We intended to just go in to get my vehicle inspected for the state exam, however the car needed a replacement battery as we needed to jump it to even get it there. The team was friendly, responsive and gave us a nice itemized list of everything that was suggested. We didnt feel pressured or pushed into accepting anything we didnt want. Would definitely consult again if we needed repairs. Everything was done well and the car felt great back on the road.
I have personally done automotive repair myself for many years being in the used car business. Due to recent disability, I am no longer able to do the work. I Never thought I would find a shop out there that I could trust again to do the job right at a reasonable price. I recently took to them a truck I had just purchased that needed a significant repair. First Landing did the repair properly and the service was outstanding. The truck runs excellent! The price was more than fair for the type of repair and labor. They gave me one of the most detailed courtesy check reports that I have ever seen with many pictures of what my vehicle may need. They did not try to upsell me or take advantage of me with the repairs done. I cant believe that Ive found a place I can trust again but I have! Thank you again for the PROFESSIONAL SERVICE and honesty! I will return!
FLAC picked up my car, performed a state inspection and returned it... all within a matter of less than 2 hours. Both the phone contact for the appointment and the service were professional, friendly and informative. They answered all of my questions! I would highly recommend them to others!
These guys get it done and if it isnt quite right, they make it right. Very solid warranty. Very professional and courteous bunch of folks. They will definitely get the job done right. I highly recommend these fine folks for all your automotive needs.
They got me in just in time for my inspection. It’s so difficult to get in most places! I was panicking for sure. They finished it within a couple hours, and they even left a thank you note once I picked up my car, that’s fantastic service and shows they care about their clients. Will be returning for future services.
Dave at First Landing Auto was very professional and polite with scheduling and completing my car inspection. Seems like a well run shop.
Very quick and professional. I needed a last minute inspection/service and they managed to fit me in and make all the necessary repairs (including new brakes) before they closed.
First Landing at Thoroughgood takes such great care of our cars and our family! Their work is nothing short of exceptional as is their customer service. Having such a locally owned business right in our very neighborhood makes it even better!
Super Awesome 👌communication and I dont feel fear of being misled. Great company.
These guys were great and who I go to when I need service done.
Ive always trusted First Landing with performing all the services that I cannot do myself. They have an absolutely top notch and reliable service protocol. The prices are fair, and the turnaround is quick. Ive been recommending First Landing, since we started coming 7 years ago, to my friends in the Hampton Roads area even when i lived in Louisiana.
I really appreciate the great communication and the reports that they show you after they inspect your car. They did not pressure me to do the additional repairs needed. I will be back!
First time visiting this company and just for an inspection, but would not hesitate to go back for another service. I would say I got red carpet treatment😊 Dave is so professional and very customer service oriented.
Im always impressed by the customer service & great communication (both live and electronically), but its on the pricey side. The people are the reason i keep coming back@
Dave and Nicole are a pleasure to work with, they are so helpful and give it to your straight. He calls personally to explain any questions and I’ve gotten the best deals on EVERYTHING I refer everyone I know to this place and we are customers for life. I am so grateful to find a place I can actually trust.
Best customer service! Dave and the main office always go above and beyond for the customer! The mechanics are polite, honest, and professional! I am a repeat customer.
I love this place. They do a complete diagnostic inspection, but dont do a hard sell for services. They are thorough, fairly priced, and most imprtantly, honest.
This was the first time I used First Landing Auto Care. Dave was very professional and concerned about the problems I was having. He informed me of everything that was being done. The business even fixed my problem sooner than I thought. I will use them again in the future.Dana C.
Exceptional service, got both my vehicles inspected in a timely manner, remembered my appt even when I didnt and provided sound information about my vehicle for future repairs.
People were great in seeing us right away for an inspection. They were thorough and knowledgeable and beyond helpful. We will definitely use them again.
Dave and his team do top notch work without pressuring you into services you do not need. Estimates are accurate and they will tell which maintenance items are on the horizon but can be deferred. I also appreciate the highly detailed invoices and service reports. Keep up the hard work.
