They scratched up my wheels bad when I went in to get a set of low profile tires put on. When I…read morebrought up the issue after having gone home and then noticing the damage to the wheels, they said there wasn't anything they could do about it and that this happens all the time. This is the only place I've ever such bs from. They never told me their machine couldn't do low profile tires with out damaging the wheels and then let a paying costumer leave without informing them of the damage. These were expensive wheels from a 50k car. Would not reccomend this place to my worst enemy.

Took my car in for an oil change and to have the brakes checked in November, 2020…read more Terrific, efficient oil job. Fair prices, not the cheapest, but not bad at all. I brought the car back the next day for the brakes. They explained all of the options about what was needed now and what could wait a while. They ordered the parts, and fixed it while I waited the same day. They did a great job. More was needed than I expected, but my car is pretty old (but in fantastic shape), so I was not surprised. Their labor prices may be a bit higher than some of the smaller shops in town, but not much different. I echo the other posters here about their customer service. It was professional and friendly. The waiting room is sufficiently comfy if you have to wait a while. Also, they have really fast free wi-fi; I was able to get some work done while I waited. It will definitely become my go to place for oil changes and basic car repair work.

In all seriousness... Car dealerships seem to have either 5-star or 1-star reviews... so what's…read morewith another one? I think it comes down to basics of service... are you happy or not. In my case, I have owned 2 Outback's since 2016 and drive them between CA and WI. I have experience w sales, service in a couple locations and I find the Kocourek dealership to be a better choice. I have 2 experiences to compare Kocourek to others. 1. Service, last week I brought my Outback in for 60K service knowing rear pads were at 2mm from another location check 3K miles ago. I got a quote for service and breaks from my Subaru dealer in CA and the out the door price was over $2300. Doing the same service here plus rear brakes ran me just over $1400. I drive down from 3Lakes area and wait for the car... they arranged for a rental so I could tool around Wausau for a few hours. all in all a great day. 2. Sales, last week when I was doing service, I reviewed purchasing a 2nd Subaru for the family. having purchased 2 Outback's in CA I found that getting anything less than MSRP is nearly impossible without broker or fleet connections... Whereas here in the Midwest, Kocourek started at $2500 off MSRP. Then when picking up the car today, they said that they had pre-installed "undercoating" but were absorbing it... as a courtesy for the few days of back and forth texts and emails to close the deal. Bottom line, this dealer is over the top in both service and sales compared to the 2 local dealers I am used to in Northern California. Happy to share I am a big fan.

But, they said they didn't know if they could do a drain and fill with filter replacement for auto 2012 passat and they said I had to take it in to see if they could. I did and they called me saying they could do it. Great, the dealer charges about 500 and I could do ot myself for under 339. Service advisor said it would be over 1000 dollars and if I didn't want it that I pay 85 for them telling me what a ridiculous, twice as much as VW dealer would charge. They had my car so I paid the 85 and want them to know they lost a customer for now unless something happens. Why did I not be told 85 bucks just to see if they can do a job?

I have been looking for a mechanic since relocating to Wausau about 6 months ago. Went there for…read morethe first time. I had a problem with a tire and I was a bit concerned (I have fairly unusual tires that are difficult to find). They took it, diagnosed the problem in about 15 minutes and it turned out to be something very minor. While I was there I had them do some routine maintenance (oil change, air filter, tire rotation, etc.). I was in and out in about 90 minutes and the price was very reasonable. The seem like good, honorable mechanics. Also, their online appointment system worked flawlessly. I set a time, they offered a different time (just two hours later), they confirmed by text and email and were ready and waiting for me when I arrived. So often those online/electronic systems do not work. This was terrific. I will be back.
