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 took my 2005 Jeep Wrangler in for multiple services and a state inspection. After completing all…read morethe services the running issue had not been resolved and the worst part was that they entered the wrong millage into the inspection. I called the service department multiple times and they said they didn't know how to fix this issue. I even called the DMV and they told me how they could fix the issue and i passed this info along to them but they never did anything about it. Now when i go to get an inspection next year the millage will me lower than the year before and there is a high likelihood that this will flag on a Carfax report that the odometer has been altered. Again i have tried multiple attempts to get this rectified. I most defiantly will not be using Jeep again for service.

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!

After coming back from Hatteras, we ran our SUV over a water surge on the highway and our…read morePathfinder made a very loud engine sound. Since we would be going home in a few days, we looked for an auto repair place convenient to us. Automotive repair shops are always a scary proposition as who know who is honest and who isn't. After checking out my trusty YELP, I came across Jeff. I called and he immediately responded. He said that he had several cars to look at but to text him about my car and situation so that he wouldn't forget about me. Several hours later (which I was fine with), he told me to come the next day at 10 am. When I arrived, Jeff immediately looked at my car and said it was my exhaust system and could need a new one. He said he did not do that but had someone around the corner who could do that. He then hopped on the dolly and looked under my car and said the exhaust must have dislodged when we went through the water puddle. He said he could weld it for us and the charge was only $70. I thought this automotive visit could easily been a big downer for our vacation but Jeff was honest and efficient and made a great experience. If you are on vacation or a native, use Jeff. You'll be glad you did. Thanks Jeff!

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.
