Marvin is great mechanic. His 20 year experience into car repair business brings great ability to quickly diagnose car issues. Whether it's car brake issue, alignment, tires, etc you will find yourself in great care with his repair shop. I have visited this repair shop multiple times now & fully satisfied with service I have received.
I highly recommend anyone looking for car brakes, alignment with low cost options for visit this car repair place.

Services sucks. At 8 AM, 1 technician told me to come back 3 hrs later. At 11, the 2nd tech said no one has a license to do the work. Wasted whole morning, and they don't seem to care. Never earn my business in the future

I needed brakes rotors as well as a couple other things. I took my car in late afternoon not aware that i needed an appointment as Marvin the owner is very busy. When i told him i needed it done that day he was kind enough to push my car through. Not only did he do an excellent job he did a couple things he noticed at no extra charge. When i picked my car up he had before and after pics of repairs showed me the old parts and explained in detail the work he had done. I am very impressed at his attenrion to detail and pride in a job well done. I will continue taking my car to Carefree and Marvin from now on. Quality of workmanship on top of honesty and integrity are arent easy to find. Im glad i found a mechanic who has all those qualities and more. Thank you so much.

Stop in to get a estimate, I ask him, knowing that I have a FIXD SCANNER, to see how much he would charge for scan. He had a very bad attitude, I thought he was having bad day.
He was closing and said it would cost 125.00
To scan come back Monday. Well later on I scanned it and it came up with a minor problem.
30.00 part. Scanner said labor and part 50 to 150. I call he and gave him a chance to make some business just to put it in he said 125.00
When I got there he had a bad attitude. I ignored it and said ok he said do you have the part angrily. I said can you order it. He got upset so I told him off. Went got the part. It took 5 minutes to put in. 1 screw pop it in. But if I didn’t
Have my FIXD scanner it would have cost 125.00 plus labor and parts. Very hard to find good mechanics especially with a friendly attitude. I give him a zero.

I’ve been taking my ‘07 Ford Ranger here for years. Marvin (owner and mechanic) is knowledgeable in his work, fair with his prices, and works diligently to ensure your vehicle is safely repaired.

That carefree smog did an excellent job on my son car. He has a 88 Honda Accord that didn't pass snog. My son and I spent over $300 somewhere else to get it fix and it still didn't pass smog. Finally I start to shop around and I came to Marlen Carefree Auto Repair & Smog I told him the car didn't pass smog and that we have already paid about $300. And it still didn't pass snog. He told me let me take a look at it. He look at my son's car he noticed a lot of things wrong with the car like the cord the belt timing was off and other stuff he told me it was going to cause couple of thousands dollars and I explain my situation to him and he listen to me and thanks to Carefree Auto Repair & Smog he save me a lot of money that from those thousands dollars that I was going to pay I end up paying few hundred bills. He work a lot on my son car and was able to fix and and pass the smog. If it wasn't for Marvin My son wouldn't have his first car up and running cause when he first bought it they ripped my son off but thanks to this good guy my son has his car and no problems at all ever since he fix it. I highly recommend carefree smog to anyone. My son and I are very pleased with the work he did and special the time he put to fix my son car. He knows he lost money but he was happy that he was able to help a widow single mother of 8 kids. Thank you carefree your my #1.

Marvin has been working on my Mercedes-Benz C300 4MATIC for the past year. I have gone to him for my 50,000 mile service, Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement, Oil filter replacement, All fluid level checks and corrections, Tire inflation check and correction, Cabin Dust/Combination, Filter Replacement, and Brake Fluid Exchange. He really cares about his work and it shows. After every service he takes the time to show me the old filters and oil, it's always a nice feeling to see that gunk out of your car. He is a genuine guy with fair pricing, I trust him with all my car work and will continue going to his shop! Great job Marvin!

Marvin is a top notch guy, he has done extensive work on my Nissan Truck and has her purring like a kitten every time. I don’t know where I would be without his advise and expertise. His prices are fair and he is honest about what your vehicle needs. Cannot recommend another shop more!
