I highly recommend. Keith is great! I sent my mom’s car there for a repair. He gave me a great price when a lot of repair shops in the area were charging outrageous prices. He told me exactly what the car needed and cut out the bs.

Great experience with Keith. Very helpful and caring. Got us on the road with AC instead of a cranky hot ten hr ride! Much appreciate and recommend😊

My experience with Keith was one of the best I’ve ever experienced with any auto repair company. From the first conversation up until the decision to go with them, I felt comfortable and confident that things would be right and I was not disappointed. Keith is a honest person with competitive rates and they do great work. I have referred him to many and they have a customer for life. I cannot recommend them enough. I wish there were more people in this industry like him. As a female, I’m always nervous about being manipulated into spending more money than I need to and I never felt like that.Thanks Keith and Family Auto! You guys rock!!!☺️☺️☺️

I used this business to get my engine rebuilt. The price was fair, but the service was a lot better than expected. The job/ service was affected by Covid and the holidays. But the owner gave me his word that the job would be worth my patience. And as he said, the job was definitely worth it. I have had my truck back for over a month, and been driving it daily, and I have not had one single issue. I am very glad I trusted my gut, and did business with the shop! Thank you Keith, for a job well done

As long as theyre in business, theyll have mine. Keith is friendly and honest and up front about repairs and they work quickly. The atmosphere there is unlike any other shop Ive been to. Everyone seems to genuinely care and love their jobs. Ill recommend them to anyone! (Bonus: they dont blow off girls opinions on whats wrong with their car or act like you dont know what youre talking about just because youre a girl.) Please check them out, you wont be disappointed!!

Keith has worked on 4 of my cars and has always given me a fair price and good work. This shop is not for everyone and if you want fancy waiting rooms with free Starbucks and high prices, try the dealer.

I was referred to them by my neighbor. He had work done on his vehicle at Family Auto Repair and said that they were honest and didgreat work.So when I took my car there and met waith Keith, the owner, I told him about the problems I was having with my ignition. He told me that he could fix it but it will cost more for him to fix it than if I went to a locksmith that he uses very often we called Taylor Locksmith and he came out to my house the next day and did a great job for much less then I was going to pay Keith.So I would have to say the Keith is about the most honest repair shop owner Ive ever encountered and I wouldnt take my car anywhere else and neither should you.

Brought my car in because the AC was not working. Keith took me right in check my car told me I needed a compressor and told me the price and we set up an appointment for Monday morning. My son-in-law came in over the weekend and fixed it for me so I call Keith and canceled the appointment and offered to payFor His diagnostic service but he said no charge. He was the friendliest nicest guy And honest. Would recommend him to anybody and will definitely go back if I ever have a problem again.

I have gone to Keith and his team twice now with my car and I don’t plan on going anywhere else! I have had a clutch replaced and a new headlight instillation with rewiring done at Family Auto in the past year and Keith always cuts me a fair price for quality work. He is an honest businessman and, along with his talented team, always gets the job done quickly and efficiently. They have my business for years to come!

Review №18

I left my 2005 s600 Mercedes Benz with this shop and I was totally dissatisfied. I gave this guy $2200 of my hard earned dollars and the engine work that he claim his guys performed was unprofessional. Let me add my car was in bad condition but not irreparable. Nevertheless they used permertex on my valve cover gasket, used the wrong spark plugs and left hot wires exposed. I took my car to Danny and it’s driving like it did 11 years ago for the same cost of Keith. I’m very disappointed however lesson learned. That was chump change. Keith she’s back in wonderful condition I’ll never use you or refer you. You’re a true greaseball. When you foreclose in the future I’ll be sure to purchase the property personally!

I spoke with Keith for the first time last week. He didn’t know anything about me or the business I work for but when I explained the reason for my call he took time to help me. What he did to help us was incredible and greatly appreciated. Getting to know him is even better. What Keith proved to me was that good, honest, caring people still exist in this world. I felt like his only concern was helping me. Not once did he ask or seem concerned about what was in it for him. He cares and he will do everything he can to help you because he is all about helping people and making them feel safe. Thank you Keith. You are appreciated.

