I took my Truck to Pete Smith Tire & Quick Lube on Main Street in Rolesville. Told service writer that another shop told me that my front struts are bad and it would cost approximately $1,250.00 to replace them. Pete Smith did a check on my Truck and found that my Rack & Pinion unit was loose and they tightened the bolts (had Rack & Pinion replaced in a NJ auto repair shop last year), Pete Smith charged me around $60.00 for the fix. I was ready to write a check for $1,250.00 NOW THAT IS HONESTY AND INTEGRITY I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pete Smith Tire & Quick Lube !!!! read more

Doesn't do work on customer supplied parts. Called to see if they would install OEM dealer parts and was told they only do the work when they supply the parts. Meaning unless they can get you on the labor and margin on the parts they are not interested in your business. Noted read more

I recently moved to Rolesville and this week had a tire that had been loosing air. I took it in at 5 pm and they got me in right away, fixed my tire and I was out by 6. (Tire had a screw in it ) Super professional and nice staff. Waiting area was really clean and comfortable. read more

Fair, fast, honest & trustworthy. I have used them for 5 years and have always had a great experience.

These guys are a great local auto repair shop! Honest, dependable, and they price their products competitively. I do my inspection there every year, and I just got tires, alignment, and brakes done by these guys. Parker (manager) is transparent about their cost and markup. I got tires from these guys for the same price that I would have paid at Costco. And they don't try to upsell you on extra maintenance work. More than once, I have had them turn down hundreds of dollars in business because they say it's not necessary at this time. Highly recommend this local business! read more

This place has the kindest, honest and most helpful workers. We pulled in with tire issues right before closing and they stayed after to help us and make sure our car was road worthy. Highly recommend. Jason was a trooper and helped us on 90 degree weather. read more

Great service fast and to the point ! Value is great and works. Asked for tire change they did it quick and got it back the next day.

This was my first trip here and wasn't super impressed honestly, they overfilled the car with oil, and they did not clean the oil pan or splash guard after the change and I had oil in my driveway a few days later from it seeping onto the tray and onto the concrete, then there goes the hub caps when I had tires rotated, they weren't put on even remotely correct and I lost one as a result and had to reinstall the other three to keep them from coming off, not a hard job for a tire and quick lube but like most places no attention to detail or care. read more

I was on my way to Wake Forest from Florida to visit family. On my way up my oil service light came on. I passed a business that was less than a half mile away. I considered going this morning but checked the reviews first and I'm glad I did. The reviews were not good and so I checked other places for my oil change. I came upon Pete Smith Tire about 12 minutes further but of course it turned out to be a great choice. It had great reviews from the Yelp community. I was greeted with courtesy and professionalism. I explained that I needed an oil change and they told me it should be now more than a half hour tops. Great! The price was the same or bit less than the 10 minute national chain. Overall it was an excellent experience. read more

If you are looking for a fair and honest place to bring your car for repair, look no further, Pete Smith's is the place to go. I have just shown up, with a broken car and left a car with problems, they diagnose and contact you quickly and I have always felt they charge a fair price. read more

I called on the morning of July 10 2019 to get my tires rotated. $ 23 and less than 15 minutes they were done. Thanks that's how to run a business, respecting my time and giving an honest value. I have had multiple time when I have used this location they are always attentive and efficient. read more

Small, quaint tire and oil change shop located on Main Street in Rolesville NC. Great customer service and competitive prices. I will bring my cars here for oil change so that I can support my local business. read more

I had a check engine light come on and they said I need a new sensor. It cost me $258 and less than 30 minutes the check engine light came back on. They dont know what they are doing so i recommend not going there. read more

