What clients say about Fremont Auto Tire & Wrecker in Fremont (NC)
GUY quoted me one price before drop off,dropped truck off at 10am and said it would be ready that afternoon,didnt get the truck back until 10 that night and charge me more than what I was quoted,never again.Only good for inspections and used tires!!!
Ronnie was amazing. I ran over some debris and bent my rim. Ronnie was able to bend the rim back out and get me up and running. Will definitely be using Fremont Tire for future needs.
Bought a used tire from the shop and got 8 miles from the shop when the used tire blew out leaving me stuck on the side of the road. The shop wouldn’t send out the tow truck to get my car back to the shop. Cost me $125 to have it towed somewhere else to replace the tire. They’re really friendly to your face but your a stranger after you pay them !!!
Always liked this shop until I learned that the owner ( Dave ) doesn’t care . Dropped my vehicle off to have the brakes done prior to visiting the mountains. One employee did one side of the car and the owner did the other side. When replacing the pads you must clean the old grease off the upper and lower “guide pins” /“ slide pins ” and reapply new synthetic brake grease so the caliper doesn’t seize as happened to me and my family luckily just prior to going down the mountain.
The side the owner worked on were the only wheels that did have new grease applied to the caliper guide pins.
I had just passed the warning sign when they seized up. Smoke was billowing off the wheel and got so hot you could feel the heat radiating off the wheel just looking at it. We were stranded on the side of the road for hours at 1AM.
This of course wore the new pads out but that’s overshadowed by being stranded over a holiday weekend when all the shops decided to close .After 2 days a local shop applied 30 cents worth of grease to the pins takings all of 30 seconds to complete I was back on the road after loosing hundreds over being stranded out of town,Missed work and the charge from the out of town shop . Within a short time I began to have more trouble because of the owners shortcut and ended up with a warped rotor caused from all the heat when my brakes seized up.
Save your money and find a reputable shop it could save your life !!!
Used to be a stand up place but at this point with all the problems with my mother's car just beware they will tell you that you need things fixed that are not broken just to make a buck very disappointed thought they were honest and better than that
Had my car that needed a lot done that would have been expensive beyond what I could afford. They worked with me and now my car runs better than when we bought them (used)!
Took my car to them for transmission failure, dragged their feet for almost a year of me having to constantly hound them and buy the part FOR them to fix it, only for it to fail again two weeks later, took it back to repair it under warranty...been 14 months now and no progress, constantly dodging contact with me and letting my car fall to rot. If I could afford a lawyer, I would sue. Don't take even your worst enemy's car here, best case scenario you'll get shoddy, jury-rigged work, worst case you'll never see it again, like me.
Great place... Dave aka The Walking Man's Friend is a good dude. Do anything he can to help anybody (even a stranger) just needs some clean up, organization & a Manger that will run off the bumbs always up there trying to get something for nothing
I took my car for lifters n he had my car never call me had to keep calling the shop to get him n than everytime I let him know I was coming he put my hood up like he was fixing it only fixed one side of the spark plugs n ignition coil when he said he can do lifters n the whole time ain't do nothing had my car for almost 3weeks he is very slow bad experience with Dave n than he didn't even put my car back together someone else at the shop had to put it back together stood out there for 4hours
Love this place have known Dave and his mom. For 20years they have always been there for me to they care a great deal about they customers and Dave will do what ever he can to get u in your car asap
The owner and his staff were exceptionally professional and kind. Along with my purchase of a used tire, I received a spare and a jack FREE. Dave directed his staff to make sure the rest of my tires were inspected and at the correct pressure. I’m really grateful. One employee commented “I gotta make sure you’re safe, just as safe as I’d want my Mama to be!” That was a very wonderful sentiment. I’ve found myself a new area mechanic shop!
I've been coming here since I was a tiny girl and Big David was starting the place. I grew up with the family that owns it and no matter what "bad egg" employees they may have come across they have always done good and right by my family. Today's visit was no different and as always I look forward to going back.
Took my car here in midDecember for a blower repair and alignment. After two weeks I was told it was done and I could come pick it up. Paid $400 of the $500 quoted and upon arriving to pick up my car was told it hadn’t been worked on yet they needed the go ahead to order the part. Frustrated but understanding I left with the promise to be contacted. Two weeks of chasing these people around trying to get a call, response or update nobody would help. Ended up having to drive there multiple times to actually talk to someone. Arrived to find my brand new transmission had been removed and my axle snapped with a new quote of $600 more for removing a part that had nothing to do with the work I asked for. After telling them I’d rather just have it towed and find a new mechanic they told me not until I payed the full amount of $1000 and I’d get my car back totaled with no transmission. I forgot to mention in between all of this when I did make my appearances to discuss my car the workers and owner were usually high as kites all jumbled up. I wouldn’t even recommend throwing your trash away here let alone get your car tended to.
They installed the wrong part on my car back in April and caused my car to break down. They refused to refund me even after I returned the part back to them. Drive axel. So ended up having to take them to small claims court and I won the case. Here it is almost October and I haven't received a dime from them. Yes they "seem" to want to help until something happens on their end.
This place is out in the country but I'd be scared of deer going after dark or early in the morning. Family friend brought me out here to get help with a used tire. Can't say anything bad about them. Thanks for the help when it was needed.
This place passed my car inspection 2 years in a row ,took the same car up there this year same tinted windows and all and it failed. Didn’t even mention it when I payed for the inspection including the 10 bucks extra for the windows. Even bought a couple of tires from them because they inspected my car. No longer doing any business here !!
Used to only go to Daves, he helped me put a belt on my car, but cut the belt in the process. After he left, the belt popped. I messaged him that night and he said he'd sell me a belt discounted...I have YET to be able to get in touch with Dave. I have to say this is last straw. I will pay full price at advance Auto and if I cannot get the belt on myself, I'll pay to have it towed to another shop. Bad business when you screw someones crap up then avoid them.
