Exceptional Service - Truly Above and Beyond at the Darlington Location!…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about DunRite Automotive & Transmission in Darlington, and especially Rodney Howell. Experiences like this are rare these days, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found them. When I recently had my oil changed, the technician mentioned that my 2003 Toyota Highlander appeared to have a transmission fluid leak. Wanting to get it checked quickly, I searched online and saw that DunRite had some of the best reviews in the area. That's what led me to the Darlington location, and after my experience I can absolutely see why they are so highly rated. I called the shop and spoke with Rodney Howell, who was immediately friendly, professional, and helpful. He quickly scheduled me for service, and when I arrived, he was just as pleasant in person as he was on the phone. What truly impressed me was the transparency and thoroughness of their inspection. The Darlington team performed a full inspection of my vehicle, and Rodney emailed me detailed pictures showing exactly what their technician found. Instead of simply telling me what needed repair, they showed me the issues clearly, which gave me complete confidence in their assessment. In addition to the transmission leak, they identified two other significant issues that needed attention. Rodney walked me through everything, gave me a fair ballpark estimate, and explained that once the parts arrived my vehicle would be next in line for service. Throughout the entire process, Rodney kept me informed every step of the way. His communication was outstanding -- something that is unfortunately rare in the automotive world. When the repairs were completed, Rodney personally called me with great news: the final cost came in significantly lower than the original estimate. That kind of honesty and integrity says a lot about the Darlington team. But the story doesn't even end there. When I arrived to pick up my Highlander, the vehicle I drove to the shop had a huge metal rod stuck in the tire. I honestly didn't know what I was going to do. Without hesitation, Rodney took the vehicle into the shop and fixed the tire for me right then and there -- no charge, no questions asked. I was completely blown away. In all my years dealing with automotive shops, I have never experienced this level of kindness, professionalism, and customer care. Rodney treated me with such respect and genuine concern, and it's clear he takes incredible pride in helping people and representing the Darlington DunRite location well. Businesses succeed because of people like Rodney Howell. I have no doubt that he brings countless repeat customers to the Darlington shop simply because of the way he treats people. If you are looking for honest, skilled, transparent, and truly caring automotive service, I highly recommend DunRite Automotive & Transmission in Darlington. And if you have the chance to work with Rodney Howell, consider yourself very lucky. Thank you Rodney -- your service was absolutely outstanding and you are the BEST! Rachelle Stewart

The first 2 could not help me because they didn't work on diesels. Carolina custom trucks evaluated my problem and said they could fix it. I need a tow from my hotel. With in 5 min the tow truck operator contacted me and dispatched a truck to me. When I arrived at CCT they immediately started to check my vehicle. They contacted technet and with in an hour they had the new part and were installing it. I have never been this impressed with an automotive service business as I have been with these guys. Their facility was state of the art, With all, up to day equipment. The work bays were clean the staff were extremely professional and polite. I recommend them for any type of truck or automotive service and repair. These people are the professionals. I found out later the men and women I dealt with were all family. For all repairs And Service give these people a shot! I don't think you will be disappointed.

He'd been my dad's…read moremechanic for years before he even had a shop in town, and has done all of the work on every car I've owned until I moved to Georgia. He replaced the engine in my first car, a Mitsubishi Galant that I drove into the ground. I didn't take care of it & didn't care to learn about how I should take care of my cars (I was 17 and stupid). When the computers malfunctioned and he took a look at it, he gained 100% of my business whenever possible because he told me he could fix it, but I'd be better off if I didn't pay him to & used that money to get a new car. He refused business because he's ethical & understands how much trust goes into him being the person people want to make sure they have a safe & reliable car. I've never looked back, and I've told everyone I know in town to go to him - and as long as he's there, I'll keep sending people his way. Oh - and in case anyone is wondering, I take much better care of my car now. I learned my lesson!

However I thought that was strange and told them I had that done 50,000 miles ago. They did they change! After I paid $1000+ for this rip off!

I feel they ripped me off because I was a woman! And they did not feel any remorse for making the wrong Repair.

I took my car here to have an oil pan gasket put on. In checking out the car the mechanic (Chris)…read more also found a valve cover gasket leak, a couple of coil wires loose and a sensor that was bad which he didn't notify me of until the work was finished. The cost of the work was $560. When I drove the car to work it ran ok but driving home the engine started "skipping" and I wasn't sure I would make it home. I took the car back "after hours" and left it and then called to leave a message about the problem. When Chris returned my call and I explained the problem he said he wouldn't have time to look at it until "next week." This was on a Friday morning. Chris became very defensive and cursed at me on the phone. I took the car to another shop and they found one of the coils was bad due to a Chris's error in spraying cleaner on the coils which caused it to malfunction. This could have been a simple fix if he had been kind enough to quickly check out the work he had done when I dropped the car off the second time. He obviously knew he had damaged the coil and didn't want to fix it. I had to take the car to another shop for repair which cost another $120. This place will cost you more money for what they mess up and they are EXTREMELY rude!!!

I live in Raleigh, NC. The car died about an hour south of Florence. I had it towed to Woodards after the BMW dealer sat on it for over a week and took no action.

I took my 2014 Mercedes-Benz ML350 here for what the shop described as a "Tune-Up / 6 Cylinder…read morePremium." Based on that wording, I expected a full tune-up service -- but the only work actually performed was: * replacement of 6 spark plugs * adding a bottle of fuel-injector cleaner No coils were replaced and no injectors were removed or serviced. The invoice shows $590.65 in labor under a vague "tune-up" line item, with no hourly rate and no labor hours listed. On a previous invoice from this same shop, their labor rate was clearly listed as $120/hour, and the amount billed on this job does not reasonably add up based on the limited work performed. After checking labor guides and comparison pricing, this charge appears well above normal independent-shop rates, especially given that the "tune-up" label did not reflect a full tune-up. I paid the invoice, but I will not return -- and I strongly recommend asking for: * a written itemized estimate * labor hours + hourly rate in writing * clarification of what they mean by "tune-up" before approving work
