I took my car to NTP where they told me that there is a seal problem but no evidence of a hole (or the repair of one). Honesty is huge with me when I go to any service place. I will not be back to Fitzgerald's again. I hope he enjoyed my $20. I certainly did not have the opportunity.

Good experience at McCarthy Tire Service…read more I had a flat tire on my boat trailer. It's a much smaller tire than what is found on a typical automobile. I took it to a tire service place down the block from where I live. They told me they couldn't fix such a small tire (4.80/4.00-8). OK, I have no problem if someone tells me they don't do certain jobs for whatever reason. I DID have a problem with the man telling me that I should just throw it away and buy another one. Really? Replace a $90 tire because it leaks? This place is not likely to get business from me in the future. So I went to McCarthy Tire Service this morning and asked the man if he could repair my leaky tire. He said, "Sure. You wanna wait? Or you wanna come back in an hour?" I told him I'd run errands and return. I came back in an hour. "What do I owe you?" "Nothing. Repeat customers and word of mouth will take care of it." So I'm telling readers of yelp.com. Both of the attendants at McCarthy Tire were very nice, they repaired my tire, AND, they told me they could overhaul the non-functioning 50 year-old hydraulic floor jack that I had in the trunk of my car. So I left it with them. If they can successfully rebuild it, great! If they're not successful, what do I have to lose? My old floor jack looks to be better made than the $100 new ones that look like they are made of stamped tinfoil. The men at McCarthy Tire Service have the right attitude. I'd give them my business anytime. McCarthy Tire Service (434) 295-8041 1028 River Rd. Charlottesville VA 22901 http://www.mccarthytire.com

Needless to say, the repair was fine, but the care taken by Greg, Vince, and Schuyler is what really makes this the place to go to.

This auto shop is seriously so honest and truthful. They live up to their motto and name. I called…read morethem to get a quote about break pad replacements because another auto shop was quoting me $900. The first auto shop was telling me that my breaks were at 2/32 of an inch remaining and that I needed to promptly replace my front break pads, drums, and rear. The first auto shop told me that the gears were now metal on metal. For context, I left my car idle for 2 weeks and every time I would break there was a low murmur. My car only has 70K miles on it. The Straight Up mechanic said I probably do not need my rear break pads replaced. The Straight Up mechanic assured me over the phone that this can be explained by rust build-up and what I was hearing was perfectly normal, but he would need to inspect it to see what I would actually need to get done. When I brought in my car, the mechanic inspected my bread pads front and rear. He promptly told me I did not need any replacements and that the first auto shop was lying about what work my car needed done. Straight Up did not charge me anything at all, even for checking my break pads. I highly recommend this place to anyone because they are honest and will not take advantage of you. If I ever need my car serviced, I will for sure bring my car back here.

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.

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.
