CarX Tire & Auto

I went in to this place because because I had a power steering leak and my steering wheel would shake at 50 mph. I went in to see what was wrong and see if I could fix it myself. They gave me an estamate of 2700. That sounded wrong decided i was being scammed by car x that i took it to my local mechanic and showed him what was found at car x. He told me everything was fine but i needed to replace my hi presure hose on my power steering and ball joint… He did it for 350… Nice

Update: Car is still running fine and no issues have come up!!! (Happy)

MY brake lite was on. they quoted an outrageous price. when I picke up my car it was jumping and trying to cut off (didn’t have that problem when I dropped it off just my brake lite was on) I asked why is my «check engine lite on »? he sd «you need a tune up.» REALLY… THEY ALSO DEBITED MY ACCOUNT TWICE FOR THE BRAKE JOB! I WAS FURIOUS… STAY AWAY, BEWARE!!!

This location has «Deceptive Practices». Please get a second opinion and do not trust any recommendations offered at this location. Quotes for services are over estimates, substandard service. I went in to have a specific service completed and found out later that the service was half complete. This could have lead to a serious accident. MANAGEMENT!!! is either unaware or don’t care that this location is going to hell.

Please! Dont trust this place at ALL! I mean it. I went there to get my car checked bcuz it was failing the Emmision test, they told me i had to repair the the oil pressure switch. To wich was true, But they were charging me $ 600 to get the job done. I than called several other shops And they were charging only $ 40 to get the job done! Wth! I was soooo upset to find out that this ppl were trying to ripp me off!!! Finally i went and bought the switch myself and had my brother in law change it for me, it was that easy!

CROOKS… I brought my truck in «abs» light was on… he told me that my «brake hose had just broken. when his worker did a test drive»?? then he tried to sell me some tires total quote $ 1100…took it to my last mechanic quote $ 575, axle work, abs sensor, ball joints, and pads!!!

Snowy day with a flat tire, never a good situation. I came in to replace my tire and figured I might as well change one more (having the other two changed about 6 months ago). I showed up around 8 am and waited a little more than 4 hours just to replace the tires and align them; really pricey. If I had a choice I would’ve went to Firestone, but I had a flat. One star for the very friendly service, zero for the auto service.

I could go into detail but its not really worth it. They give me the run around, quote me for work that doesnt need to be done and tell me they can’t turn down a rotor because it would break their machine. I called them out about their bs diagnosis. I know whats up. Just be honest and i’d be willing to work with you.

After the blizzard my car was overheating and my heat was not working. However, I went to this Car-​x less than 6 months ago got a major tune-​up (I only had 50K miles). On Feb 4^th they told me they needed to flush out my fluids, antifreeze & radiator. FYI they flushed out my fluids when I got the tune-​up. They claimed they fixed my thermostat. I paid $ 230. Less than 2 weeks later my heat was not working at all again & my car was over heating. I took it back in and they say, «we have figured out the problem now.» «You need a new a coolant valve.» They told me they need to find the part. I feel I shouldn’t have to pay twice for the same service they never got right. It has been over a week and half and the manager claims he still hasn’t located the part. I’m very unhappy. All of the workers are very nice and greet you with a smile. However, none of that matters when you’re spending money and your car doesn’t get fixed!

I love this place. I came here for a groupon when it was first offered in early 2010 and have been coming back ever since. They have since done more major work on the car and everything has come in under the original quote. I’m not sure if this is their normal policy but they even drove me 15 min so I could wait at home! Very courteous, clean, quick, and everything you should expect from a professional mechanic. Really they aren’t doing anything exceptional, it’s just that the norm is so baaaaad that these folks seem like rock stars.

I bought a Groupon, a site which I am very addicted to these days. Included in the service was a tire rotation, oil change, AC check, wiper insert change, and a check of the car, $ 104 value bought for $ 30 on Groupon.
Anyway, they were very professional, quick, and even cleaned and adjusted my brake pads. I was in and out within an hour on a Saturday, that is good!
I didn’t give it more stars only because I usually take my car to the dealership and probably wouldn’t use anything else unless I see another great deal like that, but I was very happy with the service.

i took my car to this shop yesterday. they told me i needed to have 3 wheel bearings replaced and that my transmission was messed up.
quoted me $ 1,100 for just the bearings!
said i needed to go to aamco for the trans. i suffer a minor heart attack thinking that my car is done for.
BULLSHIT!
