good service and they are usually pretty quick! not very expensive and are on top of recommending things and letting you know when your car should be taken in for other maintenance. i made a mistake and rated them lower prior because i misread my receipt, good spot. read more

State inspection. You gotta get it done and Kwik Kar is easy and fast. Park under the canopy at the side of the parking lot, get your proof of insurance out, and a tech will come out and get you started in just a few minutes. read more

Very professional business. Clean. Knowledgeable. Last year and this year, Bo met me in the parking lot, did the oil change, checked tires, etc., cleaned windows and vacuumed. Good service. read more

It was time for an annual car inspection and we came in on a weekday morning. We were immediately greeted when we pulled in and was told that there were 3 cars ahead of us and it would probably take 45 minutes. We sat in the waiting area, which was clean and it didn't smell bad. The TV on the other hand, was set to an obnoxious channel. Our car inspection was taken care of and the service techs were very professional. They didn't try to upsell you on anything, so that was great! They provided the required paperwork and we were on our way! read more

See all

I went there to get my oil changed and they put the wrong amount of oil in. They put in oil for a four-cylinder. I have a six cylinder I took it back. It was low almost 2 quarts so I decided that I just re-change the whole thing and they charge me full price so I paid double The manager wouldn't give me a break so I'll never go back. They lost me as a customer. read more

You can't believe how terrible this shop is! I went in to get two brake rotors replaced and waited five hours. When I got home, I realized they had only replaced one but still charged me for both. I had to go all the way back, and when I did, there was no explanation and no apology -- the front desk guy just said he didn't know anything and told me to speak directly to the mechanics. The mechanics simply replaced the second rotor like they knew they had messed up and expected me to come back. read more

man they had fuck up my car I had git an oil change and turn up all and the same day my car woul not move and ran hot

My tire pressure light was on. Popped in to get my tires checked and air added. Was in and out in 5min. Gentleman there was very nice and helpful. They weren't too busy, but stopped what he was doing to assist me. read more

State inpection , very good customer service

I've been coming here for a while now for oil change and state inspection. Price is kinda high but most of these places are. They are never pushy, always friendly and always professional. They get you in and out, sometimes there's a wait but they try to move you out there right away. read more

Am their customer during !5 years. The best experience on the island. They always try to over-sell you something but this is the same with other shops, and is easy to reject/circumvent. I especially value the expertise of Tyson, he is always very knowledgeable, helpful and cooperative. read more

I have used this company for several years and recently that have taken up the worst business practices. From upselling products that werenot requested and using them without permission. High pressure to upsell products and services. Use this company at your own risk. read more

Showed up with older vehicle with "misfire cylinder" issue. Told by one of the employees that it's probably spark plugs and it will cost me less if I buy my parts. Since I didn't know what exactly spark plug wires my vehicle used I just got the plugs. When I left the vehicle the mechanic was not on the spot. 2 hours later I've been called and notified that car is ready. $256 The moment I left check engine start blinking again - same issue. After unpleasant conversation with mechanic over the phone he said that he will charge me 1 hour next day to change the wires. Next day he said that I was supposed to bring my own parts. No warranty. Another $260 (labor plus parts). Blinking light the moment I left the shop. I'm ready to spend money of fixing a car. But the car isn't fixed. I'd agree on partial labor refund - the job is done but no results. Seems fair. But doesn't seem like they care. read more

I wanna compliment Mr Tyson who is the manager of this Kwik Kar. There was a problem on a Carfax report with a basic mileage error. We discovered that the car with the mileage discrepancy was the one I gave to my granddaughter who at the time was trying to sell the car. CARfax report made the potential buyer nervous thinking that we had rollback the odometer (which is no longer possible in the digital age) Mr. Tyson was very knowledgeable and was very helpful in cleaning up the discrepancy which basically inadvertently added mileage for my truck to the jeep that I gave my granddaughter. It took us a while to figure out what was going on but we figured out what was going on in the database and the manager corrected the discrepancy in the vin number for my truck. He also offered to talk to the prospective buyer and let him know that it was not deception but an error which he corrected and made note of. All this while his day was very busy. Thanks to him it should make it easy to get the prospective buyers to understand. I have been taking all my vehicles to this Kwik Kar location for a number of years and the staff there have always been polite courteous, and helpful. Highly recommended! read more

