Auto Repair near Bolivia, NC

“My Martin's auto body shop experience was remarkable. While small and personal, this business provided professional, high-quality, and predictable on-schedule repair for my Mercedes. Based on my experience, there is no other Southport / Brunswick County body shop that can compare with the value provided by Martin's auto body.”

“My car had an oil leak. We were referred to Chris Matthews by friends on Oak Island. From my first introduction to Victoria on the phone, the process was outstanding. I dropped my car off and put the my key fob in the drop box. In addition to clear instructions given by Victoria, envelopes were readily available to leave your car details and any notes you wanted. Victoria called the next day to give me the price. They ordered and received the part quickly and I was on my way the next day. They also inspected my car. Everyone on site was most polite and friendly. This will be our new automotive service on Oak Island - can't say enough good things about the company.”

“On vacation and truck started making a noise. The AC stopped working. We tried 2 other shops and they were booked out a week or more on repairs. We just had it worked on prior to leaving for our trip. Someone at Clem’s suggested trying Wilson Speed across the road. Eric, the owner, was very nice. They were busy but, he said bring it in at 9am they’d look at it. I know he felt for us as we were going to be down there all week with no AC. We rented a truck for the day and they had it fixed that afternoon. Can’t say enough about this place helping us out. Thank you again.”

“Shoutout to Melissa and Billy for saving my life today- my check engine light came on an hour before I was supposed to leave on a big trip and they got me in, diagnosed, and fixed the issue in no time at all. My heroes!!”

“This by far the best repair shop I have found for automotive repairs I have found. I Have now used this shop and it continues to exceed my expectations. Honest, expertise at a reasonable price need I say more. I would give 6 stars if I could. Came through for me many a times.”

“Did a great job on short notice. Professional and friendly. Needed to have a rear caliper replaced. Did the job for a very reasonable price and replaced both sets of rear brake pads. Would go back to them if I ever need brake work.”

“Today was my first day using Victory Lane to get my Harley Davidson inspected, I was very impressed with their service technicians and how polite and professional they are, not to mention their facility was very clean and well organized. They say first impression is everything and I would definitely be back and use their services again. Great job Victory Lane!”

“Me and my family have had some bad luck with cars lately. Last month our Honda Civic was totaled while we were driving with our daughter in the car, everyone was fine but the vehicle. We weren't able to get anything for the car which was our daily driver, so we decided to fix up our old truck and get it moving again. We have had countless issues with the thing but my husband got it working and we made sure it was good to go through another mechanic.
We had to take it back again for a second alignment so something was off, but we got the thumbs up from the mechanic we saw in Lincolnton where we are living, so we started driving the old thing.
We decided to go for a day trip to the beach, and as we head about halfway there our abs sensor starts going off. We couldn't pin point the issue and it was too late to turn back, so we kept on moving. We were two mins away from Holden Beach when the car started to stall! We decided to find the nearest mechanic, which was Parrish automotive.
Immediately upon arrival, Chris and Travis greeted us and we were able to discuss the issues. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and confident in helping us. He got straight to the point. Travis was so outgoing, kind and respectful! You could tell the dude was super laid back and just plain friendly.
After a diagnosis we were told by Chris that he could get a part for our car but wouldn't be able to get to it until the morning. I booked a nearby hotel that allowed dogs because we literally had our entire family with us (me, my husband, our daughter and our lab mix). After booking, Chris mentioned he knew someone that had a nearby hotel which I thought was extremely considerate. I told him it was alright, that we found a dog friendly place available in shallote.
After all said and done and Chris took the keys, Travis actually offered us a ride to the beach in his truck! We were able to pack up all our things in there which was a lot of stuff, and give our four year old daughter and three year old dog an awesome afternoon as planned.
After two or so hours at the beach, we got a call from Chris. Turns out they were able to get the truck working that afternoon instead! Incredible. So guess what happened next? Travis was actually still in the area and came to pick us all back up, sandy and everything. This dude is so cool, seriously. They went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us. Unbelievable hospitality.
These guys have been in the neighborhood for generations as Travis explained on the ride, and I believe they hold great pride in their town and understand the true meaning of southern hospitality, as I now do understand and have experienced as well thanks to them. We are kinda obvious transplants with an out of state license plate, but that did not stop them from doing the most and being such kind and understanding people. I have never been so grateful, and this experience will be something I will remember and make sure to tell others about.
So, what was originally just a spontaneous day trip turned disaster, turned into a two day vacation with our car worries behind us. I wish I could do more for these guys, but I remember Travis saying in the ride back that things have been good to him, so he decided to give some good back. Pay it forward y'all!!! And thank you. Not only did y'all help us with our vehicle but you really showed us the way y'all do it around here, and I have nothing but respect for these guys.
Thanks again!
Ps, car is running great, zero issues. Our last mechanic took 8 hours and had us driving on a faulty wheel barring. Took Chris two hours and a phone call. Highly recommended.”

