"Not so expert" mechanics

by HotRod1984 at Citysearch

Unless you are buying tires, I would not go here for automotive work. I have gone here for years, but the latest time I took my car in for a major tuneup of ~$400, and when I picked it up, I could not believe how bad it sounded and idled roughly. I turned around, went back, and they said yeah, "we think" one of the pistons is stuck, but "it should start working with more driving". I took it to a muffler shop right after, and Kovac had managed to break my exhaust back by the catalytic converter, causing part of the noise, and also broke part of the side panel below the passenger door, probably both from putting it up and down on the hydraulic lift because they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Anyway, I asked a mechanic friend to take a look, and 2 wires were crossed which he fixed in 10 minutes, eliminating the remaining noise and shake. Anyway, this is the end of my $$$ going to Kovac.

Kovac automotive repair shop in Davie, Florida

by CCHS Soccer at Citysearch

Never have taken the time to write a review but this place is worth it. If I would have taken my 2004 Sienna to the dealer (as I usually do) I would have surely left with new brakes and a hefty bill. To my shock, Rick explained to me that the occasional brake noise I am hearing is normal on an aging vehicle and I have about 20,000 more miles to go before I need work on them. This business is just what my neighbor who referred me said it was-very, very, honest. Thanks Rick; you have 2 new customers that will be seeing you for all our car repairs.

One and only tire shop for me...

I have been going to Kovac Automotive since 1993 and they continue to impress. I just feel very confident every time I call on these guys to fix my car that I will be treated promtly and courteously and most importantly that they seem to always resolve whatever car issue I have PROPERLY and at a REASONABLE price. That's pretty much what I think most of us are looking for in a repair shop so with that I highly recommend Kovac Goodyear Automotive. PS: Thanks Joe and Rick!!!

My Car Doctor

by Anna2010 at Citysearch

I am a car girl, and I have to tell you that this is the best place to have your car serviced and assessed for maximum performance...it is like dropping your vehicle to a day spa. They even have pick up and drop off valet services. The management and staff are very detailed and honest business people.

I have been going there for 5 years and would recommend it to everyone. The best car doctors in Broward!