Cross sell / up sell -- I understand. This was insane. A 100% good air filter (it's white -- no dirt) and I'm told I need to replace. Some mythical carbon build up which really pissed me off in that the tech removed screws off the engine cover. I just had the car serviced by Galveston Auto Professionals. Kwik Kar now Kompletely sucks. Last trip to these losers. It's why my wife won't go to any auto service place. Shame on you Kwik Kar. Women, take a guy that rebuilt an engine and buy them a glass of beer / wine afterwards. Damn, Kwik Kar is Krappy. read more

What a joke! I found a $7 off coupon ON THEIR WEBSITE but because I didn't print it out, they wouldn't honor it. It doesn't say it needs to be printed. What a waste of paper too! $139.66 for a diesel oil change and they done honor their own coupon? I'll never give them my business again. read more

Timely. Efficient. Helpful. Friendly. I got my state inspection done here for $25. They had it done within an hour. I am glad I chose Kwik Kar. read more

These guys are great! I came here to get my vehicle inspected and they got it done really quickly. About a month later I bought some new license plates and they replaced them for me free of charge! Super awesome and friendly staff! read more

I needed a fast turn-around on a simple oil change. Guy asks me what oil, I tell him, truck pulled into bay, quoted me the cost, I okayed it, bang. Oil changed and out the door in less than 30 mins. No pressure to purchase anything else, no showing me the colors of other fluids that I didn't ask for, no b.s. That's all I wanted, and honestly was impressed. Great job guys, sorry I didn't catch your names. read more

Reasonable priced, fast service, friendly people. My only gripe is they are horrible as trying to scam you into buying additional goods and services you don't need. I am fanatical about oil changes. They tried to tell me my oil was mud and tried to sell me an $80 engine flush. They tried to sell a guy I was talking to a PCV Valve when he had just recently changed it himself. So, just don't buy into their sales pitch and everything else is good. read more

So never judge a book by its cover, I pulled up and saw all the tattoos and piercings, etc, and thought Yikes these people are ging to rude, and or not speak., HOWEVER, that was not the case at all. SUPER FRIENDLY AND POLITE AND AWESOME is the only words that I can say. I will continue to come here and get my state inspections and may start getting my oil changed here too. read more

Do not pay attention to all of the bad reviews.... These guys are awesome and very knowledgeable When it comes to products and services I will recommend this place to my family and friends read more

Slow! Slow! Slow! Over an hour to get an oil change. Only two people working and it's like they are intentionally working as slow as they can. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Wow. This place is higher than the dealership. $78 plus for an oil change that is $55-60 at the dealership and $45-50 elsewhere. They charged me $114 for a barking brake adjustment that should not have been more than $65. No wonder there is no wait here. Ridiculous. The shop across the street has a 2-3 hour wait so I came over here to get screwed. Never again. read more

The guys I dealt with at Kwik Kar were friendly, informative, and not pushy. After going to RT Tire for an inspection and being told that my "tire wouldn't pass" (convenient since I'm at a tire store!), I headed over here. The gentleman that performed my inspection went over the various services I likely need to get done due to the mileage of my car. He merely recommended these and was not salesy about it. It was a super fast and friendly experience. Plus they have "ladies day", which is 10% off on Tuesday's. Sweet! read more

They try to up sale you on services not needed. Tried to convince me to change the transmission fluid on my daughters Jeep with less than 20,000 miles on it. read more

Do not go here! They lie to your face! Total scam artists! Try and sell you and everyone who walks in a flush for $200 regardless of whether you meed it! Tell you that synthetic oil is only good for 3,000 miles when the truth is synthetic oil is good for 10,000 miles! These clowns will ruin your day! read more

