My 17 yr old daughter brought her well maintained truck up here for an inspection. They failed her and gave her 2 pages of issues with her truck. Even sent her a pic of the "nail in her tire". I had her take it to another shop where she was told she has no issues that would stop her from getting a passing inspection. Are there things we should address yea but nothing major to cause her to break down. The nail in the tire didn't even exist!! It was a picture of someone else's tire or pulled from the internet! How these people sleep at night knowing they are scamming the very people in their community is mind blowing to me.

William the Service Manager was very polite, courteous and made sure the car was taken in right away. We were in and out in 1 hours. Really good people at American Pride Automotive. They proved that you can still treat people with kindness, dignity and respect and "EARN" their business. We will be customers for life. Thank you!

It's honestly rare these days to find a repair shop you can fully trust, but this place is the real…read moredeal. They've been in business for years, and it shows--not just in their experience, but in how they treat people. I brought my car in expecting a major repair, and instead of upselling me, they walked me through what actually needed to be done and what didn't. That kind of honesty is hard to come by. They took the time to explain everything clearly, never pressured me, and made sure I understood my options. In a time where it feels like everything is about squeezing out more money, this shop stands out for doing the opposite--being fair, transparent, and genuinely looking out for their customers. If you want a mechanic you can trust long-term, not just for one visit, this is the place. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

First, I never write reviews. I look at them all the time, but rarely take the time to write one…read moremyself...I felt it was needed to offset some of the reviews I've read here... I recently relocated to Williamsburg and in the midst of packing up and selling my home, I lost sight of my car inspection. It was already over due. I called American Pride and they were able to get me in the same day and even helped me get back and forth to my hotel from drop off to pick up. I am a widow and often get hit up for 'added repairs and services'...(I think being a woman dealing with car things, makes me a target). Given some of the other reviews here, I was a little worried that would be the case. They couldn't have been more kind, were courteous and no added 'recommended services or repairs' were pushed onto me. Just a passed state inspection and ready to go. Thank you American Pride. I wanted others to know, that I DID have good experience and didn't get the usual hit up for add ons.

Called in and they were unable to fit us in for 5 days ? In at 8am ... shortly after a call with um, ya need an $800 hose, um ya no we can't provide a detailed estimate.... um, yeah parts take 6-8 days. Honestly, I lost any confidence this business had the skills to provide this service. I took the vehicle elsewhere ... there diagnosis completely different with a written estimate detailing the condenser as the worn part, the part was ordered and installed in less than 3 hours at about half the cost, with a written warranty. I went back to American Pride Automotive, with the rusted worn condenser and asked for a refund of the $276. misdiagnosis and repair that they claimed to have provided and the Service Director could not for the life of him admit to his businesses failure. So, I gave him and honest chance to save a customer and instead has lost any chance at our business, but for $276 he's bought a lifetime of bad advertising for American Pride Automotive to all our family and friends. I looked at the other reviews for this business and see it's a pattern.... that's a shame.

With the long and drawn out babble I just read, I think it's safe to say I hit a nerve. Bitter truth tends to do that. You think because you're a woman that you don't do things like that? Really? Your the owner but you are going to pass the buck to this Jo Tinker huh? The "fact-based information in which you do have available"? You can't even pull up the information of a 5,000 quote? Not much of a owner if you don't know what your shop is doing. What? do you just sit back and collect the money you scam from these people or do you not care enough to say "Sorry, I will look into it"? Looking at the other comments here, I see every negative review and you put the blame on everything but you and your shop. There's your facts.
