Before buying a car, I opted for a pre-purchase inspection, and they provided me with a comprehensive and meticulous list of everything that was right and wrong with the vehicle. I ended up buying the car and since then, I have been relying on them for various services like brake pads and more. However, during my last visit to have the headlight replaced, they informed me that the previous owner had installed an irregular car socket, making it necessary for me to search for a specific light bulb. This news surprised me, and I was reluctant to go through the hassle of finding the exact bulb. They also offered an alternative, suggesting that they could convert the socket back to its original form, but it would cost $200-$300. I was quite upset and indecisive about what to do. Finally, after spending two weeks searching online, I managed to find the irregular light bulbs. When I attempted to change them myself, I made a discovery - the light sockets were still in their original state! There was no need for me to purchase expensive, unusual headlight bulbs. Now, I can't help but wonder if they provided me with false information or simply made a mistake. It's rather unexpected for professionals to make such an error during a routine headlight replacement. Again, they are professionals and I will probably take my car there again. However, this was my experience with them and I need a clear explanation for such a mistake.
This small garage simply looks old and shabby in the middle of diverse and revitalizing Main Steet. There is no modern computer booking for your appointment, nor is there a comfortable customer seating area. The wait sometimes is long, and the service isn't usually fast. But, once you get to talk to the owner, Stuward, your car issues will be quickly examined and identified. He is honest, sincere, patient, and experienced; it is so hard these days to find all these nice qualities from an auto repair/service shop. I have been going to Kartek for the repairs on all of my vehicles and Stuward always takes his time to explain the problems clearly and comprehensively. He also always provides a few different quotes for the parts that need to be replaced, which is very helpful for me to determine how much I want to spend. Honesty and transparency are the keys for me as I have been cheated by dealers with their outrageous prices. And did I mention Kartek offers perhaps the best price in town?My recent visit was to replace my Volvo XC90 front brake pads and discs, the Kartek used German OEM parts and charged me about $400 less than the dealer. Stuward somehow found a noisy issue and solved it at the same time, without any additional charge. People say 'Don't judge a book by it's cover.' This couldn't be more true to my great experience over the years with Kartek. Highly recommended!
Went in to get an intermittent stall at idle checked out. Stewart was really professional and code scanned for free, and was patient and methodical in explaining what everything meant. He also recommended some services to maintain my car health overall (based on my kms) but in a very no pressure way. I ended up making an appt for a transmission drain & fill and sparkplug change and it was all documented nicely. It didn't solve the intermittent stall, but I appreciated the help and information anyway. I would have preferred better communication during the process (eg he changed the engine air filter without asking me though it was cheap, and didnt mention that he cleared a few codes until after I picked up my car). They also are very hesitant to quote prices on work and didn't inspire a lot of confidence when it came to problem solving an intermittent issue. A lot of "if you want to" talk. I eventually went to another shop that found extensive rodent damage to the car's wiring that was leading to the codes that Kartek found. Not sure why Kartek didn't notice or even bother to look under the hood. Parking lot is a bit bonkers!
I went to Stuart at Kartek when the window on my Highlander wouldn’t go up (of course during a rainstorm). He was busy, but told me to come by so he could look. He couldn’t repair immediately (it was 5pm and he closes at 5:30 as well as needing to order a part), but he offered to let me park in his garage over night because I only have on-street parking (he was concerned about break-ins). I thought that was very considerate. He is honest and seemed well-priced (compared to the Toyota dealer prices). We had suggestions for how we could repair a broken light in the most cost effective way (even if he wasn’t going to make money on it). We ended up repairing the broken light with him too because we were very happy with the price and service on the window repair. He let us know the exact cost before starting any work, completed the work on time. I hope I never have car trouble again, but if I do, I will go back to Kartek. Stuart is very kind and highly recommended.
They’re the best mechanics. My problems were my flat tire but the 2 front tires need to be replaced. Steward tried to order the parts today and we have 3 minutes deadline but somehow Steward made it happened. They spotted small thing that wrong with my valve stem. It’s could cost me more problems later on. They changed my 2 front tires with professionalism. Steward is the best person to talk to about all my current and future concerns and he gave an honest suggestions. They’re suppose to close their shop around 4-5 pm but they didn’t . They help to finished fixing my tires until 7 pm. Thank you guys for your professionalism and hard work. Special thanks to Steward who give me so much answers and suggestions. My car need a break job. Absolutely, I’m going back to them. Thank you so much. You’re the best in town. Miracle on Main St at “Kattegat Automotive Services”.
