This is THE best auto shop in town! They have the best customer service- I talked with Vicky and she was patient, calm and knowledgeable! Their prices are fair and they are fast. They have my business for life.
Airport auto is my family’s lifetime auto repair shop. They are the only automotive experts in Charlottesville that I trust my high performance car with. Selecting who does your auto work is always an extremely stressful task unless you know about Airport Auto. You can finally rest at ease knowing someone will take pride in working on your vehicle while also charging very reasonable prices! Don’t hesitate to give them a call so you can finally have peace of mind that your car will be fixed quickly, correctly, and with passion!
On Sunday we went shopping at the Rio Hill Shopping Center and when we went to leave, our vehicle would not shift into gear. After calling like 6 other tow companies, 1 of them recommended Airport Road Towing. James answered the call immediately and told us he would be there in 20 minutes. Needless to say he was there exactly in 20 minutes. He got the problem identified, made a temporary fix and got us on our way. James is now my newest best friend! Awesome!
Very honest and friendly. Do not do work that doesn’t need to be done. Have a shuttle if you need it which is great. Great service.
We have used Airport Auto for all our vehicles over the past 10 years. Love them! Very reliable and fast. Their complimentary shuttle drivers are so friendly.
The staff/crew at Airport Auto (time and time again) honestly goes out of their way to make it feel like my family and I truly matter. Their dedication to fixing any issue we may have with our car has always been treated as if it were a priority. I have watched their kindness, compassion, professionalism, knowledge, talent and that such dedication translate to every customer who has been in their shop while I have personally been there. And this isnt just something to write...Im not leaving this review just for review sake. I mean every word, hand to heart...a glowing review means nothing if it doesnt help nor does it put anyone at ease in making their decision if it isnt earned.Our old family van broke down on Thanksgiving years back; a car full of food heading to my wifes parents, our children buckled in. Airport Auto was about to close, but they took care of it. They took care of the problem, ensuring our van was up and running, safe and sound, while making sure my kids had a place to sit, with cupcakes and all. Why? For no other reason than kindness. Simple as that. And thats simply one time out of years worth on oil changes, simple check ups, inspections, and other issues that arise...every single time, Airport Auto has been there with the same kindness and professionalism.I have a tremendous amount to learn in my life, but I am (without question) certain of this: these people care about their business, they care about their craft, they care about what they do...but even more than any of that, they care about each and every one of their customers. I have seen it. I have seen the same kind of respect shown from everyone their no matter if it was given back in return.
Always receive excellent service, reasonable pricing, and customer care here! Everyone is so friendly and willing to help. Their free shuttle service makes leaving your car super easy and hassle free, especially when you need to drop it off before work. Even when they are at their busiest, if you have an emergency repair that needs fixing quick, they’ll do everything they can to get it done promptly! Highly recommend!
Best auto repair place Ive ever worked with, and I have lived in four different states. They are the BEST.
Airport Auto has completely lost my trust and loyalty… I’ve used them for years and won’t go back and if you’re a senior woman, like me, you should think twice… I took my old car into Airport Auto to be thoroughly checked over; my AC quit working and in June 2021, when I had my car inspected (at Airport Auto), I was told my left ball joint wouldn’t pass inspection next year and definitely needed repair as soon as possible.I was quoted 3.5k to include AC, the ball joint repair and other repairs, I left the car with them for 2 weeks. 2 days before I was to pick it up, I was told the left ball joint work was NOT included in the original quote and then told, it didn’t EVEN NEED repair, well, “not yet”. Additionally, I was told the woman who gave the original quote had “made a mistake, there was a miscommunication and she’s done this a couple times this week” and, he’d have to talk to her. What??? Besides not honoring the quote, throwing his co-worker under the bus did nothing but send big red flags… is he saying their people are poorly trained or are there certain employees I should avoid and, more importantly how do I trust any quote they give? A quote is a quote, ethical places honor their quotes and take up their employee “issues” on their own time, not mine.Part of the work included a simple oil change and routine care… I typically go to other places for an oil change and must be spoiled, they vacuum and wash my windows, replace the filters and windshield wipers if needed… mine were definitely overdue and when I asked specifically about them they had not been done, not to mention the black fingerprints on my seats and dash. Here’s the thing, not to be finicky but, if they can’t meet expectations for a simple oil change it leaves me questioning all their services.They did a good number of repairs, it’s an old car, and I don’t mind paying for repairs and they had the car for 2 weeks, no excuses for not completing a job. I feel they ignored the little things in lieu of bigger ticket items. Those little things are equally important and given the exchanges we had, especially about the ball joint, I’m not sure if the repairs they did were warranted or not? Bottom line, I can’t trust them. I was very clear about my expectations/requests, we communicated regularly and I understood the quote. For 3.5k I shouldn’t have to take my car to, yet, another repair place to check their work… that left ball joint that was in dire need of repair 2 months ago … save yourself the worry, go someplace with better reviews!
