My mind was put to ease with the evaluation, which was greater than I expected -- truly surprised me with the thoroughness. They gave an honest appraisal of all the things my car needed, including a mindfulness towards the oil, and new front tires (which I clearly needed before running anything over), and assured me I was good for the return trip home without any immediate repairs or parts done in their shop. I followed through with their advice when I did get home, including getting new tires, and it truly made a difference in how the car was driving. Wish they were my home mechanic!!

The closest Honda dealer to Kill Devil Hills said they could schedule me for five days later. Luckily, a local told me about Marshall. The best way I can summarize this is, if you're in the OBX and need a mechanic, call Marshall. He spent some time diagnosing my vehicles problem, called his parts supplier, fixed the problem, and had me back on the road quickly. His rates are very reasonable and he knows what he's doing.

AVOID THIS SHOP! Extremely dangerous work, hidden fees, and unprofessional behavior…read more I brought my 1997 Suzuki Marauder 800 to Mannkaniks Automotive & Towing for carburetor repair. They kept my bike for over 45 days and charged me $613.28--over $80 more than the originally agreed estimate of $528 without my authorization. When I picked up the bike, it was completely unrideable and extremely unsafe: 1. Stuck Throttle: The accelerator jammed completely open while riding, creating a massive safety hazard. The mechanic tried to excuse it by falsely claiming my 1997 bike had "cruise control" (it does not). 2. Active Fuel Leak: A severe gasoline leak was dripping directly onto the hot engine from the carburetors, posing an immediate fire hazard. 3. Unjustified Charges: They charged extra for shop supplies and fuel without providing any purchase receipts for parts or gas. When I confronted the mechanic on-site and refused to sign the delivery invoice due to these dangerous defects, he became aggressive. He even admitted in text messages that the throttle was sticking and wrote textually, "I've done all I can do." I had to tow my motorcycle home for safety, and a certified diagnostic at another repair shop confirmed the active fuel leak and dangerous throttle issue. Instead of taking responsibility, the owner has resorted to harassing me for cash after I filed a bank dispute. Take your vehicle elsewhere if you value your safety and money!

It still wasn't ready even though in stock, so my husband complained and the guy said well it's July 4th weekend as if that was an excuse. Then I went over to talk to them 4 days early August 13 because I needed my inspection done and I needed a new tire and wanted to make sure they ordered it before I came for my inspection. I even told the guy about what happened to my husband earlier and how rude the guy was before. So I wait 4 days, go to trouble to drop my car off, get my husband to drive me and I get a call that they forgot to order the tire 4 days ago. Let's say I was not happy. When I went to get my car back the older gray haired guy wouldn't even listen to my complaint. I've been taking whatever car I owned there for 15 years. Something major has changed there and they don't care to apologize ever and they are not thorough. Their whole attitude is different. I will never go back there again.