Keith and his team are great! They did a great job with my repair. The job turned out to be bigger than he anticipated , but instead of increasing the price tag, he absorbed the cost to make sure me and my family got back on the road safely. He fixed exactly what needed to be fixed and didnt try to overcharge us for what we needed. Even though we ended up spending over $1000 for our repairs, we walked out smiling and confident in the work Keith and his team did. Excellent customer service and he also never kept my car longer than a day. Great turn around time. Excellent work and awesome value for families. Call Keith today if you need any work done on your car. GREAT JOB!

I cannot give Keith and his team of super mechanics enough accolades! They are the best! If you are considering any automotive repairs, or dreading the anxiety of having to get auto repair work done, set your mind at ease! This shop goes the extra mile to insure your vehicle is up and running to its highest potential and they won’t gouge your wallet! I was terrified at the potentially high expense of a timing belt change, and a couple of potentially high cost repairs, but they took excellent care of my vehicle, and for a price I could afford! They were completely transparent about the costs, and kept me informed when some unexpected things came up and it would take a little longer than expected. My initial quoted repair costs NEVER changed, even in light of a few things they hadn’t anticipated needing to fix!!! I am so grateful to have taken my vehicle to get the TLC she needed and have the peace of mind that she will continue to manage our large families needs for years to come! Thank you Keith & all the mechanics in the shop for being amazing! 5 stars are not enough for the trust in a great mechanic! Thank you!!!

Review №24

Keith is the best!!! Took my Expedition here after it didnt pass inspection due to bad ball joints and a control arm. The place I took it to quoted me almost $1000 to do the work. I called Keith and he gave me an estimation of about $500 less if I buy the parts and bring them in. He said I could bring it in a couple of days later knowing I had only 14 days to get it re-inspected and he was able to get it fixed quickly for me. It passed inspection! So grateful for Keith and his crew for getting me in and out quickly and just being totally HONEST and GREAT mechanics which is VERY hard to find these days. Im totally a customer for life and Ive already referred my sons there. Keep up the great work Keith!!!!

Excellent service, excellent prices, and most importantly, they stand by their work. My Jeep went into their shop sounding like it was going to fall apart and came out of there sounding like a brand new Jeep and running well. All of my vehicles will go to Family Auto Repair Plus and I will recommend them to all of my friends and associates.

I have had personally great Experience with Kieth and the mechanics on my Ram 1500... after it falling out on me and Going through the whole Insurance deal, Family Auto quoted me for a certain amount of work to be done and gave me fair prices and I have trusted them on my work completely! Would definitely take any vehicle I own to them! Trustworthy and always has stayed true to their word, they dont do any extra maintenance or inspection on the vehicle unless asked or told to do so! Love these guys! Thanks for all the hard work on my Ram and cant thank yall enough!

This auto repair place is simply incredible. Keiths team worked on my BMW and has it running like new. There are very few places that work on BMWs besides the dealership but this place does, and does it well. He did all the work for half the cost of what the dealership wanted. As a police office, I am always cautious about dealing with auto mechanics but Keith was straight up and worked with me to try to keep the cost down as much as possible. Can you believe that? A mechanic trying to keep the cost down? In a world where everyone is trying to take money out of your pocket, its good to know there are still businesses who care about the customer. All my family vehicles will now be going there. Im a customer for life as long as they continue the great way they are doing business. I dont normally write reviews but this place was worth my time and i think it will help others looking for a fair place to get your car taken care of. Thanks Keith and thank your team for me.

This is absolutely the BEST mechanic in town. I have taken our families cars to this shop many times and will continue to do so. The service is wonderful, the communication is clear, and the cost is excellent. I am so appreciative of this shop and the skilled staff that went above and beyond to help fix my old car. Thank you so much.

I brought my car in because of a power issue, knowing it had other issues but also knowing I couldnt afford to fix everything wrong with it -- Keith and the crew here fixed all the little problems I had, got it back to me in a little over a day, worked with me on the price, and my car has never run so smoothly!! I will never go anywhere else, as long as Family Auto is in business. Thank you so very very much!!! 💕

Review №31

We need more people like Keith in this world!! A “customer first” shop that is willing to bend over backwards to get your vehicle serviced while being mindful of the cost and without cutting corners.I never leave comments or reviews, so that should say a lot. I called Keith about my 2000 Jeep Cherokee after I started her up and was greeted with squealing and smoke. I gave him a 2 second rundown of what issues I was having with my drive belt and told him I wanted it towed to the shop. First thing he said was “sounds like you may just need a new belt, after parts and labor...well, don’t worry about the cost...just get it over here.” I also needed my AC looked at since summer has turned my Jeep into a mobile sauna. Keith called me back shortly after my Jeep arrived, turns out my compressor had seized up. It was causing the drive belt and A/C issues along with the squealing and smoke. I was out the door squeal and smoke free with ice cold A/C that very same day.At the end of the day, amazingly fast, honest and friendly service that has earned my business for years to come. Thanks again to Keith and his crew at Family Auto.

