Excellent, fast service, great price. I was the 5th in line first thing on a Friday morning and they replaced my rear brake pads, fixed my parking lights, and inspected my car in less than an hour! The service was excellent, everyone was friendly. I have found my new favorite automotive place.
They do good quality work at a reasonable price. You have to come very early as they are busy and fill up fast. I got my AC fixed and broken sensor changed.
Best shop in hampton roads! Honestly the most honest mechanics, Richard is the greatest man alive. Highly recommend them over the rest!
Beach Auto is the best place in town to take your vehicle for any type of service. They are knowledgeable, honest, friendly, efficient and charge very reasonable rates for their service. Ive been taking my vehicles there for years and know I can count on them for a good job. I would highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.
There is one of the very few places I will trust with my car Ive always gotten excellent service In a timely manner thanks guys
Replaced air conditioning compressor. When picking up it had parts dangling. On vacation and lost time in enjoyment.
Been going there for years always Honest With us about Vehicles. What more can you ask for.
The best repair shop in the area!
The technician Dustin kept me updated constantly and everyone was super friendly. Good my old explorer working like new! I would come here for everything if they were closer to my house!
Couldnt have had a better experience, Karl took care of my charger and had me back on the road by the next day and at a great price. I recommend this place to everyone and look forward to future business..
Suggested this place by a friend years ago. Since, my family and I have taken our cars only there. It is hard to find a reputable shop where you dont have to check your fluids and connections after its serviced. Locally owned and community involved
The service was excellent. I took my car in for a inspection. I got an up date that it passed. And it was ready. Before the time the give me. This is my 3rd year going there.
Best service in town and has been for the last 25 years Ive known them
Great service. Old school automotive expertise and very fair and honest.
I do all of my own work to my collection of vehicles. Have been self sustainable due to no trust for mechanics from previous experiences. Take all of my vehicles here for inspections and trust this family owned company very much!!!!Took one of my built cars here recently and Karl was much help with my dilemma. Thank you to you and the professional establishment!!!
I have an older car and these guys do wonderful work at a great price!
Been going here for my mechanic work for decades now. Never disappointed. Professional and honest.
Great service, fast and professional
Quick service, fair prices, straight talk. Great indepently owned spot.
Always the best automobile service center in Hampton Roads....trust me.
It was the end of the month and I had to wait a little while to get my car inspected but I got it inspected and the oil change and it really didnt take that long amazing customer service
The best.
The absolute best place to service your vehicle. Trustworthy, dependable and superior reputation. Richard, in particular, is THE Master Technician in the area.
Fantastic service. Dropped the car off without an appointment to get a tire repaired and an inspection, and even though they were super busy it was done in a couple hours and they gave me a friendly call! No extra charges or unnecessary stuff. They are awesome!
My car is twenty years old and owner Gary Kimnach and head mechanic Richard Davis have been keeping my car going since I first bought it all those years ago. What makes this business stand out is the code of ethics and honesty both of these men live by. They are completely trustworthy and absolutely reliable. I love this family run business and remain grateful to the entire staff who work there. Kudos to Connie and Jody at the front desk to. They’re always friendly, helpful and courteous.
This is the best auto repair at the Beach. I take my cars there even though I have warranty left T the dealer.
The staff was very friendly and informative. They were able to fix my car quickly and at an affordable price. They worked with my schedule too. I appreciated how they did not try to add on or sell me unnecessary services. Will definitely become a returning customer.
Richard and his team are The Best!
Super fast. Shawn & Matt recommended me :) happy with my service every time
I was out within an hour for inspection...nice atmosphere..friendly...I went there last year..will go back again.
I could spend a lot of time to say that this is a good place. Go there at 7am and you will need to wait a line, thats shows that quality lives in this place.
Ive known Richard for years. Theyre great people and can trust them to do a good job for you. Always have for me.
Great service. Totally honest in all that they do. Very reasonable prices. Only thing preventing 5 stars is that they dont make appointments. They want you to show up at 7am and either leave your car or wait. I dont do 7am.
