WHEN TO GET ONE

Smart before you buy any used car

  • Buying from a private seller or a dealer
  • A deal that looks too good to be true
  • Buying sight-unseen or from out of town
  • You want leverage to negotiate the price

John the owner of The Car Medic did a great job on my Saturn Sky. He changed the MAP sensor, installed a new intercooler for my turbo charger, and welded in a new flex exhaust pipe between the catalytic converter and the exhaust. He did a great job and was very reasonable. He has made me a regular customer. Thanks John!

Good guy, more than fair prices, and very accurate diagnosis. He knows cars. Has worked on my girlfriend and I's vehicles a number of times and never had an issue. He's usually booked, so you want to try to call ahead and schedule things!

Very quick to get me in. Great work on my car. My car broke down and was dangerous to even drive. He fixed it right up and drives great now! Thank you very much! I will be returning for future services

Very happy with the service I received on my Honda Odyssey. Fast scheduling, accurate diagnosis, fair pricing and had my car back to me in a day. Also informed me of upcoming services needed so that I could budget for them instead of pressuring me to buy more at time of service. As a woman, it's generally hard to find honest repair without feeling taken advantage of due to my lack of knowledge. Superior customer service and quality work. I'll be back 🙂

I was looking for a place to have my wife and I’s cars coolant flushed and filled for the upcoming winter months. Got right in, had them done quickly and I asked for an oil change last second, no problem! John did find a problem with a tie rod. With it being my first time at this shop, I took it for a second opinion and they assured me it needed changed. The Car Medic gave me the best quote so I took it back the next day and again John got me right in. Had it fixed in no time and runs smooth no more noise over bumps. Thanks John
