Where to begin! Having a 30 year old car, I'm always searching for competent mechanics when some of those "weird" issues pop up. To my surprise, I found Kris at Tech 9 automotive. Turns out, he used to be located on Florida and has since moved to a shop in Gastonia. After checking his website out and some of his reviews, seemed like he specialized in "exotic" or higher end cars, and I've got a 2 door Tahoe. Figured it was worth a shot so I called him up and even though it was after hours and he was out of town on a personal trip, he immediately started talking to me about the potential problem and said he'd love to take a look at it. Fast forward to today and Kris called me every step of the way, and even did more diagnostic work that my paranoid self requested. More than fair prices and I'm excited to work together in the future for a few more nagging issues with my truck. He is a very personable and nice man and I couldn't speak more highly of him. Don't hesitate to reach out to him for all your needs!

Did a great job on my 2011 Ford Mustang Gt Premium. Rides a whole lot better and will definitely use again. Thank you very much Kris!

Chris is just the best! A dealer quoted me almost $20K for some work that was "needed" on my BMW 4 series. He diagnosed the car and told me exactly what needed to be repaired. I ended up paying less than 1/4 of the price the dealer gave me. He is honest, hard working and gets the job done. I feel safe leaving my car with him, not like the dealer where they always find something wrong. He has worked on other cars that I had and did a fantastic job. Like I said, Chris at Tech9 is just the best. Thank you for taking amazing care of me and my family!!!

Took in my c6 with a destroyed torque tube. Kris is is very communicative, and does very quality work at a fair price. I know a lot of corvette shops have gone away recently. I would not hesitate to give him a call if you need some work done

The VERY best mechanic I’ve ever taken my cars to, period! I’ve known The owner Kris for over 38 years , and am proud to be his best friend. Kris has been working on cars since his early teens, including but not limited to all my Porsches, Jaguars, and Maseratis I’ve owned over the years. He has extensive education and knowledge of all types of vehicles. He does fantastic work and has never missed a beat on any cars. Kris is a kind hearted soul and it is safe to say that he would give you the shirt off his back if needed. Trust me when I say he will give your car the best possible service at the lowest rate. 5 stars for sure!!!!!

Had a fantastic first experience with Kris doing some needed maintenance on my 718 Cayman. He certainly knows his craft, gave me high-confidence in his abilities, and unbeatable pricing (< 1/2 of what another shop was going to charge!). He's my new "guy", and will be bringing my car to him for all future work!

I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my C6. Kris is experienced, professional, honest and patient. Treats everyone’s car as if they were his and spends time to ensure you’re getting the best service possible. Thank you Kris!!

I had Kris install an engine lighting kit (OEM) in my 2023 Corvette Stingray. Simply put, the work was AMAZING! The installation required quite a bit of interior disassembly and replacement of wiring harnesses. Kris’ attention to detail and meticulous care he took of my vehicle was beyond impressive. He took the time to do it right and treated my car as if it were his own. To say I’m pleased with his work is an understatement. Throughout the installation process he communicated with me through pics and texts, honored his quote and never cut corners. He ensured the work was done correctly and that the vehicle was returned to me in a condition better than I left it. I will definitely be using Tech9 Automotive for future work on my car.

Kris is the real deal. Believe the hype. It's tough to find a reliable, responsive (always answered my phone calls), honest (will let you know when he can deliver), and personable mechanic. I was so relieved when he diagnosed and fixed my small evap vacuum leak in only a few hours and at a great price. Kris is my mechanic now.

I had the opportunity to utilize tech 9 automotive repair this past week. Kris is an honesty mechanic that is very knowledgeable about all foreign and domestic vehicles. I usually hate dealing most auto mechanic, because of the up selling or miss diagnosing of your vehicle. Kris repaired my vehicle with great care. Kris provide me with an honest price, which was great. If your looking for an honest great mechanic, please give Tech9 Automotive a try. I give Tech 9 Automotive 2 thumbs up 👍👍!!!!

My 4Runners serpentine belt shredded off on my way home from work on a Friday night. I had it towed to a “dealership” in the evening where I’ve had it serviced for 6 years. The next day I was not satisfied with their outrageous estimate. I called Kris at Tech-9 who I used previously to do a pre purchase inspection on another vehicle. He had Tows R Us tow it to his shop that same afternoon. He received the vehicle and confirmed that the 4Runner indeed needed a new belt. Two days later on Monday he told me the vehicle was ready… and for a fraction of the estimate from the “dealership”. Communication with Kris was very clear. He hooked me up with a great tow company. Once I spoke with Kris I felt confident in my decision to use his services. Going forward, I plan to have my 4Runner serviced there. And when my new car warranty runs out on my C8 I will use Tech-9 as well. Thx Kris!

Kris has worked on 3 of our cars and has done an excellent job each time. From engine diagnostic issues to replacing an AC system, Kris has never let us down. He does great work at a reasonable price and in a timely manner.

I have owned Porsche's since 1983. Was referred by a fellow Porsche owner to Tech 9. Best service I have ever experienced ! Kris is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Did a major repair, same day service, for an unbelievably fair price. I will never take my car anywhere else. Do not hesitate to bring your car to Tech 9