My boyfriend and I were traveling from PA, pulling our camper. We were staying in the Virginia Beach area. We realized that we had a bad U Joint on the Truck. We found Beach Automobile Service near the camp ground we were staying at. They were extremely helpful and friendly. They were able to get are truck fixed and we were back on the road finishing out are vacation and not missing a thing. We really appreciated all that they did for us and the great work they did, and at a great price.
I am still in awe with how kind and thorough this shop is.Mat touched base with me and explained what would benefit my car. Taking time to go through the check list I made and break it down for me.Connie was a very pleasant woman who made it comfortable to walk in and ask questions.I was referred here by a few different folks and it is clear why.Im a draft woman when it comes to cars and they treated me with respect and kindness.
I have used Beach Automotive for years now. They are friendly, have reasonable prices and very fast!I’ve used them for brakes, oil changes, inspections, etc. Always great service.Case in point: my car inspection was due. I dropped it off around 8 and was called at 9:48 saying my car was ready!Highly recommended!
Beach Auto does great work at reasonable prices. I wouldnt use any other mechanics
Wonderful service. Very honest and trustworthy people. Highly recommend!
Service was very good and all of the staff is helpful. This is my go to place for any minor service my car needs; they charge very reasonable prices and get the job done quickly. Their parking lot is packed most of the time, so it can be hard to find a spot occasionally.
Great people, great honest work!
As always great service! Brought my car in at 7am for a state inspection and there were already 6 people waiting! 50 mins and my car was ready! Great customer service and honest Mechanics!
Very efficient fast service a very polite I enjoyed my experience
Heres a truth you can take to the bank folks.Ive been dealing with Beach Automotive Service Center for 20+ years.These guys are honest, courteous, sincere, and very capable mechanics that really do Look Out For You!Ive moved within the past year, and I still go out of my way to take All of my vehicles to them and really only them for anything that needs to be worked on.They have Always stood by their work, and their word is worth its weight in exceptionally good service. A Rare find nowadays.If you have a vehicle that needs good care, Beach Automotive is there.
Fair prices, pleasant service, no pressure to do unnecessary work. Ive purchased new tires there, had A/C repaired, oil changes and state inspections done, very happy with everything.
Very best auto repair shop i have ever been to by far! Couldnt ask for better service or price. Feel like i can really trust these guys and would recommend to anyone. Thanks so much for all your help on such short notice guys!
Beach Automotive is the best service department in the city! They are professional, efficient, and knowledgeable of vehicle problems and needed repairs. They do not recommend unnecessary services as is often done with other companies. I would, and have recommended this service department to others. You will be pleased with the service you receive from Beach Automotive!Karen Hatfield
Customers Service Great
Very impressed with the service and speed I recieved this morning. They did not nickel and dime me over costs. I saw two of the mechanics helping to push a stranded car of the road into the shop. The owner also worked out a payment deal with another customer. The mechanic directly told each customer what needed to be fixed, what the cost would be and how long it would take before doing the repair. They treated me with kindness and respect. Conveniently located to 264 in the oceanfront area. I will be going back to beach auto next time I need a repair and skipping the dealer.
Very deserving of the praise they receive. Awesome
Beach Automobile Service exemplifies small town USA service. Everytime I take my vehicle to be serviced or inspected there its as if I stepped back in time. To a time when servicing customers was a priority and courtesy was a priority.
They always do a great job! We bring both of our vehicles there for service or repairs. The service manager Richard, is the best!Weve been customers with them for over 10 years, and wouldnt trust our vehicles with anyone else but Beach Automotive.Our only complaint is that they need a bigger building because they have such a huge customer base. They will not do you wrong.Highly recommended!
Thank you Gary, Richard, and crew!Early bird inspection was outstanding, in and out inforty five minutes. Honest, dependable, qualified,and priced right. What more? Great coffee, and smiles.We appreciate you!Kitchen & Bath Ideas
Loved it. Was referred to this place by a friend. Definitely will refer friends & family!
Great local honest auto repair
Courteous and honest shop.
