Hon Div of Car-Isma Motors

Very honest people and only fix what is necessary! On our 07 Civic the wipers would not turn off when switch was turned off. Dealer said we needed a whole new wiper motor for $ 400. Car-​isma simply fixed it by replacing a switch on the motor for $ 125. I will be back.

I have been a customer and driving Hondas for over 15 years and always take my cars here for repairs. The prices are fair and reasonable and they always do their best to accommodate your schedule for an appointment. Since it is a smaller operation, appointments are very helpful as they are busy. I have recommended Carisma to others and they have also passed on a good word. It is a bit of a drive for me to go there but it is worth my time and the trust I have in their work/​service.

Used to like these guys — been going there for about 4 year and then something happened over there. They charge waaaay too much!!! (I’ve called around for new tires, brake work and the latest being one of those annoying regular maintenance minder.)
I don’t mind paying a little extra for a local, small business. But I do mind getting treated poorly and being ripped off. The guy who is the office area is rude and not very helpful. He told me to look in my owners manual to find out what the maintenance code meant! What a jerk — I wanted to know what work was really needed.
They quoted me over $ 500 for routine «inspection» stuff and to replace a water pump that was in no way in need of replacing.
This place has made me feel, once again, that as a woman unscrupulous mechanics are waiting to advantage fo even regular customers.
Bottom line: Carisma is not trust-​worthy — shop around!

I agree with the first reviewer. It’s nice to have an independent mechanic to maintain our two Hondas (2001 Accord and 2002 Odyssey).
I’ve had some unexpected repairs, but the father (Ken) and son (Dan) team run a good operation. They talk to you straight and don’t suggest work that does not seems out of the ordinary.
I’ve told them, if I end up buyings Hondas in the future, having them around to help with maintenance is a primary factor in the decision.

I just moved to town, and on context I have a great independent mechanic back down south in Oklahoma — honda guy — and I have a 97 CRV. It’s an old but reliable car. After going to David Hobbs dealership up here in Glendale and getting an outrageous estimate on some minor repairs (they quoted something like 3,500 dollars — more than my car is worth and charged me 150 for the diagnosis without actually fixing anything) and then getting all those things fixed in Oklahoma for 43 dollars, I became worried that sane and professional Honda repair was gonna have to be a drive to the dealerships in Madison. Well, I am here to report that such extremes need not be taken. Get thee to Car-​Isma a few miles north of town, where they quickly diagnosed the latest head-​scratching problem with my gear shift, etc. and nailed it down at very reasonable and normal (for an Okie) rates. I think I walked out of there today 30 bucks lighter, most of it in parts /​fuses, and it took about 30 minutes. They do vehicle maintenance to factory specifications, so I plan to skip all dealers in the area and just go to them, as well.
Reasonable and professional Honda repair. This is my new area go-​to.

Extremely disappointed in the service at Carisma. Took my Honda in for an oil leak and after assessing the car they quoted me $ 272.00. After the repairs the car was still leaking oil. Went back to Carisma and they quoted me $ 150.00. (2 hours of labor and a part that is $ 9.00) The leak should have been fixed the first time around. Either they didn’t assess the damage correctly or they did a sloppy job. I will never to do service here again.
