I never share actual written reviews, but this place is deserving of one so here goes!!Google suggested this shop to send my quote to while I was looking for alternator repair. I got a message back (the only shop that actually answered my request) very quickly.Prices couldnt be beat, had my car towed after hours and had constant chat contact. I have a Pathfinder and the alternator replacement is labor extensive, when my estimate came back a little higher after inspection I was expecting to pay so much but they were still under the $1000+ from other places.Turn around was super fast. Went in Saturday afternoon to pay, shop was closed Sunday and picked up Monday afternoon.Stop looking around, just call/text and make them your go to repair shop!

Came here since it was close by for my car inspection. Easy in-and-out. Super friendly service. Definitely recommend!!

Quick NC State Inspection. Also, Johnny noticed the mystery clicking noise on the front end, and gave me heads up that my sway bar link was improperly installed from the recall service on my Toyota. Excellent service, polite, and very much appreciate your help and expertise! Johnny will definitely be seeing this Toyota again :)

I have been coming here for years for inspections and recently needed a mechanic. They are honest and trustworthy I always worry about being taken advantage of but never feel that way at this business. Thank you for your kindness.

Affordable rates and great service! Johnny was very knowledgeable in my cars needs. Will definitely use them in the future for any of my auto repair needs

Friendly, honest, and quality service. Conducted an inspection and immediately called to let me know when complete. Also warned me about a coolant leak, I got repaired elsewhere because the car was still under warranty. Good experience with this shop, I’d go back again.

Johnny at King Auto helped bring my car that was out of commission back to life. He figured out the problem and had the car back on the road in less than 24 hours. His communication and instructions were much appreciated and the pricing was fair. After looking for years for a trusty mechanic, I found one down the street! Will definitely be reaching out to Johnny for the next car problem!

Great place I recommend, reasonable prices! Man at counter is really nice and helpful.

Lots of reviewers say Johnny is honest and that is the honest to goodness truth.Fixed an AC compressor on an Audi Q3 and he offered to allow us to bring the part if we could find it cheaper. We did and he had no issues with that at all. Not many places do that today.

Great customer service and great work and low price Im his customer from now on

One of the best mechanics in Charlotte and priced reasonable!

My car did not start due to some engine issue and i took my car to this shop. At first he seemed very reasonably priced and a genuine shop owner. He change the battery and car restarted. I brought my car back home and it stopped again. Later it appeared that my car did not have a battery issue but an engine issue. I had to take my car to a proper Nissan mechanic and it got fixed. I think if you are looking for a regular stuff like Oil, Tire or some basic servicing/checkup; this shop is okay and gives you a good price with reasonable service but if your issue is a little bit more complicated; mechanic here may not be the best. I learnt hard way when i paid extra bucks here.EDIT -

Johnny is kind, helpful, and does honest work for an honest wage. Ive found my mechanic!

Guy who runs the shop wasnt interested in helping me (or even understanding what I wanted) because I had something other than a normal tire change service. There are 3 other tire shops within 4 blocks so no need to bother with this place.*reply to reply: I didnt want tires. Again not taking time to even understand what I asked for. Its fine, I paid the next place down $10 for 10-min job.

Not only do you get your car fixed by competent mechanics, you get helpful advice,and tips on how to save money. All with a smile!

Ive been going to Kings for many Years I can trust Him with My Vintage 04 Toyota Van. Today I went just for an Inspection In And Out On No TimeI usually Text Ahead .Johnny has always treated Me WithRespect And I think Always A Reasonable Price and Done Right !

I really can’t recommend these guys enough.I’ve got an old pickup that I’ve been bringing here for several years, I probably would have junked it by now if I hadn’t found King auto. Could it use 2-4 grand worth of work? Of course it’s 20 years old and has 300,000 miles.Does it make financial sense to do all that work, not really.Johnny is always open and honest with me about what my truck really needs, and gets me back on the road quickly and safely.His pricing is incredibly fair and everyone is always friendly and professional.

The owner is very flexible and understandable, he assessed my car for free and told me what’s wrong!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! They came highly recommended on the NextDoor App, and the reviews couldn’t have been more accurate. Friendly, Fast, and Inexpensive! They replaced my main belt on my 2011 328i in less than 2 hours, and the low cost was a great surprise too! I’ve already told my wife that we’ve found our new mechanic. We will recommend them to everyone looking for a great shop in the Charlotte market.

