CarDoc

Really save money! Because it will be done right and will not break again. Very honest and professional.

Okay, so my review was removed. No foul language, nothing against guidelines. Just the truth. Enough said.

I brought my car in because I wanted a second opinion after the dealer quoted me a jaw dropping amount for head gasket replacement. After agreeing to the diagnostic fee they promptly worked their magic, showed me the test, explained it in terms I was able to understand, and quoted me just a little over half what the dealer wanted.
I’m still gonna have to budget the repairs but I feel very confident in letting Car Doc perform the repair. These guys are no Bull$.
Thanks

I recommend Car Doc to everyone. I have only had positive experiences there. When I first moved to CS I took my car to another mechanic who told me it only had a few months to live. I took it to Car Doc and my car’s been running like a champ for almost four years (an old champ, but a champ nonetheless). They’ve seen me through three 3000 mile trips, new headlights, brakes, hoses, belts, AC repair and four new tires. Again, my car is pretty old so these repairs make sense for its age/​mileage.
Their prices are incredibly reasonable, and I appreciate the AAA discount. Others have said their prices on the high side, I’m not sure where they’re used to getting repairs done, but these were the best I’ve ever paid, and even though I’m a grown-​up woman, I would call my parents after I got something done and penny-​pinching Dad always approved. A few weeks ago I called 90 minutes before closing and they were able to fit me in, order new tires, have them delivered, switch out my tires, and fix my AC. Everyone I’ve worked with there has been great. Even though I’ve moved away, I wouldn’t be surprised if I ended up at Car Doc again if I ran into a serious problem.

I’ve taken cars to Car Doc a few times with good success but a recent visit was not as good. My wife took her vehicle there saying she wanted it checked out before a 700 mile trip (each way). Hoses and belts were checked and changed, all was good. But they hadn’t checked the brakes so she went back, had it looked over, and was told she was good for a year. Well, you can guess the rest. We weren’t even out of the county before the brakes were emitting a horrific metal-​on-​metal snarl at every touch. Upon arriving I pulled the front brakes and found 1 pad of 4 completely worn and the rotor deeply gouged. The other 3 were OK and I was able to have the rotor turned, so no real harm was done. I guess I just expected a little more caring and attention to detail given that a lady was making a long trip and depending on the vehicle.

I’ve been to CarDoc a few of times in the past few years, fortunately for fairly minor problems. This morning it was to get my battery replaced. Staff has always been very nice and quick. Though the price seems to be a bit on the high side, it isn’t outside the range and they stand by their work. I like having that peace of mind!

I went to CarDoc a couple of years ago, on a friend’s recommendation, and the discovery of a coupon in the phone book. It was for a straightforward repair, but I didn’t have the tools or the space to do it myself. The repair was done quickly, but they didn’t call me when they finished. I came in the third morning to settle & pick up my car. The bill was a bit higher than I guessed, but not by much, and then I presented my 10% off coupon. They gave me a modest amount of resistance for not showing them the coupon before the job, but the relented when the fine print said nothing about that. They also tried the hard-​sell with a few minor issues I had planned to fix myself.
