My girlfriend had an odd electrical/motor issue causing her windows to not work properly. They saw her that day, quickly diagnosed the issue, then told her that since they couldn’t fix it they wouldn’t bill her for the time. Very professional people with good intentions, I plan on giving them my business from here on out.

Local small business with competitive pricing that beats the corporate chains. The mechanic is transparent and gives in depth details of problems.

They were able to see me the same morning I called, looked at the car quickly and gave me a diagnosis in grown up words that made me feel like I understood my choices. Everything was focused on my safety and keeping cost as reasonable as possible. I almost cried sitting in the waiting room. Someone cared about making sure my family was safe and that we weren’t taken advantage of.

I have been looking for a mechanic in the area that wouldnt up charge and could be trusted. The mechanic there was so friendly, went above and beyond to try and explain to me the ins and out of what he was doing and what I should watch out for. He even was open to taking the time to describe the details to my dad over the phone. Glad to have found them! I never post reviews but felt like it was a must this time!

Ive been using Choice Auto Care since I moved to Raleigh five years ago, and Don, Fred and the techs have been unfailingly helpful and kind. They helped me keep my old rustbucket running for a couple extra years. When I finally replaced it, they were almost as excited as I was. They have gone above and beyond many times, and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Don is truly a rare gem. An honest man who will do exactly what you need done and wont attempt to pressure you into unnecessary repairs. I will be returning to him whenever I need anything done even though I am moving out of the county, someone you can trust is hard to find and worth the extra travel time.

I sent a request for an appt on a Friday after 5 and got an email back within 10 minutes to confirm an 8am appt that Monday. (That’s rare and amazing). I went in Monday, received a call by noon with what was wrong with my car and the prices. My car was done by 3pm that same day. It was an alternator and belt change. I had to come back for one little thing to get fixed and it was fixed within 30 minutes. I dealt with Kit and he was more than accommodating and very friendly. I will return for services. Thank y’all so much for helping me!

First time customer, came in without an appointment today and was very impressed with how professional the technicians were. Many shops seem like the get the job done ASAP and move onto the next one type, but Choice Auto definitely takes the time to ensure your work is done well and then explains to you exactly what is going on. They even test drove my car before operating on it, and I know not every shop will do that. I appreciate you guys!

Took my well running truck in for an oil change and fuel filter replacement. They instead replaced a crankshaft postion sensor. Weird since I didnt have a check engine light on! Gave it back to me running horribly. They took it back after I complained then tried to say it wasnt anything they did. Had to take it to another mechanic to repair what they did wrong. Worst part is they wont even consider a refund and the owner Don wouldnt even call me, he had the mechanic call me after holding the truck for three days and several phone calls from me asking about an update. What terrible service. Wish they didnt come recommended!

Im writing this review before my work gets done this time! Ive had work done by these guys for years and on multiple vehicles. Like everyone else reviewing service has been top notch on all levels every single time. I didnt think twice...within one hour of my truck breaking down I had it loaded and dropped off at Choice simply because there is truly no need to consider any other mechanics. I can tell you ahead of time its going to be a five star experience with the most honest people youll come across!

Review №24

My experience at Choice Auto Care was the best I’ve had when it comes to car maintenance. They are incredibly friendly and truly care about customers. Prices are affordable and they are refreshingly honest. As a student driving a car for only a few more months, they told me about problems with my car but acknowledged what did not NEED to be fixed, which blew me away. They worked quickly and kept me in the loop. I would recommend their services to anyone!

These guys are AWESOME!!! My car was stolen and left damaged in a ditch. I asked him to check it over and just make sure it is safe. He was so HONEST and actually told me my car was pretty much fine, just needing an alignment and fluids. He could have easily tricked me, a single woman, but he was honest and did a great job! This is now my car repair shop and I recommend them to anyone! Thank you, thank you!! Single ladies..... this is your place :)

You can always expect courteous service. The estimates of the time it will take and what it will cost. These estimates are very accurate. There are no surprises. They will keep you informed if anything else is of concern. We are very happy with Choice Auto Care. They have worked on our cars for years and have kept them in great working order. 1car is 27 years old. The other is 20 years old and the youngest is 9 years old. We love them!

The fairest and best place you can take your vehicle for repair or maintenance. Don and his team are friendly, polite, and great at what they do. The customer service is second to none, and the waiting room is always clean and comfortable. After just a few visits, I couldnt imagine going anywhere else. Honest, fast, and great work at a good price - I would highly recommend.

These guys are 5 star for a reason. Brought my jeep in with a couple of issues, they were diagnosed quick, priced fairly, in on a Friday morning, out on a Friday night. I normally do my own repair work but am extremely happy I have a place I can rely on when I dont have the time or tools. Thanks Don and team, you earned a repeat customer and as many referrals as I can give.

I was referred to Choice Auto Care by Cottman Transmissions.To sum my customer service experience up: Don Scott and his staff are a trustworthy, professional, polite and customer service driven TEAM.I went to Choice Auto Care because my check engine light was on, immediately they were able to diagnose and fix the problem, for a very comfortable price. It feels like a family environment when you enter his establishment and repair shop.Even though it was my first time there I am very observant, I watched the customers come and go, I seen how personable they feel, Choice Auto Care has a relationship with customers build on Trust. All ages and nationalities were in for either a service or advice, as I sat there, I said to myself, I am in the right place.Being a woman it seems individuals are looking to take advantage of us or withhold necessary information when it comes to our vehicles, that has been a recent experience.I will continue to recommend, individuals in need of an automobile service as well as all my friends and family members to Choice Auto Care, and I truly believe they will not seek another Mechanic. Keep up the Excellent work Don, you are truly a Blessing. OKAY, I COULD NOT SUM IT UP!!!! It is all True!

Review №55

I brought my car in without an appointment and asked for an estimate to for a broken thermostat. The man at the counter gave me an estimate that was at least $100 cheaper than some other estimates I received. Once I decided, based on the estimate, to have them do the repair, the man told me that it would be 90 mins before a mechanic will take a look. So, I decided to wait. After about 30 minutes, I looked up and a mechanic was already pulling my car into the bay. After waiting about an hour for the repair, the mechanic came out and told me that he had repaired the problem and scanned for other problems and did not find any. Then, I went to the desk and I paid the exact amount as the estimate. I mean, they didnt try to add in anything. They stood by what the quoted and got the car done faster than they originally told me. I found my new shop.

Ive had nothing but problems with different auto shops throughout the area. I was skeptical of any shop in raleigh to be honest until I went here. Fair honest and extremely reasonable pricing. After multiple attempts to fix my front end at other shops, these guys fixed it in a matter of hours. Highly recommend this shop for anyone in the Raleigh area

Reliable. Trusted. Fair. The Choice Auto Care team bring those values to servicing your car.

Review №72

I got my A/C checked here. I didnt know much about A/C systems. They solved the problem of the air being too warm but could not tell me what the problem was. I prodded a little but quickly learned that I would not be getting any explanations (and eventually learned there was none to give because nothing had been diagnosed.) A few months later, my A/C started getting warm again. I took the car to another shop where they explained that no dye was in the refrigerant tank, which means the vehicle had not been checked for refrigerant leaks. They added the dye and told me to come back in 2 weeks so they can look for dye on the exterior of the tank, but they said they could hear a leak at the valve (whatever that is). Anyway, all evidence points to the conclusion that Choice did not do anything to diagnose my A/C problem, but simply replenished my refrigerant.