Airport Auto continues to impress. Took my car in and they found a part that had failed from a previous repair. Even though it was the part that failed which they have no control over, they replaced it free of charge because “it is just the right thing to do.” They have my business for life.
Airport Road Auto has always been great and continues to be great. They fit me in for a state inspection. Not a big ticket item. They still communicated consistently as if this was a major repair. I am thankful I have a honest and capable garage in my community.
My coworker suggested Airport Auto because they have been going for 20 years and I see why. I had a great experience from the first time I walked in. Everyone is very nice and helpful and I was able to get the work I needed done right away. I work farther out and they still gave me a lift from and back to their location which was a huge help for me. And their prices are great. I can’t recommend them enough.
Always friendly staff, reasonable prices and fair quotes focusing on what needs done without trying to include unnecessary work. However they do always provide honest recommendations based on their assessment. Highly recommend them.
Very professional and efficient. They gave me a clear view of the issues my car had and let me choose what work I wanted done. They are honest and are not trying to take advantage of you.Their shuttle drivers are great!! Even though I lived 8 miles away they both took me home and picked me up.I will be back! They are trustworthy!
I’ve been taking my cars here for over 5 years. Everyone is very nice, fast service, fair prices, my car runs great. I’ve never used the service, but they will take people to work, home, etc, while your vehicle is in the shop. Definitely recommend Airport Auto
Extremely pleased with Airport Auto. Service was excellent. I had a couple of issues they went out of their way to solve. Friendly, professional, courteous. Vickie is the best!
I’ve been a customer of Airport Auto for several years, and have never been disappointed in their service! Their staff members are friendly, professional, and honest! Most recently I had an issue with my older Lexus SUV that could have cost over $1000 ( and probably would have at a dealership), but was corrected at no charge by their mechanics. You can be confident you’ll get the best, honest care at Airport Auto!— bill
I am always amazed at how fast their service is! And yet they are still affordable. And they do not skrimp on service either! I wish I could give them 6 stars!
Very friendly staff and competitive pricing makes Airport Auto the best place to go in northern Charlottesville for all auto care needs. Courtesy shuttles are available if you need to head to work or somewhere else.
Prompt and efficient service. Great people to deal with.
Always great experiences. Whenever any issue arises, Airport Rd Auto Center does a great job of dealing with it quickly and professionally. Very prompt and clear communication makes it easy to know what you’re getting and when you can expect it at reasonable prices. Couldn’t ask for more!
Very professional, and they do great work! Came to Airport Auto after two other dealerships had refused to fix damage they had made on my car. The car was fixed in a day; and they called me with a total before working on the car like I had asked! They deserve your business, so give them a try!
First time there, due to an emergency. Out of desperation, I drove in a half hour before they were opened for business. Unexpectedly, Warren, already there, addressed the issue immediately. I was able to safely drive my truck again. Great service! I’d recommend this company.
Airport Auto is fantastic! We take all our cars there and have always been thrilled. The staff is kind and always makes sure we get every issue with our cars addressed properly. Excellent place!
Always polite, they get your car in & out as soon as possible with quality work & fair price.Friendly staff!
Great and professional service, and availability is great! I really love the fact that theres a shuttle service as well, for ppl who dont have 2 cars. Will always recommend others to go there.
