I am very impressed with Karl and Anthony. Very straight forward, explained work that was done and gave me some things to keep an eye on. Price was excellent. I checked 10+ repair shops before I came across Konrad Automotive This by far was the best deal. I did not get that feeling like I was about to get taken.

Karl was great! Jiffy Lube told me that I needed to replace my brake pads at my last oil change and Karl told me the truth- my brake pads were fine. Will be taking my car back here in the future. Thanks Karl & co.!

Konrad Automotive is awesome. I talked to both Karl and Anthony and they were very honest, knowledgeable, and so great at fixing my car. Will be going here for all maintenance.

After dropping my car off, Karl keep me updated on any service needed and absolutely worked to perform the job at an affordable price. New to NC, they really care about their customers...from here on I'm taking all my vehicles to Konrad.

Konrad Automotive is the first shop I came to in Durham. Mr. Karl and his partner were very professional and provided excellent service. After initial inspection, Mr. Karl came back with not-so-good news: an alternator replacement and break fluid leaks. The estimated cost started at $1025, as he said he might run into more problems when he runs the brake line. One and a half day later, everything was done, and I was pleasantly surprised to know that I only owe him $950. I would highly recommend Konrad to anyone who needs their car fixed at a reasonable cost!

Konrad's is the best Auto Repair Shop in Durham/Chapel Hill. Karl and his guys do excellent work at reasonable price(s). Karl is super personable, smart and good at explaining what the options are for potential fixes. We take each of our cars to Karl and are grateful for his expertise, honesty and awesome service. If you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic, I highly recommend Konrad's.

I was referred to Konrad through the local discount tire for broken studs. They provided a great service and they made sure that I knew everything that there were doing to my car. Most importantly they made sure to get my approval before doing anything. After a few visits they are now my go to place for servicing my Volvo.

Karl and the whole team at Konrad Automotive are great. I agree with the previous reviews of Natalie H. and Will M. that the service offered here are outstanding. Karl gave me 2 choices to fix the problem with my car. One is a cheaper option but might take care of the problem and the other is to replace the parts needed and get brand new parts which would be more expensive. No national car repair chain would do this. The estimates that I got for fixing my car at 2 national car repair chains were 2 and 5 times higher than what I paid at Konrad. I found Konrad at the radio show "car talk" website and I am so fortunate to have checked there as well as yelp. I will never go anywhere else for servicing my car and I recommend that you don't waste your time and money by going anywhere else.

Karl is an absolutely OUTSTANDING mechanic. After working with him, you won't want to give anyone else your business. After inheriting a car with a lot of problems, he did a ton of repairs and gave me a greatly appreciated deal. Later, when the car needed a whole bunch of other repairs, rather than trying to make a fortune off me - when he totally could have - he instead told me what I didn't want to hear, but absolutely needed to hear, that it was time to trade it in. Another time I had an issue with my car on the morning of an important meeting. I rented a car to get to my meeting and Karl amazingly took care of everything after a quick phone call, including sending a tow truck to retrieve the car from my driveway, bringing it to his shop, and immediately setting to work on the repair. Who else can say that? Another time, while he did the repairs, he was kind enough to loan me his personal car. (I'm sure this isn't standard practice, but the type of person who would do this is the type of person anyone should want to entrust their car to.) Karl is consistently determined to find the simplest fix at the most reasonable price, and, above all, can always be counted on to be honest - something that can feel hard to come by for a young, single woman. When I wanted to consult with my dad about what was happening with my car, Karl patiently explained the situations to him over the phone. On another occasion, I referred a friend to him to have the timing belt done, and he charged her several hundred dollars less than what her mechanic had quoted her.
I have been to too many mechanics who charge a fee just to look at your car, and Karl never does that. In fact, when I purchased a new car, he kindly did an inspection free of charge. There are a ton of mechanics closer to my home, but driving to Konrad Automotive is well worth a 20 minute drive.
In sum, Karl is fantastic. In fact, he's so good, he doesn't even need to advertise. He is honest, reasonably priced, thorough, accessible, and a generally nice guy. What more could you need from a mechanic?

Recently had an oil leak that needed immediate attention, but was discovered at 4:45 on Friday afternoon. I, of course, thought it was the worst possible time to happen. I found Konrad's on Yelp, and he said I could bring it by whenever it was convenient. He worked with me on scheduling and had it back to me Monday by the end of the day. Great service, explains the issue thoroughly, and I will be returning when I need another repair.

Karl is now servicing my second SUV. He has always been friendly and professional. Work requires me to travel around the state. Karl has always taken this into consideration and consulted with me on what to fix and what to put off. His experience and knowledge of all makes and models was very valuable when it came time to purchase a new vehicle. My last vehicle was driving well at 250,000+ miles. Hated to give it up.
