About a month back I took my car in for engine trouble. After several days and several issues…read morepopping up I was left with a bill of 1,300. They wanted to replace the ball bearings as well, but that would've been another 800 and I didn't want to spend too much all at once. I was already spending a months pay for me on it. Fast forward to now and my car is literally worthless. The underside has rusted and rotted away, verging on falling apart completely. I can't even get a tow truck driver to take it in because they're worried that will just make it worse. It's wild to me that after having my car for several days and having found several other issues, they just somehow didn't notice this. I spent 1,300 dollars on repairs and they somehow didn't notice the one thing that has killed my car. They should've noticed it when they had it, and then maybe I'd have 1,300 more dollars to burn on a new car.

After searching ten different new and used automobile dealers, up to 100 miles away, I found the…read morebest deal possible in what could be termed my own backyard. I would suggest that you could save a lot of time, possibly money by visiting Lawrence Auto Clinic and Sales in Cambria. IL. I found Tony Lawrence to be an honest, upfront, personable human being who in his words "We sell good vehicles at a reasonable price and will not sell junk". Honda CR-V EX I purchased from Tony was as good as any dealer's featured front row late model used car..spotless and in excellent condition. Hopefully, I will be finished looking at a car purchase for myself for a decade but if my daughters or grandchildren need a good used vehicle at a fair price I'll suggest they visit or call Tony to see what he has on his lot first. Respectfully, Bob Camp,Carbondale,IL.

There was stains and spills that soap and water was not getting out. They did a fantastic job and I will definitely go back once a year. My only issue was drop off. They told me they had drop off available so I came before class. However, they meant they'll drop you off on your car. I didn't feel comfortable with that. Other than that, this place is honest and hardworking. They have great prices. I've told many people about this business.

While I was broken down last week in a parking lot (my ignition cylinder broke), I called to ask if someone could come out to help me hot wire my car as I did not have the tools in the parking lot to do it myself. While I was on the phone, the man doubted my diagnosis and tried saying it could've been from a chipped key. He further stated that in order for him to come out and "diagnose" my car and to help me start it to move to a different location, he was going to charge me $125. I didn't see the purpose in having someone come out to the parking lot to tell me a diagnosis that I already knew, and I didn't need it moved anywhere as I was in a parking lot and not on the side of the road. The man on the phone was not friendly, and he acted like I didn't know what I was talking about (I am a woman living in a man's world apparently!) He told me he would call me back in 5 minutes after he researched what would've needed to be done & he never even called me back. Thankfully, I have a great village of people down here in Carbondale who were able to assist me with the proper tools to get it hot wired. If I had to rely on this business, I would not have a running car today! GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!

The only con is the length of time it takes, but if you want your car fixed right, and you are going to a good person, expect a wait since everyone else is going too. The price was very reasonable as well, and whatever quote Karen gives you, expect that or even a tad lower.
