a friend recommended Carl to us a few months back when i had some MAJOR car issues. My engine was COMPLETELY shot and he checked out the rest of my car to make sure it'd be worth replacing. It was and so he found me a used (but not as used as my original) engine and negotiated the price with the seller to keep my cost as low as possible. He definitely DIDN'T overcharge me and has continued to make sure my car is in the best shape possible. The staff is friendly and they have transportation available if you live close.
