Best on the beach! This is a high quality auto care business. The best thing about FLAC is that you can text them a picture of the problem and sometimes they can diagnose even before you drop it off. They also keep me informed via email or text on the status and cost of my repairs. Love, love, love them! Meg read more

*Beware* The inspection scam is in full effect. My wife took my son's car to get inspected and got upsold on work that wasn't needed for an exorbitant price. $587 for rear brakes on a Ford Fusion! (That included a 100% markup on parts). Normal price for that work should be about $250 to $350 at worst. The Service Advisor unapologetically admitted that the work was unnecessary. Shop around and avoid scammers like this. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! I visited First Landing Auto Care in September for a state inspection, tire rotation and alignment. As an engineer myself I'm extremely disappointed in the shoddy work and lack of care shown to my vehicle. I replaced my front break pads yesterday, 28 February, the front left wheel came off with no problem. The issue came with the front right tire. We jacked up the car and loosed almost all of the bolts. One of the bolts was torqued well over 200 ft-lbs. However 7/16 bolts are supposed to be torqued between 80-100 ft-lbs. Subaru foresters specifically are rated for 83 ft-lbs. I am unsure if the mechanic that day had a bad day and was being lazy and decided to use the impact randomly when tightening the lug nuts. But one of the lug nuts completely sheered off. Basic mechanic problems come from under or over torqued bolts. Not only is the pricing obscenely over market rate but the work is also sub par. I've been in quality assurance of engine overhauls for the last 4 years, and this type of carelessness is unacceptable. I do not trust First Landing Auto to fix the problem they created and will be pressing the bolt and reinstalling myself. Following torque specs is a basic mechanic/engineering practice and although it may seem like going the extra mile to make sure it is done properly, not doing so can cause catastrophic failure in engines and mechanics. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

This place ripped off a family member of mine selling them an alternator for over 900.00 not counting everything else they ripped her off for. I hope they feel good taking advantage of a woman on social security. read more

Due to the negligence from FLAC, my engine seized and I had to get a new vehicle due to the replacement cost vs. value of my Kia. This was a HUGE blow and I am irate at this "business" that has not taken a single ounce of responsibility. Disgusting. DO NOT GO HERE!!! read more

I think what most of us try to avoid is inflated prices and being taken advantage of, which is why I'm writing this review. If you look at my other reviews you will see that I am fair knowing how vital word of mouth is to a business' success but I would recommend to NEVER take your car here. My car is older and while I agree that I forgot to replace a fog light that was out, they wanted to charge me $187.00 to replace that and a license plate bulb that was out. As someone that does my own car maintenance, I found this to be laughable for something that cost me $22 to fix myself. When I said I would be fixing it myself, he proceeded to try and convince me otherwise by trying to establish a sense of urgency. I will NEVER take my car here again. And if the owner is reading this, feel free to contact me as I am more than willing to discuss your practices with you further. read more

WATCH OUT LADIES!! DO NOT GO HERE!! NOT HONEST!! PRICE GOUGERS!! THEY ARE WAY OVER-PRICED AND WILL FAIL YOUR INSPECTION FOR THINGS THAT ARE ALLOWED TO PASS!! DO NOT GO HERE!! #1-- $8 for a bulb, ok- I get it! NOT $79 to install it!?! equaling $87!?! I bought the bulb at Auto Zone- the guys in there were repulsed at First Landing's price gouging! My son installed it in 10 min! DO NOT GO HERE!! #2 -- By the inspection manual the motor mount cannot make you fail because it is a captured bushing- it cannot come apart, just make a terrible noise until you want to fix it. They wanted $636 for that! DO NOT GO HERE!! #3-- Rear brakes measured 2mm- that does not fail VA inspection. It means get some soon but they wanted $654 to change my brakes and fluid!! THEY ARE NOT HONEST!! read more

I had a good experience here getting my ADAS radar re-calibrated. The alignment is perfect thanks to technician Larry. Sure, they will offer you all kinds of things to spend money on, that's the job of a shop.. you don't have to agree. I am happy with the service I received, and would go there again if I ever need another ADAS calibration. (I do all my own work on my cars.) read more

Total rip-off. I rarely write reviews but these people are dishonest and just want your money. They recommended a fuel injection on my year old car when they are supposed to be done minimum every 3 years. They charged me $600+ for a state inspection, oil change, filter replacement and fuel injection. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Nice people way overpriced get your car fixed somewhere they also messed with the audio settings in my friends car and possibly blew there subs read more

