While on our family vacation in OBX, the alternator in our Toyota Highlander went out. At the time,…read morewe didn't know it was the alternator until we replaced the battery and checked it at the local Auto Zone. I then googled mechanics near me. OBX Affordable Automotive Repair was one of the top shops. I read the reviews and told my husband that we should drive over. I have to say that Jeff is an impressive mechanic! He got us in, replaced the alternator in about 2 hours! He's an honest, straightforward person. We genuinely appreciate him helping us out in this situation being so far away from home. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Jeff!

We were facing an 8 hour car ride with a 14 year old and a 5 year old and no air conditioning. I know this is a 1st world type of problem, but it was our problem. We took the car to A-ok and he was able to fix the issue the next day. The price was reasonable and he even parked the car under his carport so it would not be so hot when I picked it up. The only small complaint was that he only accepts cash. I guess that is understandable with such transient customers but acceptance of credit cards would be more convenient. If you are vacationing in the Hatteras region and have car troubles Jeff at A Ok is the place to go. Probably pretty much the only place which makes his reasonable prices and great service even more special.

Dread filled my mind as I know that Ocracoke does not have a large contingent of auto-repair shops or dealerships. I asked the Ferry attendant who he would recommend on the Island and he said "Jimmy's Garage". I stopped by after unpacking the car and getting the family settled. The very nice lady in the front office told me that her husband and son JImmy do the repairs and that if it would be a simple repair that wouldn't take too much time they could handle. But, if it were a more extensive repair like an intake gasket or other major engine work they would have to refer me to a shop over on Hatteras Island. I dropped off the car and they said they would let me know in a few hours what the situation looked like. I stopped by after lunch and was told it was a water pump and that she had already ordered the correct part and they would have it completed by end of the next day. I showed up the end of the next day and it was done and at a very reasonable price. Great service. Great Price. I would not hesitate to have them work on my car ever.

My mind was put to ease with the evaluation, which was greater than I expected -- truly surprised me with the thoroughness. They gave an honest appraisal of all the things my car needed, including a mindfulness towards the oil, and new front tires (which I clearly needed before running anything over), and assured me I was good for the return trip home without any immediate repairs or parts done in their shop. I followed through with their advice when I did get home, including getting new tires, and it truly made a difference in how the car was driving. Wish they were my home mechanic!!

I'd used this business before, and knew the owner had retired - Now turning it over to this younger group. Same vibe, same super reasonable cost, excellent customer interface. I also asked about a brake job on my Jeep, to which Amanda said, of course, they were just finishing one up now. Brilliantly, she offered they don't automatically replace the rotors -which is a wonderful high profit job for the usual shops, but often not necessary. That was beyond refreshing. This business is a keeper. It's a low overhead shop, so no glitzy outer building and signage, or waiting room (they do have a small spot, complete with a happy dog.) Don't be put off by the exterior - they are a rare bargain. 5 stars easily.

The closest Honda dealer to Kill Devil Hills said they could schedule me for five days later. Luckily, a local told me about Marshall.

He spent some time diagnosing my vehicles problem, called his parts supplier, fixed the problem, and had me back on the road quickly. His rates are very reasonable and he knows what he's doing.
