Oh man, what a blessing it is that we found Joe to help us fine tune our daughters car, a classic 1975 VW Super Beetle named "Frank!"Joe listened to all of our concerns and took the time to investigate every single one of them and identify solutions so Frank could be back on the road safely. He is very knowledgeable, caring and detailed! He spared no time explaining everything we needed to know and made himself available to answer any other questions we would have afterwards.We wouldn't trust anyone else but Joe to take care of Frank. He is the best!!!Services: Electrical repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Side view mirror repair, Transmission repair, Auto maintenance, Auto brake replacement, Oil change

Really fair pricing and Joe does such a good job with finding and fixing the problem. I had my brakes done. And my daughter got a bumper to bumper inspection by Joe when she bought her car. He s honest and up front with everything. Highly recommend!!

Our initial experience with Joe involved a diesel truck that would not start while we were on a camping trip towing an RV with only two days left on our reservation. Joe immediately impressed me by demonstrating detailed knowledge of the specific characteristics of the truck make and year, essentially diagnosing the problem through a series of questions he asked over the phone. Understanding our situation, he worked us in immediately when our local dealer would not schedule us for a week. We had the truck towed to his shop that evening and he called at 8:00 the next morning having already run diagnostics to confirm the issue and had the parts on order. He completed the work the same day and his original estimate was spot on. We found him to be super nice, deeply knowledgeable, extraordinarily accommodating, and willing to provide a detailed account of problem and solution. He literally saved our vacation as well as saving us the expense of having to arrange to have the trailer towed home. He is such a super find that we will be changing our normal auto care to him despite it being a 30-minute drive for us.Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

I have used Joe's Garage for over 15 Years servicing my fleet of diesel trucks and vans. He is a very trustworthy guy and his knowledge of vehicles is unbelievable. Joe personally works on a lot of the jobs in the shop so you can be sure your vehicle will be fixed right. I would highly recommend.

Great experience. Very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the problem, (BMW 325 emissions leak) and provided guidance given the car is 1 year from it requiring emissions. I had the problem fixed and the price was very fair. Hidden gem, not too many garages around anymore that aren t trying to drain your wallet unnecessarily. They have all my business, thanks JoeServices: Auto engine diagnostic, Vehicle Inspection, Auto maintenance

Genuine mechanic. Upfront about cost. Charges a fair rate. Communicates clearly when vehicle will be done and exceeds that timeline. I have not a this type of experience with a shop working on my diesel in years. Grateful

I was visiting the Cary area from out-of-state for a few months during the pandemic, driving an early 90s Japanese car that was never sold in the US. My car developed a weird vibration that I didn't have access to tools to diagnose myself, so I posted on a local FB group asking for a shop. One of Joe's friends reached out to me directly to recommend this low-key gem and I'm so glad that he did! Joe figured out the issue within a few minutes & demonstrated it to me. Not only that, he immediately eyeballed the faulty part as one shared with another car by the same manufacturer in the US. Turns out he was right! That made finding the new part super easy. But even better, Joe is cool AF and his integrity was immediately obvious.

I've taken several cars to Joe over the years. He's a nice guy and a straight shooter with a massive amount of varied experience on all types of cars and trucks. The only downside is that too many people have found him and Annette and it takes a couple days to get an appointment.!

I have been using the services at Joe's Garage (formerly Poe's Garage) for several years now. As a transient (yes, I'm a yankee) I always have difficulty finding good people to care for my needs. Joe and Annette are two of the finest people to work with. They are knowledgeable, hard working, honest and, above all, fair. You will never need to look for another auto mechanic.....NEVER. I only wish I had met them sooner.

Friendly service. Love that the owner, Joe, is there and working. If you are looking for a fair garage to repair your car, this is it. Almost don't want the secret to get out.

I have give a shout out to Tom. I stopped in and talked to him about a problem I was having with my 1998 Corvette. He knew exactly what was going on from what I described and helped me understand how to fix it. I will definitely be using him for the next job that I can't do myself!.

They are professional and easy to work with. They called me and told me what and how much the repair would be and then called again in a few hours to say the repair was completed. Great guys there

Every time I pick up whatever I dropped off for repair, I am always confident that Joe fixed it properly. I wish cloning was a reality. The world needs more Joe's.

Excellent shop. Quality diagnostics, quality mechanic. Old school in that they figure out what the problem actually is and fix it. They aren't interested in just trying to upsell you on a bunch of wacko radiator flushes or other things you don't need.
