Updating this review to reflect workmanship. This is hands down the shop you need to take your car to. I have had a terrible issue with my vehicle for the year I have owned it that many other shops were unable to figure out. Vadim was able to solve this issue and many others with my classic Audi that other shops had no idea how to solve and threw solutions at it that did not work. They fixed this in such a short timeline too. I will bring every vehicle I own to this shop as long as they are in the area, and highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Vladim and his team at Automotive PhD . I own a 2007 Maserati Quattroporte. I was told by more than one automotive shop that I had to take my car to a Maserati dealership. The closest two are in Raleigh and Charleston. Then someone recommended Vladim. I took my car there and it was fixed for under $250. I was told there was no aftermarket radio that I could install. Vladimir informed me that was not the case. Automotive PhD is now my go-to establishment for automotive repairs.

Thanks for the great work. They changed the transmission oil, and the guys also installed and set up my tire pressure sensors. Everything works perfectly, and the transmission shifts noticeably better now. Excellent service, fast and professional

THESE GUYS ARE GREAT! THEY DIAGNOSED AND FIXED A PROBLEM ON MY 2003 S55 AMG AFTER I TOOK IT TO 2 OTHER SHOPS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDNT FIX IT. THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM FIXED IT PERFECT AND FIXED ANOTHER ISSUE I HAD ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT I EXPECTED. I WILL BE TAKING ALL MY VEHICLES THERE FROM NOW ON.

Vadim is the best mechanic I’ve had the pleasure to do business with in a long time. When I bought my car to him to fix, the engine was not even in it. He took on the challenge of not only fixing the car, but also finishing someone else’s sloppy work. He replaced everything that needed fixing, added some high performance parts, and even sent the car to the paint shop for repairs. I would recommend him and his shop to anyone without a question. If you’re considering having some work done on your vehicle, don’t hesitate to call Vadim. He’s an amazing mechanic and even better person to do business with.

I can't recommend this place enough. Very knowledgeable and extremely professional. They provided pictures of the process and even videos. This is more than I ever expected. Besides doing top notch work they literally saved me over $3000 while doing additional work compared to another shop. They don't charge extra for replacing parts that are in the way of doing other work if that makes sense. I have found my new mechanic I'll be bringing everything here now. Vadim is a great guy and they even work on Saturdays. You don't find many people that do business like this. They are building relationships rather than trying to maximize profit on a one and done customer. I also recommended a friend of a friend take his Porsche there for brakes. He said the great work and great price.

Automotive PhD is a great place to take your Mercedes Benz for honest, reliable and friendly service! Vadim communicates frequently, answers all questions and stands by his estimates and service. I won’t be taking my car anywhere else!

Honest and great communication. I have an Audi and I felt that they cared about my car. They checked everything thoroughly and only did what needed to be done. They responded quickly and my car was serviced fast and ready when promised. I would highly recommend this business.

Best repair shop in town. I trust them completely and wouldn’t take my car anywhere else. They give honest diagnostics, fix issues quickly, and charge fair, reasonable prices without ever overcharging. Always professional, always on time, highly recommended.

Vadim did an excellent job on my oil change and leak that my car had. Upon finding I had a leak during my routine oil change, he was able to order the parts and get me back in within 2 days to fix my car. To top it all off, he gave me a ride home and picked me up because my house was close to the shop. Talk about service! I’m happy I have found my new mechanic in Myrtle Beach.

My Mini was displaying a check engine light and I didn’t want to take her to just anyone and I never had to take her to a mechanic before. A friend of mine, who I trust very much, takes his BMW to Automotive PhD so I agreed I would give them a try. I have nothing but good things to say. They explained everything they would do/ check from start to finish. I left my car there and turns out they needed to order a specific part to replace. They kept me updated every day until the part came, and when i picked her up, took even more time to explain additional things to me about my car that will help be useful to me for the future. I didn’t feel like a burden with my questions, and I felt as though they truly appreciated my business and on top of that their prices are EXTREMELY fair. They will be who I bring my Mini too from now on. I highly recommend checking them out , especially if you have a foreign made car.

Vadim and his team went above and beyond to help me get my car running again! They explained everything clearly, gave me options, and made sure I was taken care of. It’s hard to find good, honest mechanics these days, but this shop truly stands out!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Automotive PH.D. The team here is simply amazing — professional, honest, and truly know what they’re doing. In Myrtle Beach, it’s not easy to find such skilled specialists, and I’m really glad I found them. They took great care of my car and explained everything clearly without trying to upsell unnecessary work. It feels good knowing there’s a shop in town you can actually trust. Highly recommend Automotive PH.D to anyone looking for real experts who genuinely care about their customers.