I called and they ordered tires and put them on the following day. Price was cheaper than quoted at Umansky. I also utilized the shuttle, which was easy and quick.
I have been going to Airport Auto for 30 years and receive the best service. It has great staff (friendly and helpful) and Ive always been happy. I will continue going there for another 30 years.
LOVE Airport Auto. They have always been kind, honest, and timely. I had a bill yesterday that I was about to pay, and the cashier looked and realized it was off. I was wondering if I would owe more, but no, they charged me $100 less. How kind and wonderful to know that I am in good hands and not being taken advantage of~~
Dependable and friendly folks who operate a professional auto repair business. They repaired a leaking brake line while I was traveling and kept my car at their facilities until I returned. I have used them for years and they have never disappointed. Bob
Awesome service, as always, and priced right! Fast service, they always work me in, and a happily satisfied customer for over a decade :).
My wife and I both used them and are very happy! Very professional, genuine, and kind. My car failed inspection MAGNIFICENTLY and the gentlemen was apologetic about the price on the phone. My wifes car needed fewer repairs and has been running happily since. Shed gone to another mechanic who was very rude and shady, we suspect because were an LGBT couple. There was no issue with that with Airport Auto Center. They let us use a car for the weekend while mine was there. In general just lovely service and we will absolutely be going back.
Airport Auto is the best. They’ve never let me down and taken really good care of me And my vehicles
I would happily give a five star however I feel they dropped the ball on my requested services. My car was in for an exhaust leak and a misfire engine code. The exhaust leak was completely fixed and was not very expensive which is wonderful. The misfire code was intermittent and didnt repeat for the mechanic. I had provided a full sheet of paper detailing all of what I had replaced in an effort to correct the misfire in great depth. I wish they would have dug deeper as it is inconvenient to schedule multiple appointments for the same issues
Kind, proficient and done quickly. My entire family has been going here for years. They will take good care of you.
Elaine scheduled me and my ride for pick up was waiting for me at the requested time. Warren was ready to ring me up promptly. Friendly, great service!
Airport auto always does a great job for us! We appreciate your help with our cars!
It’s what I’ve been looking for for years. Locally owned and operated, friendly and communicative staff, good work, and good pricing. I plan to make them my long term mechanics
Great, fast, and friendly service. No hassle! I would recommend taking your car here for any service!
I went to Airport Auto for the first time to get my car state inspection done. I had made an appointment, I arrived a little early, everyone was friendly and I decided to wait for my car (although I learned that they have a shuttle service!). It was 30 minutes from the time of my appointment and my car was done! No hassle, no long wait times, friendly people, and they cleaned my dashboard (which needed it). I will be taking my car back here if I need any further services.
Very professional in all interactions. On time and honest. Been using them for 7 years now and have had cars with 150k-250k mileage. Never once gouged me or made me feel nervous/suspicious about work done… I think that’s rare!
Best place I’ve ever been for car maintenance. Work is done efficiently and effectively, prices are fair, I’ve never been up sold, and I’ve never had to wait more than one minute to get a ride to work or home. I trust Airport Road Auto.
I called Monday morning for a VA State Inspection. They told me to bring it over and they would fit it in even though they were busy. Even offered to shuttle me back to the house, which I didn’t need but it was a nice offer. Called early afternoon and said come and get it. All around professional experience with very nice people.
Service is prompt. Costs are reasonable.Repaires and work are done correctly.(No unnecessary work is performed).Employees are friendly with great customer service.
They were able to fix my cars air conditioning right away, and were very easy to deal with.
I’ve been taking my vehicles to airport auto for over 20 years. I won’t use anybody else. Warren is such a professional. He’s a big reason we keep coming back!
The team is friendly and focus on getting you in and out quickly. My state inspection was so easy!
Once again, Airport Road Auto comes to the rescue after a competitor tries to fail my state inspection and quote over $1700 in repairs. Airport Auto went over the car again couldnt find any of the required and additional recommended repairs. $20 new inspection and done. Dont be fooled and go anywhere else but here!
First time at Airport Auto and they are amazing people. I had heard good things but decided it was time to go to them. I arrived early and they started as soon as I got there. One thing I really appreciate is them showing me in person something that needs to be fixed instead of hiding the problem and not tell me. Honesty in the car repair business is a hard thing to find. I will absolutely be coming back in the future!
