I had a n oil light go on after getting an oil change for my new car in Raleigh and I was on the road south towards Lumberton. I stopped in her after 5pm and not only did they help me with adding oil, they put it up in the lift to check for missing caps or oil leaks. They found none and let me know that the dealership likely didn't fill up my oil completely. They did this for me at closing time to help a 62 year old woman. Then after their speedy service, they didn't even charge me for anything! Bless the young woman mechanic named Maria was so caring and thorough. I will be buying my tires and getting service here from now on regardless of it being an hour from my home. I travel to Raleigh enough to make it work. I highly recommend them! Thanks so much. read more

I've been here many times for annual inspections, for tires, and vehicles repairs. Professional courtesy service by everyone. I have never felt like I have been taken advantage of. Most recent visit was for tires and again without question great service and professionals all around. I Will continue to use them and recommend them to friends and family. read more

M & B Auto & Tire Center - New rubber on the truck. - Auto Repair Near Me - Cameron, North Carolina

I've been here several times and they are always upfront and honest. They explain the issue with your vehicle and give you good advice

I liked them when they were M&B. They were helpful, responsive, and reasonably priced. Now that this shop is actually Harrell's in disguise, the place is a sh*tshow. They charge you to investigate your problem. Their prices are high. And in exchange for high prices, they offer LOW LOW LOW responsiveness. Dropped my car off at opening, called for a status one hour from closing, sat on hold for not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, but 19 minutes. FIRST OF ALL, I should not have to call THEM to find out what the status of my car is. SECOND OF ALL, if they can't give an answer, they should get on the d*mn phone and say they can't give an answer. I'll be driving further down 24-87 for car services from now on. read more

Always pleased with the helpful and quick services that M & B Auto provides. As a female, this is important since I tend to feel taken advantage of at other auto-related businesses. My husband and I feel confident bringing our vehicles here and don't feel as if we're being overcharged or told that we need services that we really don't. We come here for basic maintenance / service, tire rotations, NC emissions inspections, etc. Every time they're efficient and get the job done in a reasonable (and often quick) amount of time. We will continue to use their services. read more

Super friendly and very knowledgeable. I had a nail in my tire and they got my car in and out within 30 minutes. I highly recommend!!

this place is a JOKE! Brought my car in, a week and a half and hundreds later I get it back in the same condition I brought it in. check engine light and all. They're shady, incompetent and are never wrong. After posting I had well over 20 people who had the same experience as me. Avoid this place. read more

Truly thankful for the services they provide in these hard times! I bring my luxury vehicles here and they never disappoint! And they are willing to work with you even after I accidentally left my wheel lock in New York City! They got me right in immediately after it came in. Not to mention, Staff is always friendly and they know their craft!! read more

This place has always treated me well. I've gone in for a few tire patches over the last few weeks and each time they've helped me immediately and finished the job quickly. They're reasonably priced, and I like that they welcome walk ins on saturdays. Thank you to M&B read more

I had to get a tire plugged, I left 15 dollars in the cup holder. When I got my car back it was 5 dollars left, they are thieves!!!!

I wish Yelp had a negative stars option. I was a frequent customer of M & B auto due to their location. I had three vehicles that I would bring there for service. I have new to almost new vehicles and have NEVER had so many problems with them as I did FOLLOWING service at this establishment. For instance I had the front wheel bearings of my truck replaced. $1000. Paid that. That was ONLY 2 years ago and I have already had to have them replaced AGAIN. One of them was only months after. I took my truck back to them and said specifically there is something wrong with the wheel bearing you replaced. They told me that I was imagining things and there wasn't anything wrong. One month after that it was so bad I had to take it somewhere and refused to take it back there. Sure enough it was a wheel bearing. And the mechanic felt so bad that I was scammed that badly he did it FOR FREE, so it was definitely a bad bearing and not him trying to make money off of me. Then the brake service. I have a 2 year old vehicle that they convinced me I needed new brakes and rotors on. I knew the brake pads needed changing, but $300 later I had new brakes and rotors*. That was not even a year ago and the brakes have been replaced again and the mechanic let me know my rotors had never been replaced...... And put on lifetime brake pads for me again since I was scammed yet again by M&B Auto. The owner is exceptionally nice at the front desk and made me feel good about bringing my vehicle there, but his mechanics are thieves and liars. Do NOT bring your vehicle here for anything other than routine oil changes and safety inspections. read more