I brought my car in for a state inspection. They sent me the inspection run down and said my left front marker light on my 2016 Jeep wrangler was out and it wouldn't pass inspection without it. I authorized them to change the light bulb. When I picked it up I was floored to find that the cost was $117, the state inspection was only $20. They said that the labor for replacing the light bulb was alot for my vehicle. I looked up the procedure on Youtube when I got home and it only takes less than 5 minutes to change that light bulb. They charged me $4.35 for the bulb which is not bad, but $84.41 for labor. I will not be returning to FL for anything, suggest you don't either. read more

I paid $115 for an oil change and state inspection which is pretty steep in my experience. No issues with the staff or service, they were fine. Car failed inspection for a few reasons, asked how much it would be to fix them and was told about $1300. Sway bar links on Amazon are 34$ and the headlight fixture I needed to replace was about $140. That comes out to a little over $1100 in labor for two relatively superficial fixes that I'll do at home. Again, pretty steep. Overall, no issues with staff and service but if you're looking to save a buck or even pay an average market price, this probably isn't your place. I wish I'd looked at other reviews prior to scheduling because looks like some others have complained about prices as well. Only gave them a second star because they do have after hours pick up and left a "thank you bag" with a couple mints. read more

LADIES BEWARE! 2013 Volvo In need of a safety inspection, I took my car to First Landing Auto Care, which we have used for several repairs in the past without issue. Auto repair is usually something my husband handles. I brought the car in myself, and it failed. I ended up with a quote for over $900.00 to complete repairs. Something just did not sit right with me. I called the dealership to compare pricing. Every part listed on the estimate from First Landing was marked up anywhere from 50 to 100%! And labor charged for Each little item, including changing out windshield wipers blades. Example: most expensive part First Landing charge was over $400.00 Volvo charge $233. (Which is the quote Volvo gave him) I called First Landing back and asked If this is normal practice to charge that much for parts. I was told " I just put the part in the computer, and there is nothing I can do about the pricing. This part was not in there system, which he told me, and had to find the part. So, someone had to put a price in the system! I believe that a small blonde woman was taken advantage of. Long story short...yes the things that he wrote did need to be fixed. But my $900. Repair bill went down to $392.00. FROM THE DEALER I will be writing a super great review for Volvo of Virginia Beach. read more

I had a horrible experience here, so I came in for a diagnosis specifically for an oil leak in my engine, and these people gave me a run for my money, took pictures of everything wrong with my car acting like I didn't know it was a beater, then tried to sell me 3,000$ worth of crap. Figured it was because I'm young but I wouldn't trust them to change my oil. read more

I took my car in for an inspection and oil change and they had it done in no time. The inspection was sent directly to my phone with pictures and detailed info which was super helpful. I needed new tires and a few other things done and was able to schedule for the next day, and they had it all completed in less than 2 hours. Mike was extremely helpful and professional throughout the process. The Thank You bag with mints left on my passenger seat was also such a nice touch! would highly recommend this establishment. read more

First Landing Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Avoid this place at all cost because if you go, especially if you're a woman it's going to cost you. The most absorbent prices I have ever seen. After the repair I still had a problem and when I brought it back they were trying to squeeze more thousands of dollars out of me. For the good of humanity I hope this place goes out of business! read more

The only reason I decided on this place was because I had a nail in my tire and was hoping to get a quick patch. I figured any old gas station repair shop would do since it's a simple task that i just lacked the tools for. Well I will say that this place goes above and beyond what my expectations were. Now I have only been here once, but I will certainly go back again when my vehicle is in need. When I walked into the waiting area I was pleasantly surprised by the cozy rocking chairs, and coffee / water available. It actually looked like a place I would not mind waiting in while my car got fixed. I was easily able to wait, since my vehicle was immediately looked at and taken back for repair. Granted mine was an easy repair, but the sense of expedient service was there. I was more impressed, not with my own repair, but with how other customers were treated while I was there. Some were offered a pick up or a drop off from / to home as a courtesy, and everyone was fully explained all repairs and issues that were found. Overall the standard that First Landing Autocare seems to hold themselves to is very high. this is more than just your average gas station oil change garage. It is a well run, and professional place in the neighborhood that will certainly be a go to when my car is in need. read more

First Landing Auto Care - Comfy waiting room - Auto Repair Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I am truly disappointed by the lack of respect and honesty that took place when my car was towed here the other day. First Landing Auto Care quoted my car at $850 for a new starter- without checking the issue properly. I was also told that I needed other work done, making my total charges nearly $1,300. Although I am well aware that starters can be pricey, it is absurd to charge this for a replacement. Additionally, my car was towed here and felt that First Landing was taking advantage of the situation by over charging me. Ultimately I had my car towed to another auto body shop where they made an adjustment to the battery for only $130 because the starter was not even the issue. Please be sure to double check with other places before committing to this auto body shop. read more