The staff was respectful from the desk to the shuttle service. They replaced my tires, aligned my wheels, and I know for a fact my skid plate was loose and they secured it without me asking. Details count and I appreciated that. I will patron them again.
The staff was great. Got my car ready at the time they said it would be. I will definitely go back and recomend to my friends.
Always good service. I have used them for years
I called in the morning to get work done and they said drop it off and they would get to it quickly, but I had no appointment so it might be a little bit. Nope! Dropped it off and a couple hours after my truck was done and awesome! Definitely would recommend them.
I’ve used this place for ten years or so but for the last couple years I’ve noticed a marked price increase. 150 here an extra 200 there, it gotten to the point that if you want an state inspection expect to drop a couple hundred dollars. Besides the ridiculous overcharges they are very professional and 90 percent of the time they fix the right thing on your car quickly.
We love airport auto! Can always count on them for quick, honest, and effective vehicle maintenance!!
Excellent Customer Service!!!!!! Very personable staff and always willing to work with you.
Their service was excellent and efficient and the courtesy shuttle service was first class.
Good honest folks. I drive 30 mins from home to have them work on my car. They’re solid. 👊🏼
I love the energy of the staff and I love the service that I got from them.
They have earned my trust over many years!
Upfront and reliable. A great local business!!
I have been using Airport Auto for many years and they know me by name.I like that they are always accommodating and helpful. I appreciate that they have a van service to take me where I need to be, while my car is being serviced. I hope that they will always keep their prices affordable.I also hope that they will keep the office/waiting area atmosphere, professional while people wait for their car.I have recommended Airport Auto to many people over the past 30 years, because of the reasons that I’ve written above.
Very prompt service made appointment same day also have a free shuttle if needed location is very convenient.
I had an appointment, they took the vehicle right in. Everyone was very polite. Happy with the service they provided.
Very good experience at Airport Auto. Personnel are very professional. Good service
I love Airport Auto. This trip was for just a state inspection of my 22-year old Toyota Avalon. But they do all the work on my car. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, fair, reasonably priced, and they run a great shuttle service. It’s everything you could ask for. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Airport auto are very efficient and professional, and they do quality work.
Very slow process for a simple task. Inspection took 24 hours. Totally outrageous pricing on parts and labor. Charging around 6-7 times the going rate. Parts marked up 8 times the going rate. Compared to ebay. I would not recommend airport motors to anyone. strongly discourage doing business with!!!
Very communicative about the issues and took the time to show me the problems and discuss how they could fix then
They treated me great. I needed a ride home and they helped me and put my wheelchair in back. The driver was kind and a good driver! I felt safe. He also wore a mask the whole time! Great job!
Had a great experience, the staff was courteous, professional and it was done in a very timely manner as I waited. I would highly recommend this business to others.
This is the second time I’ve had Airport Auto perform my state inspection and it was another great visit. They were professional and on time. I’ve used other service centers but they want you to drop your vehicle off or leave it, not something I have the time to do. At airport I schedule an appointment, show up on time, and they do the rest. It’s done within an hour! These guys deliver what you expect every time!
Great service. Staff was friendly and they did a great timely job.
I am a DIY person so I don’t use auto repair shops very often, but when I don’t have the time or ability I use airport road auto center. Their prices are good, their service is even better. Highly recommend
Very attentive, excellent service, trustworthy!
Great place, everyone is nice, the mechanics are very knowledgeable and honest.
Long time customer and they have always treated me fairly. If this review is still up and that’s still true, then I’m still using them :-)
My go to auto repair shop. Have always been honest with me and prices have always been fair. Work is done quickly and if issues arise they keep you up to date and won’t do work until it is cleared by the vehicle owner.
They know cars and they care about their customers. Highly recommend.
Excellent job! Four tires replaced at a reduced installed price with their Dollars off coupon.
The staff are great! They are friendly, they greet you when you walk in the door and always get the job done right! Recommend them to many people!!