I've been coming here for awhile, and have always been pleased, but today was different. I felt pressured to have my engine flushed because I had gone 3,000 miles over the recommended oil change time. That was money I didn't have to spend, but the guy told me that my oil was burned and that it would destroy my engine if I left without fixing it. Additionally, there was a lot of yelling (angry screaming and cussing) and throwing things in the bays at one point between employees. All of the customers were uncomfortable. Then, as I'm checking out, the guy working the register starts to get on to the guy that brought my keys. He angrily told him to do something and used the F word TWICE in front of me. I don't have an issue with the word normally, but it was super unprofessional and made me feel awkward. I won't be going back. Not completely because of bad service, but because of the behavior of the employees. read more

Have been here twice, for a state inspection and then an oil change on a later visit. The state inspection was handled quickly and efficiently even on a busy day. I came in for an oil change 15 minutes before closing and asked the owner (manager?) for advice on an oil flush and type of oil to use. He was very knowledgeable and provided what I thought was good advice. Very willing to explain things even though they were about to close. They even had to special-order a filter for my Mini Cooper and still finished the oil change very quickly. I'll be back with my other vehicles. read more

Glad I did not pay attention to the negative reviews! Oil change was quick and efficient. The attendant reviewed all that was done and pointed out some areas for me to keep an eye on. He did not try to upsell me or treat me like a "girl". IMHO The price I paid was fair. My experience was 5 stars and I will return. read more

My wife took her care for a simple oil change on her 2011 Lexus rx350, put in synthetic oil which is not required and charged her $95.00. We've changed oil in this vehicle usually at the dealership and cost is $35.00.... As other reviews have stated they take advantage of the ladies, never again as I will never bring another vehicle of refer anyone to the business. STAY AWAY!! read more

The first and only time I used this shop, my oil filter fell off on the road, and destroyed my engine. Had to buy a new vehicle, that day, to get to the next job site. Use the 61st street shop instead. They haven't destroyed my vehicle yet. read more

My friend went here last month for and inspection and they told her 1 1/2 hour wait. They only had one car in the shop and no others outside. She asked the girl why it would take so long she said she didnt know that is just what the guys told her. I didn't think any thing of it, I go here for my oil changes etc so I stopped in today to get an inspection. I was told it would be 45 minutes. They had one car they were doing an oil change on and it was the only car there. I get my oil changed there all the time it does not take 45 minutes!! They are just lazy, and don't want to do inspections because they don't get but 5 dollars a piece for them. I know this because my husband does them in Webster. (No I had no desire to drive from Galveston to Webster). Anyway if you dont want to do them then don't . But don't advertise it and then lie to your customers. Or in this case your ex customer. read more

I'm a woman. BUT I know about cars. They tried to sell me on every upgrade possible, almost insisting my car needed it because it has 100K+ miles. Let's not take advantage gentlemen. I go to the exxon mobil on broadway now. excellent, NO HASSLE service read more

They are absolutely thieves. Do not ever take your car for inspection there. They find something to repair and make money. They sold me a very small piece of windshield wiper for $24. Later on, I checked it online; it was $5. read more

Never take your car there for an inspection. They will always find something wrong so they can make money.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They run to get he job done. Did not try to push extra unnecessary charges onto me. 10/10 will come back

Wish i could give a 0. Put a pansaver in my car without asking. When i took it back after no one. Would change my oil because the put that thing in there they said they did it to help me because the pan was no good. Mechanic wanted six hundred to replace oil pan. So i took out the pan saver whitch took an hour there not ment to come out. Put a reagular plug right in. So they probly lost my plug then just threw that thing in. I read online that they have done this before. The mechanic i talk to about it even knew which place did it before i told him. Went back again asked for a refund for all the work i had to do because of them. Manager was rude said they were doing me the favor thanks by the way. Then got in anargument with him then he acted as if he was going to fight me. DO NOT EVER GO HERE EVER. read more
