Absolutely amazing mechanics! Super responsive and helpful. I’ve gone here for several years and can’t believe I haven’t written a review by now. I had an old car that had taken a real beating and had to see them a lot but they were always great. Just got a slightly newer used car and they’ve been no different in how they’ve dealt with it. The owners and staff seriously go above and beyond every time. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else in Raleigh.
Just had Kings go all the way through my 1999 Chevy 2500, and thanks to their attention over the years, its still in the road!This is hands-down, the most attentive, thorough, and reasonable shop Ive ever used . . .Cant recommend them enough.
Everyone at King’s is friendly and extremely knowledgeable about car care. Their work is high quality and a great value. Steve and Daniel have helped me make sure my family’s cars get the right care at the right time for years. I highly recommend King’s Automotive for car repairs and maintenance!
Very professional as well as nice. Gave me a couple of options and what to look out/expect for in the future. Very quick turn around! Will return for my next service!
I submitted my vehicle with a list of known (to me) maladies. KINGS found other issues, and conceptualized future vehicle performance based on whether or not suggested repairs were performed. Never was there any high-pressure to accept any repairs - KINGS is keen to educate. Their approach sounded very factual, unbiased, and devoid of agenda. Whether the customer is familiar with the inner workings of a vehicle, or can’t distinguish between a fuse box and flux capacitor - KINGS staffers will explain the situation in a manner clear to the car owner. I was very happy with KING’S bedside manner and servicing - and the subsequent performance of the repaired vehicle. I will definitely visit KINGS again when the need arises.
Told me the truth about my car even though I didn’t want to hear it. I love the honesty and they are really great people.
These guys are the best... Soon after my move to Raleigh, I went to Kings due to electrical issues and a recommendation from a Raleigh native. As a female from a family FULL of mechanics (all out-of-town), I know a little bit about car maintenance and upkeep, and Im always skeptical taking my vehicle somewhere for more than an oil change. Not only did they treat me with the upmost respect, but they were super transparent in their pricing, prompt with scheduling and service, and made me feel like I was a long-time customer and family friend. Having returned many times since, it is no surprise to me that they have been around as long as they have and came so highly recommended. They certainly have my business and recommendation!
Extraordinarily honest mechanic. Outstanding service, quality work, fair prices. Best mechanic in Raleigh IMO.
Kings does an excellent job at a fair price. I highly recommend it
Great shop to work with. My truck broke down in Raleigh when traveling from out of town. They got me fixed and ready to go in record time.
Great service as always. Did not want to spend a huge amount on an AC fix and they were able to make a minor repair to get me going. Low sales pressure and extremely honest. Been going to them for 25 years.
Great place. Customer service, pricing, location are all above expectations. Management is awesome, techs are awesome! Very friendly and quick service. Strongly recommend!
Very professional and very knowledgeable about hybrid engines. They performed maintenance related to the hybrid system that a previous mechanic had overlooked. When I asked about the high price of replacing the spark plugs, they explained the extent of labor required and I was satisfied with their explanation. Very reponsive.
Steve and his team were able to quickly determine source of noise/vibration and replace bad hub on my F-150. Service was great and price was fair.
They were great and super friendly. Will definitely be back.
Everything about the experience was good, the price was shocking. Dropped it off at 8 and I received a text getting me know it was ready around 1030-1045. Picked it up at 12. It is more expensive than the dealership for an oil change so if convenience justifies the means then $75 for a standard oil change may be worth it. I’ll find another option next time that eliminates the $30 labor fee. If you’ve got another item to work on I believe there’s coupons available on site if you spend over $100. I hear a rotation is extra so maybe with that included you may hit the minimum!
Kings was able to take care of an A/C problem within 24 hours of calling. Great service, very knowledgable and prompt.
I went to Kings Automotive for an oil change! They were prompt, friendly, and the pricing was fair. I was able to drop my car off with a key dropbox at night and pick it up the next evening. Once they had my car in the shop they let me know it was due for its 100k mile service. They detailed everything needed, and after looking around online, I came to the conclusion that their pricing for this was also within reason. Im new to the Raleigh area and will definitely be using them moving forward.
Great experience here! I wasnt charged for an inspection for a car that obviously wasnt a good fit to buy. The person who assisted me took the time to give me advice about car buying that I really appreciated. Will definitely be back!
