I can’t say enough good things about Carl’s. After months of dealing with another shop that just kept guessing and replacing parts, I was told the only option left was to replace my entire engine. I was so discouraged and honestly thought I bought a lemon. Then I brought my truck to Carl’s. Right away, it felt different. They actually diagnosed the problem instead of just throwing parts at it. They found the real issue, explained everything in a way I could understand, and even pointed out some leaks that definitely needed attention. No pressure, just straightforward honesty. They fixed what needed to be fixed, and now my truck drives smoother than it ever has since I bought it. Compared to my old experience, Carl’s was like a breath of fresh air. If you’re looking for a place that actua

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Carl’s Car Wash absolutely nailed it. From start to finish, the customer service was top-tier. J.C. was the technician who took care of me, and wow knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful. He didn’t just do the job; he gave solid suggestions and advice and made sure everything was done right. You can tell he actually cares. Aston (I believe it’s spelled like Aston Martin) was also incredibly welcoming and made checkout quick and easy. Super smooth experience, no confusion, no rushing, just good service. Then Whitney came by afterward to check in, asked how everything went, and even gave me a card for a free car wash. She was warm, personable, and memorable. When I asked her name, she joked, “I’m Whitney, but I don’t have any talent.” I completely disagree. Great cus

Never feel the need to leave reviews and this experience definitely left me with a need to share. Had my 2014 Hyundai Tucson serviced for an oil change. 2 weeks later, noticed a lot of oil leaking. Called Carl's Wash and they asked me yo bring it. Total wait was about 10 minutes and they were slammed busy. Saw it was a defective oil filter, replaced that with a higher quality and topped off fluids free of charge. You guys have made me a customer for life and will recommend to everyone to take your vehicle here for everything

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Franek Kulik · Dec 2025

Did not have oil filter in stock, even though I told them the vehicle and engine type when booking the appointment. Also failed my vehicle on state inspection for something that wasn’t actually needing replacement, and attempted to price gouge me for the repair. Took vehicle to regular car dealership and confirmed state inspection passed, and nothing wrong with vehicle. Spoke with management(Zack and Mike) to try and rectify these issues and instead of trying to come to a solution recommended I speak to the state police. Editing to respond to the comically unprofessional response from the company: At no point was I “walking around the shop complaining to others” nor am I “crying about it online,” as alleged. Upon returning to the property, I remained in my vehicle and respectfully reques
