Tire repair service near Norfolk, VA

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

They did a tremendous job on my teen's 1990 truck that we're restoring! I've worked on cars for over 40 years, and their service, from beginning to delivery, is first rate. Excellent quality as well as value for their good rates. I thought so much of the first job, I brought them our next project car as well. I highly recommend you look into what Richard Kelly and his crew can do.

This shop was awsome. Very fairly priced staff was awsome. My brakes became super soft and going to the floor and I called they were quick to get me in showed me what was wrong gave me a fair price and then took me home so I could get my kid off the school bus. The owner was super helpful and I was amazed at how professional and courteous everyone in the shop was. This is now my shop for all my repairs in the future I will never go anywhere else. Even offer a military discount for active and retired. Super job guys customer for life

Once your BMW is out of warranty, DP Motorwerks is the best place to go for any and all repair and/or service work. I have used Dave’s shop for my BMW 2010 128i since 2016. If you are taking the time to research BMW repair shops in the VB area, then I know you are probably looking for the same things that matter to me. I recommend this shop with absolutely no hesitation. You will appreciate Dave’s approachability, honesty, depth of knowledge, and integrity with respect to servicing and repairs. Above all you will value his fair pricing and quality of work.

I have had several of my vehicles in fro service over the past 8 months at Ocean Air, and I cannot say enough about how awesome these guys are. My 2005 GMC truck had the weirdest random problems that eluded several other shops in town, including a dealer, who gave me a large quote for something they weren't sure or right about. The guys at Ocean Air did a great job at a great price.

MBH has been repairing my Mercedes GL/SLC/and CLK cars for years. Extremely satisfied with both the services and support from MBH. I have purchased two of my Mercedes from MBH and very happy with both the price and quality of the cars. Will continue to ask for services and support from MBH. Highly recommend MBH to others for services and sales.

I want to rave about such a wonderful business! I stopped on my way to work this AM for gasoline for my car. I dread pumping gas before work because I have spilled it on my pant leg in the past. Anyhow when I pulled into the station an attendant quickly rushed out and asked to pump my gas. While the gas pumped he cleaned my windows and even asked if I needed additional services. When I offered to tip the man he said no, all women deserve this kind of service! I will always get gas from them! I recommend everyone do the same!

I've been a regular customer for fuel purchases for many years. For State vehicle inspections I've used someone else for over twenty years, but the owner retired so I decided to try Skymart (formerly known as Raceco). First I checked to see If I could find reviews and this site is one of a few I found. The BBB site gives it and F, they did not return a call to the BBB whenit inquired about a complaint. Several, actually the majority of the reviews/ratings were very poor/low, however there are also some very positive reviews and ratings. I and noticed that many of the poor reviews seemed to involve the service manager and communication. Feeling kind of lazy and not wanting to search to hard for an Inspection Station I decided to use Skymart with caution. First I called and spoke to a the service manager, I confirmed that they were doing inspections and that I would arrive well before their 4pm cut off. I also checked to see how busy and was told they should be able to get me done pretty quickly. When I arrived I parked first and went inside to meet the manager. I asked if she was the person i had spoken with about inspections and she said she was. She told me there was one car ahead of me. She had me fill out a form and in about 20 minutes or so the mechanic came into the waiting room to collect my form. We spoke briefly about my vehicle. He told me the inspection would take about 30 minutes and then he went out and pulled my truck in. About 30 minutes later I was leaving. The service was very good. I did observe that the manager has a very abrupt way of answering questions and responding to customers. I would say that in my case establishing good communication with her and the mechanic was key to a happy conclusion. I gave them 4 out of 5 stars because there was no warm and fussy from the manager, more of a take it or leave it attitude. I can see why there are so many low ratings.
