AAA-Atlantic Ave has always given me excellent service and two days ago it even topped itself. Despite a very full schedule, Connie took a few minutes to check if the brake lights problem in my old Civic was merely an issue of burnt light bulbs. And it was! Connie cheerfully and calmly replaced them and we were quickly on our way instead of having to wait for an appointment the next day. And no one had to worry about getting pulled over for faulty equipment either.Thank you!People like Connie make AAA Car Service shops a great asset.
This place is AMAZING!!! My battery died and once it was jumped I knew that I needed to get the battery replaced before I turned off my car or it was not going to turn back on again. I showed up at this store 10 minutes before they closed hoping that they could do me a HUGE favor and squeeze me in before they closed. They were so nice to me and helped me immediately. The customer service was phenomenal and I will forever be thankful for their help!! Thank you Danny and Christopher, you not only saved my day but made the whole experience quite enjoyable. I highly recommend this location!!! THANK YOU!
Hundred percent work satisfactionEven though my wife and I don’t live anymore in Raleigh we still getting our cars maintenance done there. We commute 31 from our new home to get there because of amazing job they do. Most importantly, staffs are more friendly and honest.I love this place.Even though, sometimes they might be behind the schedule I trust them and know my work will be done efficiently.
Amazing service! Even though they were very busy Ms Connie took some time to take care of us. Definitely the best place to take care of my car.
The dispatching team for AAA remind me of a malfunction at answering machine as I asked for a tow truck to be sent to my location as I ended up Fulton atleast sitting for 3 hours because the first two efforts to dispatch a truck was sent to the wrong location and every time I call back to ask where the truck was at they tried to talk to me as if I was lying about being stranded with my vehicle. The Operators had nasty attitudes honestly I have had better service at McDonalds
Great customer service. Fast service.
My wife was going on a 6-8 hour round-trip, and I needed the AAA service center at 4618 Atlantic Ave. in Raleigh, NC to check our vehicle over, so I brought it there for their pre-trip check. As it turns out, all it needed was air in the tires and windshield wiper fluid. Because they were short-handed, I was told that it would probably be a two-hour wait, but it ended up only being a one-hour wait. When I was signing the paperwork for the work completed, I asked Danny, how much, and his reply was no charge. Cant beat that. Shout out to both Ed, who had set my appointment, and Danny, whos the one I usually ask for, because they were both friendly and professional and knowledgeable, which is always important to me and much appreciated.
I have always had a great experience at AAA/Connie. I always feel like she is upfront and honest. All of the services performed has been awesome. I have never felt like she has advice me to do anything that wasnt absolutely necessary. I trust her and will continue to use this location for my car needs.
First time going here for my oil change. The gentleman was very nice and informative. The place was very clean. I will be using them again for my auto services.
Very careing.Right very satisfied.
I have been going to this location for a few years now. The staff is always friendly and helpful, I have never had a bad experience here. I feel like the prices are very good in comparison to other places. I have never had a issue with the services they performed. I would highly recommend for routine maintenance.
Danny & Ed went above and beyond in servicing my vehicle and taking care of me. Very professional and they put their customers first. 10/10 would recommend!
Good services best make an appointment because they get busy quickly.
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Horrible horrible place to bring your vehicles. I work for a company with many vehicles in our fleet and we will no longer be bringing them here. I dont know if it is new management or what but this place has gone downhill. You used to be able to just drop off a vehicle for an oil change or brake job and you could have it back within a couple of hours...now you will wait ALL day long to get your vehicle back even when you make the earliest appointment they offer (and even drop it off the night before). Waited over 10 hours for them to do just the rear brakes and rotors on my work van! Extremely dissatisfied and will never return! Thanks for nothing AAA!
There great work .brand new battery for my Jeep.
They go above and beyond to make sure your car needs are met and dont try to rip you off. They also partner with Lyft to get you home and back if repairs take longer than expected or you want to wait at home. Make sure the make an appointment though because they fill up fast.
These folks stand by their work. Helped me get a tire repaired incredibly fast.
