I can't say enough good things about Blake and the crew at Craven Tire in New Bern, NC. While…read moretraveling to visit my mom, the alternator on my 2015 Winnebago Travato failed and I found myself in a tough spot. Blake went above and beyond to help get me back on the road. I had already picked up a replacement alternator on my way in, since it would've taken a couple of days to source one locally--unfortunately, once Blake's team began the work, they discovered the part was broken. They immediately called me, and because of their quick communication, I was able to drive an hour away, pick up another alternator, and get it back to the shop the same afternoon. Their tech jumped right on it and got everything installed before closing, ensuring I could continue my trip the next day. That level of effort and professionalism is rare these days. The service impressed me so much that on my next visit to see my mom, I brought the Travato back to Craven Tire to have the shocks replaced. The more I interact with Blake and his team, the more I appreciate their honesty, skill, and genuine customer care. Every technician I've met there is friendly, knowledgeable, and committed to doing quality work. If you're anywhere near New Bern and need automotive service--routine or emergency--this is the place you want to go.

This business deserves zero stars. I called ahead to schedule an appointment for four new tires and…read morea $13 inspection. They recommended Blackhawk tires and quoted me $620 for the tires, mounting, and installation. During the call, they also required a $50 deposit, which immediately seemed unusual. When I arrived for my scheduled appointment, I was told it would be quite a while before they could get to my vehicle. I also discovered they were charging $135 per tire for the same tire that other shops were selling for around $80. At that point, I decided not to proceed and asked for my $50 deposit back so I could take my business elsewhere. The owner refused to refund the deposit. Between the excessive pricing, the wait time despite having an appointment, and the refusal to return my deposit, my experience was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this business.

​I will preface this review by stating that I have driven in excess of three million miles in…read morepassenger vehicles, in my three plus decades of emergency service provision after natural disasters. In doing so I have dealt with every kind of repair shop / service out there, the good, the bad and the ugly. Jonathan Weis at Jonathan's Automotive Repair is without a doubt and by far the best of the best. Jonathan's concern for the safety of travelers is evident and Oriental North Carolina is most fortunate to have access to this level of service and professionalism in automotive care. My wife and I were visiting Oriental when a mechanical issue developed with my truck. Fortunately for us we were only a block away from Jonathan's. I brought my truck to him and rode along with Jonathan on the drive to diagnose the issue. Jonathan was able to quickly and accurately diagnose the problem as being the front left wheel bearing / hub assembly. I requested that both the left and right assemblies be replaced to keep them in common service states, Jonathan was able to accommodate that request. In tearing down the front end hub assemblies it was observed that there were issues with the front brakes that should also be addressed. Jonathan provided photos and recommendations as to the proper repairs. I requested that the brake repairs be completed along with pinion seals in the front and rear differentials that had developed leaks. Jonathan was able to complete all requested repairs in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. The communication, workmanship and cost of service were top notch. I live over ten hours from Oriental, however when future repairs are needed for my or my wife's vehicles, if possible, I will certainly come back to enjoy Oriental's unique atmosphere and Jonathan's excellent automotive repair services. Five star, 10 out of 10 and best of the best. Thank you Jonathan! p.s. I am posting this from my wife's account.

They even snuck in an emissions test when I did not need one, nor did I ask for one. I went in for an oil change, and tune up, it ran me $1250. I expected maybe $250, tops. I almost threw up when he told me the cost. Absolutely insane. Not knocking quality of work, I'd assume that's okay although I don't feel a difference in how it drives. I will always believe that all mechanics are absolute crooks and I wouldn't recommend a single one to anybody. I'd recommend getting a new car, change oil regularly and avoid mechanics at all cost. This place was no different. Appalled at my $1250 bill.