Went here after trying to fix a persistant problem for months elsewhere, everyone was very professional and diagnosed the problem for free. It turned out it wasnt completly fixed and family auto rechecked the car for free and explained what was happening with patience. Even gave my wife and I a ride home when we had to leave the car. Couldnt reccomend them enough.

Absolute 5-star. Decades of automotive experience, and the best prices in town. - I had my sons car fixed here and they did such a good job, I brought my own car in when it needed a major repair. The repair was completed FAST, same day, and hundreds of dollars less than the dealership quoted! They are fast, they are fair, and they are very knowledgeable. They get my highest recommendation!

Keith is THE best mechanic/shop owner I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I should know because I have taken my car there MANY times. Keith and everyone at Family Auto Repair Plus always go above and beyond what they are asked and expected of. He is always willing to work with me and I always leave the shop very satisfied. I will never take my car anywhere else as long as this shop is open. HIGHLY recommend this place if you are looking for a friendly atmosphere and affordable, great- quality service.

When my transmission went out in my ford expedition I called around to 5 different shops. Keith at family auto was the only one who took the time over the phone to talk through the symptoms my expedition was experiencing. following his diagnosis he ended up quoting me $700 less than any of the other shops I called around asking. The great service continued throughout the whole process. Keith with call and keep you updated on the status of your vehicle and wants to get it done as fast and as cheap as possible. On top of the great transmission work he noticed my engine was running a little rough and replaced an ignition coil pack for me free of cost. If you are experiencing any car problems I recommend giving Keith at family auto a call and you will feel like you are in good hands. Family auto will be the first place I go to for the rest of my time in the area.-Professional-quick-military friendly-great prices-genuine careThanks family auto!

Its like this, Ive worked on my own vehicles my hole life saving me and my family tens of thousands of dollars over the years. But now I have reached the stage of my life where Im getting tired an have been looking for a place I can bring my vehicles to, to have them worked on. Now mind it Im very mechanically inclined an can not stand it when someone tries to pull the wool over my eyes. But Im here to tell you. If you are an older person and you need to put your trust in a stranger to service or to do mechanical repairs on your car, Family Auto Repair Plus is definitely the place to go.when you do you will no longer be strangers. Never called to check on my truck, Keith kept me up on everything, and they even did little small things like put my head liner back without telling me. He has the most reasonable prices in town and great craftsmanship, These guys truly care about their customers, and they call and check to see if everything is going ok, he called me twice the next week. He explained everything that needed to be done to my truck so that my wife could understand it. My truck runs so good now its like a brand new one, (260,000) miles. I told Keith that if I get a speeding ticket he was liable. Nobody can beat his prices. He now works on my wifes car also.The moral of the story is if you are what they consider an older person Family Auto Repair Plus (Keith) is the place you need to bring your vehicles. NO WORRIES.

If you’re looking for a trust worthy mechanic, Keith is your man. Took my 2013 Jeep Wrangler in, expecting to probably spends hundreds. He could have easily told me whatever he wanted was the problem and charged me 300 bucks. Ends up it was a simple 20 minute fix, he didn’t even bother charging me for the parts or labor. This guy will definitely take care of you. Thanks again Keith!!

Excellent Auto Repair!!! Since I have been in Virginia Beach and I just moved to the area, I have always taken my vehicles to Family Auto Repairs Plus.

Review №47

Ive brought my cars and my daughters car here several times. As a woman, theres always some apprehension going to a mechanic, feeling sometimes like i wont get complete honesty, which leads to unnecessary work done hence unnecessary money spent! Keith has always been straightforward with his assessments, recommendations, as well as suggestions. Often times his suggestions are small inexpensive fixes I can do on my own, or hell let me know if its something I can hold off on; always educating me on my cars. When there is work that needs to be done, prices are very reasonable. I have an Audi and Mercedes and my daughter has an Infiniti. I have priced the work with these service departments, and estimates here are significantly much less.

