While driving home on the highway, my 2019 Toyota RAV4 suddenly shut down. I initially suspected it to be the alternator, but it turned out to be just a belt that needed replacing. Now, my car is running great! Thank you for your dependable service.

My 23 year old kid recently bought a used van and brought it to Burkmar for a safety inspection. The only issue the mechanic reported was that the van needed new brakes which he replaced to the tune of nearly $900. Three weeks later my kid took the van for a 2nd opinion and was told that the brake line is badly corroded and leaking, which could have put my kid in danger. I am dismayed at this careless oversight and even more dismayed that the mechanic denied any responsibility. He also somehow missed the fact that the head gasket is leaking and the check engine light was out on the dash. I cannot recommend this mechanic to anyone.

Impressed with the work and service. I brought my Toyota here for a difficult A/C repair and they got the job done right. They also went the extra mile and saved me several hundred dollars by replacing just the evaporator core when Toyota only sells the entire heater box. They found the right aftermarket part and got it done on budget. Definitely recommend.Service: A/C installation & repair

I brought my truck in two years ago when it wouldn't fire up. The guys at Burkmar told me I needed a new distributor, a $500 part, which I said to install.I recently took my truck into a different shop and they mentioned my engine was misfiring. I asked them to investigate and they said I needed a new distributor. You would expect a $500 part to last longer than two years.The shop also told me that a new distributor through them comes with a lifetime warranty. At Burkmar the part only came with a one year warranty. So now I am out another $600.I won't say whether to trust this shop or avoid them, but I figured I would share my experience and you can decide for yourself.Service: Engine repair

Honest, genuine father-and-son with skill in their craft, and integrity. As someone who honestly doesn’t know that much about cars, I felt cared for and safe here. I’ve been looking for a trustworthy auto shop and this is where I’ll be going.
