They were on top of it right away. Told me it may take a few hours which it was done a lot faster then expected.

Chris and Peyton helped get my wife’s car diagnosed and repaired faster than the dealership by over a week! We’ve brought just about every car we’ve owned to Garner Auto specialists and they’ve always been helpful. Thank you again for your services!

Warren Byrd

These guys are great. Always get right to work on what I need done. Great attitudes with everyone I have had dealings with. Will keep coming back for everything I need on my vehicles!

tim goodwin

Quality parts, certified technicians and great customer service. What more can you ask for when you need car repair.

Jeffery Batts

I had quite a bit to do on my wife’s cars. Payton, and Chris were great to deal with. The price was pretty close to the original diag quote. Obviously, there were some unexpected changes to the process when dealing with an older car, a 2011 Honda Accord, with some old rusty parts. These guys worked with it and got stuff done. All in all, I have been coming here for maybe a year, and I have not felt like I was getting taken advantage of. So I feel like they deserve a thumbs up from me. Thanks guys! Keep it up.!

Michael Webb

I always go here for my inspections and they are quick, friendly and inexpensive.

Jessica Baird

My first visit to Garner Auto Specialists was very pleasant. Went in for an oil change on my Volvo XC90. Was greeted upon arrival, wait time wasn’t long at all, and had enjoyable conversations with some of the other patrons. This will be my go to spot for my future auto needs!

Vonda Horton

Chris and his team are excellent to deal with on any repair issue They explain what has to be done and provide a fair and competitive price.

Not only did the guys at Garner Auto Specialists do a great job preparing my car for my summer vacation, they rescued a kitten stuck under another customer's car. So they're humanitarian as well!!! As always, I was very pleased with my service.

Was looking for a new shop since Meineke decided to let a junkie run the place into the ground (god I miss Tim). Gave Chris at Garner Auto Specialists a shot, and I really am happy I did!

I happened to be in Garner for an appointment and as I was leaving I saw Garner Auto Specialists. I needed an inspection so I made a U-turn, pulled in and a nice young man directed me to a bay. He said maybe 20 minute wait but it was less than that. They inspected my car, pulled it around and I was out in no time! Very friendly and professional! Very pleased and will be back!

Kathy Blake

Very satisfied

Very friendly and quick.

Richard Benbow

I’ve been using Garner Auto Specialists since I moved here almost 2 years ago. I cannot emphasize enough how much they have helped me through having to buy a new vehicle and providing service and advice on my old one as it was dying. Chris sat down with me and looked at car fax for the car I was considering getting as a replacement. Peyton is always helpful at the reception and providing advice. Andrew completed my new car inspection and was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. These guys are honest and quality. I recommend them to everyone.

Becca

Took my car to another shop (I knew I shouldn’t have lol), and they couldn’t diagnose or repair it. After just one day, Chris and his team at Garner Auto Specialist had it diagnosed, repaired, and back on the road. Always appreciate their attention to detail!

I appreciate that when I go in and say, "I need 'X' fixed" there is never any upsell on extra services. If anything is brought up it is more of a heads-up. They have been truly flexible with both my truck and my wife's car when it has come to our repairs, and that is greatly appreciated.

Marcus Watlington

I would most certainly recommend Garner Auto Specialists to anyone.

Shell Teresa

Quickly diagnosed the issues with my van and even helped me find a place to sell it for parts when the repairs were far more than the vehicle was worth. (Never buy a Dodge!)

Sarah Connor

This place had responsive employees that actually made eye contact when they spoke to you. They were fast and gave me an honest diagnostic. I was very pleased with them. If I lived in the area I would use them again!

Trust is difficult to find in an auto mechanic, but I trust Chris, A.J. and the staff 100 percent. Wouldn’t take my vehicle anywhere else.

Lee Montgomery

I had to come in super last minute for a safety inspection and everyone was so kind and worked quickly! They were very thorough and helped answer all my questions honestly. I will need maintenance done within the next 6 months and plan on coming right back here for all of it! Prices were extremely reasonable also!

Mellissa Smith

I once witnessed the owner of Garner Auto Specialists talking about his new truck he bought to a customer. The customer was looking to buy a truck like the owner's and the owner grabbed his keys and gave them to the customer and told the customer to take the owner's truck for a spin to see how the customer liked it. It was a wholesome moment and showed a lot of trust.

