Auto Tech

Took in my 2020 Blazer with under 60k miles that was making a squeeling noise when I was accelerating. After explaining the noise over the phone with my dad (in Ohio), we came to the conclusion that it could have been the tensioner pulley causing this. So I took the car in after scheduling an appointment and was fully bracing to have a big bill on my hands. Turns out it was just that a bracket supporting the exaust had broken and it was rubbing on something. They welded it back on and I was out the door a couple hours later with a cheap bill! As a woman living in a town I’m not from, I will definitely be bringing my cars back here if I ever have issues. Definitely a trustworthy shop.

Chris and his team are now my guys! I was recommended by two people and was reluctant to try yet another car place. I expressed my inability to find an honest, thorough mechanic that charged a reasonable price. I have to say that Chris was very patient and kind, answered all my questions and charged me a fair price. I will keep going back to have my Honda cared for by this team.

My experience with Autotech has been over the past 5 months. I have gone in to see them for an engine light on 3 different occassions and after paying such a high price of close to $3,000... and my engine light remained on and each time was given different codes (or same codes again) that were causing this and still my engine light is on and prevented me from getting my inspection. . I had to take it to another mechanic last week and after one time and less than $250... it was diagnosed and engine light has remained off and was able to get my car inspected. The owner was NOT approachable and each time I asked to speak to him or ask him to come out and meet with me and explain.. he hid behind the glass window separating him from the front office and kept telling me when I was getting more and more upset after paying all my money with NO results. While it could have been good reason for each time that the engine light reappeared with the SAME codes and no help with his 2 year warranty he did NOT take ownership that he could NOT diagnose my problem and it took my calling another mechanic and getting NO refund for work done with NO results that I got someone else to do it and fix my

Excellent experience at Auto Tech last week. My car was having issues starting on a regular basis so I set up an appointment for Auto Tech to look at it. The morning of the appointment I met Chris, the owner. His mechanics had the problem diagnosed quickly, the new part ordered, delivered, installed and back to me in record time, and for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend Auto Tech and will now take my car there for all its repair needs, they treated me fairly, did not overcharge me, kept me informed, and are a locally owned Christian business.

Student discounts, honest work, far better pricing than AAA, Firestone and dealer (Timing Belt on daughter's car cost $200 less than the aforementioned places). Daughter went off to college at UNCW. I usually do most repairs myself but the distance was an issue. Glad we found a Honda specialist! When we replaced the Civic with a Nissan Cube, Auto Tech proved to be THE place again! Nissan wanted $450 to replace the valve gasket because you have to remove the intake manifold to get to it. Auto Tech did put for under $200. I've trusted my daughter's car her all throughout college. No up charges and honest repairs done right the first time! Thanks Chris and team! 12/4/2020 Update Chis is amazing! We had a recent issue with head gasket failure. Essentially the previous work performed by Auto Tech was flawless but the part failed. The problem is my daughter graduated UNCW and is now living in Charlotte, 200 miles away! What a quandary! Chris went above and beyond by contacting the NAPA supplier and through his network membership with NAPA, offered a remote NAPA warranty solution where a shop here in Charlotte was paid to perform the work. Kudos to NAPA for standing behi