Cant say enough good things about these guys. Keith, the owner, is a great dude and has been nothing but helpful to my wife and I for about a year now.

Great shop with excellent warranties. I had work done to the turbo on my superduty less than a year ago and when it started having the same issues again last month, the shop repaired the turbo again with no questions under warranty. They also were able to correct some other gremlins with the braking system. This was not my first dealing with Keith and his crew and it definitely will not be my last. I recommend his services to anyone who asks for a reputable, cost effective (not dealer) repair shop. He has never done me or anyone I have sent his way wrong. Best independent shop in town.

I needed to get a relatively small job done on my 2007 Camry. SF Toyota gave me a quote of $1600 ($800 for parts and $800 for labor). It seemed expensive so I looked around, and called Family Auto Repair Plus. Waylon told me the cheapest and quickest way was to order the parts myself (turned out to be easy, cost $300) and bring them in for installation, which he did for $150. Done quickly, good communication, gave good free advice on another issue.

Id like to start off with my experience with this shop was amazing. The previous shop i dealt with left me in a bad situation with my engine replacement job i hired them for. I contacted a lot of other shop once I realized I needed to find someone else. Out of the many shops I contacted kieth at Family Auto Repair Plus stood out the most for many reasons. When talking with him he was very understanding and informal about how they can help. Also he set me up with different options and pricing that varied on what i wanted to do. He was very fair and reasonable with pricing and informed me that they backed up all there work . Now that everything is done im greatly pleased. So after my experience with this shop they gained a loyal customer. They are a great shop giving mechanics a great name. Ill stand behind referring them 100%

This place is awesome. Extremely professional. I went there to get my brakes checked out as they started getting quite mushy. Sure enough, a seal had busted and brake fluid was leaking. Instead of telling me I need to replace more than just the busted caliper, they gave me prices for different options and even gave me a military discount. There was no pressure to do more than needed. I will recommend this place to everyone. Thanks for your good work, Keith.

Weve been to Family Auto several times and have never left there unhappy. Their prices are much better than anyone around and the problem has always been fixed correctly and the first time.They did the work for 1/2 the price of what Firestone wanted when Firestone failed our Expedition due to upper control arms. The latest repair was a complete upper engine rebuild and it was done for the lowest price I found in the city.The staff there is wonderful, and have always taken the time to explain the repair, why its needed and what the cost will be. They have always gotten our truck back to me either on time or ahead of schedule.They have earned my families trust and we dont even check with other shops anymore - if something goes wrong we call Family Auto and they take care of the rest.They have earned my highest recommendation I could possibly give and I strongly recommend you give them a chance to earn your business!

I recently brought my car to Family Auto after finding them online. They were very accommodating as I came in without an appointment. They did the work on my car quickly. I had a sensor that went bad and my heat and a/c were not working properly. The pricing was very fair as I had a similar problem occur in another car I owned and it was quite a bit less this time. I am going to use them again if I have any car issues. I recommend them.

Three years ago, we thought we had found our Family mechanic. Now, three years and two cars later, both of which Keith and his mechanics have worked on we are now with no return phone calls, cell phone number changed and we are sent straight to what sounds like a fax machine!! So hey Keith, why don’t you give us a call!!! Still waiting on a part for my thermostat that you supposedly ordered in July when you tried to rebuild our engine. Still having issues with that!! We have put right around $6,000 into the Denali. I am appalled by this “Christian Man”. Our car still has the check engine light on that it did $6,000 ago!! We are now in Illinois and it’s 45 degrees here, my 3 children are being blasted with highest fan speed air conditioning!!! Been asking for all of our paperwork and receipts for the Denali so we can show what “has” been done to the vehicle so we can attempt to trade it in. Can’t seem to get those either. Just lies from this “Man” This is totally ridiculous Keith!!! It’s not in my nature to talk bad about someone but you clearly don’t seem to care about My Family’s well being. Seems to me that you only cared about taking advantage of Matt’s ( my fiancée) small near death settlement!!! You have our phone numbers and our address! The least you could do is send the part and the paperwork like you promised and lied about and said you have sent it 3 times!! Hope your Family is doing well, truly! It is sad that it has to be at the expense of your customers!

