No complaints. I came for a second opinion and they charged me about the same price but did way more work than another shop. Super happy with the service and the work that was done. I will definitely be going back to get the suggested work done. I had to get a timing chain replacement and some gaskets replaced after they noticed an oil leak in places that the other shop didn't mention or find. They're diagnostic is top tier.

I would love to give a shoutout to this establishment. I own a 2005 Honda CRV and received an unbelievable and ridiculous estimate from South Tacoma Honda and needed a “second opinion” !! Mike at The Car Guy got me set up for an estimate. They ended up doing the work for 1/2 the price, not agreeing with some of the original estimate and actually found something NOT on the estimate that was critical. I have been back again (months later) and still find them honest and efficient. I recommend this place highly for car repair.

I had trouble with my Honda Element’s ignition system and had it towed here. They first tried to diagnose and fix the problem, before having to get my approval to fully replace the system. The repair was done in one day, and the pricing was very fair for the high quality service. Mike was very patient with me while I was trying to pay and my cards kept failing. Everyone was very friendly and I will be returning here for any future auto issues.

Five stars, and two thumbs up. Thanks to Mike, he’s a decent man. Honest, straightforward, and real. Got me in quick, diagnosed the problem, and kept me informed the whole way. Maybe a little pricey, but reasonable. I’m pleased with the car guy, and company. I believe I’ve found a decent, and reliable mechanic… Again, five stars, two thumbs up, and a good game for the old school…😅😅😅😅

The Car Guy was recommended to us by our new neighbors when we moved to Tacoma. The Car Guy has always treated me with respect (rare for mechanics when talking to a female in my experience.) The Car Guy has a very knowledgeable, skilled staff. Their estimates are conservative and very informative. I appreciate the open communication coming from their office. They share details texts with a breakdown of figures and include pictures. I have recommended this company to several people who are equally as pleased as I am!
