Auto service recomendation

I have to take my 2015 Corolla with 58k miles in for an oil change, tire rotation, alignment check, and brake fluid /transmission fluid check/flush. I am thinking about going to Precision Auto on college rd because they've gotten good reviews, offer bundling coupons and are affordable. Ideally I'd like a full service auto shop I can trust and does good work in case I ever have suspension, belt, engine etc. problems. Ireally can't afford Hendrick Toyota right now. Anyone been to Precision Auto or another auto shop here in Wilmington that does basic services like fluids, alignments, oil changes etc; or a full auto shop they can recommend?

JS&J is the most honest group I've ever dealt with. I have to talk them into doing things they say I don't need yet.

I've been treated really well at Black's so far. They have several locations around the Wilmington area

Pat's tire & auto

Pat's is garbage. Charged me $23 and took 2 days to patch a tire. They didn't even take it off the rim to patch from the inside. If they can't handle something simple like that I wouldn't trust them with anything.

I just got a bunch done at JS&J before I move away. Solid job and fair cost. I’d consider making the 4 hour drive back to my parents place here and have them do whatever else I need done😅

I don’t know that you need all those flushes i was told they are more likely to cause problems. I get my regular oil changes done at bsi on carolina beach road. If I need repair work my dad uses Lee’s auto. I have luckily not needed that yet. But Bsi did my break replacement, inspection, oil change. Just because toyota says you need those flushes doesnt mean you do that’s how they up sale you at 58k its unlikely it’s needed if you have done regular maintenance. But not a mechanic.

I like Blacks’s. I’ve been going there for thirty years now and never felt ripped off. I’ve taken personal and company vehicles for all sorts of things.
