The Best! Tommy and his team of mechanics are always friendly, fair and do excellent work! Beyond being great mechanics they are just really nice people! The price is always very fair fort he market and they are super helpful! Our family has been taking our cars to Tommy since 2013 and have only had positive experiences!
I may be biased but I love this place! Tommy and Blake are always ready to help their customers in any way possible. They don’t ever overcharge you and will give you their honest opinion on what they would do in your situation.Also, I get all my gas here!
I brought in my car due to the check engine light coming on. They were very friendly and kind and when it turned out I could get the repair completed by the manufacturer instead for free, they didn’t charge me for the diagnostic. Wonderful service and I will definitely be back!
Highly recommended place to get your vehicle fixed. Fair price and nice people. Excellent shop
Without a doubt, THE best place to fix anything related to your car. Tommy and his crew are the best!
I couldnt say anything but great things about Tommy and everyone over there. I work next door at The College Inn and they are nothing but amazing to everyone here. He will give you fair pricing (some of the best pricing Ive ever seen). He doesnt try to run you out of your money and false diagnosis. Ive not been to anyone else in Raleigh. Tommy will always get my business!
The only place I would recommend visiting to get your vehicle taken care of. Tommy and people there are super friendly.
Always do a great job. A mechanic you can trust
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT. My car broke down, was over heating, so Im thinking my belt broke. At approximately 2:45 p.m I Googled service stations near me, not knowing the area well. Well thank you Lord.. Mission Valley came up as an option. The 1st station I called told me he couldnt get to it till the next day. Then I called Mission Valley and a friendly voice said, Hello, this is Tommy.I explained my situation and he told me he would get it fixed that day. He gave me a # of a tow company that arrived 20 minutes after I called them. I was at Tommys repair shop at 3:30. Not only was my belt gone, but a pulley had fallen off with another pulley loose. After replacing 1 pulley, repairing the other, installing a new belt and installing a new negative battery cable, Tommys team had me on the road by4:45...Absolutely Amazing..and he charged me a very fair price. I work about 10 minutes from Mission and live about an hour away. Im bringing my car to Mission, 1st choice. I want to thank Tommy for assisting me so late in the day and getting me back on the road. A very honest, trustworthy businessman from what I experienced.
Simply put, Tommy and company are the best around. Mission Valley Service Station is a place you can trust. Quality work with a quick turn around and low price.
The world needs more people like Tommy! I had a radiator hose burst in my Nissan Murano. Took it to the nearest shop who quoted me very high and estimated quite a wait. A friend told me about Tommy and strongly recommended him but the shop was downtown, just a little too far for my gushing car to make it safely and so I hesitated because I would have to tow it. After some back and forth with my friend, I decided he sounded so good, it was worth having it towed. A few days later I got to meet the guy when I went to pick up my car!! He was just such a kindred spirit and I can see why my friend was such a fan. He charged me a fraction what the nearest shop quoted and this was about 2 years ago. His work was excellent and I haven’t had any issues since! Now I have an airbag sensor gone bad and I’m actually excited I will be going to see him again soon!
Trust! They live up to their word. My daughters car a student in Raleigh broke down. They reassured me they would find source and repair. They did that honestly accurately and fairly. Treated me like family. They have earned my business! Highly recommend
Tommy is an honest man. He will never overcharge you or try to rip you off. It is extremely rare to find such a car mechanic. I was referred to him by a friend and never had to go anywhere else in the last three years. If a repair is not needed, he will not do it just to make money. For instance, a few months back I asked him to rotate the tires. He said you dont need a rotation now when he would have easily done that and charged me. Once I went to him for some noise in steering. I thought the power steering fluid needs to be replaced. He topped off the fluid without any charge and asked me to come back if there are still any issues. He is an honorable man and you can trust him with your vehicle.
Tommy has consistently given me the best service Ive ever had from a mechanic. Ive just always taken it as a given that your mechanic would be trying to sell you more than you need, rip you off, and that you needed to check behind yourself with every move - Tommy flipped the script. Ive actually been there 3 times and he would only let me pay him once - he is a truly honest guy that is quick, knows his stuff, and is really looking out for you. Moving 30 minutes away soon and will probably still make the trip when necessary!
Best shop! Great service!
