Transmission repair service near Montpelier, VA

Always reliable’s

Duffy’s Repair Service, locally owned and operated shop, first opened its door for service November 1981. A lot has changed in the last 30 years, but our philosophy has remained the same “Provide First class customer service, honesty, and satisfaction every visit.” Through years of dedication and hard work the Duffy Family have grown the business from a few bay garage, to the large full service center that you see today

BUYERS BEWARE... As a former employee I noticed that the price mark up is ripping both areas off. For example they pay $18.99 for brake pads and you get charged $79.99 minimum, they pay $25.00 for brake rotors and you get charged $119.00 on the average. I've witnessed alot of wrong doing while working as a so called manager for this company. I feel for customers such as Ms. Shaw who came in to have her door fixed on her mini van and was charged $119.00 for diagnostics and was given a quote for $1800.00 only to get the problem fixed somewhere else for $6.00...but to make it worse the owner promised to refund her the diagnostic charge and then jerked her out of it. Instructing everyone to blow her off if she called. I can honestly say that I have NEVER experienced such robbery in all of the years I've been in the automotive industry. GOOD LUCK TO YOU IF YOU GO THERE!!! SIGNED A former employee.

Very extremely good service. No problem ever. I will give them 5star

I have used 4 Automotive shops over the past 34 years I have lived in Midlothian. Some for convenience on small stuff like inspections or oil changes. I would have used Automotive Concepts more regularly but due to the demand for their 5 star level of service you must plan in advance to get your car in via scheduling. Well Oct 18th changed everything. I was in St. Augustine FL with family and grandchildren and the local Dealer had looked at my truck for loss of Coolant. Head gasket Blown and needs new engine but they cannot get one from the manufacturer nor could I get a remanufactured engine like Jasper. Truck is a 2017 with over 144K on Odometer! I paid $570 and had the truck shipped home and I also paid the $450 diagnostics fee to the dealer and another $650 in one way rental charges to Enterprise. i took several weeks to find, secure and have shipped a replacement engine. Meanwhile I knew I did not want the other shops to handle this I wanted Automotive concepts. I was very concerned I would not be able to get my truck back before year end. Jem and his team including Jake did a complete lift of the Body from the frame and did the entire replacement. All totaled the engine I bought and Automotive concepts charges came to just at $9500. The engine is not new or remanufactured because none were available NATIONWIDE! But with only 22754 miles on the Odometer, the replacement engine it feels like new. Included with the engine install Jim and Jake went through suspension and other systems and did replacements of components that at 144k miles needed to be redone. I am one very happy customer as my truck now feels like it is brand new and at $9500 I could never come close to finding a replacement vehicle! I immediately brought in another vehicle to have the suspension done and for any vehicle work in the future I will be going to Automotive Concepts. BTW as a financial Advisor the largest client I had was a Automotive firm out of Fairfax that sold out to Monroe Tire and Muffler in 2007 for $12 Million. I worked with that company for over 25 years and I knew every one of their technicians. It doesn't come any better than Automotive Concepts! 5 Stars all the way!

I came in without an appointment because my brakes were squeeling and Doug, the store manager, got me in and did a thorough brake inspection on my car. He brought me into the shop and showed me that how bad my pads had worn and it had taken a toll on my rotors. I am very appreciative not only for the great work that was done but, for how respectful all of them were to me! Thank you guys!!

An update on the saga of dealing with Al's. The transmission is leaking. Took it to Aamco, they said it will be $380.00 to fix. Took it to Al's today. He tightened some of the bolts and we have to take it to him again in two weeks. Al's gave another 30 days on the original warranty that is almost up. I feel it will be a lifetime of going back and forth to Al's with a broken transmission in the future. For lack of a better word, I think we're screwed. So if you want a year of back and forth, no warranty and hassles, Al is you're man.

Misdiagnosis led to major issues-then upcharges more than doubled since last discussion ( owner does the work without signed authorization or verbal approvals of the work quoted ).

I have been dealing with Broyles Wrecker service for many years now, back when her father was running the business and also since Jennifer is running the business. They have treated me fair even when I had a emergency from time to time, they are my call first wrecker service

I want to take the time to say thank you for the outstanding customer service and prompt service with installing my starter. Travis and Mitch took the time to go over the installation process and also found the best price on my starter. I highly recommend C&G mobile automotive repair. Thank you for putting me back on the road! Melanee Dowdye

I was very happy with the experience.

Jason and Mike are top notch mechanics! Only shop I trust with my family vehicles. 100% satisfaction guaranteed by this duo!

My husband took our Mercedes in because the headlights were going out while driving at night. We took it in for repair. We were told that the diagnostics said the alternator needed to be replaced. After paying a bill for 495.00, the car was still doing the same thing the next day. We took our car back to get the problem corrected. In the mean time, my husband called a local Mercedes repair shop to inquire about the headlights and they told him that most likely a module needed to be replaced. (No mention of the alternator at all). Low and behold, when we called Buddy South back, Scott, the manager told me that they THOUGHT the problem was the alternator but now they THINK it is a switch and we needed to fork over another $520 dollars. When I asked why both problems did not show up when they did the diagnostics, he said they only checked for problems with the alternator. (But the diagnostics should have been to detect the problems no matter what was causing the problem).I asked Scott if they checked to make sure that the problem was fixed after they replaced the alternator and he said he could not duplicate the problem. However, they were able to duplicate the problem the second time around. All they had to do was let the car run with the headlights on for 10 minutes and "voila". I don't think they tried the first time around, because they ASSUMED the alternator was the problem. Basically, if you have a foreign car, don't let BUDDY SOUTH guess at your car problems....It will cost you dearly. I was forced to give them one star but I would never recommend this shop to any one.....unless I really wanted to see them spend unnecessary money. I wouldn't wish that on any one.

I highly recommend! Went for an oil change in he Jetta very fair priced. Needed work done on the beloved tundra, they were able to do the work same day. I couldn’t be any happier! They are also very pup friendly & treat you like family, not just another person and another $$$. Never tried to up-sell anything. Did exactly what I needed. Thank you so much! Heather Waugh