I was having issues where my car wouldn’t start and got towed to Kartek. They managed to fit me in right away and tried to get it started despite the mystery issues. I was a bit concerned as I wasn’t sure what the issue was and hadn’t heard back from them for a couple days and was worried it would be expensive. When it was running and I went to pick it up I was shocked that it cost a fraction of what I expected. When breaking down the costs it was obvious there was no way they charged me for all the time they put into it. I asked if I could leave a tip and was told no so a good review is the best I can do. I would 100% return. And for anyone who is in the same boat I was, don’t worry if you don’t hear back for a couple days, they provide honest work.
Brought my toyota camry in because the engine was overheating. Kartek replaced my water pump and timing belt (which needed to be done, but was expensive). It took a month to get my car back which was too long for me, but they did fix the engine overheating issue. When I got my car back, I went for an oil change elsewhere and the staff there told me there was way too much coolant in my car - they had to remove some. They also found a coolant leak (they told me my radiator has a massive crack down the side) not sure if this was caused by too much coolant being put in and expanding and cracking the radiator, or if kartek just didn't notice the crack to begin with. Overall disappointed because I paid a lot and my car needs a new radiator.
I used to go this place for all my repairs and everything was good until today when I called Stuart and told him that my cousin will be coming around 4 to get nail removed from his tire. When we went there he checked the tire and was very rude in the way he communicated with us. The exchange was unpleasant and he showed a lot of attitude. If it cannot be done then just tell us in a friendly and professional manner and we will go somewhere else but this was no way to talk. I would have come here for any car related problems as I liked his work and trusted him but after this exchange its not gonna happen. Will find someplace new to take my business and I hope this does not happen with anyone else.
We'd made our trip from Edmonton to Vancouver with no problems with our beater 270k km Grand Caravan, but after parking at our final destination for an hour, the car wouldn't turn over. Luckily, my brother knew a good mechanic. Kartek solved the problem quickly and efficiently (bad fuel pump) for a good price, all based on the note I'd hastily written before the tow truck arrived. As an added wrinkle, we were going to be gone hiking for the week with no cell service, but the van was waiting when we returned, good as new. I would recommend Kartek to anyone needing good service at a great price. I wish all my breakdowns could be in Vancouver.
Best daily auto service in town. Provided detailed consultancy before services. Always trying to offer the most quality and affordable solutions with the most appropriate parts, in contrast of ridiculous quotes from those "brand" dealerships. Once the AC in my car was not working. The dealership inspected and quoted for more than $1000! Then I came here. Kartek mechanic checked my car in details and solved the problem for less than $100! And now after three years the AC is still working perfectly! That's the good service and fair cost you want to get for your car! The line is long though, so better call and make an appointment early!
I have been here a few times now and each time they had shown themselves to be very professional and honest. The owner is accurate with timelines and would lay everything down upfront on costs and of possibilities. He is not afraid to say he doesn't know, as it would require further checking in to determine true cost. He was kind enough to call me and remind me of something he forgot to mention in our conversation, even though I arrived late in picking up my car due to work calls. Throughout my experiences here he provided professional and genuine care for his customers.
Stewart and his mechanic team do excellent work. We have a 2005 Honda Accord and 2012 Chevy Equinox and he has addressed all maintenance needs within a week or scheduled us in when they are busy - no longer than 2 weeks. Very personable, fairly priced and informative. Very helpful to repeatedly diagnose a check engine light with no charge, and have done repairs to keep our vehicles running smoothely. When our battery died we were able to have our car towed to his shop in the evening and have the battery replaced within 2 days. We fully trust Kartek's workmanship.
I really appreciated that Stewart took the time to discuss every possible option with due consideration for longevity of the vehicle, safety, and expense. He patiently answered all my questions and updated me as the work progressed. The long series of repairs I needed added up to an expensive bill, but everything was fairly priced and transparently explained. Most importantly, they did a fantastic job; my 20-year-old vehicle feels 10 years younger! I would definitely return to Kartek for any future repairs or maintenance.
A tire needed repair due to a nail. I called a few places to quote for a patch. Price is reasonable in comparison. In the end, I decided to support local small business and give them a try (positive reviews online helps too). They explained that if the tire was damaged due to driving on a flat then they cannot patch and will charge me less. I got my tire fixed in an hour which is pretty good considered I did not make an appointment. I feel that they are fair and honest and will recommend their services.
