Unless you are buying tires, I would not go here for automotive work. I have gone here for years, but the latest time I took my car in for a major tuneup of ~$400, and when I picked it up, I could not believe how bad it sounded and idled roughly. I turned around, went back, and they said yeah, ""we think"" one of the pistons is stuck, but ""it should start working with more driving"". I took it to a muffler shop right after, and Kovac had managed to break my exhaust back by the catalytic converter, causing part of the noise, and also broke part of the side panel below the passenger door, probably both from putting it up and down on the hydraulic lift because they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Anyway, I asked a mechanic friend to take a look, and 2 wires were crossed which he fixed in 10 minutes, eliminating the remaining noise and shake. Anyway, this is the end of my $$$ going to Kovac.
