Two unexpected issues within the last few weeks. Carmine’s team led by Dillon are the very best. Great service in an expedient manner with my schedule in mind. I come from Greensboro to use Carmine’s service so I can have peace of mind - I receive excellent professional service at a reasonable price. I highly recommend.

Carmine’s Import is a top notch repair shop, without question. What really sets them apart, though, is the outstanding customer service provided by Stuart and Dillon.These guys are a pleasure to work with and go out of their way to make their customers happy. It’s obvious this company knows that its customers are its lifeblood.I would highly recommend Carmine’s to anyone. I couldn’t be happier! Thanks, guys!

This is the first review I’ve ever written and probably will be the only. This place deserves 10 stars and more. I got an oil change on my Porsche and my schedule is very busy. They accommodated me to the best of their ability. Got my car in and out. They even took me to work because I didn’t have a ride lol! Their customer service is spectacular! It takes a lot to impress me and they surely left the best impression. Dillon and his team are so awesome! No hidden added charges and no scamming you into getting other services you don’t need!! This is the kind of business everyone needs to come and support during these times!! I will be recommending ALL my friends and family here. No more going to the dealers where you get treated like trash and get charged an arm and a leg. I seriously wish all businesses had this kind of customer service like this place. 10/10, come here for all your car needs!!

My very reason for using the services of Carmines was locality. Frequently pass the shop and noticed the make of cars being serviced. Solely going off of my thought that Carmines would provide superior service was my reasoning for bringing my vehicle to the shop.Service was outstanding, and the level of communication between me and the team was precise & professional.Thanks guys for a great experience.

As always, the level of customer service is exceptional from Stuart and Dillon. Very responsive and frequent updates on progress, with clearly defined communication of condition of my car with recommended maintenance. I can choose what I think is necessary with detailed estimates. True it “ain’t cheap”, but it is worth the price in my book for the level of service that you get. You pay more at the dealership, and get far less attention and level of service. Carmines will continue to be my go to for service on my 911 Carrera S.

Highly recommend them for your auto repairs! They were courteous, professional and did excellent work on my VW Passat. They were also kind to provide me with a similar loaner car for the few days they were fixing my car. Excellent service and provided photos before working with suggestions… Just very pleased that my car is now running smooth as silk and Carmine’s was able to fix where the transmission meets the engine, gasket leak as well as a variety of other issues. SincerelyTom M.

They provided clear information on the recommendations for service and fully answered my questions. The final cost was less than I had authorized because they found one of the belts did not need replacement. I appreciate that honesty and ethic.

If you like paying double what a dealership costs then you should waste your money here. I had both my Teslas serviced with Carmines and the cost was double what the Tesla dealership charged for the same service. This last service with Carmines, I dropped off the vehicle at 7:30 am and didnt hear anything from them so I called at 6:30 pm and they hadnt finished it. The next day I didnt hear anything from them until I went into the shop at 3 pm to find out what was taking so long. They basically billed me and sent me on my way with no explanation or apology for the delay. The only services I needed were tire rotation, balance, and alignment which Ive had done within an hour at other shops.Correcting statement about sentry alarm event. It was a vehicle driving by that set the alarm off.Unfortunately, I cannot change the remainder of my review and I see there are over a dozen reviews with similar situations. Overpriced, delayed services, and not being informed of issues.Customer reviews are for other customers, not for the owner to reply berating them for a negative review. The negative language in replies to a customer review is an outstanding way to demonstrate failure to your claim of customer satisfaction. Nothing would have changed with the past experiences even if I did say something when paying therefore I put a review so others might be informed of possible issues. Your checkout person should have been able to see a coupon was sent (fairly sure sending customers slight discount to return is a standard practice). I even mentioned I had received a coupon (sorry I did not have it in hand) and other mail when asked for my address to be added to your system. Im more than happy to show you what I paid with tesla for previous services for comparison.What is really bad, two phone calls and I probably would not have wrote this review. This was not a fun review but others should know what they could encounter. I do not intend return. Thank you.

Ive been serviced by this company for almost a year. Theyre very understanding and easy to work with. They also break down exactly whats gone wrong with the car and what is to come so it doesnt come as a surprise. If you dont feel knowledgeable they make you feel knowledgeable when you leave. Highly Satisfied.

At first i was not sure about using these folks because it would be my first time ever....BUT IM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I am a verified BMW enthusiast to the point that i study them,read about them and lastly that is the only car that I have driven for the last 15 years, nothing else...Dustin and Stuart really impressed me with their professionalism and honesty, the shop was super clean these guys seemed to have it together. Due to some supply chain issues(covid) I was a little upset about the turnaround time for my vehicle, but that was beyond their control..When i got my car back the services I requested were performed perfectly and I was VERY pleased with the results!!! And this may seem simple but when i got in my vehicle and there was a bottle of water and a thank you note.I was sold...I will be returning these guys live up to they advertise. Thanks again to the Carmines team, beyond my expectations!! you wont be dissapointed...My car : 2005 BMW 645ci convertible..