Ive come to King Auto with several different vehicles over the last month or two, and have been thoroughly impressed. I have a fleet of vehicles, so have plenty of experience with mechanics, and King Auto is an excellent choice. Fair pricing, transparency, vehicles done on time. 5 stars is not enough. Keep up the great work guys!

Awesome! Very friendly and professional! I will definitely be back when ever I need auto repairs!

Amazing service and great pricing!I have been coming to John for a few years now and he takes care of all my car needs from yearly inspections, spark plugs, shocks, oil changes, etc..He always does an excellent job and ensures me of anything that needs to be done to travel safely on the road. Highly recommend King Auto Repair!

The owner is amazing I often drop in last minute for my inspection and He takes me right away. He’s phenomenal when it comes to customer service. I’m always in and out. Prices are reasonable. I’ve been coming here 6 years and counting. Melissa 😊

Ive been coming to Johnny for 15 years and for a reason. Hes respectable, trustworthy and honest. You really dont find that in too many people, let alone a mechanic. If its something he cant fix, hell advise you on where to go. Great guy with a great team.

Really good service even though all I needed was a pro to check and make sure my car was in good shape. Will be back in the future for sure.

Fast and great work

They fixed my car in less than 2 hours. Excellent customer service and amazing prices. I would highly recommend this auto shop !!!

Had my first experience with King Auto Repair this past Friday and it was great. Johnny was welcoming, gave great advice for continued car maintenance for my rotors and tires, and his team did a nice job replacing my brakes. Highly recommend!

Service is efficient and fast. Everyone working there is very knowledgeable. Prices are ALWAYS reasonable and great quality work.

I took in my wifes Mini Cooper for an oil change a couple other places and they couldnt get the oil filter. Take it to the dealer? they suggested. I was like Nah, Id rather not. I called Johnny at King Auto and he said to bring it in (on a Thursday afternoon). They took a look and said it wouldnt come off without breaking. Bring it back Monday. We can try again because the only way to do this is to be ready to replace the part if it breaks and I cant do that on a Friday So I brought it back and they were able to fix it without breaking it! They charged me about their normal rate for an oil change (bring your own oil/filter for that service, because their shop is pretty small).I went back with my older Toyota Camry for suspension issues. Id had new struts installed elsewhere and my previous guy said I needed new rack & pinion bushings for about $150. Johnny looked at it and thought the previous mechanic might have misdiagnosed or even intentionally loosened everything! So for a couple months I was driving with an unsafe steering situation, when all I needed was to bring it to King Auto. Theyre very honest and have been great with my familys two cars. If youre waiting to get into another mechanic, give Johnny at King Auto a call and see if he can help you.

Johnny has worked on my vehicle twice and has not disappointed. Fast and friendly. Get there early he gets busy fast.

My car was badly in need of a wheel bearing repair. The tapping noise had become unbearable. King’s Auto repair came highly recommended on google so I thought I would give it a try. I called the repair shop the gentleman told me that he could have my car repaired within 3 hours. He also was able to quote me a price right over the phone. When I arrived at the repair shop he asked if he could test drive my vehicle to check the problem out. I said sure. About 5 minutes later he came back and confirmed that my front right passenger wheel bearing was bad and needed to be replaced. He said the price would be the same as what he quoted me over the phone. Just as he stated my car was repaired within 3 hours and it’s been running smoothly ever since. If you’re looking for and honest, prompt and fairly priced experience I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. Thank you for your help and I will be back.

Been dealing with Johnny for a little over 2 years. i Just recently got my car fixed. Great guy. very Honest .

King Auto Repair has been my 1st choice for nearly 10 years and the only repair shop that I trust to service my vehicle. The work done by the wonderful mechanics is always professional and correct. And I must also add that the pricing of work estimates are 100% fair compared to other competition. As long as I reside in Charlotte or surrounding areas, my commitment to this shop and the friendly staff will never cease.