It used to be a good shop but since the business got busier, it has changed all. Bad service and attitude. I felt like they didn’t welcome small jobs like changing oil and tires. They topped up the p steering fluid in my car so I asked if there’s something wrong with it. He said ‘I’m not gonna tell you’. ? Hey Stuart. Tell me what annoyed you yesterday. Was it because I said No to your quote for the spark plug replace that was $530+tax? Or that I said that job could be done in 2hours not 3+hours?
I couldn't find a reason to miss a star. Stuart fitted in my truck the same day and I told him what I thought I knew I needed done but he said he'd like to take a look before agreeing to my diagnosis. He ultimately found a less expensive fix for the rubbing noise behind my back wheels. Fixed in 2 hours, road tested and presented me with a bill for 30 mins labour. His mechanic was polite, friendly and gave me a chance to view the process first hand and explained what was being done. I would go back.
Stewart and his team are really awesome. He is an honest man and that is all too rare in his business. His rates are fair and with many experiences with his shop I give Kartek my highest recommendation. The only thing that I would say is that because they are fair and do good work you need to expect to wait a little longer at times for your vehicle to be ready but that is more about managing your own expectations, which in my view is a small price to pay for knowing that your car is in good hands.
Even though I had quite a few repairs that were needed at my first visit to this shop, Stewart the owner acknowledged that and walked me through everything that needed to be done, explained why, and showed me on the car what the part was, how it worked and why it needed to be fixed. As a women who sometimes feels like I get the runaround at a mechanic shop, the time Stewart took to explain everything was so appreciated. His estimate and the time it took to do the work was accurate.
Excellent thorough job from Stewart. Originally looked this place up on the google reviews. Totally lived up to the reviews. Everyone was giving positive feedback, so I tried it out. Did a full assessment and Replaced power steering pump & belts on my Honda Odyssey van. Great price and best service I’ve had at any Mechanic shop. Super honest and van was done right away even though they were very busy shop. I’ve already recommended this place to my family & friends.
First time getting my car serviced at Kartek and I'll definitely be coming back. I was dealing with Stewart and he kept me informed the whole time. Before doing the work he would inform me of the costs involved for labour and parts. After, he even showed me the parts that had to be replaced. Stewart and his crew are very transparent! Which is something I value when it comes to getting my car fix. Not to mention labour costs are very reasonable at Kartek.
I can’t say enough good things about Kartek and Stuart. Really phenomenal customer service, he really cared about finding the route cause Of why our truck was stalling. He also took the time to explain to someone like me who knows little about cars exactly what was going on. His pricing was also very fair and so honest. For anyone looking for a mechanic and an honest opinion I would look no further. Definitely felt like discovering a real gem.
I was in Vancouver for a short visit and to give my car to my son and his partner. I knew there was a crack in the boot of the right passenger side axle and that it needed to be fixed. This garage was across the street from where my son works. I walked in there, asked the owner if he could give me a quote to fix it. Within a few hours I had a quote and a couple of days later my car was fixed! Very good work and very professional!!
Kartek is my preferred mechanic in Vancouver. They are always very reliable, honest and thorough. My car had an electrical issue and they took the time needed to diagnose and fix the problem. When I showed up to pick up the car they explained the issue in detail and did further testing to make sure everything was resolved. At the end of it all, they charged a very reasonable rate despite the challenges in diagnosing the problem.
I live in the neighborhood for years and my mechanic shop OK Tire has just moved to surrey, a pain! Recently my car got problem dying out at idle intermittently, I tried call some shops including Kartek. Several friends recommended me this one, I know I need to move on and give it a try. Finally I am happy with my car now and satisfied with their repair work! Great experience, good price, friendly service, highly recommended!
Honest, fast, and top quality. Before charging anything, Stewart gathered enough information for a quick diagnosis, then he clearly explained the likely cause of my car's issues, and the trade-offs of each option for for fixing it. There was never any pressure to spend more. In fact he recommended the lowest price option, after listening to what I was using the car for and how long I planned to keep it. Solid mechanic.
Stewart is a true expert. Always kind, patient and explains procedures in detail, so you know exactly what is being done. He has also pointed out that certain problems that did not require immediate attention, so I feel confident he is an honest mechanic that thinks of the customer first rather than his bank account. He has also been flexible in taking me in on short notice. Thanks, Stewart!