I had my car inspected elsewhere and they said I need 4 new tires, an alignment, and brakes.Decided to take my car to Beach Automobile and explained the services I thought I needed based on the last place. After looking over my car, they only recommended 2 tires needing to be replaced and an alignment. Saving me money I did not need to spend at this time.Staff was courtesy and friendly. They called me with the pricing prior to performing the service.
The first and usually only place we take our 4 vehicles. Beach auto is honest and wont try to sell you services until they are absolutely needed. If it is a repair they do not do, they suggest another place that could fix the problem. Beach auto prices are completely fair and they stand behind their repairs.
Great neighborhood garage. Very friendly and honest
Richard and team are the best around . They are fair, honest, reasonable, and knowledgeable. If it doesnt need to be fixed right then, theyll tell you how long to wait and then come back. They stand behind their work. I have several vehicles Ive been taking to them for years. And no theyre not paying me to say this (but if they want to...hehe). They are just that good !!
I went in for a state inspection today and only had to wait about an hour. Quick and friendly service.
This shop is always consistent with the level of care and maintenance they perform on my vehicles. They don’t cut corners and they don’t rip me off. The term “honest mechanic” seems oxymoronic, but it actually applies to the staff @ Beach Auto. Shout out to Richard especially- he’s the man.
Beach Auto does good work. They make sure they understand what I want; work quickly and thoroughly; give a full description of what they saw and did – all at a reasonable price. When we had out of town guests, Beach Auto did a guick adjustment at no charge.
I HAVE FINALLY FOUND A PLACE I CAN TRUST!
Great service center. Take our company vehicles from Conert Solar here
Customer friendly service! Very reliable service! Ive had no issues. The technician had been very honest with their recommendations
Excellent Service and very honest. No up-selling and work always done as promised and on time! Richard is always very helpful and honest. Thanks Beach Auto!
Last week I had to bring my car into the shop because it wasnt starting properly. Sometimes it wouldnt start at all. Sometimes it would start on the 3rd or 4th try. It would just make that horrible clicking noise. You know which one Im talking about. We dropped it off at Beach Automobile Service Center on Birdneck Road. Richard, their service manager called us and said they think its the battery. But then called back and after some testing they think its the starter or possibly the Immobilizer. We agreed to start with replacing the starter. Done. Everything seemed fine. Pick it up that day. Over the next couple days it started to do the clicking thing again. So we started to Google and do some research. Found out it could quite possibly be the ground wire to the battery and there were others who had this same issue on the same year, model vehicle. We dropped it off on Thursday night. When we heard back from Richard again, he said that he replaced the starter again, and things seemed to be fixed. No charge because the first starter must have been faulty. My husband, Jason, brought up the issue of the ground to him, explaining how and why that might be the issue and Richard agreed to go back and test some things out. Turns out, it was in fact the issue with the ground. Therefore we knew that the issue had been misdiagnosed from the beginning. Now we had already spent $570-something dollars to replace the starter which was in fact never the problem. It just ended up being some quirky, weird thing that isnt very common or thought of when you hear that clicking sound. We picked up the vehicle with no extra charges and asked if we could talk to someone about maybe some sort of refund on the starter because it turns out we replaced and paid for parts that we never needed. The owner of Beach Automobile Service Center, Gary, called me on Monday morning, without us having to track him down and offered us a full refund on the parts we didnt need and said he was sorry about the mix up. He also thanked us for our business. Talk about stand up customer service!!! This place is top notch, fair, honest and reliable and they will do whats best for the customer.
They usually do good work and the prices are fare. I have just one complaint. They are very busy and at times your car can be there all day and they will not have gotten to it. It can be an issue if your need your car to get to work, or your not comfortable leaving it in a open lot overnight. .
I would not entrust my vehicle repairs to anyone other than Beach Automotive. The absolute most trustworthy, dependable repair shop ever !!! Have recommended it to any friends.Ive never been to an auto repair shop that suggested I not have a repair done because what I was told by a friend, was wrong.
I have used Beach Auto ever since moving to Virginia Beach 10 years ago. They are honest and stand by their work. Highly recommend them.
