This is maybe my second visit here within about a four-year span but however every time I visit the…read moreguys here are a super friendly and on point. However, I do call ahead of time to make sure that the parts are available and the two times that I visited here everything has been available and ready for pick up at the front desk. I actually have a mechanic that I work and he has a reputable reputation with the company as well so everything works out perfectly... availability and deals! The store is a little hard to spot from the road but if you have any GPS system it should guide you spot on! I used my Google Maps without worry. The shop is kind of small however they do have a few shelves of items that you can browse around to see if it's anything else that you need for your vehicle but they mainly specialize in imported cars. And store is pretty much for stocking items and not so much on the main floor. The building does appear larger from outside. No sugar coating here... they're definitely straight and to the point with you. A great group of guys. Parking is alongside the store on the street or there is parking directly behind the building. Be careful heading back on the main street... super busy area of Norfolk. They usually close at 6 during the week and a little earlier on Saturday...call ahead to verify. Oh and if you visit before I do be sure to check in and ask if their check-in offer is valid. Savings await - possibly! Have fun | enjoy life

A few things that is preventing this from being a 5 start it is feel like the communications between the services here are lacking. One day saying everything is done and the vehicle is going to detail the following day and I call two days later to find out it still needs service done. To the vehicle is waiting to get detailed to they are waiting on service. Then told it would be ready for pick-up and get there and detailing hasn't even seen it. Took 13 days for me to finally get my new(to-me) car. Wendy did push it through and I finally got my car. I can finally start doing all the paperwork I need to with the dmv for said vehicle.

I want to start by saying that we have been dealing with 518 Auto for years, and it has always been…read moreour go-to place since they first opened. We have typically worked directly with Kyle, the owner, especially because our children drive these vehicles and he truly values safety. This time, however, we worked with Mark. Things started off well. I made it clear that the vehicle was for my son, and initially, Mark seemed attentive. He even asked for a Yelp review while I was signing the paperwork, but I prefer to wait until the entire process is completed before leaving a review. Unfortunately, after the paperwork was signed, the experience went downhill. The vehicle needed servicing because the battery would not start. Mark informed my son that a part had to be ordered and that the car would be ready on Monday or Tuesday. Monday passed, and on Tuesday (1/13/26), Mark texted my son stating the vehicle would be ready at 1:00 PM. When my son and husband arrived on Tuesday, things became frustrating. They were told that the temporary tags Ms. Hall had prepared were misplaced. My husband also noticed that Mark seemed more focused on selling cars to other customers rather than assisting the customer who was standing right in front of him. It felt as though my son and his vehicle were no longer a priority since the paperwork was signed. When the car was finally started, it became clear that there was no gas in the vehicle. Mark continued running the car despite this and stated he was too busy to get gas, yet the car could not be moved off the lot. The car eventually ran out of gas right there. Mark then said he would send someone to get gas. After waiting for some time, someone arrived with a gas can, filled the vehicle, and Mark said everything was fine. However, once my husband got into the car to finally leave, he realized that the windows and radio were not working. Because of this, we were unable to even check the heating and cooling to see how it worked. My husband went back inside to inform Mark, but instead of addressing the issue, Mark told him hold on, made a phone call, spoke briefly to others, stated he was leaving, and walked out leaving my husband standing in the parking lot without any explanation. Before my husband could become more upset, AJ stepped in thankfully. I want to sincerely thank AJ, Alex, Ms. Hall, and Scott for stepping up and helping us through this situation. Their efforts did not go unnoticed. They worked together as a team to help resolve the issue. While we are still waiting for the vehicle to be fully serviced, AJ and Scott went above and beyond by providing us with a loaner car in the meantime. Because of them, our confidence in 518 Auto has not been completely lost, and we truly appreciate their professionalism and support.

I work in downtown Norfolk which is the irony of it all. Isaac had a positive attitude, helped me, explained which direction the arrows of the filter needed to go and the filter fit like a glove. I really appreciate him taking the time to help me and save me the drive around VB and Norfolk looking for a filter that fits like it's supposed to.

Without hesitation, Isaac came from the back to check the code. I told him I had tried cleaning the throttle body, so he asked some follow-up questions on how I cleaned it. After hearing my account and knowing the ins-and-outs of air intake cleaning, he emphasized the importance of a thorough cleaning. He gave me the courage to clean the throttle body with more rigor, and it solved the problem. After running several errands to verify the check engine light was gone, I called Advance to thank Isaac. He happened to answer the phone, and he audibly cheered when I told him his advice fixed the problem. All in all a great experience without even a dollar exchanged. 10/10 or even 100/10.

They perform free on-site battery checks and also have a loaner OBD II diagnostic tool to scan (and erase) vehicle computer codes. On most occasions, they hold your drivers license as collateral. Recently, they've been going to your vehicle themselves, likely because there have been "episodes?" Most employees are service oriented with a few persnickety outliers. Javier is probably my go-to guy at this location for friendliness and general knowledge. It's always nice when you're working on a project car, AKA my life as a Father, and you're greeted by his familiar face as he says "how's the repair on the QX4 going?" Moreover, he told me that O'Reillys price matches in-stock Amazon items exclusively sold/shipped by Amazon. This is a huge game changer when it comes to frugal bargain car part shopping; plan ahead though because they can't guarantee 2 day shipping. I will say, this may be dependent on who's working as another employee recently refuted this claim.

The technician working on my car informed me and showed me first-hand that both of my front rims were bent badly (most likely due to the crappy roads in VA) and referred me to another shop for repair. Greatly appreciated the information and brought to light why my steering wheel would shake badly when going above 40mph. Ended up shifting the newly replaced tires from the front to the back as the tech advised to reduce the "shaking" until i could repair the rim damage. Any other shop would have just replaced the tires as requested and not inform me of the rim damage. Highly recommend their service.

When you buy car batteries from Advance Auto Parts, make a calendar reminder to have it checked periodically so that you can take advantage of the warranty that will replace any defective battery within the stated period. He graciously installed the new battery for me with no charge. I never felt duped or pressured into buying items that I didn't need or understand. I don't claim to be a guru when it comes to car parts and accessories so I do appreciate the honesty and willingness to help. Located in the Southern Shopping Center, the store has its own small parking lot. They do offer a 10% military discount but if you sign up to receive their emails; you'll find various promotions that tout 20% off when you order online for delivery or pick up in the store. An overall positive experience and I'll continue to patronize this business for my car care needs and accessories. They are able to look you up by telephone number if you need your order history. If an item isn't in stock, they'll check their database to see what nearby location has it or have it special ordered. Most people would think they'd just have the little tree air fresheners and items to wash your car but they have an array of products to keep your car looking good, smelling good and running even better.
