Have you ever asked anyone: 'can you recommend an honest mechanic'?…read moreAs consumers who work hard for our pay, we have a fear of having a 'bad' mechanic experience and spending lots of $'s. I think most all of us can tell a bad 'mechanic story.' Few of us can tell a 'good mechanic' story but this is one. I recommend you talk to Billy on the phone, he will give you the straight scoop. The issue was a 2004 Mazda 6 that had a 'check engine light' on. The car is tagged in NC and the registration expires the end of May. In Carolina you can't get your registration renewed unless your vehicle can pass a State inspection. After talking to Billy on the phone he said bring it in let's take a look; It was almost 5p on Friday when I got there. I think most people are ready to roll @ 5p on a Friday. He has straight up and professional. He said we will run a diagnostics on it and if we can fix it we will but we'll call you if it's going to cost you money. We spoke on Monday morning. He said we ran the diagnostics and we can't find an issue and there is no bad code history. What's the charge I asked? No charge he said, all we did is run the codes and nothing is wrong with it so you can come pick it up and theres no charge. Now we are holding our fingers that the check engine light doesn't come on before we get it to NC for a State Inspection so we can THEN get the registration renewed before the end of the month. So that's the rest of the story. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys.

Diogenes can rest! We found an honest Mechanic!…read more I am disabled, on crutches and living on Social Security, so I watch every dime. We found Tim Hall's shop after a number of disappointing experiences at a neighboring shop. Tim actually sent a mechanic over to retrieve our Jeep from the other shop, and made the repairs for a fraction of what the other shop quoted. I decided to take my Expedition for a few needed repairs, and again the repairs were made quickly, and to my surprise for about half of my expectation. I even stopped Tim and asked him if the bill was correct! He assured me it was, and I went home a happy man. Hall's is clean, the people are personable, and Tim is a good communicator. Unlike a neighboring shop that confuses fixing cars with operating a day care center. On one occasion when I entered the shop, after seeing me on crutches, the mechanic rushed out with a chair for me. When I picked up my Expedition, the same mechanic drove it around front for me and made sure I got in alright. Small gestures, but much appreciated. Without doubt, the best auto repair experiences I have ever had. Go with confidence!

Piedmont Tire and Auto has my complete trust. Had purchased tires from them many years ago. Was…read morerecently told that I needed new tires, went to the usual tire places, received quotes and then remembered them. I called, told them the make, model, and wanted something good in snow, rain, and off road (for a Jeep). They answered a few questions, ordered the tires, I scheduled the appointment, got them put on, and when I went to pay thought it was a mistake because the price was so low. After paying, was driving off the lot and immediately noticed a huge difference - it rode much smoother. The next day, researched the tire brand thinking with such a low price, it was a bad brand - only to discover that the brand is a recognized one and of high quality; additionally, the specific tire's description specifies that it is made for snow, rain, and for off road. I love, love, love Piedmont Tire & Auto. The professionals are incredibly good, attentative, and polite. One recommendation is to either drop it off or Uber somewhere while waiting. Though they are efficient and operate, smoothly, they have a constant flow of customers. They appreciate buffer time to accommodate everyone.

Questioning why an intact part was replaced will get you "fired as a customer". If you want to have the same issue regarding tire vibration that cut through 3 pairs of tires in around 2 years, go to piedmont. If you want to be told its balancing, no its alignment, no now 3/4 of your rims are magically bent the day after we replace and rotate your tires even though we stated the bend was not there when you brought it in 4-5 months prior but its absolutely not our fault and is "impossible" for it to be, go to piedmont and lastly, if you want your father repeatedly implied to be giving "bad advice" .. because i guess a young woman cant ask questions of her own accord regarding HER car.,. based upon a singular, previous appt where my father questioned why a perfectly intact oil pan (which now his oil leak is WORSE after going there AND they put regular oil in instead of full synthetic???) was replaced and charged, go to piedmont!!! Not just haymarket piedmont- all piedmonts! I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt for a long, long while, even referring my family there given their cult following- but 2 years later, at least 4 pairs of tire purchases later... i have the same problem i walked in with years ago, and now the owner, John, utilizes his platform of 33,000 locals to villainize prior customers, make personal attacks, and cruel allegations. Of note: John frequently offers money up for anyone to grab regarding either tire service, coffee, etc. If you contact him about this, he will warp it as asking for handouts. Also, on the very large facebook forum, the group rules state fundraisers must be approved by admin (him). If you ask him to post a medical fundraiser for medical equipment (saving a sick service dog), he will again warp it as asking for handouts to the public. He will then utilize his platform of 30k locals to bash previous customers- including posting their picture with name calling and cruel accusations. This is the caliber of businessman you are dealing with.
