Absolutely 5 stars! I highly recommend HC Auto and Body. This was my first time coming here for my NC state inspection, and the experience was fantastic. The technician gave me a great deal right off the bat. When my car didn't pass the initial inspection, he didn’t try to upsell me or pressure me into buying…

The customer service was very good, but I didn't like the mechanical/electrical service. I had to go back twice for the same problem. Apparently, they don't check properly. After the second visit, everything was resolved. Let's hope it lasts and I don't have to go back for the same problem.
