Hands down the best service Ive ever received! They rebuilt/upgraded my transmission on my lifted Cummins with 40 tires. They also gave expert advice on several other upgrades I plan having done. Amazing family owned business with great staff and great prices! Rory & Son will be my first and only choice for all future upgrades. See yall soon for the gear ratio upgrade! π€ͺ
They were very friendly and were not afraid to send photos or give me in-depth detail about what was wrong with my transmission. The return time was very quick and cheap to boot. Overall great experience I highly recommend.
Took my 69 RS/SS matching numbers 396 camaro to them to fix a botched job done by another rod shop. They made me feel right at home and showed me my baby would be safe. They fixed everything plus more that was wrong. Went above and beyond what I expected and cost me a third of what I paid the other guy. Gonna bring my 71 C20 pick up to them next.
These guys are the best. I stopped using garages years ago because I always got ripped off. Someone recommended them to me for transmission repairs and I am glad they did. They were able to get my remanufactured transmission put in, in between their already busy schedule. Everything was ran great. Six months later I had to have it serviced because an internal nut was not tighten properly from the company I bought it from. But within two days these guys worked with me and the warranty folks to get the job done. I would not recommend any shop, but them to work on anyones vehicle.
Same day rear differential rebuild on a 2016 F150. Give them a call and schedule. Highly recommend. Best price and service in Virginia.
Theses guys are great. Brought my truck in for what I thought was differential carrier bearings. Turned out to be pinion bearings. James kept me very well informed throughout the process and went above and beyond all expectations. Iβll recommend them every chance I get. They are very polite, courteous, and efficient. Thanks again to the team at Rory and Sons.
This business is awesome. Needed help in an emergency and they fit me in, wasnt my transmission, referred me to another local business. Super friendly and accomodating. Would give 10 stars!
These guys are IT! It makes total sense that they have lifelong customers. This father and son small business is some of the most honest and quality work/customer service Iβve seen.
I canβt express how blessed I am to have found Rory & Sons! I had lost all hope in getting my truck fixedthey where honest with me from day one they where patient with me and my 101 annoying questions I had and they stayed in constant communication with me the whole time and really made me feel more like a friend not just a customer. Iβm VERY happy with the work they did! What a wonderful business and all the fantastic people who work there I cannot even begin to say how thankful I am for Rory and sons! Your the best.
Excellent place of business. Very professional. Booked for EVER, but once you get in the business is legit!!
Quick turn around and very please with there honesty. skill set is outah this world. they are my new go to spot.
I dont really trust shops, Ive worked on my own cars and trucks for years, but Rorys shop is one that I trust to work on my vehicles. I recommend them to anyone that needs quality, trustworthy work done.
Very affordable and great service.
Have been having car problems and the dealership I bought my car from told me they canβt help so decided to try this place out. Wonderful people, helped in every way they could. Came right out to inspect my car and help me better understand what would need to be done in order to get it running correctly again. I will 100% return to this shop in the future if I have car issues again.
Been Dealing with Rory and James for 6 years now, outstanding work. They Built a transmission for me that could support my 600HP motor that I drove 3k miles to Seattle Washington 5 days after the build. My greatest accomplishment date with ZERO issues. Thanks Fellas
You can tell that they love what they do. Their customer service was great!
Rory and Son did fantastic work on what turned out to be a pretty big job for my foxbody mustang. They completed a half-finished transmission swap, fixed/replaced lots of little of odds and ends, and ended up rebuilding a very damaged T56 for me.Their prices were extremely fair, their communication was clear and great, and they didnβt get annoyed with all of my questions and phone calls.I cannot recommend them enough and can see why they have a shop full of interesting builds.
Last winter I was calling shops in my area for quotes to install catalytic converters on my 15 year old Chrysler. Most companies were not very friendly over the phone and quoting higher than I anticipated. Rory and Son was friendly and accommodating immediately and they gave me a reasonable quote. I was comfortable to have them do the job and everything went smoothly.I have only gone to them for work since and they are always efficient and trustworthy. Ive even had to stop in for a minor emergency situation and they were able to help me, quickly, right there in the parking lot. They do not over charge or tack on unnecessary extras. They will help you locate parts if you wish to purchase outside of them and have them put them on. They are knowledgeable and kind. James is always a pleasure to speak with and feels like a friend at this point. 10/10 would recommend Rory and Son to everyone.
