I got a 514 - 130/125/131/128 and was wondering if I should retake since my CARS is so low. Is it worth risking this to improve CARS if it's possible my score could be lower than 514 overall the second time? I've heard CARS is very important

No. I would not retake, this will get you into medical school somewhere...even if it may not be your top choice a 514 is a great score. A lot of adcom members will look upon retakes as poor decision making when a first take is good.
Take your score and run with it

That's what I've been gathering from asking around. Med school is med school right?
 
Are you in Canada? Then maybe-we have high cutoffs for VR/CARS. But US, then no
