Clean, professional and they wash your car. You can't beat that. 5/24/2011

The Karco Specialties facility is very clean, and the crew is very professional. They are also very thorough. I started using them maybe eight years ago. They wash your car, which is great! more

Karco Specialties is fast, professional and friendly. 5/13/2011

I trust Karco Specialties explicitly. They have always been fair and honest and their repairs are always with justification. I appreciate that they never talk down to me. I've been using them for about five years, and like to think of them as extended members of my family. This is a fair garage. They will work with you if you can't afford a particular repair. Plus, they make a prioritized list of what should be worked on first and most important to lest important and what can wait. I highly recommend their shop, it's a good one! more

I won't ever buy a car Karco Specialties won't work on! 3/24/2011

I've been a loyal customer of Karco Specialties for over twenty years. I believe they are competent and very honest. They're not the cheapest shop around, but they are so reliable I think it's always worth the money! I highly recommend their services. Cheryl Vincent more

Friendly, excellent service; reasonably priced; I can highly recommend them. 3/15/2011

Karco Specialties has taken good care of us service-wise. I have been using them for at least 15 years or more. I was a customer first for a few years, and then I became their insurance agent as well. They are very personal in the way they deal with their customers. They have a very clean operation at their location. If there are any kinds of problems after picking up the vehicle they ask that you bring it back in and then follow through with resolving it. They have good follow up and good follow through. They are nice people to deal with, and they are customer oriented. The quality at Karco is very good. Prior to going there I used a dealership for many years. You can't even compare the two. Karco is way above any dealership service center. I recommend them to people with Toyotas, Hondas, or other vehicle types they service. I have sent people to them, and they are still going there. I have purchased several new vehicles since starting at Karco, and I will only purchase Honda or Toyota so that I can take my vehicles there for servicing. I will never purchase another brand.

I wouldn't go anywhere else, and if I buy a new car it will be a Honda or Toyota so I can use them. 2/15/2011

We have been going to Karco Specialties for at least 30 years, and they have been wonderful all of that time. They are honest, reliable, and reasonable. The only time we had a bad experience was with a new hire, and that person was gone the next time we were there. I don't think they liked him either. The quality of their work is excellent. more

It doesn't get any better than Karco Specialties. 2/9/2011

I have been a loyal customer of Karco Specialties for almost thirty years. My entire family are loyal customers too, and we are always recommending their services to friends and strangers any chance we get. We only trust our vehicles maintenance to Karco Specialties. They are highly knowledgeable and provide quality service. They really strive to go the extra mile for their customers. They offer competitive and very fair prices. The workers are all just really nice people. It's a great environment to take your car into. They genuinely care about the safety of their customers. The services they provide there are priceless. I can't say enough good things about them. Nick Wohler more

Professional, dependable, and honest. 1/20/2011

I have been using Karco Specialties since 1985 or 1986, and they have always been professional. They look after my needs as the customer and the needs of my car when it is in for service. They have also been very good about telling me of any future needs I may have for my vehicle. The quality of work has always been excellent. They have always been accommodating to me when I ask any questions about my car or when I am looking to buy another car. They are professional, honest, and you can depend on them. more

Down-to-earth people who tell me what my car needs. 1/11/2011

I have been using Karco Specialties for over 10 years, and they have been great. They are friendly and tell me what is going on with my car. They are down-to-earth people who tell me what is needed. I have no complaints with their work. One time it did take quite a while to fix the car, but that was not their fault. Whoever they had shipped the car to for the fix took too long. more

We only buy cars that they can repair. 12/13/2010

We've been going to Karco Specialties for about 25 years now. I think initially someone referred us to them and we have been using them ever since. We only buy cars that they can repair. They service 4 cars for us and they are honest, reliable, and very nice people. They do a good, clean job. If there is ever an issue, we go back and they figure it out. They are so trustworthy. Denise Odom more

Professional and trustworthy. 12/10/2010

When I go looking to buy a new car for anyone in my family, I only buy Toyotas or Hondas so I can take them to Karco. I really think they are that good. There is not a thing they could do to improve their service beyond what they provide now. I have been using Karco for about 10 years. I find them to be trustworthy. I like the attention I get when I have a problem. I like that they have a nice, clean waiting room, and I like that they offer a shuttle service for local rides. Also, they stand behind their work. If I have a problem, they take care of it. Many times I have taken one of my three cars to Karco and told them that there was a problem, only to have them check it out and tell me there is no problem. They do not try to fix something every time I think there is a problem. So, when they do tell me something needs repaired, I know I can trust them. They will not work on my car just to make money, they are actually fixing something when they perform repairs. Finally, I really appreciate that the people I work with are professional. I never feel that I am being talked down to. This is not a slimy place with shady people, they are professionals, and I like that. more

Customer since 1985. Always totally satisfied. 11/17/2010

I have been using Karco Specialties since 1985. We are an all-Toyota family, and I have 3 sons who have Toyotas, so they work on all of our cars. They are tremendous in terms of service, friendliness, and efficiency. They do total maintenance on our vehicles, from oil changes to transmission repair. I have always been totally satisfied with Jay and Dick. They are completely honest in evaluating any problems and giving us options on what to fix and what can wait a little longer before we need to fix it. Barry Staymates more

