Nikki is the BEST! Never had a more quality and fair mechanic before. You won’t regret taking your car to her.

Fast, fair service. I feel like I can always trust their assessments and that they aren’t out to do unnecessary work for more money.

My experience was smooth and friendly. There was no effort to upsell me and I was kept informed. Great to know there are professionals on whom I can rely when I need service on my car. Thanks for making it easy!

Ive known Wayne Massengill and his staff for over 25 years, and they have consistently remained the most trustworthy, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced mechanics Ive ever dealt with. They also are fun to chat with and have a sense of humor...crazy, right? Took my new car to a dealer for a while and regretted it. Guess where Im taking it now? 😁

Ive had my car serviced at this location for engine check and strut replacements. Ive been to other locations and have found cost is very fair. The quality of service has always been excellent for each of my visits and I would recommend.

Very friendly, professional service. We feel so thankful we found these guys! We love the report they send with pictures - we feel like we know our cars better than ever and they have they best care possible.

Nikki is hands down the best mechanic I’ve ever had.. and I’ve had a full history of bad luck with vehicles. I followed her to Massengill’s from her previous shop. Jimmy is the kindest, most genuine service writer- he’ll tell you what he honestly suggests and what your car honestly needs. And Wayne is the most upright business owner I know who cares about quality. I tell all my friends to go here, especially if they’re a girl, because you just won’t be lied to and your car will be made safe.

This is the only place I trust with my 05 truck. I drove over 90 minutes to have Nikki put on front brakes. Rotors were turned and new brakes on in record time. Jimmy is the perfect service manager and makes you feel like a friend hes known for 20 years. Thanks Massengills

Man, these guys are awesome! They were so helpful and honest! They sent me an email with pictures of everything that i needed fixed on my truck and even pictures of all the test strips showing what fluids needed to be changed— so detailed and professional! I highly recommend these guys if you want great quality service!

Review №14

I went here to get my car inspected a few weeks ago. Everyone was so kind! They had great communication and sent me emails/text updates while I was waiting. At the end (after my car passed inspection) they made me aware of a few things that they could fix on my car, but they weren’t forceful or anything like most car places are. So I really appreciated that. I will be returning. Thanks everyone!

I have used Massengills for several years now. They have repaied just about all systems on my 1997 Jeep Cherokee.They are terrific small business. Their work is excellent. I highly recommend them.

Grateful to have found mechanics I can trust. They take the time to explain whats going on, and are up front when they think another shop can complete a task for less. Work is completed promptly and the price always feels fair.

Review №20

Massengill’s does a great job. I love that you can make an appointment online and they have tons of availability. They’re clear about what needs to be done and how much it will cost. I also love the emails that include all of the information. I don’t know hardly anything about cars but I never have had any trouble with their work. Nikki did an awesome job last time getting quite a few things done for me. Thanks!

Wayne, I think that the last work you did for me on my van has made it the vehicle of my dreams. No more warning lights and the engine is running smoother than I can ever remember it running. A great job of diagnosis and workmanship. Very pleased.

Review №25

Massengills is great! I found out last minute before a long car ride (12 hours) that my AC was broken. Nikki was able to fit me in and fix it. The part needed for my car was out of stock in a lot of shops and the owner went out of his way to get the parts that my car needed at low cost. Thank you! My 12 hour ride was nice and cool.

Review №27

Wow, what a great place to get my car worked on. Nikki is a super efficient mechanic and was very empathetic to the issues I was having. She really took the time to explain to me what was going on with my car and what needed to be done right at that time, versus what I could wait on in order to save up some money. It is also very refreshing to have a female mechanic work on my car! No pressure from Jimmy, the service writer, up front, to spend unnecessary money, either. And Wayne, the owner, always has a smile on his face and is hilarious. What a hardworking team, dedicated to their customers cars and well-being. You can tell that they actually care about their customers, and want them to come back...they are not just at work for a paycheck. Thanks, team...Ill definitely be back with my Subaru :)

I was just in their shop this week for a warranty repair on my power steering pump and some preventive maintenance - trans flush, a belt, etc. on my 2007 Honda. First time customer and I can tell you the experience was great - its def what everyone else is saying. Honest, quick, and affordable. Really good guys. They were able to diagnose the car quickly and the following day I was good to go. Dont hesitate to use them for your repairs.

Review №30

Ive used this shop several times and have always been satisfied with their service until my last visit. I brought my vehicle in for inspection and was told I needed a tail light and a break light among other things. I took care of the items needed to pass inspection myself since they were simple repairs. However when I went to change the bad break light I noticed all the break lights were functioning properly. The tail light was bad but not the break light. I assume the tech wrote up the break light too in order to get a little more labor $. I brought my vehicle back and it passed inspection. I was very rushed for time so I didnt say anything to the owner or give him a chance to right the wrong. I dont believe everyone there to be dishonest by any means but someone that day was. In hindsight I wish I wouldve told the owner so he would be be aware. I would probably give them another chance.

