Carlson Automotive is a very honest garage. They have high integrity, and always give an estimate before they do any work. They've always treated me with the highest respect and consideration. I give them the highest rating possible on this platform.

Why did you deny that you didn’t hit my sister’s car???? I was there with her to clean up her car the hours before putting it in your shop for a tire rotation and come back with her bumper almost falling off? You cheated a little girl.
