Start here if you are in the James Island/Charleston area and need peace of mind for repairs. I was in Charleston with my parents and middle son visiting our eldest son, a cadet at The Citadel. After driving from Atlanta on a Friday, we had a number of activities that ended with an evening grocery run. Went to the parking lot, where our 2005 Honda minivan suddenly sputtered and coughed when trying to start. Saturday morning early, I was able to get it started and drive in search of a place to help. I had seen reviews of Folly Road Auto Repair and pulled in around 7:45AM. I found Joey and explained the problems I had. He had a dozen employees in camo; as I was leaving after he told me they would take care of it, I found out that in fact they were closed. His crew was clearing a lot next door as they plan an expansion. By noon, a new radiator was replaced. Joeys brother Daniel took care of the repairs personally. To be able to make these repairs quickly and effectively while taking the time to explain everything would garner a 5-star rating. To help someone when the store is closed and everyone is working their tails off clearing trees and brush? Well, you rarely see that anywhere. Good luck to Joey, Daniel, and all the staff at Folly Road Auto Repair.

Traveled from Massachusetts for vacation on Kiawah Island, S.C. Heard noise like scraping under right wheel tire. Tried to go to Toyota and Pep Boys, not knowing where else to go. We could see what we thought was the problem (a piece of rubber with a screw attached) however both those places insisted they could not look and we needed an appointment for the following week. We were heading back home and obviously nervous to drive until we were sure of problem. Looked on Internet and found Folly Rd Auto Repair, which fortunately was not too far from where we were staying. Pulled in, gentleman came out immediately , looked under the car, got a screw driver and removed a piece of mud flap that had partially broken off. 5 minutes and no charge. Thank you. I am sorry I did not get the repairmans name .Hopefully we will not ever need his services and he knew that. I would highly recommend this repair shop to anyone in this area.

Excellent service. In August I had 14 girls with me in a 15 passenger van for a 9 1/2 hour ride from MD to Folly (bachelorette weekend) and the AC was dying. I called the shop early Friday morning after we arrived in Folly and asked if there was any way that someone could look at the AC and get it fixed. They said "sure" ... bring it on in as soon as you can. We arrived at the shop (which was very busy) and they immediately pulled the van up to one of the bays and started looking at it. He was able to tell that there was a leak in the AC system but said that he would charge it up and it would probably last me for the rest of the summer. They knew I was from out of town and they did exactly what I had asked them to do... make it so we could get home comfortably. Awesome service on short notice and reasonably priced!

Great reliable service. Quality work. Friendly, honest, will not return ur vehicle till they feel it is up to standards. Great pricing and reasonable. My husbands C1500 truck I thought there was no hope after 2 other shops. But Joey and his crew brought it back to life. He would not return it to us until he felt it was right. Just Wednesday I called him about my GMC Terrain told him I had purchased the part and what I was told was wrong. Going from a 1500 Dollar repair to less that 400. That is a company that cars about people. His father was the same way to My parents when I was young. I would give them a 5 star anyday. Try Folly Road Auto u will leave with a great smile and money in your pocket. Thank you Joey a d your team. Fabulous work. God Bless You All. The Mack Family.

Absolutely wonderful service. Had a fantastic experience with Joey and his crew. Had driven down to Charleston for the day. Our first stop was Folly Beach. Our Excursion broke down. I Google searched for a local mechanic and saw all the good reviews for this shop. Had our vehicle towed to them. He told me that he thought it was a fuel pump and quoted me a price. Understanding that I really didnt have a choice I told him to fix it. I was curious so I called my mechanic back home to see if the price was fair. Folly Road Auto Repair was actually a good bit less expensive than I was quoted by my mechanic back home. Within a few hours he had is fixed and back on the road. You will not be disappointed with the shop.

Excellent service. Very timely with their repairs and shared knowledge on future issues that may arise with this vehicle. I took my truck in for a diagnosis and oil change and he shared, very professionally, what condition my vehicle was in and that I should not waste much money on it as it was at the end of its life instead of trying to sell me things I didnt need. Would recommend if you are worried about a shop taking advantage of you because they wont.

Joey and his staff are excellent and trustworthy. He will be honest with you about what you do and dont need. His pricing is affordable and they do great work. They provide the best auto repair experience Ive had to date in Charleston and Ive lived here for 10 years or so. Id add a sixth star, but there is not an option for that! Trust them with your business.

Joey you excel in customer service! Thank you kindly for taking good care of my 1999 Yukon GMC and coming to get me whenever needed so that I dont have to walk/jog in 90 degree Charleston heat. It is extremely comforting knowing that when I need repairs I have yall to go to and can count on knowledgeable and honest answers!

Quick turnaround, really affordable pricing, reliable service, polite staff and I felt like they wanted to offer good service. I had a 2004 Mustang GT with clutch and window work, and I couldnt be happier.