Good shop, the people are knowledgeable and are great at customer service π
Honest and Fair shop. Had an engine replaced in my wifes van and the experience was awesome. Was called to ask about new motor mounts while doing the swap, saving money in the process. James also took care of the alternator while it was out, so it could be rebuilt.Also, had my truck repaired and taken care of to get ready for inspection. All the work that was done was excellent and Ill definitely keep coming back for any major repairs needed for my vehicles in the future. Thanks guys, for taking care of us!
After calling multiple places to get some work done on my Titan, Rory and Son had the best price and more importantly the best customer service, explained things to me that I didnt understand, and did a great job with my truck, this is my new shop for both my trucks. Great Auto Shop!!!!!
This is a shop you can trust. My 2002 Durango had a Blown head gasket, they fixed it and had it back to me in 4 days. Great job. A trustworthy shop is hard to find. Iβm glad I gave them a shot. Great job guys
Drove over two hours to have my rear differential rebuilt in my 2011 Crown Vic when all of my local area shops wanted to completely replace it. Rory and Son told me over the phone it would be no problem to rebuild with a master bearing kit. Service was quick, affordable, and done right the first time! Thanks Guys!
These guys are top notch! I use them for all of my differential rebuilds, theyve got a very fast turn around time, order the best quality parts for their rebuilds and theyre worksmanship is unrivaled. If you need your differential rebuilt then this is the only place you need to call! Thank you to Rory and James for your continued service and support!
Absolutely love this shop theyve come to make me feel part of the family as I work on my build. They did and amazing job on my gears and Im beyond happy! Love this shop.
Hands down top notch!
These guys are professional and trustworthy. Most importantly they are fair priced. They have worked on all of my vehicles and Ive never had any issues. If you need a reliable car guy, try them out.
There are alot of good mechanics out there but if you want a great mechanic who you can trust, Rory & Son is the place to go.
Very dissatisfied with my experience with this shop. I came to Rory in a time of need. Im in the Navy and had two weeks to get my transmission fixed due to needing to be back at my duty station. They promised to get everything fixed and be better than stock, capable of 650hp and that they do these builds all the time. I was super happy to hear this. I asked before they did anything, what would happen if something happened to the newly rebuilt transmission? They said weve had that happen and collaborated with other shops and worked with them to get everything fixed. Not only did I end up having to take leave to get the truck fixed because they didnt fix it in time but when they said they were done the truck still hesitated to engage in drive. They went back in and found a clogged pump. Something that shouldve been fixed to begin with. After all this finally I had my truck back and was satisfied. After only 12000 miles on the truck after the rebuild my transmission is toast. I called Rory and basically was told there was nothing they could or would do. So after dropping 5200 dollars with these guys Im stuck in the same position as I was before hand. They offered no help and told me we cant warranty soft parts. I called Alto, the company that manufactures the clutch packs, and they said that was 100% false. That they would and will warranty my clutch packs.
Very nice and knowledgeable people, with very fair prices. Quoted me almost 500 dollars less then those jokers at Virginia speed to install 4.10 gears into my mustang. I would recommend them to anyone who needs performance parts installed.
This is a two-part review, as I appear to have neglected to leave one from the last time I had work done here.Rory, James and Co did an absolutely killer rework on my Crown Victoria last year. They swapped in a PI motor (and even arranged for the core to be returned), long tube headers, high stall torque converter, and completely rebuilt the rear end (3.73s, LSD, new seals, etc). Threw a custom tune on it, and a year and a half and over 15,000 miles later, it still runs like a scalded ape! Every single retainer, bolt, cover, wire, etc was back on the motor, like it was brand new. Their attention to detail absolutely amazed me, and James would e-mail me status updates as the job went along.More recently, I had a steering column with too much play in one of my other cars. I yanked a steering column from the pick and pull, but was leery of attempting to put it on myself, since the ignition module, shifter, levers, clockspring, etc all had to be switched out. I was quoted an extremely fair price over the phone, and brought it in shortly after.They noticed that my existing steering column had some set screws that were loose, and only charged me a fraction of the original quote by just snugging them up. Thats right folks, these guys could have done the job I asked them to do for MORE money (and I would have been none the wiser), but they were HONEST and tried to save me money. You dont see that too often. If at all.The set screws began causing some clicking noises shortly after (come to find out, this is from a previous mechanic goofing with it as a band-aid fix to rip off the previous owner--had nothing to do with Rory and Son), so I brought it back for Rory to take a look at it. He went out of his way to actually schedule me in for a same day appointment, credited me the original amount I paid, *AND* tweaked my exhaust so it was level. I cant make this stuff up.I am a shade tree mechanic, and have been wrenching since I grew enough of a pair to bust a lug nut loose, so I know enough to be dangerous and to call BS when I see it. And you wont find any of that BS here. Rory, James, and the other mechanics they have on staff are the real deal. They are glad to tackle the tough jobs that are beyond my level of expertise, and I am glad to drive 30+ minutes one way to have them do just that. I look forward to the repeat business and the continued superior work they do.
