Kyle is the most honest mechanic I have ever gone to. He is an open and genuine guy. He clearly takes pride in his work, rightfully so. He always get me in quickly and charges a more than fair price. I have never done a review for a business once in my life, but I felt inclined to here because I am so impressed with the way Kar Auto Service operates. 10/10

Our dashboard kept showing low tire pressure, and Kyle checked everything, reset it, and didn’t even charge us. He’s honest, skilled, and has amazing customer service. I almost don’t want to tell everyone because he’s that good but he truly deserves the praise!

Kyle was able to help us after another mechanic tried to fix our A/C. We spent over $1000 with them and when it failed they wanted another $1700 to complete the job. Kyle was recommended and we got a second opinion. He pinpointed what the previous mechanic missed and was able to complete the job for much less. He is very trustworthy, honest and does a great job. I take comfort in knowing Kyle is trust worthy and transparent, and will be recommending and returning.

Excellent service - my car was completed quickly with clear communication throughout the process. Kyle did a great job explaining which repairs were urgent versus which could wait, giving me options to prioritize based on my budget. Fair pricing. This is now my go-to shop for my car and my parents’ cars too. Would definitely recommend.

Kyle was able to readily diagnose an ongoing problem that the sophisticated Chevrolet car dealer diagnostic couldn’t find. He is very resourceful and prompt. I am so pleased with his talent!

Needed front brakes for my F-150. After searching for a realible and trustworthy mechanic for the past few years I thought I would give Kar Auto a shot as it has so many great reviews. I wasnt disappointed as Kyle was very kind and informative on what needed to be done to get my truck stopping properly again! I highly recommend him and I will be going back in the near future to get my rear brakes done. Thanks again!

Absolutely fantastic service that Kyle offers. I was recommended to him by a friend, and I could not be more pleased. Worked with my wife and I to figure out what was causing intermittent electrical issues in our CR-V and helped us get a tow when we needed one. Takes his repair work very personal and puts in an insane amount of effort to ensure you are pleased! Would give him more than five stars if I could!

I finally found my mechanic I will always go to ! Kyle is a great guy and will not over charge you for stuff you do not need. If you have a Subaru or any other make and model, take it to Kar auto! My wrx now drives like it should thanks to Kyle !! He even made it a point to finish my car (full suspension replacement) in a day! Drop off in morning and pick up in the evening! Excellent service and I will now be spreading the word about Kyle and Kar auto. It's definitely worth the drive even if you are an hour away!! Take your scoobsters here or any other make , and he'll take care of it all! Thanks again Kyle ! It was great doing business with you!

My family has been using Kyle since before his shop opened. He is knowledgeable and incredibly generous. I make the trip from MA to go to him instead of just anyone!!!

Kyle is very helpful and super knowledgeble. I'm amazed at how quickly he was able to diagnose and correct problems. His prices are very fair and he has great availability. I have never had a long wait when I needed help with my car. Added bonus is he gets right back every time I text him. I have been very happy with his work.

If your looking for an up front and honest mechanic, Kyle is your guy. I recently brought my truck to the dealership for a basic oil change and tire rotation and they told me my brake pads were worn and needed replacement, even gave me measurements of the remaining pad thicknesses. I brought my truck to Kyle for a second opinion and he showed me the actual thickness of my brakes, they were like new. Needless to say the brake job can wait. While it was in the shop I had Kyle replace some wheel bearings and fix my exhaust. He had quoted me a reasonable price before he started the work which I was prepared to pay, but when I came to pick up my truck the total was LESS! Kyle is really a stand up guy that won't take advantage of you. He understands the value of taking care of his customers and being 100% honest. People like this are hard to find.

I have got say Kyle is one of the most straightforward, empathetic, honest, trustworthy, and people orientated business owners I have ever met. I started with one trip based on recommendations and now I bring all vehicles there. He has my business for many years to come. I highly recommend!

I brought my older plow truck(1997 Mountaineer) to Kyle to diagnose and repair a coolant leak. He took my car in the same day, diagnosed the leak (coolant crossover tube under the intake manifold) within an hour and had my car back to me by the end of day. It actually died down the street and Kyle offered to come to me to diagnose the no-start issue before calling a tow. Highly recommend KAR auto!

Kyle worked on my mini van and did a wonderful job! Good customer service and a fair price. Trustworthy mechanic

Kyle rules. Extremely generous and patient guy who’s willing to explain his thought process. He saved me quite a bit on a car I purchased by providing a thorough pre inspection. Great guy.

I appreciated the time Kyle took to check over everything and not only let me know what he noticed that could be fixed/updated, but that he didn’t try to push me into extra work. He told me what was needed and what could wait, was very honest and the price was definitely better than most places I’ve been in the past. I’ll definitely be going back to him and bringing my wife’s car in the future as well. A++

I’m so glad I was recommended to go to Kyle. Never once did he make me feel incompetent for not fully understanding something. I’ve been to two different mechanics in the past couple years and was scammed, but Kyle’s prices are fantastic and he’s so reasonable! Thanks Kyle!