I believe that Daniel, Steve, and crew provide the best car care and repair service in the Triangle. They have consistently provided my family and friends timely, excellent service at a fair price. From oil changes to engine replacement they can do it all!
We’ve been going to Kings for decades with all of our vehicles, and highly recommend them. Steve and the services are great!
King’s replaced my hybrid battery. They were professional and very nice. The service was quickly done and at a good price. I will recommend King’s to my friends.
I went to get my car inspected, got it done ASAP. Super friendly and professional. Thanks guys (:
Kings has provided service to my cars for many years. I recommend them to all my friends.2
I own a 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid with over 250,000 miles on it. King Auto is a specialist service provider for Hybrid systems and has addressed any issues with my car professionally and at a reasonable price. I feel like I get an honest assessment and guidance from their team and trust they have my best interests in mind at all times.
These guys are wonderful. They did a lot of work on my old cars over the years. Were straight forward and could have taken me on a ride with repairs but when it was time to stop they said so. They told me how much I had put in my car and told me i shouldt put anymore into it. How many places would tell you not to fix your car? It was time to let it go. I asked for tips on buying a new car and was given valuable advice. I cannot not say enough good things about these gentlemen.
I went in for some general repair and my 20-year old pickup seriously feels like brand new again. Running SO much better now... and for a very reasonable price. Great people too... very nice.
Honest, kind, very fast, yet thorough! There arent enough stars for this place! Their prices are AMAZING! I will never take my car anywhere else! I have a Prius hybrid which is notoriously expensive to fix, but Kings Auto saved me time and a lot of money!
Way cheaper than dealer without any of their bs @ Fred Anderson Toyota
I had my Toyota Prius towed into their shop and the staff was great and took care of the problem right away. I highly recommend Kings for honest and great service.
I had confidence in King’s for both skill and integrity pre-pandemic. Nothing has changed- still the same conscientious attention to detail now including Covid safety.So many services seem to be taking advantage of virus for raising rates erstwhile decreasing service. Not so for King’s.What a pleasure doing business with them!
Steve and Daniel have AWESOME customer service skills!!! They are the most honest and knowledgeable mechanics I have ever known. I recommend them to anyone without reservations!! They have been taking care of my family vehicles for over 10yrs. We dont take our cars anywhere else. Thanks guys!!! Keep up the good work.👌🏾😊
I brought my car in for the annual state inspection. I am usually wary of auto shops because, as a female who doesn’t know much about cars, I feel like I am easily taken advantage of and charged for unnecessary services. King’s was polite and prompt and I felt very comfortable bringing my car to them. Due to Covid, they are not allowing customers to wait on their cars, but I was able to drop my car off first thing in the morning and they called me before lunch to let me know it was ready to pick up. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family for any auto services!
Great people, great honest service.
Really honest, good people. Incredibly knowledgeable. Love this place. Wouldn’t take any of my cars anywhere else.
I was recommended through our Nextdoor app. The service, response time and customer service were exactly what I had read from neighbors...EXCELLENT!
Ive been bringing my car to Kings Auto for about 3 years now. Heres what I like:* If I drop my car off in the morning, I always get it back later the same day. So far I have never needed to wait more than 24 hours for service to be completed.* When the mechanics discover a problem (or find the cause of a problem that Ive reported), they call me to describe what theyve found before taking any further action. They patiently answer any questions I have, which makes me feel confident that theyre doing what needs to be done, and that they know how to do it.* Friendly service* Convenient locationAs for prices... I have no idea if Kings Auto is cheap or expensive because Ive never shopped around. If they charge a little more than the other guys in town, Id be fine with that, because I trust them completely.
The men I spoke to were polite and helpful.I liked getting a detailed text estimate of the services they thought were needed and I liked choosing which of them I wanted at this time.When my car was ready, I was texted with that information, too.Texting is an excellent form of communication for me.When we picked up my car, we left my daughter’s car to be serviced tomorrow.King’s was recommended to me by a friend and I am glad they did.
Honest, reliable, competent, timely, friendly, long-time local business that doesnt push unnecessary work - what more could you ask for?
I’ve been taking my vehicles to Kings for 30 years. They do great work, are totally honest and fair. I won’t take my vehicles anywhere else.
Great service, good value
These guys are great. I highly recommend!
Stephen, Daniel and everyone there are outstanding people: in their character because they are HONEST, their knowledgeable, professional and efficient. They accommodate as much as they can, they are thorough and take their time to answer any and all questions. We have been taking our Toyota’s and Subaru’s to them going on four years and our experience has only been consistent and we appreciate them so much! We hope they stay in business for many years to come. No doubt they will, because of their incredible work ethic and their five star service.
