Very friendly service for all of your automotive repair needs. They are courteous throughout the entire process of scheduling an appointment, dropping off your vehicle, explanation of service or repairs, and the pick up. They recently renovated their office area making it a comfortable place if you decide to wait. read more

I used to trust Temple automotive with all my vehicle needs and was happy to give them my business. No more. When my vehicle needed tires and brakes, that's when things took a turn for the worse. Derrick wanted me to bring the vehicle in so he could look at the brakes. So I drove to see him. He gave me a long story about how I needed calibers and rotors as well as brakes. When it came to the quote for brakes, rotors, calibers and tires, he became angry at the computer and said he couldn't handle it right now and that he'd call me back soon to set up an appointment. After a few days, he never called. I stopped by to ask about setting up an appointment and he gave another story about how busy he was and that he promised he would call as soon as he had time. That was over a month ago, and Derrick never called. I ended up taking my rig to a new mechanic and was happy I did. The new mechanic gave me a much better rate on tires, and all he needed to replace was the brakes. Oh, and it was done on the same day I took the rig in for a quote. I don't know what I did to offend Derrick, but when I stopped by his place to ask about why he never called I got the impression that he wasn't ever going to call, and I was right. I don't like leaving bad reviews, but the owner lied to my face, tried to sell me repairs I didn't need, and quoted me crazy prices for tires. I don't trust this business and will encourage everyone I know in Dinwiddie to steer clear. There are much more honest mechanics out there that actually do what they say they'll do. read more

Used them multiple times since moving to this area. Fair prices. Great service. Friendly staff. Quick turn around time.

Always able to fix any problem with your car or truck at a fair cost. Would recommend Temple Auto to anyone needing any major or minor repairs. read more

I had heard that Temple is the place to go for repairs in Dinwiddie. So when a water pump gasket went out, I had my car towed there. A bonus is that at the time I lived within walking distance of the place. First, I'll say that they apparently did a competent job, and at a reasonable price. Less than $200, which for that job on that car is not out of line. But it took over a week to do. I get that they're busy, and they had to order the gasket (an o-ring). So it goes. The real issue for me was one of attitude on the part of the owner's, or someone acting like the owner. Not sure, and frankly it doesn't matter. The car was towed on Saturday. On Monday I went in and talked with someone who was polite, helpful, and who told me they'd call once they diagnosed the problem. The same fellow called me Tuesday or Wednesday, told me what was going on, that they'd ordered the gasket, and it would be done by Thursday or Friday. Fine, I had another vehicle to drive. When I didn't hear back by Monday I called to ask, and a different guy - for some reason I think it was the owner, but maybe not - told me it would be ready when they got to it, and then asked if I expected to be put ahead of others, or something like that. Seriously? I'd suggested no such thing, and was kind of surprised at his saying that. Maybe he was having a bad day. Maybe the folks at Temple don't talk to each other about their schedule. But no need to be rude. So I thanked him and waited. I think the original guy called me back on Tuesday or Wednesday, said it was ready and how much it cost. Done. Based on the rudeness of that one fellow (the owner?), and the time it took for a simple job, I decided to look elsewhere for future maintenance and repair work. Which is tough, because there are few shops in Dinwiddie (that I'm aware of). Fortunately, Dewitt Tire has been a pleasure to deal with. So I guess I have that guy at Temple to thank for the incentive to look at Dewitt. It worked out well for me. Between my two older vehicles and some friends' vehicles, Dewitt has received a pretty decent chunk of business as a result. read more