Brought our 2004 Suburban up for a remanufacture replacement. James was nice, honest and upfront with everything. The work was done fast and correctly the FIRST TIME. This was a great experience compared to the National chain we dealt with, with our last vehicle. We would definitely go back! Top Notch!!
They completely outfitted my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a suspension lift, trussed axles, sleeves, driveshafts, tire carrier, tires etc.... FLAWLESS work. Extremely high quality work with very fair prices. Highly recommended, you wont find a better shop in the area.
Had my TH350 rebuilt 4 years ago. Still tough as nails. Great people to deal with.
Excellent service!! Always professional, extremely knowledgeable. Top notch work. Would recommend them to all who need transmission, performance, or just regular service needs.
Roy and his son are very knowledgeable and great mechanics!! Work done quickly and very reasonably priced!!!
Its nice to find a honest mechanic with reasonable prices.
Needed a simple repair that I simply didnt have the tools for: driveline center support bearing.Chevy dealer quoted $1000 for a bearing and three u-joints using OEM, non-serviceable parts.Rory & Son did the job while I was at work for $400 and some change using top of the line, serviceable parts.Five stars for the quality work and affordable price alone. I just wish I could give another star for the friendly customer support at this father-son shop.
Friday, July 8th, after looking online for a transmission specialist, I came across Roy and Son. They had a review rating of 5 stars. After reading all of the reviews, I went to their web and read their story. Once I read their story, I was convinced that I had to go see them. That afternoon, I visited their shop and described to them what I thought my issues were with my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. Before I could even finish describing my problems, Rory was able to give a quick diagnosis and from memory tell me what make and model of transmission was in my truck. Very impressive. Since it was late on Friday, he told me to bring it back the following Tuesday and we would take it for a test drive to confirm is initial diagnosis.Tuesday, 12 July, took my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 to Rory and Son for what I thought was my transmission slipping when shifting into overdrive. Rory and I took it for a test drive and he informed me that what I thought was slippage based on the symptom I described that previous Friday, was actually a cylinder misfire. To confirm his suspicion, Rory hooked his OBD II Code scanner to run a quick test of the computer. While hooked up, we took my truck back out for a test drive and confirmed that it was Cylinder 2 misfire condition and not the transmission. I asked him what I owed him for his time, he said nothing. I thanked him for his time and how much I appreciated his.He advised me to check the spark plugs and said more than likely that was my issue. On Saturday, 16 July, I changed out all 8 of my spark plugs. All 8 of my spark plugs were completely shot. I changed them out and since then my truck has is running great with no slippage/bucking going on in between shifts.Thank you again Rory. What could have been a $1500 repair, only cost me $25 for spark plugs and a few hours of labor on my part.These guys are legit and know their stuff. Customer Service is outstanding. I highly recommend them.Chris Noble - Very Satisfied Customer
Dont let the name fool you, these guys do a hell of a lot more than transmissions and drivelines. Ive had a few performance parts installed into my car by these guys and they have done an excellent job each time. These guys are very professional with their work and customer service is excellent. Plus they have an awesome pitbull. I would recommend this place to anyone who has car problems or just wants to upgrade their vehicle.
Had several rear end jobs done on uncommon performance applications, and both times they came out perfect. These are your guys for differential work.
Great people and they know their stuff! they never give you the run around would recommend to everyone that need professional stuff done to their car.
Awsome work great prices always happy with the service
Muscle car Masters. Rebuilt my transmission and performed some other custom work on my drivetrain. Excellent work that is priced right. I found my mechanic shop
These guys are great. They are knowledgeable and helped me with all my needs. Resonably priced and will go out of their way to help you get the best bang for your buck. Would reccomend them to everyone.
You can trust these guys theyre not the normal take your money and run people theyll give you a deal on diagnosis at the best price Im a 45-year MasterTech and I wouldnt be giving this reference if it wasnt the truth
Two Transmissions done and have been very pleased
Excellent work, great communication! Off the beaten path, honest and excellent workmanship on my differential and transfer case bearings and seals!
Awesome guys! They definitely look out for their customers and try and save them money where ever than can.
Rory is knowlegable about transmissions. They have rebuilt several for me and I am more than pleased with their quick turn around time and professionalism.
