Now, I understand that my car is crappy and old (92 Civic LX), but Car Care Service was unable to align my car ($80) and charged me ($50) anyway. They didn't even get it "partially" or "as good as possible" aligned. Nothing. No alignment. Just a bill and a quote for more. They explained that they would need to fix the ball joints and bushings at a cost of at least $400-500 before they would be able to align my car. OH yeah, and it took them all day to tell me this (after they said it would take 1-2 hours to align). No one told me beforehand that I would be charged regardless of whether or not they would align my car. It seems to me that they gave me a quote for $50. Now, maybe others have had a great experience with this place, and maybe you will too, but they are not "the best auto repair shop ever". When I went to school at HSU, the local tire shop (TP Tires!!) aligned my car "as best they could", but because they couldn't "get it perfectly aligned" (due to a problem with the car frame which I did not know about at the time), they WAIVED the $40 fee. Free alignment. Now THAT is someplace I could recommend with 5 stars. Car Care Service on the other hand gets 2 stars, and only gets that because the (recently hired) lady at the front was very nice, and the manager (owner?) of the shop gave me and my fiance a ride home where we waited for them to complete the work on my car. Which was never done. Thanks for nothing.
Pros: They sell cheap scooters...
Cons: Charged me after doing strictly evaluative work (which was supposed to be free)

I took my car there today and was helped by Wayne. He was honest and let me know that they couldn't help me but he went out of his way to be sure that I was taken care of. He referred me to a specialist and he even helped me get my car there. Even though Car Care Specialist didn't work on my car this time, I fully trust them and I will be back because of how great my experience was. I highly recommend this place to anyone needing auto repairs.
Pros: Service, Honesty, Experience