Ed

I have been bringing my fleet truck here for several years and always get the best service. They get me in and out quickly and always friendly service. Chris is very personable and has the best technicians around

Patriot Red

The best and most trustworthy mechanics I’ve ever worked with. One time, after leaving Planet Fitness up the road I saw my tire was flat. GAS was the closest mechanic so I hobbled my way there. They changed my tire and added air to the rest of them for free. Another time my car had a check engine light on and I went to a different mechanic on the weekend who wanted 1800$ to fix it. Wanted a second opinion and went to GAS who told me there was an open recall on the problem I had. Got it fixed for free at the dealership, thanks to this business. Would have never known otherwise. I love this business and will always refer friends and family here. Thanks GAS

Michael Nolan

Chris at the front desk was super friendly and informative, and clearly explained everything really well. Normally I go to car mechanics and feel intimidated or talked down to, but I had a GREAT experience here, definitely will come again for future car needs!

Zara Souvanlasy

We have been dealing with Chris and the guys at Garner Auto Specialists for years. They are friendly, honest, straight up, knowledgeable, experienced and totally professional. We highly recommend them!

Don Schaap

Nice, friendly, dependable service.

Julie Lynch

Always good food. Fast service. Very clean

Ray Grimes

This is an automovie repair shop that you rarely come across nowadays. Their customer service, as well as their work, is first rate. Their prices are fair. They are one of the only repair shops that give dealership quality service and repairs without dealership prices. I highly recommend Garner Auto for all services.

GW Tyler

This group of guys is one of the nicest bunch of people that you could ask for when getting your car taken care of. Chris, the service manager is just one of the nicest guys he'll ever meet and he even came to my house personally to give me my wheel lock back when he realized that his tech didn't put it in my truck and they had the wrong phone number for me. He drove out to my house personally on the same day to make sure I had it. That's why I always go to these guys really great service!

Patrick Goodmon

Inspections and Emissions, near Garner, North Carolina

Came in for an inspection on my 2018 f-150. I arrived a few minutes after 4:30. Talked to AJ and Chris and found that the cut off for service is 4:30. Chris told me the policy and said he would check with the guys and see if one of the technicians would take it in and complete the service. They promptly got it in and completed the service. Just wanted to really thank AJ, Chris and staff for going over and beyond to satisfy the customer. Chris and staff have been servicing my vehicles for years. If you are looking for a good honest group to take care of your automobile needs, Garner Auto Specialist should be your guys. Best regards,

David Stallings

Garner Auto Specialist is the ONLY place I will take my vehicle for service! I have a 2015 Tahoe and am pretty sure it's haunted. :) It does all kinds of strange things and Chris and his team are always willing to go the extra mile to help resolve my issues. I've used them for oil changes, inspections, major AC repairs, electrical issues and everytime they EXPLAIN what's going on and have never once tried to upsell me on something. They are a group of good and honest mechanics and I highly recommend them! *Edited to add that I think some of the bad reviews on here are actually for a different shop in Garner with a similar name. *

Stephanie Bennett

Ngl I thought this place was just a regular oil changing place. I was really impressed by their customer service and how they spoke to their customers. I may want to steal some of their employees to come work at my shop.

Mikey Free

Like the car wash.

Andres Maldonado

Fast inspection service, no appointment needed. Would recommend!

Larry Kornegay

MICHELLE C

Great guys, great shop, incredibly professional. Had some work done and the manager was very transparent on what needed doing. However, a women came in with a 2 year old 3 series beamer and was quite rude. Overall, I would highly recommend this auto shop.

I brought my car here a year or so ago when the bumper got detached after going over a curb wrong and they were extremely helpful in getting me up and running and recommending a good auto body shop. On that experience I recently went here for inspection and they were extremely fast and helpful. Great staff and service.

James J.R. Koban

Professional from start to finish. Especially the manager Chris.

John Kilduff

If you're worried if this is just another corner auto shop, then you will be mistaken (like I was). Very clean, respectful people, and reasonably priced for auto maintenance and repair.

