While I normally don't review auto repair places, I felt compelled to quickly review Carolina Tire. While they aren't the cheapest, they are by far the most professional, efficient and reliable auto repair business I've encountered during my time in Charlotte.
Some key points:
1. They charge a fair price and don't nickel and dime you on the "extra's" - what they quote is what they charge. Also some nice value-adds like free roadside assistance with oil changes.
2. They are professional - you are dealing with folks who view this as their career and honor their work.
3. Consistency - it's very underrated! When I need to get my oil changed or car fixed, I want the same experience and no surprises. Carolina Tire delivers on that promise.
4. They have a good waiting area, complete with a children's play area, big screen TV and free wifi.
Only downside is that their location is not handy for walking to the mall or restaurants - if you need a ride they will take you to Lynx, but the location doesn't have a lot of stuff immediately next door.
Overall I'm a big fan!
