Plus, Ted only does the work I need, no pressure too add additional work That I don't need. I trust Ted with my truck and I have complete confidence in his work. read more

Ted's Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I took my Chevy down to Ted's on a tip from a friend. He did some front end work for me. Real nice guy and just one of those fun guys to talk to. Not in a rush to get you out the door and just turn and burn. He takes his time and has one helper, Jordan. Both guys really enjoy what they do and it's obvious they work well together. While I was chatting with Ted, 2 other fellas came by to borrow some equipment and another guy called for some advice. Ted gave me a very fair price. Best part is I dealt with Ted directly. The OWNER. He's got one lift. TED worked on my truck. Not just some feller who has no real interest in the business. That makes a huge difference to me. He's right next to Bee and Biscuit. read more

Ted had helped my multiple times with my 86 F350. From searching for a new steering column and taking one from his personal collection to taking care of my vehicle while I have been underway with the navy. Service is always top notch and my vehicle is running great due to him and his team. Usually answers his phone within the our of texting and some with calling. Won't take my truck anywhere else until he retires or closes shop. read more

Ted has worked on one of my sons' truck a couple of times. He has regeared and flushed the transmission and power steering system during the first trip there. Everything was done with perfect outcomes and very reasonable prices. The second time he fit the truck in during a pinch. I contacted him first thing in the morning about some engine issues that appeared the night before. My son was taking the truck out of town the following morning. Ted fit us in and had the truck fixed and ready to go in a couple of hours. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and fair priced. I would highly recommend the shop for all truck needs. read more

So lets start off with are Jeep was a F ing nightmare!!! They guy we brought it from screwed us over so bad with his lies and back yard mechanicing. 5 other shops could do nothing to fix the overheating problems or transmission issues. And kept telling us because of how bad it was done we were screwed. Then we went to Ted. From the get go he told us he would do what he can but was sure he could fix it. With every step we were sent pics of what he was working in and if things needed to be replaced. Now this jeep runs strong and has no over heating problem. And this was not a easy job. He redid the entire radiator assembly so it was located in the most efficient location. Then the transmission kick his but only because of the owner before us. But Ted never gave up and kept tinkering till it was perfect. This guy is honest and true. I trust what ever he tells me because he could of taken us for thousands and thousands of dollars. But his price for everything was more then fare. And anytime we have a question he responds immediately and does not care if we just stop by. For a guy who is a ford shop he is great at Frankenstein jeeps as well. He did such a great job i also brought him our 78 ford to work on as well. And like always did a great job and were super satisfied. So i give him 5 starts all day every day! read more

Came highly recommended. Gave him a call about an axle swap, axle rebuild and gears replacement on 92 F250. He gave me a quote that was more than fair and kept me informed throughout the build ended up saving money as parts didn't need replacing. This is a shop that want charge you for something that doesn't need fixing. Unbelievable service, you don't find shops like this anymore!!!! read more

If I could give Ted's Automotive 10 stars I would. My daughter's jeep broke down in front of Pungo Pizza Friday afternoon. We'd put a lot of money into the jeep over the past month for a water pump, ball joints, tires and a fuel pump. Finding a shop open on Saturday in the area was difficult and Ted's was no exception but I explained that my daughter had to leave for college on Sunday and I was stuck. He said I could have her Jeep towed there and he would look at it. We had AAA tow the jeep to the shop. Saturday morning Ted called to inform me it was the fuel pump. I told him we had it changed less than a month ago (in Richmond where she broke down last time). He called back a while later to tell me he called the manufacturer and they would cover the fuel pump and we would only be responsible for the labor. Ted went out of his way to make sure our daughter's jeep was ready for her to get back to school by calling the manufacturer and working on Saturday. I felt I had to write a review because of the way we were treated and any repairs I'm sure we'll need in the future will be taken to Ted's Automotive. I'm happy to report my daughter made it back to school on time ( a 6 hr drive ) and feel I have Ted to thank for it. read more

I have been a fan of Ted's Automotive for the past 10 years when I had my 1993 Ford Bronco's engine and transmission replaced there. The vehicle has run perfectly the past ten years and recently Ted helped me again by successfully diagnosing and fixing a rear differential posi-traction issue. Bottom line, Ted is a Ford Master Mechanic that specializes in Bronco's, but is also very good at repairing other makes of vehicles. Whenever I've had a problem with my Bronco Ted has been able to diagnose and fix the problem correctly and at a reasonable price. There is no better Ford mechanic in the area! Because of his expertise and knowledge Ted stays busy, so if you're in a hurry he may not be the right technician for you. However, if you want the diagnosis and work done correctly you can't find a better mechanic. read more

Honest and priced right every time. Ted has helped me turn around several older model F150's and Broncos over the years. And if something is not his forte' he knows who to send you to. That is truly being honest - to turn away work - so that you get the best quality service. Everything from simple stuff (fuel pump, alternator) etc... To our 1994 Bronco: complete rebuilds of engine & transmission at 199,999 miles! New motors for both front and rear windows, upgraded the 4 x 4, and more. Truck was running so sweet that a co-worker wouldn't leave me alone until I sold it to him. Yes - Occasionally, he takes a little longer. Think about this - it is because he is in demand with those of us who know better. If you want to go corporate repair shop and pay through the nose so you can get your ride back in half a day - do it - it's a free country. Some of us who know a thing or two prefer a tradesman who cares about his work, the vehicles, and the people who will be driving them. read more

Had transfer case repair done. Wait for over a week, even 2 weeks and pay close to thousand dollars. Get it back and the problem isn't fixed. Very disappointing, knowing he's "great" when it comes to Bronco work. Don't know what to think after this. read more
