Had appointment for inspection - They took me right in, and out in under an hour. EXCELLENT - Dealer can take all day as no appointments just first come, first serve and mixed into appts for repairs and service. THANKS
First landing was great. Spoke with Mark and Nancy and they were pleased to talk to I will be back for all my needs
Just went in for a routine state inspection but I really feel like they went over the top, documented everything with pictures and sent them to me so I knew exactly what was going on. Great follow up service calling me and emailing me with coupons for my next visit. Will definitely be going back for any of my future car needs.
The service at First Landing Auto Care is next level. They are kind and happy to answer any questions. I love that they send me full diagnostic complete with pictures of what they’re talking about with links to instructional videos if I have further questions. I feel like they’re honest and do a great job!
Took my 05 F150 and my wifes Van to get inspected. Great service. Fast and easy. Very friendly. My truck failed but they didnt pressure me to fix it there. I fixed it myself, brought it back and they reinspected the next day. Highly recommend.
We are a military family new to the area with three young kids. My primary vehicle broke down (only one that fits all three car seats) on our driveway on a Sunday. Our insurance gave us a free tow to First Landing Auto Care- the closest auto repair place to our house- but it was closed for the day. The following morning i called in at 8:19am to let them know what was going on with our vehicle. David told me that the diagnostic alone cost $150- that felt high and I called around and was quoted $100 by most other auto shops. Since my car didn’t start and I had no other means of transportation, I didn’t have much choice and had to pay the $155 for the diagnostic. After waiting most of the day to hear from them, I called them at 3:30pm. Then a man named Mike told me that it would cost me $1088.79 to change the starter on my 2007 Acura MDX!!! I was floored (bc that seemed very high) and called around for other quotes to compare local prices for this service. The highest local rate given was half the price of the First Landing Auto Care quote. I decided to hire a tow guy and have it brought to another local car care place bc it ended up being cheaper than having First Landing do the work. What a shame that I feel taken advantage of by the high prices at First Landing Auto Care. I will not be returning for service here and I will be sure to spread the word about my experience. I wanted to share so that others are warned and not put in my situation.
I am very familiar with Auto Repair Bussines throughout Hampton Roads due to my job. I must say, its never fun to have issues with your vehicles. Finding someone or some business to trust is never easy. The staff at first Landing did an awesome job for me at a fair price. Tracy and Steve, kept me updated throughout the whole process. They went above and beyond to inspect my vehicle, and let me know other issues to be aware of in the near and distant future. Bottom line, First Landing is a great local spot, with quality trust worthy people you can count on. Definitely recommend these guy, and they have another location if needed. Thank you, Tracy, Steve, Carol, and Ross👍
Very professional. I have used them for years taking care of five different cars along the way. Always give me a complete inspection with suggestions for service needed and time frame when it should be done, but never try to sell me something that is not needed.
First Landing Auto Care is professional and efficient in their communication and their service. The text that listed what was done, what should be watched, and what needs immediate attention was especially appreciated.
They send detailed pictures and written explanation of every issue before customer authorizes them to repair each issue
If you want an honest, local, family-run business to work on your car, look no further. Highly recommended.
I wish there was an option for 6 stars because this place deserves it. Ive taken my vehicle here for oil changes / inspections / general repairs for a couple years now and I am always given exceptional service. The entire staff makes vehicle maintenance, which can be a stressful situation at times, easy to understand and manageable. I took my vehicle here the first time because it was close to home, after having several repairs done at First Landing Auto Care over the years, I would drive across town just to work with these people again. I consistently recommend this auto repair shop to friends and family. Give these people your business and support them- you will be happy and taken care of.
I had the most excellent experience with this group. I have a fleet vehicle that needed serviced and took it to them. Drop off the night before was a breeze with their box outside and they quickly called the next day with the report.I was prepared to coordinate payment through Element since it was over the authorized amount for employees and they already handled it all. It was so easy and they were very polite, prompt, and professional.They have a small lock box outside with individual lockers for after hours pick up. Very convenient!
