I had to get a new motor put into my car and I was told this was the place to go. In November of 2022. I bought a new motor through Oriellys on 10th St in Grennville.( they were great). Capital Auto is a father and son shop the one in Greenville is ran by Shane Mclawhorn. My cars motor went backbout on Feb.22,2023, only two months of me getting it back in Dec. 2022. Shane tried to say bc there was no oil, but they later found out it was a oil leak. So I waited for two months and they never started to replcae my engine mind you Im under a warrenty with them and the motor co. They "lost" my reciept and suddenly went back on their word of repairing my vehicle bc I kept calling to see the progress. The owner Mr. Mclawhorn said he would do it in Ayden then he quickly renigged for no apparent reason. He rudly told me to get my car off his property. I did so and found another machanic in April, which was extremly hard bc of the warranty. When he finished he found that my motor went out do to neglegince of the machanics at Capital Automotives. The screws were not tightened on the flywheel which eventually broke off and dammaged my new motor! Now Shane is still saying hes not responsible for anything and threatening me with charges of harrassment bc I sent him pics of the damage they caused. The pictures dont lie and I really may end this in court if they dont comply with myself or the motor company. Even the people they work with on a daily basis talk about how rude they are and have adviced me to take it to court. The pictures are the flywheel and the bolts that came off bc no one went back to tighten the screws. read more

I can't speak about Capital Automotive's quality of work, because I would not let them service my car. But I CAN attest to the owners unscrupulous and unethical business practices. I had asked their wrecker service to come tow my Toyota Avalon. When his son got there, he promptly backed into the rear bumper, causing a large dent and several scratches off the paint! The driver, 'popped' out the bumper and said it was O.K. It wasn't. I asked the owner, Mr. Dean McLawhorn to please have his insurance company reimburse me the $346.69 for damages. He never would, only letting me know in a recorded message; "I have a buddy who will do it for cheap." Yeah, right. My advice is to look elsewhere for your automotive services. read more

This place profits off of people's tragedies. They get called by the State Troopers to pick up wrecked cars at the scene of the accident. They don't mention pricing or storage. They charge $308 to tow plus $110 if they winch the vehicle. Then they tack on $40 a night storage. Of course, they offer to dispose of the car for you and drop the bill if you pay them $100. Then they can sell your car for easily over $1000. (This is why they charge outrageous rates, so you can't pay and they can keep your car.) The owner thinks since he charges everyone the same that it's fair. It's not. It's a rip off. It does not cost your business $418 dollars to pick up a vehicle, and I can understand charging people storage if they are dragging their feet, but I scheduled a pick up immediately. Pick up simply wasn't possible for a couple days. Charging $120 for three nights from an accident in which families are dealing with medical care and insurance is ridiculous. Stay away from this business until they change their policies. I hope this review makes them think about it. read more

I don't recommend this place unless you have NO OTHER CHOICE! Seemed like the guys are just looking to make some money. I had spectacular lights on my Mazda 3, literally needed a lightbulb change. It's very difficult on my model to get the bulb changed out and lined up correctly. I noticed the previous owner of my car had done some upgrades on the lighting system....after going over to this company to have them fix the bulb issue and any wiring issues they totally destroyed my upgrade. I now have NO fog lights and my nice blue halogen bulbs were swapped out for crappy dim yellow bulbs and I can't drive at night because I simply cannot see the road ahead of me....they're also not lined up, I can see the trees above me and two feet in front of me...my car looks like it has two lazy eyes. Not worth the $300 they charged me- I wouldn't give them another dime if they were the last mechanics on Earth. read more

My family and I have used Capital Automotive for our car repairs for several years. Not only do they do great work that they gladly stand behind, but also the owner Dean McLawhorn is simply a joy to deal with. He is very friendly, glad to help, and tries his best to get the job done when he promises. As a woman sometimes it is hard to know who to trust for your car care, but I feel confident in the service I receive from Dean and his crew at Capital Automotive. read more