We had a fairly good size bolt lodged in one of our tires and fairly new to Vancouver. I went to Kartek as they were the closest repair shop to us and we received excellent customer service. Stewart was up front about the timeline to fix the tire and how much it would be. The repair wss done quickly and Karteck will be our auto service provider for future work. Thank you Stewart and crew!
Good service and awesome pricing. Half of what it would cost to repair a puncture in my tires. Sixty somewhere else and it was half. I believe the fella who owns the shop [Srewart] has a mechanical engineering background from U of T. Will come back very soon for things I can't do on my yaris. June 16 2021. Was there yesterday. Still honest and fair. F150 truck for my landscaping business
I got a flat tire on my way to an appointment and was lucky enough to be near enough to these guys. it turns out my car does not have a spare tire so I was unable to change it myself. they were super friendly and fixed my tire in the time that I went to and returned from my appointment. the cost of the replacement was also really reasonable. I would highly recommend their service.
Kartek Automotive have been looking after my car for years. They have always been very reliable and I’ve never been dissatisfied with any work they have done for me. Stewart always explains clearly what the cause of the problem is and gives me an good idea of what the cost of repairs will be. I would have no problem recommending Kartek to friends, and often do.

My F150 coolant hose is broke in the mid section. I call Kartek Auto because they’re the closes when is happen. Luckily Stewart is available to look into it and after getting the vin number he give me the approximate cost and time to fix the problem. The result is good and my truck back to me earlier than the estimate he gave me. Thank you so much to you and your crew.
They are very busy here and clearly get good reviews. However, their approach to diagnosing the vehicle faults was guess work and not methodical resulting in wasted time for both them and myself. Their communication around this was also poor so lacking that professional approach I was expecting based off of the reviews. The owner was apologetic and a pleasant human.
Car broke down and needed to get it towed to a mechanic shop to get it diagnosed and fixed. Found Kartek online. Spoke to Stewart on the phone and was told that they were able to accommodate. Was expecting to be without a car for days but Stewart and the team managed to diagnose, order the parts and fix the issue all in 1 day! Very impressed on their service!
Stewart and his team are excellent. Not only did he provide excellent service, he explained everything to me step by step and made sure his team was thorough when inspecting my car. I appreciate Kartek’s kindness and professionalism towards me as I am a young woman who has not a clue about cars! I will bring my car there again without a doubt.
We’ve got an ‘89 Honda that’s been sitting a while and she’s part of the family. Most garages were insulting towards an inspection of her, “she’s got no value” “there’s no point.” Stewart understood our mission and our need, went above and beyond for us and our car, Stella-Jean. Would 100% recommend and will certainly use in the future.
The owner, Stewart is a straight shooter and that's what you want in an auto repair shop owner. It's a bit cramped with cars lined up in the front of the shop but its the old building in a fast changing expensive area now and probably won't be there long if the owner (not Stewart) of the land is offered a deal he can't refuse. JS
I learned about Kartek through a suggestion from a stranger and I’m happy I listened. To say Stuart is the most honest, hard-working and caring mechanic I’ve ever met is an understatement. He and his team have always taken good care of me. As long as I live in Vancouver, I will never take my vehicle anywhere else for work.
Stuart is the best! (And his wonderful team). Every time I bring my car in I know it's in good hands and that he will look at it as soon as he can, outline the issues and my options, and then give me a fair price. Only feedback is that I think they probably work too hard (sometimes there late). Thanks Kartek!
I always go by this place and just recently, today, I went in to get my tires swapped from winter to summer. After booking an appointment beforehand tbf. Solid service, valet my car and even individually wrapped my winter tires after. Definitely would come back for another time if the opportunity arises.
He didn't fix the rattling bushing in the rear of my Mazda 5 - instead he decided to fix something in the front (without consulting me first) and bill me. I went home with same rattle in the back that i came in with. He was rude and passive aggressive about the whole thing. Super lame experience.
Absolute life savers. Called the shop on a Thursday with a seized alternator. After expressing I need my car for work, I was able to get the car to them on Thursday night and they finished it Friday night. Price was as quoted and fair. Will be going back for regular maintenance and repairs.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Kartek Automotive Svs. I had an emergency tire situation and in spite of being very busy at the time, they dealt with my problem very professionally. They were very friendly, very helpful, and did a great job. Thank you Kartek. Five stars.
I just moved to this neighborhood and got a flat tire by chance. This is the first time i have been here for my car. They are friendly, honest and professional during checking my car's problem, suggesting solutions and finishing the job. Quick job with reasonable price. Recommended!
