Amazing hospitality. Needed an early inspection since leaving town for awhile. These guys obviously had a crowded house of vehicles on a Friday. With their amazing, customer service, they gladly took it in and helped me so I could head out of town.
Stopped in just before 5 with a tire pressure indicator light on, Plugged it, aired it up and i was out the door in 20 minutes, no charge. 15 years ago i dropped by for a flat; plugged, aired up, and out in 20 minutes, no charge. Same guy- Gary behind the counter and the same guy fixed the tire as did before. I see them for inspection and other services as well, but today saved today and tomorrow. It would have been flat by morning. Thanks Gary and staff
I left my car from eight until 4:30 to have tire pressure checked and an oil change. I was told that the oil change couldn’t be done that day but that oil would be added. When I picked my car up I was told that the tires only needed air and there would be no charge. I asked much oil was needed. Was told: ‘not much’ but my model car is terrible and has all kinds of trouble- watch out. This morning, the oil alert light was still on. I bought oil and funnel at WalMart where great guys added > 4 quarts. I saw the dipstick show levels before and after. I am 1000 miles from home with 3 kids under 7. How disappointing to have this kind of neglect.
Its not often you come across an automotive repair shop that really goes above and beyond the way these guys did. I came in for an a/c diagnostic. And despite how busy and booked up they were, when they learned I was traveling out of town they took the time to help me out by pulling it in and taking a look. I would absolutely recommend going here.
Class act! My daughter came home for Fathers Day day and her tire went flat on Sunday. Had a visible screw in it. She needed to be back Mon AM. Took it to Walmart Sun and they wouldnt touch it. Took it to these guys Mon @ 8AM. They fixed within 15 mins and did not charge a dime. Old school customer service! Thanks PN Tire and Auto!
Love this place!! They plugged a tire for me and didnt charge me. After that my daughter decided to take her van there for tires, brakes, and an oil leak. Her van is driving wonderfully now! She expected a larger bill. It was very reasonable. The owners are so kind to my baby girl and grandkids. That puts them high on my list of favorites!!
Great service and price 👍
Prompt, professional and cost effective service (flat tire repair).
They are very helpful and most of honest to the customers
We were headed back home to Florida when my tire got a big hole in it and fix-a-flat wasn’t an option. We got here 10 minutes before closing and they were quick to help & were not rude at all. Definitely thankful for them & would recommend them to friends & family that live here.
Highly recommend! Kind and professional. I had a nail in my tire while visiting the area and they took care if it quickly. Amazing customer service.
Ive been using Porters Neck Tire & Auto since 2003; 17 years. I trust them w/my cars. If they say it needs to be replaced, it *needs* to be replaced. I know a little about cars & I know when an auto dealer is trying to pump up the bill. Ive never had that @ P.N. Tire & Auto. I believe all their mechanics are A.S.E. certified; many have been @ P.N. Tire & Auto f/many years. They are busy all the time because they are that good & trustworthy.
Amazing people! Honest car care! This business exemplifies living/working by the golden rule!
So grateful for this wonderful shop. We are on vacation with family at Topsail, noted a flat on our vehicle. We topped the apparent slow leak with air and drove over....did a drop in. The staff hopped right on it, repaired the tire in 15 minutes....NO CHARGE! Refused a tip. This shop sets the standard for decency and kindness and superb customer service. Thanks so much!
Thank ya much жь
I will always be bringing my car here! Highly recommended! Not only are they efficient, they are HONEST!!
Great people.. fabulous service
They were awesome to me, the price matched the cheapest tires I could find on the internet, and once they plugged a hole for freeAwesome company
Fast super Friendly service. Hard to come by nowadays. Must go here for tires.
Quickest, most honest, most affordable mechanic Ive found in Wilmington. I bring them all of my cars - domestic, imported, new, and classic. Had a very slow leak in a tire on my Lexus last week and it took them two days to finally find it because it was so small, and even after having to remount and reseal my tire to fix the issue, they didnt charge me a penny. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
Moved to Wilmington recently and found them close by to where we moved in Porters Neck.Great people. Honest and professional. Great and efficient service. Very fair pricing.Happy to have a local mechanic for my family to count on.
Porters Neck Tire & Auto has exceptional customer service. They are honest and can count on our business for years to come.
I had been told by several people how great the service was and how helpful they were so i took my car in bc it had a brake alert up he scheduled me for 2 days later which i understand hes busy but brake problems are serious so i asked if hed just walk outside for a second and at least look at the warning so that i knew if I had anything to worry about that was serious and if I could still drive the car and he wouldnt even come outside a few feet away to look at the alert they did more than that at autozone they wouldnt diagnose the issue but at least gave me ideas of what it could be so I decided not to bring my car in and go to the dealership (which i was trying to avoid doing) to get it fixed i heard that Gary the owner is a very helpful and good person and that wasnt him i spoke w but I think they need someone different to run the counter
For the last 3 years I have had my car and SUV serviced and repaired at this shop only. Why--- because they are honest, reliable, knowledgeable. I have never felt I was overcharged for any work completed and his estimates are very accurateRoger Swilley
So I had some issues with what I assumed was my battery. After a jump, I drove my Jeep there and told them thats whats I thought I needed. No appointment or anything, I was in and out in less than an hour with a good quality battery with a warranty. The price was way less than I anticipated. Im a travel nurse from Pennsylvania and these wonderful people just gave me one more dose of that southern hospitality
Staff were extremely helpful and quick when we needed a tire patched. I’d recommend them to anyone in a pinch.
