This review is only for the inspection center…read more This place gets the job done, quick and easy. No appointment is necessary - you can just drive up and the attendant will ask for your registration, and then will take your car into the garage for an inspection. I've been to other places that take 30-60 minutes, even with an appointment (most of which is waiting). I've always been finished in less than 15 minutes here (if I have to wait behind someone else) - but usually less than 10 minutes. The $30 fee is standard for an NC inspection, but I'm glad to report that I haven't been upcharged for a simple fix like replacing a light. I've come here twice during COVID - the attendants wore masks and sanitized their hands between cars. They didn't wear gloves, but I wiped down my steering wheel, etc. afterwards anyways. It's also all outdoors - the indoor seating area is closed off due to COVID. Thankfully, I found some shade to stand in while waiting, and since it only took less than 10 minutes, it was not a big inconvenience at all. Since I found this place out a few years ago, I've been coming here exclusively for my car inspections and have been very happy with their service.

They don't take appointments for inspections so it is first-come, first serve. Since it was fairly busy, I was told it would take about 45 minutes. They have seating inside, however, I decided to wait at a nearby coffee shop. They took down my number and said they would call when ready for pick-up. After about 20 minutes I received a call informing me that the vehicle would fail inspection since one of the windshield wipers was torn. They offered to replace one, both, or neither (for me to replace myself or at a different location). When asked, he informed me of the price options. The prices were reasonable so I asked to swap them both out for $50. He called back about 5 minutes later to report the vehicle passed inspection with the new wiper blades. I returned, paid inside, and picked up my vehicle. Total came to a little under $90 for the wiper blades and inspection. Overall, excellent quick and quality service with great communication. I recommend this auto shop to others!

DID NOT PROVIDE SERVICE: BUYER BEWARE…read more Took my Audi here and asked for a simple oil change ($150) and to have coolant added in the car. They took down my number and said they would call when the car was ready in about 40 minutes. Two hours later I had to call them because I still had not received a call and they closed in 30 minutes. When I arrived they said they weren't able to add coolant because they didn't have the correct kind in shop but the oil was changed. FOUR days later (13mi) since they supposedly changed the oil, a family friend (who is a mechanic) looked at the oil and said it was BLACK and that there was no way the oil had been recently changed. I spoke with the manager (Chris) and he immediately said "I don't know what you expect me to do?" And that he was 100% certain the oil was changed, even though he admitted the shop had issues in the past with people not providing services!!! I also asked if he could review the cameras just to make sure and he said the cameras don't work (convenient!)

So nice to see that it is not a corporate chain, or a teeter... or an unused strip mall. Went there recently for my kids car, which had a sensor that I could not replace. Brought in early on Friday morning, they ordered the part and gave me an 1100 (roughly) dollar estimate. Cam shaft sensors are not easy to get to, btw. They got the part in, got it fixed before the end of the day, and my bill was ~850 bucks. They didn't need to replace one of the sensors, and said to me, why spend the money if you don't need to. Respect that. If you get there early, you can generally wait a short time for simple stuff like oil change or junk. I just drop it off and pick it up after work. Muuuuuuccccccchhhhhh better than going corporate or dealer, by far!

When it came to price, we negotiated a certain price to complete the service. But when I reached there to pick up the car, he "asked" (exhorted) higher price than what we negotiated for.

My car broke down and was towed to Cary Car Care after being recommended by GEICO. I was initially…read moretold the diagnostic fee would be $130, but ended up being charged $176. Later that evening, they called with a repair estimate of $2,156 to replace the radiator fan, thermostat, and tires, plus $309 just to refill the antifreeze. When I called to ask about alternatives, they only reduced the price by $20. That felt excessive, so I decided to get a second opinion. I ended up going to NC Complete Auto Care, where the radiator fan was replaced for $881. They didn't charge for refilling the antifreeze and said the thermostat wasn't an issue and did not need to be replaced. They also let me know I could safely wait on the tires for a couple more months. I appreciated the transparency and will be taking my business there from now on. I can't recommend Cary Car Care based on my experience.

Terrible service! I…read moreaccidentally made my appointment for Wednesday 10/30/24 instead of Wednesday 10/23/24 but brought my car in Tuesday afternoon 10/22/24 and got checked in. No call or text Wednesday 10/23/24 so I called at the end of the day and was told they hadn't started working on the car yet but I was in the queue for the work to be done in the morning. I called today Thursday 10/24/24 and they still hadn't touched the car! And that's when the mechanic told me the appt. was for the 30th. I realize it was my mistake on the scheduling but why didn't the check in lady tell me I had the day wrong? And why didn't someone notice yesterday when the car was sitting there all day? And why did they say the car was in queue to be worked on in the morning? I'm on my way out of town for a family emergency and this messed me up so badly. I've been calling all over to see if I could get a rush job on the work. Really terrible service and I will never go back here or recommend them. Update: I appreciate the businesses response but there was another aspect of this situation that bothered me. When I realize the date mistake I asked the guy who answered the phone if they could squeeze me in. He said: if someone who has an appointment doesn't show up or cancels we can get you in. But I can't make any guarantees. I kind of expected that he'd try to see if he could accommodate me but he just said sorry...can't do anything. And I would feel differently if he had at least shown some empathy.
