Had a flat tire, slow leak. They fit me in, same day, took 15 minutes. SUPER reasonable rate…read more Amanda was, as others have noted, excellent on the customer service side, and taking care of the flat repair herself. I'd used this business before, and knew the owner had retired - Now turning it over to this younger group. Same vibe, same super reasonable cost, excellent customer interface. I also asked about a brake job on my Jeep, to which Amanda said, of course, they were just finishing one up now. Brilliantly, she offered they don't automatically replace the rotors -which is a wonderful high profit job for the usual shops, but often not necessary. That was beyond refreshing. This business is a keeper. It's a low overhead shop, so no glitzy outer building and signage, or waiting room (they do have a small spot, complete with a happy dog.) Don't be put off by the exterior - they are a rare bargain. 5 stars easily.

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!

I've used this place a couple of times when I lived on the OBX. Jeff was always great, but this…read morelast time I called a month ahead of time and needed a timing belt change with all the components. 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. He ghosted me and also blocked my phone number. I was nothing but polite and respectful. I recommended him to locals, but never again. Highly recommend OBX Mobile Engine in Powell's Point!

(There was not enough charge in the battery to get the car back to South Nags Head, let alone back to Kill Devil again) Called Billy's, he said he couldn't get to it until the 7th, to bring it to him. He looked at it, ordered the alternator from 2 1/2 hours away, called Thursday morning to pick up my car!!! Very nice man, highly recommend!!!

They helped me out while I was here on vacation. No charge to have my car looked and evaluated…read moreafter I ran over a part from a boat (it fell off in front of me while driving down the highway). My mind was put to ease with the evaluation, which was greater than I expected -- truly surprised me with the thoroughness. They gave an honest appraisal of all the things my car needed, including a mindfulness towards the oil, and new front tires (which I clearly needed before running anything over), and assured me I was good for the return trip home without any immediate repairs or parts done in their shop. I followed through with their advice when I did get home, including getting new tires, and it truly made a difference in how the car was driving. Wish they were my home mechanic!!

They said it would be the end of the week to look at the problem. After explaining that I had to rent a car and book extra lodging for the weekend they said they would try to get to it As soon as possible.

My car had a whole bunch of other issues that was never addressed to me, and went ahead to do mini fixes that ended up making it worse. For example after I got it back my motor mounts started to go (they already were) but they tightened the bolts so much to try and keep my engine from shaking it ended up tearing the metal away effecting the other side. I dumped 700 dollars just for my car to get more problems and not even know about it. They were nice but I would rather know the truth than someone to be nice to me. Don't go here just because you hear good things, it's a waste of money and I wish I knew better by listening to the reviews about this place. Note: I have a German car, not sure how well they work on American cars like Fords but it's better to take your foreign car to somewhere in VA.
