Kar Masters

My daughter’s customer recommended that she bring her 2009 Honda Civic to Kar-​Masters to repair her front end after a fender-​bender. Ray fixed it for a great price and told her to please bring it back as he hadn’t had time to do a gratis oil change! When she need service, she went back and just loves him. When my service reminder light came on in my 2006 Honda indicating it was time for an oil change and transmission fluid change, Ray quoted a price for both that was the same as the dealer would charge for just the tranny fluid. He dropped me off at my daughter’s place and picked me up when he was finished with the car. He’s such a sweet man that you really want to give him your business.
Don’t let the youngsters on here fool you into thinking Ray is an old guy. He’s probably in his 60s, knows his way around a car, treats you with old school manners, and takes care of the problem. Romanian with crystal blue eyes, he will charm you with his manner and probably charm your car into behaving. He and his team know cars from bumper to bumper, tire to roof and will make your wheels look like a million bucks.

Angels are real! I have never met a man quite like Ray (the owner), who just finished working on my car after a hit-​and-​run incident. In addition to repairing what needed to be fixed due to the accident, he also took it upon himself to fix the alignment and the power steering, and Scraps (my car) is running better than ever. He did thousands of dollars’ worth of work for next to nothing, and didn’t charge me a cent more than his original quote, because he just wanted to help me out. I’m so grateful for the speedy work that he did, even more grateful that he did it for next to no money, but the most grateful that he just called me for no reason other than to thank ME for being a nice, honest person, and to tell me I have a friend in him and a mechanic for life. Can you believe that?! I teared up when he hugged me earlier today, but that call really made me cry. It solidifies in my mind what my mother always tells me, that everything happens for a reason. Please go see Ray at Kar Masters with your car troubles, because he’s a nice older man who won’t bullshit you, and WILL do great work.

Very professional and friendly staff. Amazing prices and great quality work. Ray is a wonderful shop owner.

A great little hole-​in-​the-​wall gem. Good work, quick and cheap, no swindle!

These guys always take care of me and my car. They are fair, kind, honest, and generous. They also get parts a lot faster than my old mechanic. I can’t recommend them more.

This review is overdue but I have to praise Kar Masters. I have own a few cars in the past 20 years, I have been going to Kar Master for my car maintenance and repair since 1998. The owner Ray is a great personable guy, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I always feeling confident that my car would be taken care of by him. The operation is top notch, and the best service for your money. They always take care of me, and the price compared to the other big guys are offering? They always have the cheapest deal. Love you RAY! These people deserve 6 stars.

I have been dealing with Karmasters for 18 years. my entire family has taken cars there at one time or another for different ailments… although we have had issues on and off, I have to say that I trust this garage and their honesty more than any other garage in this general area. I grew up in east hollywood and can tell you lots of stories about unscrupulous auto places… if there is a problem, I can always go back to Karmasters and work it out with them… the best approach is to be very explicit about what you want done and how… then there is no misunderstanding. they have always done work for me at a much lower cost than dealerships would charge…

I was looking for an affordable alternative to a dealer to get my brakes done, as well as trying to stay in my neighborhood. I don’t recommend this place because they did an ok job on my brakes– but only after I went back and had to really put the pressure on them after they didn’t do it right the first time. Brakes are pretty simple, so when I got my car back and they were screeching worse than before, I was upset. What pissed me off the worst was that when I went back to complain, the guy pretended to be deaf. We drove around the block a few times together, and I demonstrated the sound… and he said «I don’t hear anything, I don’t know what you are talking about.» My dead grandma coulda heard that screech, trust me. So eventually he took care of it, but not before talking down to me, staring at my body and generally making me feel like a dumb girl. The only reason I give two stars is because the other mechanic, not the owner, was a more respectful and sincere guy who did the fix job.

They got me out of a jam I could not get to my mechanic and even went to a neighbor to get me the part I needed to get me back on the road. kudos to service