This is the only place I trust with my car. The owner knows what he is talking about and has great prices. If my car is ok and there isnt an issue he tells me and doesnt try to upsell me for parts or labor that are unnecessary. A good honest mechanic can be hard to find but it makes me feel good to know I have found one in king auto repair.

This is the best repair shop I have ever dealt with. I have an older 4Runner so I’m always getting outrageous pricing for any fix. The owner here was honest and upfront with what needed to be done in order get the best price on repairs for my vehicle.

Good honest guy....

Recommended by a friend and had my expectations exceeded. Modest building, minimalistic lobby area, no frills, great prices. Had my clutch and O2 censor replaced, Johnny was honest with what actually needed to be done (no flywheel replacement was necessary). Saved hundreds of dollars. Thanks!

Always great. They do an excellent job and the price is really really reasonable.

I do not recommend this place, owner doesn’t know how to talk to people and is unprofessional. Do not waste money coming here.

I went to get cv axle joint repaired and he discovered I had no oil. its been a rough year for. They repaired my car fast and I had a far back window panel out he had a guy coming to replace a windshield and gave me the guy phone number the guy gave me a price needed to get this fix. Got a great price on my car too. Recommend these guys to anyone, Honest people. Will be gong back.

King auto repair is the best in Charlotte. He will look at your car and in 5 minutes you will know everything that is an issue. He will also charge half the normal price for labor and let you bring in your parts, if you cant find it he will order it for you. 5 stars on everything, especially customer service.

Had a rattling noise coming from underneath my car every time I accelerated at low speeds. After checking it out, they told my U-joints needed replacing. I left my car with them at 9 am and by noon they called me telling me it was ready to be picked up. Very prompt service and reasonable prices. I definitely recommend them.

Cheap great service

Highly recommend. Johnny and staff were very honest, reliable, and fair. I was very impressed with their work. I will be returning for sure.

Owner is very smart and reasonable with his prices

Great service! Went to get my transmission replaced and he did an excellent job! My car runs smooth and I couldnt be happier! This is my regular mechanic and he never lets me down!

Awesome place to repair my car.may god bless them.they are very friendly and helpful.

Never been disrespected at a place of business like that ever! The guy In charge is Ultra rude! The worst experience I have ever had at a auto repair shop. I will tell everybody not to go there because I dont want anybody to be disrespected like that!Wish I could give 0 stars or -3 stars

As far as car repairs go, about as good of an experience as could be. Reasonably priced with an honest and communicative owner.

Called at 8:30am asking about a full brake job, pads and rotors all 4 wheels, he said bring it on in and Ill have it ready by lunch time. Sure enough, got the call at 11:30am saying it was ready. Great same day service at reasonable prices, more than $200 less than Mieneke quote even with a $75 Mieneke teacher discount. Found my new auto shop.

Great price for brakes and rotors. I highly recommend...

The first encounter I had with this repair shop was a good experience, which led me to come back again when my truck wouldnt start. I came to have it looked at and the car was diagnosed with the issue from this shop. I bought the part that I was told was needed for my truck and it was supposedly fixed and I drove off with no problems after paying $258 for the part and labor. Three days later, my truck did the very same thing - it wouldnt start. So I called the shop and the owner, Johnny sent a mechanic to my house. The mechanic couldnt do anything because he needed to hook it up to a machine (which I assumed was done initially). So the owner had my truck towed to his shop for a diagnostic test to tell me again, what the problem was. He diagnosed it this time as having a bad ECU (this is the computer or brain of the engine) and could really only be fixed by the dealership - a very expensive part ($800) although I had a relative working for the dealership it would have cost me ($643). The car wasnt able to start but somehow the mechanic was able to finagle the engine to get it to start (keep this in mind). So I was able to drive my truck to the dealership to have it looked at. The dealership did a true diagnostic test on my vehicle and told me it was a weak ASD relay that was causing the vehicle not to start and that the computer (ECU) was in great condition it just needed an update, total cost $215 but for me ($145), big difference in prices! Thinking back over this situation, it led me to come to this conclusion: I believe that this shop probably knew that they were unable to fix my vehicle so they gave me a false issue which still required me to pay. The same way the mechanic was able to finagle my engine to get it to start, was the same way they did it to make me believe it was fixed, only for the problem to still exist. I believe its very important to have your vehicle properly diagnosed. Although repair shops are convenient and less expensive than the dealerships, not all of them will have the required equipment or the equipment at all to properly diagnose complicated issues with your vehicle. I have nothing against the owner, he was really nice but I needed to share this particular experience.

