Hello again Jim J!\r
\r
My family and I have taken my car to Karl for many years. I have always received quality service. I recommend Karl's Auto Repair to all my friends, and family and they have received nothing but competent and quality service.\r
Jim, I have a few issues with your review. First and foremost, unless you have X-Ray vision, how could you possibly know that your dipstick tube was not bolted. Here is a link to replacing a timing belt which clearly shows you that you have to tear into the engine to find the area where the dipstick tube is bolted. Check out hyundai-forums! Please give me the name and phone numbers of all mechanics who make house calls. I have never found a mechanic anywhere who offers this service. Since I have known Karl for years, I questioned him about this review. I found out from him what type of car it is and was informed that your alleged unbolted dipstick tube would not be visible with the naked eye. This is why I decided to check it out for myself and why I decided to post the link for those who would not know that your statement is incorrect. I am also very familiar with Karl's staff and with his staff's family. I think you know what I mean by this, Jim.\r
I have checked around and I have spoken with many people who are repeat customers at Karl's Auto Repair. They are extremely satisfied with his work. Karl does stand behind his work. He does warranty his work if it is due to his or his staff's negligence. However, Karl does not provide free services no matter who you are related to. Karl should not be held accountable for work that is NOT performed because the customer does not want it done. When you are told that there are other issues with your vehicle and you choose not to have it repaired, then shame on you not shame on him. \r
I do agree with you on one thing Jim, I invite everyone to ask around! Karl is one of the most honest upstanding business men I've ever know! Now that I think about it. Maybe I should ask around about you Jim. I wonder if you have the reputation of an upstanding ""honest"" person. Or maybe you are just out to get something for nothing?\r
Karl, if you are reading this. I hope I am not out of line but I just couldn't sit here and not say anything. Keep up the good work! And thank you for all the of years always going above and beyond for myself, my family and friends! \r