Ross & Carol Anderton are awesome owners. Great detail and professionalism. All their associates are always courteous and polite. Work performed is thorough and on a timely basis. 6+ stars from me!
Excellent service by qualified personnel who are honest ( read not up sell) and expedient
Got a used car inspection, and was very pleased with the service at First Landing Auto Care...Ill be back for sure!
Always professional, very friendly and easy to deal with. Very accommodating if you have a special requirement. A definite asset to the Short Drive community!
First Landing provides honest, trustworthy, and reliable service. They have taken care of both routine maintenance and unexpected issues with our vehicles and the customer service is excellent. I have never felt like they were trying to upsell me on unnecessary services and I feel confident in the work that they provide. Phil helped me prioritize recommended services in a timeline and a price structure that I can afford. I remain a loyal customer and would recommend their business to anyone in need of a excellent auto care.
Great services. Swift and eficient. Very friendly experience. Definetlly going back.
Excellent customer service. Tire pressure light was on in my new Promaster van and I was helped immediately; all tires checked and air added. Voila! Problem solved! You dont find service like that anymore, but you do here! I returned to have the first general maintenance performed on the vehicle and they did a great job. Fast, good value and always good customer service. Now, taking both of my vehicles here and will continue to do so. Highly recommend.
They were great helping me get my car running after a weird electrical issue!
Ross and Carol always take excellent care of me and my family! Fair pricing, quality work, and a smile to go with it. I highly recommend supporting this locally owned and operated business.
I appreciated their detailed analysis of the condition of my car and I appreciated that they didnt pressure me to perform work that did not need completed. That said, the prices seemed heavy, but sometimes you get what you pay for. Overall, Im pleased with my experience at First Landing Auto Care.
It was fixed quickly and the staff was super pleasant.
Thank you First Landing Auto Care and Tracy for your professionalism, transparency and outstanding service. You have a loyal customer in me!
I always get my truck inspections done here. Recommend..
Very courteous and accommodating service.
You couldnt find nicer people.Highly trained technicians, convenient location. This should be your shop
Phil and crew were great. I went in for an inspection and they gave my a rundown on things that needed to be fixed as well. It passed inspection, but gave me an idea of future things that needed to be fixed. Great job. Thanks a bunch.
I just moved to the area and needed a state inspection. Not only did I get an inspection but I got lots of information about the area, where to eat, what to see. So very friendly! Keeping them for car maintenance!
I have only used FLAC for a little over a year. I was previously going to their competition across the street. After multiple bad experiences at the competition, I went to FLAC. Every time I take a vehicle in, they are so professional, friendly, and offer good advice. Most recently I took my vehicle for inspection prior to leaving the country and they were very thorough. Phil walked me through everything recommended and why it was needed and was able to answer all my questions. I also appreciated the drop off and after hours pick up service because I have to work during the hours they are open. If you want a place that takes good care of not just your car, but also YOU, this is the place.
Top quality repair shop that employs knowledgeable, professional mechanics; willing to work overtime to complete the required repairs.
EXCELLENT customer service. Thorough and professional reporting of any issues sent via text and email. Fair and reasonable pricing for all services. My car has a home.
They are the best auto care business i have been to since I moved to Virginia Beach 5 years ago!!!
Very professional and quality work! First Landing’s complete diagnosis/inspection including photos of all key components is very helpful. It provides you with 3 levels of recommendations on what/when to repair and it is like nothing else I’ve ever seen. Also, the knowledgeable, personable and friendly woman up front provides the best customer service!
Very personable staff, and they also use a great system that captures all aspects of the diagnostics with photos, sending it electronically for reference. I use them regularly and would recommend without question.
Annual State Inspection. Also friendly & great service!!
This business is amazing. I am in Virginia Beach on vacation from NY State. There was an issue with my vehicle. They responded quickly and said they would be happy to help. The people were all so friendly and helpful. They found the problem quickly. The price was reasonable. I was shortly ready to get back to enjoying my vacation. Thank you to all the great people at First Landing Auto!
They were following all safety directives, and they did an amazing job inspecting my new to me car and helping create a list of things to fix. They were so friendly and nice too!
