Testimonials

“Care Automotive Is Carrying On The Tradition”

I found Lonnie at Care Automotive on a referral because I was having trouble with my MSD Atomic fuel injection system on my ’68 Ford. In just speaking to Lonnie on the phone for 20 minutes, he cured all the issues I was experiencing with my system. I never even brought the car in. That is pure professionalism and doing the right thing for his customers because he’s passionate about his profession and it shows. It’s getting harder and harder to find mechanics that know how to work on old cars, it’s great to see Care Automotive is carrying on the tradition.

“This Is The Best Shop Around”

This is the best shop around. The knowledge of all cars and the quality of workmanship from the Owner Lonnie to all the staff give a calming to the customer that you are at the right place it will be fixed and fixed correctly. When I have car problems I tow it push it to pull it or drive it to Care Automotive

“I Highly Recommend Care Automotive”

First off I never spend the time to post reviews but I am so happy with the service I received from Eugene and Care Automotive they deserve to be recognized. I’ve been battling with a check engine light on my 2004 Yukon for close to a year. The indication was that the engine was missing and it turned out to be low compression in two of the cylinders. Nobody I went could or would attempt to repair and the dealer tried to sell me a new engine. When I finally took it to Care Automotive they resolved the problem. The shop is very clean and the crew very professional. I highly recommend Care Automotive.

“The Only Repair Shop That I Go To”

The only repair shop that I go to. My car is always repaired in a good amount of time. Most of the time it’s the same day within a few hours or maybe the next. The repair cost are very reasonable and they will not rip you off. Your best alternative to going to the dealer; which we all know will cost u an arm and a leg. I’ve been coming here for over a year and every time I come (for my old car) they have took care of the problem. Rather it be big or small. They are honest with the repair needs if you need them or not.

“These Guys Know Their Stuff & Are Reasonably Priced”

These guys know their stuff and are reasonably priced. I had an engine replaced and transmission rebuilt in my 1980 trans am. It now runs like a dream and as little things come up they fix it no questions asked. They love what they do and it shows.

On Memorial Day 2018 the ignition module went out and I was stranded. I had it towed to the shop. The guys were there doing some overtime and fixed on the spot. No-fuss. If I could do a new review and give 5 stars I would…

Their Prices Are Extremely Reasonable

This is my second time coming to the shop & they are extremely hands on. Very timely about their service & their prices are extremely reasonable. Clean waiting room & good customer service. They keep me updated on the status of my car & therefore I would, without a doubt recommend their services to family & friends.
