Tony is awesome, fair, fast, and friendly. He doesn't fix anything so he's not going to gig you to make money. If you've got something close to borderline he will tell you about it so you can get it fixed asap and still pass you, where some places will gig you for stuff that's not even close to borderline yet. He is worth the drive and worth the wait! I have used him for more years than I can remember; maybe 15 or more! read more

Small business owner who is SO SO nice. Tony helped me get in and get out before work -- on a FRIDAY! He was responsive and made sure my car inspection was good to go. Will definitely be back here for the service, the value, and to continue to support small business owners. read more

Would not go anywhere else. I go here multiple times per year and the inspections are thorough, but also timely. The customer service and satisfaction/relationship I have with the owner here is irreplaceable, and as long as I live in Charlotte, I will come here. I highly suggest anyone come here and get their car inspected!!! read more

If you need your car inspected, bring it here. I've been getting my cars inspected here for YEARS. Short wait times, if even any wait at all. Service is always fast and very professional. Tony, the owner, is a LOCAL businessman and I intend on giving him my patronage for years to come. read more

This is the only place I'll take my cars for inspections. They make the inspection process quick and easy. I usually stop in during my lunch break and have never needed to wait more than 30 minutes. They let you know the estimated wait time right when you walk in. No frills or beating around the bush, just honest and easy inspections. read more

This guy will have you out in less than ten minutes. I had two light bulbs out before my car could pass inspection. He replaces both for only eight bucks, which is about what the bulbs cost retail, nevermind labor costs. The past times I've been there, when nothing with my car has been questionable, he tends to have you out in around 7 minutes. You won't find better service anywhere. read more

This place is a joke! The "gentleman" who greeted me lied. He said my check engine light bulb was out which he said meant it had multiple error codes recently (incorrect). Also my tires were too "worn down". He then insisted with a horrible excuse that the NC DMV law stated that I had to pay 23 dollars even though it did not pass inspection. Rather than lose my temper I paid drove down the street to a new station and passed inspection. Please save yourself some time and stay away! read more

While I am not sure of the first year because I'm not sure when they opened, I have used their service every year it has been available to me since 2005, and have always been very satisfied. All of the employees I have encountered at every visit over the years have been kind, courteous, and professional. Each year, I have taken all my vehicles in for the required annual inspections before renewing each of my registrations. They have always handled all my inspections promptly, and I have never had any unnecessary delays. They run a very good and efficient operation and know what they are doing. Regardless of where you have been in the past, you will be pleasantly surprised by their reasonable charge and by the timely manner in which they get you out and on your way. It would be hard to find a business that operates as well as they do, and I can assure you that you will be just as pleased with them as I have been for many years.

I had 3 of my vehicles done, two with tire sensors and they damaged two on my truck which cost me a additional $170 and two on my car that I had serviced first also at $170. I called the shop after my truck sensors where showing bad, and I thought my car sensors needed to be programmed, I brought back receipts after they told me they would take care of it, because they don't fix sensors, this lead to the shop guy refusing to honer his work on the install of my tires and or damage to my car sensors, and was told I should have called earlier about my car which was done first. This lead to an agreement about who was at fault and mind you I don't change tires and he agreed everything worked before he installed the tires. And didn't want to pay for all my damage because I didn't say anything about the car. No sensor issue when I dropped it off which he knew of and never said anything about why it was on afterwards. Because he knew he broke it and didn't think I would find out how. they also took my caps off from the chrome side of my rims on my car and broke one completely off and tried to glue it back or something, replaced at $20 a cap. Additionally $80 , They also do detailing on vehicles , which if you know you can damage car paint and other stuff I wouldn't recommend anybody for that service either because they don't stand behind they're work if they make a mistake. Now I have to waste time going to small claims court for my money I shouldn't have had to come out of pocket for for service I expected to be done correctly and professionally.

I have not seen Mike in years and not sure if he is still active in the business. This last service might be my last. Went in for a general tune-up and left $1400 in the hole with another $1000 quoted to fix an oil leak (90% labor) which I chose not to do. Part of the $1400 included new breaks and 2 new tires. The breaks have been squeeking ever since and I have avoided bringing it back. The $1000 oil leak has not shown itself. Before this experience, the last few were noticeably different in how I was spoken to and treated, but I thought they always did great work at a good price. Now, I am not so sure it hasn't become just like any other "buyer beware" service garage.

I can't say enough good things about Tech Automotive in Charlotte. I first brought my car in for a…read moreradiator issue and water pump replacement, and the service was quick, affordable, and professional. A couple of days later, my car started overheating again. I called them, and without hesitation, they told me to bring it in right away. They quickly diagnosed a completely different problem--my thermostat and a faulty sensor. Even though this was unrelated to the first repair, they covered the cost entirely. That kind of integrity and commitment to customer satisfaction is almost impossible to find these days. Not only do they have some of the best prices in town, but the team genuinely cares about their customers. They took the time to listen to my frustrations, treated me with kindness, and even gave me a hug before I left. It's rare to find a shop that blends top-notch mechanical work with such compassion and honesty. If you want skilled, trustworthy, and caring professionals to work on your vehicle, Tech Automotive is the place. They've earned a loyal customer for life.

I was quoted 158 for this job the day prior over the phone and I confirmed at the start of the appointment if that would be the price. My brakes were in poor shape, missing a brake pad on one side and the mechanics spent an extra 15-20 mins working on my cylinder. At the end of the job, Chris informed me that they got air on the line and would have to bleed the brakes. (I've always had my brakes bled at the end of any brake job so this is standard for me to have done whenever I get my breaks done. They told me this would be an extra 120 dollars at the end of the job. My father is a mechanic and said that price was a little high just to bleed the brakes and was very familiar with the procedure. He told me "go call your dad and ask him to send you more money." When I asked if they could take 20 bucks off and knock the price down to 100 from 120 he asked me to tell him how old I was which I thought was rude and uncalled for. I told him I was 30 and he proceeded to say "wow you look 18" and said "one day you're going to have to learn that everything in life isn't free sweetheart." When I went to his office to pay he also said I'm going to have to buy him lunch because they spent extra time working on my car than they planned. Disgusting behavior. I would not recommend this shop to any woman (or really anyone) unless you want to be taken advantage of and upsold. They ended up bleeding one brake so my car would be somewhat drivable. My interior dashboard was also scratched up when I got my car back from them.

Luckily I happened to find CLTMobile online! I actually invested in a mobile brake repair business about 3 years ago but have often thought how great a full service mobile mechanic would be! I messed up an electrical connection on one of my cars by accident doing some service on it. I could not fix it. My wife needed that car for work within a few days and my time was limited during that time to get it somewhere to get fixed. I called CLTmobile and got an appt booked right away. Mechanic came on time; he was super nice and very knowledgeable. He did a terrific job at a very affordable price! I will definitely be using them for all my automotive needs going forward that I can't fix myself. I love seeing the younger generation building a great and much needed business like this in Charlotte.
