Told em to put rejection sticker on it as they were not going to rip me off. Basically as photo shows just needed to put end into bracket and screw a new bolt on. Not sure how they came up with $240. They also said it passes now but sway bar bushings would need to be replaced and quoted $400 something bucks. Bushings are not expensive and doesn't take long to replace those.

Huge accolades to Williamsburg Automotive Repair. After thinking I needed new brakes on my Nissan…read morepassenger van and being new to the area, finding a good automotive repair shop seemed daunting. I did a search, found Williamsburg Automotive Repair, and crossed my fingers. After inspecting it was determined my brakes were fine and they called my husband to let them know it could wait. I also got an oil change and it was WAY less than I was expecting. Thank you for being an HONEST business.....we have four drivers in our home and we have found the place we will return for car maintenance. If you want an honest opinion, car care you can trust....this is the place for you!

Plus, it's great to be able to take my car to a local business with people who live in the area and get involved in the community. They host Family Service Days each year, and if you take the time to get to know the staff, they'll know you by name and treat you like an old friend every time. This is the place to go for honest, quality work. I refer all of my friends to American Pride.

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.

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.

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.

Looking at an old ticket from 2024 I see they charged me $240 for a Wynn's Fuel Injection Flush Cleaning Service. Honda doesn't recommend it. They also kept my car for three days once. Fortunately I was able to work from home during that time, but not without cost. I switched to Crow's Garage. They're a tad less flexible but the service is more trustworthy.

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"?
