CAR Auto Repair is a great team, friendly, and an ethical automotive shop. I've trusted their team before and with the new shop they're better than ever. They've steered me straight and laid out the reality of which services are really necessary vs. those others said we "must do." They use quality oil and parts to hold up. We're happy with their service, price, and customer interaction.

Fantastic customer service! Paul & Erik and their team operate with integrity and high attention to detail. Went in for a regular oil change and asked to get my headlights upgraded, and the turnaround time was quick! Efficient, affordable, and trustworthy. 10/10 I highly recommend!

I've taken my car along with the family's cars to these guys for years. I've always experienced complete integrity and good workmanship. Now that they have their own shop I look forward to taking my car there for many more years. I had a minor car repair done there just a few days ago and I experienced my usual satisfaction which is 5 out of 5. I have no hesitation in recommending them for good quality car work.

The shop in my town closed, so I found CAR Tire & Auto Center via recommendations from local friends. I was very impressed with their knowledge, customer service, and professionalism. They are half a block away from the Sakatah Trail, so in good weather the trail can be walked while waiting for the vehicle service to be completed.

Was having some issues with my Ford Pass working correctly and was told it was my Battery. Stopped by Carriage Auto Repair at the end of the day and asked if they could change my battery out not only did they have the battery I needed but installed it without delay. Matt and the tech’s at CAR are top notch and I will be back!

Carriage Auto Repair is my trusted partner in caring for all of the cars in our family. My adult children now come from crazy distances to have their maintenance done at C.A.R. because of our long-term trusted partnership! I don't know where else you could find a team of nicer, more-competent car service professionals. A+

Carriage Auto Repair always provides trustworthy, conscientious repairs at a fair price. My wife and I have had them work on several of our vehicles, and we always leave happy.
They’ll explain what needs to be done in plain terms, and give you options if you have a 25 year-old car (like me!) that you don’t want to sink a small fortune into.
They make sure that you leave with a safe, reliable vehicle. I tend to keep things until they’re “used up.” Carriage Auto Repair helps me do that!
If I DID buy a nice, new vehicle… I’d take it to Carriage Auto Repair, too. They’ve earned our trust, year after year! 👍

This place was recommended to me by a previous customer. I got great service got my car in right away for an oil change and even though they were super busy. They changed a bulb, and inspected the vehicle. I had the car back in about 2 hours! Super fast. Great prices too. I would highly recommend - if you like great service and good prices.

We had a leak in our tire that ended up being a large screw. The folks at CAR were able to get the tire taken care of without any issues. Very honest and great price.

Fast turn around time, great price, and rather than letting me walk home after I dropped it off like I planned, they gave me a lift.
Overall - super friendly and I’ll be back again

Fast friendly service! With the weather in the negative ‘teens ‘, the ride back and forth between shop and home , greatly helped me out! All service appointments find more problems than you think you need before hand, but I received quotes up front before any work was completed. I was/am completely satisfied with the work that was completed

We brought our vehicle to get general maintenance. Have not been here before but so glad we came. We were greeted at the door. They made us feel very comfortable there, Like we’ve been going there for years. Our mechanic was great. If you have not been there before this is a place. I can honestly tell you you need to take your vehicle there and try them. They were very efficient And very reasonably priced. Wanna personally say thank you Scott. We will be back.
