Kovac Automotive

Took my car in to get my HID headlight kit installed. Took a few hrs, but it was busy, and they were down a few guys. Once night fall came, I noticed that the bulb alignment was way off, so I called and brought it back the next day. I was a little apprehensive seing that it was daylight and tough to see the problem, even in the garage. But within 30min, they were perfect. All the wiring was neat and flawless. Very fair on the labor, and super honest.

My transmission is leaking all over. They sealed it for me for couple hundred bucks. I am more than happy to find this place. Good service s, reasonable prices.

My family has been coming here since the early 80’s, so I’ve been coming here for years. The last few times I’ve been coming, service has seemed to slip… a lot. I had finally had it when he tells me the reason why my car is taking so long is because they can’t find the part due to my car being «rare». I can assure you have a very popular car and for him to try to insult my intelligence was the last straw. He then tries to make excuses rather than apologize or even offer a service to make up for the entire ordeal. When I expressed my displeasure in a firm but professional way, he scoffed. I will not waste my time or hard earned money on a service that doesn’t respect their customers. There are a ton of other mechanics I can use that have been recommended by friends and peers… get over yourself Kovac Automotive.

I have used Kovac many times over the last few years for tires and basic maintenance on my vehicles. Four months ago, I took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation and told them to closely inspect all the tires because one felt out of balance at highway speed. They performed the service and told me that the tires just needed to be rebalanced, problem solved.
Last month, I brought my car in again for an oil change and tire rotation and again asked them to inspect the tires and ensure that all were properly balanced. I drive a lot, about 30k miles per year, so I am persistent with tire rotation and proper inflation and I notice when something doesn’t feel «right». The day after the service I called them to say one of the tires still doesn’t feel right, feels out of balance. They told me a tire weight may have fallen off and to bring it back to them when I could.
So now, three visits to Kovac for oil changes and tire rotations and finally to look at their previous work, each time with the same request, «closely inspect the tires and ensure that they are properly balanced and inflated». They tell me that the tires are fine, just had a weight fall off, and now should ride smooth as silk.
The next morning, on the highway, again with the shimmy and tire bounce, this time I take it to Arnst Motors in Pompano. They put it up on the rack and in less than two minutes call em over to see the problem; tread separation and a 2″ x 3″ section of tread missing from the inner third of the tire. A tire that could have suffered a catastrophic failure at any moment! i drive my family in this car! They are Goodyear Eagle LSC’s on a 2012 car with 31k miles.
It seems that Kovac was either too lazy to actually inspect the tires as requested, or chose to ignore the issue because they did not want to deal with warrantying the tire. I sincerely hope it was just laziness. Either way, I will not go back there and I highly suggest that those who continue to frequent this establishment pay careful attention to what they do and DON’T DO…

Wow… Customer service couldn’t be beat here.
I have needed to come 2 more times recently for a dead battery with a cracked something-​or-​other on the positive side of my battery, and for an oil change and «cleaning» of my AC system… and well The guys here are So nice! They take the time to explain things to you, are honest about what needs to be fixed, and are decently and competitively priced. What beats that?
Awesome. I’m sad I will be leaving florida soon, as I’ll need to find a place like this back home.
If you’re in need of anything on your car: oil change, tires servicing, AC, tune ups, whatever… COME HERE! :)