Outstanding service year after year! they always do a great job with my state inspection. Most importantly I love the detailed report that clearly outlines the status of my car mot just through words but pictures as well. I can tell they are more about building a relationship with their customer and it shows down to the nice little goodies bag they leave in the car after service thanking us for our loyalty. I always recommend them to my friends and family.
Wonderful Customer Service !! On time and Kind
Can always trust First Landing Auto to work thoroughly and professionally on our cars. They are the best!
Great people and Excellent service!! They really care for their customers. They review EVERYTHING with you down to the littlest rusted bolt (exaggerated just a wee bit) using a very helpful visual snapshot of all work done which includes pictures and videos which they also email to you so you can keep track of the upcoming maintenance needed for your vehicle. They totally personalize the service to you. I HIGHLY recommend First Landing Auto Care!!!!
Was charged for a diagnostic that I did not ask for. They charged me for using a OBD reader when all I needed was a replacement part that was damaged.
Only place I trust to take my vehicle. Always professional. Great customer service. I will only take my car here. Would recommend to anybody.
Excellent to work with! Great customer service. Really great to work with. I will never go anywhere else.
I got my car inspected! They were on time and done quickly and professionally.
Had a state inspection. Really appreciated the fact that the mechanic took the time to show me some future problem areas.
Love them! Great work, friendly
Excellent customer service. They do a thorough job and stand behind their workmanship. I appreciate the pride they take in their work, that is hard to find nowadays.
Extremely pleased with the service. Took my SUV in due to a headlight issue and inspection was due as well. Fantastic service! Everything was explained and completed including a text with descriptions and pictures. No additional work was performed and a list of possible work needed down the road was included since my SUV is 14 years old. Very pleased. What a nice experience and within walking distance of home to boot. A big thumbs up!!
My experience at First Landing Autocare on Shore Drive could not have possibly been better. I left my car, after-hours, because it was due for a State Inspection. They have a great system, a Dropbox envelope & you leave your key, respectful of Covid 19. The diagnostic report they gave me afterward was extremely helpful. They checked everything! They called me later in the day & said my only issue was that my headlight lenses were too fogged. I got them to fix my lenses in my geriatric LS430. They did such an awesome repair. My girl looks brand new! Wish I could include a pic!
Courteous. Timely. Take the time to explain issues with you. Use technology to communicate, but are also available on the phone. Welcoming lobby area.
I had a rush job I really needed done and they took the time to accommodate me on short notice
We have been customers for around 15 years. They are courteous and professional and knowing you do not have to be concerned about their repairs because it is done right the first time is wonderful! Each car is like their own and they want you to be safe and satisfied with their work they do. No matter what the problem is nothing is to small they are always there to help you. We are blessed that they are part of our community here in Virginia Beach.
It is so nice to be able to schedule an inspection for your vehicle.
Friending and helpful.
First Landing Auto Care is the best! I am so pleased with their customer service and how they take care of me. Both Tracy and Carol are great customer service representatives. I totally recommend First Landing Auto Care for a very honest, fair, and customer service oriented business. I will continue to use First Landing and want others to know how great they are.
I have taken my car to First Landing Auto Care since I moved here this summer. They are true professionals and I feel that they take a lot of pride in their work. I know my car is in good hands. I appreciate the printouts of what the inspection revealed, along with an electronic link to the pdf. They have no issues with you waiting for your care, and have a nice area where you can have a cup of coffee and relax. I will continue to recommend this location to family and friends in the area and clearly leave them in charge of my Chrysler’s maintenance and repair needs.
This type of service provider does not exist anymore. The service you receive from your first encounter with anyone at First Landing Auto Care is second to none. The care and attention to every detail are the best I have ever witnessed in getting my car repaired. I stopped going to the dealers service and now use First Landing for all of my auto needs.
Have used First Landing Auto Care for over 6 years since I purchased my Honda Civic. It still runs great, and I feel confident that it will for another 6 years.
First Landing Auto Care has been taking good care of us for years! Always helpful, honest, reasonably priced. I trust them as they give me a full run down on anything that might be coming up, like when I will need new tires, which helps me budget & plan for things like that. Very helpful to have details! And a very nice friendly staff and owners. Customer service is wonderful.