Front desk staff/manager is friendly and nice. I have taken my vehicles there for years so here is my perception of the place. 1- Great place for passenger car tires. Often their prices are hard to beat, even better than tirerack.com.However, if you have larger wheels or custom rims avoid at all cost. They will damage your rims and have not properly aligned my truck in 7 years. I define insanity because I purchased 3 sets of tires from these guys, got my vehicle aligned and they continue to wear on the inside and rubber for larger rims is not cheap! 2- If you have to take your vehicle there, Always, Always wait for your vehicle. DO NOT DROP OFF. If you drop it off it will not get looked at until work for waiters allows slows down and affords them the opportunity. You have to play cat and mouse with them or your vehicle's paper work will get pushed to the bottom of the pile. I had a manual transmission replaced that took over a month because the mechanic was always being pulled for other jobs like oil changes. Always wait for your car or you are doomed. Even if you call and the gentlemen with the voice that sounds like a mix between Hank Hill and Andy Griffin tells you, "Bring it in Buddy" just know there is no set schedule or process. 3- Everything is guess work. "Oh I think it is this or that," next thing you know you go from an adjustment or simple repair to I think you need a new transmission and you are like what just happened. 4- Friend had a crate engine installed, wires and hoses were everywhere, not routed, I mean real sloppy work. He drove the vehicle to the midwest and it crapped out on him. I guess in this case what you see is what you get. 5- I always run synthetic oil in my truck but I was conned into using their house oil blend and additives. Got home and the oil pump siezed up almost cost me an engine. That was the straw that broke my lasting relationship with M&B. Friendly staff, incompetent mechanics, and a real need to lean out their processes. read more

Not sure why anyone would leave a bad review for these guys. They were very helpful over the phone, and even more so in person. The staff were all kind and the guys in the garage were very nice and working their asses off. I didn't get any type of bad vibes with this place. Definitely going to be coming back when I need anything done on my car or trucks. read more

Honest and reliable. Everyone in my household comes here for routine service like tire rotations and oil changes. They have always been professional and friendly, and their prices are about what you'd expect. I ran my car off the road during icy weather this past winter and my car, though functional and drive-able, was jittering around and I thought it was out of alignment. M & B was honest and told me that I just needed to clean out the inside of my wheels from all the mud and ice I got all over when I spun out. (: They could have easily charged me for fixing any number of things without me knowing any better The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that it can take a while to get any larger problems with your car fixed since any special parts a repair might require will have to be ordered and take a while to arrive. read more

Dishonest and/or ignorant. I recently moved to NC and had to renew my car's plate and registration. I knew NC required car inspections so I pulled off here to have one done. I told them I was switching to NC plates and they said OK. After a long wait and $30 spent, I drove off. Later on, I went to have my second car inspected at a different, unaffiliated shop. They informed me that the first time you plate a car in NC, you DON'T need an inspection. Inspections are only for renewals and he said M&B should have told me that, especially since looking at the current registration is part of the inspection.. I then called the DMV and found out that's true. I will NEVER return to M & B. read more

This place is legit. I requested an jnspection for my brakes, which is free. I was told thatvit might take up to 2 hours to be completed. To my surprise it was done on about 40 minutes. The mechanic was kind enough to show me the condition of my brakes. Hendidnt recommend to change them on thatvday. Instead he told me that they could last 12-18 more months. This is honesty at hid best since other place told me that they needed to be changed and they didnt show them to me. I will do business in the future with this establishment. Excellent service!! read more

Garbage service. I stood in line waiting while the guy at the desk was in the phone. He was taking a long time which isn't his fault. He told me he'd be right with me. As soon as he finished that phone call, the phone rang again, he picked it up and started helping another customer on the phone. After standing there for 10 mins staring at him, I just walked out. read more

