Kwik Kar

Never go here ever!!! They will rip you off. They will not pass your vehicle inspection until you get other parts they sell really expensive. I made the mistake of bringing my truck here and they did not pass it until I bought that part. Then I was stupid enough to bring my new car there a month after and again they didn’t pass it until I bought a part. Save yourself the trouble and go to another vehicle inspection station. I will never go here again.

Quick, clean, and simple. Took my car here for a state inspection. Waited only 15 minutes in a nice waiting room. Super friendly staff. Run by people who are older and know what they’re doing, not a bunch of kids like many other places around here. They found a nail in my tire and took care of it in 1 minute. And, they won’t rip you off!

Took my friends car to have a blinker light replaced (I had already bought the light bulb) and they charged us $ 20 and took about 30 min. Then proceed to tell us that we need the inspection done even though the registration was current. Do not go there, they will rip you off.

Needed my state inspection completed and it was completed very quickly. In and out in less than 10 minutes!

Good quality work, bad customer service. I was not told a diagnostic test would cost anything when I talked to them on the phone. Even though I paid $ 90 an hour for labor (plus the cost for the parts), I was charged $ 40 for the diagnostic. While checking out I asked for the diagnostic to be removed and the guy said they «don’t work for free.» I dont think $ 90 an hour is anywhere close to working «for free». Don’t go here unless you have no other options.

These guys are simply retarded. I called and asked the manager how long it would take to do the state inspection on my motorcycle, they said there is no wait and it would only take about 5 minutes. I show up 15 minutes later and the same idiot tells me it will be over an hour wait!!! Last year I ran into the same stupidity with them but because they are the closest place to get an inspection I figured I would give them another shot.
If my car had 4 flat tires and the engine was on fire I would keep driving to a different place. These guys are morons.

I have an 8 year old E350 Mercedes that needed a door lock repair. Kwik Kar on Lemmon Ave has been recommended by several of my neighbors, so I decided to give them a try.
I stopped by on a Saturday morning and was warmly greeted. I told the tech that I needed an estimate on a repair. I was fairly certain the door lock actuator had to be replaced. About 5 minutes later, I am presented with quote — no hassle with very quick service. Randy, the owner, provided me with the final estimate and answered my questions. He also mentioned a diagnostic fee should I wish to make sure the part in question was needed for the repair.
I left happily, but in sheer shock, that I was provided with a written estimate because I had run into issues at other repair shops. The dealership, as well as one other independent euro repair shop, pretty much refused to provide me with an estimate without paying an unreasonable diagnostic fee (close to $ 200 clams) since they needed to look at the problem. Neither shop acted as if they wanted my business and had no interest in providing me with a quote even though I had done my homework and was fairly confident of the issue.
So… I returned home and sat on the estimate for a day still amazed it was so easy to get an estimate. I called on Mon to schedule the repair and Randy was very accommodating with a Wed appt. I dropped the car off and was told to expect it complete by the end of day. Jeff, the repair tech, called me to explain that the car may not be ready, but that he was doing his best to finish before closing. I told him not to worry about it and that I would pick it up the next day. Jeff promised the car would be ready the next day by lunchtime. I picked up the car with the repair complete. I am confident, based upon this great first experience, that if I had told Jeff I needed the car back before close of business that he would have completed the repair on time.
I did decide to have the diagnosis done just to make sure my suspicions were correct before authorizing the estimate. I felt comfortable as the cost was reasonable.
I have been in Dallas for 10 years and I am confident I have found the place for all my future car needs. I highly recommend you look past the age of the location and give Kwik Kar a try. I am extremely happy with the service, repair and price from beginning to end. I will be back when I have another issue. They have earned my trust and business.
Car repairs suck and I am not looking forward to the next time, but I do know that I will be a repeat customer and feel confident that Randy and his team will take care of me and my car. I was in a hurry when I picked up the car, so I never had a chance to thank Jeff or Randy in person so this review is my way of saying «Thanks guys». Please patronize this business. I do not think you will be disappointed!

Came in for an inspection sticker and oil change and so far it’s been a very easy and painless experience. They wrote my vehicle and as soon as I stepped out of the car and immediately started working on it it was about two other cars also we in here at the same time so they accommodated me very quickly. The tech explain the prices and anything else that I needed to know before you start the service on the vehicle time left going into the lobby with a full understanding of what was to be done and what I was going to be paying for.
So far I’m very impressed like I said and if I’m in need of getting the services done again and I’m off lemmon and I will definitely come back here.

Very good service, honest guys, fair price.

My transmission in my 2000 Suburban was slipping I took it in had a flush in 30 minutes it was finished. Drives like new. They use top of the line equipment chemicals and fluids. Fast very friendly organized and I am definitely coming back

Beware this place!!!‘Had a coolant leak and another oil leak as well as a window that didn’t operate properly. Was assured they could take care of everything. After several days, my car was ready and bill was over $ 2300. After 6 weeks started having same leaks again and window wasn’t working again. Went back and there was no warranty on anything previously done. They said all new issues and would be almost as much again to fix it all. Took it to a reputable shop and they fixed it all properly and more for less.
Will never go to Kwik Kar ever again!

Worst Experience ever for a simple State Inspection! After telling the technician exactly where to place my sticker, she over laps it over my defrosters on my windshield. Not only was she covering up part of the sticker by doing so but it was a sight for sore eyes. The placement is very important as it’s permanently in your view for a year. It should be properly placed by a professional and not half assed ruining your windshield. She didn’t even take the time to remove the sticky resido from the previous years sticker. Unprofessional! Goo be Gone, cost a couple bucks, invest in it! I should have read the reviews first. I would have never gone. When I tried to talk to the manager about replacing the sticker, he said I would have to buy a new one. Excuse me? Your employee made the error it should come out of their pocket. In the end I went to my regular no fail place close to my house and they kindly replaced the sticker no questions asked. I will never go to Kwik Kar on Lemmon or any of their other locations again! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR SUCH A SIMPLE TASK!

