I have been a satisfied customer and a rabid fan of Auto Logic for just about 25 years and highly recommend this establishment. When I moved here from Boston, my real estate agent recommended them and I've never looked back. Whenever I communicate, I am heard, I am respected, and I feel like a valuable customer. They are truthful, honest, do not overcharge me for products or services, reliable, competent, friendly--the works! A++

Very highly recommend! The people are kind and helpful and made me feel a lot better about the damage I did to my car. As a college student who doesn't know much about car stuff, I was grateful for their willingness to explain to me what needed to be done as well as break down my price options. I really felt that I got the best deal possible, which is not something I can say for a lot of auto shops.

When it turned out there was something else wrong with my car, I was immediately contacted and I didn't feel pressured to get it fixed but they explained to me the pros and cons of getting work done. Just a generally great shop with great people!

The best. I trust them 100% to do excellent work, be honest, and never take advantage, even though I'm sure they can tell I know nothing about cars. They won't hesitate to tell me I can wait for a repair or that new tires would probably be cheaper elsewhere. There were things previous shops had told me I needed to regularly do that when I started going to Auto Logic they corrected me, basically telling me those other shops were lying. I moved to Durham but still make the drive back to Carrboro.

I have taken my cars to Auto Logic for many years. They have always worked hard to make sure my car was in the best shape possible, without being pushy about services that are immediately required. I trust them to give me good advice on maintenance and help me decide what needs to be done to my car. They have also told me that I should take a repair to a dealer as that repair was covered by a recall.

We love taking our cars here. They always do an amazing job and they do it quickly, at a fair price, and with phenomenal customer service. I can't think of a single negative thing to say. I wish all businesses were as pleasant to work with as this one! Service: Exhaust

I love Auto Logic! For many years they serviced my old Honda Accord, and I've been bringing them my new Honda HRV since the warranty period for dealer services expired. I always feel that my car is expertly cared for, and I'm given thoughtful information and good advice. Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

Auto Logic is hands down the BEST. We "tavel" from Durham to bring our cars to them and have been coming for over 15 years. Why? Because we can always trust that they are honest, do amazing work, and are just super friendly. From fixing the transmission on our Odyssey (magic), to evaluating the condition of a used car prior to us purchasing it.to an oil change- they are the BEST! Thanks Auto Logic!

I have been going to Auto Logic for three years and cannot say enough good things about them. They are professional, excellent at communicating with me about my car and any service it needs, and do great work! I am consistently impressed by every aspect of my interactions with Auto Logic and highly recommend them to anyone, especially people with Volvos!

Auto Logic is great. They're straightforward, honest, and timely. I've gotten several different kinds of work done here, from new tires to state inspections. They will go through any questions you may have and will tell you exactly what's up and explain things well. They've even helped me out by explaining small repairs I can do at home, like the oil change and spark plugs. All in all a great local repair shop.

Have had multiple cars serviced at Autologic - they are always friendly and helpful. They clearly explain what the car needs and give you a heads up on what might be needed in the near future. Never have felt over charged or that work suggested isn't needed. Highly recommend.

I decided to try this shop when I needed a big repair because the reviews are amazing and I love Carrboro, wanting to support a local business. I think if you are having maintenance or small repairs done, or don't need to know exactly when your car will be ready you'll be happy with this shop. The mechanics are competent and they're polite enough (not that you need to be nice if you can do your job well).

The prices aren't cheap but they're probably what you'd expect from a city mechanic with plenty of business. Labor will be a large chunk of your bill, but hey, that's to be expected. Unfortunately, while they appear to communicate well I felt let down both times I went here. If the car isn't ready, or isn't going to be ready in time, I just want to hear that.

I don't want to be told, "It'll be ready." only for it to not be done when they originally promised, or for it to be right before they close so I can't actually get there in time. This is a busy shop, Marianne at the front desk has her work cut out for her and probably deserves a vacation. Who doesn't! As a suggestion, you can let people know the shop closes at 6pm on the dot and either give them more than 15 minutes to get there or tell them it won't be ready until the next day.

I think most people want to be able to get their car when they're told it will be ready, not to show up and find the shop closed. The bottom line for me is that other shops in the area cost about the same but have better customer service for the price (transparent communication, rides, pick ups, etc.). Take your vehicle here and you'll get it properly serviced, just don't let the awesome reviews inflate your expectations.

Best mechanic in the chapel hill/carrboro area! The AC on my car was fixed in a timely manner for a affordable price. Highly recommended. Staff was friendly and at tentative to my needs.

I have used them several times over the last few weeks. My daughter's car overheated and after reviewing the paperwork from the last shop he noted it should be under warranty there and a simple coolant hose fix. After towing there that shop quoted me $1500 to fix.an oil problem. After towing to another shop Tim came back to work on it and discovered that shop had created a hole in a pipe coming directly from the motor.

He was able to weld it for $300, fix the coolant hose issue and get us back on the road. He then fixed my truck alternator and a few other random issues and get a whole garage full of things fixed for me. Top notch communication and customer service. 10/10 will use again!

