I took the car to Napa Auto Parts in Kitty Hawk, NC where Cindy hooked up the OBD2 Scanner and helped me understand exactly what was happening with my car.

Manteo is about two miles away the main road. This autoparts store is well organized and looks like it has everything necessary to repair any vehicle. I love their focus on old school cars, it is difficult to find parts for older cars in stock but this store understands its customer base. Great service, great selection!

Whatever you do, do not use this dealer for any service other than oil changes and warranty related…read morework. The prices for labor are extremely high, higher than any local service center. And when it comes to the parts prices, count on spending five to ten times the price you will pay at Autozone or other parts retailers. No, that is not some Chinese knockoff part, that is for name brand, often Mopar, parts. There dealer's reply? "I don't set the prices." Find a local, community owned service center. They will not rob you blind.

While on our family vacation in OBX, the alternator in our Toyota Highlander went out. At the time,…read morewe didn't know it was the alternator until we replaced the battery and checked it at the local Auto Zone. I then googled mechanics near me. OBX Affordable Automotive Repair was one of the top shops. I read the reviews and told my husband that we should drive over. I have to say that Jeff is an impressive mechanic! He got us in, replaced the alternator in about 2 hours! He's an honest, straightforward person. We genuinely appreciate him helping us out in this situation being so far away from home. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Jeff!

He told me to order the parts and set up an appointment closer to when I would be here. I did that and Jeff never responded in the two week window I gave him.

Panic sank-in like a weight on fishing line dropping off Avon Pier. Turned out we needed more than a new battery: the alternator and serpentine belt both needed to be replaced and every place we called was booked for the next two weeks!

Next year, the plan is to have John turn our minivan in a Maserati.

Fantastic Service, Impeccable Experience!…read more I've taken my vehicles to many different mechanics on the Outer Banks throughout my life and none of them compare to the level of professionalism, experience, and customer service as Kitty Hawk Commercial Truck & Auto. I was able to communicate with the customer service rep over Facebook messenger and they answered all my questions promptly and satisfactory to my needs. I was able to get an appointment very soon within my availability. The first time I need them to do a full diagnostic of my vehicle. As well as fixing a few present issues. They provided me with a detailed description of everything I needed to get done and in order of priority. They provided cost for parts and labor. The customer service rep went over all of it with me, allowing me to gain trust in thier knowledge and experience. Because I was a happy customer the first time. I decided to come back. The second time I again spoke with the rep via Facebook messenger and they got me an appointment. I am unable to drop my car of during business hours which is OK because they have an overnight dropbox. I highlighted what I needed done, from the previous list they provided, and they took care of exactly what I asked for. The best part about it is that it was all at a reasonable price. Even though I leave my vehicle for them to ha e it all day so they dont have to rush or worry, in case they unexpectedly get slammed, they always get the job done in a faster time then I expected. If you're looking for real experiences in trucks and autos. If you want to get your vehicle fixed right, at a reasonable price and in a timely manner then you definitely need take your vehicle here. They will take care of you. I am one extremely satisfied customer for life.

This was one of the best service we have ever gotten here in the Outerbanks. Most is lukewarm but over here folks are greeting you from the very first step you go in. The guy who is ringing everyone up was very nice as well. Now let's talk about the biscuits. Biscuits so famous they start coming in hot at 5:30 am. Biscuits so famous that there's always a guaranteed line! Biscuits so famous they have a rather fascinating name accompanying it. It was great especially for breakfast we came back at 7:00 am determined to get some of those biscuits goodness and we got it piping hot and delicious. Prices are affordable and great selection. I love places like this unassuming but delightful! So whenever you are in the Outerbanks. Give them a try! Friendly service and good affordable food!
