I called for a tow truck at 6:30 am called back 11:00 still no tow truck. I was so upset I made a formal complaint against this company. Do not use this company theit negligence cost me an additional day off work Beware. If I could give them no stars I would.

I had my car a 2 dealerships and another local repair shop all 3 said it was the transmission. Wanted 4 grand+ to install a new one. I knew it was not the transmission, it was something electrical. Took it to Holly Ridge Auto and they figured out it was the alternator. Had it fixed in a few days and saved me thousands of dollars and time.

I needed a repair done at the last minute and completed the same day so I could be safe on a trip out of state with my two children. They were not only fast and accommodating, but very fairly priced and friendly. Would recommend to anyone who wants to support local small business instead of wasting money at larger chain operations. In the case that…

I called this place to inquire about fixing my car under an extended warranty. He picked my car up, said he would call the next day, and we didn't hear from him for 5 days. My husband then called this place and was told the car had been fixed, the repair wasn't under warranty, and the cost. He never called us to tell us the diagnosis and an estimat…

Tim was great. He was polite and honest. He was able to work me in quickly while we were on vacation and was able to have my truck back running properly in a couple hours. Highly recommended.

Who we are

About Holly Ridge Auto Services

Holly Ridge Auto Services is the kind of shop where the owner actually looks at your car and tells you the truth. One customer came to us after two dealerships and another local shop all quoted him $4,000+ for a new transmission — we found an electrical problem with the alternator, fixed it for a fraction of the cost, and had him back on the road in days. We work fast when it matters, too: another customer needed a same-day repair before a long out-of-state trip with her kids, and we got it done — fairly priced and friendly. If you're tired of being handed a huge estimate without a real explanation, come see what an honest local shop feels like.\n\nCall us at (910) 329-3211 or stop by on NC-50 — we'll take a look.