My family has been coming to this repair shop for years now. They are very reliable, honest, and good at what they do. Although they are busy at times they manage to always find time to help us. Stewart and his team are great at what they do and they care about the work they do.
Stewart was a pleasure to deal with and kept me informed through a number of repairs that were required on my car. We were able to prioritize what work needed attention now and what could wait till a later date. I was pleased with the price and value for the work completed.
I am very happy to find a mechanic shop as he is very nice and very honest man he fixed my jaguar for very reasonable price. He is the best # 1 in Vancouver Canada. I am not never go anywhere else. You can't find better than this Auto mechanic shop.. thanks for your service
Great experience and was able to perform a car service the next day. Very clear about everything he checked and made me aware of things that may need to be done in the future. Honest and transparent. I will definitely come back again and recommend their services to others!
Stuart was very honest about the work he did and did a great job as well. We saved a lot of money doing everything we needed to check and get done through Kartek for nearly the same price a dealership charged to just LOOK at the problem. 100% would recommend to anybody.
Stewart is honest, friendly, accommodating and really knows cars! My car has needed a lot of things fixed over the past years and he consistently provides the most excellent, transparent and economical service. I recommend him to anyone looking for a car mechanic!
I could not be more pleased with the service I received from kartek. Prompt, detailed, estimate, same day repair! Explained in great detail my options. I would defiantly recomend Dr Chen and his team. Thanks for the peace of mind! I will travel home in a safe car!
Stewart is amazing. He has helped me so much with a 3rd gen Toyota 4Runner that holds significant sentimental value. He always takes the time to explain everything and make sure I understand. It’s easy to see why his shop is busy. Deep appreciation for you guys!
Stewart is a certified genius, ethical and thorough. I would drive over two bridges to get my car serviced here if possible. He did any amazing job in checking out my car before I purchased it. The place is buzzing busy because of their great prices and service.
Brought our rencently purchased old Honda Civic here to troubleshoot and repair a few things. Stewart explained the situations very well and gave estimated cost at reasonable prices. Just had the rear brakes replaced today. Now feeling much better with the car.
Always great service at a reasonable price. The owner is very friendly and takes the time to review the work they did and make recommendations of work that maybe upcoming. He and the staff are very thorough, yet pressure free. I would highly recommend Kartek.
Great place to have your car repaired. This was my first visit to Kartek. Stewart took the time to explain the issues I was having with my car. He was able to perform the necessary repairs in a timely manner. I thought his fees were very reasonable as well.
Reliable auto shop they are always extending extra miles for thier good services.Stewart always explains everything regarding your cars trouble and he always gives advise for practical choices for you to save money. Thanks Stewart and the rest of the Team!
Very pleasant to work with. Stewart explained everything in detail, showed excellent understanding/diagnostic skills, and provided excellent service (stayed well past closing on a Friday!). I will be coming back when I am in need of additional service.
Great experience! Stewart explained really well what the issue was and how/why it needed fixing. He worked quickly to insure we had our vehicle back as soon as possible. Great communication. Definitely recommend. Great to have a trustworthy mechanic!
Stewart and his crew saved my day! After I broke down right in front of his shop, they came out and diagnosed my broken alternator quickly and got me in to the shop for repairs. 4 hours later I was on my way! Amazing, I'm definitely going back again!
Stewart was beyond fabulous in fitting me in at the end of a cold and busy day to fix a flat tire. He was very knowledgeable, polite, helpful and accommodating. His team were amazing. I will definitely be back!!! Don't hesitate to use this business.
Stuart and his staff are reliable and trustworthy. I have brought my vehicle in multiple times for various issues and I’m always beyond satisfied with the results. I feel lucky to have found an honest and affordable mechanic in the neighborhood.
After experiencing a complete failure of my clutch, I had my car towed here for repairs at the recommendation of a friend. I have an older car that is no longer mass produced and they were able to replace the clutch at a very reasonable
I’m going to try to be very honest and brief on my review, but above all, FAIR. I’ve been a customer there for over two years, mostly doing season tires changes, but also some other services such as breaks and related issues. I’ve also
I have taken my 2009 Subaru Forrester to Stewart several times, reliable work and honest mechanic. Fair prices and never felt pressure to do anything unnecessary to the car but was always informed of what might happen. Highly recommend
Friendly and prompt service, very honest. Since I was not on site, I was shown a video of the problem with my car. They were not at all pushy about getting repairs done and left it all up to me. I would definitely recommend this shop.