After spending a grand for an oil & filter change and brake service in addition to giving them a referral I was begrudged for asking for a paper invoice (they insist on PDF receipts) yet they have no problem inundating me with paper junk mail promotions and bogus “checks”. After the hardcopy was denied the owner insults and says I can “crawl back” for my receipt. Needless to say I will NOT be going back to this place

Review №23

Carmines has more than proved itself to be the place where I want my auto service done from now on. When I was in transition (purchasing a home in Kernersville and preparing for a move) my Nissan Rogues scheduled maintenance was low on the list ToBeDones. I purchased the Rogue from Carmax in GBO in 2016 and have always been happy with Carmax, which is a big deal, because I have experience every level of competence and incompetence and even outright fraud over my 51+ years of owning automobiles. So, when I knew I would be too far from Carmax to have them service my Rogue, I asked Chad, my service manager, if my Carmax warranty could be used anywhere in Kernersville. Chad suggested Carmines. Well, I finally am settled in my new home, and last Friday I drove to Carmines. Even tho Carmines was initially established to service imports, my Rogue was immediately welcomed by Stuart to be serviced. I needed a lot of service done, including items that Carmines detailed inspection found, one of which ended up being under Carmax warranty, which saved me $300 on my repair bill. I picked up my Rogue yesterday afternoon and what I found when I entered the car justified my belief that Carmines is the best auto service I have ever experienced was what you see in the photos. NO other service has ever gone to this extra last step to make me welcome.

Review №25

My car was booked in for a service and for them to look at the heads up display that was working intermittently. When I called to check if the car was ready at the end of the day they said no, they had to keep it till the next day. They then returned it but had not looked at the heads up display. The car went back in about 2 days later. Again I had to call to find out what was happening. They called back to say they had started to uninstall the software and reinstall up to date software and it would take about 8 hours. I was never asked if I wanted it to be done but got charged almost $500. A few days later I had the same issue and they said well the software was the first thing to try, they would now need to replace the display and they would give me a price. They have still not contacted me. My main disappointment is that I was not advised of either them doing the software or that it may not solve the problem. Also, I had to keep calling them to find out what was happening.

I enjoy the upfront attitude concerning cost of repairs and what needs to be done to your vehicles. They are always patient and reliable when you need information about the repair. They always make sure I have a loaner vehicle to use while my vehicle is being worked on. They do great work and very respectful to you and your needs when it comes to your special car. I highly recommend!! Love these guys! Cathy

GREAT customer service! Just moved here from Raleigh and you will not find any import service even close to this level of care in the capital city. I was really shocked. The price he quoted me was spot on. Sent a report of suggested repairs to look out for in the future, but did not attempt to upsell. WASHED AND DELIVERED it to my house for no extra cost. unbelievable. highly recommend. top notch service. will definitely be returning. Stuart was the guy i dealt with. thanks guys!

Review №31

They were very professional and diagnosed the problem with the car and did a full inspection of any other items that need attention. I have a used car warranty and would have loved for them to correct everything that was wrong but due to constraints with the warranty, I had to have the dealership from which I bought the car from to do the work. They printed out the full diagnosis for me to take and provided me with a loaner car while they were performing the diagnostic. I highly recommend them as they have taken care of me from the very beginning.

By far, the absolute best mechanic/ car repair service I have ever experienced. Courteous, thoughtful, thorough and diligent. They offered free drop off and pick up from Greensboro! They left a mint and a bottle of water in the car after the repair! They waxed and put tire shine on the car and vacuumed it out.Blown away. No other import shop comes close.They fixed my Volvo sunroof leak with no problem and with speed!

Keeping a car running longer at peak levels requires both expertise and expense. Twice in the last year I have taken cars to Carmines after others had fallen short of the mark. Thats when the expertise comes in. Schedule your service on their website at a time convenient for you. Then Stuart and Dillon will take it from there.

Review №41

I definitely would not recommend this shop. I always made appointments in advance but when I bought the car in they informed me they were running behind and couldnt get to it until the next day, which would turn into two or three days.I had them replaced the steering column due to failure in the power tilt.Again it was not ready when promised. When I got the car home I realized there were still issues. I took it back twice an both times I was told they didnt have time to diagnose it.The third time they said they didnt have time to look at it and actually raised their voice at me.I end up taking it to Mercedes of Greensboro and they corrected the problem quickly and would not charge me. Said it was a simple fix.

