Then, after I got the issue fixed, I headed back to the shop to get my inspection sticker and they'd closed early for xmas eve! There was NO signage on the door. On the Friday following xmas, I headed out early before work to try and get the problem resolved again, and the shop was still closed with NO SIGNAGE stating they'd be closed- they also had no prompt on their answering service stating they'd be closed. They wasted my time with the poor communication, and I felt angry when the tech smiled while handing me my rejection sticker. Wouldn't recommend this chaotic, unprofessional place.

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!

Replaced the flywheel & clutch but did not replace a bearing that was a part of the repair. 3k miles later, the truck began giving trouble again. Difficulty shifting. I took it to a mechanic where I live (FL), and got the shifter fixed. $800 job. that was fixed but the shifting issues came back almost immediately, and this time accompanied by a chirping sound. I took the truck back & my mechanic asked more questions about the work I'd gotten done. I hadn't owned a car in the last 10 years so I didn't know anything. He encouraged me to call them and find out what kind of work was done so they could see if it was related to that and if there was a warranty on it. I called and got a rude person who made sure to tell me that they aren't the same ownership "so WEEE didn't do any work on the truck," she said. I asked if she could get me the information, she put me on hold for 10 minutes, then we got... disconnected. I called right back and got somebody much nicer, who told me what work they did, but was unable to email me any of the information and I guess also unable to find somebody who could do so for her. My mechanic had to call them to get them to send along the information we needed. Turns out all the issues were from the shoddy first job. Great. Better still, it would be covered by the warranty. Turns out labor there was like $300 cheaper than the place I go to now, so I'm not saying you get what you pay for. More that Precise offers a good value when they do the job well (new management, so maybe they do) I understand new ownership means that's not their fault. I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 because they didn't do the shoddy work. They just wouldn't help me at all when I needed them to. My truck is running great now, so I hope you find a mechanic as good as the one I have now. Maybe it's Precise. I don't know.
