2026 Maggy Awards: Services

Cary Car Care

Best Auto Mechanic Shop

Cary Car Care has been named an Honorable Mention in this category 7 times!

For Kelsey and BJ Lambdin, co-owners and vice presidents of Cary Car Care, winning the Maggy Award after multiple Honorable Mentions is “truly a great honor. … We work really hard at what we do and feel so fortunate to be working with the people of Cary.”

The family-owned business has been doing precisely that for over three decades, with Kelsey’s dad and BJ’s uncle establishing the auto repair shop as a staple in Cary. Kelsey can usually be found behind the scenes in the back office and BJ around the shop alongside what Kelsey describes as “a great team that helps provide great service!”

Stability and consistency come from shared values and a belief in “serving people through car care” and from what Kelsey says is a focus on catching issues early to reduce costly repairs and keep vehicles running smoothly for years to come.

The ASE-certified automotive repair shop provides maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs on most makes and models, to include hybrid and electric vehicles, but their most common client is the Cary family that needs the vehicle for work and school travel. “We take the time to get to know you and what you need from your vehicle,” Kelsey shares, “so that we can tailor the right repairs and maintenance to your situation.”

Honest and transparent service, along with an investment in building relationships and providing education, has ensured that since 1990, trust is the word most associated with Cary Car Care.

Twisted Scizzors

Best Hair Salon

Twisted Scizzors’ extended hours accommodate busy schedules! The salon is open 7 days a week and until 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

“Hair can be incredibly emotional,” says Amanda Kimball, owner of Twisted Scizzors Salon.

“Whether it’s a client embracing their natural gray, stepping into a bold new style during a life transition, or finally feeling confident after years of frustration with their hair, those moments stay with us,” she says. “It’s an honor to be part of those changes.”

Trends have come and gone during her decades behind a chair, but Amanda asserts, “What matters most to me has always stayed the same: helping people feel confident, seen, and truly themselves.”

The most-requested services at Twisted Scizzors include dimensional highlights, gray coverage, lived-in looks, and custom color, all delivered with skill and precision from a team of 18 stylists. But the real draw, Amanda says, is the thoughtful consultation that happens before any changes are made to a client’s hair: “We take the time to listen, educate, and tailor each service to the individual, their lifestyle, hair history, and long-term goals.”

Clients are treated like extended family, creating a loyalty that brings them back year after year. That loyalty has also helped Twisted Scizzors earn the Best Salon Maggy Award every year since 2013.

“We never take it for granted, Amanda says. “Every award reminds us why we show up each day with passion and purpose.”

Dr. Bobbi Stanley, Stanley Dentistry

Best Dentist

At Stanley Dentistry, two generations work under one roof. Because of this, Dr. Bobbi Stanley says patients “know who we are, know our values, and know we stand behind our work. When your name and your family’s reputation are on the door, excellence isn’t optional; it’s personal.”

This marks Stanley Dentistry’s 19th Maggy Award win!

Even after 30 years, Bobbi loves walking through those doors. She explains: “Dentistry lets me do what I value most: solve problems, create beauty with purpose, change lives in tangible ways, and never stop growing.”

The family dynamic also shapes the culture. “Patients aren’t just appointments on a schedule,” Bobbi says. “They’re people we build relationships with over time. For our patients, the benefit is simple but powerful: They’re cared for by a team that’s deeply invested, values relationships over transactions, and treats their practice and their patients like family.”

Winning the Maggy Award is especially meaningful because it’s “deeply personal,” Bobbi says. “It tells us that the people we serve feel seen, cared for, and confident in the work we do. We see this recognition not as a finish line, but as motivation to continue raising the bar for our patients and our community.”
