Great mechanic for old cars that are hard to get serviced and well priced

Do you need a great honest mechanic...look no further!

Got oil change and inspection done in one spot fast service and nice people will be back

Always taken care of. Very professional and thorough! Recommended to anyone who needs auto work done!

Professional, quality and timely service. They found the problem right away and I was kept well informed throughout my cars repair. The price was right and I highly recommend this shop. Its also mom approved, shes the one who told me about this place. Theyve treated her right for years.

Loftins does great work at a fair price. The owner takes his time to explain the repairs needed. Each time I take my car in they do high quality work. I am completely satisfied with Loftins. I will continue to take my car to them and highly recommend them to anyone needing service or repairs on their vehicles.

This place is great. I went to Loftins Automotive for an oil change and a possibly a new oil plug. Was told by a previous shop that my oil plug threads were damaged and that I needed a new oil plug or my oil pan my be damage as well. I didnt want to go back to that previous shop b/c I felt like they were trying to deceive me and make extra money. Mr. Loftin change my oil and check the plug and nothing was wrong with my oil plug or oil pan. Fastest oil change ever and nothing was wrong with the bolt or plug. I definitely will visit his shop whenever I need an oil change or anything car related. Honest mechanic.

Great service and prices! His knowledge and willingness to share is worth more then 5 stars. Another star for his assistant! Pass name around!

Great experience, very straightforward and knowledgeable.

The team at Loftins Automotive is top notch! They have fast, knowledgeable service and they are the most honest mechanics around! They have been services both of our cars since the beginning of this year and I wont take them anywhere else!

I went to repair the brake of my car in Loftin’s Tire & Automotive Service. What I noticed in them is truly praiseworthy. They are easy and less costly than the another one in Gastonia,NC. I got reliable and credible work done. Good customer service and scheduling. Technicians are friendly and honest.

Tim does great work.

Go there!!! These are skilled and highly professional Auto repairer in Gastonia . They will give you the right solutions and services with the most reasonable price and time. They are very friendly and careful. They deserve A++

Checked them out based upon NextDoor recommendations. Tim shot straight with me about my service. Very fair price.

Great local find

I needed my brakes repaired so I went to Loftins tire and automotive service. They were the best price around and were able to take my car that day. My car was done in a few hours and my brakes work so much better now. Very happy with the people that worked on my car. I plan on taking it here from now on.

We were visiting the Belmont/Gastonia area from Indiana and on the morning of our planned departure our car was making an awful grinding noise. I pulled into Loftins randomly with no appointment and asked if he had time to put the car on the lift to see what we could see. Without blinking an eye, he had the car up on the lift and a few short minutes later the problem was solved and we were on our way with peace mind before hitting the interstate. If we lived in the area, Loftins would be our new auto shop. Thank you SO much!!!

GO HERE!!! I went to another auto repair shop and was VERY discouraged at the high prices...so, I went to Loftins tire and automotive and I am SO glad I did. They are very nice, super honest with you and a lot cheaper than anywhere I have gone to in the past. I highly recommend them for all auto repairs. The owner is so nice and makes your experience in dealing with your crappy car so much better!

I have been going to Loftins forever and always had great experiences. They are quick, fair and honest.

Great as always

A Family Atmosphere With Kindness, I Was There For A State Inspection! I Didnt Have To Wait Longer Than 15 Mintues!

Bennie and Tim are excellent and friendly automotive mechanics. When we had older cars, we always took them here for repairs. With our newer cars, we go here for their annual inspections.

IT HAS BEEN 20 YEARS (7/4/99) SINCE I MOVED BACK HOME TO WORK WITH MY DAD !! I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS FOR KEEPING US GOING SOO LONG AND ALSO TO OUR NEW CUSTOMERS FOR HELPING US GROW !!!!

