C & C Automotive

Just got my car back from them — paid $ 200 less than I was quoted elsewhere. They are off the beaten path a bit but I was referred to them by a different auto shop that wasn’t able to help me with my car’s issue. Charlie and his team were creative in their solution and also happy to walk me through the details. Not to mention, I called them at 8:30am to see if they could fix it, had my car towed over that morning, and it was ready for pick-​up at lunchtime. Will definitely be back.

Crazy Charlie is amazing! There are few people in this world you can trust, Charlie is definitely one of them! He is always helpful and will do everything he can to not just fix the problem but fix the cause of the problem. I had a car that needed a new Catalytic converter, while another shop wanted to get the cheapest one and throw it on, Charlie gave me the option of a cheaper one that will probably not last very long, or a better one that will last a lot longer, but he also knew that if I didn’t change the sensors, it was just gonna destroy whatever he put on it. The other shop didn’t care enough to find out why the converter was ruined. No matter the issue, Charlie is the man to see!!!

I can’t recommend these guys enough. They are not only quick, they are honest, trustworthy, and always willing to explain exactly what they are doing and why. Will 100% use again and recommend to everyone I know.

I have taken my car here several times and am very pleased with their service. You may be able to find a mechanic that will do whatever work you need a little cheaper but as far as I have come to see when it comes to your mechanic you generally get what you pay for. As far as mechanics go Charlie and his team are some of, if not, the best in the area. I have always found his prices fair and his work outstanding. Any time you talk to him you can tell he loves what he does and takes pride in his work. I fully recommend crazy charlie and everyone at C&C automotive.

We were driving through Durham, NC on our way back to Massachusetts when the car started to make a funny noise. C & C was the nearest auto repair shop so I called, they said to come in, and I drove over. Charlie made the time to take a look right away, took the car for a drive and identified the problem — a piece of metal I had driven over was wedged into the tire. He refused to take any money, even though it took him over half an hour to deal with us. Everyone in his office was friendly and helpful. I wish his shop was close to where I live but I most highly recommend C & C auto for anyone in the Durham area.

Crazy Charlie is totally recommended! I have a old 2002 Focus and I needed to fix several things to be able to commute from Durham to Greensboro every weekday for 3 months.
1. He fixed everything for almost half price AAA wanted me to pay.
2. He was very attentive with me during the whole process. Very handsome and you can see he taking care of his business and customers with all responsibility and proud. You can tell when someone loves what he does
3. He was comprehensive when I had to ask 3 big favors, even not knowing me: first, to hold the payment for almost 20 days. Second: to leave my car parked there for 20 days and, finally, to negotiate the dates of payment.
Seriously, I got my car yesterday and couldn’t believe the results. He and his team made miracles in my car.
I recommend Crazy Charlie with my eyes closed!

Charlie did an excellent job on my car — he charged me less than what the dealershp was going to charge me and used parts that will las me longer. I found him through a friend who has known him for 40 years. He is a man of integrity and that is worth more than gold.

I thought I wrote a review here, but it seems to have disappeared. I thought I got very good service from Charlie– down to earth, easy to talk — and obviously knows his stuff. This is the type of person you know isn’t trying to rip you off, just get you quality service. He’s seems honest and helpful and has done a fair amount of work on my car. I don’t trust most auto mechanics, so this one is a rarity!