My husband and I try to support this business because they are local. Their price on gas is a bit higher than others, but again, they are local. The staff is always personable. However, we paid $150 for an inspection and oil change. Our 2016 Toyota Highlander was failed because of a windshield wiper! So we had them replace it - $28. We paid $90- yes, $90 - for an oil change with synthetic oil. We'll probably go elsewhere in the future. read more

Girlfriend arrived for a 1:00 SCHEDULED inspection at 12:45. After an hour, at approx 2:00, she was told she needed new wiper blades. She agreed knowing this should only take minutes. After 25 more minutes she went to the front desk and was told they didn't have 1 of the wiper blades in stock and it was being delivered. At 2:45 she had wiper blades replaced and was out the door - 2 hours after arriving. 2 hours is extremely excessive for a scheduled inspection. Will not return. read more

This was my first experience with FL. It may be my last. I made an appointment for 8 am. I was there before 8 and was one of the first in the office. I requested that my brakes be inspected and then to receive a call to discuss the findings. At 2:30 that day, I had heard nothing. I called and was told the tech was looking at my truck then. So 6 1/2 hours had elapsed, and no work had been done. Why? I had an 8 am appointment. At 3:30, FL called, told me what they thought should be done with my rear brakes, and I authorized the work. The service advisor said they'd have to order the parts and my truck should be ready by 5 pm the next day. At 2:30 on day 2, I received a call and was told it was ready. Why wasn't the brake inspection and needed work promptly done on day 1? Fortunately, I was able to do without my vehicle for another day. Most people can't. There was no communication from FL saying the work was delayed and would go into the next day. I learned this because I called. FL also sent me a detailed list of all the work they recommended be done to my truck that totaled $2,000. I didn't ask for this kind of inspection/assessment to be done. No wonder the work I wanted done took so long. This smacks of trying to upsell more work instead of doing promptly what I asked to be done. They charged me $600 for rear brake pads and rotors. Seems a bit high. They also charged $85 to inspect the brakes and ~$70 for "job supplies" in addition to the cost of parts. And then there's $76 in labor to replace a burned out brake light bulb! Now, the office staff was certainly courteous and professional. But the overall experience left me thinking I should consider other service providers, although I may give FL another chance. If I do, I will ask a lot more questions and set some clear expectations. read more

I was really pleased with their service. I got an oil change and inspection. They sent a detailed report of the inspection which was amazing, and walked me through any concerns. Lastly, it was raining when I was going to walk to get my car so they ended up dropping off my car to me where I live with a bag full of mints :) great service, and nice people! read more

FLAC has always taken great care of me! Oil changes, new tires, whatever I need no need to really shop as they are competitive and in tune to my budget and needs. They give me a detailed list of near future needs so I can prepare the budget a bit ahead of time. Great team! read more

I am sorry to give this review but this is solely based off of what we found after getting an estimate with this place. We came here on the assumption that it was rated well from other Yelp reviewers. The lady was nice on the phone and all. But after getting the estimate for the cost of repairs and finding out later at home, that one of the recommended issues for replacement and repair was actually not needed, we were upset to find out that they would have charged us to replace a full windshield washer pump(Which obviously is not broken, thanks to our findings) when the fuse was the only problem. Something didn't sit right with my husband about the charges so he wanted to check around to be sure. However we got curious. After having no front windshield wiper fluid coming out on the front windshield for the past couple of years we weren't sure what was happening and if it was the pump or a clog in the line or something else. So I researched and one of the videos I watched on YouTube (OF ALL PLACES), the guy First and foremost immediately went to the fuse box first and checked the fuse. Sure enough his fuse was blown. So that sparked an interest in my husband and I both to check our fuse. Once we found the right fuse we pulled it out and lo and behold it was burned out. And would you believe when we put one of the spares in that was already in the fuse box, in place of the burned fuse that our windshield wiper fluid now sprays on our front windshield? IT WORKS! IT'S NOT BROKEN, JUST A BLOWN FUSE! This shows me that this company did not take the time to look at the fuse box first to see if there were any burned-out fuses and they just automatically assumed (or intentionally blamed) it was the pump so thus charging us $170 to replace a pump that, who knows if they even knew, whether it was truly broken or not. PLEASE PLEASE YALL. ALWAYS get a second opinion or check your fuse panel for any blown fuses. We found out on our own that we didn't have to spend $165. It cost us $0. And just a few minutes of smart thinking and investigating! See Attached Picture of blown fuse! :-) Have a nice day! read more

First Landing Auto Care - Seee... I told ya! Trust your instincts! Always check! This cost us $0 and we did it ourselves! Easy fix! - Auto Repair Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