Excellent job best work in town. Folks go by and see Gary hell treat you and your car right.
Great customer service. Fair Prices.
We were so lucky to meet Gary and his wife Kim about 10 years ago when my daughter started driving. They have been wonderful to us ever since. Weve had a few last minute repairs when the kids were home from college and Gary has always taken care of them. I wouldnt use anyone else and highly recommend them!!! Thanks for always taking care of us!
Great customer experience here. I had a slow leak in a tire and called in and they told me to stop by and within 10 min they had the issue resolved (nail) and had me back on the road. Very professional and fast service. Ill be back for sure.
Very professional, great service and very honest people!!! I would highly recommend them!!!
AS THE OWNER I DONT REPLY AS ALL MY CUSTOMERS KNOW ME BUT IN MR MURRYS CASE I FEEL THE NEED TIMELINE 6/2011 WE REPAIRED BRAKES AND ON 3/2014 2.5 YRS LATER HE HAD A COOLANT LEAK FROM RADIATOR DRAIN VALVE INSTEAD OF RADIATOR WE WERE ABLE TO REPLACE DRAIN. 9/2014 CAME IN WITH BUSTED UPPER RADIATOR HOSE DEALER ONLY PART TOOK 2 DAYS TO GET ALL OK.

If you need service in Wilmington this is the place to go. Fast, friendly service. Honest mechanics who do the job right. They dont try to sell you things that you dont need. They quickly found the problem with my truck and fix it right. Ill definitely come back for all of my service needs. Thanks.
Gary the owner probably provides the best service to me out of any servicer or business I have ever been affiliated or dealt with in my life. I only hope I can provide my own customers half the satisfaction and service that Gary provides to me on my truck. Im sure there are other good car mechanics but man it would be hard pressed to find someone as good as Gary.
Great, efficient service; friendly and generous team. While visiting NC, I stopped in one morning - without an appointment - to ask for help with a damaged tire. Within twenty minutes I was on my way. Highly recommended.
Fast and friendly service with a smile. A very popular, and reputable mechanic. Their calendar is generally quite full, so call in advance to get an appointment. With that said, they are really good about time management and getting your service done within the quoted amount of time.
Gary is wonderful to deal with. Honest and fair pricing. The shop is very busy at times so it is not always the quickest option but worth the wait for a trustworthy mechanic!
Love this shop
Great service after we popped our tire on vacation. Timely and accommodating !
Moved down here early June from Vermont, my F250 had a problem in the front end. They diagnosed, fixed and was below the quoted price. Went back for another repair on a another vehicle. Fixed right away, done sooner than they said it was going to be and didnt charge me a bit. (Small repair) but they still had to pay the mechanic for his time. I recommended them to a friend of mine down here and they were just as happy as I have been. Currently shopping for new tires now and they will be my only call. You simply just can not ask for a better business example than what these people are doing. Thanks, Bryan
Gary and Kim are great. We have been taking our vehicles here for years. Great prices and better customer service.
Always great service at a great price.
I have brought my car (Lexus) and truck (Land Rover) to Porters Neck Tire & Auto on 3 occasions. Gary and his team have quickly diagnosed the repairs that were needed. They provide honest, fast and very reasonably priced vehicle repair services.
Great service. On time and well done.
Very kind and honest place. Would recommend to anyone!!!
My wife and I were traveling North to visit our son in Washington, DC and while detouring in Wilmington, NC to visit friends, we ran over some nails which caused our tire to deflate. Garys team patched our tire quickly, but we were concerned about the potential for further leaks while on our trip and we decided to replace the rear tires on our Hyundai Equus. Within a few hours they received the new tires and replaced them at a very FAIR price. They treated us honestly and fairly and went out of their way to get our issues resolved quickly. We would recommend them to all!!!
Gary seems like a competent easy person to work with. However, recent experiences are not so good. The lady there is short with you and not very friendly. The work is so so and price quotes are not communicated well enough.
Excellent service, reasonable pricing, family owned and operated, a local favorite.
Great guys and customer service.
