Visited Black’s Tire in Calabash, NC on November 3, 2026 to have a NC Inspection completed. They took my request immediately and was done in 45 minutes. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. It is a very efficient shop. All the employees were always busy and very friendly and helpful to many customers.

After that wait I approached the counter and was told that my service wasn’t even started and that it may be another hour and a half. I did have an appointment and…

Just moved here & needed my annual inspection. Called & arrived 15 min later - Randy handled the situation right away. Despite a full lot & people waiting on their service the inspection was completed & I was on my way in just under an hour. Friendly, courteous professional service & close to our home. We will be back when necessary.

I came in for my annual inspection and get my old changed. They also rotate my times for me and do an overall check of things. Make sure I'm okay. I've been going there for years. They're always courteous, kind, answers my questions promptly, and I think they're fair priced. I will highly recommend them to anybody.…