When my radiator hose popped off in 38° weather, this gas station was the kindest over the phone (thanks, Nancy!). I was going to have to walk a mile from the Starbucks on Shore Drive to get fluid and a screwdriver. When I arrived, I bought the supplies to get the car running again. The owner offered to drive me back to my car. The staff was kind and helpful-- they went beyond the standard of good service, and I am thankful. read more

I paid for an oil change with synthetic oil. While on a 500 mile trip my low oil warning indicated loss of one qt nine days later, and again two more days later. After returning to VB I took the car back and the tech determined that the cause was lack of the proper gaskets that came with the filter. First Landing replaced all of the oil and the filter without charge. read more

Great quick car inspection and repairs for a reasonable price. I have a hard time trusting mechanics, but I like this place. I'll be back. Edit: they left a goodie bag in my car after I picked it up with a thank you card! Good customer service. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Took my 2013 truck in for an inspection and was presented with a rejection for a "moisture on a shock". I showed the technician the Virginia code for shock leaks and my truck passes. The technician then changed the stance to the "shock was totally blown". The shop wanted $1076.98 to replace a shock to give me an inspection. I then got into my truck which smelled like someone had spilled a gallon of gas in it. Very unprofessional and predatory. I needed my truck inspected to evacuate my family due to a hurricane and this shop was the worst choice I could have made. Do yourself a favor and pick another shop. read more

I have taken my car to First Landing Auto Care since I moved here this summer. They are true professionals and I feel that they take a lot of pride in their work. I know my car is in good hands. I appreciate the printouts of what the inspection revealed, along with an electronic link to the pdf. They have no issues with you waiting for your care, and have a nice area where you can have a cup of coffee and relax. I will continue to recommend this location to family and friends in the area and clearly leave them in charge of my Chrysler's maintenance and repair needs. read more

Knew about these guys for a while owner was a customer of mine. seem to be a local favorite they fixed a starter issue I paid 200 dollars at another store for so I should've just came here first. The receptionist was awesome and owners a cool dude they even give you a full print out of your diagnosis you can see online or there's a hard copy which I've never gotten before anywhere read more

I can not say enough awesome things about the team at First Landing Auto! They are amazing and do AWEOME work. They give you a detailed break down with pictures of everything that's going on with your vehicle so you can see and understand what's going on. I have had work done with them many times and will always return to them. Today (Friday)I needed a new starter and called a few places closer to my house and no one was going to be able to get it till Monday. I work two jobs and can't be with out my car all weekend. They were able to fit me in and fix my car the same day! I'm so happy and grateful! Plus I know the work is quality! read more

First Landing Auto Care has become my new go to garage. They are very quick to take care of my care quickly!! Ashley in the office is so welcoming and explains the whole process.

This is by far the greatest auto repair shops in Virginia Beach. The service advisors are courteous, friendly and informative and I emphasise informative.

I can't say anything but AWESOME things about First Landing Auto Care! I have never, and will never take my car anywhere else!

My parents live In the area, and I wanted to get my tire pressure checked because I thought I had a small leak or something on one of my tires. Stopped in here and was greeted with my service from a young gentleman who checked my tire pressure and let me know he thought everything was good to go. Yes it was a simple tire check, but they went above and beyond with customer service! Highly recommend if you're in the area. My parents also come here as well! read more

The folks at First Landing Auto Care are amazing. I came into town for a couple of days on business and Lisa was able to get me in right away... service was fast and the price was very reasonable. As a tourist, they could have really taken advantage of me but I was thrilled that they took the time to check things out, explain options and prices in depth and let me make the decision that worked beat for me. My only disappointment is they don't have a shop in Gettysburg. .. definitely recommend and encourage you to give Lisa and David a try... read more

I am ALWAYS nervous when we need to move to a new area and find an honest and reputable car service center. My husband and I certainly found it here! They inspect everything, send a rating and photos of what needs immediate attention and also what needs later attention so that you can keep it for your records. They are friendly and pit you at ease immediately! They even gave us a gift bag and our cars are now in great shape. Even though we live a little bit of a drive from them, we will never go anyplace else!! Thanks guys! read more

Excellent service done professionally in a timely manner...and a thoughtful token of candy and a card left in the passenger seat! Highly recommend them. read more

I've tried a lot of auto shops over the years and I'm nearly always disappointed. First Landing Autocare was prompt, thorough and surprisingly honest. They did a complete check of my daughters car, in addition to the work we requested. They identified a number of issues, but let me know there was nothing urgent. They even went so far as to recommend another shop for some of the work. I couldn't have been more pleased. read more