They never called to update us about how much longer it was going to take. They told us it would be ready on one day and 5 days later with multiple calls to them, they said they didn’t know how to put our car back together. I guess they should have taken pictures as they went along.
Fit me in and had me on my way very quickly. Thanks for the great service.
Provided tow service and Lyft to me in an emergency. Handled multiple problems with my car and got me back on the road. I was 100 miles from home. Very reassuring team.
These guys are polite, honest, transparent. I will definitely go back!
I came to AAA on Atlantic Springs and they were able to take care of my alignment. They were very professional, waiting area was clean and I was able to get some work done with the free WiFi. Connie provided my alignment sheet and thanked me for coming in. Thank you for your assistance on a busy Friday.
The actual service that I received was quite good and the facility was clean.
I paid over $1700.- for engine tune up and repair. Of course, they wanted all of their money before I even got a chance to test drive it. When I got it on the highway, it was misfiring & shaking / sputtering @ 50 mph.
Quickly performed work and gavee an estimate on work that should be done next visit
Excellent service. Caring personable, knowledgeable, & efficient personnel.
I got my Fuel system serviced the day after getting my oil changed, and back brakes adjusted. I just got m battery last year. My car wouldnt start before I left the facilities. The lady had to fidget with the: gear shift, lights, signals and turn it to try to get it to work. Once it did work she told me to keep an eye on the starter. Now my starter wont work which caused me to call out of work late. Once they open I know Im going to get the run around, and told that its not their fault, but it is since my car was working fine before I brought it to them the first time. I spent a little over $300 to get ripped off for a service I didnt need. Thanks for nothing.
Good service excellent value
I got a basic oil change. I got my brakes adjusted. The fuel injection they did caused oil to leak out, and short my starter. A different location wated to charge $450+... im a member and I already paid $300 for repairs. I understand whats gpin on during this pandemic, but I be damned if i have to keep paying high prices under a membership just so some crooks can get paid.
Car quit running and I had it towed to this shop because I have AAA membership. AAA left me stranded where it broke down because of Covid-19 restrictions about riding in tow truck. When I finally got home I called shop and told them the car would run, but did not respond to the accelerator, indicating a problem in the fuel delivery system. I also gave them a print-out where the folks at a drive in oil change facility that was beside where the car broke down plugged in to the on-board diagnostic system and showed exactly where the problem was. Those good folks did this at no charge and determined that they could not fix the car so I needed to have it taken elsewhere. Since I knew where the problem was, I asked for an estimated cost to fix it. AAA said they had a $99 diagnostic fee and then they would be able to see what the problem was and price the repairs. They also said they would call the next morning. I consented because what else could I do at this point? They did not call--I called them mid-afternoon and got a price of $700+ to replace the fuel body and do a fuel system service to get rid of all the dirty ethanol that caused the problem. I asked for and got a verbal breakdown of the cost for parts and labor to do the work. The fuel system service is an unnecessary service that I did not ask for and did not want. So, I talked to the technician and he finally agreed to clean a sticking butterfly valve in the fuel body, but could not guarantee that it would not fail again down the road. Im fine with that, so the cost was $50. I may replace the fuel body later to be sure that it does not fail again. I found the proper part for sale at a national chain auto parts store for less than half the cost I was quoted. Almost everything in the diagnostic service report did not and could not relate to the problem I asked them to fix, so it was unnecessary work and an unnecessary expense. Finally, they did not call when the car was ready--I had to call again to find out I could pick the car up and pay the bill.I will NOT be using AAA auto service again. Very disappointed since I have been an AAA member for almost 50 years.
Great overall service from the customer service aspect with Brandon, to the technicians work. I had a unique situation and they were able to take care of it. Would definitely use this location again for any car issues!
Dan and his team are the best! Trustworthy. Knowledgeable.Experienced. Friendly. Never go anywhere else.
I own my own transport company and wouldnt take my vehicles anywhere else. Danny always takes care of us and i never worry if the work is going to be done correctly or not.
