Picones is without a doubt, the BEST mechanic shop in the Wilmington area. My whole family uses them exclusively. They are honest, and stand by their work. Their prices are not cheap, but they are not super expensive, I feel like they charge a fair price for the work they do, and again they stand by their work.Mr. Picone and Thomas have done everything from tires and brakes to replacing a motor for me, and I have never had a problem with their work. The only downside is they are constantly busy, so it may take a little longer than other shops for your repair to be done. But there is a reason for that. They are the best. Point blank period.

Thomas and Tommy are want you want in mechanics. They were recommended by a friend who is a car enthusiast and the recommendation was on target.The took my old Tahoe that seemed to have 100 different problems and turned it into a safe reliable vehicle that I was able to give to my son with complete confidence. It took a while as they troubleshot the different issues but every step of the way their communication was excellent. That says a lot in this day and age.

Great people and prices very knowledgeable too

Awesome folks work here and do great work!!!

Awesome people to deal with and extremely knowledgeable. They literally saved us thousands. I wont go anywhere else. Thank you guys for keeping me on the road.

Got my truck in for an oil change very quick, always friendly.

Mr. Picone has been taking care of my husband and I for years. Very Professional, does great work. Im never disappointed.

Tommy is a great guy. If you need tires he will get them for you the next day at a great price. I highly recommend this place. Ive bought the last 5 sets of tires for both mine and my wifes cars here and couldnt be happier.

Very happy. They were fast and very reasonable to deal with. Explained everything and even checked other things to make sure they were okay.

The Picones are knowledgeable and fair. Thats a tough find! Love the fact that they worked with my schedule and were incredibly helpful. Definitely plan to return there for any future needs.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I had a job in Greenville and my car had a flat. They were the only ones open at 7:45am on Castle Hayne Rd. and they fixed my tire in 10 minutes!! Owner Thomas Picone was there and made sure it was done quickly so I could be on my way. Very reasonable price- definitely would go back! Great service!

Have brought my truck to Thomas the last two years. Does great work and very pleasant. Highly recommend.

Tommy is a stand up guy. Really gave me a great price and did a fantastic job on a timing belt replacement on my Acura TL. He worked with my schedule to ensure that I was able to drop my car off after hours and ensured that it was ready by the end of the next day. Great bunch of guys to do business with. Highly recommended.

This is the only place in Wilmington I go for tires. The prices are way better than the competition and the owner and mechanics are very friendly. I highly recommend them and make the extra drive just to go there. I live near UNCW so there are closer options, but these guys rock!

Great service and better people if your looking for honest and great work this is your place no doubt about it

I highly recommend this place. Years ago, when I had muffler problems with my older car, Tommy suggested I go somewhere else that would be less expensive. Ive been his customer ever since.

Always awesome!

LIARS AND CROOKS..... Lied to my face about calling me to tell me what was wrong with my car....did $25 worth of work and charged me $360. They dont know anything about cars and they are very rude and unhelpful liars.My car had overheating problems and they said it was the fan. They charged me for coolant and there was no coolant in the car and it started to overheat again. They lied about fixing my car....left my car dry so I would have to go back again and again. Didnt even test drive my vehicle and let me drive off with it messed up after taking all of my money!!!They are liars and they are very crooked . They lied about everything and ruined my car! I hope someone sues them for the thousands they have ripped people off for. WORST PLACE EVER!!!They overcharged me and didnt even fix my car! Lied about having a warranty on parts and said they would not help me again. I am very unhappy with this place and I hope someone sues them for all the cars they have ruined. I have never picked my car up from there without it having more issues. I will never go back again and I hope they are taken to court for all the wrong they do to their customers. I hate this place and the people. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place and I hope they all get in trouble for what they have done to everyones cars. DO NOT GO HERE unless you want to be lied to and overcharged.

My Jeep YJ was having issues finding gears. Took it to Picone on Friday morning, and they had it diagnosed (master cylinder was bad) and fixed within 4 hours. Their service is so outstanding they they delivered my Jeep to my house that is 40 miles away. Highly recommend Picone Automotive.

Amazing group of guys who went out of their way twice to get me back on the road!!!

The owner thomas picone is a great guy, has very fair prices, and its an awesome all around place to go

I had a nagging vibration and noise in my Nissan Frontier pickup truck at highway speeds, and had taken it into two other garages, that could not diagnose the problem. Tommy inspected it, and identified the problem, and had it fixed at a very reasonable price, all in one morning. He replaced the universal joints on the front axle, and it runs smooth as silk at highway speeds.

For about a year now my wife and I have been taking my vehicles to Tommy for regular service work (inspections, oil changes, a/c recharge, tire repair, shocks, etc) and I enjoy the personal and professional service that they provide.

Like Thomas, good mechanic and friend

Honest shop. Very accommodating.

I bought a new set of tires for my sons car at Picone Automotive. The prices were very competitive and the service was fast and friendly.

Good place for car repairs and State Inspection

Great price on tires

Great staff, great shop!

Excellent service

Great staff

Best shop in Wilmington!

This is the 3rd time I’ve had to go to them about my oil leaking in the past 6 months and they have charged me thousands of dollars and not done anything to actually fix the leak!!!
