I was very disappointed with my experience here, especially after reading the other glowing reviews. I had a miserable four months leading up to my visit: At least three other repair shops failed to diagnose the reason my car would not start intermittently. One out-of-town shop replaced my battery (I travel for work); another in town replaced a few ground wires. NONE of them recommended a starter replacement.



After looking online, I decided to try C.A.R.S. The manager assured me that no unnecessary repairs would be recommended. Somehow it was determined that a new starter was necessary, and $335 later, I was sent on my way with promises of a consistently running car. However, my remote starter no longer worked. I was told they knew nothing about remote starts, and I had to take the car back to where it was installed to fix that particular problem (even though it was caused by their work).



Two days later, in a parking garage downtown, my car didn't start. When I called C.A.R.S., I was told have the car towed myself. I had used my yearly AAA allotment for this problem, so C.A.R.S. recommended a company that would tow for $90. What company doesn't stand behind their own work enough to offer a tow for an unfixed issue? The garage security helped me start the car (which wouldn't take a jump) and he suggested the problem still might be the battery.



I immediately drove the car to a local affiliate of the company that replaced the battery. The remedy to my problem? A very-corroded ground wire. Within 30 minutes, the wire was sanded - FOR FREE, reattached, and my problems were over, except that I paid $335 for a new starter that I didn't need and my remote start still does not work. At least I've narrowed down the list of places to take my car; it will NOT include C.A.R.S.

They did a great job

I went in for brake service and an oil change. I was worried that my car wouldn't be fixed properly after they were finished, I've had bad experiences in the past with dealers and a "quick change" brake place. They did a great job and they are reasonably priced. I will continue to use CARS at Polaris for future needs. I highly recommend them.