Consistently receive excellent service from manager Connie, master tech David Hyde and assistant manager Danny Larkin. I purchased a set of Michelin tires and got the roadside assistance warranty for nail coverage which has been a great cost savings benefit.
I got my car towed here after the battery was dead and would not start. They changed the battery out, the terminal ends, and put a universal holder in it. As soon as I got my car back, there were lights that stayed on. I called and they told me not to worry about them and I should just ignore them. About two weeks later, my car wouldn’t start again. I had to get it towed and it’s because the new holder broke and there was still corrosion on the terminal ends. They decided to take two days to put a holder in, which left me without a car for those days. Also, I went to pick up my car, the lights were still on. They said they were going to reset it and I had to wait 40 mins. Now, my radio is not working in my vehicle.
They were very polite and friendly. I had an appointment and there was no wait and the service was quick
I go out of my way and drive from Zebulon to get my repairs done here because the whole crew is always professional, honest and their prices if you are an AAA member are competitive. I highly recommend them!
They done great!
Never in my life have I felt so taken advantage of or so cheated. From the very beginning the technician attempted to swindle me.It started with him telling me that he had run my VIN and my car was AWD and because of this it must have 4 new tires instead of the 1 I needed (I got a flat and had to be towed in) and said he even called Volvo to make sure. He also let me know that I needed my brake fluid flushed and new put in. Why he was checking my brake fluid when I was clearly there because of a flat tire, Ill never know. So in total he quoted me over $900 to which I said no way, remove the brake fluid service and find me cheaper tires. He graciously got me down to about $750...After this conversation, I told him I needed to think and call him back. Something didnt feel right about the whole AWD thing so I looked at my cars manual and sure enough it was only 2WD. Called him back to let him know this and he tells me how strange that is and that his system told him is was AWD. I again insisted it was not and thats when he looked again and discovered I was correct. He was then able to quote me for a single tire to which he kindly gave me a $10 coupon for. Best part is that they did not replace the valve stem as they should have and it was still clogged with fix-a-flat. So when I attempted to put air into that tire (they didnt fill it all the way) just an hour after leaving the shop, I couldnt get any in. Had to go to Advanced Auto and purchase a kit to do it myself just so I could get air in the tire.As a female, I try never to assume someone is blatantly taking advantage of me. I believe in the benefit of the doubt, however, this time I truly believe he thought he could pull one over on the ignorant girl. I will absolutely never return here and I will go out of my way to make sure I let everyone I know how absolutely awful this center is. And to the technician that I had the pleasure of dealing with? If you have a daughter and someday she runs into car trouble, I pray that she receives better, more trustworthy, and courteous service than I received from you.
Polite, professional, helpful. Did a great job, applied all applicable coupons, worked to get me finished in time to make next appointment. Theyve done almost all the work on my Prius since 2008.
Excellent customer service. Thank you.
I have been here many times for preventive maintenance care and always been treated with respect. The office is professional, honest (doesnt push items on me I dont need) and keeps me updated throughout the maintenance process. I highly recommend.
Good service. Friendly staff.
Brandon was extremely helpful and patient with me and went above and beyond to make sure I got the best service for my car. His wonderful attitude and demeanor were a bonus. Highly recommend!!
The staff was kind and helpful. I especially enjoyed the texts I received indicating the stage my car was in... (inspection, alignment check, oil change, ready!) It was nice to be kept in the loop and also easy to use my AAA membership for a discount. Also, I received a detailed report on my car that is better than I have ever seen before, anywhere! Definitely recommend this place!
My car was towed in the previous day. I called the next morning and they were responsive and were back in touch with me by mid-morning with an analysis of what I needed and an estimate. It was presented in a clear manner and there was no effort to have me do more than was needed. It was a good a car experience as I have ever had.
They did a great work servicing my vehicle
The employees are very considerate and dont mind answering questions ---all in all an enjoyable experience.
Great service both for the car and tge customer!
Great location. I love the kid zones. They kept me informed throughout the whole process. They were friendly and accommodating. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Good experience
The personnel, Danny and Connie, explain clearly what needs to be done and why. My wife and I have had positive experiences at this location. The costs of the repairs are more than reasonable. Highly recommend them.
