Called Pete's for the first time and honestly wasn't sure what to expect. From that first phone call to picking my car up, they knocked it out. They even cleaned my windshield after putting on the new wiper blades. Little thing, but you notice it. Pete's has my business now. read more

They are so nice first off. Confident they are honest unlike another guy I found on yelp! They have fixed my son's car, who is here temporarily at Duke children's hospital. I wish I could give them 10 stars. Do not hesitate to go there. Car is running like it did years ago. I can't thank them enough. read more

I've been taking all of my family vehicles to Petes for over a decade. Always honest and helpful. Recommending what to get done, what can wait, and what not to get done. Our cars include a 1995 Corvette, 2018 Jeep Renegade, 2012 GMC Adacia, and a 2016 Ford Escape. Previous cars have included a 1995 Toyota Carola and one or two others I can't recall. I've had everything from standard stuff like oil changes, tires, brakes, as well as more complicated items like ignition coils, OptiSpark, water pumps, etc. Spot on every time. I highly recommend Bryan and Patrick for anything your car may need! read more

I've used Pete's Garage for years and have always been 100% satisfied. They're professionals - thorough, detailed, and fix it right the first time. Auto repair isn't about throwing parts at a problem or guessing the cheapest fix to get a car back on the road. It's about ensuring cars are safe, dependable, and repaired correctly. That's what keeps our family coming back. read more

Pete's Garage - Pete's Garage - Auto Repair Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Had an emergency and needed an inspection for a trip, Pete's got me in and inspected in 15 min! (Tesla), incredible service!

BEWARE! asked these guys to look at one thing, they ended up doing a full inspection, recommending a bunch of stuff that really did not need to be done or that I was not interested in addressing with them, never got to the bottom of the initial inquiry and charged me $75 for doing something I didn't ask them to do saying it's policy to do this even though they never disclosed or expressed that at the time of drop off. Shady AF. read more

I take all of my vehicles to Pete's. They are the only people I trust to give me an honest, fair assessment. I am always confident they have done what is needed to keep me and everyone else on the road safe. Highly recommend! read more

Brian is always so honest and kind, their service is fast and I've never had any issues. It's so nice to have a mechanic you can trust!

Rude, and instead of helping me, went straight for my pockets!! My "Service AdvanceTrac system" warning light was on so I called Pete's. When I told them what was wrong, he said that he couldn't tell me what's wrong with my vehicle without running their diagnostic and he quoted me $90 plus. When I arrived to drop my car off, the guy was very short and talked at me instead of to me. Two and a half hours after dropping my car off, he calls me and tells me that there are several codes on my car and he can't tell me what' s wrong without driving it. He then says, I need 3 new tires, because of this my car is not safe to drive, so he not only could not drive it, but couldn't tell me what's wrong with my car. But he did give me a quote on three new tires. Very pricey, but I had just got two of the tires in September and October so I was gong back to that tire place. He informed me that to pick my car up, I would need to pay $67. This is where my major confusion kicks in: 1. I dropped my car off for you to tell me what's wrong with it: AdvanceTrac system 2. You couldn't do what you needed in order to tell me what it will cost to fix, or what needed to be fixed for that matter 3. Exactly what am I paying you for? The same report the AdvanceAuto and Auto Zone give me for free? Make it make sense? You just wanted to sell me tires, because that was more profitable than fixing the AdvanceTrac System as it is merely a sensor that needs to be changed out. But you want to sell me 3 new tire, an alignment and two tire rods. 4. When I took my car to the my original tire place. He recommended and replaced ONE TIRE!!!!!! $45 read more

I was a loyal customer for 3 years but the last experience I had really put a bad taste in my mouth and made me think differently of this business. I dropped my car off for what was supposed to be a simple oil change on Thursday 4/22. I got a call on Friday morning saying that my oil filter and adapter broke as they were taking it out for the oil change. They said that "GM put it in a weird spot" and that "these things just get brittle over the years". Maybe that's true, but my oil filter was intact when I dropped it off and it therefore broke in their hands. Despite this, they still charged me the full amount for the replacement oil filter and labor and what was supposed to be a $25 oil change turned into $546 dollars. I truly love supporting small businesses and would have been fine covering at least half of it; however, I do not believe I should have been responsible for that full price given the circumstances of it breaking there as they were removing it. I told them how I felt but so be it- I'm not going to pursue it any further since I don't have the time and going to small claims court will just end up being more expensive. However, I'm hoping my review can at least help others who are shopping around for a good quality garage in Durham. read more

I wouldn't recommend, if you decide to use this place. Be prepared to pay more, than they give you a quote for. Poor customer service, and communication. Save time, and more go somewhere else. read more

Dropped my car off for some routine maintenance before a long road trip over the holidays. The staff was friendly, the work was done quick, and my car is running great. I also felt like the price was reasonable compared to some of the local shops I've tried out. I will definitely be bringing my other vehicles here for future repairs! read more

I had my check engine light come on. Took it to Pete's garage, they diagnosed the problem and repaired it quickly for a fair price and even fix my heat shield that rusted off They even drove me home while I waited for the repairs. Definitely a great place to take your car too. read more

I had to get two new tires and a state inspection. I was out in about 45 minutes. Everyone who worked there was friendly and professional. They made sure to take me back and show me a few suggested fixes and made sure to quote a price for me. Their prices for tired are very competitive and its a good local business to support. Highly recommended! read more

Brian and Patrick were recommended to me by family members and it was a wonderful one. They've maintained my older sedan (2004) for over two years and I have found them to be thorough and very customer centered. Assessing problems and offering solutions or suggestions to keep my vehicle in good shape for my extended commute. Prices are reasonable and they stand behind the work they do. I highly recommend these gentlemen. read more
