Ok let me tell you about beyond customer service. I called them and told them about a check engine light problem. Not only did they pick my car up for free they also delivered the car back without charging me!!! I had no way to get the car there because I work. I've taken a few cars there for repairs and won't go anywhere else!!!! If you want your car fixed right then go to dolphin automotive!!!!!

This is my first experience with Dolphin Auto and so far I've been very happy with them. They may not have been able to give me good news but they are doing everything they can to help me right now. Right now, I'd say I've found the shop I will be entrusting my future maintenance needs to.

Excellent service. Best price in town. Had the ball joints and brakes etc. replaced on my 2012 Silverado after a collision. She was in bad shape! Truck toed in by Halls. Adrian and his crew did a great job. They look and feel perfect- Plus what a huge help everyone was with my also amazing Geico insurance adjuster Felecia. (All of this is very strange to say!) Post care instructions. 1 year warranty. Realistic expectations. Money, time, communication. Dolphin knocked it out of the park! Thank you guys. New lifetime customer.

Dylan was professional and knowledgeable. Another local repair shop could not fix my engine overheating problem, so I brought my SUV to Dolphins. Dylan diagnosed my water pump/ belt issues and had my vehicle repaired and returned to me by the end of same day. Will definitely return here for all my car needs.

My AC was malfunctioning and I couldn't get anyone to even answer the phone to look at it...stopped by to see these folks on the recommendation of the parts store...the gentleman knew immediately what was wrong with my car's ac and 40 minutes later i was on my way with working AC. Great folks. Good service Thank you.

Dylan was great and really professional. He was able to get me in same day and had my car ready within 24 hours. Other shops were quoting me 2 - 3 weeks before they could even look at my car. Really happy with my experience and will most definitely use this shop in the future.

although Adrian was not able to repair our transmission because it had something to do with the differential, he did refer us to someone else in South Asheville. he was very professional, courteous, and it is obvious that he's had a lot of transmission experience and a lot of dealing with the general public. and although he spent some time diagnosing our problem with our 2010 Ford Fusion, he did not charge a diagnostic fee. he also answered the phone which is something which is evaporating in today's business culture

We had an issue with our brakes while visiting from out of town, and the guys at Dolphin automotive were incredibly thoughtful about squeezing us in the day of our need. Plus they so kindly made arrangements for us to spend the day in a nearby town so we and the kids did not have to sit and wait. We were touched by their Southern kindness and would recommend this place to anyone!

These guys are so kind and were able to squeeze me in same day. They all answered any questions I had and showed me what was going on each step of the way. Being a younger girl I?m always worried I?ll be ripped off but these fellas are legit. My new mechanics as long as I am here!

These guys are great. They were hired for what seemed like a minor problem, but could see that it was larger. Called, explained, got permission, and did the work quickly and well, for a reasonable price. I've used them forc15+ years and have no regrets.

We were visiting the area from out of state. A couple of dash lights came on and I wanted to be sure we were safe on the steep mountain roads. The only issue was a faulty gas cap, for which they charged $30. If I?d been home, I would have expected to pay double that just to have the codes read. Honest, friendly and timely. I?d definitely recommend Dolphin.

Really stand up guys! Came in to have my daughter's first car examined for potential repairs and not only did I get an outstanding price, I also got some vital tips about ordering parts that saves me a TON! The customer service was top notch and I will ABSOLUTELY be back!! Good mechanics are hard to come by these days. So I'm excited I've found these fellas ?

It can be so overwhelming or even intimidating to choose the right person to fix your car. Whether you baby your car (like me who named her Sylvia the Silver Subaru) or simply see it as a way to get from point A to point B. You read all the reviews and still have trouble deciding! Especially when you see some reviews that don?t paint the prettiest picture. It?s important to carefully read them all. You?re no dummy. You can tell when someone just had a bad day and is looking for an outlet. You can also tell when someone is genuinely pleased. I?m of the latter category (thankfully!) Alas, I?m getting off topic! I?ve known the owner, Steve, for over 25 years, but that's not the reason I keep coming back. Sure, I enjoy our delightful banter and updating him about how my folks are doing. I also enjoy hearing about his family and exchanging recipes with his wife. That's not why I've brought every single car I've owned to Steve, the owner of Dolphin Auto (even back when he was still working for another shop.) I bring my cars to Steve because my Dad brought his cars to Steve. I bring my cars to Steve because I TRUST him implicitly. I'm not totally devoid of mechanical know-how when it comes to my vehicles. I've been changing the oil and working on my motorcycles my whole life. I do the research and know what's what when it comes to the work I need done. I prefer to bring my cars to Steve because I don't like crawling under them anymore. I bring my cars to Steve because he?s a decent man who?s never steered me wrong. I bring my cars to Steve because if my Dad says to trust him, then I don?t need to look elsewhere. Through the years, I?ve had every kind of car crisis you can imagine. And every time, I call Steve up and explain in excruciating detail what the noise is or what the service manual says. He ALWAYS takes the time to walk me through his recommendations. He searches far and wide for the best part within my budget. He gives me all the details that I need to be able to make an informed decision. Then he supervises the work and drives the car afterward to make sure everything feels right. He?s even driven me home and picked me back up when my car was ready! (I can?t promise that for you though?maybe that?s a perk of knowing him for two and a half decades?) At this point, you probably forgot I was talking about a mechanic! He?s not just a mechanic, he?s more than that. Steve is a consummate automotive professional who happens to work with differentials, head gaskets, and wires. He's also a dear family friend. And, he offers a 12-month, nationwide warranty! Not because you?ll need it, but because he knows it?ll give you peace of mind as you embark on your next great adventure. Whether it?s just driving to work knowing you?ll arrive safely on a cold winter morning, or heading out on a cross-country road trip to see the amber waves of grain. Just like with every lasting relationship with someone who provides such a critical service for you, begin with a conversation. Give him a call and tell him D sent you. See if it?s a good fit. I?m not going to promise you?ll be a match made in heaven. But I will tell you that you?ll be treated fairly and with respect, whether you speak with Steve or his wife, Michelle. Imagine the relief of knowing who to turn to whenever there?s an issue with Sylvia, or Roxy, or Hopper, or Stella, or Landy, or Ol? Bluefus?(I name all my cars and Steve has known them all!) If it feels right, you?ve just made a step in the right direction. And you have one less thing to worry about in this crazy world!

I have jus picked up my dear old volvo wagon which had major surgery (head gasket, timing belt and water pump too) and they were great. Not many places would take on this mega project and with enthusiam (ha) Bessie is ticking over nicely it seems, so far so good. They were fast, professional, kept me informed of what was going on, and the price was really really good. Wicked sense of humour too . Fully recommend.

Great experience here. My truck made a very sudden grinding noise with the brakes at 11 am this morning. I called multiple auto repair shops in Black Mountain, and Michelle said I could bring in the truck now. I needed it to return to Florida this evening. Steve offered me the use of his Jeep to pick my son up while they did diagnostics--turned out the calipers locked up. I dropped off the car around noon and had it back by 3:30. Very happy so far. Michelle knew I was returning to Florida and included the brake warranty with my paperwork with an 1-800 number to call if there are any issues. I would go back if I had to. I would use them if I lived locally. Thanks guys.
