Brake repair service near Columbus, NC

While in Hendersonville getting my mother's old house ready for sale, I needed the above-listed services. They were most professional and knowledgeable about my repairs and performed them flawlessly and delivered my vehicle to me on time, as promised. I live in Florida, but I can still highly recommend EuroTechnik to anyone owning a foreign car.

I am so happy to have found Petty's Automotive! They were recommended by another shop because not everyone can or will work on a '93 Volvo 940. They correctly diagnosed and fixed the problem I had and now my car is back in business! These people are real MECHANICS, not just TECHNICIANS. Many thanks to Petty's! Cythia Lewis-Hart

Always great work performed, and the staff is professional and honest.

Very professional, no hard sales tactics which was refreshing!

Family owned and operated since 1979. One of the few businesses left in town where you are greeted by an owner and not an employee. We have two ASE master techs who can do all repairs on all makes and models. From 3k oil services and wiper blades to engine and transmission replacements, we got you covered.

First the quote of 450.00 was a lot steeper than before, but since he was local I gave him the job. Upon pickup of the vehicle a quick inspection I instantly noticed the mufflers were interfering parking brake cables. I was told this was "normal". It is not as the movement will either wear out the cables or cut a hole into the mufflers. I was then told it was my fault as I wanted "quiet mufflers". After a bit they finally fixed the problem. On to round two, once I had left the shop I notice there was now a large flat spot in the throttle from tip-in to 1/4 throttle. Looking closely to my other truck I notice that the new exhaust was much larger in size from front to rear. This does have an affect upon the operation of an engine. My case with a stock engine used in daily driving the large exhaust was a determinant to driveability. I was told he was not going to do anything & that I was an "idiot". So why is a too large exhaust system a problem you ask. It has to with velocity of exhaust gases in the system. The smaller the pipe the higher the velocity. This in turn with the pluses from the firing order create a vacuum effect behind the exhaust pulse that helps remove exhaust gases from the cylinder. With the vacuum effect the cylinder is ready for a fresh & FULL charge of air & fuel mixture. When a too large exhaust pipe is installed the velocity is effected & reduces the vacuum effect on the cylinder. This too large of an exhaust system installed into my ride is effectually leaving exhaust gases in the cylinder past the exhaust phase. This in end robs power & torque on the low end of the rpm scale due to a NOT complete charge of & air and fuel due to spent gases taking up the volume. There are many engineers who work hard at this at the factory to get the size correct. Mine was 1 & 7/8 inch internal diameter and not the 2 & 1/8 inch that Jim's installed. I would say with the attitude I got from Jim he fancies himself to be better than the trained engineers.

As a one time customer...they're a couple of snobs who provide horrible service. Much better shops out there. Would not recommend.

Great service as always!
