So happy to have found Mike & Tilden Car Care. They've done routine maintenance on both of our family's cars, each time we make an appointment and the car is taken to the back immediately, work is finished right when they say it will be, and their prices are very fair. Also, they never recommend unneeded or unnecessary service. Also, a big plus is that they're right next to Ironworks, so I can drop off my car and walk over for lunch while they're working on the car. Great service, fair prices, nice people. What more could you ask for? read more

Came in after a brake fluid light popped up. Helped ensure fluid levels were good and cleared the light for me. Friendly staff, ty.

Had my son bring his car here after being told by a dealership that it needed nearly $3k worth of work. I was skeptical of the dealer's recommendation to say the least and sought a second opinion. We live several hours away from Raleigh (my son was in town completing a summer internship) so we're very worried about how things would go. Dealt with a great employee named Mike who reassured us that he would make sure everything was ok. Ended up only needing about $600 worth of work and the car is running great. Thanks to Tilden for being both friendly and truly honest! read more

Once you go to this shop, you will never go to another. Give them a try. I did and I have used them for fifteen years.

These guys are the only mechanics I go to. They are honest and actually try to save you money instead of pushing fixes you don't need. We have been going here for years and I highly recommend them. Thanks Mike and Mike jr. John Carey read more

Highly recommend!! I read a bunch of reviews of this place and decided to check it out for myself. I got an oil change and two tires fixed. First, the owner Mike and his son are so kind and truly want to help people with their cars. Second, the price of the service was very reasonable, especially for an oil change. Lastly, I didn't feel like I was going to get ripped off and that means the world to me when dealing with auto repair shops! Will definitely be going back! read more

I went here for the first time last month and the service I received was AMAZING. It's a family owned and operated establishment and they treat you well and are respectful. I would recommend this place to anyone - I recommended it to my neighbor and she loves them too! read more

They were able to squeeze me in on thanksgiving week. I thought there was going to be at least a $500 bill coming way, turned out to be an easy fix and only cost me $25...They said some places would probably recommend replacing some parts that would be around $600 but that in their opinion that wasn't necessary and if it was their car they wouldn't do it. Refreshing to not have a mechanic try to push extra stuff on you. Definitely recommend and will go to them for all future mechanic needs read more

I've been a customer for years and have total trust in Tilden's care for my car.....they are professional, honest and make sure the car is in good working order...very pleased to be with Tilden's...... read more

Mechanics you can trust We have been customers for years now. I highly recommend Tilden Car Care Center. They've helped us with tires, brakes, inspection, and miscellaneous car care. Every time I'm there I am impressed all over again seeing their customer service with me and other customers. I don't take my cars anywhere else. read more

Car shop you can trust. One of the most honest and kind business owners I've met. There was a miscommunication about services required and so I recieved an oil change free of charge and the actual service at a discounted rate (even though I insisted not!). Extradionary customer service and timely delivery - go here, you and your car are in good hands. read more

Our family has been taking our vehicles to Tilden's for many years. We've also sent many a friend & family member to Tilden's. Mike, Sr. & his son Mike, are honest, knowledgeable, skilled professionals who are down to earth, practice integrity, & treat people the way they want to be treated. A great small family business I'm happy to support. read more

I love taking my car to Tilden's! I always like to support local businesses and I'm really glad I found this one. They offer a great service at a great price. What I really love about the place is that they always call to discuss what is wrong with the car and how much it will cost to fix. I feel that they are open and honest and never try to sell me more than I need. I can trust them and to me that is the best compliment anyone could give an auto shop. read more

I always take my car here because I trust them. Trust is important in this type if business and they have never betrayed it. Took my car in for a tire balance and alignment the other day and they said it didnt need aligning but they did balance and rotate the tires. A lot of places would "align" the car anyway just to make the money, so the honesty was appreciated. Always polite and seem to get the job done quickly. The only negative about this place is that when you walk in a lot of times there isn't anyone at the desk. Sometimes I have to wait a hot minute before someone knows I'm there...a bell would be an awesome addition here. Other than that I would highly recommend. read more

