Police record of report for stolen item.
Mark S.

I don't take making an accusation likely, but there is a thief here and at a minimum you need to make sure you have nothing of value out in the open if you bring your business to this location. This was my go to place to do business too; I just gave them over $500 of business on two vehicles just a month ago. This incident occurred during a visit for a state inspection required for vehicle registration. Right before I pulled in I saw that my Dragy device; an electronic speed vs distance datalogger, was in the center console of my truck with the charging cord plugged into it and was flashing red; and I thought to myself it needs to be charged. So if I hadn't seen it right before pulling in then I might think it had been lifted somewhere else. When I parked my truck here the doors were locked and windows up. After the service was completed, I left and was about a mile away when I remembered it needed to be plugged in for charging. Except it wasn't there to charge. I turned right around, went back, and got the manager. Nobody would return it so the Irving police department came and a report was filed; Report# 21-27675. I obviously won't be returning because they can't be trusted. Additionally, been coming here for years, but the people working here now are fairly new from the previous crew.

Just like the name suggests, Kwik Kar off MacArthur is QUICK, professional and efficient. I went in on the weekend to get my state inspection done. I did call ahead but they weren't doing appointments for that - it's just first come first serve. I was in and out within maybe 15 minutes if that! Pricing also seems reasonable. I had another car servicing center in desoto but need a new spot since moving to the Irving area. I can definitely see myself returning for other car services. If only I had looked here on yelp to check in, I could've got an discount for being a first time customer!

Missing washer in drain oil plug

On 04/18/22 I took my Audi to Kwik Kar Valley Ranch in Irving for oil change. I brought my own oil filter, oil and air filter. They slapped me a bill of $114.40 for the labors that also included the drain plug part On Friday evening 05/06/22 (~3 weeks after oil change), my Audi displayed the dreaded "oil running low warning" light on the dashboard. I adamantly thought this was a serious problem somewhere like gasket leak. So I took it to my trusted mechanics (Ruben's All Auto Repair) immediately On Monday 05/09/22 my trusted mechanics discovered the issue. The oil plug was missing the washer, causing the oil leaking!!! Apparently those Kwik Kar mechanics carelessly forgot to put the washer back when they done. My trusted mechanics had to special ordered the new washer, poured additional ~ 3 quarts of oil and cleaned all oil leaks that spilled under the car along the axle, etc. A bill of $175 to fix what Kwik Kar had damaged Returning to Kwik Kwar, I initially was calm having conversation w the manager who claimed a new company is taking over Kwik Kwar. He mentioned this excuse several times. My angry rebuttal was pointing to his shirt, "what is the name of the company labeling on your shirt! It spells Kwik Kar, not new company." He then claimed the Kwik Kar mechanics who worked that 04/18/22 weekend also messed up other cars including a Jaguar!!!! Bashing his own employees and said they were let go!!! I pressed him about what he can right the wrong w the $114.40 messed up job? His response, "we cannot reimburse you. But we can give you free oil change if you come back next time" 1. "Y'all cost me $175 just now. Why would I want to come back for another whack job!" 2. "You telling me this verbally! How will the next manager I talk to in 10 months knows the deal you giving me?" Most absurd idiotic answer I heard in a long time, "I'll be here when you come back!!!" He also refused to give me store credit. He then wrote down a promised note about free oil change instead. Amateur management, wreck-less auto mechanics care!!! You just lost this customer for good

It was same day service, within 3 hours of my call. I can't ask for more responsiveness than that. The inspection resulted in me not purchasing the vehicle and while that was disappointing, I was pleased with the information that Mateo presented. He was thorough, pleasant and informative. I consider it money well spent.

Our Toyota Corolla's engine light came on and then the car stopped turning on at all. We were worried that it would be a huge issue and weren't able to take it to the dealership. Scheduling was super easy and quick. DFW Mobile Repair came to our home promptly at their scheduled time, and they did a great job communicating with us before, during, and after the service. It turns out it was a corroded battery. The price for the diagnostic and the service he completed was a fair price and I felt we were in good hands with honest mechanics. The technician even suggested we take the battery to autozone since it should still be under warranty and that is just what we did (they replaced it free of charge). Our car is back in business and we won't hesitate to use them again if the need should arise.