Super friendly, honest and attentive
I recently went here to get a state safety inspection on my vehicle. I purchased the vehicle out of state and still had temporary tags on my vehicle. When I went in to drop off my car I told the staff I was not sure of my actual license plate number ( I had just recently received them in the mail) but they were in my trunk in case they needed the number. Before I even picked up the vehicle they had sent me pictures of the results of my inspection along with a comprehensive report of the points they had inspected. In addition (without me having to ask) they removed my temporary plate and installed my Virginia plates on the vehicle. They were very helpful and in my opinion went beyond the scope of just doing the bare minimum to make the process easy and customer friendly. This level of customer service is why I chose to give them a 5 star rating and will most definitely recommend them in the future. Thank you for making the process so easy!
Very professional! Great work!
Very knowledgeable and friendly. Quick service. Just arrived in VA Beach and will be using them for all our care care needs.
Great customer service.
Took my truck for inspection and received a detailed print out with images of any issues. I do most all of my own maintenance, but they also provided a detailed list of recommended services and were not pushy about getting them done there. Overall they seem like a very helpful and honest shop...will be a return customer.
This place is the best place I have ever taken my car too in all of Canada & the US.Originally went there the first time because I needed state car stickers- I’ve taken my car there a few times since for oil changes and maintenance and new brakes. They have amazing customer service and do great work. And a bonus they give you yummy candy which actually did brighten my day 💛. My husband believes he should only go to the dealer for car work but he’s now saying he’s going here too. 👍
Extremely helpful, honest shop. Professional and thorough. I feel very comfortable taking any of my cars to them. I am so happy I found such a great mechanic. They even left mints and a nice report for me about my car!
Great customer service. I have never had a better experience at an automotive repair shop. They were friendly, helpful, prompt and reasonably priced. No high pressure to do questionable repairs either--just the facts and pictures to back up their recommendations. I believe weve found our new go-to shop. Thank you!
Awesome Auto Repair Company!
It is like every customer is a member of the family. You have a knowledgeable and trustworthy family member. The work was done promptly and explained well for a great price! I also needed a bit of body fixing. They gave me a recommendation and I was just as pleased with that service! Nice to have superior people to help you all over!
Customer service was wonderful! I was able to get in, get my car diagnosed and repaired all within a couple of hours. When I got the bill, it didn’t break my heart! I will always be bringing my car here from now on!
Chief Mechanic Steve is fantastic, frighteningly honest, just like the rest of the place.
Great
Best auto service Ive ever had! Tracy went above and beyond to make sure my car was taken care of and the mechanics were top notch!
I didnt even end up putting my car in the shop and I loved this place. The people I spoke with were so friendly and reassuring. I cant wait to go back
Absolutely will be coming back! The staff was pleasant and they walked me though everything going on with my A/C repair and my inspection, despite being a college aged female. Above average customer service and wonderful people.
Ive taken two cars here for state inspection this year and was very impressed both times. They do their own complimentary inspection and give you a nice little diagnostics printout that breaks down issues, both small and pertinent. They will only fail you on issues related directly to state inspection and will not demand unrelated work like soooo many other shops. Estimates are printed for suggested work to be done, whether unrelated to state inspection or things that will eventually fail state inspection.I have not yet had any repairs done here but they seem to pride themselves on transparency and integrity, I definitely recommend them.The waiting area is cozy, with snacks and the morning paper. The front desk staff are very knowledgeable and nice. Go here!
We are new to the area and heard great things about this place and they did not disappoint. They were courteous, professional, and fun. We brought in both cars and had A LOT of work done in a timely manner without an appointment. I would recommend them to anybody. Honest, fair, kind and funny too!
David was great to work with. Very helpful and kind! They paid for my uber ride home while my car was inspected. He laid out everything honestly and even helped me find someone to sell my car to. This is where we will be bringing all of our vehicles for maintenance in the future.
Tracy is most wonderful. Service is great and affordable. Theyve gone above and beyond each and every visit. I feel more like a neighbor than a customer. Thanks for everything, see you next visit!
