Very flexible when I was asking about scheduling a Pre-Purchase Inspection for a Porsche 911. Additionally, the inspection was already completed when I arrived. Torque Automotive provided a well documented inspection sheet and answered all of my questions. I appreciated the candid feedback concerning the vehicle and it helped make an informed purchase decision.

Torque Automotive seemed like a fine place, until they lost my $300 OEM VW key fob and never bothered to compensate me for their mistake or replace the key fob. I spent weeks calling back and asking for updates and waiting for the owner to return before they insisted that I had lost the key myself and needed to look for it because they have "never lost a key before". Fortunately the price to repair exceeded the value of my vehicle, because if they had done any actual repairs, I'm not sure what else would be missing from my car.

Even though I didn't use their shop, I still wanted to write this review. Chrissy N. answered the phone when I called. From the beginning she had me as a customer. She listened to what I explained, she went and confirmed with the master tech that the information she gave was correct. I have worked in automotive for over 25 years. So, I normally have my vehicle repaired by my mechanics. Unfortunately, only Mercedes can handle the job. Thank you Chrissy for not wasting my time, money, and emotions. Thank you for listening to the customer! Thank you for going above and beyond. You have earned a customer

I had the BEST experience at Torque Automotive. I want to preface this by saying I am a 21 year old girl and was greeted with the kindest women at the front- which is very uncommon elsewhere. This business worked me in to their busy schedule, ordered the parts I needed, and held them for me until I was about to come back from college and drop my car back off. Their pricing was amazing and my car is perfectly functional again. I will never go anywhere else and I would highly recommend this place to anyone- especially if you're driving a Volkswagen!

I depend on the folks at Torque to keep my German as well as Japanese cars well maintained and running. They are friendly, fair, and offer a great service at a reasonable price. In my experience, for BMW and Mercedes, they are extremely knowledgeable, and a better alternative to the dealerships in the area.

I have an older European car and I don’t want to pay dealer prices for general maintenance. Torque was highly recommended by a car group I belong too…and they did not disappoint. I needed some work done and I had some questions/concerns. They were extremely helpful and answered all my questions. Overall it was a great experience and I will be scheduling my next maintenance action with Torque.

I really don't think these guys know what they're doing.
A year ago, my car stops working, I get my car towed to them and after they diagnose it, they call me the next day to tell me it's x issue. I tell them to go ahead and fix it and a week later I go and pick up the car. Not even 2 miles down the road, my car stops working and I end up on the side of the highway. I pay to get my car towed back to the shop where they tell me that it was a different issue and they needed to fix that instead. That's not what I'm upset about, This is...

I have been to several local places to service my Porsche Boxster and always found Torque to be very professional in all aspects. Simon, in particular, the owner, is very nice and very accommodating. They offer loaner cars and their time estimates are accurate. I believe their pricing is also reasonable and they are always willing to discuss what was done. Their waiting area and shop are clean and well maintained. If something is overlooked or there is something minor they can look at, they don't hesitate to quickly address. All around, I give them "A"s.

Clearly a 5 star customer service rating!! I needed a new battery that I discovered on the weekend after hours. The owner, Simon, took the time to send me estimates of the parts and labor. He answered several of my questions and set up an appointment for me first thing Monday morning. Jason, had me in and out in less than hour! He didn't try to "upscale" me but presented realistic options. I will definitely be back!

I thought we were beginning a great relationship of having our car serviced at Torque Automotive until we experienced mechanical problems with our vehicle approximately 6 weeks after having scheduled Mercedes Benz Service A. Our family was on the return trip of a 2-hour drive from Spencer, NC headed towards Raleigh with two small children in the back seat. We experienced a tire blow-out, down to the exposed wiring, prompting us to have the tire changed by AAA and completely replaced.

Two days ago on Friday, December 29th, we had to delay a road trip to Newnan, GA and instead fly down because

Using the trade name Hybrid Geek, they replaced my son's 2007 Prius Hybrid battery in Charlottesville, Virginia. The mechanic traveled the 450 miles from Raleigh to Charlottesville and performed the battery swap quickly and expertly. He then showed my son that all error codes had been cleared and the car works great so far--knock on wood. All this for a very fair price that I did not have to pay until the battery was installed and my son was convinced that everything worked perfectly. Here is the Hybrid Geek website https://thehybridgeek.com/about/

I bought my 2015 Toyota Prius in to get a tire sensor replaced. Steve was very professional, very courteous and was fantastic to work with! He explained in detail what needed to be one to get it fixed and the price was alot less then I had originally been quoted by the Toyota dealer. I will definitely return to Torque Automotive for my future auto needs. Fantastic service!

Until recently, I had always brought my vehicles to a BMW dealership to get repaired. After constantly feeling as if I'd been robbed over and over with overpriced service, I decided to find a shop specializing in European vehicles so finding Torque Automotive in Raleigh was a great relief. From the moment they answered the phone to drive off, the team was incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They performed the necessary repairs by actually showing me the part they were replacing and thoroughly explained the process. In addition, they gently suggested another repair which was

Torque win hands down because they can be trusted to do things the right way. Trusted to do a good job, trusted to not mess about or inflate prices or needs, and trusted to tell you the truth about things. This is a big deal if, like me, you don't speak car. The staff have gone above and beyond the call of duty for me numerous times, and I cannot recommend them enough. Certainly a way better service and cheaper than the BMW dealership.

Got a brake job done on my 06 911 C4 right before Thanksgiving. The guys at Torque are very knowledgeable, fast service, professional and honest. I used to go to Leith Porsche in Cary but they did a real bad job on my clutch the last time I went there so, I had to look elsewhere this time and I'm glad I found the Torque Automotive. I'll be going to Torque from here on.

Thanks guys.

We have used Torque since Simon left a previous shop. He has serviced our Volvo, Mini Cooper, Land Cruiser and now Acura. Torque offers great, reliable service at a reasonable price and is completely honest. I wouldn't consider trusting my vehicles anywhere else.

Great for imports! I have taken my M3 in twice, once for oil and once for new rear tires and both times Simon and his crew were welcoming and efficient. I made my appointments ahead of time so I was in and out in about an hour for each visit. I highly recommend Torque, it's always nice to find a locally owned auto shop you can trust!

I found Torque Automotive after an exhaustive search to find someone who would rebuild the high voltage battery pack on my Honda Insight (most will only replace with refurb pack). Simon did excellent work and saved me about half the cost of a replacement battery. He even provided a complementary car wash. I highly recommend.

Simon is passionate about cars and it shows in his attention to detail. I have had my Porsche to several places in the Raleigh area and he is the ONLY one who solved my performance lag problem, among other issues. Friendly service and good rates as well.

While we have used Simon on our family Bimmers (3, M3, Z4) a few times in the past, this is the first time that we have used him at his new site. As always, Simon and the crew did not disappoint.

We followed Simon from the previous shop when he opened Torque. The M3 had to go in for some work and Torque did the job for about 40% less than the dealership wanted for the same job. Simon got creative and found some solutions to the issue that saved us a lot of money.

In short, I trust Torque completely to give me a fair and reasonable estimate. We will always send our autos there for work. They