The first time i brought my car here it wouldn't start and had to be towed. They charged me over $400 for a new battery saying they couldn't diagnose it with my old battery. Come to find out, a problem was my key fob which they couldn't fix. So ended up having to get new keys made somewhere else. Battery was not the issue but i gave them a second chance. My bad, i know. I called them about new tires. Was told they had to order them and i had to pay for the tires but would pay for taxes and labor upon completion and would take about an hour. I called when i arrived because the sign out front is different from the website and wanted to know i had the right place. I did. Was told it would take about an hour and a half. No problem. Go inside, sign in, give them my keys and wait. After an hour and a half, i ask how much longer because my car is sitting right outside of where I've been sitting and hasn't moved. One receptionist, gets up and says she's going to check, doesn't come back. After about 10 minutes i ask the 2nd receptionist, She says she doesn't know but will check. Come to find out, they lost my paperwork and keys. Took the 40 minutes to find them. The manager/owner (not sure) came out and apologized and said they could have them done in 30-40 minutes but i was already over it and my entire afternoon wasted. Would not recommend! read more

Great Service, went in for a tire rotation with no appt. It was busy The great thing is that the employees are always letting you know what is going on and not just letting you sit there like a lump. Will defiantly use them again. read more

Called ahead about a tire and price was fair. Desk workers were respectful and friendly and service was quick. If you're looking for tires, this isn't a bad place at all. They have water and coffee in the waiting room too, always a plus. read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would. Took our car in with a check engine light on and not accelerating past 35mph. A ton of money later, left with a check engine light on and not accelerating. Was told to bring it back in and the car sat in the same spot for four days. We get it home and see that there's a hole 3" from where they were working that is POURING oil. Not only did they find two codes that they were capable of fixing yet didn't think they should tell us, they also gave our car back in worse shape than when we brought it! We are now having to pay for a tow truck to take it to a dealership, a rental car for almost two months bc the dealership can't look at it until the end of the month, all of the damage they didn't fix in addition to the damage they cause, and an attorney to take them to small claims court. I will NEVER use this place again, and I will never recommend them to ANYONE. Before using this place, search their name in a few local groups and you'll see that there are a TON of people who have had this same issue. read more

Always friendly and fast. Kevin did a great job and was extremely helpful. They also have good prices on tires.

Warning! Do Not take your car here if it is a foreign car! I spent over a thousand dollars to have my BMW repaired (7 series) and I get my car back after being told it would be fixed in one day which turned into 10 days (Really) I knew it was not going to be good when my wife had to tell the supposedly 25 year mechanic where the neutral switch was on the car ! So let me get this right you have 25 years as a mechanic Kirk but you don't know where the neutral switch is on a 7 series BMW give me a break. So the car was brought there on the 6th of March and you let it set outside cause you said you couldn't move it .?? No, you didn't know where the switch was to move it! Now the whole week goes by and it's now the 12th and you get the car moved inside finally after being told by my wife And I have to call back to back days to find out if the car is fixed for something that should have fixed in a day,2 max! It's now the 15th of the month and you still don't have the car fixed, you contact us to blame it on a module that the BMW dealership says could have been checked before removing the fuel pump that you said was the problem which told me then you didn't know what you were doing!!!! So I paid you over eleven hundred dollars for a vehicle that you didn't fix so you telling people you have 25 years of experience means absolutely nothing when it comes to BMWs or any other foreign car. So I would keep my mouth shut on that!!!! Then I get the car back after it not being fixed and the windows are left down, wires are coming from up under my back seat are you freakn kiddn me what a joke. Again I say to all who possess a foreign vehicle do not take Your car to M and B until Sam the owner can wise up and remove the BS that is going on there! 25 years my ass! read more

See all

I just recently had my car maintenance done with M&B and was very pleased. The staff is friendly, and the prices were more then reasonable. I will continue to do business with them. read more