Some of the best people you will ever meet, best and newest technology that shows & proves your cars needs, helpful, trustworthy. Worth everything!! Thanks so much!
First Landing is the only place Ill go to have my car looked at. They can usually fit me in in a timely manner. They provide pictures, cost estimates, and an explanation of what is needed BEFORE you consent to work theyve found. Their prices are reasonably balanced. Theyre not as cheap as a drive-up chain, but they also dont push additional services as a way to up the cost.
Quality work at affordable prices ! Thanks for taking care of my Jetta !
Great service and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
We are exceptionally pleased with our relationship with First Landing Auto Care At Thoroughgood!! Dave Necole and all the guys are Great people to work with. Here at Beach Auto Brokers we pride ourselves with the quality of our vehicles. That starts with the quality of our repair and inspection stations. We highly recommend them for all your service needs!!!Adam Cheek - Service ManagerBeach Auto Brokers
I highly recommend First Landing at Thoroughgood. Its a small company that gives top rate friendly service!
Dave and thoroughgood first landing were the nicest team we have met when it comes to car maintenance! We took our car in for an inspection and they offered a common maintenance item they recommended specifically for the car. It didn’t feel “salesy” or like they were pulling one over in any way - they just wanted to do the right thing! I plan to take all our other cars here from now on!
Responsive and easy to work with
I came in for the safety inspection, Customer service was great! Will definitely come back.Thank you! to all the staff.
They are very friendly and professional.After the checkup, they sent me a through list of my cars condition and advise on what I should do to fix or improve my car. I also liked how they prioritized the needs of my car.The price is very reasonable and I totally recommend.
Nice, honest people!
Dave was excellent. Friendly service. Thorough attention to detail while vehicle was serviced
Excellent shop. Always done correctly. Customer for 4 years.
Top notch, those guys were easy to work with and provided great service. Really appreciate their customer focused approach.
I called and was given an estimated price of almost $700 to have my windshield wiper motor replaced in an 04 Honda which is an insane amount. I called 4 other shops around the area and they estimated prices between $300-$400. I decided to buy the $81 motor at autozone and replaced it myself.
Staff went out of their way to accommodate my needs!
Honest and quick.
Excellent service and friendly staff! Visited this location for state inspection. It was a busy Monday so I dropped off my vehicle around 10am and was able to pick up around 2pm. No complaints at all. Inspection results were very detailed oriented with pictures included. Additionally, I wasn’t pressured in any way to obtain service for any of the recommended services for my vehicle. I got what I needed for $16 and left fully satisfied.
Just AMAZING! Job was done super fast. Reasonable prices. Great service. Best experience Ive had in a long time ANYWHERE. Definitely going back.
Extremely thorough, very professional, and had both my vehicles done in just a few days. Their vehicle check they offer is amazing and I found out things about my vehicle I didn’t even know and saved me a lot of money finding out now! Highly recommended them. Dave and the team are awesome, all my clients and family now go.
First time Ive have used them, and now Im a LOYAL customer. To find an honest repair shop is a rare find. First Landing IS! Dave is a real straight shooter. I was consulted on what I had to have done and what I would need to have done later on. Visit one time and you will be a loyal customer to.
Thoroughly impressed! Dave worked in my car inspection same day and educated me on the systems of my car that needed work, by priority. I will be returning and sharing my good experience. It is refreshing to boast about customer service! Thank you—!
Air conditioner fixed in less than a day. Professional, competent, and provided detailed breakdown of recommendations for future service. Thank you bag with mints really sent my wife over the top. Just back here after 20 years away, and we’ve found our go-to car mechanics!!
This place is awesome. Active duty military and would pick this place over nex auto shop in a heart beat. The prices are honest, the work is honest, and I felt as though they were really trying to build a relationship with their customers. They finished the work in a timely manner. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a place to get repairs or maintenance.
This place was awesome! My fuel filter went out and I was in dire need. From start to finish it took less than 2 hours and super friedly staff, and excellent lobby stocked with food and drinks. Highly recommended!
