I had an amazing visit and received A+ service. I took in my used Audi that I purchased a few months ago. Will and the amazing staff at Kolben evaluated my car and came up with a plan to get my car caught up with needed services and a list of services for the near future. I am so grateful that I found an automotive team that I can trust to take great care of my car. read more

The owners of this place Jesus and Marcos are unprofessional. Told my husband "you know where to find me" and unsent the message. If you want to be harassed and be given the runaround - this place is for you. They are unprofessional. After we agreed to let them take the car for a test run, it broke down on them and they left it on the side of the road to be towed by the CHP. All I want is my car back. I have 2 kids that go to preschool and I'm a working mom. I need my car back desperately. We have all the messages for a good defense and he is telling me I don't have a case read more

I was a previous customer at Universal Auto which is now Kolben. Best experience I've ever had an auto repair shop for my Mercedes. Chuy was honest, gave me a fair price and excellent diagnosis of the problem with my engine. They finished the work In less time then I was quoted. Very professional and really knowledgeable about European cars. Chuy clearly knows cars. Very satisfied. Will be back again! read more

I called to get a price on a job... to see if they could do a repair on my car for the same price as the BMW OF VISALIA... Because I live closer to Kolben ... I told the guy that answered the phone $1050 was the price that they were charging me for the job... He said yes he could do the job for the same price... I repeated three times on the price because I wanted to get it straight on the price because I had heard they were higher than anyone on BMW cars... At the end of our conversation he mumbled 1550... I thought he said 1050 so I took my car in to have the job done... Wouldn't you think he would go over the price again knowing I was set on the 1050? Probably not because he wanted 550 more for the jWhen I went to pick it up he charged 1595.00!!! I told him it was suppose to be $1050 and he argued with me and said he would have to take me to court and said there was nothing I could do!! Wouldn't let me have my car unless I paid his price after quoting me $1050... He is very dishonest and wouldn't even work with me on the price at all!! Coming to find out other people had the same issues with them. I will never use Kolben again!! Like I said they are very very dishonest!!! I asked them to call me before I left a review but never heard from them!! read more

I can't say enough good things about these guys! I brought my truck in after constantly having…read moreproblems with my front differential. Every time I'd take it out to the dunes and drive through the sand to get my camper where I wanted it, the front differential would end up cracking or failing. Brett and Kev took the time to diagnose the real issue and came up with a permanent solution. They fabricated a custom bracket to reinforce the front differential, making it much stronger, and also re-geared both the front and rear differentials. I was honestly a little hesitant at first because I'd had so many failures in the past, but after taking it back out to the dunes and putting it through some hard driving in the sand, it performed flawlessly. The difference is incredible. My truck feels stronger, more capable, and gives me the confidence to drive it the way I always wanted to. If you're looking for knowledgeable people who stand behind their work and build things the right way, I highly recommend Brett and Kev at Big Boyz. Thanks again, guys you turned my truck into a beast!

From the start, they took the time to really consult with me about how I use my truck and helped guide me toward the right equipment for my setup. That level of attention made a huge difference. Bret, Kevin, and Brenda were all fantastic -- super personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was done right. They went to great lengths to keep me informed throughout the entire process, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. I visited a few other shops before making my decision, and none of them came close to the professionalism, communication, and overall service this team provided. The lift turned out exactly how I envisioned, and the truck looks and drives amazing. The post services they include the work they do is above and beyond! If you're looking for a shop that truly cares about their customers and takes pride in their work, this is the place. I'm beyond happy with every service they provided and would absolutely recommend them.

We called Joel, he came right away and diagnosed the problem. He started with the easiest fixes hoping to save us time and money, but it turned out to be our starter. We towed the car to his car at 5 pm Friday night and he had it fixed, and us on the road by 8:30 the next morning. He worked on the car until 1 am to make sure we'd make it home on time. His price was reasonable, his workmanship was excellent and he explained the problems as he went. We were stuck and skeptical of how we were going to fix the car and Joel was patient and professional. He's great to do business with and we recommend him 100%.

He arrived on time and told me I needed a new tire and said he would call around. He also stated that he would charge me $50 flat rate. And once we found a tire he could go and exchange it for me. I agreed upon that first. He told me that my new tire was going to be around 200 dolland I thought that was a little excessive for one tire, especially such a small tire. So he said he would call another place.He called another place and as he was on the phone I listened to the conversation and google the make and model. When? My Google search came up. I seen that for a brand new tire. It ranged from 49 to $70. He gets off the phone and tells me that he found one for a hundread plus tax. I knew that was a bit excessive. So I continued to Google why he said he was going to return the tire. I sent him the screenshot of the tires I found which were all brand new and told them please do not let them overcharge me for a tire. He text me back and said he found one for a $110. And I ask him to bring the receipt when he returned. I asked him for a receipt and he showed me a receipt for a $100. Was it a proper receipt? I don't know. I just took his word for it but told him that was more expensive than any of the other tires. I had looked up so when it came time for payment. He told me it was going to be a 175 when he quoted me $50 and showed me a receipt for a 100 I told him that was more than. We talked about, but at that point it was done and I was just trying to hurry up and end the transaction. I asked him if he had changed. He told me he did not at that point I did not want to pay him any extra money because I felt like he had already charged me way too much and informed him. I was gonna go to the bank and get change. Once arriving at the bank, the lines were too long and he was waiting outside with my car. So I just went ahead and gave him the money. So we both could be done with the trandaction. All in all, I really feel like because I was a woman he did take advantage and overcharged me and up charged me. I told him as I was giving him the money that I just wanted it to be done with. He agreed took the cash and then left. In all honesty, outside of him over charcharging me he got the work done.

It happened after I had rim repair (welding at a different shop) and the Tire pressure sensor was swapped to another rim which got loose inside the tire. I visited a couple of good known mechanics and said that the sensor was detected inside the tire but for some reason they couldn't reprogram it with their scanner (no charge for that) and said maybe need to go to the dealer. I called Firestone and they quoted me for $250 parts, labor and balancing. I visited my favorite tire shop Pacific Tires 1001 E Main St Visalia CA (559) 627-8664 And right off the bat I was greeted by George and before explaining all the story he said "it is the sensor's battery or something wrong with the sensor. You need a new sensor and it will cost you $70 total" (parts, labor and rebalancing) And yes. That was the fix. They have about 8 workers and the wait is minimal. I also needed new front brakes for my Toyota Corolla and I was quoted 450 at the Toyota dealership just for the front pads (no disc) and pacific tires did new pads and new disc (front only) for less than 300 ( I forgot since was months ago) Thank you Pacific tires

A hidden gem! By chance I brought my car to this shop after calling around for pricing, I also wanted to make sure the job got done right so I brought it here. There were no hidden fees, everything was transparent from the initial phone call. Marc was a professional and ensured everything was communicated to me throughout the entire process. The mechanics were skilled and timely, my car was in and out and back on the road in no time! The shop itself was clean, up to date, and comfortable. I will definitely be bringing my car back to Kolben, thanks Marc! read more

I recently had my vehicle serviced at Kolben Auto Care and couldn't be happier with the professional experience. This company is a hidden gem. The owner and staff were amazing and knowledgeable about the process and exactly what they had performed and what exactly was needed. They provided an itemized estimate of the repairs prior to starting the projec. Kolben Auto Care went the extra mile and kept me fully informed during the entire process. I high recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy auto repair company. read more
