What Customers Say

William Strohmenger

“Extremely happy I found Cary Automotive Repair. As my car gets higher in mileage, I’ve been looking for a shop that can help me stay on top of maintenance and repairs without breaking the bank. It’s refreshing to find a place that focuses on what actually needs to be done instead of pushing unnecessary services or repairs. The team was honest, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. It’s not easy finding a repair shop you can trust, but I feel confident bringing my vehicle here and will definitely be returning in the future.”

Michael Knowles

“I can't thank Cary Automotive enough for helping with our family van during spring break. We had stopped into Raleigh for a few days to catch a Hurricanes game on our way to South Carolina and our van cut out on a Sunday. Thankfully I chose to have it towed to Cary Automotive before getting a rental and being on our way. They could have taken advantage of the situation, but were honest and made what turned out to be a fairly simple fix. They also identified a little skip in my transmission and suggested a fluid change which ended up fixing the issue. It was very calming on vacation knowing they were taking such good care of us and not breaking the bank! If I lived in the area I wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else!”

Anakita Desir

“This place has been my go-to since I moved to the Triangle! They always do a thorough check and explain what's going on with my car clearly and concisely! AND they don't overcharge”
