I went to another place to have my radiator replaced, but my car was still making a strange noise after. Really great guys.My trouble started with a leaky radiator, which AAA wanted to charge me nearly $1000 to replace (among other problems they said they found with my car). Also, from my first visit, Karl and his team treated me like a regular. Karl Konrad is not only a good mechanic, but hes also honest and not in the business of ripping people off. This is the only car repair place in Durham that I will ever trust with my car. Im half tempted the next time I have a problem having my car towed there from Raleigh. Long story short? If youre having car trouble, take your car to Konrads.

Its also always a pleasure to chill out with pepper the black lab while youre in the waiting room. Theyre always very courteous, professional, and kind. Anthony had it back to me with a solid price of $155.00 because he was able to diagnose what the problem really was rather than try to swindle me for my money. Hendricks quoted me at $1400.00 for diagnostic, labor, and parts. That can be kind of stressful, especially since it was a quick fix, But its so worth it as far as price is concerned. I do wish they were open on the weekends. I got to Konrads an hour before they closed and they took the car and had it back to me in tip top shape before noon Monday morning because they new I would be moving the next day. My engine light came on on a Friday and all I can think about is that the Tuesday coming up Im moving to Raleigh. Im originally from New Jersey and I was afraid when I moved down here I wouldnt be able to find the kind of mechanic I have with Konrad Automotive. He gives you a reasonable time frame and they are always willing to work with you as far as scheduling and getting the job done. Anthony explains everything he is going to do with the car. I am new to the area and after having not one but two separate issues with my 2012 Chevy Cruze Lt I both times I brought my car to Konrad Automotive and have to say I am extremely impressed with the professionalism and efficiency at which this shop is run. And I did not get my money back for the last towing when my car shut off. But two days later the service engine light pops right back on and it is driving rough just as before.

Money was spent for towing and the first repair which and to have to spend more money for another towing and then nothing can be done.*UPDATE *So the owner stated he would work on my car. Again I have the car towed back to Konrads and they stated now that they pretty much replaced the starter and that didnt work and I need to take my car to a dealership. So the police had to sit there to keep cars from hitting my car. So I thought the car was fixed got it back the next day and the following morning driving home with my son it cut off completely while I was driving. 08/24 had my car towed to them because it was driving rough like it wanted to cut off. I sent my car to them because the dealership that I got my car from said that if anything went wrong with the car to send it to Konrads.