After calling around and getting prices to replace the engine in our 2002 F250 we had Family Auto do the work. They were not only the most economical but their warranty was better than the other places we contacted. Top notch service. We highly recommend these guys for any auto work. We have already referred them out to a friend of ours and they will be the only place we take our auto to for repairs.

I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend anyone who needs their vehicle repaired to come to see Keith P. He is honest, hard-working, no frills/gimmicks...I was impressed when I checked out the website and when I came in to see him he gave me an awesome deal to get my car fixed. If I went to somewhere else, they probably wouldve charged $100s of dollars more. I thank him so much for being nice, hospitable, understanding, straight-forward and willing to work with me. Now I know who I am going to whenever I need a mechanic in VA. Thank you again Keith P. you and your team are the best!!!:D

It is rare for me as a female to walk into a car repair place and not feel like I just got taken advantage of. But these guys were great! They answered all of my questions, explained things in detail, told me what to expect from the repair, and were genuinely great to deal with. And then to top it off they were by FAR the cheapest in the area, and I called 5 other places to get estimates. I will definitely be taking my car to them for any repairs needed in the future.

The owner of this shop has been my long time mechanic. He is caring and dedicated to fixing your car right and at the lowest price possible. I couldnt even start to tell you how many repairs he has done for me and the many different cars of my family. The most memorable repair was when he swapped out an engine in my 94 Camaro. He did this at half of what other shops would charge and the car runs better then new! Give this shop a chance and you wont go elsewhere.

I’m a Marine Officer temporarily in the area for training. I had my clutch go out as well as transmission issues. I was a machanic myself years ago and therefore trust few places doing the same job with the same care on my own vehicles. However Keith and his shop was more than accommodating. Keith has your back and supports you as if fixing his “brothers” vehicle. His staff worked above and beyond. He’s a stand up man and I have personally recommended Family Auto Care plus to all my fellow Marines, jr. Marines and Navy members in the area. He is honest, And did not try to mislead me whatsoever. I know my way throughout a car or truck and so does he and I would trust him working on any of my own or my Marines vehicles.

Its hard to find good, honest, and hard working people in this day and age. If you value your safety and money, this is the place to bring your car. By far they are the best mechanics in the area, and they wont try to rip you off with BS repair work. Highly recommended - I wont go anywhere else.

Keith and team are the best! They did a rebuild on 2006 Trailblazer and did not give up the fight (had a few bumps in the road with what I would describe as the domino effect, one thing fixed something else went wrong) until Keith and team and I were 100% satisfied. I will not take my vehicles anywhere but Family Auto Repair Plus in the future! I know Keith lost sleep on this project, but he is very professional and stands behind his work. Family Auto Repair Plus is the place to go for fair and honest service and pricing!Thanks again Keith and Team!David A.

Been taking my car here for a few years now. They are honest, efficient, quick and a pleasure to work with. They spend the time to explain problems and solutions to you with options and patiently let you make the best decision. I wont take my car anywhere else. Best mechanic in the beach!

By far the best automotive experience Ive ever had! For someone who is new to yhe area, trying to find a trustworthy auto shop was a gamble, but I really lucked out with these guys. Keith kept me informed about the repair of my engine, and always asked permission before taking a step. Keith also made it a priority to show me exactly what the problem was. Through time and research of new parts, Keith also was able to lower my upfront cost which was already a reasonable price. The technicians at this shop do great work and I truly thank Keith and his staff for making a normally unpleasent experience pleasant.

Crooks! These guys are a joke! I initially asked around to find a shop that could work on a motorcycle I was buying. The owner of this shops wife told me to come in and talk to her husband. So I took my bike over there and he said he could get it running for me.I didnt see my bike again for 2 months! First it was this part that needed to be ordered and then come to find out it wasnt that part but it was another part. There was always a reason why they werent finished. At one point I had left a voicemail expressing my concern about the time Ive been waiting and wouldnt you know it a few days later it was ready. I go to pick it up and I could tell that they were trying to talk to me way too much instead of just letting me look and hear the bike. I literally drove it home and the next day I went for a five-minute ride and it shut off on me. It wouldnt run for me anymore after that. So I took it to the Harley-Davidson shop instead which I should have done in the first place. Come to find out they didnt do any of the work they said they did and they screwed a screw through the carburetor which cracked it and then tried to glue it back together! And surprise surprise they wont answer my calls. These guys are absolute Crooks and Liars! They got me for $650! Dont let them get you too!