Honest guys that do good work. Hard to find places like this around Raleigh.
Outstanding service! Fair, VERY competent and honest! Been taking my cars for over 25 years!
It has always been my first choice for many years. Reasonable price and superb service. During this special time, please wear a mask to protect yourself. Take care.
Always a great experience at Mission Valley 66. Tommy and his team does excellent work!
Had a stressful situation with a bad flat tire. Gave Tommy a call, brought him my car and within an hour he had repaired the tire, and said there was no charge. Excellent mechanic, great person. This establishment shall have my business and recommendation moving forward.
Tommy is a good guy. I like him and others (one is his son) working there. This is my go to place because they are located close to me.However, I had hard time understanding Tommy during first few visits. If you are an international, there is a chance that you will face similar issue.Its a drop in place. No appointment is needed last time I checked. Just try to go early, if you go there during afternoon / late afternoon there is a chance that you will be asked to come back the next day.This happened to me few times.Apart from week days, they are open on Saturdays but closed on Sundays.For minor issues, their price is good. If your estimated cost of repairs rise around or above $500, I would suggest to talk to different mechanic shops to find the best deal, since there may be cheaper alternatives. This is actually true for all mechanic shops. We need to see all our options before paying big bucks, right ?They will sometimes refer you to different mechanic places since they dont have solutions to all car issues. But they will give you their honest opinion and you can rely on that.They will read your check engine light for free (very nice of them) and try tell you their best guess about the issue. You can then pay extra and request for an in detail enquiry. You wont have to use their facility to fix it.For NC inspection, they have particular time slot ( probably after 1 pm, I forgot exact one). So if you drop your car at 8:30 am and wondering what is taking them forever, its because they havent started the inspection yet. I would suggest to give a call and clarify this before you go.Overall, its a good place with a nice flavor of small family business. You will enjoy your experience with them if youre not too picky!
Fastest, easiest, and most professional car repair Ive ever had. Tommy and the mechanics were extremely communicative, pleasant, and polite throughout the whole (very quick) process. The reviews seemed almost too good to be true, but Mission Valley really is that good. The price and advice cant be beat either. Honestly, I wish Tommy could fix the rest of my life the way he fixed my car.
I’m not always writting review, but this time is not. Tommy and his son are very professional, honest, patient and polite! My car works perfectly since it was maintained by Mission. I also want to let others to know this is very good place to maintain your car.
Honest guys, doing an honest job. No haggling no overpricing no nonsense.
I have been going here since 3 years after attempted scams by AAA and the likes. Tommy is an honorable man and charges very reasonably. Best bet for NC State students!(For someone who doesnt write reviews much, repeatedly being offered great services is making me write one now)
Tommy (the owner-operator) is the man. His son is working there now too, and they are all great. Most importantly in the car repair business, they are always totally transparent and honest. They do good work and they are fair with pricing. My family in the area all take our cars there, and thats almost a fleet with just us. It can be a little tight parking, but what wouldnt be considering the location? Theyll deal with it once you hand over the keys anyways, so its no sweat. They also run like an old school service station, so if you pull in for gas, someone comes out and pumps it for you - usually Tommy himself. He is one of the hardest working humans Ive ever met. Early am - 6pm, Monday - Saturday. These guys are like family to us, but that isnt adding bias, they are legit.
Best auto shop in Raleigh and best place for students! The owner and workers are super kind and know what they are doing! This shop is fast, efficient and has great prices!!! I have gone to other places and have been scammed, but never here!
I went to Mission Valley 66 based off of the other reviews that I have saw online and they did not disappoint! The gentleman here are honest mechanics and the turn around was super quick. If you need to get your car worked on I would recommend Mission Valley 66 ten out of ten times.
I have never felt being cheated here. When they are unable to do some repairs such as my catalytic converter they have referred me to excellent and honest places. I am very satisfied with these people. Tommy is getting very old and his son is now interfacing with people. His son is also very good and polite. People, dont get fused by Tommys a little rude and hurrying behavior, cut him some slack for being old and honest. They have done many small repairs for free such as cleaning a clogged up AC drain pipe, topping up my steering fluids, and trip checks. They are also very fast and efficient. They work in old style, so they dont have a webpage dont have an appointment system, but, the work just gets done! Being almost centrally locatedbetween the main campus and centennial campuses of NC State University gives it a 5 star for convenience! I have been using their services since 2015!