Steve was very helpful setting up appointment to fix 2005 Toyota. Look forward to next visit.😊
Kings Auto is always professional and extremely helpful in all aspects of auto service. I recommend them highly and without reservation.
Great place! We have been using them for years for our fleet of cars. A Company you can trust!
I brought in my Prius for a battery problem/replacement. I was impressed with the quality of service, how quickly they were able to complete the battery replacement, and the extremely reasonable price.
This is our go to shop for our corporate fleet. Always good work, honest, trustworthy and if they cant do it they will tell you who can. Have never had a problem with this crew. Highly recommend.
Excellent, friendly service as always. Best auto repair shop in Raleigh!
A fantastic business, in a crowded field -- my family has taken our vehicles to a few establishments over the years, and Kings is... king! Quick turnaround time, very detailed in giving the estimate, and altogether a professional experience. Highly recommend!
We’ve been going to King’s Auto for 10 years. They are The Best we’ve ever found! We had a persistent check engine light problem, and they persevered, even calling in industry experts to help diagnose the problem. We moved 35 miles away from Raleigh, but still come back to King’s. You won’t be disappointed!
I have been going to them for years. They are good, honest people.
Steve is a straight shooter. Honest. Always has my work van ready when i need it. I trust him with my Mustang too. Thanks guys!
Always thorough. Reasonable prices.
Honest, knowledgeable mechanics at a reasonable rate. I’ve found my mechanic shop in Raleigh. Highly recommend.
Took my pickup there to be diagnosed on a starting problem. Took a few days to catch the problem and they found it; fuel pump. Wss fixed FAST and up and going again. Thanks!
Great place for all your car needs. Highly recommended.
BETTER THAN THE DEALERSHIPI spoke with Isaac for the Scheduling of my 07’ Camry. Drop off was easy. Pick-up was ready during the approximate time. I spoke with Steve for what all was being maintained/ repaired. I found him to be very knowledgeable and HELPFUL . It truly felt like he had my best interest in mind. Especially during these times of social distancing both men were very professional and did there absolute best when providing services. They’ve earned my business for the foreseeable future.
As far as I can tell Kings is honest, has fair prices, and keeps the customers best interest at the forefront. Ive been back and forth a lot in the last couple of months for everything from an oil change to a blown head gasket. After the head gasket issue, they fixed a power steering leak without charging me. Ive given them about $3,000 this year, so I am grateful they helped me out when they could.Some people in my life found it suspicious that my car had an issue right after being fixed by them. But the power steering was unrelated to the head gasket. I never thought Kings was being shady or taking advantage of me.UPDATE 1+ YEAR LATER:My car is running great and has not had any issues in the past year.
My family has been going to Kings Auto for over 20+ years.... they are professional, timely & always tell you the truth about your vehicle. If a repair can wait, they will let you know so you can budget for the repair. Best mechanic shop around! Highly recommended them to anyone!!
Checked out new purchase of used vehicle. Was what I needed..
Daniel kept me up to date on needed repairs. Very honest and did not do unnecessary repairs.
Honest and good service. Will go back.
I would recommend King’s to anyone needing honest, competent care for your car. Being new to the area and not knowing which places are good or not, I was super impressed with the service at King’s. When we had the rare situation that the dealership had a cheaper part, King’s agreed to price match!!! That never happens! The employees talk to me (the wife) with respect even though I know zilch about cars. Overall highly recommend and they have found a customer for life!
King’s is great! Extremely fast turnaround on my truck. They let me know the problem was not as extensive as I thought. Very fairly priced repairs. Great service!
Over charged me on brakes
I use King’s for inspections and minor repairs (my car is not one they specialize in). The service is great. I enjoy working with them.
The service was outstanding!!Excellent!!!My first experience and will go back!!
Everyone I have dealt with at King’s is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I feel great knowing they are looking after my car. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mechanic!
My husband and I have been going to Kings for years, and they are amazing! They are extremely trustworthy in every way.
The fellow that ran the front desk was incredibly rude and unprofessional. I cannot speak to the quality of their repairs, but I would not consider them based upon my experience with the front of the shop.
Great folks. Excellent work. Trustworthy. Prices are on par with the market.
