Friendly, honest, and reasonably priced. What more can you ask for? Highly recommended.

Mr. Carter is top notch. His knowledge is unmatched. He is fair. But, above it all, he cares about how he treats his customers and their vehicles. Safety is always the over-riding concern. And, you can't put a price on that! read more

It was late on a Saturday evening when we picked up part of a chain link fence in our tire. We looked up and saw "24 hour service" and drove to the shop before all the air leaked out of the tire. When we got there, the place was vacant. We called the number on the sign and left a message. Since it is a small town, my son called the local non emergency number for the police department to find out where we could take the car and told then where we were. They called Mr Carter at home, and he quickly called us back. After telling our story, and the fact that we had to leave on Sunday, he came out to the shop Early Sunday morning fixed the tire, and even offered to drop it off at our hotel. We went to pick up the car, and he only charged $20 for his services, and would NOT take a tip. If you are ever in Colonial Beach and need anything for your vehicle, I highly recommend, Carter Automotive, he is very nice, honest and fair. Thank you MR CARTER! read more

I was stranded in remote Colonial Beach in Virginia when my usually dependable car broke down. It was loaded down with all our clothes and goods that we were taking to Florida for the winter. On top of everything it was a Sunday afternoon and I couldn't get anyone to help me. Charles Carter of Carter Automotive saved us by coming over early the next morning and towing my dead car to his shop. After over four hours of diagnostic tests and troubleshooting he discovered that the problem was in a sensor that was sending a false report to the computer making it impossible to start. He replaced the sensor and we were on our way to Florida by early afternoon.I can't thank him enough for what he did and the entire service cost me less than $200!! I can't imagine how much that would have been if I had to have the Honda dealer perform the work!! I can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Charles. Mike in the 2003 tan Honda Pilot read more

This business is a rare gem. They are honest, fair, and exceptionally competent. You just don't find that very often in the auto repair business these days. read more
