When a different shop insisted that numerous repairs were necessary in order to stop our car from breaking down, we took it to Summers for a second opinion. They informed us that more than HALF of the repairs the other place recommended were completely unnecessary. Their prices were also much better. We've taken our cars to Summers numerous times over the last couple years and they've proven time and time again to be reliable, trustworthy, and affordable. Once, we were short on time, and they helped identify which repairs needed to happen immediately and which could wait. And the cherry on top: they ALWAYS treat me well. They explain everything. They answer all my questions respectfully. They're transparent and they're honest. Bonus: when my husband was rear-ended and we needed a body shop they recommended one that was similarly amazing. They're friendly, they're helpful, they're knowledgeable, and they're trustworthy. Can't recommend them enough.

To explain: twice work was recommended on two different family cars by different auto centers, and the recommendations seemed odd and very expensive. We went to Summers for a "second opinion." Summers has saved us literally thousands because the work was not needed at all as everything was in fine working order. In the second case it was only brake pads (not a transmission) that needed replacement. Really.

The owner Joe inspected my daughter's car with heat not working. After an inspection it was determined the water pump was going out and thankfully did not drop all the fluid on the road. Joe gave an estimate on repairs and timetable. The car was ready on time and within budget. The heat now works. The repair cost was well below that of a dealer. I talked to Joe to wrap up everything and I found him to be ethical and trusted. A rarity these days for mechanics. He let the car stay an extra day at his shop with a winter storm. Totally recommend Peacock Auto Service. 5 Stars!

I had been praying and looking for an honest mechanic for years and was dissatisfied with many places in the area. As a female, it is even harder to get an honest quote. These guys are honest, responsible, and kind. I can not say enough good about J Team. If you are like me and reading reviews trying to find a good mechanic, trust these reviews. They have 5 stars for good reason. And... my car was as clean when I picked it up, as when I brought it in. They look out for their customers. Thank you, J Team. I'll see you, but hopefully not too soon

Thanks again Shawn and Jteam.

After explaining the situation, the woman who answered the phone told me to bring it right in. When I arrived, Matthew was at the desk and immediately said he'd take care of it--he even offered to have the woman I spoke to earlier drive me home if needed. Despite being clearly busy, they had my car fixed within an hour and a half that same day. I'm 7 months pregnant and was feeling overwhelmed, but Matthew's kindness and calm demeanor truly meant the world to me. He could tell I was stressed (even I know he was probably stressed himself with the busyness of the shop) and went above and beyond to help. The pricing was fantastic, and the service was even better. I'm so grateful and appreciative--and I'll absolutely be a lifelong customer from here on out. I cannot recommend them enough. Please do yourself a favor and come here. I've gone to several car repair shops in Charlottesville and not once have had such an all around great experience like this. I can't thank them all enough and specially Matthew for turning my day around!