My first time using First Landing. Dave arranged to pick up and drop off my van. He kept me informed during the repair and the Aircon is working great. Thanks
Very friendly and helpful staff. They fit me in for a same day state inspection. They were very attentive to the details... both in the actual inspection and in their customer service. I was surprised to find a small bag of mints and a pleasant car fragrance waiting for me when I picked it up.
I have been a loyal customer of First Landing since 2014, each and every time that I have brought one of my vehicles into this Automotive facility I have drove away very impressed and pleased with the shops customer service. From the courteous and knowledgeable receptionist too the skilled mechanics I have been overwhelmed with professionalism. Thank you everyone!Ken
They are extremely well organized, knowledgable and customer oriented. They work to obtain your trust and business. I only had a $16 car inspection but I am definitely going to try them for routine maintenance and car repairs.UPDATE- inspections are now $20 but the work done here is still high quality and honest. I used to live close by but now I travel 30 minutes to have them car for my car. Worth it!
I highly recommend First Landing Auto Care a Thoroughgood. They were extremely pleasant to work with, and did great work on my car. They also will send you a text that links to a complete report of what needs to be done on your car, with pictures and descriptions. Very helpful tool. If you need work done on your vehicle, go to First Landing Auto Care at Thoroughgood!
Dave helped me a lot with a my Honda hybrid civic he has great customer service and great advice ! I could truly tell this was not one of those places that try to get you for your money! Thank you for your help Dave !
Ive had multiple great experiences here! The staff is so friendly and communicative the whole time my car is in the shop. They got me in last minute when I really needed it. Support family-owned small businesses!
Hands down the best car service I have ever received. The staff is very friendly and take the time to answer in detail any questions or concerns you may have.I brought in a recently purchased used vehicle for an oil change and a courtesy look over. What I received was excellent customer service and quality work.I would recommend First Landing Auto Care to anyone looking for an honest auto shop. You truly walk away feeling you have received the best service without all the hassle.
Amazing service! I was super paranoid after getting taken advantage of at another auto shop, but the guys at first landing were completely honest and upfront about all the work they were doing. Had my car ready for pick up within 2 hours as well. I can’t recommend them enough.
Best mechanic we’ve ever been too. We’ve taken our 2 vehicles here for a variety of issues & are always pleased with the work First Landing Thoroughgood has done. Above & beyond! Great customer service too!
Always friendly, fair priced, and great service! First Landing Auto Care at Thoroughgood is a neighborhood gem that I hate to even publicize ... because I want to keep them all for myself! Thanks for the great work, service, and smiles you provide!
Wanted to charge me so much money for something I could get done cheaper. Not the place to go if you aren’t loaded with money.
These people are awesome! I took my car in yesterday at 8am for an inspection and some overheating issues and a couple of other issues. They talked me through what they needed to do and the pricing for the inspections and some different possibilities that could be causing the problems. Within 3 hours they sent me a very detailed link that explained everything they found during inspections, complete with photos and a phone call to discuss pricing. Unfortunately, the cost to repair everything was too high and my husband and I decided we would be better off just getting a new car. They were very understanding of this and even though we decided not to get the work done they still took time out of their day to come pick me and my son up to pick up the car. Looking over the papers and quoted pricing, I feel like, although the price was too high for us, the price was fair considering how much work my car would need. A lot of places will fix a thing or two knowing you will have to bring it back in a short while to fix something else. This place lets you know EVERYTHING including what may need to be taken care of in the near future. You have to appreciate how thorough and honest that is. The negative reviews that complain about pricing I feel are people that are looking to get something for free. The people at First Landing have families to support like the rest of us and overhead and taxes to pay like all other businesses. Personally, I feel like paying for quality work from honest upfront people is better than paying about the same or less for shotty work from somewhere else. I will definitely be returning to First Landing Auto Care and I would recommend them based on my own personal experience.