Stuart is very friendly, and I know I can always count on him to give an honest appraisal of what my car really needs. He takes the time to patiently explain what is happening with my car, and what my options are for addressing it.
I've been going to these guys for years and referring my friends because they're always very honest and fair and I'm always very happy with their service. Stuart the manager is a great guy and a pleasure to deal with every time.
I don't usually review things, but service here is so good that I'm compelled to! Have been a Kartek customer for the past 2 years. Find this shop to be trustworthy, skilled, and affordable. Feel grateful to have this mechanic.
Every time I take my car in for maintenance or repair, Stuart explains what the repair is and breaks down the costs. He’s always offering different options to try and save me some money too. Fully trust these guys with my car.
Stewart was very patient and knowledgeable. He fixed our car in an emergency in very little time and explained everything very carefully to us before he proceeded, to make we understood what he was about to do. Thank you.
My car stalled right next to the shop and they helped me right away. I was in and out within the hour and they had so many other cars they were working on. The owner Stewart was kind, helpful and timely. Thank you again!
As always, reliable, efficient, and honest. I trust Stewart's advice, based on years of customer-focused work, rather than just what will allow him to invoice more hours. A mechanic worth his weight in gold …
Stewart is a great dude. Fair and very thorough. He also explains his work very well, which is helpful for a layperson such as myself. His transparency establishes a sense of trust, which is very important to me.
Stewart is absolutely the best!! He cares about his customers like family. In a time where businesses like his are being pushed out of our neighbourhoods I'm glad to see he is still here helping so many people.
I’ve used Kartek’s services a few times and I’ve been very happy with them. This time the job took more time than estimated because of unexpected problems but they charged me only what was estimated
Got a pre-purchase inspection and Stewart was amazing. He showed me everything that was wrong and was super honest about repairs and costs. So glad I took my car here! Highly recommend to everyone.
The owner gave me a lot of attention and wonderful advice although I was passing by. Didn't charge for his time and knowledge. Very pleasant attitude. Will definitely go to him next time.
I dropped in without notice with a brake issue on my imported Pajero. The guys took care of it even though they had a lot of other jobs on the go. Very trustworthy and easy to deal with!
Great service. Walked me through every detail of the issue. Was slightly lower pricing than the other quotes I received. A trusted mechanic. Will be using again if anything comes up.
Stewart acted like I would be taken care of and to not worry. Well it's obvious they are best at brake jobs and oil changes. Anything too extensive and they will guess what's wrong
Stuart is a fantastic mechanic and was extremely helpful, fair, humble and genuine. He truly cares about his customers and provides impeccable customer service. 5/5 I recommend.
Stewart is great and very busy. Always works to accommodate though, and has done excellent and honest work on my beamer many times. Rare. Highly recommend.
Had an awesome experience here. Very fast service with skilled employees and Stuart (owner) was great to deal with. I knew I was in good hands right away.
Honest, timely, and affordable service. They helped me prioritize what repairs were essential versus preventative so I could decide how best to proceed.
Stuart and his crew are so reliable and affordable. They always explain everything to me in detail before servicing the car! I appreciate you guys!
Absolutely outstanding work done by Stuart and his team at Kartek. I brought my own suspension parts and they were installed within a day. 11/10!
Great place for vehicle repairs and maintenance. The owner-operator, Stewart, is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and reliable. Highly recommended!
We had a pierced tire. Stewart were very helpful. Busy business but we were quickly served. We will come back again if we need other services.
What a great and plesant experience I had in this shop ! Checked my car, gave clear diagnosis and advice. Repair was quick and clean.
Busy little garage in the middle of Mount Pleasant. Distinctive light blue building connected to a body and auto glass shop.
Kartek is an awesome shop. They fix things quick, well, and reasonably priced. Ive had a number of good experiences here!
Stewart is friendly, honest, careful, reliable and all around wonderful to take my car to for service. Thank you Stewart!
Very accommodating and friendly - got my turn signals fixed within the hour upon just pulling in without an appointment.
Stewart is amazing to work with as always, He's honest mechanic and cares about his customers. The price is super fair!
Very helpful and honest! Will only be going here from now on if I have any issues with my vehicle in the future!
Good, quick service. No beating around the bush. Parking a bit tight. All in all a great experience.
always really happy with the service - you will never have to worry about getting ripped off
Great customer service! Diagnosed, quoted, and fixed our car quickly.
Reasonably priced tire repair. Even recorded the damage spots.