I had been hearing the dreaded "sqeal" from my brakes for awhile but didn't have the money to get them looked at. Plus, I just started a new job on the other side of the universe so didn't feel like I could all of a sudden take time off from work to get my brakes fixed. I wanted some place close to my house so I could ride my bike home if necessary... or catch a ride from a friend. I saw the positive reviews on Yelp and decided to give them a call... I asked Brent (who works in the front office) roughly how much it would cost and he was able to give me a range of prices off the top of his head. Contrast that to my calling NTB and they put me on hold for 10 minutes (presumably hoping I would get tired of waiting and hang up) and hemmed and hawed about how much even though I was just looking for a "best case" and "worst case" scenario. Brent was very accommodating an was able to schedule me for Saturday morning (I called late Thursday so felt pretty good about that). Got there and also noticed they do inspections... since I had just gotten a ticket for expired tags (oops!) I asked if they could do the inspection as well. Since my car was less than 3 years old and less than 70K miles, I didn't require the emissions inspection -- just the safety inspection (other places I have been too such as Jiffy Lube wind up charging you for both when the law didn't require it and you have to argue with them... and lose!). Got there and was waiting on the verdict on whether I would just need to brake pads or pads and rotors and after awhile (waiting in a very comfortable waiting room), Brent came out and said my pads were fine -- I didn't need any brake service at all. I was blown away. He took the time to explain to me that normal pads were 10 millimeters and my fronts were at 6 and my rears were at 4 so roughly and once they got to 2 mm, then I would probably need to get them replaced. He also explained that brakes make noise depending on road and weather conditions and compared it to basketball players sneakers squeaking on hardwood floor (friction). He also explained what worn out brake pads would sound like (you would hear the squeal as you were driving but it would go away when you applied the brakes). In short, he took the time to educate me rather than just sell me new brake pads when I didn't need them! As a result, instead of spending the 350 bucks that I expected to pay, I only paid 89 bucks for an oil change, tire rotation, and inspection. Brent explained that everyone there is paid on salary as opposed to most "corporate shops" (Jiffy Lube, NTB, etc) where they are paid on commission and obviously incentivised to sell parts and services that weren't necessary. I was so grateful for how I was treated -- educated instead of talked down to -- and appreciated the clean comfortable waiting room and reasonable cost service that Pete's has won my business for all routine maintenance going forward. Highly recommend this shop. read more

I've been coming here regularly ever since I bought my last car. The service is always excellent and the technicians and staff are honest people. Every time I go anywhere else, I get a little paranoid with the service I receive. Highly recommended. read more

I'm always looking to support a local business and heard great things from my neighbors about Pete's. First time I came in I got to hear about the family business and how things got started, which I love after working for my family's business for 14 years previously. I've been back 3-4 times already with both of our cars for oil changes and misc repairs but this last time took me by surprise. I was dropping off my wife's car for a couple repairs and oil change and just figured I'd wait it out and return some work emails, but they offered to drive me home since I just live around the corner. It was great customer service! I was able to get a lot of work done at home while they took care of the car. Great friendly, honest service right in Rolesville! read more

My car had a bolt embedded in the tire and I took it in and they fixed that and changed the oil immediately and they were very reasonably priced. The guys who work there are friendly and they didn't try to sell me anything else or tell me I needed a whole new tire, which I've had happened at other places in the past. I was also told at a place in Raleigh that my tires were bald and I asked theses guys today and they said I have quite a bit of tread left and showed me how to tell when they need replacing. They earned my trust and I'll definitely take my car back if something else goes wrong. It's a 20 minute drive for me from Raleigh, but worth it to find honest mechanics. The waiting room is comfortable and has free WiFi and coffee, do you can bring your laptop and still get work done while you wait. I think women especially get taken advantage of sometimes by mechanics, but these guys didn't do that and were very polite. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a good mechanic. read more

Great people. Quick and precise service. Very honest on what is needed. Always very personable and when they aren't busy, they usually have conversations unless you want your own space. Parker is the manager of this store and will tell you what you need. Very well run. Cant say enough good things about this place. Will remain a long term customer. read more

I've been looking for a new go-to auto mechanic for a while now after trying a few other local places. I came heard great things on the WFCI forum on Facebook and they didn't disappoint. I went in for an oil change and an inspection. I had an amazing experience. They fit me right in and promptly called when it was ready. Every employee I interacted with was super nice, caring, and honest. This place is a family run business who's goal is to be open for 100 years. I think he mentioned this is their 72nd year in business. You can tell they put their heart and soul into their business to make their customers and staff happy. I highly recommend this place and love supporting local businesses. I'll be back. read more

Friendly people but were really over charging us to replace our radiator by close to $400 more than we were charge by others. After successful inspections and oil changes we were hoping that we found a good place for our repairs but we will be taking our service elsewhere in the future. read more

Had some very mixed experiences and never really felt valued as a customer. Could go on but want to be fair. Will not be going back. read more

I'd write a longer review but don't have time. Suffice it to say that these guys are legit, and mostly they will serve you well. As with any auto repair place, be sure to ask questions and be educated about your options. They have always acted professionally towards me, and have let me know when some service may not be advisable even when it means turning away a billable (but ill-advised) request. read more