Just recently discovered this hidden gem. The customer service is outstanding! They are busy but the couple times my boyfriend and I have been here, theyve been polite and took their time talking to us making sure we understood everything. They arent rude like Bayside Auto up the street. They made recommendations for other service but they didnt try to push it on us like car salesmen. We really enjoyed our experiences here and will definitely be using this place in the future!
Dave and the whole team here really went out of their way to make sure I had a great experience. Lets face it, no one likes having to take their car in for repairs, but everyone at First Landing eased my pain a little bit. Pictures of every step in the inspection, a list of the things that are good, will need attention and those things that need to be done ASAP. Emails and phone calls kept me up to date on the process the whole time. And they had my van for only 1 day. Thanks Dave and everyone at First Landing Auto CARE. We will definitely continue to use you for our car care needs. As a small business owner myself, I dont just recommend anyone, but I do recommend these guys.
Very responsive and timely with vehicle appointments, so that your time can be maximized. They stand behind their work and if you are not fully satisfied or have concerns readily willing to verify their work and ensure your vehicle is completely road ready. Educates you on the special care you need to take for your hybrid vehicle. Keep up the great service.
This was my first time visiting First Landing Auto Care. They took my car in as scheduled and to my surprise they sent me a link with a full report of not only what they found was possibly the resolution to my car performance but an entire evaluation, with pictures, of good areas, areas they will require attention soon and areas that should be corrected now. Upfront and honest. I will be returning in the future. Thanks so much for being there. :)
Very friendly staff! They were very polite and professional and answered all our questions. I will definitely be bring my vehicles back here.
Great service! My vehicle got in a timely manner and finished for a vehicle inspection! Everyone was professional!
I absolutely love this place. They are so nice and attentive. Made am appointment Thursday and was in the next day. 1 he max for a safety inspection. Ill definitely be back
I dropped my vehicle off on the last minute to get a state inspection. Id never dealt with Ashley before, but she called me to keep me informed, and was extremely courteous. My vehicle needed a few OEM parts that she was able to locate and repairs were performed without issue. The entire repair process was flawless. Thank you Ashley and team!
I am very happy that I called the First Landing Auto Care at Thoroughgood for my car state inspection. It is my first time to bring my car here. I have hard time to find a shop to schedule my car for state inspection or the waiting time is horrible. I like the way they took a picture of the parts of your car for the state inspection. Their location is very convenient too. If you want to go to post office is just right across the street. If you want to go 7 eleven or Rite Aid is just a walking distance.
Great service. Showed up with no appointment and they got me right in. No hidden fees or attempts to sell unneeded service. The front desk was friendly and professional.
I called in for a last minute inspection. I was able to get an appointment with no problem. Upon getting there I found everything to be great! I was told that they were running a little behind on inspections but it wouldnt be long. It really wasnt, I was in and out in under 45 minutes! They brought my car around and had the air conditioner going already which was great on that sweltering day but the little goody bag left on the seat made my sons day.I recommend their services to anyone!
Love them honest and everyone there so pleasant to deal with, no high pressure to deal with. They are the only one I trust to work on my car, Keep up the good work. Thank you. Pat Marchand
I was 30 minutes late to an appointment because I couldn’t remember who I made it for because I called so many shops and they were still happy to service my car quickly! The customer service was great and they were fast too. And they gave me a cute little thank you bag. Thanks y’all!!
No one likes unexpected maintenance on a vehicle. The folks at First Landing were honest and forthcoming during the entire process. For any future routine or unexpected maintenance they will be the first place I take my vehicle. Highly recommend this auto shop.
Great service
Great care for you and your car!Even for a simple state inspection, I received a very detailed report with the support of images & videos. Also, a small gift for the kids:)
They were quick, professional, and very courteous. An absolute pleasure from the time I brought my car in to the time I picked it up. Hard to find these days. Thank you for your service.
I bring all my cars here to get serviced and I know I’m leaving them in good hands. I’ve been coming here for years and I’ve always had a great experience. I recommend these guys to my friends and family ever chance I get. Love you guys!
