O-ring installed. The transmission fluid leaked out and destroyed my clutch. They would not admit they used the wrong part even though I provided photographic evidence. I would give zero stars if possible.
Best place to get your engine. They were quick and provide excellent products and service.
Almost 7 years ago, I had the misfortunate of blowing a piston in my engine of my Toyota Celica. Desperate to find the highest quality with the best price point, I surfed the web and found Kar King in California. Once I called and spoke to George, I realized that I was dealing with a reputable company that was willing to work with me on helping me out of a stressful situation and not breaking the bank. Living across the US in Wisconsin, Kar King sent me the rebuilt engine in only 2 days and then I received a call from George on the day of delivery, confirming the rebuilt engine was delivered as promised. Further, George followed up with me to ensure the engine was installed and my expectations were meant.A month ago, in the same car, the transmission went out. I remembered the great service I received previously and gave Kar King a call to see if they could indeed, provide the lowest price and highest quality of a rebuilt tranny. When I called Kar King, it was truly a pleasure to hear Georges voice when I called after 7 years and know that he would go the extra mile to ensure my satisfaction! I received the same outstanding service and lowest price as I did years previously. After installation, the car was running like a brand new car! Thank you again George!It was a impressive experience to work with a man of great integrity to assist me in getting my vehicle in tip top running shape again. I would highly recommend George and Kar King! Thank you George!
Very smooth transaction! This was a coast to coast deal and all was excellent! Thanks!
Super honest. I recommend this place wholeheartedly.
I purchased a Rebuilt 93-99 Mitsubishi 3000GT V6 3.0L DOHC6G72 Engine in April. I have been driving my 95 3000 GT with this motor for about three weeks and have put about 1000 miles on it already. It runs Great. Overall a great purchase. Motor has lots power and my recent 500 mile roundtrip from Tulsa to Dallas was 25.6 miles a gallon running 75-80 mph.Thanks
The engine was pretty awesome and all ready to put in, started right up and the car drives great now.Customer service was awesome too, George was always ready to answer the phone and emails:Thumbs up:
A little rude on phone when I suggested if they install motor that I supply... ( do you install motor that I supply? No we dont do that CLICK! ) Pretty rude dude.
I had an excellent business experience with Kar King. I had a very unfortunate situation involving an incompetent transmission shop in Prescott, AZ and my 01 Toyota Rav4. Kar King went absolutely above and beyond to rectify a very expensive problem. These guys are professional, proficient, knowledgeable, and honest.
Amazing service best is my truck run like new. drove all the way from vegas to have my motor replace here.
Great service the staff is top notch and helpful.
Really honest guy. Bought an engine from him about 2 mounths ago still running strong no issuse with it.I strongly recommened him for improted cars and all. In the furtrue i would go to him for more buissness.
I have 1991 Stealth R/T TT that came to me with blown engine....Just figuring out what all that got damaged internally would had ran me in the 500s. So after a year of pondering, I knocked on the door of Karking and they answered me with a 3.0 V6 rebuilt beast Im happily taming the street with right now...Thank you Karking and all the supports your put in helping me with my project...and best of wishes to anyone who chooses Karking for all their automotive need...Junior
Great company, good prices and quality work, and good customer service very satisfied. I have bought a remanufactured engine and transmission both perform exactly as they should.
Ordered a 4cyl Toyota long block from KK and it arrived undamaged despite some shipping problems. Did a swap, used all new maintenance parts, belts, thermostat, fuel filter, hoses, plugs, wires, gaskets from KK. Fired engine up after 3 revs of the starter motor and it runs like a dream. Runs smooth as can be even without the balancer assembly from Toyota in the oil pan. No leaks, no issues, very clean rebuild.Would not hesitate ordering future engines from Kar King. Great service, excellent quality and prompt delivery. Compared to the price of a pulled engine from a junk yard, its clearly worth the extra few $ for the warranty and a new engine with 0 miles.!!
Excellent price for rebuild, came quickly, clean rebuild excellent customer service
Great service and help over the phone, transmission was as explained and shipped promptly. I will be dealing with them again if I ever need another transmission.
Ordered Motor and Transmission, Excellent Customer Service and Shipping was Great!!
Bought a transmission for my sons 93 Ford Ranger and shipping was free. We live in Ohio and our local auto parts store wanted $1000 plus for a rebuilt tranny. $700 and 4 shipping days later it was here. The tranny had a bad 5th gear and Kar King replaced it with no hesitation. Very easy company to deal with and friendly staff with constant communication. I will definitely look to these guys again when a transmission is needed.Thanks Kar King,Thadd Holdren, Kingston, Ohio
After looking around at EBAY and CL engines I almost decided to try my hand at rebuilding my Toyota 5vz. Glad I didnt. Called George and discussed the job, price and down time. George didnt hesitate to give me a tour of the shop either. Top notch facility. Dropped the truck off and his driver took me back to my house and picked up a core engine.No charge. Picked up the truck 3 weeks later and it runs like a top. No leaks, no issues, price was right. They even were able to save my Air Conditioning charge. They made note of a couple of issues that needed my attention ie. new radiator and brakes.Thanks George. Good job!
Got a toyota 4wd trans works great
BEST Transmition Motor Shop in SoCal.!!!!!!!!Blew my engine & it was dead!!!! Shopped around to get it rebuilt or get another motor. Everyone quoted me such a high price I was just going to trade it in not running for a new car.But one of the owners George found a low mileage engine local. Great price for the low mileage engine & installation!!!They came to my home & picked it up with there own tow truck. (Didnt have to pay to get it to them) Very proffesional driver. I helped load it up & in a few DAYS later I get the call from George at Kar King Auto to come pick it up.If I could give them more than 5 Stars I would. I would DEFINATLY recommend them to all my friends and family.If you need a Transmition or Motor work besure to give these guys a call. Or you can call someone else and get screwed!!!!
I ordered a trans from here for my celica (im in fl there in cali) they shipped it to me no hassle i put it in and wow its perfect just like the car was new again. i priced used trans for my car and these guys sold me a reman for the same price as a used one, i cant say enough about them
Very knowledgeable staff and reasonable prices. A+ Thanks!
George was the best, he gave me the best customer service and prompt shipment. Will continue to do busines with them.
These guys always go above and beyond to get you back on the road with confidence, I would not only recommend them, I will continue to go back to them in the future!
Kar King is the King in my book. Always have what I need and they really stand behind all of there work.
Went in to have my transmission replace on my 99 Sienna. A week later I picked the van. The van still had issue. It only shifted gear at high rpm when the engine is cold. I called them up and they told me to drive awhile. A month later, the issued wasnt clear. They told me to drive vehicle to them for inspection a couple of days. I had to rent a car for several days. I picked up the car a couple of days later. The problem was fixed. But a couple months later, I found out that they fixed the problem by depleting the transmission fluid so it could run hot sooner. I refilled the transmission fluid to a proper level and now the problem reappear. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS. THEY ARE DISHONEST.
Happy with the work on my KIA 😁
They can be rude when asking questions, so make sure to think about it when bringing in any work. Make sure to look at the reviews of the engines they have build on Yelp.
Pic attached is what their engine will look like in 6 monthes who puts gasket maker on a rubber valve cover gasket kar king does
Had my engine rebuilt there and wouldnt recommend this place.
This place is a joke BEWARE might as well flush money down the toliet
