Newfound Tire has been taking splendid care of my vehicles and equipment since the first day I…read morearrived in Leicester. I had bought a property off Newfound Road in October 2005. I had driven all night from Loudoun County, VA, pulling a loaded 4-horse trailer behind my F250. As I came through Asheville at 0530, the electric on my trailer failed--no brakes, no lights. I saw Newfound Tire's sign and pulled in. At that hour of the morning, there was already a mechanic working. He repaired the wiring on my trailer, then said, "No charge. Welcome to our neighborhood." I've been their customer ever since. They even filled the tires on my new tractor. I trust them completely to do a good job at the lowest possible cost to me.

I have been impressed with how quickly this auto shop is able to service my car and I have been…read moreextremely pleased with their work on oil changes and tire repairs. Additionally, I think they are honest which is always a relief. They could have charged me a lot for a repair- but instead, the mechanic did a free estimate and then was honest that I'd be better off getting the repair done at the dealership, as he acknowledged that they'd know the ins and outs of my car better than he did- and that he was only making an educated guess which left room for error. In the end, he was right to send me on, because he had misdiagnosed the issue and the dealership was the better option. I thought that was real decent of him to be transparent about his limitation in that moment. I will keep using Newfound Tire for routine oil changes and tire repairs for certain.

Friendly, and we were in and out within 30 minutes! Thank you, Autopro! I'll be back for any car maintenance in the future!

I am overwhelmed by the kindness and competence demonstrated at this establishment…read more Story time: I was about to go on a long trip across several states and decided to FINALLY go to the nearest Toyota dealership to deal with all those recalls they've been sending me. I asked them to do a general check up as well...why not? I waited 4hours and was finally told that they were hearing a "grumbling" or "shaking" sound from my alternator. They told me it would be a $800ish dollar replacement. Yikes. Well, I know the dealership always overcharges for new parts, so I went to my local mechanic: Mr. Tire on Hendersonville Road. I asked them to check out the alternator, the bearings in the air compressor and bearings in the fan (not a car person, but my grandpa is and I repeated his words verbatim). I didn't wait long, but the "gent" (using the term VERY loosely) told me that not only was the alternator busted and making noise, but so was the belt around that...so the price had gone up to over $1000. Guys, I don't know anything about cars beyond checking my oil, but I do know when someone is trying to take advantage of me. I'm very much an independent woman, but I felt so completely helpless. No one was telling me the truth, no one was taking me seriously, no one was listening to what I was asking them to do. And that guy at Mr. Tire was 110% lying through his teeth. THANK GOD a fellow customer told me about Auto Pro. I called them in the parking lot of Mr. Tire and explained my situation to a very frank, down-to-earth, and incredibly understanding lady named Jen (Jennifer). She asked if I could come in within the next 10minutes before the mechanics went to lunch. I immediately said yes. As soon as I arrived, I explained my problem and was met with empathy and kindness. Jen called one of the mechanics in, explained the problem with the words I used and told Wade to, "Treat this young lady right! We want the TRUTH!" Hysterical. Wonderful person. I had been near tears because of how completely powerless I felt. She made me laugh and assured me that she and Wade would take care of me. I believed her. Within the hour, Wade was back. He told me that Toyota and Mr. Tire probably never even checked the alternator...it was in near-mint condition. So was the belt. Mr. Tire is clearly full of cold-blooded leeches. It was the air compressor, just like my Grandpa suspected. Auto Pro listened to me. They cared. They got results and WHAT'S MORE: they told me that the part was just over a year old and that I should go to the place I bought the replacement from originally and see if it was still under warranty. Incredible integrity and customer service. I am never going to another mechanic in Asheville. Not even for an oil change. Jennifer and Wade went above and beyond to help me. Thank you both so much.

Dolphin has done some extensive work on my older car over the years, some that was quite expensive…read moreand I've wondered about the quality of their work as the results seem less than spectacular. I don't know much about cars in general and tend to accept what a mechanic tels me. That said, I had some necessary work done by a mechanic at Dolphin automotive the week after hurricane Helene came through. All the other local auto mechanic shops were destroyed or out of service due to lack of electric and water service. I was charged $95 for diagnosis (? I already knew what was wrong with the car) plus $95 for a switch (??) and $95 for labor. My car ran just fine when I drove it into Dolphin's station that day. After the work was done, which by the way, did not involve the engine, the car started missing badly as soon as I drove out. Back at the mechanic, told me a part had been broken and I needed to replace the entire assembly. Denied having broken the part, which I find hard to believe. Why would my car run fine before they worked on it, to not run afterwards? As I stated before, Dolphin mechanics have worked on my car several times and have done an ok job, nothing outstanding. I now suspect they pad their invoices but can't prove anything, just like I can't prove the worker broke my part. However, after this last incident I will no longer patronize the shop and will not recommend them to anyone I know.
