I have been taking my car here for the past couples years for routine maintenance. The woman who works the front desk is always kind, pleasant and informative of the work that is being done. If there is additional work that they come across, they call the same day and are able to provide the quotes. They are never pushy about getting additional work done but it is appreciated as I can pick the things I would like taken care of and they are able to adjust the quote as needed. I think they have a great team.

I have been going to Capitol Auto Care since 2011. Mike and Alecia have always been great with each car I have taken to them. They have taken care of 4 different cars for me and if I get another it will go there as well.

The rules for recertification of lights , brakes and smog emissions for salvaged cars have changed and few facilities have these State certs. I was in and out of there facility in less than an hour and the staff was excellent. I’ll come back and you should try them.

They were generous enough to immediately. Work on my van that, I need for work. Plus, they take the time to explain. What the repair will entail and the price. Rey

I buy auction cars and always have my wife brings them in for a brake and lamp inspection but recently one failed due to “inoperative side marker bulbs” I’m a mechanic myself but work from 9-5 and always make sure everything works before sending a car in. When I got off work I checked all bulbs they are operating just fine. I sent her in the next and I told her to not say anything and the car passes the next day. Definitely something shady going on in this shop if you don’t know anything about cars you will definitely get scammed. Last time we go here.

Reception was polite and professional. Brought it in for a Lamp and Brake inspection for $165. Failed the test and the parts took longer than 30 days to get so it's at full price to get a retest vs. $80 quoted. Called to get clarification on the failure and the owner Mike answered the phone, very rude and condescending. They also broke the trunk latch on my car when test driving. Don't know why they opened the trunk but when they pulled out of their drive on Story the lid was open and slammed down and back up in front of me as they drove down Story eastbound. We can get it tested for $140 no appointment required. Hard pass on the mechanical and customer service. If you like to overpay and a raised voice (some people are into that), this is your place. I love the reviews who say don't believe the reviews.

Owner kept screaming at his employees. I heard a lot of loud concerning banging on my car for an hour. Got charged to do a test when the car failed visual inspection for the test. Why still run the test before telling me it failed visual??? Wanted ~3x the cost to do some work from what I was charged by a reputable business. Charged a large fixed amount for a sketchy 1 minute quick fix. Not a lot of options for brake and lamp inspection, but I would still avoid this place.

Mike took such great care of my car & was very kind & thorough with explaining the services done to my car & future recommendations. Coming back for future services!

I recently posted a review on my more recent experience with capitol auto care. I owe a big apology and I would like to recend my last review that I feel may have had an impact on this business for the services rendered to myself and my family. The review I posted after careful reconsideration of how my situation was handled. I was given a thorough diagnosis, an in detail estimate and cost of repairs, I was given the option to go through with repairs that I did decline. I am satisfied with my service overall. Capitol auto care has always shown a level of professionalism that has surpassed any and all expectations that a customer would want from an auto care specialist. My family has been with capitol auto care for many years and has always been knowledgeable, reliable, and trustworthy business built on integrity. This review is three weeks overdue. My apologies.

I took my car for break and light inspection and they did pass my car for an stupid reason .I waste $145.the other place say they just wanted to charge me to return again and pay $80 more. Don't recommend at all.
Feb 07, 2023
Services was good. But they stole something. Is sad I think the owner Adolfo need To enforce this with his crew. You don’t expect this to happen They took my car air purifier and cable too.
Feb 07, 2023
