I am here all the time for the Food Lion Grocery store in the same parking lot, and the ABC Liquor store across the street so I figure if worse comes to worst, I can always walk back home with something in my backpack. They did the work quicker than I expected and didn't mind that I left the car in their lot for a few days. So far so good. The stickers on the front door don't say if they take American Express, but the kind proprietor said he could do it if he had to. I said, to cover their extra fee? He said yeah. Well that worked better for me, so it worked out well. (to be clear, I paid the extra fee)

I'm really going to be bummed if Joe retires and one of his crew doesn't take over this hidden gem of a repair shop. Fast and Fair!

In the end, it was unusually spot on, and when I came to pay and fetch, a different counter lady saw my work ID and gave me a discount for working at Duke. Overall, fair, efficient and would definitely be comfortable going back there again.

The price was high to be honest. After waiting for over an hour and a half the work itself took about 30 minutes. It was nearly $200. The staff was friendly and I was able to watch them on their CCTV network. They noticed a part that needed to be replaced and brought it to my attention however it would have been a part bought at a local auto parts store which would mean an inferior part not a OE or OEM part designed for a German car, definitely not going down that route. What was odd is that a few days after the work my brake light came on, the sensor must have been tripped. What's odd is that my pad set came with a new sensor and should have been replaced, so why it was tripped is unsure to me. But now I have to get that fixed to reset my dash light, something else to do... I think I may come back... still not sure.

I brought my 2017 BMW X1 to Neal's Garage for a fluid leak. They inspected the car and replaced the…read moreoil cooler. After the repair, the car was still leaking, so I returned for a warranty fix, and they replaced an O‑ring for the upper coolant hose. Even after that, the leak continued. At that point, I no longer felt confident they could diagnose the issue, so I took the car to another mechanic. The second shop identified the actual source of the leak: a broken plastic piece on the oil filter housing where the oil cooler connects. They replaced the entire oil filter housing assembly, and the leak was resolved. From this, I realized that the incorrect part had been replaced initially. Based on what I learned, the plastic housing is the common failure point, not the metal cooler itself. Many mechanics recommend replacing the full housing to stop leaks. When I asked Neal's Garage for a refund, they refused and told me I should bring the car back again under their warranty. However, after two unsuccessful repair attempts, I didn't feel comfortable returning for a third try. At this point, I don't feel confident trusting them with anything beyond basic maintenance. Photos: These photos show the removed oil filter housing from the second mechanic. The first image highlights a visible break in the plastic housing, which was identified as the actual source of the leak, and which should have been replaced instead of the oil cooler alone.