My car was overdue for an oil change but I didn't want to waste too much time and don't particularly care for the typical drive thru oil change establishments. I gave Pete Smith a try and was extremely satisfied. Not only was I in/out within 45 minutes but there were no high pressure "recommendations" that you sometimes get at some of the chains. I will be a returning customer. read more

It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving and I needed to get my tire fixed fast. I had come home from traveling to find it flat. My normal place was closed and decided to give Pete Smiths, which is a little further away, a chance. Boy did I make the correct decision. The friendly guys had two cars on the lift when I walked in. A friend had given me a lift, so I told the guys it would just be putting a tire on the rim, not having to put it back on the car. They told me ten minutes max. Great speed and service. Before they put the tire on, the attendant behind the counter gave me an option of which tire I wanted. He told me the benefits and price of each, then gave me his opinion, the cheaper, of which one I should take. I think I might have to start going that little distance to get some good car service. read more

Went in for an oil change this morning. They were friendly and helpful. They did not try and sell me other products or services which was a nice change from most places. I got a coupon off their website which took $10 off a basic oil change. read more

This was our first trip to Pete Smith Rolesville and we will definitely be back. Parker was friendly and engaging. There was no pushy upsell and we didn't feel uncomfortable in any way. Service was quick and satisfactory. Thank you for a very nice experience. You have gained a new regular customer. read more

James!!! He is the MOST friendly and honest guy there. He is at the front desk. Everyone else is rather rude. I go all the way there just because of james's kindness and honesty. Bit pricy though, paid 700+ on radiator and 300 for a tire :( read more

Been going here for years. Free wifi in the waiting area - first car place I know of that had this (many do know but they had it 3 years ago). The staff are always polite and courteous and, as far as I can tell, honest. I've had them tell me when things need to be changed, and when they don't. I've seen them tell someone when something wasn't safe to drive, and when it was probably a good idea to save their money on unnecessary work. They referred me to a dealer when they knew something was under warranty, where I'd get the work and parts for free. They said "we can do it here, but it'll be over $400, or you can go to the dealer and get it for free. Here's their number...". There's been some repairs they simply do not do (wheel rim repair, for example), and they've always given me reputable options for other service providers. For me, someone who's not a 'car guy', these guys have earned my trust over several years, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone (and I do). read more

I had a problem with a tire on my mom's VW this morning. They serviced the car immediately and fixed the problem!! I am so happy to have found a place that I can trust!! Not only were they very kind and friendly, their price was so reasonable!! read more

I always have a great experience here. Their prices are reasonable and they are very transparent about repairs that are needed. Quick service for oil changes and inspections. I highly recommend them! read more

Great service, reliable, trust worthy, friendly and family owned. Happy with my new tires! Found my new shop!

I pulled in the lot the other day to get an oil change, the guys were in the shop working on a car so I just pulled up to the bay. I waited 10 minutes and no one ever came out to see what I needed. So I pulled off and went to Valvoline on Six Forks in Raleigh. They came out to greet me and see what I needed as soon as I pulled into the lot...and they were even busy with 2 other cars. read more

Not car related, but Pete's in Rolesville has the nicest, most comfortable waiting area I have ever experienced. The guys that work there are down home (in a good way) and know their business. My husband does most of our maintenance, so I go there mostly for inspections. But when I do need something done, I know where to go! read more

I've been going to Pete Smith for almost five years. Overall, *very good* work, interaction, and flexibility. Some of the rates for different services seem a little high, but am satisfied to the point that I'm not going elsewhere. read more

Our van was having the classic whine you get when you are low on power steering. I'm all to familiar with this noise on our Dodge Grand Caravan, having replaced the rack & pinion, and a bypass for the power steering reservoir in the past. On this particular visit, I was *sure* we needed a new power steering pump. Another problem was a slight squeal when you turned the van off. James and his technician over at Pete Smith diagnosed the problem as a faulty alternator and serpentine belt. I was skeptical at first, but they were spot on. The van works great again. No more whine, no more squealing. They have a fair price (not cheap, but not dealer costs either). They communicate well with the customer and are actually a pleasure to deal with. I also didn't get any salesman BS. If you're in the Rolesville area and need car repair, try Pete Smith. Pick up some of their Garage BBQ sauce while you're there. read more
