I had obtained an estimate from Joe before having him fix the problem. The actual amount of work actually needed was more extensive then previously thought but he did not charge me extra for the parts and work.

They have been in business for at least 8 years. The owner seems very knowledgeable and is willing to work with you. I thought that they did a very good job and the cost was not as bad as other places. I feel that they are honest. They fixed exactly what was wrong with the car and there we have had no problems. We will be going back to them if we have any problem with the car.
Description of Work: I took my son's car to Carmel Auto & Truck Service Center for auto work. There was an electrical problem with the head lights and they fixed it.

Things went fine. A friend dropped me off to pick up my car, and I heard a noise when I started driving away. I took it back 3 or 4 times until it was fixed. The final time, I sat inside the shop and waited, as it was going to take about 45 minutes. That's when I heard one of the employees mouth off (in my opinion) to Joe, the owner. The worker was frustrated that no one had gotten him earlier so he could have fixed the problem initially. While I appreciate his concern, it came off poorly. The adage about commending in public and critiquing in private still holds true for me.
Description of Work: I took my car in to have new brake pads installed. I'd been told in November at Carmel Auto & Diesel, my previous shop (now, sadly, closed) that I'd need them within a certain number of miles. My car, a Subaru Forester SUV, has about 64,000 miles on it. Joe, the owner of Carmel Auto & Truck, called and said I needed new brakes. We discussed it, and I agreed to the work. He said it's common to have to replace them at 60,000 miles.

Overall it was a good experience. The service I received was professional, courteous and reasonable in terms of cost.
Description of Work: I had a leak in an A/C line and as a result had no A/C. They pressurized the system, found the leak, replaced the line and pressurized the system again.

They are really great about explaining car problems and how to fix it. My car would mysteriously stop running if the temperatures would rise about 90 degrees. After a few visits to the shop, they figured it out. Would recommend.
Description of Work: Our family has used Carmel Auto for our auto repairs for years. They always do a great job and don't try to swindle you. The repair and replacement prices are reasonable. Would recommend especially for brake jobs, oil changes, overall car care.

They got me in the same day that I called and finished the work way ahead of schedule. Also, Joe checked my repairs for leaks and added some dye (just in case) for help with future work. Joe is extremely gracious and polite, and it was an excellent auto repair experience (one of my first since moving to Indy 4 years ago). I will be using this shop for any work that comes up in the future.

JOE ALWAYS DOES IT RIGHT AND AT A REASONABLE COST. HE EVEN SHOWED ME HOW TO DO A SIMPLE THERMOSTAT CHANGE MYSELF, GAVE ME THE PART #, AND TOLD ME WHERE TO BUY IT INSTEAD OF CHARGING ME TO DO IT HIMSELF. A VERY HONEST AND PERSONABLE PERSON, IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO DO BUSINESS WITH HIM. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE (AND HAVE) NEEDING A VEHICLE REPAIRED. HE DOESN'T MIND TAKING THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE REPAIR AND GIVE OPTIONS WHEN NEEDED EITHER.
Description of Work: VARIOUS CAR REPAIRS OVER LAST 9 YEARS. FROM OIL CHANGES AND BRAKE PADS TO GAS LEAKS, MUFFLERS, TO TRANSMISSION AND SUSPENSION ISSUES.

I WOULD RECOMMEND JOE TO ANY PERSON LOOKING TO HAVE WORK DONE ON THEIR CAR. JOE IS VERY FAIR AND EXPLAINS EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND WHAT ONES OPTIONS MAY BE. HE DOES EVERYTHING WITHIN HIS POWER TO SATISFY HIS CUSTOMER.
Description of Work: I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO JOE IN THE PAST AND HE HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH MY CAR. THIS LAST VISIT I HAD A WINTERIZATION CHECK AND NOTHING WAS NEEDED OTHER THAN TO TOP OFF MY ANTIFREEZE AND PLACE AIR IN MY TIRES. BECAUSE HE ENDED UP NOT HAVING TO DO ANY WORK TO PREPARE MY CAR FOR THE WINTER I WAS NOT CHARGED ANYTHING. MOST PLACES WILL CHARGE A FEE JUST TO CHECK YOUR CAR.
