They even snuck in an emissions test when I did not need one, nor did I ask for one. I went in for an oil change, and tune up, it ran me $1250. I expected maybe $250, tops. I almost threw up when he told me the cost. Absolutely insane. Not knocking quality of work, I'd assume that's okay although I don't feel a difference in how it drives. I will always believe that all mechanics are absolute crooks and I wouldn't recommend a single one to anybody. I'd recommend getting a new car, change oil regularly and avoid mechanics at all cost. This place was no different. Appalled at my $1250 bill.

After charging me $1600.00 and he wanted to charge me 80$ to use my debit card so had to get a cashiers check. This was my mother picking it up cause I was out of state she's 73 years old. Drove it to Morehead to interstate battery cause he said it needed a new battery which they tested the battery and it had a full charge the car wouldn't start. Called thw shop and there response was have it towed back here and you can add the tow charge to the bill. Umm no. So my mother was stuck for three hours trying to get a ride home and figure out with to do with the car. So in other words they ripped me for $1600. Don't EVER EVER EVER GO TO PATRIOT AUTO. Karma will get him. ​

UPDATE: After a year (5 visits) I am absolutely amazed at…read morethe level of service I continue to receive from the service department! On my most recent visit I saw Brian Franks, and once again I received beyond exceptional service! It takes over an hour to drive to the dealership, an an hour to get back, but it's well worth it for the experience. There's another Honda dealership near me that's just a 5 minute drive from my house, but the service I get at Pecheles Honda is worth the extra 2 hours! My son had just left Navy boot camp and was looking for a used Honda, and I was also in the market for a new Civic. My son had checked several dealerships just wanting to test drive a used Civic, and he had a tough time finding one. Even though it was an hour away, I suggested he try Pecheles in New Bern because it's a Honda dealership (and we had an issue with the dealership in Greenville). My son went down and spoke with Joel Blizzard, and not only did they have a used Civic for him to test drive, he was treated like he was a real customer and not just some kid wasting his time. Joel spent a couple hours working with him, and he wound up buying a 2013 Civic for a great price, and even better financing! Because of how well Joel treated my son, I went down and talked to him about getting a new car for myself. I was very specific in what I was looking for, a 2016 Honda Civic Touring in Aegean Blue. When I came down and spoke with Joel, he was extremely helpful, and was doing everything he could to make sure I had a great experience. In fact everyone at this dealership was! Once we had everything worked out (and at an amazing price!) Joel did the hard work of finding (because of the specific requirements I wanted) the exact car I was looking for, having it transferred to the dealership, and even offered to drive it to my house! Now the second part of my review has to do with Chris Carmichael and Courtney Dixon in the service department, and the excellent service they have provided. Chris is the service manager, and Courtney is the advisor that has helped me whenever I have been down here. Courtney takes the time to make sure all of your needs/concerns are addressed, and listens to everything you have to say. I feel that if come down here for service, everything will be 100% taken care of, and I will be treated in the best possible way. The president of the dealership even reached out to me after I had sent an email about the excellent service I received to thank me for letting him know. This has been a wonderful experience all around, and it's no wonder their motto is "Making Customers For Life". And if it's not, it definitely should be!

In doing so I have dealt with every kind of repair shop / service out there, the good, the bad and the ugly. Jonathan Weis at Jonathan's Automotive Repair is without a doubt and by far the best of the best. Jonathan's concern for the safety of travelers is evident and Oriental North Carolina is most fortunate to have access to this level of service and professionalism in automotive care. My wife and I were visiting Oriental when a mechanical issue developed with my truck. Fortunately for us we were only a block away from Jonathan's. I brought my truck to him and rode along with Jonathan on the drive to diagnose the issue. Jonathan was able to quickly and accurately diagnose the problem as being the front left wheel bearing / hub assembly. I requested that both the left and right assemblies be replaced to keep them in common service states, Jonathan was able to accommodate that request. In tearing down the front end hub assemblies it was observed that there were issues with the front brakes that should also be addressed. Jonathan provided photos and recommendations as to the proper repairs. I requested that the brake repairs be completed along with pinion seals in the front and rear differentials that had developed leaks. Jonathan was able to complete all requested repairs in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. The communication, workmanship and cost of service were top notch. I live over ten hours from Oriental, however when future repairs are needed for my or my wife's vehicles, if possible, I will certainly come back to enjoy Oriental's unique atmosphere and Jonathan's excellent automotive repair services. Five star, 10 out of 10 and best of the best. Thank you Jonathan! p.s. I am posting this from my wife's account.
