This was my first experience with this shop. I brought my truck in for three things: an oil change,…read morea state inspection, and a windshield washer fluid hose repair. All three items were completed, so this isn't a review claiming that nothing was done. My concern is with the quality of the service and the follow-up afterward. During the inspection, I was told my truck needed a new engine air filter. The problem is that I had recently installed a high-quality reusable K&N filter. That recommendation immediately made me question how carefully it had actually been inspected. During the oil change, I noticed I was being charged several dollars more per quart of oil than the nearby auto parts store charged. To their credit, after I questioned it, they adjusted the bill. However, I shouldn't have had to catch that myself. In addition, when I left the shop, the "Check Oil" maintenance reminder had not been reset. My biggest concern involved the windshield washer hose repair. I was originally charged a diagnostic fee for what turned out to be a straightforward repair. After I questioned it, the charge wasn't removed--it was simply reclassified as labor. Before leaving, I asked exactly what had been done to repair the hose. This is a known issue on my model truck, and simply reconnecting the hose often means it will separate again. A simple zip tie is a common preventive fix. I never received a clear explanation of what repair was actually performed. To be fair, I contacted the owner before posting this review. Ryan responded promptly to my first email, which I appreciated. I then sent a follow-up email on June 8 asking one straightforward question: "What work was performed regarding the windshield washer hose repair?" More than a month later, I still have not received a response. No repair shop is perfect, and I don't expect perfection. I do expect careful work, fair pricing, and clear communication when I ask reasonable questions. Unfortunately, too many small issues added up, and the lack of follow-up from the owner ultimately led to this rating. There are many repair shops in the area, and this experience didn't give me enough confidence to return.

Last week I took my wife's Nissan Altima to Guaranteed Auto Service in Newport News for a VA State…read moreInspection & Oil change. This was the 2nd time I have used this shop since moving to Hampton July 2020. When we moved to Hampton, I immediately began searching for a family owned & operated auto repair shop. I searched Google & Yelp for the BEST shops throughout Hampton Roads. All my research indicated Guaranteed Auto Service was the place to go. I have not been disappointed! This shop is laser-focused on providing great customer-service, and top quality work at an affordable price point. They are not going to perform unnecessary work. They treat you like family (a friendly greeting & cold bottled water when you walk in the door; free car wash before you pick up your car and Thank You Note on the seat). You just don't find many businesses like this nowadays! Mr Barr & his great team will get ALL my auto repair/routine maintenance business in the future. When someone asks me where to take their vehicles for maintenance & repairs needs, I am sending them to Guaranteed Auto Repair in Newport News!

I called them up and explained the situation about my air conditioner being broken and that I was looking for a fix until I can get enough money to replace the system. I took my car to them and when they checked it out, they mentioned that I shouldn't need to replace the entire system (opposed to what Meineke and pep boys told me), and that only the expansion valve and dryer needed to be replaced in it. Wonderful. They saved me so much money (upwards of $1200+ easily). The staff is wonderful. There is always a friendly atmosphere whenever I go there. I refuse to take my car anywhere else now. If I need something, I'm calling them first.

They recommended an excellent towing service and took our car in the same evening, after hours. It's a foreign car, so it took a couple of days getting parts, but they expedited the repairs and we were back on the road in two days. The owner, Zach, was very friendly, respectful, thorough, and was great about communicating the ongoing status of the repairs. Overall, we were extremely pleased and would highly recommend this repair shop.

Way better than most shops I've been to. I'm so happy I ventured here. It is local and the staff is wonderful. I definitely found a place where I will take my car for repairs, upkeep etc. Highly recommend!!

They are reasonably priced & have never price gauged me. The staff in the front & everyone in the shop/bay are always kind and respectful. They do usually stay pretty booked so it's important to call ahead & expect to get an appointment a few days later. But occasionally you can get a walk-in or have them squeeze you in. Nowadays it's hard to find a trustworthy mechanic, but look no further than Travis'!