They are very quick, went in for oil change took about fifteen minutes. Be sure you know what oil you need before going in they will tell you you need the most expensive. Guy in lobby helped me out and told me not to get full synthetic it was not needed for my car. Still very high for regular oil change 42.95. Quick service but very unhonest.

I came to this location for an inspection this week and literally got there at 6:00, when they were closing. They still helped me! I was really shocked because they could have easily turned me away. They had me in and out in no time with no problems at all. Inspection costs $ 39.75, just for your info! I’ll be going back, that was great customer service!

I stopped by for my car inspection yesterday morning and was in and out within 10 minutes AND they didn’t try to upsell me on anything — thank you very much! Friendly staff, convenient location and no upsale… a winner in my book!

Been going to this location for years. Always had a great experience until this last time.
Recently had my oil changed and I had a run in with a man that identified himself as the owner no less than 4 times during our conversation. He told me to «not interrupt» him and talked to me like I was a child. I have never had an issue like this before, so I don’t know if he is a new owner or what. I do know that he is harming the Kwik Kar brand. I will never go to his store again or any Kwik Kar locations if that is the way customers are treated. His attitude made absolutely no sense. It’s shocking that an owner would run off customers… which are his bread and butter.
Stay away from this place.

Super fast service! I went in to get my inspection done and was in and out in about 15 minutes. It was Saturday around 2pm so not sure if that is just a good time to go or I just got lucky but it was nice to not have to wait long. The guys were also very friendly. A nice experience and next time I need an oil change I will be back here.

Wow, something has changed here since the last time I came back in 2011 for an inspection. It was all fine then.
Today, I went in for a simple oil change… and they make a dramatic sales ploy and try to get me to buy all this random crap I know I don’t need. Yeesh.
I drop my car off and go to the waiting room.
5 minutes later, a mechanic comes in and asks me to come out. I come out to my car and he’s taken my cabin air filter and VA220 air filter out and placed on top of my engine and then has 3 sheets of paper with a bunch of random fluid change suggestions ranging from $ 20-​$ 150. I think the total was near a grand… They were all recommendations yet he made it seem like it was do or die.
The air filters were somewhat black with some debris on them but nothing too horrible. So basically he makes it all seem like a HUGE ordeal. How my air filters are filthy and need exchanging. $ 50 for Cabin Air Filter and $ 25 for VA220 Air Filter.
Then goes on and on about how I need to change out all my fluids, brake, transmission, etc etc etc… totalling nearly $ 1,000… when I know for a fact my fluids are fine.
I was like ‘Wtf? I came in here for an oil change and you take shi* out of my car and give me all these random suggestions and quotes? What is this?‘
He got quiet and we went about my oil change. Is this how places are doing oil changes nowadays? My God… it was quite the sales ploy/​technique having the hood open, filters laid out everywhere looking dirty, mechanic with a packet of papers and dollar signs. Such a dramatic scene for what was supposed to be just a simple oil change.
If you go here for an oil change, don’t fall for the sales ploys. It’s like their scumbag way of selling you add-​ons you don’t need.
Won’t be coming back here again. There’s plenty of places that will change my oil for me without taking things out of my car and making a scene.

I needed an oil change about 1K miles ago… and then I drove from Jacksonville, FL to Dallas, TX, so I really needed an oil change. I tried one other place in Dallas prior to stopping here and was appalled at the price but decided that this was going to be the last stop no matter the price based on need and not having a ton of time.
I pulled up and was not greeted. I was blocking traffic and someone couldn’t get their vehicle out because of my location so I attempted to drive around the building just to get out. It was here someone finally greeted me. I am truly disgusted at the price of $ 42 for an oil change, they are baking on their convenience factor because even a dealership if cheaper than this.
I am sure the oil change is just fine, just overpriced. They didn’t try selling me anything else except for a tire rotation (which I know I needed and they probably did their math on how overdue I was for the oil change) for $ 20. I thought $ 20 was reasonably priced for a tire rotation but declined due to already giving them enough of my money for the day.
Overall the experience was subpar but highly based on getting a good deal, I feel a little robbed right now. On the up side they were quick, and the fact that my tire light is no longer on verifies that they actually put air in the tires. Unless I can’t find a Honda dealership in the next four months I don’t plan on returning and shocked that I read that they were reasonably priced in a review.

There are about a bagillion places to get your oil changed in and around this city. Kind of overwhelming if you ask me. Anyoils, driving down Lemmon I realized I was WAY past due on my oil change and low and behold I needed my inspection done as well. Oy.
So I drive past Kwik Kar and pull right in. A guy came over and I told him exactly what I was there for. He said he needed about 30 minutes and I’d be good to go.
I go inside the little waiting room and I’m not kidding, there are maybe 500 magazines in there. So I grabbed an O magazine and read on. Chairs aren’t the most comfy, but they’ll do. About 15 minutes later this worker came in and asked me to follow him out to my car where he proceeds to tell me ALL the work I should have done to my car. I really appreciate that they were looking at everything, but I really just came in for oil and inspection. I tell him this and he goes «ok well then just take this sheet and get the work done when you can.» Sweet dude. Thanks.
When my car was finished, not only did I get a new sticker and no more anxiety about getting my oil change but I got a FREE car wash to the place next door. WOOHOO!!! Nice guys, good place and honest. Word.