Mechanics are good or bad, these guys are 100% great. Honest, fair, competent. Save yourself a headache and try them out.
Completely trustworthy. Really cared about my car and took care of my concerns. Kings will be my new mechanic here in Raleigh. I couldnt be more grateful and pleased with their service!
King’s is the best, professional auto shop in Raleigh. I have been taking all my vehicles to King’s for 20 years. I highly recommend them for ALL your repair work!
Super picky about repair places. But I was rushed and did a quick google search and found King’s. The reviews are brought me here and will be what keeps me going back. Their service from the time they answered the phone till the time I picked it my car were amazing. They were honest and up front about everything. Great communication keeping me in the loop. Nothing but next level customer care and work.
Excellent customer service. Very polite and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place.
If I lived closer to here I’d get all my service done here! They are extremely honest, fair and really care about making sure everything works out for you and you aren’t wasting your time or money. Would recommend to anyone!
It is rare to find a mechanic that is so brutally honest that they help save your life and peace of mind. I have brought my previous car (2006 rav4) to Daniel for 3 years and he fixed many issues that other shops could not fix and quickly!The best moment was when the car needed a good bit of work and Daniel sat me down and said he cant in good faith let me put any more money into my car and to seriously consider buying a new car. Just bought the new car and can not thank Daniel enough for really having the customers best interest and not letting them shoot them selves in the foot. Looking forward to more preventive work with Kings in the future.Remember your auto is your freedom and you get what you pay for. Always been pleased with the result and it has been worth a slightly more to get top tier service
Great people and great service! Weve gone to Kings for vehicle inspections for many years but would not hesitate to call them for a mechanical assessment or repair.
Brought my car in for serious AC repairs. They finished a day ahead of schedule and quoted me less than a chain repair shop by a solid $500. The whole process was quick, easy, and honest-- Im very grateful!
Stephen and Daniel are excellent. Always great service.
Kings has provided me with excellent service for many years.
Excellent team, friendly and honest
Great staff that always fixes any issue my cars throw at them. Bit pricey at times, but you can expect quality work.
I enjoy the friendliness of the mechanic n the honesty of telling me what was wrong with my car..king is the place for all my auto needs thank u
Ive been going to Kings for the last 10 years and they are wonderful, honest people. Hard to find in the business these days. I trust them for all my car repair and maintenance needs. And, if they cant handle your situation, they give solid recommendations you can trust.
I was met outside to drop off my car (lobby currently closed due to social distancing requirements) and was given thorough information about maintenance recommendations. They also wiped down my credit card with a sanitizer before handing it back. Employees were wearing masks.
Super friendly place with great service. I will definitely be back!
Been using King’s for a couple of years now and always have had a good experience. Professional, fair, and friendly. Highly recommend!
Theyre honest and theyre competent. Thats about all you can ask for from a good auto service center. Ive been a customer for several years and have had no bad experiences. Thanks Steve and all the people at Kings Auto.
Went to get my car inspected, staff was friendly and I had my car back in no time!
Steve and the staff provided professional work in a timely manner.
Inspection: fast and on time!!
Took our car for an annual inspection. Dropped it off and picked it up less than an hour later. Can’t beat the price. Thanks
I can rely on the folks at King’s to give me an honest evaluation of any problem I have with my cars at a good price.
King’s takes great care of my car! We highly recommend going there.
King’s Auto Service has given me wonderful service each time I’ve visited them! They try very hard to deliver the best possible results and are extremely kind and helpful while doing so.
When my dear 2006 Civic broke down, I had it towed to Kings because they are near my house and were recommended by friends and neighbors (and because Tao Auto, also nearby, recently went out of business). Daniel explained it had a cracked engine block, which was an issue that was recalled or extended by the manufacturers warranty up to 150,000 miles. (Mine had 215,000 miles.) Daniel prepared an estimate to repair the engine block and other items previously on my list. Even though his total was beyond the value of the car, I considered it, since it should be cheaper in the long run than buying another car. That was, until Daniel mentioned the risk associated with this option. If anything were to happen to the car after repairs then Id simply be out luck because even the best insurance wouldnt pay more than its value. I greatly appreciated Daniels good points and objective opinion, despite his business profitability. Theres nothing worse than answering well the wrong question. Im looking forward to another car soon, and will be taking it to Daniel when needed...
King’s Auto is awesome! Steve and Dean are the best. They are honest and care about their customers. I have been coming to kings auto for many years.