We have been taking our vehicles to airport auto since we moved to Charlottesville in 2005. The service is always prompt and professional. They wont overcharge you and will work with you on cost on the rare times they may discover another repair is needed while working on something else. Another great service they have is their free shuttle service. Ive used this service many times because I did not have a ride to work or to back home after dropping my vehicle off. Theyll even come pick you up from work or from your house to come get your car when its finished. I know other places may offer this now but when we first started going to airport auto they were the first to provide such full featured shuttle service.if youre looking for a trustworthy place to take your vehicle for service even if its just a state inspection or oil change I highly recommend them.
I have been a customer of Airport Road Auto for almost 10 years. They have always been helpful with diagnosing problems and explaining options. They have gone out of their way to help me when they needed to keep my vehicle for several days. I trust and respect their quality and honesty. I am grateful that they treat me like a friend rather than just another customer. I am especially grateful for Warren. He has always been professional, understanding and helpful. Thank you as well to Elaine and all the others who have helped over the years.
I appreciate your hard work and honesty!
Airport Auto has excellent service. They are fast efficient and will even give you a ride to where you need to go. Id recommend them to everyone! They are awesome!
This is my first time at Airport Auto and I will be returning as a customer I was extremely pleased with their service and they’re positive attitude friendly everything you expect and rarely get. I have had very unpleasant experiences with other auto repair businesses in Charlottesville I am a lifelong resident and Airport Auto Surpass my expectations
My whole family uses airport auto so when I moved here from NYC I took my car straight there. They are honest, friendly, fairly priced and I had a great experience. I got a state inspection and oil change this time but will use them as my go to car repair place!
Cant go wrong with Airport Road Auto Center. Been dealing with them for decade or more. Always done right by me. Professional and honest. They just changed ownership in the not so distant past. My only hope is it stays the same and service remains at the excellent level Im used to. I dont have too much experience with the new owners but do far so good.
First time there. They were very busy but fit me into the schedule and had me out before 9am. Reasonable price, about $70 on a fully synthetic oil change.
Airport Auto has serviced our vehicles for more than 25 years. They are always professional, top-notch service techs who do what is needed on time & with attention to detail. The front desk & support staff is always friendly, they greet customers by name & call to discuss & authorize any unexpected service needs or repairs. We highly recommend Airport Auto.
Elena helped me get set up with new shocks, tires,brake light, and oil change. As always, fantastic service!
Airport Road always takes such good care of our cars. I trust in them to do what needs to be done quickly and at a fair price. It’s always a pleasure to work with such dedicated and capable people.
Airport Auto was very professional, and Chris kept me informed every step of the way. The total price came in less than I expected!!Im very happy with their service and I will continue to use Airport Auto for all my cars.
Been going there for 25 years. Have great people skills in the staff. Recent ownership change makes some things a bit different but all the great folks remain. That speaks volumes regarding the new leadership. Not always the cheapest but always flexible and convenient. Stand by their work.
I have been taking my vehicle in to Airport road auto center for a few years now. There is not a negative thing to say about these outstanding professionals. They understand struggles and they are just so darn nice. If I could give more stars to them, I would.They take care of you, your vehicle, your wallet, and even some stress.Thank you Airport road Auto!
Airport Auto was great. I needed a state inspection, and it was done well. The technician noted a couple items that will need later repair and provided a quote which I very much appreciate so I can plan and get this done as it suits.
Always the place I take cars to if something seems fishy somewhere else. Sometimes you have to use the closest shop for convenience but if you have the time to make it here its the most honest in town.Theyve saved me on repairs that wouldve been in the hundreds at other shops with simple fixes or just checking a belt to see if it really needed to be replaced. A while ago a dealership, which since has new ownership, tried to get me to replace a timing belt that was perfectly fine. The car hadnt had an issue for another 30,000 miles when I sold it to a friend. Id have to ask him if hes even replaced that belt since.
Airport Road Auto is the best! They are always courteous and never push unnecessary repairs. Ive been using them for 16 years and will continue to until my last breath.
I’ve been so pleased to have found a reliable service shop upon moving here! We’ve needed their help several times and they always work us in as quickly as possible and are as careful with your money as if it was their own.