They told me I needed a timing cover gasket.. I had a bad feeling so I took it to An actual Mechanic shop called Riviera auto diagnostic.. They said I do not need a timing cover gasket, which would've been an $800 job a quote from Irving Mobile. Riviera told me because of the first mess up country side did.. I needed an engine oil filter housing gasket a $14.99 part plus labor. They told me that countryside had squished oil all over the place which had to be cleaned up and the real problem fixed. I will never ever use Yelp again for a Mobile mechanic.. Irving Mechanic just pulled something out of the sky. The problem is, they don't have a hoist when it's in your driveway to really get to the problem.. I highly recommend Riviera auto diagnostic located in Pantego. These Mobile mechanics are a joke.!

They promised all these services and only thing the guy…read moredid is a visual inspection...I didn't even consider the quote they gave me, because I don't think he actually saw where the leak was coming from. I looked at it and can see there was coolant in a few places, but I could not pin point the source and neither did he. You guys should do what you say you will do.

My daughter took her car here due to a rattling sound coming from underneath the hood. Scared…read moreshe'd breakdown on the way into work, she asked Driver's Edge in Irving, Texas to diagnose the sound. Driver's Edge put together a comprehensive inspection report listing items that required immediate attention and items that were more recommendations. The quote was fairly pricey for the "required" items so she asked me to take a look. I called Trey at Driver's Edge and focused more on the "required" items walking through each item that he suggested required immediate attention. I agreed with him on suspension issues and alignment but questioned the severity of the valve cover leak and the urgency of replacing the rear deck brake light. Trey made it a point to say that the replacement brake light itself was only $7 but the labor to replace the bulb was fairly extensive and was expected to take about 2 hours for the bulb replacement alone. Being busy myself and just wanting to ensure my daughter was safe driving the car, I agreed to all "required" service items which totaled about $3300 in repairs. My daughter's car was done same day and while she was driving home I looked up how difficult it was to replace the brake light. Surprisingly enough, a YouTube video revealed that replacement of the bulb was extremely simple and only took a few moments. I texted Trey to voice my concern that he mislead me and it's been radio silence (after a few attempts of me reaching out). Now I'm questioning whether any of the other services he suggested were really needed. If you value honesty and integrity in car repairs, this place is not for you. If they flat out lie about a brake light replacement, what else are they misleading people about? Here's the YouTube video....does this look like it's 2 hours of labor? Driver's Edge robbed me of $251.49 for this. Shame on me for trusting Trey but in our busy lives, we sometimes need to trust that what we are being told is accurate.

The mechanics were very insistent that I need to stay and fix these issues. They quoted me more than $3000 for the parts and labor cost. Being sceptical, I checked my car camera footage, and saw that the mechanics spent 6-7 minutes looking around the front hood, and then proceeded to chat in the back for the rest of the 1.5 hours. P.S. I went to another auto shop for inspection after. They told me there weren't any issues and that there were just faulty readings on the car sensor.

I called the day prior to see if they take appointments (they do not) and I was pleasantly surprised how nice the employee was on the phone. First good sign! I went today and parked. As I was walking into the garage customer entrance, a nice man asked if he could help me. I explained that I needed a state inspection on my Tesla and he directed me to pull to the first bay. Once I did this. I followed him into the little office. Another employee greeted me warmly and asked how I was. Wow, what a difference from the other experience! I recognized his voice and thanked him for being so nice when I called the day prior for how kind he was. I was in and out in a flash. No telling me my brakes were bad, I needed new tires- no BS. They treated me respectfully, which is always a rarity when it comes to females walking into an auto garage. Will I return? MOST DEFINITELY and I will be referring others to take their business there. Thank you so much for the positive experience!!
