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!

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.

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!!