Tommy is by far the best and most helpful mechanic out there. If he cant do something for you, he sends you in the right direction and goes the extra mile! Thanks Tommy!
Great place to take your car. Ive known the owner for 35 years and he goes the extra mile for every customer. Very affordable and honest about what work he does. Doesnt try to up-sale stuff you dont need. I highly recommend this shop to everyone.
Tommy doesnt overcharge and he is really honest about the repairs needed!
I started going here what must be 12 years ago.Years later, when my girlfriends and her parents car broke with unexpectedly this was the place I sent them too.Is it fancy? Do you have a luxury waiting room? no. But you get reliable, affordable and trustworthy service for your vehicle. Something that Is hard to find.Tommy and his crew actually diagnose problems Instead of throwing parts at a problem. They figure out what’s really wrong, and only replace what really needs replacing. This results in $$$ in savings.If you are a student, a parent, or somebody who just needs a repair, I can’t think of any other place for general auto repair.
Tommy is always amazing. I wouldnt trust anyone else with my car. I see him for everything from oil changes to engine issues. Ive been going to him for almost 5 years, and my dad has been going to him for car maintenance and other car issues for as long as I can remember. Hes a great guy who runs a great business. All of his employees are outstanding as well!
TOTALLY HONEST mechanic -- not a phrase you hear very often -- but that is the case here ----- referred many friends here -- Tommy is the greatest guy ever -- an let me stress -- is TOTALLY HONEST !!! cannot go wrong here !!!
Outstanding customer care. Excellent staff. Goes the extra mile every time. Extremely knowledgable and honest.
These guys are great! Honest, quick, kind, and always give a great price. Genuinely sometimes I feel like I should pay them more for their work. I don’t have any reason to go anywhere else.
Good workshop with knowledgeable and friendly mechanics; Tommy is the head mechanic. They will provide you great service at an affordable rate compared to most other shops.
I’ve gone here all four years of college. Tommy is the most respectful and fair mechanic around. I’ve had my share of flat tires and oil changes and Tommy has always helped me out the day of. All other mechanics here are very kind and helpful as well.
Doesn’t charge too much... the mechanic has great attitude and wisdom about cars... i have gone there many times... if you know whats the problem he will fix it... i would recommend inspect the car in a branded shop to find out whats wrong and then bring it here to fix it.
Best mechanic in Raleigh. Always honest and reasonably priced.
Tommy and his team are amazing I go to no one else since my dad introduced me to them. There are great prices. He will tell you what is wrong. If it is safe and the least expensive route to take. They truly understand the average persons dilemmas. I send anyone I know to them if they are willing to take the trip. I now live in Durham and still go to him. Im not changing mechanics unless he tells me he or his team are coming here!
Tommy has fixed my truck so many times, I dont know where to begin. Every time I drop my truck off here, I know its going to be fixed quickly at a fair price. Its nice to have a mechanic I can trust!
Tommy the owner is awesome and highly knowledgeable, friendly, fits you in, and fixes your auto first time. Best rates and work around!
Tommy is awesome! Very sweet and efficient! I’ve taken my car there twice now with issues that were fixed the same day and didn’t cost me much. He recently fixed my car for a leaking coolant hose for only $120 when pep boys was going to cost almost $800! Definitely recommend this auto shop! :)
I almost hate to give this place away but if youre not taking your car here for service but missing out. Tommy is the nicest most honest guy ever. This is old school service
Tommy’s shop is amazing! Brought my car in at 9 had it back by 2. Very reasonably priced & honest about what needs to be done. Highly recommend!!
Tommy and his team are great. They have kept my 22 year old Corolla going for years, and take good care of my 3 year old car as well. Knowledgeable, fast, efficient and great prices. No waiting room, no frills, and theyre not going to spend 30 minutes trying to figure out some nuanced performance issue - but they are fantastic at what they do.
Tommy is very freindly and pateint, as well as with regular price.
There is no better place to get your vehicle serviced/ repaired. Friendly, helpful, and these guys know their stuff. I have been going there for years and Ive never been disappointed.
