Professional Air-Conditioning and Engine Service
by hamoody1 at Citysearch
The air-conditioner of my 1996 Mercury Sable went out in the summer's 100-degree temperatures. The dealer told me he could not get new parts for it, and he did not want to fix it with used parts. I searched and found Carter's on North Lamar and took the car in for an estimate. They were able to find used p[arts easily, and fixed the air-conditioning and an oil leak right away for a reasonable price. I was very happy with the results and would recommend this shop to anyone in a similar predicament.
Honest, reliable, knowledgeable car repair
by Stephen Kirkham at Citysearch
I have been taking my vehicles to Carter's North for almost three years now, and I can't recommend them highly enough.
I drive an old 1986 Toyota Van for work. It's a very odd vehicle that requires a mechanic with attention to detail and the ability to troubleshoot difficult problems. In many cases, I've had to do repairs myself in the past, since I was unable to find a mechanic willing to go the extra mile in keeping the vehicle running for me. Since I rely on the van to produce my income, I can't afford to monkey around with substandard repair work. It wasn't until I moved into this neighborhood and found Carter's that I was able to relieve myself of the burden of doing repairs myself.
There's not enough room here for me to list all of the incidents over the past three years in which Mike, Jake, and the rest of the guys at Carter's have done a fantastic job for me in troubleshooting difficult problems, being straight and reasonable with me about the costs involved, and gone the extra mile in finding parts for a vehicle that can often be really tough to find parts for. I'm not necessarily an easy customer, since I want to know exactly what's going on and have all related costs explained to me in a way that makes sense, and I really appreciate that Mike and Jake are always willing to take the time to do that for me.
Recently, I bought a new (used) vehicle for personal use, and the guys at Carter's again went the extra mile for me, taking a look at vehicles I was considering and giving me the real scoop on whether or not the vehicle would be a good buy. I went with the car that they vouched for, and have been very happy I did.
Whether it's keeping my old high-mileage work vehicle running reliably and smoothly (and exceeding most peoples' expectations for longevity) or helping me out with my most recent vehicle and its purchase, I couldn't be happier with the service I get at Carter's. These guys are a good old-fashioned neighborhood car repair shop. If you want personal service and accountability from a mechanic, look no further than Carter's North.
Great Transmission Shop
by Ashley Neely at Citysearch
I took my truck to another shop who quoted me a high price with repairs that did not need to be fixed. Carters Transmission helped me out saving me money and my transmission works great! Thanks Mike :)
Great, honest, outstanding service. A place with integrity.

I can't say enough good things about this business. I took my car as a last ditch effort to have the AC repaired after two other garages were unable to fix it. Carters worked for several days trying to find the problem. When they initially told me that they had improved the AC, but not made it perfect, they said they would not even charge me for the parts and several days of labor they had into the job. I asked them to keep working on it, and when they tried something no one else had, they fixed it! I am so impressed at their integrity and business practices. Great place to service your car. No one else was able to fix my problem--but they did, and were willing to stand by the quality of their work.
