Engine repair service near Naval Base, VA

Todd brought my Z back to life. They also do business with a personal touch and this will be my service center from now own.

Nice, friendly guys. They know what they're doing. Prices are way below competitors. They even work on motorcycles, so when my husband needs them, they'll be there.

My last visit was today and as always, they are impressive and my van is running well again. All three of my vehicles are serviced here and I cannot say enough good about them all. Some of the problems with my vehicles have been frustrating to resolve, yet they worked patiently to fix them all. Today, after the work on my van was completed, I brought my Subaru in because I had a slow leak in one of the tires. They fixed it for free!! THAT is the service I get from this shop and I will always support them.

This repair shop not only targeted me as a woman, they targeted me as a military black woman. They fraudulently charged me for repairs not rendered and used intimidation tactics to keep my vehicle. I had to call the police to deal with the belligerent owner who was also very belligerent towards the police. Additionally, they kept my car and refused my payment method because they were upset that I questioned all of the charges. They had my vehicle for more than 6 weeks, with no calls for updates. They stated that they didn't have my number. The tried to add a $400 charge after they said my car was ready for pickup and I had to bring my significant other to the shop to investigate and found out that what they were trying to charge me was not needed and provided them training and the part so that they car can be repaired. Finally, due to me questioning them and they belittling me they decided to increase the cost by $200 just because.

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!"

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.

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
