My 17 yr old daughter brought her well maintained truck up here for an inspection. They failed her and gave her 2 pages of issues with her truck. Even sent her a pic of the "nail in her tire". I had her take it to another shop where she was told she has no issues that would stop her from getting a passing inspection. Are there things we should address yea but nothing major to cause her to break down. The nail in the tire didn't even exist!! It was a picture of someone else's tire or pulled from the internet! How these people sleep at night knowing they are scamming the very people in their community is mind blowing to me.

They proved that you can still treat people with kindness, dignity and respect and "EARN" their business. We will be customers for life. Thank you!

I did a search, found Williamsburg Automotive Repair, and crossed my fingers. After inspecting it was determined my brakes were fine and they called my husband to let them know it could wait.

Thank you for being an HONEST business.....we have four drivers in our home and we have found the place we will return for car maintenance. If you want an honest opinion, car care you can trust....this is the place for you!

Told em to put rejection sticker on it as they were not going to rip me off. Basically as photo shows just needed to put end into bracket and screw a new bolt on. Not sure how they came up with $240. They also said it passes now but sway bar bushings would need to be replaced and quoted $400 something bucks. Bushings are not expensive and doesn't take long to replace those.

I was told they still had to do their diagnostic and charged me $60. Their diagnosis was the same as mine. I was told the fix is a $20 part, some new wire and labor ($200). I agreed and paid the $60 diagnostic and approved the $200 repair. I got my Jeep back and the lights were off. A few days later, the exact same lights and code came back!!! I called Jerry's and they said they would look at it and it was warranted for 90 days. The next day, I was told that the problem was the ABS pump and its now $2200. Why did they do a diagnostic and tell me the fix if all they were going to do was start changing parts hoping they could fix it? If I wanted to change parts until I got it right, I could have done that myself! I expected a lot more from a shop that considered themselves a professional auto mechanic shop. The girls up front at the counter were friendly but the work performed lacked any sign of being professional.
