Awesome customer service and very reliable people. I have use this garage for many years ranging…read morefrom oil change to small repairs and they have always done a great job and charged fair price-definitely lower than big chain repair shops. Last weekend, I found a rattling noise coming from the back of my car. I was worried about driving it and thought about bringing it to a big chain auto repair shop which opens on weekends. I am so glad I didn't because it would have cost me a pretty penny. I brought the car to Couch on Monday morning, they took a look right away, secured the heat shield from the exhaust and I am on my way! They didn't charge me anything because I am a loyal customer! You just don't find honest and nice repair shop like this anymore, I highly recommend it!

It ended up being a stripped bolt on the front left sway bar link that attached to the subframe. I am impressed with their attention to detail on this, and I appreciate that they really wanted to get it resolved. They also didn't charge me for any of the work, which included a brake flush to fix the brake issue I noticed after the first repair. I highly recommend them, and I think it says a lot about a business when they own a mistake and fix it. Thanks guys!

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.

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)

Took my car there at 8:30am Thursday morning... they had a new radiator top and bottom hoses installed by 3pm SAME DAY. Cost was tonally inline with what I saw the parts available for online. I've done a radiator swap or three myself back in the day so I know what's involved there. Price was super fair. These guys rock.. 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!

Tri-City Auto Warning: Dishonest Service, Scammers, Voided Refund, and Vehicle Put at Risk"…read more It's rare that I leave negative reviews, but my experience with Tri City Auto was a complete nightmare. They charged me $773 for faulty work based on a diagnostic they never properly performed. I was told my Q3 Audi needed a thermostat--only to later learn it didn't. The part was ordered incorrectly three times, delaying repairs. I was then told by Jennifer McCormick, I should be grateful she did not charge me for their mistake because it cost them money. My car was initially promised back the same day but wasn't returned for two days. The day after pickup, my car wouldn't start, I was able to get a battery jump, to make it to Jiffy Lube (less than 1 mile away) for a battery replacement. Within minutes the dashboard lights lit up, smoke billowed from under the hood and fluid poured from the bottom of the car. Jiffy Lube discovered the intake hose hadn't been properly reconnected--posing serious safety risks to me and others as I was about to travel out of town. Tri City agreed to tow the car back and offered a loaner, which was the only positive experience. They eventually admitted the thermostat wasn't ever needed and said they'd issue a refund. The owner can also express sometimes things just happen and things can go wrong. However, the refund receipt was vague, and when I asked for clarification, shop supervisor Jennifer McCormick responded unprofessionally--handwriting unclear notes on the receipt. I followed up via text, simply requesting confirmation of the refund details. Within minutes, Ken McCormick, the owner, called me with a hostile tone, stating, "I already told you what the refund was for." Despite having printed documentation and screenshots of the initial refund, Ken and the Tri-City team ultimately reversed and voided the promised refund transaction. I had to take my car to another repair shop, where the technicians expressed serious concerns about the work Tri-City performed. All dashboard lights are now on, and there appears to be additional electrical damage. I've already lost over a week of access in my car, now using LYFT and incurred more than $1k in additional repair costs--potentially even more. Tri City Auto is dishonest, unethical, and extends dangerous. I would never trust them with my vehicle again and strongly advise others to avoid this shop. what they are doing to people is so unfair and I would not wish this treatment on anyone.

The experience ended up being anything but ordinary. Charlie, his wife, and the entire staff made me feel like I had been coming there for years, they made me feel welcomed, and made me feel like my old car mattered just as much as any top-dollar vehicle in their bay. What stood out right away was the care they showed. It wasn't just for the care, but to me as the owner. They took time to explain what they were doing, stayed professional, and treated the whole situation with genuine respect. It's not a flashy place at all. I'll be honest - and they are too, that's what matters. Confidence in the way they run things. It's not about pushing extra services or rushing you through. It's about doing the job right and making sure you feel good driving away. I left with more than a car in tip top shape, I left with trust. That's rare. This is where I'll be sending my friends and family from now on.

Decided that sounded a bit off for a Subaru Forester with 5 years and only 66k miles on it, and no evidence to me that I'd ever had a leak, so I brought it to Charlie. He did a really thorough diagnostic workup, found it was a PCV valve, and replaced just that, saving me thousands. They're also kind, personable, communicative, and realistic about when they can get work done and they then meet those promises. Going to C&C is a hike for me but I won't take my car anywhere else for any real work I need in the future. C&C is the best!

While I was there I mentioned I had smelled a burning rubber smell recently so asked them to check it. They said it looked like my transmission was leaking so they referred me to Cottman's. I didn't know they normally require appointments so I just went in yesterday afternoon and explained the situation to the woman at the front desk. The owner was in the back and heard what I said and told her I needed to be moved to the front of the line. If I truly had a leak it was extremely flammable so he wanted them to immediately check it instead of sending me away to come back later because there was a chance my car could catch on fire and he didn't want to risk that happening. A mechanic immediately came and checked my car. After their inspection they said I had a few oil leaks, it wasn't my transmission and I could drive it without risk of it catching on fire. They referred me to the mechanic next door since they don't fix oil leaks there. While I didn't end up getting anything done, I really appreciated their sense of urgency and concern. The inspection they did was free which was nice. If I have any transmission issues in the future (which fingers crossed I don't) I would absolutely come back here.