Amazing place. Honest people that do a good job. I had a bulb out on my car, and I was in and out in 20 minutes, thanks to Bo. They definitely earned themselves a new customer today!

Finally a garage where I don't feel like I'm being taking advantage of! They clearly lay out what your car needs and doesn't need, explain the costs, and communicate at every step. A great option for imports.

Optimal customer service, but higher than average parts/service prices. Might be worthwhile for some.

I received incredible service and equally as great information about what is needed and what my options are. Will definitely return if any issues rise again, but hopefully not;

In the challenging COVID-19 environment we needed a vehicle inspection, followed by a service. The level of customer service here was extraordinary - transparent, helpful, fair and did exactly what they said they'd do. So many places, by action, don't engender trust, but here you get the feeling they really want happy customers - and based on the other reviews, they're getting them!

This is now the go-to place for my daughter in Chapel Hill and as a capable mechanic myself (but I work in the corporate world so I don't have the time to work on another vehicle) I'm very picky about where to send people. I'm very happy with this choice!

Our car broke down the day we were headed out of town. They were kind enough to let us leave our car there for the duration of our vacation and then come back to deal with it! It was so nice of them. They dealt with everything so well. Mary Ann was so kind and helpful! We had to go to the DMV after we were at Auto Logic so Mary Ann even came outside and gave us directions to the DMV. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Great service and they will go to great lengths to get your car fixed along with any services. Prepare to pay a little more than a typical local repair shop however

As a recent transplant to the Raleigh area, I was looking for a mechanic I could trust to start taking care of my car. Based on ratings, I tried Auto Logic and I am pleased with my first experience. The net is that they looked over the car, found nothing amiss and told me they found nothing to fix. $200 for diagnostic and oil change. I estimate the dealer service cost for the same would have been substantially more. Also, while I was waiting to check in, the couple in front of me were in a bit of a panic due to screeching / grating noises coming from their brakes.

The husband needed to get to the airport in about 2 hours for a flight. The receptionist asked if they had been driving on gravel which they replied only to turn around in a drive way. The mechanics took the car in and came out about 10 minutes later with a piece of gravel that was caught in the brake assembly. They sent the couple on their way at no charge.

I brought in my car to have autologic check the entire car over (belts, hoses, tires, fluid levels, etc.) for any problems. I knew my brakes needed to be changed and that's what autologic found. They replaced my brakes and now my brakes work very well and are very quiet. I will definitely use them again as they are very honest and don't try to "upsell" you anything you don't need. Thank you autologic!

I've worked in the auto industry for most of my adult life and can easily claim Autologic as one of the best shops in the Triangle. These guys are always friendly and super fair. Will definitely continue to use as my main mechanics for future repairs.

I have been going here since I moved to the area 5 years ago and over the past 2 years or so service has greatly declined. I do still trust that the recommendations they make are good and they are not telling me I need repairs I don't need. But I cannot trust that they will actually do what I drop the car off for anymore. I have had several instances of scheduling for an oil change and inspection where they just forget to do one or the other.

One time they kept the registration and I had to go back to get it. Recently I noticed abnormal wear on my front 2 tires of only a year old and may have to replace abnormally early, I suspect due to shoddy alignment here since no one else has touched my tires since they got placed. One of the staff talked about keeping a bottle of whiskey in the back and that might explain the downhill trajectory. I will be finding another mechanic

Wow! Took my 2002 LS 430 in this morning with worries about brakes and a bad tire. Rather than scamming me, selling me something I don't need.these folks nicely, and with care, told me I didn't need brake repair, fixed my tire and charged me a reasonable modest fee. They took me back to the bay and showed me the tire issue, too. What more can you ask for? Honest people, nice shop and timely service. I will definitely be returning. One tiny complaint: It was cold in the waiting area. LOL. Great service, guys!

Bo & the team @ Auto Logic saved me when my car broke down in Carrboro when the AAA dropped the ball & Hyundai would not help me out! Professional service with a smile. I was in a bind & Bo stepped up & helped me right away! My son also got great service on his Toyota here as they appear to repair all makes & models.

Another Carrboro gem! I usually go to my car dealership to get my oil changed, but I think they are way too expensive and take nearly 2 hours to get it done. Today, on a whim (but also thanks to fellow Yelpers), I called to make an appointment to get my oil changed (it also includes a tire rotation if needed). Marianne was very friendly and told me to come on in since it's a slow day.

First off, I love how eclectic the decor is. There's even a classic soda vending machine; and yes, you can drink one. Besides being won over by the decor, the people who work here are friendly, down to earth and, best of all, truly helpful. I've learned from past mistakes that most auto shops like to tell you that there's loads of crap wrong with your car so you spend more money.

Auto Logic is a real homie. They'll let you know what your car needs, take care of it smoothly (and quickly), and off you go! (While I decided to wait, I walked around a bit to the local thrift stores to buy some time. Another perk of Carrboro!)
