    Since I work at ODU, this auto service is convenient when I need to have basic maintenance on my car such as state inspections, tire service, and the like as well as emergency auto repair.

Backed up or not enough workers....they just have insanely poor service and managerial skills. Last straw- I just dropped my car off for an oil change and inspection and they called saying it was ready after 3 hrs. When I show up, they had failed to do the state inspection. WHY DID YOU CALL ME IN. They said they could keep it but it won't be done until Friday...it's currently Tues. Just go somewhere else or assume it will take a week to do anything.

    This is a first come, first served type of automotive repair establishment located on Joint…read moreExpeditionary Base Little Creek Fort Story (JEBLC FS). Access to it is granted by having access to the base itself. I've purchased tires here in the past and plan to have some automotive repairs done here that will save me at lease 52% than if I had it done at the dealership. Plenty of people on staff here but not everyone is cordial. I try not to let it bother me but at times it lessens the experience of customer service. For example, I stood in line to be helped while a few of the ladies bitched and complained about the schedule, work load etc. Finally, the guy asks me what can he help me with and I'll be damned if the women didn't start babbling to the point that we had to step away from the counter to have the discussion on what I needed. Weekend hours are available and when the NEX has their scratch offs, you can apply it towards the cost of tires and parts but not labor for your car. An assortment of automotive supplies like car wash items, car fresheners, glass cleaner etc. It's like a smaller version of Autozone. In the event you're buying tires; they do price match if you find them for less at another merchant. Have an estimate or ad and they'll verify it. Capable of accepting credit cards, cash and contactless pay. There is a parking lot but it's a small challenge to get a spot. To locate them, they are on the right hand side of the road before you get to the commissary and Navy Exchange. Overall, a benefit to have this option on base for repairs but sometimes those who work here get a little too comfy with their job security.

Overall, I'm hopeful that I was given the truth and an honest response when I arrived to get my car inspected. I'm a young female and know zero information about cars, let alone the mechanics of how everything works and runs efficiently if that helps preface anything about this review... but I went in yesterday to get my car inspected. Made an appointment for 9:15 AM and arrived around 8:55/9:00 AM. Was told about 30-45 minutes into my visit that my car had an airbag light on that would cause an inspection failure. They decide to connect my car to the computer to run the diagnostic tests to see what was up with causing the light to appear. Another 25-30 minutes rolls by and the shop is getting busy with foot traffic of customers looking to attend to appointments or make them for the future. The man comes back about 30-45 min after the diagnostic test was ran to let me know they figured out that the light was coming on due to an airbag located in the middle-rear area of my car and that they would have to remove the seats and the to fix the wire. I then asked for a loosely quoted price and was told it would all just depend on this wire and the time but nothing else was said, price wise. I mentioned that I couldn't and wouldn't like to afford anything around and over $500 and the man was hopeful that it wouldn't be that much. Another hour later and the man was able to fix the airbag light by adjusting the wire and was able to pass my car for inspection. Great news!! As I'm still trying to inquire about the price, to prepare myself, the man still can't tell me anything exact, which I understand, but then drops this bomb that it will be "labor + fixing of the part" and that "labor is $125/hr. And he announced I had already been waiting for my vehicle for 2 hours so just figure that plus the price of the part (which I was never told how much it actually was). Looking back at my receipts, I was only given the inspection paper to keep for my records and my payment receipts were attached. I never signed or received anything that stated the name of the part that was faulty and/or how much it would cost to replace it or re-wire it or whatever he did to fix it. I'm also annoyed and curious to know that I was only told about how much labor cost was per hour, at the 2 Hour marking in my visit... nothing was posted or mentioned that labor would be the $125/hr. I don't mind the fact that they need to charge that much hourly, but let me know or disclose it through a conversation or memo needing a signature that when you are needing work done this is the price per hour plus whatever the cost of the parts will be as well. For 2 hours of labor and fixing the wire for the airbag plus tax, it cost just $2 shy of $400.00 and the best and most comedic part was that the mechanic delivering me the news, seemed like I would be thrilled by this price because that was even "including discounts". Man, was that a real knee slapper! Looking back, I'm pretty sure it just wasn't a great fit for me because I like as much transparency as possible when dealing with a higher balance for me. To some, $400 is chump change so it just depends on the person, situation and visit. My experience is nothing like what someone else will have. I would still recommend others to try them out and support local; they need it.