Keith P at Family Auto Repair Plus initially replaced the engine in my Jeep back in December. I was so gun shy at every little noise that I ended up bringing it back to the shop three times. Even though it turned out every time that nothing was wrong with it, they never got irritated with me. I have never had such a positive experience at an auto mechanics shop before. I have since refereed friends to them, all of whom were very satisfied with the services provided, and I intend to go back to them soon for a full transmission and clutch replacement. I never write reviews, but this shop deserves its praise.

Best repair shop around. Very fair prices and seem to go the extra mile to fix minor things they might find, as they did to my car at no extra cost. Good guys.

This business is geat! The owner really knows what hes doing and offers free estimates. Everyone in my family brings their vehicles here. I moved to VB a little over a year ago to be near family. My car overheated and blew the head gasket. I was homeless and unemployed at the time and the owner quoted me a very fair price. Then he offered to store the car for free while I made payments on the repairs. I dont know what I would have done if he hadnt worked with me. 😄

Dont go anywhere else! These guys will give you the best price, best attitude, and most trustworthy diagnostics. They charged me $350 dollars less than another auto repair shop.

I just want to say big thanks to family auto repair plus for coming through to save our little vacation if it wasn’t for them we would have never been able to have a great day at the beach. Keith if you see this I can’t thank you enough for making a big problem the last of my worries and if ANYONE OUT THERE NEED ANY HELP PLEASE DONT NOT HESITATE TO COME TO Family Auto Repair Plus they will make you feel at home.

The family and I are currently on vacation from New Hampshire and my worst nightmare comes to fruition when after driving 12.5 hours, our water pump goes. I realize the temperature gauge is just about to touch the h when the family and I pull into a Sonic for dinner. Immediately I prayed to God he would lead us to the right auto repair shop. After stopping at two that seemed nice and were willing to take care of us the next day, we got back to our resort and somehow they heard we were having car issues and put us in contact with the right garage....Family Auto Repair Plus. Everyone that has traveled and been in this same position fears that when you pull into an unknown garage, other than your normal mechanic, they would see the out of town plates and automatically see $$! Family Auto Repair took very good care of us and came in way under the quote from the other garage.Family and I cant thank Keith and his staff enough. If I could Id make the 10 hour drive every time my care needed repair just to deal with these guys.

I made the mistake of paying up front (1,118.00) and kept calling Keith to fix my car Everytime he said Ill call you back in ten minutes which never came,now here it is another year and I want my money back that dont make no sense for him to have scam me.I took him at his word which was not good.I thought a man word was his bond!!!!!!I guess not in his case.😠Im talking about my 2005 Hyundai Elentra you got me mixed up with somebody else you and did nothing for me and my husband because i wasnt living in the state of Virginia 4 years ago. PLEASE GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK !!($1,118.00)

My fiancee and my car broke down and I thought it would cost an extreme amount of money to get it fixed ,but the owner not only saved us money but made us feel like family there. Would recommend anyone to him. Thanks Keith for the wonderful service. Wished your shop was back home. There is no reason I could ever see why anyone could ever give this shop a bad review ever.

The main guy is so nice and helpful. He didnt push me at all to fix all the stuff my car needs fixed but instead respectfully pointed out some of the more serious problems. Hes also a Christian, which may be cool for some people.

Review №99

Absolutely horrible workmanship coming out of this jack leg establishment. Simply pathetic and sad the way this coward of an owner handles business. I brought a Impala to this dump and after a month of picking it up and taking it back because of incomplete repairs I asked him for a refund. He called the police and lied saying I was assaulting him and got me banded from the property to avoid fixing the problem. A true con-artist at it finest. He did try and compensate for the shoddy work by attempting to repair other vehicles of my girlfriend and I. But still incomplete shoddy work was preformed. So if youre satisfied with poor shoddy workmanship take your vehicle to this dump. Guaranteed...Family Auto Repair wont get the job done right.