Convenient and flexible. They were cordial and the work was done in a timely fashion. The receipt was accompanied by a full inspection report showing all needed service and current status of the vehicle systems. It was a pleasant experience.
Took my car in for state inspection. Im new to the area, military. They were very nice and professional. They explained everything that would be done and how long it would take. The waiting room was clean, plenty of seating, and coffee available. I will definitely be back next year.
Thank you 🙏🏽 and very good service, professionalism, value and quality.
Dealing with Jordan you know what youre going to get. Great team to work with. They will give your car a FREE thorough inspection upon first arrival and keep on file for every visit after. Also offer a fleet discount program for business owners.
Family-owned business with friendly, personable, trustworthy and professional staff. Even though their other shop is a little closer to our home, its comforting to know I can get the same great service at this shop if the other shop is busy. Great communication with recommended service reminders via email, patient explanation of service, prompt phone calls when service completed, and follow up emails requesting information about your experience. High recommended.
First I am military, so I am relatively new to the area. I do not know much about cars, but I am big on preventive care. However, since moving here, the auto repair shops in the VB area has scared me. I know everyone is trying to make a living, but I found found it unfair as to how some repair shops have ripped off innocent people of their hard earned money. However, I think this company is the real deal. I found them on Yelp.I called them, and was able to be seen right away. They even offer at a charge to tow your car from your place to theirs. When you walk in, they have magazines, coffee, and snacks to munch on while you wait to find out what is wrong with you car. I was too nervous to try anything. If it is something doable within a certain time frame, they let you know. They were nice enough to give me a ride back home (I live 7 minutes away) since my car need some extra TLC so i am not waiting. I have yet to get the full picture of the car issue, but I have a good feeling about this place. Hopefully, I have found my auto shop because I am tired of the running around. My body and wallet is exhausted.
I have anxiety about anything car related since its both expensive and as a female, easily to be taken advantage of. I looked at the reviews on this place before deciding on somewhere to take my car for inspection and knew it had to be First Landing. I was impressed by the rating which is rare to find in the automotive world. I came in on the last day of the month which is always crazy for inspections, no appointment, and no time or way to leave the car. They were able to squeeze me in which I really appreciate since Im sure they didnt have much time. Unfortunately for me, my car failed inspection with a hefty legitimate repair. My motor mounts have been cracked for several years, so I know this to be true. So while my experience here was great, that bit of news was sorely taken. If I can find the money for the repair, I would likely go back to them to perform the work, regardless of others pricing, just due to the experience. They had a clean waiting area with a couple kids cars to play with, coffee, granola bars, and a TV. Impressed, just bummed I have to find a way to pay for this repair. Would love to see a coupon!
I was at first landing two weeks ago and these gentleman were so helpful and patient with me as I was having an emotional break down. I had very important plans and though they were busy that made sure I left all fixed up. They even checked my tires for me to make sure I was good to go on my journey. Thank you guys so much for your help!
Im not local to the area and tried numerous other auto care places before finding this place. I love it here. The service is great, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the online detailed reports I got for my car was an added plus! They do quality, honest work in a timely manner and coming from a small business family myself - I love that they are too. I highly recommend them to others.
Oil change, 2 tires mounted balanced and I am not taking my care anywhere else. Im very satisfied with the work and customer service both are excellent.
Just had my F150 100K check up done at First Landing Autocare. They we extremely friendly, prices are reasonable, and honest. My truck is now running great. I appreciate the service and will continue to bring my truck and future vehicles to First Landing Autocare.