S L

Mr. Chris is awesome

Cassetta Scott

Electrical Services, near Clayton, NC

Chris and his team are great! Like many people, I have trust issues with mechanics because of experiences with dishonest ones in the past. My preferred mechanic is in north Raleigh, which is not convenient when I live in Clayton so finding a reputable one was important. Chris was able to get me in within the hour on a Friday to look at my driver-side front window that had failed. He also was very communicative about the whole issue and was able to accommodate my schedule. I feel like I can actually trust them with my car, and I really appreciate that!

Jenna Cardellicchio

Quick Lube Services

This is one of my favorite places to take my car. I have taken it a while back for an inspection and decided to get my oil change here and employees are professional they are quick and they even fixed my tire pressure error without me asking. They are a great auto shop to go to!

Jessica Pischke

I having been living in Garner for almost 19 years and have been taking my vehicles here the entire time and they are wonderful. Their work and customer service is first rate! Chris ( manager) and his team are not only efficient, but timely as well. Would certainly recommend them to anyone who needs their vehicles serviced by a quality group.

Eric Saunders

Being new to NC this shop was great would go back again

Robert W Lanza

I only had a pre-purchase inspection here but you could tell by the way customers came and went how they were greeted and how happy they were to see Chris that this must be a special mechanic shop.

Ted Schoenling

There super understanding of your time and your needs.

Josh Adolphsen

Best customer service, honest on repairs, really looking out for me and my truck. I would recommend this business to anyone.

Ken Cook

Being a mechanic of many years and knowing what it's like daily these guys here are great. I trust them and respect the level of expertise and knowledge. If you want piece of mind and comfort knowing it's been done correctly you won't go wrong here. Happily send my family and friends and know they will be treated like I would if I was working on the same car. Our company vehicles get almost everything done here exclusively. Only issue I ever have is there closed on Saturday.

Nathan Pope

Richard Shipe

Best auto service company in town.

Ben Haulotte

We live close to Garner Auto Specialists and recently while I was driving my kids to daycare I got a flat tire. I pulled over into the shop and asked if I could get my tire replaced. Seeing the situation I was in, they went completely above and beyond in getting my tire replaced within 2 hours. They even had someone drive the car back to my house after the work was completed. I was blown away by their helpfulness, compassion, and efficiency.

Katharine Hanson

Raleigh, North Carolina

I took my car to Garner Auto Specialist because another repair shop told me my car needed front and rear brake pads and rear rotors. Even though Chris and his crew were very busy they took time to check my brakes, and informed me I didn't need a brake job, no charge. Everyone at Garner Auto Specialist are friendly and knowledgeable, but best of all they are honest. They have won me over, they will be doing any vehicle repairs I need. I highly recommend them.

Tom Hypes

Garner, North Carolina

The BEST!!! Honest, Dependable and Trustworthy and I don't say this lightly! I have had my share of messy mechanics and employees that don't do what they say they are going to do.. Chris and the rest of the crew are top notch! From getting the work done to accommodating my weird work hours! Always texting me to let me know what is going on!.. A true blessing in this no service atmosphere.. They are all about service!! Highly recommend!!

Sallie Gossett

Great service and really awesome guys here!! They do a good job!

Melanie Hughes

Inspections and Emissions, near Garner, NC

Chris and his team were polite and prompt. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Chris the moment I entered their customer service office. I came in for an NC State Inspection. I waited for them to complete the safety inspection. The waiting room was clean and welcoming. I watched as they thoroughly walked-thru the required items on the list. While waiting, I inquired about other services in the future, such as A/C repair and other general maintenance. Chris provided clear details on my next steps and the 2 ASE Certified Mechanics on staff. In addition, I plan to visit Garner Auto Specialists again in the near future.

Ian F.

Great service! They take pride in caring for the needs of your vehicle. Staff is courteous and professional! Best place around for car care!

Kathy James

Fair and honest. Will likely return.

Christopher Doerner

Chris and his staff are very honest people! They truly want to do what will be best for your car, not what is most expensive. My husband and I have been here several times for our vehicles, Chris and his staff are ALWAYS friendly and helpful. My husband actually dropped his wallet in the parking lot and one of the employees found it and turned it in to Chris. Chris made every attempt to contact us to make sure we knew that he had his wallet secure in his safe whenever we were able to make it by. On his day off, he saw my husband walking by and ran out to give him his wallet. I have never had a bad experience here and I will continue to go here! They are truly the best.