I was referred to them from a friend but it wasn't until an issue occurred that I realized how great they were. I took my truck there for an A/C Condenser replacement and after going to several different local shops and extremely high quotes for a simple 2-4hrs job. Once we arrived, we were greeted by Sam, the owner who immediately had one of his many mechanics work on my vehicle. Brian finished the job within a couple of hours as expected and it cost me less than $300 vs $1,300 from another place including recharging the system. Needless to say, I was happy to have A/C again after a month of hot air. The real customer service experience happened about a week later, as we pulled into a restaurant parking lot the transmission line into the Condenser popped out and it leaked transmission fluid all over the place. An hour later, I had the vehicle towed back to Sam who gladly took care of the problem. Brian again immediately jumped on the issue and fixed it. Sam even gave me a free oil change which I did not expect at all. They took ownership for the mistake and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. As long as Sam still the owner of this place, we will continue to bring our vehicles there for all services going forward. Thank you! read more

This is exactly the kind of personally operated business one looks for in car repair. I've been bringing my car here since 2015, and I have had nothing but courteous service that is mindful of my budget and accommodates my schedule. In 35+ years, I've patronized only 3 auto shops where I had this much confidence: one near my old home in Los Angeles, the second was a BMW specialist who serviced my spouse's car, and now M & B. I can't recommend them enough. read more

If anyone at M&B Auto tells you that your vehicle is going to be ready by a certain time, do NOT believe them. I have never even had them to start working on anything when they said they would, no matter how early you arrived with the vehicle. They treat the customer as if their time is worthless and I believe they lie about parts not arriving yet just because they haven't done the work yet. I suppose this shop is still in business from new suckers coming in the door everyday due to a growing surrounding area. I'm sure they do not have much repeat business!!! The military is close by on Ft Bragg but the disrespect and disregard these people have for their customers TIME and not ever keeping their word, over pricing, blatant dishonesty is deserving of being put on a black list for the soldiers. It really sucks that this shop is in such a convenient location but is not worth a crap. read more

I have been coming here to have my car serviced for almost 2 years now. These guys have been wonderful every single time I have brought my car here. The gentlemen and lady at the front desk are very friendly and the waiting area is comfortable with a TV and coffee. I used to dread getting my car looked at because it always seemed like the auto shops I went to would try to get over on me. The people here are very helpful and seem to have my best interest in mind. 5 stars in my book! read more

Ridiculous wait time and theft issue. I've liked them in the past but absolutely won't be going back. I dropped my car off on a Tuesday with an AC issue, didn't affect the drivability of the car. I saw they were busy and expected a wait, when they didn't contact me by the next morning I called to check on it and was told they would get to it that day or the next. I called again Thursday morning and was told it still wasn't assigned to a tech and they probably wouldn't get to it until at least Monday, which is a ridiculous amount of time just to diagnose the car. They don't take appointments so I can't imagine what the hold up was just to pop the hood. I went in to take my car back because I was uncomfortable with it sitting in their lot that long and they insisted I leave it with them. They did end up getting it into the shop and repaired by Friday morning, though I think it would have waited until the next week if I hadn't shown up. When I picked it up, trash was left in the car, my sun visor was crumpled on the floor, and my phone charger and tool kit were missing from the trunk. The trunk was obviously rifled through. When I reported this to them, they told me their guys wouldn't want my tools and blamed me for leaving things in the car. Note these were in the trunk, absolutely nothing was left visible in the car and I had tried to retrieve my car earlier but was denied. They did reimburse me $50 to replace the tools and charger, but it's the last time I'll trust them with any of my cars. read more

They deserve 0 stars. They worked on our truck twice while we lived in the area and didn't do the job correctly (why we went back he 2nd time to get it fixed). We moved and took it to the dealership only to be told that the truck should not be on the road due to it being fire hazard. After talking to the Sam, the owner, he agreed to pay to get it fixed. It's been almost 3 months and we still haven't received a check. read more

I called on a WED to see if they could work on my vehicle over the weekend. I dropped it off Friday evening before they closed, it wasn't touched by Monday morning. A dealership took care of my issue on my lunch break read more