Had a friend recently drop his car off at this shop while borrowing my car for the duration. The first visit was a week with their shop which in that time they were able to replace 1 part needed. Took the same car back 1 week later for ongoing issues mentioned during the first visit. After a few days we call and was told all they have done was test drive the vehicle. There is no followup with this company in the 2 week time frame that they had this car out of 3 total weeks we received no call from them with an update at all. On the 7th day we call during the last visit and hear your car is ready to be picked up. Well why didnt you call and tell me that yourself for all we know it could have been ready days prior.... when we get there we find out it took them a week to test drive the vehicle and that was essentially it as they found no issues. 2 days later we take to the dealership they diagnose a couple factory recalls and fix the issue that they could not in 2 weeks they had the vehicle.
Very honest people here that genuinely care about your needs. I appreciated the great service!
Called less than an hour to close with a nail in my tire on my way out of town to evacuate for Florence. Noone was open, even Walmart had closed early. The lady said I would have to wait maybe up to 30 mins, but they could squeeze me in. Drove in and they patched up the tire in less than 10 minutes. Everyone was incredibly nice and it was a wonderful experience!
Nice guys. Do good work
Just moved to the Porters Neck area and discovered I had a slow leak in one of my front tires. Went to PN Tire and Auto and the owner took my car immediately and found a small nail in the tire. He didnt even charge me for the quick service. Truly professional and accommodating. I highly recommend PN Tire and Auto, and will definitely take my cars here in the future.
They have been very helpful
Family own business! They will take care of you ! I have been using them for a few years now. Guys pretty busy so make sure you schedule appointment and it worth waiting few days or a week! Sometimes its hard to reach them over the phone but just keep calling!!
Great service and a wonderful family i highley recommend!
This company plugged my tire for free so I went back when I needed new tires. They helped a friend in need with her car for little money. Good people!
Brought my truck into get a flat tire repaired, they are the quickest, nicest and best priced int town. If you don’t live near Porters Neck, it’s worth the drive.
Im from out of town,staying in the area for the month,called up yesterday about getting tires rotated, the nice lady said to come in at 3pm, i did and was very pleasantly surprised when i asked if i could wait for the vehicle, she said yes,took my keys and i was done in 30 minutes,spoke to the owner gary and his wife,both very nice accomodating people, i plan to return next year to stay for march and will use them again definitely for any repairs,i have multiple vehicles and am used to indifferent,sloppy service from smaller shops back home in canada,these folks are a breath of fresh air, i can see why their shop is busy, this is a no-fuss,no-BS shop run by straight-up folks, thankyou for your prompt and courteous service.
I had a very unfortunate experience this morning. I was driving home from work at 7 am after working 12 hours, and 15 minutes into my drive my vehicle started shaking to the point where I thought I may have had a flat tire or an issue with an axle. When I didnt see anything wrong with my tires, I called to have it towed because I didnt want to risk causing more damage. Luckily I broke down near Porters Neck Tire and Auto. I had it towed to them because I had a similar experience with my husbands engine in his car practically exploding several months ago while he was deployed, and they not only did their best to attempt to have Honda cover the expense under warranty, but they also didnt have his car towed off the lot when I was unable to pick it up. In fact, it sat there for months before my husband got back and was able to pick it up. At any rate, today they were able to figure out that it was a simple fix with lug nuts being pretty loose. They refused to charge me anything to diagnose the vehicle or any labor, like some shops would have. When they couldve easily taken advantage of me because I literally had no idea what the problem was and didnt bother to self-diagnose the issue because I just wanted to go home and sleep, they were completely honest and extremely trustworthy. I highly recommend them, and have absolutely nothing bad to say about them.
Great company. Will continue to use this service versus the horrible blacks tire and auto in town, Id never recommend that place even if porters neck was out of business(considering the good work, they probably never will be).
Porters Neck Tire & Auto is the only auto service provider that I will use for my VW and Jeep. The quality of service is always excellent; the honest, informal and personal explanations of what is or is not needed for service is nothing like I have ever experienced in 50 years of driving cars and trucks; and the cost of service is always less than the franchise dealers would charge.
Great customer service. Quick, efficient service! I highly recommend Porters Neck Tire and Auto.
Great place for tire repairs. Good quality.
Had a nail in my tire and they removed it within minutes of me being there. Very honest shop and would choose this place over any shop in Wilmington.
Needed a quick tire repair while on vacation, and they handled it quickly and nicely. Highly recommend.
My entire family goes here fare and honest and quick Gary is a great guy.
Gary is a really good guy that wants your business and is very fair. I use him whenever needed.
Great shop- Highly recommend! I have always had fast, friendly service!
I went in with a nail in my tire and was treated with fantastic customer service and wasnt charged for the patch! First time customer, now a life time customer!
A crowded but serviceable (three vehicle) repair shop in the porters neck community..
Quality work friendly staff
Very friendly. Honest automotive work.
On time..... friendly service
Putting tire in tire and auto is a stretch, pulled in here as my tire was about to blow, and they didnt have any tires in house for anything.
Great staff and speedy service!
Best service anywhere. I wont go anywhere else.
BEST OF THE BEST GARY IS THE MAN