Saarah Qasrawi

Brakes and tires long overdue. Not only is this shop close to my house, the reviews were great. Chris Allen did a great job getting me an appointment, keeping in touch, and making it as easy as possible. Highly recommend doing business here.

Will definitely be back!

Casey Webb

I'm on the way toward my farm and the oil light came on so I stopped in. This is my first time there. All the guys there were so kind toward me. Thank you for that.

Mai Mclean

We were on the road traveling from VA to a gig I had booked in Garner. Somewhere north of Durham we knew the alternator was bad. It was a Saturday and the shop closed at 2:00pm. The mechanic I spoke to on the phone said they would wait if I got there before closing time. They were absolutely remarkable. They already had the part ready to install when we pulled in about ten minutes before two. It should also be noted that we had been driving for hours and the van was coming in very hot to work on. But they never flinched. Not once. They treated us like we had a top of the line Mercedes Benz. Their prices were very reasonable, they did an excellent job and they took care of two weary travelers. The van was done in a very short order and we made it to the church on time to setup for the evening performance. I live in Pennsylvania and travel quite a bit as a musician, performer, storyteller. I don't know when I will be back in Garner, but I would highly recommend this shop to anyone. Just a fantastic experience.

Jeff Raught

Honest, reliable, fair prices. I will be using them again and strongly reccomend them.

TonyFtLaud *

Great place for any vehicle need. I've been here for oil changes and tire replacement. The staff is very friendly and will present all of your options before doing anything to your vehicle. Highly recommend.

Best in the business! I wouldn't take my cars anywhere else.

Rachel Pantke

They are always helpful and friendly!

Kelly Marin

Chris fit me into the schedule after an appt with Mr. Tire got cancelled because their AC machine broke. We ended up getting the refrigerant filled knowing that in a few weeks we would have to come back so they could see where the leak was. Chris quickly called to tell me the problem, offered really good options, overall made me feel he had our best interest in mind and promised to do it as quickly and efficiently as possible as labor was the bulk of the pricing. Overall AWESOME experience and our family will be going back.

Shiana Humphrey

Tires, near Raleigh, North Carolina

I can't say enough good things about Chris and the team at Garner Auto Specialists! I heard about them through a friend. When she became a widow they took VERY good care of her! I thought I would try them out and I've been very impressed! Every time I need something done with my Lincoln, I contact them FIRST! If they do it, they help me out. The service is TOP NOTCH and they don't gauge you on the price! Way to go guys!

Jennifer S Duvall

They have always done a great job.

I know this review is long and I don't write reviews very often, but I felt very compelled to write this one. Too many times we are all guilty of just writing reviews when things go really, really wrong. We forget to make sure when someone has went out of their way to make a meaningful difference in our day to day lives to make sure we say "thank you" in a meaningful way back! I was doing the last minute things before going on a very long road trip to see family that usually takes us about 2000 miles on our van before we pull back in the drive way. So making sure our van is "road trip ready" is a must. I have used the Garner Auto Specialist for many years. They have always been very honest, professional and their customer service is exemplary. On July 23,2020, was a perfect example of what I mean, I had came by the day before to get my inspection and i had recently had some trouble with my battery and my van failed the inspection. They told me to drive it several miles and come back and they could read the codes again and it will probably pass. I did what they told me and came back on July 23. I pulled in and Tom Sawyer greeted me and as he was taking notes about what I needed, He just happened to glance down and pointed to a nail in my front driver tire! His coworker Matt Baver came over to help too! They knew about my long trip so they had me pull forward so they could check all my tires! Thank God because they found a second nail in the same tire! The good news was I had not had the nails long and they had only penetrated the exterior rubber and my tire was not compromised at all. Tom and Matt's sharp eye to detail and going the extra mile in honesty and professional customer service saved me from getting stranded on the side of the road on my long trip across several state lines. I can not thank them enough! I would also like to thank Chris Allen- the store manager because I have seen him lead by example over the years in professionalism, honesty and customer service! THANK YOU,

Wanda M.

Excellent service, prompt response upon arrival, courteous and knowledgable staff. Will be returning and recommending.

Wanda McCann

Wonderful experience. Very professional, timely and reasonably priced.

Chris

Very Quick regarding the issue on my vehicle. I had a bad wheel bearing and they took me in right then and there and it took them not even an Hour to replace. Very Professional and organized. I'd highly recommend Garner Auto Specialist for your Mechanical needs, Also speak with Chris to get a good quick quote on your estimated cost for your repairs.

