What clients say about Car-X Tire & Auto in Davenport (IA)
Had my car in for an oil leak...was told I needed a new oil pan because the drain plug was cross threaded....when informed that they in fact touched the plug last, I didn't need a new oil pan, just a new gasket.... a week later I have a more oil on my driveway and garage floor than the initial leak and nobody can answer a phone call...I'm getting ahold of the BBB tomorrow morning and hope someone gets ahold of me from the company....not impressed at all....called the 1-800 number....the ext # just leads to more prompts for a name....BBB it is
Had low tire pressure on a cross state trip, so we brought our car into CarX to be looked at. Not only did Mike put our car up on the lift and diagnose the problem free of charge, but after seeing he didn't have the tire we needed in stock, he went out of his way to call businesses across the Quad Cities until he found us what we needed. Thanks Mike and CarX for getting us back on the road!
Honestly amazing. Not even joking when I say they SAVED ME. Was on a road trip from Michigan to the grand canyon. Got a flat tire. Showed up here as quick as I could at 6:52pm when they close at 7. They patched it for me. Who ever was working at 7pm on 4/14/25 deserves a raise
Very fair and good price and fantastic communication. I scheduled the day before and they got it all done the next day. I asked a lot of questions and asked about different options and Sherif dealt with me very patiently. Treat them with respect and they’ll treat you with respect. My van drives so much better. The quality of their work and the whole experience from beginning to end has made me a committed regular!
They have had our car for FIVE days and now the manager is on vacation and no one else can access the system to tell us if a hose… yes just a hose has been ordered! Everyone deserves vacations but seriously!! Delegate your responsibilities!
Came in to get my tire patched. Left with a huge scratch that wasn't there before. stopped back in when I noticed it a couple days later as I had not drove this car. And the employee just refused he did it
I brought my Nissan Frontier in because it was overheating and Madonna and Eric were the best in helping me take care of my truck! They didn’t try to sell me stuff I didn’t need, and they did a multi point inspection of my truck for free! I also had to be in a video chat for my job and Madonna graciously let me do this in their customer lobby. Awesome customer service and I will definitely be back!
This used to be a great place to take my car. On 8/9/24 I showed up at their posted opening time of 0730. Doors were locked tight nobody around. I stood outside the front door for 30 minutes and no one showed. I left and came back less than 15 minutes later and they were open. Despite being unhappy I left my car there for service. At 530 pm they still had my car. I stopped in at 556 pm to see how my car was doing and they were closed…locked up tight despite the fact that their posted business hours are 730am to 7pm. Car X is clearly no longer serious about their business. This will be my last visit, I’m done.
Would’ve loved to give them 5 stars, but didn’t have a good communication from management at all. My car was there was 4 days with no fix, which I don’t think is a fault of theirs, but there was a huge lack of communication as to why. I asked to speak with a manager several times, and each time got the run around that a message was left for him. Manager in the store couldn’t give us an exact price on what the anticipated repair would cost, started avoiding our calls, and just had a lack of overall communication. Really disappointing because we had our vehicles there in the past, and the former manager went above and beyond to answer questions and make sure we understood everything all the way through.
Just had a very good experience here with Brett. Scheduled, on time, prompt quality work....
Thank you for the tire rotation and courtesy alignment check as well as pictures of my read out.
Your corporation should be proud of a great store Manager....
Thanks again....
Made an appointment at 1:00 however I wanted to change it and ask if they could do the work sooner and so I got it at 11:00 a.m. so I got in early I needed front brake work done and rear brake work they did an excellent job on my brake system I got new calibers new rotors new pads for the front and didn't need brake shoes or drums in the back so they clean those up for me I got estimate for tire replacement and I'm working on that now and I recommend a Car-X to anyone that would like to get their car repaired.
This place is not about the customer. They treated me like a dollar sign. Wanted to charge me $500 to fix my ABS sensor. I was told I needed the whole hub to “make sure it was fixed correctly”.This is after I just spent $2600 there less than 6 months ago for new brakes, tires and rotors in my 2019 with 40,000 miles on it. Decided to get a second opinion. Turns out it was just the wiring harness. $200 later I got my car fixed somewhere else. Will not be returning.
Scheduling the appointment was super easy, I called and they were able to get me in at the exact time and day I requested (in the same week). Appointment was super smooth. Great customer service and trustworthy workers here.
