Honest, professional and quick. Just what I was looking for. Sam, the owner, is a good man and knows what he is doing.

We used to live in Vista and took all our cars to Sam for many years. We moved over 30 minutes away a few years ago, but still go back to Sam's repair shop for repairs and maintenance. Honest, more than fair, and experienced, Sam always does an amazing job. If your car needs many things done and you are evaluating the repair costs, he will make you a list of what you should have done immediately, what can wait for awhile (and tell you how long), and what you don't need to worry about. I won't go anywhere else for car repairs!

Great mechanic, amazing owners, and very kind and warming people overall! Helped with a used car inspection and had a lot of great pointers, and then got me up and running with a simple oil change once I bought the car. Feels like you're being looked out for and given a balanced perspective on what should/shouldn't be done at the given moment. There were a few things I was concerned about to maybe do at some point maintenance wise (air filters, etc.) but I felt like the owner gave me a good reason based on my current ones why I could wait an extra 10-20K miles, etc. Fair and honest!

Finally, an honest, highly skilled and extremely thorough mechanic. I was very impressed with Sam. He fixed my problems after other auto repair shops failed to do so and at a very fair price. I'll be trusting Sam for all my auto repair needs from now on. Thanks Sam, you were a God-send.

I've been going to Sam at Kar Kare Clinic since I moved to California. I read a positive review on Click and Clack's website and found that review, as glowing as it was, to be an understatement. Sam is an extremely knowledgeable and honest mechanic. It is so nice not having to second guess someone. I highly recommend him. Thank you Sam for you all your years of help on our cars!

Sam is great! He is honest to the point where he will try to convince you to sell your car before repair costs get too high. He has never had a problem diagnosing and fixing the problems my cars have had.

I have been going to Kar Kare Clinic for over 25 years. If we break down far away, we pay for the tow to take it to Sam. You will never find a more capable and honest mechanic anywhere. He has refused to fix my car in the past because the repair would cost more than the car is worth. He is all about service and getting his customers back on the road for the lowest price. He is all about service, in the Big Picture way.Services: Transmission, Exhaust, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Air conditioning, Oil change

Been my mechanic for over 25 years. Honest and extremely fair. Extended the life of my cars. I have always been able to count on Sam for repairs, assessments and referrals when needed.

This place is legit. Was recommended to this mechanic shop and I was not disappointed. Friendly service honesty and affordable pricing is all you can ask for in a mechanic. Thought that my brakes needed replacing, found out just needed a little tune up. Saved me hundreds of dollars.Thank you so much