Best places ever. I went to aaa to get a alignment for my car, they told me it's going to cost 320.00 to get a part I really didn't need. Came to Tilden total car care center was shock to learn that I don't need that part. Love Tilden would recommend to everyone read more

My husband and I have trusted our cars with Mike & Mike for 2 decades! They have never failed us. Very trust worthy and knowledgeable mechanics. read more

These guys are great. I took an issue diagnosed at my normal place, which I trusted, but always charged for items that may not need replacing. Mike Jr diagnosed it and determined one of the repairs was not necessary. Mike Sr. took me to work and both fixed my car the same day. This is my new place! Please try it for repairs or maintenance. let's take care of these guys. They used to work for the dealerships but wanted to help people by not overcharging. Let's return the favor and take our cars to them. read more

Very friendly, trustworthy service! A rare find these days. We took a car in for a pre-purchase inspection from a nearby dealer, and I'm so glad we did. They know what they're doing and are very easy to work with. I hope they're able to stay in business for generations to come! read more

After multiple people independently of one another recommended Tilden to me, I decided to give them a try. I am so glad I did! I've found my mechanic for the life of my vehicle and stay in NC with Tilden. A pop and pop shop, owned by father and son, this place has great prices, great service and great guys. They do what they say, no more, no less. Nobody tried to upsell me on services or products I didn't need, they just took care of what I asked them to, and we were in and done. read more

When you are a female it's easy to not understand what's going on with your vehicle. Everything is explained in plain English. now deception or price gouging here. They treat their customers like they would want to be treated. Honesty, good quality and great services is what you will get when you take your vehicle here for service. read more

If you need a used car inspection prior to making an offer, this is the place to go. They will provide a write up of what needs attention and an estimated cost - so you can negotiate with the dealer on the price of the car. It's a flat fee, I don't remember what it was but I think it was $55 dollars or so. That money is money well spent. I spoke to a couple of people in the customer waiting area and they swear by them. So, if you're in North Raleigh this is the place to go to for an honest Mechanic. If you're in South Raleigh, go to Modern Service in Cary. You can't go wrong with either of these places. Hope this helps you out. read more

My roommate and I go here. The guys who work there know their stuff. I only say this because my roommate had some sensor issues and his previous mechanic said this stuff wouldn't be worth fixing. The Tilden mechanics diagnosed several issues quickly. read more

Father and son team business. Really care to do things right. They were friendly, fast, and fair. They took the time to call before they did anything, explained it all before and after and did their prices by the book and helped save me money on parts. I'd highly recommend them. I'm going back for my next service need. read more

WOW! My husband has been taking our cars to Tilden for years. Well, I took my car to the Toyota dealership and after I discovered that my car needed a new water pump, I called Tilden to check prices. Tilden wanted TWICE what the Toyota dealership wanted. Be sure to shop around. Just because someone is independent, doesn't mean they aren't over charging you, especially if you are a woman. read more

Every time I go to Tilden, I am treated with respect, honesty, and speed, comprehensive care for my car. It is difficult to find a car care specialist who treats your car with what it needs without trying to milk more out of the customer. This family run business shows integrity and values their name that stands behind their service. It is nice to be able to trust professionals to be professionals and here you can do that. read more

i wouldn't trust my car with anyone else. tilden's is a great local business where the owners and employees are knowledgeable and honest, and the prices are fair! read more

This place is amazing! They are such good, honest people who make me feel so comfortable about my car repair/care decisions! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! read more

They are so great! I went last week to get new tires and they were so helpful. I had no idea what I wanted and the gentleman at the front desk gave my plenty of advice and didn't try to up sell me at all. I was in and out quickly and received nothing but friendly service. read more

This is a great place. These guys are thorough and help you anyway they can. I am a regular customer.
