Exceptional Brake and Light Inspection Service for Cars and TrucksI recently had the pleasure of visiting Wilkes Automotive for a brake and light inspection for my car, and I must say that the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked through their doors, I was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff who made me feel welcome and assured me that my vehicle was in good hands.The professionalism and expertise demonstrated by the team at Wilkes Automotive were truly commendable. They took the time to explain the entire inspection process to me, ensuring that I understood the importance of this safety check and how it could impact the overall performance of my vehicle. Their attention to detail was evident throughout the inspection, and they left no stone unturned in their quest for accuracy and thoroughness.The mechanics at Wilkes Automotive were highly skilled and experienced. They meticulously examined my car's brake system and lighting components, identifying any potential issues and providing me with a comprehensive report of their findings. They were more than happy to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had, making me feel confident that my vehicle was in optimal condition.One aspect that truly impressed me was the efficiency of their service. Despite being a busy automotive center, they managed to complete the brake and light inspection in a timely manner without compromising on quality. This demonstrated their commitment to customer satisfaction and their ability to deliver outstanding service even during peak hours.Furthermore, the pricing for the brake and light inspection at Wilkes Automotive was reasonable and transparent. They provided a detailed breakdown of the costs involved, ensuring that there were no surprises when it came time to pay. I appreciated their honesty and integrity in this regard, as it further solidified my trust in their services.Overall, I cannot recommend Wilkes Automotive enough for brake and light inspections for cars and trucks. Their friendly staff, expert mechanics, attention to detail, efficiency, and fair pricing all contribute to a truly exceptional customer experience.

I never write reviews but this place was so wonderful I had to! Everyone was so nice and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend coming here. I ve never had an enjoyable experience with any mechanic or shop and this place was amazing. Affordable, detail oriented, and friendly. They were about a 40 min drive from me and it was well worth it. Thank you!

John is so nice and very funny I learned a couple things about my car I didn't even know I went for a lamp and brake inspection for a salvaged title. Ron is very nice and helpful. Lisa the best I received a beautiful hug as I was crying from my Accident PTSD!! I was very touched by such warmth and kindness sometimes it pays to go the distance to get the best job. And treated with such awesomeness clean shop so cool with the Nascar whoop whoop

I needed a lamp and brake inspection done same day after putting it off for months and trying to get it handled same day at the DMV.Getting any of the certified places to actually pick up the phone and answer questions and quote me a price was impossible.I found Wilkes on google and called and spoke to John (the owner). He s a breath of fresh air. Kind and cordial and very funny. He fit me right in to his schedule.I was in and out in under 30 min. No waiting. Very pleased.While I hope to never need this service again, I hope this review assures anyone who does to come here.He s VERY reasonably priced for this service

Probably the most welcoming and sweetest and polite people I ve met doing my berate and light inspection. Also they do it all in a really good price compared to most places. I will tell my friends and family about this place. I was having a rough two weeks and they really made my day. If you re reading this, I promise you that you won t find a better place than this one. It s kinda hidden so just be on the lookout.

I just went to Wilkes to do a safety and light inspection. It was a long drive, it took me more than an hour to get there and almost two hours to come back, but it was all worth it.Very nice and professional staff.John is very knowledgeable. No B.S. straight to the point. Very good customer service and best price in town. I had a very good experience. I highly recommend this place.

I recently called to schedule a brake inspection but didn't end up making it to the appointment and had to cancel because my car broke down at my mechanic's shop. John was very understanding and flexible with my situation. He is the nicest guy I've met in this line of work. I highly recommend him!

Saved me in the clutch: when registering my vehicle (out of state), I needed a brake and light inspection. They told me to come right in - great price, friendly, and extremely fast. Not the 1 hour plus I was told by another shop. Worth the travel & thank you again

The best service ever! I took my vehicle for a brake and light inspection a few minutes before closing time, and they still assisted me even though they were about to close. After they conducted the inspection, we come to find out some of my lights were not working. My car needed some lights fixed, one of the headlamps required was out of stock, and the owner sent someone to buy it to replace and repair my vehicle. These gentlemen are very nice and went out of their way to help me. They are very good at what they do, and the prices are very affordable. If I could give them ten stars, I would as the service and experience were excellent.

I brought my 2020 Kona today Aug 2nd to check the brakes. These guys inspected the vehicle and told me I didn't need anything. They showed me and explained that everything was fine. I asked to pay for the service and there was no charge. Very honest guys.Off course they will have me as a customer for the future and I already recomended this place to my son and daughter.Look no further, come here. Excellent customer service.

What a amazing experience from beginning to end. I was calling around for a great rate on a light and brake inspection. I was quoted pretty farout prices from $105 to $185. I called this shop and John said I can do it for $80 which seemed more reasonable plus he had great reviews. I took a chance I'm glad I did. Honest, Fair and respectable. I would refer to anyone!!

John and Ron both get 5 stars from me. I ve been around cars all my life and know how to work on them only because an honest mechanic is hard to find. I came here for a brake and light inspection (ca requirement). First off, they have the lowest prices in town. Only was charged 79.00 and John even said if you find a better price we will beat it. I didn t bother shoppong as I knew most shops charge 100-150 for the inspection. They are so nice and even adjusted one headlight for free. It s something I could have done but most shops would have failed you and told you to have it fixed and brought back. Not John, honest and went the extra mile! Don t hesitate to come here.John is a local legend! If your a NASCAR fan he Lives it, raced it and can tell you all about it. He has his record setting car in the shop too.
