I highly recommend this locally owned family business that provides great customer service. I've been using the shop for the past 3 years for routine repairs and maintenance stuff on my family's 3 vehicles. They stay very busy so I would recommend that you schedule an appointment prior to showing up. If you reside or work close by...they're willing to drop you off as well. The technicians are highly trained and certified. The owner is always friendly and helpful at all times. I always get a cost estimate before proceeding, so that I don't get any surprises when it's billing time. In a great location close near by the Lexington SC VFW building and right off Sunset Blvd.

I am a regular customer of Race Automotive due to their honesty, excellent workmanship and fair pricing. Ernie and his mechanics are top notch and very thorough. They pick up on small problems before they become expensive repairs. My 2010 Camry had a number of issues that needed to be addressed and after repairs were made, the car is running like new. I also recently had some work done on my 2004 Corolla with 220,000 miles on it. It too is now running like new again. I wouldn't consider taking my cars anywhere else for repairs and/or routine maintenance. If you give these folks a try, I think you'll be very pleased.

Ernie is a really nice guy. They had my van from Tuesday till the next week on Thursday. For they the first 2 days my van wasn't touch. I understand people get busy but lack of communication is where they lack. That's my only issue with this business. LACK OF COMMINICATION. My van drives great. I can really tell the difference in my front end. I do have some other issues I want taken care of on my van and I will take it back to Race Automovitve.

I'm a  repeat customer at Race Automotive. We brought another one of our cars in for an inspection and repairs recently.  Ernie always explains what needs to be done and why. He and his staff are always very thorough in going over the car. They are committed to excellence in workmanship and insuring customer satisfaction. I can't praise them highly enough and will continue to bring my vehicles back to Race Automotive whenever they need to be serviced. I highly recommend them for any kind of automotive work. They also offer a  10% discount to Angie's List members.

This is the second time I've used RACE Automotive for repairs to my car. Ernie, the owner is very knowledgeable and great to deal with. The quality of the repairs has been excellent. I've been very satisfied and plan to keep taking my car to RACE Automotive in the future. I've recommended them to all of my friends.

It went great.  I have used Race multiple times.  The first few times I used them they had me car done by the next day.  This last time was not so good.  My car has been there two weeks and nothing has been done.  I've called multiple times and the communication has been lacking.  They are not normally like this though.  I think with it being Christmas has slowed things down.  Still, better communication would be nice.  I might update my review in the future if I use them again.

I hit a discarded tire while boxed in on the interstate, leaving black streaks on the fender of my brand new car that would not wash off. I went to Race Automotive for an estimate. However, they removed the streaks immediately and declined to charge me.

After the mechanics that I had used for the past 40 years recently retired, I was in search of a new auto repair shop that could continue to maintain my 10 year old Toyota Corolla. The first place I looked was Angie's list. Race Automotive clearly stood out as the place to go due to their numerous A ratings. Their ratings are well deserved. Ernie, the owner, really impressed me due to his honesty, extensive automotive knowledge, and his thoroughness in explaining everything. I felt he provided excellent customer service.  I will definitely be taking my cars to Ernie whenever they need service/repairs. Check him out. I think you'll be as pleased and satisfied as I was.

"Thank You for your review. Though it isn't as good as we hold our standards to you must keep in mind as you stated the vehicle has had different shops attempt to repair your vehicle with resounding failure and we repaired it correctly. Some vehicles take a little longer to repair than others and the older they are the less diagnostics are available thus the longer it may take. Thank you again for letting R.A.C.E. Automotive LLC assist you in your automotive repair needs."

We absolutely love him. He’s a wonderful guy. He’s very honest and trustworthy. He’s a great guy. From the first time I met him, he’s shot us straight. He’s no BS. He’s very pleasant, very nice to deal with, and very honest like he’ll call you before he does everything. If you ever had any issues with your car you have to go and see him.

"Thank you for your recommendation. We at R.A.C.E. Automotive LLC pride ourselves as being the best repair facility available with fair prices and the best warranty around with the utmost in professional repair. We as well as every reputable repair facility use a guide that is industry standard in determining the correct time for a repair. That guide is updated very quarter. The guide is there to protect the consumer as well as the repair facility. Lets for instance say a particular job calls for 8 hours ( as plenty of heater core repairs call for ) and it in reality takes 10 hours ( as well as many heater core jobs take ) do you want the repair facility to charge you more than the required 8 hours? NO, no one would. Hence the Mitchell or Alldata Labor Time Guide will state in all fairness the industry standard time for repair to which all is charged. Unlike the dealerships and most every Repair Facility on all three of your invoices Diagnosis Time is not charged.On one invoice there is a free repair on the vehicles vents as well. Not to mention we give a detailed and extremely accurate repair estimate prior to repair. Now, as for the part pricing we never charge list and all part numbers are listed as well.For instance,on part #704844 list is $103.02 you were charged $65.59, #AC1 list is $36.88 you were charged $29.99, #3082 list $258.99 you were charged $186.56, #232691 list is $158.58 you were charged #133.92, #K060882 list is $70.49 you were charged $47.24, #3459 list is $5.19 you were charged $4.13, #579204list is $64.58 you were charged $51.98. If you look on your invoice #14043 top middle the Ref# is what you were quoted for the repair and agreed to. The authorized amount for repair was $702.39, your actual invoice was $611.07. That is $91.32 BELOW the authorized amount. Invoice #14066 you authorized $571.99 your invoice amount was $488.87. That's $83.12 BELOW the authorized amount. So, in closing I hope that this will bring light to the issue that you thought that you had and now can see that you as well as all of our customers are most important to us and we will give everyone as much as possible to make there experience with R.A.C.E. Automotive LLC as pleasant as possible and we greatly appreciate each and every customer. Thank You."

They were very reasonable. They did a great job, thourough and explained everything.  I am more than pleased.  I would absolutely continue to use them.  There were a lot of issues that they found and kept the parts to show me.  He called me at each stage that he found something.  The truck runs like a brand new vehicle. It is all due to Ernie and I am proud to have done business with him. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone that said they have mechanical issues.
