“We recently visited the Outer Banks, and encountered car trouble the day before we intended to drive home. We spent all morning trying to find a shop to fix our problem, and visited Ocean Auto in the process. They were unable to get to it that day, or the next, but graciously recommended a couple of other places nearby (who couldn't help either.) As it turned out, we chose them to do the work, rented a car to get home, and returned the following week to pick ours up. They were totally accommodating in letting our vehicle sit on their lot until we could get back to it, and the price for the work was just about what we would have expected.
To sum up, I felt like we were as well taken care of there as we would have been at the shop near our home, where we've been going for 20 years. I see no reason to give them less than five stars.”
“David and his staff are top-notch. I know when my car goes in for service that it will be done in a timely and professional manner. No second thoughts about them being truthful about recommended service. Safety is always priority.”

301 W Fresh Pond Dr unit 3, Kill Devil Hills“My friend brings her big old 2000 Toyota here and he can always take care of what's wrong and doesn't charge a ton of money! I don't know if he can fix my new 2022 Jeep Overland with a (A)! on the dash all of a sudden and it takes about 3 tries to start it!”
“This place was very fast and very inexpensive. I’ve gotten car inspections that took longer. I thought I was going to pay way more than I actually did. I highly recommend these guys. They did a great job and now my car drives and sounds amazing. They are EVERYTHING you want from a mechanic.Service: Exhaust”
“Awesome customer service and quality work. I love that appointments can be made for the same week. Recommended for anyone needing tires and all other auto services.”

83 Harbor Rd, Wanchese“Got into some outboard motor trouble while on vacation and felt this gentleman went above and beyond to help. Not only did he help find the right plugs but took time to ask questions to see what issues I was having rather than just trying to make a sale. Price was half of others locally. Motor is running better than ever and service was excellent.”
“"Thank you" . I came in for peeling paint on my Rav 4. You took the time to share an article about paint peeling issue. I have an appointment on Tuesday to start the claim. I wouldn't have had this information if you hadn't take the time to check. I can't thank you enough.”
“I liked this place and the guys were really nice, only bad thing is you have to wait weeks to get them to work on your car,which is not so bad if you have two cars, but we only have one,so that wasn't good for us.”
“Developed a slow leak while on vacation. First two shops i encountered couldn't or wouldn't work us in. Office manager at this location was super helpful and worked us in on short notice near closing time. Technician found and fixed the source of the leak and had us safely back on the road very quickly. Awesome service and staff, great price!”

“The absolute best mechanic1. Professional2. Thorough3. Honest and Reliable4. Looks out for his clients!Not enough room to say it all but if anyone here asks me if I know of a great honest mechanic—always give them Mannkaniks info! Thanks Rex and crew!Services: Tire change”
“Had car issues this past weekend. Had a mobile mechanic come out, but couldn’t complete the repair work. I was referred to Pugh’s, but told they didn’t open until Monday morning…it was Sunday. I called before the “open hours” on Monday, and had a tow truck there within 30-mins! My car was taken in, and a THOROUGH inspection completed. They didn’t just start throwing parts on it, they ACTUALLY dove into what the issues were. I can honestly say this mechanic shop is TOPNOTCH! Highly recommend if you ever have car issues around the Kill Devil, Nags Head, Kitty Hawk area!!”
“Marshall has not saved me once but three times. The second time was super human. He drove 80 miles twice, each way, to get my 5th wheel on the road.Would still be stuck there today if not for him. Can’t thank him enough.”
