Cary Auto Repair

Dave always provides prompt and courteous service.

I was really impressed with the service they went above and beyond.

We wouldn't trust anyone else to work on our LR3!

I had a "check engine" light go on and, of course, the dealer service center couldn't get to me for a week and a half. I took it to Discovery and they were able to work me in. The mechanics were thorough, the waiting area was comfortable, and everyone involved was very pleasant and professional. You can't ask for better than that. I'm definitely going to use them for my next repair.

I do a lot of the work on my Land Rovers myself, so I fully know what it takes to maintain these beasts. As expected by everyone there are times and jobs that just make sense to pay someone else to do. Dave and Tracy have been long term partners and they always do a professional job for me. The results of work conducted as always been exactly as agreed, I will always go back here

I just picked up my 2008 RR Sport HSE from Dave and Tracy and the guys at Discovery. As I have come to expect over the last ten years of doing business at Disco, even after extensive repairs and performance upgrades my truck was delivered in perfect condition...and this was after having the entire transmission, exhaust system and rear differential removed and replaced! Dave personally drives every car after every repair...he hands over the keys confident the job has been performed correctly. I have restored, raced and owned European brands, and primarily British marques, since the mid-70's and now rely solely on Dave and Tracy's advice whether it is an oil change or outright engine replacement. Over the last decade Dave and Tracy have been the exclusive 'one-stop' solution for minor service to near-restoration on my cars which included Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover/Range Rover, BMW...and even Alfa Romeo (yes, a perfect valve job and suspension upgrade on an Alfa Romeo Spider Quadrifoglio...) vehicles. Dave always make the service situation clear, and he isn't afraid to give the hard advice when he thinks the repairs may not be the right dollars-and-cents approach. But if my decision is to "Go ahead Dave...I like the car and want it to be right." (...this happens often with British cars you love!) the car enthusiasts within Dave, Tracy and their technicians take over and you would swear you just handed the keys over to an heirloom Ferrari. I've been a Disco customer since the 'Germantown Road' days when there was room for two Rovers end to end and little else (...the exact opposite of the new facility on Maynard Road!) and often think about why this husband-and-wife team have been so successful and the business has grown so dramatically. It was probably summed up best by a friend who I recommended take his own BMW's to Discovery; he said it was first the accurate diagnostics, then repair options clearly laid out regarding what must be done to repair the vehicle. Next, suggestions provided on what should be done in time, and the vehicle returned on time every time. And finally, NEVER needing to return because the job wasn't done right. I agree...my very frugal nephew had neglected his 2.0T Passat for several years. A foreign car shop in the Pinehurst area actually told him to 'give it up for dead' but Dave and his VW specialist (...Disco is careful to have technicians schooled in the makes they specialize in repairing) asked to take a look at it. A long story short, the Passat is alive and well for a fraction of what other shops had quoted, and even after the entire front end of the car as well as most of the engine ancillaries having to be removed, it has never been back to Disco once despite significant repair. Well, except for oil changes. Frankly, I couldn't justify owning the vehicles that I chose to drive were it not for Dave, Tracy and the Disco team. The key to Rovers and Jags is maintenance and upkeep performed by an honest and skilled team of technicians you can depend upon. I certainly recommend taking your vehicles to Dave and Tracy. See what it's like to work with automotive enthusiasts again, like it was in days gone past. And NEVER buy any of the makes on the used car market in which Disco specializes without Dave looking it over for you first!

We have a Volkswagen, and after two horrible experiences with the dealer we were desperate, thank goodness we found Discovery Automotive. They diagnosed out problems right away (bad glow plugs) and worked with our warranty company to get our AC compressor replaced. The dealer wanted a $90.00 diagnostic fee and flatly told us the AC would not be covered by the warranty! Dave told me not to be too hard on the dealer, he just has more up to date diagnostics. He doesn't even specialize in VW! I'll not be going back to the dealer. It is so refreshing to deal with a competent an honest mechanic.

There is no where better in the area to get service done on your Land Rover or Range Rover. David is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I have taken my two Land Rover Discovery Series II's to him and it has always been a wonderful experience. He knows we like to work on our cars and gives us options and tips on what we can do ourselves and whenever there is something we can't tackle they take care of it for a fair price and with quality work. He helped us find a lot of replacement parts for my current Disco and was much easier and cheaper than finding them all over craigslist, Ebay, and Amazon. I am taking my Disco to Florida from North Carolina this November and he worked with us to make sure everything was ready to go and in the best possible shape to make it there and back with no problems. These cars need to be taken care of properly to perform how they should and can last a long time, so don't take them to some budget mechanic that doesn't have the experience necessary to work on them sufficiently, take them to David at Discovery Automotive.

Discovery Automotive is what you are looking for when it comes to Automotive repair, Fair and Honest. I recently took in a VW Passat, and a Jaguar XJ8 for an oil change. They went above and beyond to get them scheduled around my busy work schedule and they did an outstanding job! Dave, Tracey, and staff are very kind and got the work completed quickly. They are good at looking out for customers and understand how to fix problems the most cost effective way possible. We look forward to continuing to bring our cars to Discovery Automotive. Thank you Dave, Tracey and Staff!

I've experienced nothing but professionalism, courtesy, and unsurpassed knowledge of all things Land Rover. We are fortunate to have a great independent Rover shop in the area.