Great customer service every time I come

Got a recommendation from the Neighborhood app and gave them a try. Johnny was very nice and gave me great recommendations that were very helpful. I ended up with a totally different issue s few days later and he was even more helpful. Wanted me to test drive my car to make sure it was working to my satisfaction before accepting payament and charged me 1/2 hus normal rate. Outstanding customer service and highly recommend these guys for all your auto repair needs.

Great work good service

Great personal attention to me and my car.

Terrible service drio ny truck off at 8 am to just looked at to see whats wrong told itll be dine by 11 it is now 5:20 they lied and said they inspected and repeated to me what i already know i called and said im pulling up and i arrived 5 min later for them to lie and said they just checked it. Waist of time. They never called or updated me and im just sitting waiting. And they hubg up on me when i called initially worst service in town wont go back tbey failed beforw they started

I was recommended to this shop by my insurance company so we set up for my car to get towed here . guy comes out screaming no you cant drop that here !! guy refused to take my car because my wife was going to drop the keys off after she got off work . never have i been refused service from anyone so rude !! luckily the driver recommended another shop for me and towed my vehicle over there . youre the only shop in charlotte with that policy . all these excuses

Very trustworthy and replaced both of my front cv axles for a great price and in less than 2 hours. My car feels brand new again ! Thank you so much.

Very please with customer service--went in for a front brake replacement, did a good job and owner was courteous enough to offer assistant by taking down my number to get drivers door fixed and passenger seat replaced. Good dudes

He always gives great service. Reasonably priced. Helped me find another van.

Extremely disrespectful, I left with more issues that I came in with and my injection wiring harness looks like someone took nail clippers to it. This place is a not worth supporting. I cant stress that enough.He is stressing that my truck has high miles (230K actually). In other words they are incapable of working on high mileage vehicles? I was hurried out of the shop because they couldnt fix the issue. The truck is now running fine thanks to alt local shop. MAP sensor... FYI

Im glad I live close to this business. Whenever I get an indication that the air pressure in my tires has changed these guys check it and add air free of charge. I will always use their services.

This is the best shop in Charlotte. A1 service with precise diagnostic evaluations. The people are straight up and extremely honest. I suggest this shop with total confidence.

Brought my truck to get fixed, they got it running and tried to hurry me out before I test drove it. It sputtered and stalled. They didnt fix the issue, and on top of that now I have an airbag light on. PLACES LIKE THIS GIVE MECHANICS A BAD WRAP. The dude behind the counter was beyond rude and laughed at me when i expressed my concerns. What a joke. Is there a way to give no stars. Do not support this business. Plenty more local shops to support.

Best mechanic in Charlotte, also affordable. They have high volume so listen to what they say and dont be an idiot, they take care of possibly 50+ of cars a day.

DO NOT COME HERE. THE GUY I GUESS OWNER IS RUDE AND TOLD ME HE COULDNT LOOK AT MY BREAK SENSOR BY MY TIRE CAUSE THEY CLOSED. ITS NOT 5:30 I GOT HERE 5:15. I SWEAR. JUST egregious go somewhere else I swear go somewhere else

My AC evaporator was leaking. Not only did he replace my dashboard with care. He fixed my radio too!! Awesome work!!

One the most honest and fair mechanic shops I ever visited !!!

If you are going anywhere else for work on your car, you are doing it wrong. Johnny is simply the best guy around.

Great service, fair prices

Yay! Love this place!

Who doesnt trust JohnnyNice honest guy..Hell be in business for a long time due to his integrity

The most affordable prices in Charlotte and always a quick and honest diagnosis.

The best mechanic! Honest and always happy to help!

Worst nightmare I ask for them to put a part on my car had it towed there car was not fixed the owner was rude I spent 200 dollars in Uber rides getting parts after he had assured me a time to pick it up I had to have my car towed next door to the shop beside it were the guys really did a awsome job the owner at this place is rude sorry but not as awsome as everyone else experience this guy is a scam artist
