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!

Meghan was very courteous when I walked in and asked about getting the car inspected, and she managed my expectations by saying it might be late afternoon before they could get to it. Not a big deal, so I decided to leave it with them and catch an Uber to work. She called me before noon to let me know my car passed inspection and was ready to go. When I went back to pay for the inspection and get my car, I discovered that not only did they inspect and pass my car, but they also did a minor task that wasn't related to the inspection for no extra charge...without me even asking for it...a nice surprise! They really went above and beyond to make it a good experience. I will definitely be giving them more business in the future.

Donna, is incredible and what a lot people fail to realize, this lady does the clerical work and jumps in to help out in the garage, I have seen people team her over coals - not knowing that she is busting her tail, just as much as a man does. I like to consider myself, an honest person and going after someone as hard working as her - really sets me on fire!! These people bust their hard-working tails off to provide the best auto service in the City of Waynesboro, so show them respect please. This is not pointed to everyone, just those (I don't know other customers may be going through - but an ounce of kindness is good for the soul). Any woo, for those looking for down-to-earth, honest, and excellent workmanship, this place is for you!!

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.
