First visit- Took my Jag in for brakes and rotors. I was so impressed with their service overall…read more As a woman, I can say that taking your vehicle in to an auto repair shop by yourself in general is like walking into another world. It's intimidating and immediately your stress levels go crazy. This is not my area of expertise but CDT Automotive changes all of that with how they treat you and communicate with you. They truly are the masters at giving great customer service. Details: They have a modern and super clean shop with a waiting area that is comfortable and CLEAN with a TV and good magazines. I was given a tour of the garage area and it's immaculate. All of the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I had my brakes and rotors replaced and while I waited in the lobby was given all of the details, delivering on expectations from the start. I knew about how long it would take, next steps along the way, cost breakdown and AJ, the service manager, made me feel catered to. He even had lunch brought in while I waited. Above and beyond expectations on customer service. They wash your vehicle and place a snack and bottle of water with a coupon in your vehicle upon leaving. Amazing! Second visit: Had them complete my vehicle's routine maintenance and again, Bobby, AJ and staff were all there to greet me and again, exceeded my expectations. Due to the work I needed done I was going to be there for an extended amount of time. AJ hooked me up with a driver to drop me off and pick me up for lunch. Both of the guys driving me to and from were friendly and they both talked about how much they love working there. The entire vibe of the place is that the people there love the work they do and working there and it delivers in how they treat their customers. Compared to taking my vehicle to the dealership, cost is much better and overall customer service just beats anyone out there. They do great work, they meet and exceed expectations and ladies you can actually RELAX knowing you are in good hands, won't get talked down to, your questions will get answered honestly and with CARE. They work on both foreign and domestic vehicles. They have won me over and I wont take my vehicle anywhere else if I can help it.

Daily driver only -- no towing, no off-road use. Transmission Build: M3960 / MF S1 BM 3960, installed November 2021. November 2024 -- Transmission failure at 62,500 miles on that build. Repair cost: $12,000+. Upon pickup, the front bumper was found to be improperly secured and required a return visit to correct. December 2024 -- Vehicle returned after a transmission "Refresh" ($8,088). Within 2 miles of leaving the shop, the transmission was not shifting correctly. The truck was returned immediately. January 2025 -- Vehicle returned to me in drivable condition. This is the in-service date for the refreshed transmission. January 2026 -- Exactly 12 months from the in-service date, the transmission again stopped shifting properly under identical usage conditions. The shop declined to repair the unit under any warranty or goodwill provision. For context, two prior issues were resolved without escalation: -- A passenger side mirror was damaged during a replacement service. The parts supplier where I purchased the mirrors honored their warranty and I completed the reinstallation myself. -- A TPMS sensor was improperly installed with a new set of 4 tires purchase. Discount Tire diagnosed and corrected the issue at my expense. I did not raise either of those issues with the shop at the time. Given my history as a customer since 2018 and the total financial investment involved, you would think this place would be responsive. Avoid this place, integrity does exist here.

Brought my car in for a new A/C compressor. I usually take my vehicle(s) to Ernie Lee in NE…read moreRaleigh, but he and his staff were super backed up and I was waiting weeks for an opening. EL and his guys always do a great job, so I wasn't thrilled to have to get out of my comfort zone and find a new place. But with the summer heat in North Carolina, about the last thing you want not working in your vehicle is the air conditioning. I read the glowing reviews of Choice Auto Care on Yelp, and elsewhere, and decided to give them a shot. I am glad I did. Don was quick to get me in, and then out, and the job was done right - and VERY timely. He reminded me of my long-time mechanic from when I lived in South Florida. In fact, the two could almost be twins. It's a little further in distance than I usually go - in fact, I can walk to my 'regular' guy - but I highly suggest Don and the staff at CAC. It is never enjoyable having to get certain repairs done, but if you are going to spend hundreds of dollars for a fix, it's nice to know places exist that will do the job right, and not screw you over trying to upsell and still give great customer service. If you're in the North Raleigh area, definitely give them a call!

I appreciated the provision of a nice loaner car, with no hassle getting it. I booked my appointment the day before and drove in early next morning, cautiously, with an engine overheat warning "pull over in safe place" flashing on my dash. They knew this. I arrived opening time 8am. No one contacted me the entire day(!) with a diagnosis/ cost estimate or update of any kind; I was not aware my car would be kept overnight. At 4:50pm, ten minutes before close, I telephoned and was told $2,400(!), it might take 3 days/ 2 nights in the shop. I asked for a detailed estimate and for the second time, gave my email. Still, an estimate was not sent.... That cost estimate was high compared to other mechanics. Standard customer service for an early morning "drop-off" (advance appt.): contact customer by 3pm that day, explain repair, provide a cost estimate for approval. Start work right away, priority to finish if a second day. That did not happen. Nobody seemed to care if it did. For a $200 repair, no big deal- but for $2,000/ 3 days in the shop, IT MATTERS. PRO A loaner car while being repaired repaired with OEM car parts skilled diagnosis of Toyota 24month/ 24,000 mile parts warranty CON left me hanging on diagnosis, repair cost no written description/estimate provided high price compared to competition (corrected at the end) no apology for dropping the ball on service In the end, the actual charge was $1,821.97 which was in line with local estimates, considering the use of OEM parts. I appreciated that adjustment. And it appears they did quality work. Time will tell. Will I go back? Probably not. Lacked valuing me as a high-dollar customer; too much time and drama.