I called to make an appointment for a state inspection and was surprised when they offered me a time the very next day! Extremely prompt and friendly service. When you go in, the waiting area has a nice community feel - you can tell this shop has regulars, and people know and trust the staff, from the mechanics to the front desk to the owners. I requested Nikki because she has worked on my Honda Civic 2007 several times in the past and always does an absolutely phenomenal job, going above and beyond to make sure I’m taken care of. I had such a pleasant experience every step of the way with Massengill’s, and I can feel good knowing my money is going to a local business. You all have one more loyal customer! Thank you Nikki!

Review №34

Massengill’s is awesome. They’re straightforward and don’t condescend or try to sell you on things you don’t need, and Nikki the master tech is really great at problem-solving. My AC compressor was starting to smoke, and she figured out a way to bypass it with a smaller belt, which saved about $1500.

Review №35

Its hard to overstate how incredible a mechanic Nikki is. Ive been taking my Honda Civic to her for 3 years now and she never fails to go above and beyond. One thing that really impresses me, other than her efficiency (read: respect for your time), is that unlike at so many places, she doesnt talk jargon down to me - she actually explains WHY I might need certain repairs. And she doesnt hesitate to let you know which repairs are actually important versus which ones other places might just try to upsell you. Its also the little touches - Im pretty sure last time I had my car serviced, she even changed the clock to the correct time, because I was too lazy to after daylight savings 😂 I have finally found a mechanic I can trust, 100%, and that is priceless! Thank you Massengills for running such an honest, community-centered establishment, and thank you Nikki!!!

Review №36

Family-feel place that gave me thorough, honest and good quality work on my 1997 Toyota Camry. That car would probably not be here if it werent for the work that Nikki, one of their employees, has done on it! I requested Nikki to do a diagnostic and oil change because she has always done such a good job with my car and with educating me on my car and how to best care for it for a good deal. She, as well as the impression I get from this place, are not out to swindle or cheat. They would rather let you know how to do a simple fix than to hide information and make money out of you as previous auto mechanics at other places have. They have great customer service and explained to me everything on my bill. I no longer just go for the cheapest service when it comes to a vehicle I depend on. They are worth waiting for an appointment any day.

Review №37

The best service Ive ever experienced for my (15 yr old) Volkswagen. Massengills provides small family business feel with great technical knowledge and communication. I dropped my car at 8 am and had it back the same day after 3 pretty big repairs. I didnt have to wait for parts delivery and was treated so well. Love this place!

Wayne and team are awesome. They fix it right the first time. We’ve been using them since 2011 with three Hyundai’s and one Chevy. Keeps my 96 two door Tahoe running like a champ! Love you mean it.Just to update, the kids wanted to visit MeMa in Sanford today and ride in the “old blue truck.” Recently, Wayne and Jimmy facilitated major repair work and this was our first excursion after that. Let me say, it was sweet cruise. Solid at 80 and the ac blowing cold. Thanks again Wayne and Jimmy!

Went to get a diagnostics only to pay $130 for them to tell me not one problem I could get fix for my car to run basically took my money worst I’ve experienced gave me codes only which I got done for free at advanced auto took it to get codes read no codes I was given on paper even popped up 🤔 but a code that wasn’t even give from them did which ultimately was the prob why couldn’t they just say hey it’s x y z it’s not like a mechanic with so much experience as they explain on their website wouldn’t know simple issues with a car dealing with them all day I just felt I got robbed‼️‼️‼️‼️ I’m understanding the other bad reviews now yeah 130 for a piece of paper 😅

Wayne has worked on our cars for almost 30 years. What better recommendation do you need? Hes honest, doesnt do more work than necessary and has actually talked us out of doing repairs in the past due to the age of the car. His staff is efficient and pleasant, its the kind of place my wife knows shell always be treated fairly when she takes her vehicle in.

Review №46

Family-friend company that offers excellent service in a supportive and laid-back atmosphere. I took my 2009 Honda Fit in for an oil change and requested Nikki, one of the employees, because of the great work she has consistently done of my car(s). She consistently, patiently explains how my car works to me in a way that I actually retain that information. Shes taught me how to car for my car well and is invested in making sure I make the best decision for my car and my budget (neither she nor Massengills would try to over-charge for a service--theyre good, honest folks). I highly recommend taking your car to Massengills!

Review №47

Ive only been to Massengills twice, but I know that Ive found my long term mechanic. Nikki is thorough, honest, and, rather than just telling me whats wrong with my car, she shows me. It is easy to trust her and her work. I can tell that she cares about me and my car and wants me to get the best deal. I highly recommend Massengills, especially Nikki!

Review №48

They do a great job here. I came here on the recommendation of my uncle, who has used Wayne over 20 years. They have helped keep my 14 year old car running in good shape the past three years. Also, they are great about letting you know when a repair needs to be done and what it will cost if it is not urgent, so you can plan for the expense.