“Took my car in on Monday for alternator issues. This was my first time at this Boys Under the Hood location. I cannot say enough positive things about this shop. Great mechanic, great service, and went out of their way to help me out. I definitely recommend them highly.”

“This place is great. Excellent work at a great price. The first time I used them they saved me a tremendous amount on a repair over what the dealer quoted me. Highly recommend.”

“My vehicle was diagnosed by a dealership informing me I needed a new motor($6k). The recommendation seemed extreme. I then scheduled “Royal Coach repair” to perform a diagnostic. Their conclusion, replace two sensors. Done, great job. Back to my daily routine. Thanks Royal Coach for the stellar work.”

“This Tire and Auto is close to my home. It is an easy stop from Hwy 211 and 17 in Brunswick County. Terry welcomed me as I walked into the waiting area. I stopped by earlier than my appointment and had my car inside the bay for an inspection and oil change in minutes. The waiting area was comfortable and the people appeared to be focused on each vehicle they had because they did a good job getting the cars in and back out. I received a detailed list and prices of all Maintenance items they felt I needed. Jeff, the shop Manager was very thorough as he explained what they had found. I did not feel pressured, but a confident L & A would be here if I needed them for anything in the future. I felt valued as a customer and knew my business was important to them. I had a safety inspection, plus an oil and filter with synthetic oil for under $80.”

“Rick is a top-notch mechanic who genuinely cares for his customers and their vehicles. He goes above and beyond! We highly recommend.Services: Auto battery replacement”

“After the severe rain and flooding, the rear brakes of my Ford Escape sounded bad -- REALLY bad! I called several places for availability, yet most were booked until after the holidays or non-committal or wanted me to just drop it off. Even though there was a 20 minute wait, I showed up and explained my situation. Donna was kind, courteous, and did everything she could to help me. She assured me that the team would take care of me although it may take a little time to get the parts. What I thought would be an entire day of waiting, I was out in 2 hours! Even better, the price for was a lot lower than I expected. This was an early Christmas gift -- and I found my new go-to for repairs.”

“Great service, we could not ask for more. The team was very professional throughout the whole visit. I sure recommend this Jiffy Lube in Leland. They handled the vehicle registration and oil change wonderfully. We will be back! Kudos to Anthony, Zakiah, and Andre!Thanks guys,AlexandraService: Oil change”

“Brenda the office dispatcher and Ash the technician who arrived at my residence for doing the needed work were great in all their efforts. I have been fortunate for many years that the both of them and their services have been there for myself, my wife and my daughters when needed. Many thanks to them and D&D . I recommend them and D&D for all the services they offer”

“Pate's Tire totally saved me by plugging my tire. Super nice guy, cared about getting me back on the road. Can't thank him enough. Amazing the great people you meet on the road.”

“I came in last-minute on Friday evening about 6 pm because my tire pressure was low (on September 29, 2023). I don't recall his name, but the service technician quickly helped me and filled up the tires to my car. He didn't charge me either. I really appreciate the fast and friendly service.”

“Was able to install a battery into my Dodge Avenger which is above to wheel well out of view. Meineke wanted almost 400 bucks for a two year warranty battery and labor. Walmart installed a one year warranty battery for the price of just the battery, about 80 bucks. I have no complaints with the Leland NC store.”