I had a flat tire that needed plugged and it literally took 6 plus hours to get my car back. I’m on the road traveling all the time and I’ve never had to wait more then a few hours for a flat. I know business are short handed bc some people don’t want to work, so that’s why I gave them a 3! Maybe that was the problem!
Very courteous staff who throughly explained the problems with my brakes, even sending me pictures. I didnt have an appointment but because of the urgency, they worked me in. Ive used this branch many times, and always come out feeling satisfied that I got good service at a reasonable price. This is my go-to-place for oil changes, tires, etc.
This was one of the best experiences I have had in getting car services. I will definitely return for my future needs.
Brandon and Steve got my moms old Buick back on the road at minimal cost and with caring professionalism. An outstanding experience.
Technicians very courteous and professional
Dannys (and others) personal touch and expert, honest advice, flexibility, and readiness to help even at their busiest times, have kept my familys (7 total) vehicles safe and reliable for 15 years! We dont go anywhere else for Auto repair! 😎
I am fairly new to this place. Good, helpful service people with an excellent waiting area. I have been very pleased with their service. I went in because my power steering was behaving strangely. They discovered a serious problem that was missed by the dealership very recently.
Danny is very pro-active with my car care needs and works with me to pay for the services. The work is guaranteed and this location has only made one error and that was quickly rectified. I wish I lived closer to this location; the staff here is the friendliest and most helpful.
The service and attendance was well.
Service and the Staff were great
Great service and honest. Will share what needs to be done and what might need to happen next time you are in for service.
Always a good experience. These guys are great. I feel very confident in the work they do on my vehicles.
The customer service here is impeccable. They will do everything in their power to make sure that you get your car running and get back on the road as soon as possible at the fairest price possible. I couldnt have been happier with the work they did or with the speed and professionalism with which they did it. Connie in particular was phenomenal. She was sweet and kind and the greatest service manager anyone could ask for. In my honest opinion everyone there deserves a massive raise.
They only do repairs that are needed. My wife has been going to the AAA Atlantic for several years and we have always appreciated the service as well as Dannys concern for fixing our cars satisfactorily.
NC State Inspection.
Excellent service, can set appointments AND they have a shuttle available to take you to work so you don’t have to sit and wait on your car. Loved this place. Will continue to go back!
Had my car towed due to an unexpected problem. Staff was very professional and helpful with getting it repaired. First time using their services and I was very pleased at the timeliness as well. Job well done. Thanks Bruce and staff
Me Larkin was very professional with great customer service a lot better than leith Honda
The cost of repairs here is identical to dealership premium prices. Every car owner in NC should be looking up the independent mechanics
This is my go to place..the manager Dani is excellent..honest and forthcoming...a rare combination when we are talking about automotive mechanics.
Professional, great service!
Ive been going to this place for a few years now, and every time the work has been completed on time or early at the price Ive been quoted (and occasionally at a lower than estimated price). The customer service is incredible, and they keep me updated on the status of my car throughout the repair. I know I never have to worry about my vehicle when I drop it off at the AAA Atlantic Avenue location; I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
The staff were very cordial. The manager was personable, cordial, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. The attention to detail was unprecedented and you were treated like a person and not just a number.Based on my recent experiences, I will not only use them again, but I will refer every friend that I know to them.
I can not say enough about the integrity and honesty of the folks that work here at the AAA Carolinas. They were honest about the needs and cost of the repairs for my vehicle and were patient about my ability to make arrangements to get it off of their lot. Extremely friendly and good people, which can be so rare to come across. I would absolutely recommend this place to any and everyone! Thanks for all of your help, guys!
Needed a headlight, and they graciously worked me in although they had work ahead of me.
Full disclosure, Ive never gone to this place for car repairs or oil changed. I was in an accident and my car was towed here, because I have AAA ins. The day after it was towed I went here and checked on the car and let the people know the circumstances, locked the car, and gave them the key for when the adjuster came by. Yesterday I went back to clean out my car and get my license plate, because the car was considered totalled. I brought my spare key and opened the car and someone(s) had rifled through it. Pulled everything out of the glove box, the arm rest, my tampon bag had been opened and gone through then tossed in the back seat. I wouldnt trust leaving a vehicle here unattended for any reason!
