“Fantastic no nonsense service. No pushy sales for ridiculous repairs unlike other auto shops. Really happy with the service. I went there with a had AC and it fixed with just a relay change. Thank you, Rob.”
“Great experience! Brought my 2017 Chevy Cruze in for a new Turbo and hose. Team had good communication and helpful. After hours drop-off & pick-up makes it easy. Highly recommend!”

“Jerrold is fantastic. He explains exactly what's wrong with your car in terms you can understand and tells you which repairs can wait and which need to be done asap. I can't recommend his shop highly enough.”

“My check engine light turned on and off several times so I took the car in. They checked everything, found no problem, charged me nothing. And the light is no longer coming on. Good guys.”
“The shop rebuilt the transmission on my 2003 Dodge Caravan at a great price — it’s running perfectly now! We truly appreciate their excellent service, especially William, who was professional, kind, and responsible throughout the process.”
“I have had a repeat issue with my clutch pedal, and I took it to Charlie’s so they could see what is wrong with it. I worked with Edgar, and from our first conversation, I felt so comfortable with him, and he made this whole process so easy. He explained everything I needed to know, and he is so kind and courteous. Having my car out of commission is stressful, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was able to solve my issue, and I know who I’m going to call if I have any other transmission issues as my car gets further into her golden years. Thank you, Edgar!!”
“I'm from out of town and my truck broke down on the side of the highway in the construction zone in rush hour traffic. I was barely off the road and in a real bind to not get hit and with being hours from anyone that could help. I was lucky enough that it was directly below this shop. I walked up at 4:56 and the owner was under the hood of a vehicle trying to get finished and leave at 5 to pick up his kids. I told him the bind I was in and took a minute to get my some supplies and a part I needed, and told me what to do to hopefully get back going. It all worked and I got out of there and made it back. I was so thankful for his help and the extra time and money he saved me. I would trust this shop with anything needed.”

“Great guy, super nice. Inspected our vehicle quickly and didn't overcharge. Took under 10 minutes and had a lovely indoor seating space that was super warm during the winter. Crowded parking lot, so somewhat hard to get in, but everything else is wonderful!”
“Just went for a State Inspection but everyone was so nice, friendly, and accommodating. It didnt take long at all but the best part was Duke - a large black lab male dog who greeted me at the desk and that is a huge perk! This was my first time here but I will definitely be back for any future needs!”
“After visiting several shops that gave me outrageous estimates for an engine problem, the folks at Payne's fixed it for just a fraction of what other places would've charged. Nate and his team were very thorough; they communicated detailed updates and explained the steps they took throughout the troubleshooting and repair of my vehicle. They found an optimal solution for something that was over-diagnosed elsewhere, and gave excellent service for an honest price. I will be back in the future.”

“Turbo charger repair done by these guys and they don’t mess around. Staff is amazing, service and repair was quick; they really get you in and out in a timely manner. And, don’t let me leave out the fair pricing. Thank you Jennifer for all your help. Highly recommend.”
“Good service for a quick & cheap tire plug. Paid a fraction of the price for a job that equally took a fraction of the time of a nearby competitor. Highly recommend anyone to come here first for tire issues”
“After hitting a curb, trying to get into the car park at Duke clinic in the early morning I came out after a full day of tests and appointments to very low tire. There was no way I was gonna make it home to Wilson! The crew at the Chapel Hill tire on Hillsborough Road not only checked my tire, they fixed it 45 min after they had already closed! Gave my son a hot wheel and sent us on our way with no charge! They were so kind about all of it!”
“There was a problem with a cylinder of my car. I got it fixed around 200 dollar ish here, and another mechanic had quoted about 800 dollars. The service was prompt.”

“These guys saved the day, fixed the A/C to my lexus within a couple of hours. I had taken the vehicle to another shop that quoted me $1600 telling me to replace everything from a/c compressor, line, condenser, and a/c control unit. It turned out all the car needed was just a/c freon service. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“I just want to take a moment to truly appreciate an amazing mechanic and an even more amazing family-run business. Mr. Sheldon and his son Phillip have been taking care of my vehicles for over 25 years now, and at this point, they are truly considered family. When I first met them, I was going through a very difficult time as a single parent with three small children under the age of five. Not only did Mr. Sheldon make sure I had a reliable car to get to work, but he also found ways to bless me with resources to help care for my family. That kind of compassion and generosity is something I will never forget. No matter the issue—transmissions, carburetors, batteries, stuck windows, oil changes, and more—they always get the job done with excellence and efficiency. They’ve even taken the time to check out cars for me before I make a purchase, which has saved me from making costly mistakes.
What really stands out is their heart. They always make time for me, get me back on the road quickly, and have even provided me with a car to use when a repair was going to take longer than expected. That level of care is rare. And if there’s ever something they can’t fix, their strong reputation in the community speaks for itself—they connect you with other trusted professionals who do amazing work, from tire services to more. That kind of network and integrity is priceless. Not only are they dependable, but they are also very affordable, which makes their service even more of a blessing.
It’s not just me—they treat everyone I send their way with the same respect, honesty, and dedication. Today, they are even my children’s go-to, and I have such peace knowing they have someone I trust to take care of them when it comes to their vehicles. I truly love and appreciate Mr. Sheldon and Phillip, and I pray that God will super exceed them with a wealth of blessings for the way they serve others with integrity and kindness. If you’re looking for trustworthy, dependable service, this is the place to go!”

“Just moved to VA/NC from FL this man took great care of my car and fixed my issue honestly. He will do you right and I’d absolutely recommend to anyone! 11/11
Thank you”
“I would recommend Lee and his team 100%.
I can’t say enough good things about this mechanic shop! From the moment I walked in, I was treated with honesty, professionalism, and genuine care. They took the time to explain exactly what was going on with my car, answered all of my questions, and never once made me feel pressured into unnecessary repairs.
The work was exceptional, the communication was fantastic, and the pricing was fair and transparent. It’s incredibly refreshing to find a mechanic you can actually trust and alsosomeone who treats your car like it’s their own and their customers like family.”
“I brought my car in thinking I had a transmission issue, and they checked it out quickly and thoroughly. Turns out, I didn’t need any work done — and they were completely honest about that. No upselling, no scare tactics, just straight answers and professionalism. They were quick, reliable, and clearly put integrity over profit. That kind of honesty is rare in auto repair, and I wouldn’t hesitate to come back if I ever do need work.”