Christian Lupo

My first time here. The person who helped me was great and even set me up to pick up my car after they closed. And the job was done perfectly!

Lillie Utley

Went there for an inspection. But they were nice and professional. Get a carwash afterwards. Convenient location

Went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I have had tires, brakes, and an oil change done here and the quality of the work was excellent and the turnaround quick.

Great people, great service. I needed a repair beyond their scope and they referred me to a great Auto Shop. WOW! Fast oil/filter change and tire rotation too.

Theresa Maynard

I took our car in for an inspection. There were a few things wrong with it, but they were able to handle it in a timely matter and went above and beyond! I would highly recommend them to others, and I will be going back.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Chris and his crew are the best! They are thorough, knowledgeable and masters at what they do! Best of all they will not try and sell you a service or part that you do not need. Fantastic auto repair shop and I will be a live long customer!

Awesome company. They always have time to get me in. We are a time sensitive company. If my trucks don't run, I can't make money. GAS does everything in their power to keep my vehicles running in top shape. Their prices are fair and the service is great.

jim baker

Great service with a smile! Reasonable prices with quality service. Highly recommend.

John David

Can't say enough nice things about this place. Every time I go I feel like they truly care about my business and my car. Will always pick them over a chain.

LeeAnne Quattropani

Quick service. Seems honest.

Jonathan Yiv

A great local place for Garner residents. NC Inspection Certified. Staff is friendly and waiting area is clean. You can always get up and walk to McDonald's or Big Ed's for a bite if the work you are getting done is going to take a bit longer. Keep it local Garner!

Damon McWalters

I had my car inspected here at Garner Auto Specialists. I did not have to wait. They got me in and out. They were very friendly and professional. The waiting area was clean and the parking area was clean also. I needed new wiper blades before passing inspection. Mine had split. But, their replacement was more than I was going to pay. They said if I go buy them, they would put them on for me. I appreciated that!

Deborah McDougal

I had my truck inspected there today and was beyond impressed by the service I received. An employee met me at the truck almost before I got stopped. He took my truck and they got it right in a bay. The tech who inspected it was super polite. The manager spoke and thanked me for choosing them to inspect my vehicle. In a day of little to no customer service this business knows how to treat the customer.

Steve Gillikin

Courteous, personal service, trustworthy staff and thorough work

Amy Jones

These mechanics are honest and won't try to sell you something you don't need. I'm very happy doing business with them!

Daniel Barrett

I'm on the way towards Farm. The oil light came on so I stopped in. It was my first time in and all the guys there were so kind towards me. Thank you for that.

Mai Mclean

Great fleet maintenance

Joseph Whitfield

I was 3 hours away from my house when I started experiencing vehicle problems. I stopped in and the staff was friendly and very helpful. They quickly fixed my problem and I got back on my way! I would definitely recommend this company!

Tiffany Morton

Best and friendliest in the area. Second post here, just got new tires recommended for all terrain on our 08 Ford Explorer , alignment check, I-40 check, Falken Rubitrek rides very smooth and quiet! Another fine job by the owners and crew at GAS! third post here, just got the 90k service, another fine job , your staff are incredible!

First class auto care center! I was 3hrs away from home experiencing vehicle problems. I stopped at Garner Auto Specialists and they quickly fixed my problem allowing me to continue my trip. Very nice staff. I would recommend to family

I don't know what I'd do without Garner Auto Specialists. I've had a lot of issues with my car and they always quote me a fair price and get the job done quickly. I can't say enough good things about their service!

Kathy

Great service and great people.

R J.

I went in for an oil change, and because I had a leak of some sort. The oil change came with an inspection, and the staff noted some additional issues with my vehicle - some require more immediate attention than others. I didn't feel pressured to accept any of their recommendations. I also thought the staff were super friendly! I'll be back for sure. I signed up for the rewards program and received a free $14 car wash.

Samantha R.

Great service, I had an issue after a repair, and I took it back. They fixed it right away with out any sort of hassle. I will go there again.

Curtis M.

I stopped by for an inspection during my lunch hour. The entire experience was positive. The staff was friendly, professional, and quick. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.

Dane S.

