I have used R & D (Linwood Robinson) and his services for years now. His whole family is amazing and has always given us good advice on what to do with our vehicles. He has never "over-serviced" our vehicles. I was raised in a home with a father who owned a Chrysler dealership in Minnesota. He was known for his honesty and integrity and Linwood reminds me of father in that respect.On May 13th 2023, a driver forced my wife off the road into a pole in Fort Mill, SC totaling her car. Linwood dropped everything and arrived at the accident scene moments after I did. He hooked up the car, pulled it onto the trailer and off he went. So quick and easy.I am not trying to create an ad for this business, I'm just letting you all know that my experience has been wonderful during a time which can be quite stressful.Thanks again,Craig and Jacqueline LeisServices: Auto body & trim repair, Tires, Auto battery replacement, General repairs & maintenance, Auto brake repair, Tire rotations, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Auto battery maintenance, Auto tire replacement, Auto maintenance, Oil change

Great towing experience. Unlike my last tow, they actually showed up. Not a long wait time either. Used to it taking 2 hours, guy got to me in 40mins! HIGHLY RECCOMEND

Used this business for a tow of a car to dealership. Called them because we needed a receipt of tow for refund. We were not given one at time of pickup. This conversation started with me being polite and asking. He told me he didn t have to provide a receipt he was third party and I didn t run his business he did - right at the beginning he started being extremely rude. I explained we should have received a hard copy when the driver picked up the vehicle and he said he wasn t dealing with me and hung up. Very unprofessional and sorry attitude

Horrible business. Went in with one problem. They "diagnose" and run up a $1200 bill. I pay them. Less than a week later, my car is still having the same issue. Try to bring it back and they completely ghost me. Never answers calls/texts and never call back. Please go elsewhere if you don't want to lose over a grand.

Terrible experience, took him 3 weeks to still not figure out the problem, told me the head gasket was blown just to not have to do anything to the car, ran worse when I picked it up then when I took it there, took the car to a real shop and it was a heater coil and water pump impeller. Don t waste your time. AWFUL SERVICEService: Auto engine diagnosticService: Auto engine diagnostic

Wasn't able to get my car due to it costing way too much and way more than I paid for it to begin with but I was able to get all my belongings out of it and I was very grateful for that.

These guys are complete ***holes. Was visiting a friend s house nearby their shop and parked across the street from their location momentarily while waiting for my friend. The owner and another individual crossed the street to approach me and said even though I wasn t on their property that I needed to leave and tried to threaten me. He was red faced and visibly angry for absolutely no reason, so I calmly explained I wasn t on or near their property, and then he got closer and said I was being combative and demanded I leave now . Pretty pathetic for a grown man, and definitely explains all of the bad experiences others have had with them. Zero character and a total lack of professionalism.

Can t tell you how doubtful I ve been at mechanics I ve been to before, that is until I found this one! Family owned, fair, and honest people. We ve used them multiple times and every time I m so surprised and the prices they charge, the incredible quality of work, the speed at which they get the work done, and the communication of what the are doing and what our car needs.Thank you guys!

Sometimes life can throw you a curveball and when you are in need of help it s great to know locally owned family businesses like R&D Automotive and wrecking are around to help. I always enjoyed seeing their colorful trucks and fun tagline they created which always made me smile but finally when the need came about I had the opportunity to meet them and was greeted with very friendly wonderful customer service and would recommend them to anyone!

This local wrecker & garage business is owned by a caring family whose goal is to see, not only your satisfaction for the job at hand, but also to develop a lasting relationship.Since using Linwood for my car repairs, I feel like I've got an emergency wrecker service in my back pocket. The man will go through so much inconvenience to do good by you. I really trust the guy.

The vehicle was brought in with brakes turning red . This clown determines it is the radiator . Changes and Releases the car and the brakes turn red again . Master cylinder . Does that work and Get the vehicle back and literally 3 hours later the check engine light comes on . Oil pump code . After multiple defective parts and installing a pulley that is smaller and throws the timing chain off and cracks the pulley . The vehicle is still not fixed 4 weeks later . We try and remove the vehicle after hearing references from the owner to using google and going to get on the big computer because the job is obviously over their head . We have to call the police after the owner yells at my wife because we are frustrated 4 weeks later . This guy holds our vehicle hostage and we are forced to pay him $1654 which the police tell us is our only choice to release it . Now we will be contacting a lawyer and will be getting our money back eventually . This guy or his son are not skilled to work newer model cars and in his own words is just now starting to see these models come in . We also got another similiqr story about this place from another mechanic.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Called this place on New Year's day, I had blown a tire on New Year's Eve. Spoke to the owner, I needed mobile service, he explained it was a $200 charge just to come out for holiday charge. Okay, have him the size tire, he said he'd go check at his shop and call me back. Never received a call back. Very unprofessional.

When my car had gone off the road to avoid someone else in the middle of the night they came right out to get me. Despite it seemed forever I waited less then 30 minutes for them. Very professional people to have service. I am 1 happy camper with them.

These drivers speed on Calvin hall continuously leaving it an unsafe environment for children and pets. Total disregard for homeowners. We'll be reporting to the sheriff if this is not resolved immediately.

Best towing service ever! He also changed my battery after towing it! The best service I could ever ask for. Can't thank Linwood enough for taking such good care of me.

There was a mix up with insurance and my car was sent to the wrong place. When we contacted R&D the man was rude and did not give me the exact location of my car. A few minutes later some woman from R&D yelling at me and hung up when I tried to get a word in. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. DO NOT USE!

Next time one of your truck drivers gets out of his car at a stop light and talks trash to random drivers, don t be surprised if he gets punched. Super unprofessional.