I wish everybody I did business with were as good as Karco Specialties. 11/10/2010

I have been using Karco Specialties for probably ten years, and I have been very happy with them. They have been very honest and straight forward. They want to take care of me by taking care of my car and making sure it is operating as well as it possibly can. I feel like we are a team trying to get at least 200k miles out of my car. more

Good prices, excellent service. 10/15/2010

I have been going to Karco Specialties for years. I started going to them on the recommendation of a friend, and now my father goes there as well. Between the two of us, we have taken 3 cars to Karco, and I keep my cars a long time. They are reliable and their prices are much better than the dealer. I think I have gone to the dealer once since I've been with Karco, and that was for a warranty thing. I think the fact that they specialize in two brands makes them especially effective. They are very flexible on appointments, and their service is excellent. And, they are easy to deal with. They spend time educating you if you have any questions. But, the main thing is they are trustworthy. more

They exceed consumers' wildest expectations. 10/13/2010

I have been going to Karco Specialties since the late 80s. They are without a doubt the best auto mechanics, both in terms of proficiency as well as business professionalism. They are the best I have ever been to. I absolutely love these guys and I have come to rely on them completely for taking care of my cars. Karco also puts up with my preference for old cars. I do not swap cars often. I had my last car for about 13 years and I also have a 20-year-old short-bed pick up. You would think the technicians would be less courteous or somehow less professional with me for my insistence on hanging on to old cars, but these guys are completely on my side. They keep my cars running. I cannot speak highly enough about them. more

Positive, friendly, and knowledgeable staff makes for an excellent experience. 9/21/2010

Karco Specialties was recommended to me a couple of years ago and I have been using them ever since. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and conveniently located. They do all of my car maintenance, from oil changes and tire rotations to regular check-ups. My experience with Karco has been very positive. Laurie Dixon more

Our experiences have been great, and we will continue to use them. 9/10/2010

We have gone to Karco Specialties for about 15 to 20 years, and it has been good. Probably in the last 3 to 5 years Karco has expanded, and there has been a difference in the service. Some of the workers haven't been as clear in giving feedback on the status of the car. Also, in a number of cases I have had to bring the car back, which never happened before. However, they are very honest. Dick and Jay are very responsive, attentive, and ready to listen as well as correct things without any major headaches for the customer. We go there for all our maintenance and any major work that needs to be done. We will continue to go there, and will consider them when buying a new car. more

My experience has always been very positive; I'd go back. 8/19/2010

I have been with Karco Specialties for at least 15 years. We have had 5 cars serviced with them. They are always very good about being upfront. There are no surprises about what is fixed or the price. The work is done when they say it will be finished, and the work is done well. more

Professional, thorough, and always on the cutting edge. 8/13/2010

We started with Karco Specialties in the late 1980s, and they are awesome. They are really the most organized, and well-greased machine I have ever dealt with. Every time I go in there I tell them that they should give lessons on customer service. Karco is excellent on everything from making appointments to emailing reminders, to diagnosing and giving estimates. If you drive up not knowing what is wrong with your car, they will look it over and give you an idea of what it is and how much it will cost. I have had a Toyota Lexus since the 80s, and I would not even think of going anywhere else. When car technology started to shift towards electric, Karco investigated all of the technology necessary to work on that type of car. They are always on the cutting edge. Even as we are changing drastically in technology and on vehicles, they are always ready to help, serve, and accommodate you. Seriously, I have never seen a small, medium, or even large, company who is so thorough in everything they do. Like I said before, they need to give lessons on customer service. If I have to wait, they put a tag on my car to show I am waiting inside, so the mechanics know to treat it with priority. They are always ready to drive me home as well. The level of service outside the garage, with the desk and office, is just as great. I don't think I have ever worked with a company as professional as every single one of their employees are. They have always been helpful. more

Never had a problem. I completely trust them. 7/21/2010

I have recommended Karco Specialties several times. I have put a lot of miles on my car because of my commute. I had major repairs as well as minor repairs. They keep the car running well. It has never broken down except for a dead battery. I completely trust them when they tell me something needs replaced or when they tell me I have a certain amount of milers to go before maintenance is required. They also suggest other things that need done when the car is torn apart, so I get a better bang for my buck in terms of the things getting fixed before they become more expensive problems. I have been using them between 16 to 18 years. When it came time for me to buy a new car, part of reason I chose a Honda was so they could work on it. I put a lot of miles in my car commute-wise, so I need to have it running. Once it starts getting up in miles, you can get hit hard, and I trust where they are doing. Michael Wise more

I am happy with the service. They have good quality, and are friendly and professional from the front desk to the mechanics. 7/19/2010

Karco Specialties is the only place where I take my car; it is the only place I trust. They give me a fair price, and I know it is done right. I like Terry and the guys there. I have always been happy with their service, and I have been going there for about 10 years. They will give you a ride home if you need it. Karco's place is clean and neat. They keep your car and engine clean, and they wash your car before you leave with it. Karco gives good service and takes good care of my car. My car is 11 years old, and it is still like new. I have never trusted dealerships, but at Karco I know that they will do it right and that I will be treated fairly. I have always gone back to them, and have recommended many people to them as well. more
