I've used Kars' for both investigative case work in aircraft accidents as well as sending my investigation students from the Southern California Safety Institute in our Aircraft Accident Investigation Course. I have used other labs for over 15 years and Kars' is the best with regard to service, price and value. I HIGHLY recommend. Staff is responsive and professional in all aspects.

KARS' ADVANCED MATERIALS INC provided exemplary service for my team. We utilized KARS' ADVANCED MATERIALS for several material composition analysis studies for a biocompatibility investigation that required the evaluation of 20+ medical device parts. The staff was meticulous and diligent when evaluating experimental data sets that allowed us to root source problematic materials.
In addition, the KARS' principal engineer held weekly status update meetings to go over data with my team. This service aspect proved to be a huge benefit. KARs providing us with real-time data allowed us to troubleshoot the problematic materials in an expedited manner. In this industry, it is difficult to find a consulting lab that provides integrated personal attention and communication while delivering data and test reports in a timely matter. Thank You, KARS' ADVANCED MATERIALS. I will definitely utilize your services again.

Kars Advanced Materials' staff has continued to provide utmost professionalism and demonstrate expertise in the field of failure analysis, forensics, and Materials. The Dr. Kars are true SMEs in their field that devote great amount of time to evaluate your case/job. They deliver quality work in a timely manner and produce reports with thorough findings and recommendations.
I personally know how much time and resources it requires for developing a detailed and quality study, but unfortunately many times it can be overlooked. Kars Lab, thank you for your services.

My company, Magnetic Sensors Corporation, has worked with Kars' for 2 - 3 years. We have used Kar's for x-rays primarily. They can do 2-D x-rays and 3-D x-rays; if one needs the detail. The x-rays we have received from Kar's, along with a failure analysis report, got us out of a pickle with our customer. The value and services they provide to us is highly recommended and we appreciate Kar's for their knowledge and professionalism.

I have known and retained the professional services of Dr. Naresh Kar and his brother Dr. Ramesh Kar for over 20 years. I have most recently retained Dr. Nikhil Kar to provide professional engineering services for my Public Agency. I have never seen or experienced anything but first-class, and professional services from all of the Kars. My Agency will continue to retain the professional services from Kars' Advanced Materials Laboratory.