Don't trust these guys. I brought my driveline in to get the u-joints replace and they did not assemble it correctly. I am an ASE certified master mechanic and brought my driveline in simply because I didn't have the time to do it. It is a 2-piece and requires that it be re-assembled in the exact same alignment with both pieces of the driveshaft. I painted a strip down the driveshaft to help the technician out and left explicit instruction to re-assemble the driveshaft so that strip was in the same spot as before. The reason you do this is because the driveshaft is balanced with weights welded to it in specific locations so there is no vibrations going down the road. And the weights have to obviously do with "balance" not the "phase" of the driveshaft. Sure enough, the mechanic totally assembled it in a 180 degree rotation of the driveshaft and when I asked him why, he stated that it didn't matter what way it was assembled, as long as the phase of the u-joints are aligned. I then took noticed that he had my drive shaft in a vice without any sort of cushion (such as a rag or block of would), on either end of it. This resulted in a significant dent at either end of my driveshaft right next to the welds of the yoke and tube assembly. He also did not seem to think this would affect the operation. The issue now is that I got a compromised driveshaft back from these guys and I had to re-assemble it in the correct orientation myself because I no longer trust these guys. And what of the dents? This also compromises the structural integrity of the driveshaft. Needless to say; I would trust these guys to read the engine oil dipstick in my vehicle. Save yourself the time, distrust and money-go somewhere else. read more

Well a simple oil change turned into a huge issue when my car started acting funny...Took it to the dealership and was informed there was about 5qts of oil pumped into my radiator and radiator reservoir...since no one had touched my car besides me to drive it only reasonable answer was M&B ...i approached them and they said ohhh no wasn't us .... it must have been someone else some other garage......just a warning alot of mechanics these days sabotaging vehicles....more you break down more they get paid.... read more

Sam takes care of all my family's cars. They're very courteous and knowledgable about automotive needs. Definitely recommend them for basic automotive needs. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. It has the worlds most incompetent management. I had to get a rim repaired and they said it would take 5 days. It's been 2 weeks and still waiting. Don't waste your time here unless you want typical nc service. If that's the case you have found the right place. read more

Took my vehicle here for a tune up paid them $600 and afterwards my vehicle has broken down twice, had to get a tow truck twice. Took my vehicle to another shop to current the issues that M&B has caused. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE. read more

I've been using M & B for about 20 years. I think they gotten too big too fast and have lost some of the personnel touch. I've had my truck in the shop 4 times for the same issue. First the transmission surge pack needed replacement (10 days in shop) 2d I was informed that trans pack was defective and free replacement installed (10 days) same issue 3d time was told that the computer needed replaced. I pulled my truck out of shop while M&B orders part and had body work done. (7days). I schedule an appointment to return to shop and have PCM installed. Easy fix pull truck in and install part. To my surprise I was informed that the part on the shelf was not the correct part and a replacement would not be available until Monday. (5 days in shop and counting) It seems that my vehicle is getting worse instead better. I will see this through but I don't know if I will ever go back. Bottom line: If you can't afford to leave vehicle in shop for long periods; go else where (MTF) read more

We noticed one of our tires was really low so we drove to two different gas stations and neither had an air station. The tire continued to lose air and we weren't sure if we were going to make it to another gas station or even make it back home. Luckily we saw M&B Auto and stopped in. We explained to the people at the front desk (who were very nice!) what was going on and wanted to see if they could just put air in the tire real quick. They said that was no problem and told us to pull the car up to the bay. A very nice gentleman, Jerry, came over and filled the tire with air. He said he wanted to check the tire for leaks since the tire got so low. He sprayed some water on the tire and didn't see any leaks. He further inspected the tire closely and found a nail in it. He removed it and plugged it. We were so thankful that he was willing to help us so quickly and that he took the time to find the problem and fix the issue completely even though we dropped in spur of the moment. I went in to pay and the lady and gentleman at the desk were so nice again and I told them how I greatly appreciated the service and the help, especially since we might not have made it home on that tire if they weren't willing to help us! This place is great, the service is great, and the people are great. Not that we were happy about having a nail in our tire, but we were very happy we found this place and will definitely go to them in the future. read more