RESPONSE TO TIM - ORIGINAL POST BELOWI never said it was in the last week... Thats the posting date. Not the time at which it happened. The fact that you would get on here and personally attack someone shows your degree of professionalism and is yet another reason why I suggest no one take there car to Loftins. The reason for the negative reviews is to prevent people who dont know any better from getting robbed by people like you. They pay for perfectly good parts to be replaced because a shop doesnt know what is wrong and is just guessing at the problem. When I take it to a certified mechanic and pay them close to $600, I dont expect to leave with the same problem I came in with.First off the car isnt a hack job. The birds nest wiring you are referring to was a universal 02 sensor from Advanced. (which you replaced with another spliced/universal/birds nest o2 sensor) I told you that the reason there car wasnt going into closed loop was because of the post cat o2 sensor but I guess you didnt listen to that. Being a mechanic you should have known that in the first place. You told me the thermostat was preventing it from going into closed loop before you even replaced the o2 sensor which you KNEW was preventing the computer from reading correctly. You didnt diagnose he car in one minute. It took you a week just to look at it after I had called twice to check on the progress. I told you exactly what was done to the car and what I had tried to do to fix it. You still assured me that you could fix it. Bottom line is you took $575 when you told me you could fix the car... AND YOU DIDNT FIX THE CAR, and then you didnt even want to talk to me when I tried to comeback and see if we could at least figure something out. You took my money and ran!As for your personal attacks. I worked as a tech at Sears and did more in depth work on the side. None of which was electrical, which is why you had the car!You call me a ricer/wanna be Fast and Furious kid yet you drive a Subaru (A VERY SIMILAR CAR TO MINE) that is modifie. Which I might add, you didnt have the know how modify yourself. You told me how you took it to another shop to have them install the parts for you. There are high school kids putting the same parts on their cars all by themselves yet Tim Loftin who owns a garage cant do his himself. Then you proceeded to brag about how you kept getting pulled over by the cops and how many tickets you had gotten like you were a cool 16 year old boy.If your looking for a fast, careless 10 min oil change Tim is obviously your man! Anything more in depth than that...be prepared to pay him to throw parts at it and pray that it gets fixed!I would however recommend B & W in Belmont. Theyve treated my mother right for years and have always quoted, what I consider, a very fair price. Anytime they do work, the car is started on and finished that day. (even in depth work)ORIGINAL POSTDropped my car off describing the problem. The owner, Tim, assured me they could fix it. After charging me $575 for a thermostat and an O2 sensor (would have been a $300 repair anywhere else) he assured me the car was fixed. I picked the car up at closing time, drove the car and the problem was still there. I didnt have time off work to go back up to the shop until two weeks later so I parked it. I took a day off and went back to Tim. He said that he would replace anything I told him but that was all he would do. He basically told me that he didnt know what to do to fix it. He now has my $575 and I still have a broken car. I guess if you want an oil change then Loftons is fine, but as far as diagnosis and standing behind their work... They earned every bit of this one star rating.

I was in the Loftins auto shop when Mr.Griffin came in with his mr2.Tim brought the car in and looked it over with Mr. griffin. He (Tim) told Mr. Griffin that he had rather not get involved with the vehicle because of the work the MR. Griffin had already performed, swapping an engine and transaxle from a front wheel drive celica to the mid engine rear wheel drive mr2. Tim expressed concerns with the tight fit and placement of different sensors and components. Mr. Griffin wanted Tim to address an issue with the 02 sensors, because of the engine swap the original wiring harness wouldnt reach. Mr. Griffin wanted Tim to make a repair that he (Mr. Griffin) had read on an internet forum. Tim warned that it was just a bandaid Mr. Griffin was persistent that the repairs be made. Tim made it clear throughout this whole process that any repairs would be bandaid repairs because the engine, computer, and wiring of the car were not meant to work together. Tim Loftin is as direct and clear cut as possible with his parts and repair policies they are posted in the lobby and in the shop and very clearly worded. There is no question that you will receive nothing less than exactly what you ask from Loftins automotive.

Been bringing my 2006 honda accord here forever. Wouldnt go anywhere else!!!

Have used Tims service since 2008. Quick and efficient.
