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 mean it was empty of coolant when I came in and was completely busted up. Of course they added some stuff that was not as necessary to the list of things needing to be fixed but were honest about what could wait considering I'm on a strict budget and need to save for bigger jobs. General inspection is $30 but that's average for the area of NE Raleigh (I called a few places but decided on this place because when Travis answered the phone he was easy to hear and very polite) Id be back for future help with my car but hoping it isn't any time soon I did wait a fair while but I assume the coolant tank was what made the wait longer that the expected 40m at first

The mechanic listened, asked good follow-up questions, made sure he understood the problem before drawing any conclusions, and then diagnosed it cleanly. The part arrived within the window he quoted (2-3 hours), was installed without fuss, and the final bill was reasonable. What stood out as much as the technical work: he flagged a slow coolant leak and a minor oil leak -- this is an older car, so neither was a shock -- but there was no pressure to pile on services. He showed me rough estimates so I'd have them when I'm ready and left the decisions to me. That kind of straightforward, no-upsell approach is rarer than it should be. The waiting area is a genuine plus: free wifi, a table big enough to work at, and a small fridge with complimentary drinks, large TV. My one suggestion would be to add a coffee in the AM. Also, the door to the reception currently reads "B". Might want to avoid any confusion with better signage. That said, I am a big fan of this establishment and will be using them for repairs in the future (apparently sooner than I want :) Bonus: he pointed me to a wonderful Indian place across the street, Biryani, which I'd highly recommend if you have time to kill while your car is being worked on.

So that's what I did. I paid & came out. I asked if the other guy had tightened the lug nuts that he had loosened because he was now working on another car. The other guy said yes & that I was good to go. I had been driving my other vehicle but decided to drive my car for my work commute. I felt like something was wrong. My car started shaking uncontrollably. I pulled over twice on a little highway. The 3rd time, I was too scared to continue. I called a tow truck. Had it towed to my mechanic. The tow truck driver looked at it, along with my mechanic. I was missing 2 lug nuts and the others were loose. MY FREAKING TIRE WAS COMING OFF!!!!! The outcome could have been terrible. Blue Flame didn't tighten them. A tire and rim coming off on a highway could have been catastrophic. Needless to say $354 later, I got it fixed.
