All there is to go on is a little sign by the road that says "Free A/C check"... I thought I'd check them out after my new landlord and a new neighbor recommended them highly, since they are 10 minutes from me and my 2005 Prius had an electrical issue that needed to be addressed. They are professional, knowledgable, car hobbiysts (that's always good in my book), they gave me a ride back home from the shop, then came and got me when it was ready! Fair prices, high quality work, what more could one ask for? Keath, Your Handyman 404-274-1689

Dolphin has done some extensive work on my older car over the years, some that was quite expensive…read moreand I've wondered about the quality of their work as the results seem less than spectacular. I don't know much about cars in general and tend to accept what a mechanic tels me. That said, I had some necessary work done by a mechanic at Dolphin automotive the week after hurricane Helene came through. All the other local auto mechanic shops were destroyed or out of service due to lack of electric and water service. I was charged $95 for diagnosis (? I already knew what was wrong with the car) plus $95 for a switch (??) and $95 for labor. My car ran just fine when I drove it into Dolphin's station that day. After the work was done, which by the way, did not involve the engine, the car started missing badly as soon as I drove out. Back at the mechanic, told me a part had been broken and I needed to replace the entire assembly. Denied having broken the part, which I find hard to believe. Why would my car run fine before they worked on it, to not run afterwards? As I stated before, Dolphin mechanics have worked on my car several times and have done an ok job, nothing outstanding. I now suspect they pad their invoices but can't prove anything, just like I can't prove the worker broke my part. However, after this last incident I will no longer patronize the shop and will not recommend them to anyone I know.

Completely off the beaten path, middle of nowhere, someone else's property by mistake, mud, car on top of a stone, wheels spinning free, basically f.....ed. Carolina towing was amazing. They have sent their great crew with 2 wreck trucks. The 2 wheel drive didn't even attempted to go up there. The 4WD tried but it started spinning wheels on mud almost right away. They didn't give up and brought the truck all the way up the hill by hooking the whinch on trees and basically pulling their tow truck up the hill. Once up there, even more experience come into play and they hooked my car front tire to the whinch, around a tree and off she went, free and ready to come down. I really have to say what an amazong job and more so the attitude to don't give up was impressive. They committed to the success of the rescue, used all the equipment and experience they had and succeeded! Amazing job! If you ever will be as stupid as i was to get stuck lile that, call no one but Carolina Towing!!!!

Amazing Customer Service!…read more While following someone to drop off their car to be repaired, my tire blew out. I had a two-year old in the car and no AAA. It would have been more than $50 and more than an hour for someone to come fix it. The only luck that I had that day, was that my tire blew out close to Dave's. Joe drove across the highway to my car (saving me the towing fee,) figured out the tire size, ordered the tires and drove back to fix my car. He did all of this while I took my son home so that he could nap. If it wasn't for Joe, I would have been standing on the side of a highway, in the rain, with a cranky, tired two-year-old for what would have seemed like a lifetime. And I would've spent a lot more money. Thank you, Joe. Thank you Dave's.
