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!

Great shop, great service, prompt and fair with cost. Will definitely do business with them again…read morein the future

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 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.

He came back on the phone with me and asked me to explain my problem quickly. As I was giving him an abbreviated version of my issue, he cut me off and asked for my license plate number. I asked him why he needed that and he said so he could look my car up. I told him I didn't have it with me and told him the make, model and year of my car. He told me he didn't want to work on it because of the parts, hassle and his technicians couldn't handle older European cars. Seriously? Total crap business. Fortunately I found out how bad they are BEFORE he had a chance to get one penny from me! I consider myself blessed.

Never ever have them work on your car or inspect your car ..Harry , owner , is very rude and…read moreunprofessional.. he has no customer service skills at all .. and no empAthy for customers .. My Car was taken there for inspection .. they hit it car with one of their cars .. instead of them sending the car to a detail shop and having them fix the car .. Harry wanted to take cheap way out and fix the car himself (once done he gave no warranty on his work) then told me he is not a body shop he is inspection shop ( okkkk) .. he did fix it after 20 days ( wow! The car was there for 15 min inspection ) I called everyday and he kept telling me the car was not a priority to them !( wow! Even when they hit the car ) He kept telling me he was not liable ( really , his employee hit the car) I asked if he is not liable then why is his fixing the car .. he told me out of the goodness of his heart (really , lol) .. I told him I was going to call his insurance company .. he told me he has 5k deductible and he would rather give me 500$ for the car .. ( is this is what he thinks of others property ) In order to get that car fixed I had to threaten to sue him .. after that was said the car was repaired in less than 24 hours .. Harry is a complete mess .. he inspects cars and gives hot inspection stickers.. I know he does this because that's the whole reason the car was sent there was to get a "hot sticker " .. this was my 70 year old aunts car , I had to get involved when she couldn't get her car back after 20 days !!!! If I could give him a "0" star , I would !! Never take anything to his shop !!!

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.
