While up in the 4X4 area north of Corolla looking for the horses, we ran our Blazer thru some deep water and stalled the engine. After getting pulled out and towed to Pughs, we were told the engine had taken in water and locked up. We then contacted our insurance carrier, which worker with Pugh's in having our motor replaced. The guys at Pugh's had a new motor installed in no time and we finished our vacation without any more porblems.

Down on the OBX for a week and on day four,our Jeep fails to start. After trying to jump it with no luck, we asked a local while eating out where to go. Several of them at the table suggest Pughs Car Care. We gave them a call after walking back to the cottage and within 20 mintues, they arrived to tow us in. Later in the afternoon, we received a call from Ray telling us that a wire in the key switch had broken causing the problem and they would have the Jeep ready before 12 the next day. They called us Friday morning around 11 and told us we were ready to go. When we got our final bill, we were surprised. We expected a much higher bill, but instead it was very reasonable, plus received outstanding service. Pugh's will be our go to place on the OBX.

I have a vacation house in Nags Head and every summer something goes wrong with one of our vehicles. As luck would have it , we decided to leave a day early, but the Tahoe wont start. Thinking I have a bad starter, I call Pughs and the come tow it in. In about two hours they call me and say I have a bad key switch and can fix it that day. Several hours go by and I get a call telling me its ready. When I get there, the bill was less than I was quoted. Fixed the same day and less money. It was a win-win. The crew a Pughs have always come thru for me.

The place is great. Was on vacation and had a very low rear tire on my van. This was the day after Memorial Day so they were very busy. I had no appointment...just drove in. They checked my tire, showed me the piece of metal that pierced it and fixed the tire ... all within 30-40 minutes. And for a price that was waaaay reasonable. They could have easily ripped me off but they treated me like I was a longtime valued customer. Great to know that not everybody is just out to make a quick buck off a Missouri tourist. Hope you don't have trouble on the OUteer Banks, but if you do try these guys first!

My company has 6 trucks & 2 cars that Pughs has maintained for the past eight years. Ray and his staff have always gone above what I expected out of a repair shop. Their prices are fair and the service is second to none. We tried a few other shops when we first started up, but once we went to Pugh's, we never left.