Just used Carmine’s for the first time on my BMW x4. Incredibly pleased with everything about my experience. Great communication, customer service, and they took great care of my car. The wash and interior vacuum was also another awesome touch. I had a bottle of water, hand sanitizers, and a nice little mint inside when I sat down. It’s the little things!! I will be a forever customer at Carmine’s and I highly recommend them!!!

I am so pleased with Carmines. I was a referral and from the initial phone call to picking the car up the associates there were courteous, sympathetic, patient and knowledgeable. The thing that impressed me the most was that they didnt go worst case scenario first; they assured me they would make sure it wasnt something simple. I will definitely take my car back again.

First Class!! I visited Carmines to have the brakes replaced on my Range Rover. I received a very detailed estimate from Dillon up front, and was given a nice, clean loaner car to drive while the work was being done. Upon completion my vehicle was returned on time and clean. This was my first visit and will not be the last. I would highly recommend them for any import work.

Review №56

Hands down the best auto repair service Ive experienced. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very customer oriented. The office and waiting area are neat, clean and orderly. Each time weve visited weve had a personalized call informing us of our vehicles status, urgent matters and suggestions on a future maintenance schedule tailored to our needs and budget. Each time of pickup, my car has a mint, a bottle of water and a business card.I called with a fairly urgent matter today and was welcomed at 5:30 (closing time) with a friendly smile and personal greeting. While I was expressing my appreciation for their business, from behind the wall comes Carmine, the owner, to shake my hand and thank me for my patronage. To top that off, a loaner car is running and ready right outside the door for me to get on with my evening. These guys mean business and have earned my loyalty. I highly recommend Carmines Import Service. They are a step above the rest.

Review №73

I highly recommend Carmines for service needs. I was impressed by the communication (very personable at the counter and over the phone, used email and texting to clearly and efficiently convey estimated work and costs), the thorough professionalism (I took my car in to have a radio problem diagnosed but they discovered that the fuel pumps needed cleaning which, when serviced, made the car run SO much more smoothly!) and the customer service (the text message notifying me that my car was ready for pick-up also said to contact them if I would have trouble getting to the shop to pick up the vehicle--since I already had a ride lined up, I didnt find out what would happen if I needed help, but the offer itself was extremely considerate). From this one experience, my motto for Carmines would be They go the extra mile for you. Thank you Stuart, Dillon and team. I would give them TEN (10!) stars if I could!!!

I was in town for an event and ran into a belt problem.

Review №75

Thank you Carmine for standing behind your company and your teams work.Recently, I had posted a negative review due to an employees refusal to help with an issue we felt was accidentally caused by the techs after working on our Jag. We were not satisfied with how we were being treated so we addressed the issue with the owner - Carmine and he went above and beyond to not only rectify the issue but gave us a credit for our next oil change.I did want to make sure I left a positive reflection for Carmine and his team as they were more than helpful once he was made aware of the true scenario. As much as I wished the issue could have been rectified before having to post a negative review, the issue was resolved and now resulted in a positive experience. I am confident if we need Carmines services again, we would most certainly use his company and so should you.

Review №77

BEWARE: Took my car in to have both VVT oil switches replaced. Carmines Import Service took advantage of me by charging an excessive amount for Job Supplies. I understand the Job Supplies cost is customary but $42.17 is EXTREME for the services performed. What job supplies did they use when replacing the switches? Could Job Supplies have cost that much because I had a $55 coupon? Note: Asheboro Honda charges 4% of the service charge or $15 for job supplies.UPDATE: Carmines refunded me the entire cost of the Job Supplies .

Review №79

After talking with the Porsche dealership, and other independent service shops, I settled on Carmines, and I am glad I did. Dillon took care of all of my concerns, and reassured me that Carmines was thoroughly qualified to service my Porsche, and then some. All I can say is wow! The level of of service far exceeded my expectations, with multiple communications (text and email) updating me on the status of my car through the service call, with clear recommendations and cost. I don’t think I could have made a better choice than Carmines. I got a much better level of service than the dealership would have provided at 20% the cost. I also had free use of a loaner car for the 2 days the car was being serviced, which added to the convenience of the whole process. Thank you Carmines (Dillon & Connor), you have a new customer, and you’ll be taking care of my Porsche from now on.

