After moving to Raleigh from a small NC town, I was skeptical about taking my car to any mechanic here. I had my car serviced in my hometown, 45 minutes away, for 4 years because I consistently got lower quotes there and knew the mechanics. Eventually, I was in a bind and had to get the car serviced in Raleigh and a friend recommended Dauntless. Their price was comparable to what I would have paid in my hometown, and Gil and Max are friendly, reputable guys. Gil even recommended that I do some [much needed] maintenaince to improve the life of my engine, and told me how I could do it myself at home to save myself some money. Their genuine interest seems to be making sure your car is running as well as possible while costing you as little as possible. Sure, they make a living doing a great job fixing cars, but they aren't out to make an extra buck off of their customers for work that's not really needed. Like a previous comment, they treat you like a person, not a job order.
Pros: Honest mechanics, job well done
