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!

On May 19th 2026 our 2022 Yukon Denali lost power as we got onto Highway 12 heading to Ocracoke NC…read more We needed a tow and AAA hooked us up with Seto Towing. Our wait time was reasonable. 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.

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.

I was able to get an appointment within days and Jessee, the Assistant Manager was courteous and efficient throughout the whole process. After the job was complete, I happened to learn that they were under new Management. I met Tim, the Manager and learned he had come from extensive service years with Tire Choice at another location in N.C. and hired Jessee, as well as he was also bringing experienced service technicians to this location who he had worked with before. Subsequently, I returned to see if they could insert new rubber blades in my Honda OEM wipers and Tim quickly handled that for me, while I waited. All my friends are stunned that I found someone to do that as it is very difficult, however saves a great deal of money. The new team here is very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.