Always go there for my car. its very comfortable, efficienct,reasonable.
Tommy is the best mechanic in the Raleigh area. He is also a really nice guy - and fair/reasonable in his pricing. He is an honest man - and does not find things and do extra work that does not need to be done. I trust him completely and refer him to all of my friends.
Tommy has been servicing my car since my first year of college. 8 years later and Im still going back. He is honest about the urgency of various repairs to your car, and will charge you fairly for parts and labor every time. He has always gotten my car back to me within 2 days, no matter how serious the repair. He is a trustworthy guy, and I am happy to be his patron every single time.
I highly recommend Tommy and his crew here. Probably Tommys best point is that he will tell you what you really, legitimately need -- hes obviously not in it to up-sell you things. He wants to efficiently fix your car and move on to his next job. Have been taking all my cars here for 10 years, and its always a good experience. Theres a reason hes been in business there for decades.
Thank you Tommy. My cars engine light was on. Tommy fixed it with no charges. Cool~
My mother used this place for decades going back to early 70s. Tommy and his crew became my go-to guys for car help. I could not have asked for a better group of people to help me any time any day. He continues to ask about mom who has since been moved to a memory assisted living facility waaay out of town. Now, my daughter takes her car there. 3 generations still loving the service at Mission Valley.... YOU GO, TOMMY AND GUYS! Thank you!
Tommy is great. Hell do you right and always surprises me with the cost of service. Hell give you an estimate and its always been lower than that when hes finished. No appointment necessary for me and hell give you a call at every step of the way to make sure youre in the loop
Tommy and everyone at Mission Valley 66 are great! I have been coming here for 3 years now. They take care of my Subaru very well. This place is no frills and all straight talk.
Tommy is the man and seems like he truely enjoys what he does. Ive been coming here for about 6 years with every car Ive ever owned. Very direct, up front, and honest. There was one time I came in with a very simple problem that i was having with my headlight. The KIA dealership said theyd have to take it apart and itd be at least 50$. I came here and he fixed it instantly on the spot with ease and when I asked how much he said dont worry about it. Great to find someone and somewhere where it feels like they are truly trying to help and not just make money as their #1 priority.
Tommy is really a great helpful guy that I recommend to everyone. It was late and my battery has died. AAP couldnt change it because the car was German. Tommy was the closest shop in Western Blvd and I was lucky to still find him around. He accepted to replace my battery while it was past closing hours. He knew what he was doing, and thanks to him I didnt had to struggle the next day fixing the battery and commuting to work.
Tommy is honest and knows his business. Youll find a group of people who work hard and will walk you through what is wrong with your car.
I took my car there and could tell they were honest by the way customers were treated. There services are slightly limited, to regular maintenance and repairs, so if you need your engine re-built or transmission repaired youll have to take it somewhere else. The same guys have been fixing cars there for 40 years. It was the first time a mechanic had come in right on their quote in a long time for me. whew! same day service
I went there last Friday (04/28/2017) to do a full system check, because I will drive over 3000 miles next week. They did the check and make the following low-level mistakes:1. There should be no oil change at all, because I did Oil change just two weeks ago. The sticker clearly states the next oil change should be made when milage is 95900miles and the current reading is 91000miles. They peeled the sticker off and did the oil change, because of the lower quality of the oil, the next oil change will have to be made at 93900 miles. I really dont know why they made such a low-level mistake. Although, Tommy agreed to waive the oil change fee, it still made me feel very sorry about the mechanics there.2. Before I did the check there, the A/C works perfectly. Immediately after that, I notice the air-conditioner does not blow cool air when the car is idling at a stop sign. I went back to them, tell them the story today (05/01/2017). Tommy said he will charge me for $70.0 dollars and deny they did anything to the A/C. However, I do not trust them anymore, I went to another car shop, they did the diagnosis at $60.0 and found out the fan was unplugged and did not get plugged back, which caused the problem. I am totally disappointed at Tommy and their service.I will not go there anymore.Plus, there is a gas station and sometimes they smoke when they work there. This is a very dangerous environment!
Super fast, very affordable + friendly
Tommy and his team are great, honest and friendly. Excellent service with reasonable price.
