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!

Had a flat tire, slow leak. They fit me in, same day, took 15 minutes. SUPER reasonable rate…read more Amanda was, as others have noted, excellent on the customer service side, and taking care of the flat repair herself. 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.

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!!

Day 2 of our family vacation in OBX, and our battery in our VW minivan died in Kill Devil Hills…read morewhile in the Five Guys parking lot! Panic sank-in like a weight on fishing line dropping off Avon Pier. Turned out we needed more than a new battery: the alternator and serpentine belt both needed to be replaced and every place we called was booked for the next two weeks! That's when Chantal at Kitty Hawk Truck and Auto worked her magic. So grateful to John, Chantal and Steve. Thank you so much for making our car repair dreams come true! Next year, the plan is to have John turn our minivan in a Maserati.

Fantastic Service, Impeccable Experience!…read more I've taken my vehicles to many different mechanics on the Outer Banks throughout my life and none of them compare to the level of professionalism, experience, and customer service as Kitty Hawk Commercial Truck & Auto. I was able to communicate with the customer service rep over Facebook messenger and they answered all my questions promptly and satisfactory to my needs. I was able to get an appointment very soon within my availability. The first time I need them to do a full diagnostic of my vehicle. As well as fixing a few present issues. They provided me with a detailed description of everything I needed to get done and in order of priority. They provided cost for parts and labor. The customer service rep went over all of it with me, allowing me to gain trust in thier knowledge and experience. Because I was a happy customer the first time. I decided to come back. The second time I again spoke with the rep via Facebook messenger and they got me an appointment. I am unable to drop my car of during business hours which is OK because they have an overnight dropbox. I highlighted what I needed done, from the previous list they provided, and they took care of exactly what I asked for. The best part about it is that it was all at a reasonable price. Even though I leave my vehicle for them to ha e it all day so they dont have to rush or worry, in case they unexpectedly get slammed, they always get the job done in a faster time then I expected. If you're looking for real experiences in trucks and autos. If you want to get your vehicle fixed right, at a reasonable price and in a timely manner then you definitely need take your vehicle here. They will take care of you. I am one extremely satisfied customer for life.

This is on a Thursday. Every shop I called said maybe Saturday or next week. I was panicking! I called Jessie and he kindly agreed to come out after his last job. He arrived around 8 p.m. I had already had my friends take me to get the necessary part. So I thought we were set. Upon removing my tire Jessie found that my wheel bearing hub was bad. He took the time to discuss with me what was wrong and that he recommended that it be replaced. He then agreed to keep working on removing the wheel hub while we ran to Auto Zone, which thankfully had the part in stock and is open late. He then replaced the part and had completed the other repair. It was then about 9:30. Then, despite the late hour and that he looked exhausted he took the time to talk to me about when I got home to make sure I checked the other tires for similar issues. That these things have a way of happening together. He was beyond professional and courteous. I then get the bill and am incredibly happy!! In my area shops usually charge $130 an hour. Jessie is incredibly reasonable. I got fantastic service by a qualified mechanic for a great rate! Plus, he saved the day and I was able to get home for work. I am beyond pleased! I only wished I lived in OBX and could use him for future repairs. Would highly recommend Jessie to anyone in the OBX area. He came same day and saved the day!!

When the tow truck arrived we felt relieved. The tow truck driver Eric was wonderful. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and insightful to what our needs were. We were on a short getaway and now had to get our car towed back to Virginia Beach, plus get some guidance on getting a rent a car in Nags Head to complete our vacation plans. Eric was really instrumental in getting us a vehicle before he headed to Virginia Beach with our vehicle. Seto Towing and Eric were the BEST!

Unlawful Towing of Disabled Veteran's Vehicle…read more My husband, a disabled veteran with ADA-compliant disabled tags, was legally parked in a clearly marked handicap space in the parking lot outside Bluewater Seafood Market. There were no signs stating the parking lot was for "customers only" or that towing would be enforced. Despite this, Seto Towing was called and towed his truck. Under federal ADA law, it is illegal to tow a properly parked vehicle with disabled plates or placards--and as a towing company, Seto should absolutely know that. We were forced to pay $275 to retrieve the vehicle and another $25 for transportation to their facility, totaling $300 for something that never should have happened. This was not only wrong--it was discriminatory. We have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and are asking for full reimbursement. I urge others to be cautious--if Seto Towing is involved, even your rights as a disabled driver may not be protected. Attached are photos of the county laws. None of them were met. No 24x24 sign, no call to the police department, all tags were on vehicle properly marked. 10000% illegal! Tried to speak with the lady at the front desk about these laws for a refund and she refused to have an adult conversation.
