I always leave feeling confident that my vehicle is in good shape. The location is super convenient, and the whole process is smooth and stress-free.

Placed a quick call over to Mavis Tire, Manager calmed me down and reassured me; - Scheduled me for a 3:30 Emergency Appointment; - Very impressed with the Call Back I received - Confirming my appointment. I arrived @ Mavis; - The facility was clean, organized and easy to maneuver around. I was very impressed at how clean and comfortable the waiting room was. There was virtually not wait; Gentleman took my care and I was able to view through the glass a group of mechanics personally and carefully assessing the integrity of my tires. Workers worked carefully, safely and efficiently. Turned out, I was OK - I was "Taken Care of" by Boyd and Robert - They were extremely honest, compassionate and kind and would not take a Nickle or a Dime from me. Boyd & Robert reassured me, send me on my way and explained an appropriate course of action - in the even the issue returned. I was truly amazed at how carefully and extensively they examined my tires. This is why I trust Mavis and will likely return again - when the time comes for me to replace my tires. A+ @ this Salisbury, NC location. Thank You Boyd & Robert! Thank you for not charging me anything! Can't beat that value! Prices are tires are very fair BTW.

Got up early the next morning and came to Mavis Tires & Brakes and they have been amazing to work with. They got the car in right away and let me know what was going on. It was a pretty heavy workload needed to get it fixed but they explained everything and worked with me to ensure I could get it all done and with affordable rates - and to get the work done before the wedding this afternoon! And, because it took a little longer than they anticipated, they included in me their pizza lunch (much appreciated). I sat in the main room talking with Sheila and Tamir and some other staff (so nice) and watched them deliver amazing service to everyone that came in, and in another instance, seemed like they went above and beyond for one guy too to make sure he got the tires he needed. Being from out of town, faced with a stressful car repair situation- I'm so glad I brought the car to the folks at Mavis! Lifesavers! 10/10, I highly recommend any locals or out of towners come here. Glad to know we'll be able to safely get back to FL thanks to the Mavis team!

This place is now called Central Automotive…read more A family member, who works a full-time job during the week, took on a second job, working 12-hour nursing shifts every Saturday and Sunday for months without a single day off, just to save enough money to surprise her husband with a Jeep for his 40th birthday. It was an incredible sacrifice, and she was so excited to make this gift special. She brought the Jeep to Central Automotive several times for repairs and maintenance to get it ready. On June 24, she returned because the check engine light had come back on. The shop diagnosed additional repairs totaling about $1,000, which she authorized. On July 1, she picked up the Jeep to take it to the local Jeep dealership so they could clear a code the shop couldn't clear. That's when the dealership discovered the catalytic converter was missing--it had been stolen while the Jeep was in this shop's possession. When you leave your vehicle with a repair shop, you should be able to trust that it will be returned in the same condition, aside from the repairs you authorized. That basic expectation was completely shattered. A vehicle left in the care of a professional repair facility should not come back missing major components because it was left vulnerable to theft. Instead of taking responsibility and working through their insurance, the shop gave her the runaround for more than a week. She was first presented with an outrageous $8,000 estimate to replace the catalytic converter, then later offered a reduced quote of about $1,600, claiming they weren't charging labor. Regardless of how they justified the pricing, she still ended up paying out of pocket to replace a part that was stolen while the Jeep was in their custody. What makes this even more concerning is that vehicles are routinely left outside overnight despite the shop having multiple service bays where they could potentially be secured. If this is how customer vehicles are handled, then anyone considering leaving a vehicle here should understand that there is apparently no guarantee it will be adequately protected while in the shop's care. Customers entrust repair shops with some of their most valuable possessions, and that trust means taking reasonable steps to safeguard them--not leaving them exposed and then expecting the customer to absorb the loss if something is stolen. Before posting this review, I reached out to the shop myself in the hope that they would acknowledge what happened and make things right. Unfortunately, my attempt to contact the shop received no response, so small claims court it is. The financial burden was frustrating enough, but what was really heartbreaking was seeing the excitement surrounding this special birthday gift disappear. What should have been one of the happiest moments for their family became stressful, expensive, and deeply disappointing because of the shop's lack of accountability. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this business. If you leave your vehicle here, understand that if something happens to it while it is in their possession, you may be left paying the price yourself.

Update: a friend wanted the vehicle to see if he could get it running in his spare time. A few…read moremonths later, he told me that I wouldn't believe what he found. He stated that he found three of the fuel injectors that weren't reconnected when Central Automotive was messing with the vehicle.. Once he reconnected the fuel injectors, the vehicle ran fine. So, basically we were out of vehicle due to the incompetence of this facility. If Tom, at Central Automotive, would have just checked his work, they should have found that and I would still have the vehicle today. Instead, I had to purchase another vehicle, which I did not want to do at the time. Update 2: Spoke with Tom today and his excuse for his lies about the vehicle not having oil in it was that he misspoke because according to the record he has it did have oil in it. His excuse for not reconnecting the 3 fuel injectors was because "we are human and humans make mistakes". But, honest, ethical humans would check their work to make sure they had not made a mistake when asked to do so. Which he would not. And, they would not suggest that I trade a vehicle that they knew had issues. He asked what I wanted from him. I said to sincerely apologize and consider at least a partial refund. He said that he fixed my vehicle (he made it worse) and I already gave him a bad review. So that was not an option. Very dishonest, unethical person!!!!
