Modern Automotive - Complimentary Shuttle service

Modern Automotive

Good Service. Great People. Honest. Understanding…read more I broke down mid road trip in little ol' Christiansburg VA. I was worried about finding an honest mechanic in a town I had never been to especially because I had no time to do research. Modern Automotive was the first place that came up in Google and I went there. I was in good hands. I first spoke with Thomas Morris who immediately put me at ease with his honesty and genuine problem-solving attitude. I left my car with them and continued on my trip in a rental. Through a series of MY mistakes and lack of ability to figure out how to get my car back once they had completed the work, it was left there for far more than the original time I thought it would be. But they were extremely gracious with me and helped me figure out a good solution. During this time I spoke much with Chuck Swain (Owner) over the phone. He was incredibly generous, good-hearted and honest toward me. It was so refreshing to meet honest businessmen like these, and I would recommend their service to anyone. Thank you guys.

Terrible customer service. They act like they don't want your business. Called ahead to see if I…read morecould get an inspection done. They told me I would need to leave it there all morning but what they really meant was that they didn't have the time to do it. At 1pm they admitted that they wouldn't be getting to it any time soon. I get it, things happen and things get backed up. All they needed to do was acknowledge the problem and apologize for wasting my time. Instead they handed me my keys back with a smile as if my business was a complete bother to them.

Valvoline Instant Oil Change

First I will concede that 98% of what occurred was my fault because I broke my cardinal rule of…read moregetting on the road without doing my maintenance. My MINI, just shy of 130K, inhales oil these days so the 8000-10000k recommended interval between oil changes is LAUGH OUT LOUD hysterical. I'm getting 4K at best. At. Best. We had some last minute business to take care of in VA Wednesday morning and my Tuesday was swamped. There was no way I could get the car to my trusted mechanic for an oil change. I was miffed about this since the maintenance countdown was at around 800 miles when I left. Still, I reasoned that I could just take care of it in VA (and secretly prayed I wouldn't get the low oil warning while on the highway). We made it into town fine. Last night on a 4th meal run the dang low oil light came on (3,000 miles since my last oil change mind you smh) and I said welp I'll just get an oil change anyway instead of topping it off. Now, I've only had dealer changes under maintenance plan or at my actual mechanic so living like the proletariat and going to a quickie lube service did not bring me joy. The $15 off full synthetic coupon did. As did the fact that I could sit in the car in my jammies. Ahem. I pulled up and was in the service bay within 10-15 minutes. This is when the fun started. No one could get my hood open. It's basically just a double tap on the hood once I pop it from inside. At one point there were 5 people trying to get it open. Hello - doesn't anyone YouTube??? During this roundabout the mulberry bush that was the bonnet, someone else asked where is the brake fluid? Like--- I was asked about all the services that don't actually need to be done and declined natch. Then I was told my front wipers were fine (they aren't, they're shredded like cheese) but the back one was "a little flat." It's actually perfect. I bet if I did a price comparison on front vs back wipers id fine something interesting... Again, I declined. Oil change is complete and I roll off only to see that the service light wasn't reset. So then I rolled back around lol. At one point my brother texted me "dude just get the hell out of there." That said, the employees were nice. I don't see too many MINIs in this rural town and experience is the best teacher so I guess they were learning on the fly. I was hype about the total $104 price for a full synthetic oil change. MINI and my guy typically take me behind the woodshed for $130-$140. But they also know where the brake fluid is sooooo. The real test will be if I make it the 500 miles back home unscathed. I will say though it rides like butter now, so something went right.

I'm a do-it-yourself-er on everything with my vehicles. However as I learned here in VA, State…read moresafety inspections is something you are unable to perform yourself, and need to trust a certified shop with the keys to your vehicle to perform the inspection for you. So I took on my girlfriends Chevy Sonic for the State-Inspection. Granted this place is about two minutes from where I live. I'm giving them a five star rating due to the awesome customer service. They even brought me home as they were a bit booked and would be a few hours before getting to the car for inspection. The only down vote I would give, is the up-sell attempt of a cabin air-filter replacement for $59.99. Most filters are about $20 and take less then twenty seconds to install. But I suppose they are just trying to make a profit to keep the lights on. So I will not penalize a star from them. Over all great and quick experience. Will likely bring my tires to mount on my wheels when needed.

Update: 4 months later and during my state inspection, the mechanic found my coolant was extremely…read morelow. After a pressure test, the issue was the exact hose Firestone replaced... Come to find out, the heater hose that had been replaced wasn't even on correctly!! It was sliding on and off and would not click into place. I don't know if the gave me the wrong size hose, a faulty hose, or just didn't care enough to do it correctly, but there's no reason why it should break within 4 months. The reason I didn't fully dump coolant was because the hose expands when the car runs, so it creates a good seal. When it cools, since it wasn't on right, my car slowly leaked coolant over several months. I'm so glad that I ended up only paying 220 for this hose, because the original quote was over $600. If I had paid over 600 to get a hose that would break in less than a year, I'd be furious. I am still pretty upset because my mechanic thinks that Firestone just forced the hose to fit on there when it shouldn't have been. I will not take my car here again, that's for sure!

When they called me back, they told me they couldn't find anything wrong with the tire, even after they took it off the vehicle and everything. Since nothing was wrong, they didn't charge me any fee or anything! They even replaced the valve on the tire for free for me incase it just wasn't reading right. They even checked things like my break pads and battery. Thankfully, they found out my battery (less than a year old) was almost dead! Thank god they checked or I could've been stranded somewhere. Michael was the individual who called me back I believe, so I assume he was one who worked on my car. Thank you NTB and Michael for your help and service. If anything is ever wrong with my car, I know where to go!

I called them up while we were waiting for our tow and we discussed if they had the tire in stock or if we could just go with what they did have. The person I spoke to was so helpful, she looked up the tire and said it needed to be ordered. I was also told they could replace all four tires and get us on our way that day. We ended up going with that option and were able to be towed to the NTB in time to get that done. Joe and his team kept us informed throughout and got us on our way as soon as they could. Everyone was just so helpful, we are beyond grateful for the help and courteousness.

Stay away. I went in for a simple muffler replacement (verified by 2 other shops). They quoted me…read more$250 & said they had the muffler in stock. When I arrived, Steve said he had it put on a lift and they "discovered" that all of the pipes and joints were so rusty, that he was afraid that when he started cutting into it, that basically the entire undercarriage would have to be replaced : large rear muffler, large front muffler, the small muffler we spoke about, ALL the piping and "probably more". I asked how much and was told "at least $1200". They said they'd order the parts for the next day. When I left, I could hear odd knocking on the bottom and the smell of exhaust in the front cabin that wasn't there before, or ever. I called back the next day to report this and was blown off with "ma'am, you have an exhaust leak and the knocking you are hearing is because you probably drove over something". I knew then they were not on the up and up, so I played along and asked if my parts came in. They said yes, all but one. I asked what they were missing and was told "a part". He kept saying "just a part" but would not tell me WHAT part. Finally I was forceful and told him I needed the name of "the part". . Steve finally said, the Catalytic Converter. Horses***!. He said I needed that too. Tack on another several hundred dollars, plus labor. Scammers! I took it somewhere else the next morning, and the only thing it needed was the muffler, parts & labor $95. I've heard of stories like this, but, wow, the level of deception was criminal.

great guys, and reasonable prices and upfront and honest…read moreFixed a problem that I was left with from another local memchanic