AAA on Atlantic Ave has been a life saver for us more than once. They are friendly, knowledgeable and do their very best to get you in and out the same day. Thank Danny!
I have trusted my vehicles to AAA on Atlantic Ave for years because of their friendly and reliable service.
I have been taking my 2003 Toyota Echo to AAA Car Care since November 2012 and have never been disappointed with their service or their professionalism. The folks at AAA have done everything from simple oil change service to more involved engine repair. My experience: the service has always been first rate and the prices have been fair. Its such a relief to have finally found a repair shop I can trust! And I think Click and Clack would approve.
Carried my car in for a issue with it cutting off a lights. They did $308 worth of repair that was not needed. ( they thought it was the issue and would repair the problem)One day later my check engine light came on. This time a code came up.They wanted over $500 to do repair. Never offered to take the original $308 off. A repair not needed. I then left because I did not have the money. Went to a friend who recommend someone that found the parts under $100 and did the repair for under $100 and in less then an hour. Drives great and no lights.
The AAA tow truck driver recommended I go here instead of my normal place. I agreed without looking at reviews (big mistake). They quoted me $4000 to replace my transmission. Thankfully I had it taken somewhere else for a second opinion. Turns out there was nothing wrong with my transmission, just a different problem. My total is under $1000 instead of $4000.
Always very helpful. Timely repairs
Very friendly people and they did what they said they were going to do. They were the second try at figuring out the issue with my vehicle after Capital Chevrolet could not be bothered to do the work and find the issue.
AVOID this place at all costs at least if you need the state emission inspection done for your vehicle. The front-desk seller threaten to fail it I did not purchase the wiper blades from them ($55 -waaaay overpriced-). The wiper blades were not new but in good working condition (I used them the day before and they were replaced less than a year ago). The seller justified the price cause he said they needed to bring them from the store cause they did not have them for European cars (a VW Jetta). I guess this is the kind of lies they think some people believe...
Service was quick and top-notch.
Plenty of TVs...food was ok..bbq sauce was wack !
Id truthfully give them more stars If I could. Charles and the entire staff were extremely friendly and kept me up to speed throughout the entire process of fixing my car! I was on a time constraint for a trip and these miracle workers were able to get my car fixed quickly! I instantly noticed a difference in my car as I was driving away. It drove smoother and wasnt shaking anymore. These guys are good honest people which is difficult to find these days. I plan on returning for any future issues I incur.
Was able to help with my questions.
Wayne in the car care center is shady. Ive been in 3 times for an estimate and he has yet to give me one on paper. He wants me to come back with one from other places and hell beat it. AND Im a AAA member. Lucky for AAA I found another location with better customer service.
This team is the best, has never let me down.
They work as fast they can while getting the job done.They also tell you step by step what the problems are and what would possibly help to fix it.
Nice employees
Auto received repairs. Glade they check 4 wheel drive needed repairs Very pleased.Excellent Checked warning light and found and made repairs. Since it snowed and sleeted glade repairs were completed. I have a 2002 GMC Envoy so maintenance is necessary.
Car runs great
They were wonderful and understanding when I was stranded. Danny and Emily (I hope that is her name) went above and beyond in helping me.
This location recommended $900 of work on my car, I brought it to a few different oil change places after asking if I needed anything done to my car, and they all said no.My wiper blades also magically stopped working after they recommended I change them, I drove for five hours after I was here in the rain, it was very dangerous. I do not want to bring my car here again.Edit: DO NOT get anything done here, after I told them I didn’t want $900 of unnecessary work done on my car, they broke a part that lead to my car being totaled that night. (I even reported this vandalism 2 hours before the accident happened)
They do really good work here, but they are very expensive. They will drive you home or to work and pick you up if necessary. Nice clean waiting area with WiFi and coffee.