I have taken my cars to Massengills for over 12 years and will now find transportation to get to the other side of town to let them service my vehicles. They are thorough, friendly, reasonably priced, and (most importantly) trustworthy and honest. I have never felt upsold nor deceived in the slightest. Their mechanics are the best I have encountered and I tell friends to go there when possible. I will continue to honor their good service with my patronage.

Ive taken a couple of my vehicles to Massengills Auto Services and am very pleased. Certainly less expensive than the auto dealerships, and they do what they promise, when they promise, and at the price quoted. They have been very helpful to me on several occasions, going above and beyond the norm. I intend to continue using Massengills Auto Service in the future when I need auto repair.

Review №52

Massengills has been servicing our cars for over 10 years. They are wonderful - they fix our cars in a timely manner and always at a reasonable price, without any pressure. For example, one time when I asked if they would recommend replacing my tires, they advised me that I still have mileage remaining. They are honest, reliable, and, friendly - definitely the best mechanics Ive ever worked with.

Once again Massengills Auto Service has proven to me that the service they provide is top notch. Not only did I have my truck towed into their shop with no announcement but I immediately received a diagnosis call and a recommendation as well. I am once again rewarded with excellent service and customer service. Thank you for all that you do to maintain my 2002 pickup truck.

Massengills is the place to go if you need anything done to your car. They are honest, reasonable, and prompt. They have an excellent reminder system so you dont miss your appointment. Aaron at the front desk knows what customer service means as do the technicians and most of all, Wayne himself. They are the best in Durham!

Review №60

Had a good experience with Massengills on a significant repair to my vehicle. Ryan explained the issue clearly in terms that I could understand and gave me options for the repair ranging from cheap and temporary to more costly yet permanent. Based on some research, the proposed costs looked reasonable as well and I didnt feel overcharged for what was already an expensive repair. Turnaround time was a little longer than originally anticipated because a part took longer to arrive than scheduled, but once the proper part was in the issue was resolved quickly. Im new to Durham and didnt have a go-to auto shop, but looks like Ive found one now.

I went to my trusted mechanic shop to have them look over my new to me 2006 Toyota Matrix. I asked specifically for an oil change and a state inspection. In general, I wanted them to look over the car to see if there were any other things I should know about. They did the things I asked. This time, I was relieved to find that nothing else of concern came up. Ill keep going back because they have always been fair and honest, and they have kept my cars running well for many years.

The best place to go for all your vehicle maintenance. I have been going here for over 20 years and I have received excellent service each time. I have brought all my vehicles and my sons vehicles here. All brands and types: Ford car & van, Honda cars, Dodge car, Kia SUV, Hyundai SUV, Jeep SUV, Buick car, Mecury van. The same outcome each time...excellent work and work you can depend on. If you are looking for somewhere that will treat you fair and honest and the workmanship is reliable and dependable, look no further...Massengills Auto Service.

Review №68

Brought my 2015 Grand Cherokee to this shop due to a grinding/rubbing noise coming from the front drivers side while accelerating on right turn. The tech took the car on a test drive and recommended a replacement of the front passenger wheel bearing as it was making the huming sound and could contribute to the other sound I was hearing. I now no longer have the rubbing noise issue after the replacement. The diagnostic and repair were done right & in a timely manner. I really respect that they dont try to sell you other unecessary maintenance if your car doesnt need it . The price was reasonable, and perhaps lower compared to other shops in the area for my particular repair. The front desk / service advisor, Jacob, was very friendly and honest. This will be my go to shop for future car repairs & maintenance !!!

Review №69

I am new to the area and needed a mechanic quickly due to a starting issue (electrical). Massengills explained a clear timeline for their expert to evaluate the source of the drain on the battery. At my request, they also performed a multi-point inspection, and the gentleman was even nice enough to call back and inform me that the date/mileage on my oil change sticker indicated that I needed one a while ago (totally slipped my mind). After extensive testing, they identified a minimal problem (most electrical issues are extremely expensive, so this was an opportunity for the dreaded mechanic dishonesty, but not here!), as well as some additional maintenance work, and completed it immediately and at a great price. Overall the service was honest, efficient, and the price was right!!! I also got a very nice welcome letter from the owner the next day, thanking me for my business, offering a coupon for future services, and even outlining a referral program. I will certainly be bringing my vehicle to Massengills for all of my automotive needs while I live in the Triangle area!

Very fine service. Even though I had a Groupon type coupon with approx. a 50% discount, I was treated in a first-class way.My appointment was kept in a timely manner and on the 2nd of three oil changes in the discount package, the problems they found and the estimates for repairs they gave were fair and reasonable. (I did not have the repairs done at Massengills b/c I have a Volvo and a trusted mechanic to whom I have gone for years of satisfactory service.)