Well they didnt fix my car, but I am not upset.I took a mini cooper in to get a new Key. This car has the electronic key fob which has to be programmed.I own a small garage that deals with only vintage cars, I am able to do most work but I do not have the capabilities to do modern car electronics that interface with the CAN-BUS system, so I went looking for a garage that could.Carmines thought they could. I brought the car in and there was a delay so they gave me a loaner car and told me they would exchange cars once it was done. I explained that I lived 40 miles away and they said that would be OK.After a day they called and explained that there computer system just was not communicating with the car and they could not program it and did not want to cause more issues. I actually appreciate the honesty.Why 4 stars instead of 3 or 5? Well they didnt fix the car and I originally had the car scheduled for Jan 6th and did not find out until lunch that the new key fob had not arrived, and the same thing happened on the 14th, but they did give me the loaner at this point. My suggestion to them is to always ensure you have the part in hand. That is my only gripe.On the plus side they were extremely courteous and worked to solve my transportation problems, and having run a shop I can tell they are a decent shop. If you have a modern car, particularly a German car I would not have a problem recommending them.Kevin

My first experience. I brought my 2019 Mini Cooper jcw in to get it checked out. It had only 5,000 miles and there was a problem with the aftermarket pig tail boost. They contacted the company and got it covered under warranty and got an new unit installed . They did not charge me. I was thrilled. Unfortunately the after market part did not work properly and I asked them to take it off and replace it with another part as well as getting a downpipe installed. The mini runs better now than before. Dillion and Stuart were professional and extremely knowledgeable. It is nice to meet people that not only know and love their job but take the time listen to their customers. I will definitely be back.

Stuart is the most patient person ever! Even though my Warranty company was taking forever, he was very patient with me and them. And I think the Loaner car (for free) is a great idea! It cost me a little more, but I really dont trust my car to anyone but Carmines.... and I think Stuart is a big part of that. And I love how he knows who I am when I or my husband calls. Great service and customer service... and my car was clean when I picked it up!

Im a big DIYer, but when i bring my car to a garage that means i couldnt fix it. I bought my car in for an abs control module reprogramming and Carmines had all the right answers. They ask me the right questions so they can give me the right price for my repair. Their customer service was very professional and welcoming without making you feel like they were trying to get over on you. They also gave me a list of all the things they inspected at no additional cost. Carmines Import Service will definitely be top choice for my cars when i run into problems i cant fix myself. Thank you very much Carmines for a job well done.

I am also a shop owner in the southwest and I have been to Carmines, and i will tell you he runs a great company with integrity. I know he has gone above beyond when doing the right thing with his customers. If you are looking for a trusted service provider - look no more!

I am a new client at Carmines Import Service and I cannot emphasize enough just how impressed I am with the professional staff! The customer service is stellar here. Absolutely incredible. I am not a number here; they honestly get to know you and want to create a true relationship. Bottom line....they CARE about their clients. They keep me abreast of the work completed and what needs to be done in the near future. They share with me written information regarding upcoming service necessary on my car to keep it running smoothly and to keep me safe on the road. They offer videos so that you may understand what they are talking about from a technical standpoint. Carmines Import Service will be taking care of my car(s) for many years to come!

I am from Columbia South Carolina. My car broke down in Kernersville Ana had it towed to Carmines. I received my estimate the next day. Had my car fixed. The best service I have ever received in my life when dealt with an auto repair shop. It actually cost me less than what was estimated. Yes I will use them in the future. They are the best!Eric Greene

I have been bringing my Mini Cooper and my Smart car to Carmines and have been very pleased with their service. They are very thorough and professional in diagnosing issues as well as keeping up with routine maintenance. They have loaner cars and other services to assist in dropping your car off with the least impact to your schedule. As long as this level of service continues then they have a customer in me for life... Thank you to the staff of Carmines..

I dropped my 2011 Mini Cooper off for an alignment and a check of the suspension, and was highly impressed by the level of service provided by Carmine’s from the moment I walked in. I was immediately greeted, drop off took less than 5 minutes, and they sent a text when my diagnostic was done. A link in the text provided a detailed description of each issue they found, and even included photos of the affected parts. I have never before encountered this level of service from any dealer or independent shop. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring any European vehicle here, regardless of the original sticker price. Thanks, Carmine’s!

This is my go-to shop for maintenance for our 2008 Range Rover Sport. The guys there are courteous and professional. Their work is quality and is done when promised. Shuttle service and/or a loaner vehicle is available, depending on the duration of your repairs. Communication is great and the prices are fair. Dont know what else you could ask for!

Excellent service. I was stranded by my Sprinter van halfway between Connecticut and Alabama. These people brought me in and found the problem. They took care of us very quickly. This kind of service is so different than what Im used to in New England. Truly appreciate the service manager Dustin Allred and the two service technologists who spent aday and a half to get me back on the road with my van running better than it has in a decade thanks again.
