My car air conditioner wasn't quite keeping me cool. I brought it to Blacks for a recharge and…read morethey noticed the compressor/condenser were starting to show functionality issues. So I decided it was time to replace it on my 14 year old car, especially with summer just around the corner. I made an appointment and returned the vehicle Tuesday night for an early appointment. By noon the next day it was completed. It works so well I no longer need to run my fan at full blast. Of course replacing the condenser and compressor isn't cheap- but it was a whole lot less expensive getting the work done before complete failure!

STAY AWAY FROM BLACK'S unless you have more money than good sense…read more I'm not really a car guy, so when my Audi Q5 began making strange noise, I used ChatGPT to diagnose that I had a bad CV axle. I took my vehicle to Black's at 1201 Highway 17 S, North Myrtle Beach, and they confirmed that the CV axle needed to be replaced. Including labor, their quote was $2300. According to Kelly, the OEM part from Audi would be $1850, and the aftermarket part would be $1830. With this information, I went onto eBay and found new OEM axles for as little as $80. I then called two local auto parts stores, and their price was $230. One of the two stores gave me the name of a local mechanic who could be trusted. I reached out to the mechanic, and he said he could do the repair in one hour for $85. I immediately went to Black's and asked for my car back. I explained to Kelly that I found a much cheaper option. She looked me straight in the face and said she could not find that part for less than $1830. When I went to the auto parts store less than half a mile away, the guy there told me that Black's buys their parts from their store. My car is now repaired and working great again. So let me sum it up... Black's quote: $2300 Part - $1850 Labor - $450 My solution: $375 Part - $240 Audi bolts - $50 Labor - $85 I saved $1900!! Trust me when I say, I will NEVER even talk to Black's again. They will look straight into your eyes and smile as they try to rip you off.

I go end and pay that 470 and they tell me my warranty doesn't cover it, I then call my warranty and they tell me there was never a claim submitted. They end up having my car for two weeks and I have to pay another 500 on top of that for a headlight. Within this I would get my car back and my car door wasn't locking there was parts becoming unloose and scraping the floor with a terrible sound when I went over 20 mph just problem after problem. I finally get my car and I have parts hanging from the bottom of where my broken headlight was. Genuinely the worst shop ever, scammed me out 400$ and left me carless for days and the worst hospitality especially that dude Rick. I called them and tried to get my 400$ back and they told me that they charged that diagnostic test for a different reason and they had to hide a wire from a specialist from my warranty and got into a screaming argument with me genuinely the worst most disgusting people ever. Do not come here if you genuinely like your car. Fakest mechanic in all of horry county.Do not recommend. For the sake of yourself do not bring your car to these fools of mechanics.

Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had with an auto repair shop. I brought my car to…read moreMeineke because I was having an issue with it starting. Even though I originally did not believe I needed a starter, I was told that the starter needed to be replaced. I went ahead with the repair because I trusted that they had properly diagnosed the problem. After getting my car back, it was doing the exact same thing it was doing before I brought it in. I took it back, and then I was told that the battery had been damaged because of the starter. That did not make sense to me, but I went out and purchased a brand-new battery anyway. Unfortunately, my car STILL had the same problem. I brought the car back again, and only then was I told that I needed an alternator. What makes this even more frustrating is that my receipt actually says "customer said car need alternator." So if I was already telling them that I believed the alternator was the problem, why wasn't the vehicle properly diagnosed before I was charged for a starter? I also have a recording of them stating that I needed a starter. At this point, I feel like my car was never properly diagnosed in the first place. They saw that the car wasn't starting and replaced the starter instead of fully investigating the actual cause of the problem. I spent money on a starter and then a new battery, and my original problem was never fixed. If something isn't broken, don't replace it just because the car won't start. Properly diagnose the vehicle first. This experience has completely destroyed my trust in this shop. I expected professional service and an accurate diagnosis, but instead I feel like I was charged for repairs that did not solve my problem. I would not recommend this shop to anyone based on my experience.

I recently brought in my low-mileage Nissan Armada for service before an extended trip of several thousand miles. During the oil change, some oil was spilled. The team wiped it up, added water, and mentioned I might see a drip under the car. I understand mistakes happen, and this didn't seem intentional. They also recommended a radiator flush, which I agreed to based on what they said was Nissan's recommendation. However, when I got home, I noticed more than a small drip--it was a noticeable mess under the car. In the dark, I couldn't tell if it was oil or antifreeze. Mind you this car has never had a leak, has 32,000 miles on it. I returned the next day, and Carter, the tech, was very helpful. He explained it was antifreeze, possibly from a bubble or overflow, and assured me everything was fine. Unfortunately, after getting home again, I saw more leaking. This forced me to postpone my trip a day and return the following morning. Carter and Brian inspected the car and found a hose they believed was the issue. After driving and letting the car sit, I still saw drips on my normally clean driveway. My car was fine before service, but now I've lost confidence in taking it on a long trip. I ended up using my older car with 160,000+ miles instead. Since the undercarriage wasn't cleaned, I can't tell what's new versus old residue. The owner responded to my initial post and asked me to call the manager. I called on 11/25 and spoke with Jake, the assistant manager. He took my information and said he'd pass it along. Understanding the holiday timing, I expected a short delay--but as of now I still haven't heard back. I've since had someone take the car to Nissan for a full check to confirm it's safe. My expectation was that Take 5 would address this promptly and work to make things right. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened. Two weeks later after reaching out to Take 5 as they replied to do. Still no call back from them. Nissan did have to repeat the service and clean the motor because of the mess underneath. Take 5 could very easily follow up, but they have decided not to. They appear not to be intrested in making things right. No I would not recommend this business.