I felt very much at home here, only the waiting room was kinda chilly. I love the little care bag they gave me. A real welcome center in spirit.
The team at First Landing Auto Care did a great job on our vehicle. Tracy was very helpful, professional and thorough. I highly recommend this shop.
I really appreciate the excellent care and service provided by First Landing Auto Care. My Subaru had a squirrel infestation with chewed wires and insulation. They were able to resolve the problem quickly and efficiently. Thank you!
Based on Google Reviews & NextDoor neighbor recommendations, I tried our First Landing Auto Care when my brake lights went out on my car. I dropped it off and it was ready the next morning. The service was great and the cost was very reasonable. A big plus is they are right outside my neighborhood which was super convenient! We even got a thank you bag with candy in the car. I highly recommend them.
Very accommodating and friendly! They took care of me when another service center said they were too booked. I received great service and plan to return! Out-of-town guests went there and said they received great service, too! I also appreciate that they have email reminders and online appointment requests. Nov. 11
Been going there for years. Always been happy with the quality and prices.
Great service and great people persons working there. I started using First Landing Auto Care when Mike Slack moved from the service station across the street from First Landing Auto Care. Mike and his dad have been servicing my vehicles for more than approximately 18 years. I have found Mike to be an honest, reliable, and trustworthy mechanic. The new owners of the service station across the street where not very friendly and I felt they were out for the almighty dollar. Plus I had been doing business with the old owners for over 17 years before the new one took over. . Since I moved from the service station across the street, I would recommend First Landing Auto Care to anyone looking for a friendly, honest and first class business to provide for all there automotive needs. Also, I must mention the Service Advisor, Tracey Sordi, she makes you feel important as well as caring about your automotive needs.This is not a paid announcement, it is straight from my feeling on how I have been received and treated since using First Landing Auto Care. That goes for both locations.First Class.
Im glad I found First Landing Auto Care last year when I needed air in the tires. Someone comes out and actually does it for you with a smile! Recent oil change was done quickly while I waited in the pleasant waiting room complete with refreshments. I recommend First Landing to everyone I meet.
First Landing Auto Care is a great local business. Very personable staff, great communication, and honest when it comes to dealing with automotive issues. Cant really say those things about many auto shops. Thank you!
Seriously the best place to have you car looked at. Did a pre-cross country checkout with them, had a 11 page detailed report (with pictures!) of my car emailed to me within a few hours. They cared enough to do some research on my vehicle including finding out where it came from to get more information on a pending issue.Ive lived in many places, dealt with many car repair places and it doesnt get better than this folks.
Outstanding service all around! They kept in constant contact with me regarding my vehicle. They supplied pictures to me for all the work that needed to be done. Thye care about their customers and you can truly tell! I would highly recommend them!
Took my car in for an inspection and got great service with a quick turnaround. Steve went above and beyond by not only letting me know what needed to be done for my inspection but also some other things he found as recommendations. All he did was provide the details ... no pressure! I think Ill be coming back here for a while.
Just used their services for the first time, very happy with the work they did for me. Would recommend them.
Very professional, friendly service. Will definitely be back. I havent had anything other than an oil change so far but will write/edit another review once I have more extensive work done.
Another successful visit to FLAC. The customer service and level of expertise here is unsurpassed. My heat stopped working in my car ... clearly not the best time for it... and 3 hours after I brought my car in, they had diagnosed the problem, and five hours after that, I had my car back in full working order. FLAC treats you like family, from start to finish, and I will never let anyone else take care of my car!
Definitely overpriced and compleetly unethical in my personal opinion, My wife brought her car in due to her brakes acting weird. She asked for a state inspection to be done and if someone could look at the brakes.Now as everyone knows the brake system is mandatorily checked during state inspections, however they charged us an additional 63$ for inspecting the brakes.Unfortunately I was not there originally to make sure they werent going to pull something like this, and I didnt have time to argue about it.Now understand im not upset that the car failed, I completely understand why, but your practices are disappointing and I hope someone reads this and makes sure that they get an mechanic that wont try this.
