Very nice and friendly staff
Went in for my vehicle inspection. Called day before to schedule an appointment. Was told that wasn't necessary, just come in. When I arrived the following day, I was 3rd in line with an average wait time of 20 minutes each. No big deal, had nowhere to be. Waiting area was clean. Staff was friendly. Overall a good experience.
Have only done annual inspections here but they are always friendly and quick to get them done.
We are new to the area and had to find a mechanic. We're so glad to find Black's Tire and Auto in Calabash NC. As a woman, you never know if you are being taken advantage of, but William was very helpful, honest, and courteous. They were also very reasonable in price. This will be our go-to garage! Thank you so much!
Great job had to order the tire then installed and checked it out
Great place
When I arrived I was welcomed and told they would get to me shortly. After a minute she took my request and told 25 to 30 minutes before they could get to me. Waited about 15 minutes and said they were done. Get job. Speedy too. Thanks.
These guys are always friendly and quick to service.
This is my second review of Black's tires. These guys& gals are so nice & great to do business with. I had an oil change a tire patched & rotation plus yearly inspection. All was done great & fast.

Fast, efficient, and courteous service. Nothing not to like. I won’t hesitate to use them again.
Friendly folk, helpful and timely service
I booked an oil change and inspection. While waiting they came and got me to show me my back breaks and what was going on. Thank goodness they did because I didn’t have long till it totally messed up my car. They were very informative and never pushy, thankfully I know about cars and never did I feel pushed to do…
Highly recommend this location in Calabash. The staff was all very friendly, all my questions were answered and the waiting area was very clean.
I went to Blacks for a State Safety Inspection. The Service was outstanding. It was my first time. The staff was friendly, helpful, and advised me on everything I needed to provide to get the Inspection. I will be back to have other work performed on my vehicle.
Called and made an appointment. Arrived on time, they got me right in, took care of my needs, paid and left. Met or exceeded my expectations. Good customer service and reasonable prices. I would recommend and will return.
Highly recommend their Calabash location. The folks here are honest and friendly, and the prices are fair. They communicate when they say they will and don’t keep you waiting longer than necessary.

Friendly service and very clean facilities.
Very efficient and quick........ needed yearly emissions inspection, appointment lasted only 15 minutes.................
Have been twice in the last week for service on two different vehicles. Fixed a tire on one, and inspected the other. Always quick and prices are fair.
It was a great experience.
Calked to check if there was a wait for inspections. They said, you can just come on in. I did and they had me in and out within a half hour. Really nice employees.
Quick, fare, honest. Im truly thankful!!! I made an appointment and went in a couple days later to have Black's install a heater control valve and hose. They did a bg coolant flush as well. Im truly thankful that I have heat again. Thank you guys so much!
Friendly and professional!
No wait - checked in at register - car was taken right in!!
In and out great service.
Quick service! Great experience
I was out of town in MB, SC visiting my parents and I needed an inspection. Everyone there was nice, very friendly and efficient! It was worth my time to drive from MB to this location! I would highly recommend them and look forward to using them in the future.
Fast, friendly and efficient service with fair pricing.
Dropped in on vacation for a state car inspection. Quick and easy and they were professional and courteous!
I went to Black's Tire and Auto for an oil change and inspection. The website doesn’t note that Saturdays are walk-in only, but that’s not the staff’s fault. They noticed a headlight issue that would have kept me from passing, fixed it right away, and had me road-ready the same day. Excellent mechanic and great service at the front desk. Highly recommend!
Top notch experience. Professional, clean, and friendly!
I was in for auto Inspection. It was quick and efficient. Everyone was friendly. I plan to go back next year!
Took my car for inspection . Staff was professional and friendly. Will definitely go back for my car issues.
Nice quick and easy car inspection. Great price
You asked me to submit a review so here goes. We asked you to work on 3 things: an oil change, an inspection, and determine why our “tire monitoring system” light was on. We left our vehicle and you said you would call us with what needed to be done with the tire light. We got no call but rather a text at closing…
Easy to make an appointment. Needed state inspection, oil change and tire rotation. All were done in a timely manner and professionally completed. Will go back again.
Black's Tire & Auto Service did a great job with my car. They did the inspection and had my car ready ahead of schedule!! Their customer service is excellent!! Thank you so much!!
