What Our Customers Are Saying

My daughter attends UNC Asheville, 2 hours from home. She had a check engine light come on while driving back to school after being home for the weekend. I sent her here for diagnosis and repair. She was handled with kindness and respect. Seemed like very honest people. Repair was quick and efficient. Price was reasonable. Very female friendly!!!! My daughter said she never felt intimidated or taken advantage of. We found our new go-to Asheville mechanic!
John Vanderbilt, 10/15/2020
Excellent service. Kind and helpful people. My new go to dealership!
Bonnie Hughes, 02/25/2020
These guys (and girls) are the best ever. So open and honest about work to be done, and what's (truly) necessary for your car, that it sometimes still takes me by surprise since the norm nowadays is to (instead) "take you for a ride". What a nice contrast they are to the rest. I can't recommend them enough for your car repairs and opinions.
Cathie R.
Great folks, easy to work with, and honest. They tell you when something needs to be fixed, and tell you when you'd be fine without the repair.
K. R.
Done good by me so far. A little pricey for a oil change compared to other places but I trust them on all their work and that's what really matters. They could've made money off of me by replacing a part but told me I'd be better off getting a new car due to other problems. I appreciate the honesty.
Matthew J.
Helped fix a problem with my Subaru recently (that is rather specific to Subarus as well.) Knowledgable helpful staff here that were able to quickly service me. Affordable prices also. Will recommend to anyone around town.
Jaimie R.
Been going them for almost 20 years. Great service, honest with a sense of humor.
Dan P.
This is the place to go to get your car fixed, nice staff, know their work. Been with them for many years. I strongly recommend them
Victoria C.
We've been taking our Lexuses and Infinity to Mostly since we moved here 8 years ago, and they are great. Very responsive and they do very good work, which they always stand behind.
Alan K.
Excellent mechanics and A+ customer service! For the past 5 years, Mostly Automotive has basically been helping me rebuild my 98 Toyota Tacoma and I couldn't be any happier with their work. They are honest, friendly, knowledgeable and always on schedule. Awesome!
Stephen L.
Just moved into area and needed to have my 10 yr old Nissan repaired. I was worried about being able to find a repair shop that I could trust and feel comfort and comfortable with. I was not disappointed with MAR and will not hesitate to take my vehicle(s) back for any needed service. The receptionist was very pleasant (enjoyed the banter), and the problem was diagnosed and repaired in a few hours at a very reasonable price.
Vicki K.
Great service, friendly people. Took our Land Cruiser here to get our AC diagnosed during our vacation. Would trust Mostly to do the repairs but decided to try it for ourselves to save some dough :)
Tori M.
Mostly Automotive is the most professional, honest and qualified team in Asheville. I have been a client for 14 years and there is nothing that comes close to the service they provide.
Evette S.
LOVE Mostly Automotive! Will NEVER go anywhere else! I tell everyone how great they really are! Honest, Fun, and Cheap!

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