Love this place and have been going since 2004. It was good then, but under Chris, it has become even better. I trust this shop with all of my vehicles and just purchased an F150, which I will now be taking to Garner Auto Specialists for all repairs and service. You can't go wrong taking your vehicles to this shop.

Glenn E.

I took my car in for its annual inspection and was out in ten minutes. They even vacuumed the inside of my car for me at no charge. I go here for all my major car service needs. The people are friendly and trustworthy.

Linda L.

Just went there for an oil change today. VERY quick turnaround. From the time I walked in to the time I walked out was under 20 minutes. Overall, I was very pleased with the level of customer service I received and the cleanliness of your facility.

Al B.

Great staff and quick honest service.

Jay S.

Really nice and efficient.

Kathryn R.

Always great service...

K P.

I can't say enough good things about these guys. Brought my truck in for the first time for a tune up and some other basic maintenance. They treated me with respect as if I had been a long time customer and gave me a quick and thorough estimate, without trying to sell me things I didn't need. They charged a very reasonable price for the work they did, and Chris called me the following day to make sure everything was running smoothly.Quick, friendly, and fairly priced service from honest people that do great work, and it's evident they care about their customers. I will definitely be back for any future auto repairs or maintenance.

Jesse D.

Brought my son's old Toyota in to have a tune up and they found a serious problem that was the cause of the bad running. They were able to fix the problem and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. The car drives so much better now, seems a shame to sell it! They were also honest about my car, and recommended a transmission specialist - turns out they were very good too. I like honesty and fair play - that's what you get here (occasional free car wash is nice too!). I will be bringing my car here for its 50k service.

Les Short - Garner, NC

Everyone at GAS is great, but today, Danny is my hero! I bought a car a few months ago and was having trouble with the factory remote start. I took my car in to the shop expecting a repair, but it took Danny about 5 minutes to realize it was user error. He showed me what I was doing wrong, and I was on my way! I definitely recommend going to Garner Auto Specialists.

Lori Prince - Garner, NC

Chris, I can not thank you enough for all your help today! This is now the 2nd time I have brought my vehicle to you after being told by another service station (walking distance to my job) that it was going to "take a lot of work" and "costs could run @ $2,000 and up" to repair. Only to find out that what I was told to be the problem actually wasn't and your team was able to fix for me for MUCH less! As a single woman and being new to the area I was very nervous and didn't really know who I could trust with my car; however, after reading reviews and talking with you and your staff in person, I felt very comfortable. I am confident now that I have the right people working on my car!

Denise S. - Garner

Customer Service is unheard of in this day and age. Garner Auto Specialist are the last of a dying breed. They are professional, experienced, expedient with repairs done with great quality. Most of all the customer service is fantastic. My first visit was by chance, but I knew I would be back by the way I was treated while I was there by Michelle and most definitely would be back after I received a personal follow up call to ensure I had no further problems. Definitely a satisfied customer whom will continue to patronize this shop.

R Royal - Garner NC

The absolute best auto repair shop I've ever used! Work is done quickly and correctly at a fair price. The folks are friendly and the customer service is great. Do yourself a favor and give them a try! You won't be sorry!

We needed a rear tail light replaced in a hurry since we were leaving town. Garner Auto came through with flying colors once again for us.THANKS.

Chris and his staff always treat us as a person and not a number. Thanks for your help.

This is the place to take your vehicle for service or repair! Great work, great customer service, great attitude and all done at a fair price!!! I will not take my truck any place else.

Jim W.

I arrived for a State Emissions/Safety Inspection. The inspection was complete, and I was out the door, in no more than 15 minutes. It was nice to receive prompt, courteous service!

Justin S.

Their staff have always been very helpful and honest. I took on the job of repairing my own air conditioning system in my car, and the technicians walked me through the process and refilled it for me when I was done. I take my car there for everything now.

Richard W. V.

Wonderful as always!! They're the only people I let work on my vehicles. They have always been fair, up front and (most important to me as a single female) NEVER done work that didn't need to be done. Love these guys!!!!!

The employees here are helpful and provide excellent advice on the service needs of your car. I was very pleased with their work the first time, and have continued to patronize them for this reason.

Mana K.

I have always taken my cars here to get inspected and they are nice guys. Repair shops are always expensive, but these guys are the best in Garner!