Tommy has been my families mechanic since as long as I can remember and probably before I was born. Hes honest and runs a great shop. Ive been going to his shop for 20+ years now and never had a problem. I would and do recommend him to anyone that asks.
I love this place. A few years ago I had a flat and needed a new tire. I dropped it here, picked up that afternoon, $130. I was shocked, because Id previously been told elsewhere that my car has performance tires that are a non standard size and the cheapest option was about $200. I later went back to the other place and they sheepishly were like oh yeah...With a previous car, I went up on a curb and dislodged the plastic undercarriage. I brought it to Tommy and he looked at it and said he could order the part and replace it and it would be a few hundred, or he could zip tie it in place and charge me $20. Those zip ties lasted the rest of the life of the car.Love this place, honest pricing and honest advice.
Excellent and honest service and a very kind staff. I will definitely be coming back in the future.
Very honest straightforward service. The owner, Tommy, is not the nicest person from customer service perspective, but he gets the job done at very reasonable price.
I have been going to see Tommy with my car since I moved to Raleigh 6 years ago on the recommendation of my brother who has used mission valley since starting at NCSU in 1996. I have never been upset with the service or the prices. Tommy and his guys are honest and straight-forward. They are efficient and tell you what is wrong and what it will take to fix it with no sales gimmicks or run around. No slick mechanic here. Tommy is a great guy and as a young female I have never felt uncomfortable dealing with him or his other mechanics. I often recommend Tommy to co-workers and clients.
Tommy is a great mechanic, he knows his stuff. If he cant fix it he always gives great recommendations for local shops. I dont take my car anywhere else.
Excellent work. Very fair price. I have used this shop for 17 years.
Weve been going here for at least the last 15 years. Tommy and his crew are awesome. Honest and fair.
Very good and impressive job they do. There is always a long queue of repair orders so need to wait several hours. But luckily I got my three repairs the same day.
Tommy is the best mechanic. Ive used him for more than 10 years. Honest. Affordable. Likable.
The best shop Ive come across since moving to Raleigh. The guys are straight forward, honest and fair.
Great service. Most important thing is they are petty reliable.
Its a reliable repair center but they usually charge around 3 times more for car parts.
Awesome service, you cant beat these guys! Theyre good, local guys who know how to keep their customers coming back.
Tommy is the best mechanic around. All my family members use him. Honest prices and great work.
Went in for an inspection on a Saturday afternoon. Tommy quoted me 15-20 minutes and it took him 15 minutes. Very easy and friendly. Would highly recommend.
Tommy is a honest man and Im glad Ive been his customer for 5 years. I really suggest him for NCSU students (specially international students). Unlike other mechanics in this area who wants to mislead you and take your money, he always wants to do his best.
Best, most honest mechanic Ive ever worked with. Totally trust Tommy and his crew.
Very polite and honest. Didnt charge me for a minor check up. I highly recommend this place!
When I lived in the NCSU area, this was my go-to shop. They are always amazing and very helpful. I wish their parking lot was bigger though!
Great service
My family and I have trusted Tommy for yearrrrrrrs with a handful of our various cars. He is such a workhorse that repairs are done so quickly and he is completely transparent every time with every thing he says about your vehicle.
I have been going here for years. Still do even though Im in Durham now. They are honest and know what theyre doing!
Great service! I had a broken axle in the evening, and they had it ready to go by 9:30 the next morning for a very reasonable price!
Great service, with great people who helped me get back up and running!
Tommy, the owner, is always honest and fair. Ive been coming here for ten years and have always had excellent service.
Had a used car inspection. By far the best price in town, but the report was lacking detail. Id go to these guys again for routine maintenance and service items.
Best place in Raleigh
Spent 250$ for a problem. Turns out they just installed new parts without even diagnosing the problem properly. waste of money and a lot of time. Back to square one. Really disappointing.
Honest, fast, reliable, and friendly. Great guys, great garage.
NC State students are lucky to have a shop this honest, up-front, and helpful so close to campus. Been my main mechanic for four years.
The mechanic here is very honest and helpful.
Car goes in without problems=car comes out driving horrible with more problems. Suggest a new problem and more costly solution...Wife trusted you for too long, lets see if you jerk me around like you did her...see you on Monday big boy!
Great service at reasonable prices.
Tommy the owner is a really good and honest man
