I needed a new battery for my car and couldn't turn it off after my friend gave me a jump. He suggested I go to Womble Automotive. The mechanic there was clear and accurate in his communications. He ordered the battery, it was delivered, he installed it, I paid, and I was off and running again all within 30 to 40 minutes. I'm new to the area, and I have now found my new auto repair shop!

This was my second time bringing my 2015 Jeep Wrangler to the guys at Womble, and they exceeded expectations on all fronts. The first visit was for a cracked radiator two days before Christmas break (I’m a college student who drives to and from Maryland), and they had me back on the road in two days. My most recent visit was for a tune-up. I dropped the car off Friday and had it back by Monday. The owner is extremely responsive, detailed, and runs an honest shop. Highly recommend for Elon Students in need of a reliable shop!

Mixed feelings about this repair shop… I’ve brought several cars here and have been pleased with my previous experiences until this last time. My fiancée was on her way to the airport when the CEL came on and the car went into limp mode on the interstate. Had it towed to Womble and told me the codes that were popping up, which had to do with the vvt solenoids (4) that the car has. They said they recommend to replace all 4 which will cost $1400 and if that doesn’t fix it then I’m looking at spending 3-4k on a new timing kit. So they install the solenoids and tell me to come pick it up… 2 miles down the road the CEL pops back on, so I tell my fiancée to bring the car back. They say “Well we really don’t know what’s going on let’s clear the code again and see how it does and if the light comes back on bring it back next week”….. uhhh ok? So before we can get the car back home, guess what? Boom. Light is back. (Shocker) and on top of that the oil pressure is reading low. With about 15 minutes of research I find that some people have had the same problem and the culprit is the oil filter collapsing. So I take the oil cap assembly off and the shaft that supports the filter has broke and is causing the oil filter to collapse on itself, which was causing the solenoids to not get enough oil pressure in turn triggering the light. A trip to the auto parts store and new oil filter and cap assembly later the car is running phenomenal. I never needed the solenoids… I’m just glad I was able to fix it and I didn’t give them 4k for a new timing kit which wouldn’t had solved anything. $1400 down the drain.