I had an appointment (made the week prior) to have my oil changed at 1:30pm on a Wednesday. I dropped the car off and walked home with my three small children. As I got the kids in the stroller to walk them back at 4:15pm to pick up the car, I called to confirm that my car was ready. But they had not even looked at it. They said they would call before they closed at 5pm to let me know if it was done or not. No one called. I called when they opened the next day and had to come with my kids at 8:30am to pick it up, cancel an appointment, and mess up my babys sleep schedule to get my car back. No one even apologized.They have a neat feature that posts pictures of service issues to a link following your service...but mine includes pictures of dirty air filters that need to be replaced. If my car had been evaluated in a timely manner, they could have recommended the replacement and it would have been done same day. Now I need to take my car back into another shop to have the filters replaced. What an inconvenience! I will not be returning here.Update: This shop replaced our air filters for free with no wait time as an apology for our bad experience. With so many glowing reviews, its easy to believe that my negative experience was a fluke. So Ill return and give it another try.
Quick response, adhered to the time plan. Unlike many other places, I found them honest during my visit. I hope they will continue the same.
After a state inspection elsewhere, we were told our car needed new brakes. We brought it to First Landing to find out we actually have over 1/2 of the life left, and they provided a report with pictures to show us. After this comprehensive check we were told we have a properly functioning and safe vehicle. Comforting to find a service company provider with integrity, and theyve now won all our car maintenance and repair business.
Im guilty of thinking I know more about my truck than a mechanic that has gone to school specifically to do the job from time to time and I have been burned in the past by shade tree fellas. What I am trying to say is that Ive been hurt before. Im slow to trust. Its not you, its me.First Landing Auto Care not only did a phenomenal job fixing my brakes, but the packet they put together on the other issues they found complete with color pictures of the items was amazing. No pushiness. Just a hey, might want to look at this in the next six months.I will be looking at these things in the next six months. And I know exactly who I will be bringing my truck to when I do.
They WILL overcharge you. They thought I was a fool. There is absolutely no reason somebody should be paying almost $700 to have there cars inner tie-rods replaced. Also they charged me $74 for an oil change and $25 in labor for a tire rotation. What a joke. ZERO STARS
My husbands 2005 Ford Ranger quit on the road. We went to First Landing Auto Care and then had it towed there They gave us an extremely thorough depiction of what was wrong with the truck and gave us the option of what HAD to be fixed and what COULD be fixed later. They were very honest and ethical and service -oriented. They got the work done that we requested in a timely manner. Later in the day I had to talk to them about my Granddaughters car that was in an accident. They, once again, were honest about the fact that it would take far too much money to repair and came and towed the car away and paid her for parts they could use. We found their service and their ethics to be exceptional!
Our family has used First Landing for years. Very courteous, honest, and knowledgeable! We recommend them to everyone!
I had misread the due date for my oil change and My engine light came on. I went straight to FLAC and received an oil change on the spot! This family provides outstanding care and treats everyone like family.
Great experience! I needed new brakes, calipers, rotors and shocks. They took care of all my repairs within the time promised. They also checked out my entire car and presented me with a report that showed me what to expect in the future regarding repairs. I thought maybe at first they were going to push me to spend extra money instead they reviewed the entire report with me and pointed out things that I will need to be prepared for down the road. They also have a loyalty program where I earn points for every dollar I spend. The points I earn will take money off my next visit! Everyone was friendly and professional. I WILL recommend this shop to everyone I know! Thank you for EXCELLENT service!
Excellent same day service from a small, friendly auto care company! Went in to have my power steering looked at and their mechanic gladly did the repair as well as a full car check up with no added cost. Told me what was needed to keep my 10 year old car going for the next few years. Very happy with their service!
Wonderful place! Im new to the area and I felt very taken care of here! My car was even worked on and finished on the weekend when they arent supposed to be opened just so I could get it back on time. They did a fantastic job on making sure I understood everything that was done and were eager to answer any and all questions I had. I will most definitely be returning!
This was my first time at First Landing Auto Care and I was pleased with the service. I had my annual inspection and received a printout of items that needed attention (I passed, though). I made an appointment to have the oil changed on my mothers 2002 Toyota Prius which has always been serviced by the dealer. Its nice to know that we can go to a certified Hybrid mechanic right in our neighborhood! The front office was friendly and clean. I like the neighborhood feeling of the location. I enrolled in their loyalty program and hope to be able to have a relationship with this company in the future.