Kyle went above and beyond with his service! I took my car in for new brakes, and he took the time to inspect my entire vehicle and let me know what maintenance will need to be taken care of in the future. He was extremely professional, thorough, and got the job done quickly. Very reliable. I will definitely be taking my car to him for maintenance and repairs in the future! Highly recommend this shop.

Most positive car service I’ve ever had. Called to inquire about a 100K tune up and we scheduled an appt for the following week. Not being a car person but knowing when noises aren’t right, I figured there would be some additional things wrong aside from a general tune up. We got a call by 9a and kyle fully explained what each part was that he was recommending and what was wrong with the existing. The price was extremely reasonable but I was so impressed that he had everything fixed by the end of the day as well. Super personable, took the time to explain the car parts and how they work. Overall and amazing experience and we will take all our vehicles there.

If you want to get a sense for this repair shop and what it's like to work with Kyle, the owner, then please take a few minutes to read this review. I own a 2009 BMW M5, manual transmission, with 99,000 miles on it. I only drive this vehicle a few thousand miles a year. After being serviced at another shop, considered by many to be highly reputable, in the summer of 2022, I started hearing a low knocking noise coming from the passenger front tire area. I brought the car back to the "other shop" and they said it could be a clutch situation, but they will need to pull the transmission to full diagnose the issue. The clutch and car drove perfectly well, so I decided to not pursue repair until I felt it was really needed, but the knocking noise never went away. A couple of months later, a check engine light came on that produce an “engine malfunction” error. I brought the car back to the shop and they quoted $12,000 worth of repairs to include replacement of a catalytic converter, new rear brakes, new battery, the replacement of a power steering line, and a new clutch. When I brought the car to them again after the check engine light came up, I also notified them that my wife complained the emergency break was loose. The shop explained that the engine light was caused by the catalytic converter in bank 1 and the noise was the clutch. The “e” brake issue is because the rear brakes need to get redone. If you are familiar with BMW M5 parts, than you know they are super expensive, which for the shop helped justified the $12,000 estimate. With the car roughly being worth $20,000, it was hard for me to justify this kind of repair, and especially with how little the car gets driven. I went to another shop and received a quote for the same work, (based on the inspection and estimate of my original shop) and they quoted $6,000. I was then referred to Kyle at Kar Auto and he also produced an estimated cost of repair at around $6,000. I really appreciated how accessible Kyle was and how easy it was to communicate with him, so when I was ready last month to proceed with the repairs, I reached out to Kyle and towed the car to his shop in Tolland. Kyle immediately started evaluating the car and reviewing the scope of work. He reached out to me several times to make sure it was ok with me for him to inspect the car as opposed to just repair what I requested for him to repair. It was clear from the beginning of the inspection process that I was given very bad information by the previous shop. Kyle found no issue with the breaks and that they still had 7k to 10k miles left on them, which for me is a couple of years’ worth of driving. He then explored the check engine issue and determined it was caused by a coil and that the catalytic converter was fine. In fact, the catalytic converter the other shop wanted to replace isn’t related to the cylinder that misfired. As for the noise, Kyle was able to troubleshoot it to the sunroof missing a gasket and the glass hitting the frame. My repair bill was $1500 with Kyle, and the car drives perfectly fine. I have limited experience with the mechanical side of cars and the relationship I have with my mechanic is a trust based relationship. I was ready to pay $6k for repairs, but Kyle is honest and has integrity and I will never bring my BMW anywhere else.

Very knowledgeable and straightforward, Kyle is the only person I'd trust to work on my car! Thank you very much for the oil change and the rear differential bushing replacement!

The most reliable and trustworthy mechanic you could ask for. Kyle always strives for perfection, and will always work with you to get things going. You won't regret working with him.

Kyle is professional and extremely thorough. His inspections & diagnostics are very transparent and he’s happy to explain things if you aren’t familiar with cars. He works quickly and efficiently. Ditching the dealer to bring all my cars to him. No job is too big or too small!

Kar Auto Services came highly recommended. At first I thought another mechanic to take my money and not fix the problem. I was impressed with the service and the presentation received from Kyle, the mechanic. Awesome demeanor, humble and honest. He explained the issue and what needed to be done. If you are looking for an honest knowledgeable mechanic Kyle is your man for the job. He is inexpensive, respectful and work within good timing. Kyle deserves an A++ all day. Thank you very much Kyle.

Kyle is an honest, respectful guy. He was able to work me in for an oil change and was flexible with appointments. Along with an oil change I had mentioned to him a few noises my SUV was making! He went through and did a safely check and made sure there wasn’t anything wrong with my vehicle! He also replaced my air filter for me while he was working on my vehicle! Great all around guy!
