Turnage Auto Care

(4 reviews)

I needed to find a place in or near Columbia to get the oil changed on my gently used ( 2012 192k )…read morePrius V. I found Turnage Auto Care through Yelp and made the appointment right through the Yelp app. Tyler messaged me and set everything up. Aaron greeted me right as I arrived and got the process started. While changing the oil they inspected my car and found a few issues with the tires I mostly knew about. He offered to send a quote to replace one or all tires & TPMS sensors ( which my 13 yr old car was needing ) I liked that they quote through a text link so you can see the cost and everything associated with the repair. You can decline the service or accept it. We talked about tires and sensors and ultimately decided to go with a better tire than quoted. They priced the cost and labor very competitively and I approved the service. There was no pressure at all during this transaction. Just information and options. I definitely was happy to find Turnage Auto Care, Tyler and Aaron. I'll be bringing both of my Hybrids to them from now on!

Best place I know of in the Lexington area to get your vehicle serviced. Tyler at the service desk…read moreis on top of the game on professionalism .

There aren't many honest auto reputable auto service centers around but this is certainly one of them.

Terrible experience I went in to have 3 tpms sensors…read morereplaced with my sensors An oil and filter change (8 quarts) with my oil and filter I supplied (2 5 quart jugs) And a tire rotation So first problem they dismounted tires to replace sensors and didn't re balance tires afterwards. Second problem they put 10 quarts of oil in my engine Severely over filling it and wasting two $20 (each) quarts of oil. Next they pull my truck out I go to pay and see one of the three tpms sensors I gave him on the counter so I asked if they replaced all three and salesman Robert tried to convince me I gave him 4 sensors and they replaced all 3 but unfortunately they couldn't activate them do to them using an autel tpms tool (all lies) I went outside and asked the tech and he said he only replaced 2 sensors and this is when I realized the tires weren't rotated either so literally everything I requested and paid for was either done incorrectly or just not done at all and then to be lied to on top of everything else by the "salesman Robert" I was less than happy. Luckily another tech Brandon stepped in and took care of everything the way it should have been done to start with, he installed the 3rd TPMs sensor rotated the tires and and activated the TPMs sensors he was polite and helpful and the only good thing about this place. Also while waiting inside I overheard Robert quote a woman $650 to replace rear brake pads on her car because the pads were getting close to needing replaced lol (highway robbery) This guy Robert is a joke and needs to go back wherever he came from I assume used car sales or calling people about a warranty that's expiring soon.

Just had an excellent experience with Mavis, and wanted to share. Woke to a leaking tire due to a…read morenail as happens so often in Columbia. Drive right over and greeted right away. Once tire warranty was confirmed online, the car was taken back and tire repaired - quick and courteous with all costs covered by the warranty, Thanks Mavis!

Kar Kare is what a business should be: local, friendly, honest, and fair. When I need tires or…read morebrakes, this is where I go. They work with customers to find the best deals, explain problems your car may have (and show you the problem), and get you on your way as quickly (but safely) as possible. The rapport between the owners and customer demonstrates the roots Kar Kare has in the community and the appreciation the owners have for their customers. For example, this morning I went in to get four new tires and brakes. I was in and out in just over and hour. I was treated fair and kindly. And all my questions were answered. Which brings up another positive - you never feel like you've asked a dumb question and are never talked down to by the folks at Kar Kare. They're just good people. On a side note: My grandfather, who passed away in 2010 at 93, thought highly of Kar Kare. He felt they were one of the few remaining businesses that treated people right. He took his cars there for years and trusted no one else. He often spoke of a time when he was about 90 and need air in his tires. He took his 2002 Taurus to Kar Kare, which was just down the road. The owner, Charlie, told him that the tires were dry-rotting. Charlie advised him to stay off the road and get four new tires. In his 80s my grandfather barely drove beyond 5 miles of home so the tires looked good, but were rotting inside. My grandfather told Charlie he needed to go home and get his checkbook. Charlie told my grandfather, a long-time customer, "That's not safe. Let's get the new tires on. Then you go home, get your checkbook, and come back to pay." That's exactly what happened. My grandfather was so touched that Charlie and Kar Kare were taking "such good care of an old man like me." For that act of kindness toward my grandfather, I'll always be a loyal Kar Kare customer as well.

The only place I'll get tires. Honest people and free…read morerotations when you purchase from them.

I noticed my front driver's side tire was looking dangerously low this am, so I hopped onto Yelp to…read morefind a reputable place to take it to be checked out. I live in downtown Columbia, and was apprehensive to go barreling down 26 with a soft tire, but had read such good things about Frank's that I decided to risk it. When I showed up, it was about 11.30 am and the place looked hoppin', so much so that I took what appeared to be one of the last free parking spots. Since I didn't have an appointment, I was afraid this would mean I would spend most of my afternoon waiting. When I walked in, I was immediately spoken to, and given a chance to explain my situation. The man I talked to was very polite, took my key and invited me to have a seat and wait while they checked it out. The waiting area had these neat flashy bench seats from some kind of old car. The lounge area was spacious, filled with reading material and even had a tv. I only got through about half of an episode of NCIS before the same nice man was tapping me on the shoulder and handing me back my keys. "It's all ready to go!" I was surprised at how quickly the problem had been assessed and solved. When I went to the register to pay, he smiled and motioned me on. "Don't worry about it." I stood there in total shock and said thanks, while he wished me a nice rest of the day. When I stepped outside, my car was waiting for me with a nice newly plumped tire. I hope the nice man at the front desk whose name I don't know (is it Frank?) reads this review and knows how much I appreciate his generosity. I just moved to the area, and I look forward to supporting this business for many years to come. Thanks so much for fixing my tire and making my day!

0 stars if that were possible. On October 28, 2025, I paid…read morenearly $1,200 for four "brand new" tires at this Mavis location. Less than 10 minutes after leaving, my rear driver's side tire had dropped to 7 PSI. I refilled it to drive back, but the store had already closed for the day. The next morning, the tire was completely flat. Fortunately, my stepfather suspected something was off and took my vehicle back to Mavis. What we found was absolutely unacceptable: * The "new" tires were actually used tires. * The technicians had failed to install the rubber seals, which caused the air to leak. * They broke my original Toyota sensor and replaced it with a cheap knockoff sensor to hide the issue from my vehicle's system. This is blatant deceptive and unethical business behavior. If my stepfather hadn't stepped in, I would have been driving on unsafe tires that I was told were brand new. Do not trust this shop -- especially if you are a woman. It's clear they thought they could take advantage of me, and I'm grateful we caught it before it caused a serious problem or a fatal car accident. Mavis should be held accountable for this type of fraudulent service. I'll be filing a complaint with corporate and the BBB to ensure no one else has to deal with this.