Rich is such a nice and intelligent guy that Ive got my whole family going to him. I even have friends and family go there when they come in from out of town. Absolutely recommend this shop.
The team at Beach Auto is the most trustworthy and capable group of professionals in the car repair business. The work is always done capably and you never feel like they are trying to oversell you on repairs or issues. From the front desk to the team in the back, Beach Auto is a Virginia Beach gem in the car repair business.
I was the victim of a tire slasher which resulted in two of my tires being ruined. I read a review for beach auto on google and it said that they came to the guy to either repair or replace the guys tires so I figured why not just call and see if they would come to me. Ya know since they came to someone else. I was told they don’t come to the customer and that if I didn’t get my car towed to them there is no way they could fix it. That’s what most of the tire places that I called said, but for there to be a review that says otherwise, I don’t understand why customers can’t be treated equally when it comes to service. I mean I’m like 6 miles from this place.
I had a minor emergency and I called beach auto to see if they could assist me. Some idiot on oceana Blvd had cut me off and to avoid hitting them I swerved on the side of the road which resulted me in running over something which in turn punctured my tire leaving me stranded...Beach auto came to my rescue and got me going and didn’t even charge me. I appreciate your help Beach auto and to the young gentleman in a white Chevy truck who put my tire on...most people take advantage of people in need but beach auto was very generous and helped me out instead of charging me an arm and leg!!!! I’ve been here before for my inspection as well and will be here in the future!! Thanks Beach auto!!!!
Beach Automobile Service Center is my go to shop for auto repair. Honest, fair and dependable. Richard explains the repairs that need to be made and advises on what may need attention so there isnt any surprises.
I love how this place treats everyone with respect and honesty. They’re always packed with customers because of this, but they are so worth it!
Most reliable place Ive been in a while!! (Priority)
Professional service and super honest techs!!!
Car came out of the shop with new dints and scratches Richard kept saying he’s not responsible for what happens in the parking lot. When I dropped my car off I backed it into the corner to where nothing could of even been trying on that side where the damage was. They will never get my business again and I suggest nobody use them unless you’re open to your car being damaged then not fixed
They obviously are very popular for a reason. I just relocated here and EVERYONE I ask recommends them!
Went in explaining the problem that my car would crank but wouldnt start, 2 days later they replaced a part not related to the problem and say it cranks not, but were trying to get it to start. It turns out the be something minor but I ended up with a huge bill for it.
Fine repair shop run by grownups and not by new h.s. grads. Very resonable and competent
There is a reason the lot I always full. Locals know that they are the best with speed, efficiency, and pricing. I only take my car here now.
Beach auto treats customers like extended family they put customers and their safety first and goes above and beyond. Coming from Africameeting people like them is a blessing. Thank God for their services.
Richard is the best mechanic to go to for any problem. Never fails always fixes the problem and they work quick so you dont have to wait for your car forever . Ive been going to this place for 5 years and have never failed me . I highly recommend this place if your looking for a good mechanic shop and all the workers are very experienced.
Waited 3 hours and paid 100 for them not to fix my problem
Certainly not your typical car repair shop. Certainly the most professional. I have trusted them over 10 years.
There is no other place in this area that I would go to other than Beach Auto. Service is great, the staff knows what theyre doing, and they never try to tell you that you need anything other than what you REALLY need. Best place in Virginia Beach.
Most honest shop I have ever experienced. Richard is by far the best mechanic in the area.
Excellent service! Came for an inspection and was out the door in less than an hour.
Very knowledgeable staff...Richard and his crew always get the job done right the first time. Gary has a great team there!
Really fast, honest, and super friendly people! Brought my two little boys in while we were waiting and I will definitely be going back and recommending to everyone I know!
Weve taken our cars to Beach Auto for years now and weve always had great experiences. Great prices and, most importantly, trustworthy guys.
Glad I found a good place that doesnt over charge. Local good ol boys.
Love Beach Automobile service centerThey do a great job and very efficientThe girls at the front desk are awesome
Honest and reliable! What else do you need when it comes to fixing or servicing your vehicle...
Ive been coming here for years. I trust Richard the mechanic and his team.
