Auto repair service near Chesapeake, VA

I know it was difficult to get the window up from being all the way down and having to deal with the electric latch. I appreciate the commitment and effort of the mechanic getting the job done in a relatively short amount of time.

Family owned business since 1947. We are known for radiator and a/c services, however we are a full automotive repair facility.

My Jeep was having some sensor and noise issues so I took it in for Jerry to look at. He found the issues and let me know exactly what the charges would be to fix it. He had the work done as soon as the parts came in. I would highly recommend Jerry and will be going back for any issues that I have in the future. He was very professional and kind.

Please be advised we do not accept appointments for Virginia State Inspections. These are performed on a first come, first served basis.

Excellent customer service, as usual!

Overall, very polite customer service. Quick services. Cost efficient.

If I could give this company more than 5 stars I would! This was by far the most positive experience I have ever had when it comes time to car troubles and the stress they bring. Doug was amazing and honest and explained everything thoroughly and made the entire experience stress free. I highly recommend Doctor Honda! 100 stars rating!

Very professional in appearance and demeanor. Communicates effectively and promptly. Accurate estimates and timely completion. Probably the best mechanic I have dealt with. A great family operation that is friendly and honest. They are now "MY MECHANICS!"

Best service and best pricing around. Beat the competition price and provided a++++ service.

Thank you for making my 2003 SUV run like new again! You earned a customer for life and I will definitely bring you more business. After 2 recommendations from 2 separate sources, I thought I'd give this shop a try as it's very difficult finding a good, honest shop who repairs only what is wrong at a more than fair price. I highly recommend this awesome crew and I sincerely appreciate the kindness and professionalism they bestowed upon me when my truck was very sick! THANK YOU!

went in knowing I needed alot of repairs. Randall told me that he would have one of his techicians drive the car for the noises that I was hearing, and then check out the car before before any repairs. when they checked out car Randall took me out to car and showed me what was wrong. Gave me est. on what I needed, gave me some recomendations for next time. I couldn't believe the total was almost 400 less than I expected. Honest,fair, trustworthy, a customer for life. Thanks Randall and Brady.

Do not take you car to this place. They have the license to steal what ever money they want. As soon as I seen they had the hood opened, I knew I was in trouble. One thousand dollars later and they still would not pass the inspection on the truck.

I took my older vehicle here for a tune up. The front counter person made me uncomfortable from the start by being so promising of how well they will perform the job, as he stated the price. Normally, mechanics would like to take a look first. I was aware of a humming noise coming from the air filter section of the engine, but thought it would be corrected during the tune up. Once I was given a job status call with recommended services, the noise was not mentioned. But at pick up time, the counter person brings up the noise and a quick fix deal if I bring it back. (Half Labor Charge). I took it back. At pick up, he charged $125.00 for 1 hour labor which would be $250.00 an hour. I just paid! Over the next 2 days, the engine was stalling, riving up on it's own and not idling properly, so I took it back. Automatically, he started talking of more charges. When I mentioned the overpayment I had already paid, he stated that I'm the one who agreed to pay it. I still have to get their work corrected.

Carl had my vehicle for over a year. I paid up front $2500 back in February 2016. I contacted Carl several times over the course of a year and each time there were several excuses as to why the vehicle had still not been repaired. After taking him to court and several non kept promises to return either my vehicle or the money that I paid up front we have now reached the two year anniversary since I handed over possession of my vehicle. The court sentenced Mr. Carl to return my funds back as well as the car back in July 2017 and he has avoided all phones calls since this date. This has been the worst experience and I would NEVER recommend this shop. PLEASE GO ON YELP FOR TWO RECENTLY POSTED REVIEWS WITH THE SAME TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!

WEDNESDAY, 6 JULY 2016 I’m a 74-year old disabled vet whose 2007 Chrysler Town & Country Touring van (my sole source of transportation) was having cooling issues. The temperature gauge had recently gone up to the top & back down again on several occasions. I checked my radiator for fluid leaks (found none) & levels (added 50-50 anti-freeze). The problem continued. After checking the internet for the best auto repair businesses and, with all their excellent reviews, contacted Champions of Chesapeake Auto Repair who said they give 20% off to seniors! I told them I would have AAA tow my van to their place of business. While waiting for the tow truck, I received a call from Dennis (?) telling me that Mike (?) said to have it towed to their secondary shop (Great Bridge Auto & Transmission Repair); so I did. Later, I received a call from Ryan (?) telling me that my van had a blown head-gasket and needed an engine replacement (estimated cost: $3400 used to $5500 new); plus, there might be issues that hadn’t been determined because this was the primary one! I’ve been retired since June 2006, receive my monthly income @ the 1st of each month, have very limited savings, and could not possibly pay for an engine replacement. I told Ryan I’d have to have AAA tow it from their shop & requested their bill for service ($79). Faced with this awful dilemma, I called the place of business from whom I’d purchased my van, explained my problem & was referred to another repair shop with whom they did business. The next afternoon that repair shop’s service manager (Joe) called & told me I did NOT have a blown head-gasket but a cooling fan failure & my van was ready for pick-up (cost: $408)! WOW, what a difference! As a result of this fiasco, MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS SHOP!!! Their faulty & costly diagnosis is INEXCUSABLE! An auto repair business without integrity & trust in analyzing a problem is totally OFF-LIMITS to me and should be for anyone! TOM BOWLES, Lifetime Chesapeake Resident

$180 dollars labor to replace a heater hose. They waved the $90 diagnostic fee since I had been there 6 days before replacing a radiator and thermostat. My complaint is not about their competency, I just think I paid a high price for labor.

I really dislike this service center. No one gets it right the first time and every one gives me problems before they will do anything to fix the vehicle. Wish I would not have purchased from here.

Do your research before you use this guy.Check the court files for Chesapeake.He has been to their court for getting paid and not performing work or sub-par work.he also took my money and never finished a job.Beware of this guy

I've brought my vehicles to this location for the past several years even before it was Auto Bell, I have always been very pleased with the service and cleaning, I never had to point anything out that was missed and always left a great tip. BUT, for the past 4-5 trips to this location I have been very dissapointed! The last few trips have ended with me driving away with a less than clean vehicle even after having to point out things like; needing to be re-vacuumed, interior dressing smeared and caked, windors left with lent and streaks.. I can go on and on. WELL.. This last trip (Today 4/29/11) I took my H3 in to be cleaned, as soon as it came around the corner from the wash I noticed the front hood Louver "WAS MISSING" as I stood up to walk over to find out what happened one of the guys ran around the corner with the Louver ( It's a vent in the center of the hood about the size of.. a TV tray) he quickly layed it back ontop of the hood and began wiping down my car... when I got over there I asked "What the %^$# happened" he said "Oh, my manager will be here in a second" he walked over and got his manager while explaining to him what had happened. After assessing the damage the Manager proceeded to tell me that this was a recall on my vehicle any way and the dealership should be able to take care of it.... He filled out an incident report. I called the dealership right away and scheduled an appt. THEN, when the guy was finished with my car I stick my head in to take a look and I am knocked back with a terrible smell that was all over the interior of my car, Like they had used an old stail rag to wipe down the interior AND this guy got some kind of thick sticky stuff on my passenger seat (like syrup or something) The manager said "I dont know" and asked if I wanted a fragrance???? THATS IT! I WILL NOT GO BACK THERE AND I WILL BE SUEING THIS COMPANY IF I GET CHARGED 1 CENT FOR THE REPAIR OF MY LOUVER. AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW, DONT KNOW, CHAT WITH, BLOG