I can’t put a star down yet. Spoke to Brett Friday night told me nothing was scheduled till 10 o’clock in the morning Saturday the young lady seemed like she could care less when I talked to her this morning and basically told me to wait so I’m waiting to find out if my alternator is bad which is what the mechanic said at the gas station where it was towed from, and I’m waiting they opened at 7:30. It’s now almost 9 o’clock no answer yet and I was told this would be taken care of this morning. Could’ve taken it somewhere else but I really liked Brett. We’ll see where this goes so I guess it’s the alternator like I was told she told me 503 which I told her the alternator was only $147 at the auto parts store at which she said they need to make their own money too. This lady really didn’t want to deal with me. Kind of rude actually definitely rude. She hung up on me before she even said thank you or anything and I told her to go ahead with it because I don’t have a choice i’m not gonna sit and try to bargain with someone who’s telling me that they have to make their profit on it too by doubling it or more actually it’s more than that so tune in later I’ll finish my review as of right now I’m going to get ready to go pick up my van, which she didn’t tell me when it would be finished I’m assuming about a half an hour from what I understand from the mechanic it was an easy fix. I’m not sure what this girl’s problem is but I definitely wouldn’t put someone like this in the front desk. I’m assuming she is the owners daughter because nobody acts like that unless they’re related and they are allowed to be rude. I’ll finish my review later., ok update came in 2 hrs later after telling her to do it she said keys were in it I said how much do I owe you she said nothing I said it’s finished she said you said it was to much I said no I said I had to do it & told u to go ahead I had no choice she told me to take my vehicle & go I’m just completely confused on how this woman has a job & how people like this are allowed to work with the public I went to start my vehicle to drive it somewhere else & they left door open battery was completely dead to I went in to ask for a jump & was told to wait I’m my car ( like I’m a threat) & someone will jump it omg unbelievable I did & now I’m somewhere else I’m disgusted & once home will be speaking with corporate you don’t handle people like this !
Red flags from the beginning that I ignored now my car needs fixed at a dealership and it's not going to be cheap. My car is virtually brand new but I wanted to put better tires on it for winter because the base tires just weren't good. I needed a specific tire they carried and I set up an appointment weeks in advance. I get there and guess what, they don't have them, no one ordered them once they realized they didn't have them and no one called me. That was the first red flag. They order them and a few weeks later they get the tires. THE ONLY REASON I WENT TO THIS PLACE WAS THEY WERE THE ONLY PLACE ABLE TO GET IN THE TIRES I WANTED.
I go in Saturday and the lady gives me a paper with the "Discussed and agreed upon price." I never talked or agreed upon anything... We were waiting for them to even get the tires in. My wife brought up issues with the bill over $2k because it didn't match the website and the price just didn't make since. Eventually we were able to get the discount they have they didn't add into the bill until we asked and got rid of some unnecessary charges... That was the second red flag.
The third red flag comes with their required alignment charge. This vehicle drove perfect and has about 12k miles on it, again I just got the car last year. We didn't want the alignment they said we needed it. We said maybe for used cars that have more wear but this one shouldn't need it. She kept pushing it and I got tired of the situation and said fine lets just get the tires on, you can do the alignment.
The 4th red flag was the time they told us. We had an appointment, a bay was empty and they should have gotten my car right in. We were told it will take an hour and a half. Okay sounds good. We went for a walk and a call never came about an update on my car... 2 hours go by and nothing... We go back and It's not ready.. Took about 4 hours to get the car finished.
So before I pay for the tires I asked if the alignment they made us get went perfect? She said yeah everything is great.
Fine, we paid almost $2k and left.
My steering is loose and shaky, my steering wheel is now tilted to the left when trying to keep the car straight, my car now pulls and drifts to the left, my inner wheel well liner is hanging off on the rear left too.
No one has returned my calls to address this situation!
So here I am with my car with destroyed alignment and other issues. Brand new car, 12k miles that I now have to take to a dealership to get fixed and frankly this place should be paying the bill for what they messed up.
The situation is unacceptable and not trying to help fix the issues they caused show just how unprofessional this company is and that they only car about money.
DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!
I went out to my car last Saturday and noticed a fresh oil spot on the ground under my wheel well. I called car-x and they said i could bring it in that day (Saturday) and they would take a look at it around 4pm. Well i dropped it off around 10am and they called me back by 10:30am. Thankfully it wasnt anything wrong with my car, but they got me in quicker than expected and resolved my issue promptly and with great service. Thanks Team!
My battery died at work. A co worker jumped my car and I went directly to CarX. They took me in right away and replaced my battery. They have been a life saver more than once for me. I highly recommend this place. Great service and very helpful.
Came here to get breaks fixed on my Mercedes and get a oil change which comes with a top off of washer fluid, I specifically told manager that there was a notification coming up saying I needed washer FLUID I PAID $150 for a oil change and got breaks fixed my total was like $1100 and guess what THEY DIDNT TOP OFF THE WASHER FLUID!! They had my Mercedes for 8 HOURS!!! To make a long story short A THOUSAND DOLLARS IN AND IM STILL RIDING AROUND WITH A NOTIFICATION COMING UP SAYING “check washer fluid”!!! Then when I called him and told him he said “he didn’t put in the washer fluid? Mybad stop back by and we’ll put it in” WELL AFTER GIVING YOU GUYS OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND YOU FORGET SOMETHING SO LITTLE I DOUBT THEY EVEN DID THE OIL CHANGE!!!! they messed up with me because my time is limited and I don’t have time for HALF DONE WORK!!! How could you call someone and tell them their car is ready with a big sign coming up saying “need washer fluid”????! Didn’t I pay $150 for oil change and washer fluid??? Some things I just can’t understand. And it’s really disappointing and bogus that they didn’t care enough to make sure everything was done the Mercedes Benz dealership would’ve charged a little bit more but I rather hadve paid more to get it done right! Because it’s just ridiculous that after all that they couldn’t put in washer fluid when you do a oil change your supposed to check all the fluids and top them off
Had them do inspection on a used car. Found 2 issues and fixed at very reasonable price. Have used them many times over the years and found to be trustworthy and honest in their dealing. They are friendly and helpful if you are in a bind.
