For the same service, Hari’s charges much less than dealer. Their technicians are friendly, honest and knowledgeable. Great to have them in our community!

I love this place! I mistakenly booked an oil change online with a garage in Missouri with a similar name. When I arrived at Hari’s for my “10am appointment “ I quickly realized MY mistake. Robert said no problem, I have an available bay and I will get it done…. And he did. I was beyond grateful & gave them a big tip to buy themselves lunch!! Great team!!

Dropped my car off for an inspection at Hari’s, went to lunch and ran a couple errands. My car was ready when I returned. Shop is run very efficiently. This was my 2nd visit to Hari’s and I plan on using him for my future Mini needs!

Hari's does excellent work. They're professional, through and trust-worthy. I especially appreciate their patience when answering multiple questions and explaining mechanical issues in layman's terms. Highly recommend.

I have been dealing with Hari's Service Center for some time now. They have worked on a newer Ford as well as 2 older Volkswagens. I have been satisfied with their work and attitude. Never have to wait long for an appointment. The work has been done right the first time. "Robert" has been especially helpful and responsive.

Very friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Went for an insurance inspection and they took me without an appointment and completed the job quickly. Will bring my vehicle there next time it needs servicing.

I brought my pickup truck to Hari's for work in the last week of March, 2022, because the exhaust system was loud. Hari called me and told me that I needed two catalytic converters. I asked him about my muffler and he said it was good and did not need repair. I had used Hari for many things over the years so I trusted him. He referred to me as ‘brother’ in our conversations. I like supporting local businesses and he had always been nice. He asked me to pay for the catalytic converters up front because they were specialty order parts. I didn’t think anything of it at first and gladly paid the $2,180.60 on March 30 for just the two new catalytic converters. I grew hesitant after mulling over the job and brought in the truck to the Toyota dealer for an evaluation. They said my muffler was shot, it has a large hole in it, and I need some exhaust pipes. They never mentioned anything about catalytic converters. When I specifically asked about them, they said that did not need to replace any catalytic converters. They also told me that the resale value on used CCs is around $800 for each one. With this information I went to Hari on April first and asked for my money back. He refused to refund my money for parts I canceled and for work he did not perform. He insulted the dealership’s mechanics with crude language. Besides the Toyota dealer, I brought my truck to two different mechanics afterwards. One was a master mechanic at a mechanic school, and the second one was at a national car repair chain. Both of the mechanics diagnosed muffler failure, something that Hari did not mention, and neither one said anything about the need to replace any catalytic converters. Many months went by and Hari refused to return the money he took from me for changing catalytic converters that did not need replacement. I called him many times trying to get my money back. He would just yell at me, threaten to defame me on the internet, and he refused to do anything for months and months. It was not until November 26, 2022, just shy of 8 months after Hari diagnosed a completely fictitious problem that he returned my money. STAY AWAY from this evil man.

Hari and Robert maintained our 2003 Saab 9-3 convertible and 2004 Honda Odyssey for years. They ran well past 100,000 miles and recently sold easily at a fair price. They've also serviced our Toyota and rotated tires for the Tesla too. I recommend Hari's if you need your car serviced/repaired.

Hari is professional and works hard for his customers. Hari (and Robert) are honest and fair. He went out of his way to help on a repair of my wife s car. We appreciate the care he took to make the car right. We will bring all of our cars to Hari s. I trust them.

They are trustworthy and very capable mechanics. Ill definitely go there first if I have any car trouble, from now on. :)