I came to this location a few times in the past and was always happy when I left. Recently my parents came out of town to visit me and had a nail in their tire. We took their truck to Car-x and they had it fixed less than 40 minutes. They were professional, quick and the price was cheap! I will always bring my vehicle there to get serviced. I highly recommend them
TLDR folks—to sum it, up these guys go the extra mile and can be trusted. Detailed review— These guys are everything you hope for in a mechanic. Heard some funny noises and called at 5:58p Friday minutes before closing. They gave me an appointment for the next day, a Saturday which is almost impossible to get an appointment for. I know bc I called several places before landing here. First extraordinary point of service, they asked me to take a ride with the mechanic so I could show him the noise I was talking about. I’ve never had anyone do that before and feels like such an essential part of making sure you’re diagnosing what the customer is hearing and not some other thing. Second extraordinary point of service, front desk guy brought me into the shop and pointed out with a pen light exactly what was wrong. And he broke it down by what needed urgent attention first. Third extraordinary point of service, he taught me how to check my oil . He could’ve said Google it but instead he took the five minutes to walk me back into the shop and take me through the steps. Not everyone grows up with a mechanically inclined father or other person to teach them these basics. He didn’t look at me like I’m dumb or talk down to me. He gave me his thoughts and advice on a few other topics, I really appreciated him sharing his knowledge. I left feeling confident that I knew exactly what to do, how much things would cost, and that I would be safe until I had to see them again. What a breath of fresh air!! Ladies, young folks, elders, anyone worried about getting fleeced, these are the guys you can depend on and trust. It’s nearly a 30 min drive for me but I’ll come here for everything from now on.
I have been to this CarX several times. They are always courteous and great to deal with. They also did really well on the repairs. The entrance to the parking lot sometimes gets little difficult and hard to maneuver through when it is busy. Prices overall were good. I would recommend this CarX over others in the area.
We had our transmission replaced at a Carx in Chicago. It acted up on a trip to Davenport and we suspected a loose connection. We stopped here without an appointment. The manager was awesome. In 30 minutes problem was found and fixed and we were on our way. Best part was “no charge!” Way above and beyond our expectations. Highly recommend.
Dan and his crew are the best. I've been taking my vehicles the for years. They always explain everything thoroughly. They don't try to tack on unnecessary repairs like other places try to do. I highly recommend this shop for all your car maintenance and repair needs.
Many businesses have similar products, tools, equipment and knowledge when it comes to auto repair but what puts Car-X above the rest is their CUSTOMER SERVICE!
My car had recently just unexpectedly died and was not showing signs of wanting to live on after being revived by a kind lady in the Tire dept. at Sam’s Club. For fear of being stranded elsewhere, I called Car-X to find out if they could somehow fit me in on such short notice. They said it would be maybe 45 min before they could take a look at it but I drove straight there to ensure I could make it. The gentleman who took my call greeted me and was very kind and understanding of my situation even though he had a lot full of cars to work on that day.
The crew there was pleasant and they were able to take a look at my car, solve my issue and even take a look further to see if any other issue may arise. I was in and out of there in a little over an hour.
Not only was my car ready to live on for another few years, but I had much more peace of mind being able to get back behind the wheel and not fear being stranded somewhere. I can’t thank the team at Car-X enough for their quick work and their pleasant customer service - I will definitely be recommending them to anyone I know!
P.S. If you have a feeling it’s time to get your car looked at, schedule an appointment now! They do free estimates - trust your gut and get it looked at!
Absolutely the most friendly, reliable service I have ever had. These guys dropped everything to help me fix my classic van on the way home from Indiana to Arizona. Incredibly honest, reliable and friendly. I would make these guys my new family mechanic if I lived in state. You can trust these guys.
Top-notch, professional service on Labor Day 2019! During a long road trip home, I needed to get my car serviced for an overheating engine. Les worked me into his schedule, identified the problem (failed water pump), fixed it, and had me back on the road just a few hours after bringing the car in. Amazing job! I really appreciated his willingness to work a little longer on a holiday to get be back onto the road and home. Would highly recommend this shop!
Best experience I've had in an auto shop ever. Really... Called at 7:30am, in at 9:00am, and out at 10:00am all for a busted exhaust system. The on-site fabricator fixed the issue rather than trying to sell me on a full replacement. Then he was kind enough to take me out and walk me through the repair personally. I will definitely be back and recommend!
