I dropped off the car for inspection. They did exactly what they said they would do and finished at exactly when they said they would. Very easy, efficient and polite. I will continue to use them for my cars in the future.
They were very quick in repairing my truck. And the lady I spoke to over the phone has to be the nicest auto shop representative I’ve ever met. Patient and easy to understand.
I swooped in close to closing in a crisis situation. I was traveling solo with my son when I ran into major engine trouble and practically pushed the minivan into their parking lot. Jodi and the service staff went above and beyond to fit us in, make sure we were safe and comfortable, and got us up and running within an hour. I couldn’t be more grateful.
Visiting Williamsburg for a four day weekend and front left wheel bearing went out. Wasn’t sure I’d make it to their garage before the wheel fell off. They were busy yet worked me in and got it fixed the same day. I explained we needed to get back to Pennsylvania this Sunday. Very appreciative and thankful the could help us on such short notice. It really was an emergency. I wasn’t able to drive it at all until it was fixed. Thank you so much 👍
Excellent experience! They were great to communicate all issues along the repair process and the cost associated with each repair. Explained what was needed now and what could be completed at a later date. Never felt rushed when they were explaining the process. I feel that I got the work done for a fair and reasonable price as well. The work was done in a timely manner as well. This was a return trip as I have had other vehicles serviced here. I will definitely continue to bring our vehicles here for repairs and general service! Thank you!!
I had Scheduled an appointment for State Inspection and Oil Change. I wound up scheduling it for the wrong location (there are 3 in the area), but the staff was wonderful, the technician was thorough, and they were even able to immediately address an issue found during the state inspection. A+ team.
Brought in my car for an inspection, which was done within the day. However, they left paint marks on my cars interior and tried to upsell me on a bunch of fluid changes that I had had done just a few weeks prior as part of regular maintenance. I only recommend this place for inspection, and Id get a second opinion on anything else.
This is the second time we have taken our 2009 Audi A4 S cab into APA for specialized auto service. Each time we have found APA to be professional, organized, and with a quality- centric culture. .I especially like the auto inspection analysis summary they produce of the vehicle’s needs in order of criticality & service. So far, we have experienced nothing short of quality mechanical service from APA. Very impressed with Jody and her professional customer care followup, and Tyler who is a skilled certified auto technician. Thank you Greg & team for the excellent service & experience!
Professional and friendly. I have had 2 good experiences here and would recommend to anyone. They dont try and sell you something you dont need like some places do.
I like to work on my own vehicles whenever possible, but when I havent had the time or the tools, the techs at American Pride (Williamsburg Location) have performed State Inspections on both of our family vehicles and numerous repairs from minor (fluid changes) to complicated (head-gaskets) all the way to complex diagnostic work (ultimately requiring a replacement engine computer). The work is always done well, always complete when they say it will be done, and at the price they quote...one time, even *below* the quote. To top it off, Ive always been treated well by a consistently professional staff. Two thumbs up.
I dont usually review places but I felt like this place deserved it. I dont know much about cars but by the end of my time dealing with them I knew exactly what they were doing and the exact price of how much everything was gonna be. No games no funny business extremely helpful and very fast. Couldnt ask for anything better.
Everyone at American Pride was professional, caring and helpful! I recommend everyone needing car repairs to at least consider them. You won’t regret it!
This place is top notch. They were easy to communicate with and they provided an intuitive email link with a breakdown of what was done and needed on my vehicle. Fair prices and never felt pressured.
Changed three wiper blades and William did a wonderful job..Did not have one part, ordered it and called me back in less than an hour, I returned and he changed all three while I waited!Super job
The staff was friendly, and delivered on expectations and exceeded them. The repairs on my vehicle werent the cheapest, but they were still price competitive and far better than a dealership service center- and with far more accountability and transparency on pricing and labor. Additionally, they beat the timeline of repairs they had provided. I will be taking my vehicle back here when I need the break pads replaced in a few months, and for any other repairs I may need.
Amazing service! Car runs better than ever!! Best mechanics in town
Their the best! Customer Service is excellent. Price on service are fair. You will be satisfied!
From the moment I called to make the appointment, I had that feeling you get when you know youve made the right choice. I am out of town on vacation with a car issue....ugh....and these guys are ON the ball! They emailed me back quickly for a next day appointment, put me on text notice for updates, arranged for an uber back to the condo. If I couldve, Id have just stayed put and enjoyed the ambience, refrigerated complimentary drinks, lovely and doctors office clean waiting area with comfortable chairs and television and/or front porch with Adirondack chairs. They even took the number to call my mechanic back home to get up to speed on my car! I think Ill come back JUST to visit this place! A HUGE shout out!
The team at American Pride automotive is first class. Easy online scheduling, prompt service and not pushy with unnecessary repairs. My go to in Williamsburg!
This company has a very well thought out system. They make the process of getting work done are your car as painless as possible. They seem completely trustworthy and honest. Theyve got very modern technical solutions for involving you in the care of your car and showing you what needs to be done and why. I definitely recommend them.
They got us in and repaired the car quickly, which was important to us as we were on vacation and needed our vehicle the next day. I’ve never had better customer service at a mechanic as I did here. They updated us constantly without us having to ask. Super pleased with our experience here!
Excellent work! Very professional and accommodating.

Ive tried twice to take my cars to this place and I couldnt understand the bad attitude that one of the front desk associate has. Each time Ive given an excuse and taken my car somewhere else.
Very clean facility. Very comfortable waiting area. All of them, from the front desk to the garage include me in the process. I’m not just a number! They treat me with respect. It’s refreshing to find a repair shop that’s honest and displays integrity, just like the old days! Thanks y’all! I have confidence!
When my car broke down on the way home from my parents house, I was panicked- I knew no one who lived near Williamsburg and was hours away from my destination. Fortunately, I found American Pride Automotive! Greg and his team are incredible- I came in at 10 am and they provided the (multiple) repairs needed for me to be back on the road by 3 pm. Now my car is running better than ever! Valerie and Conner at the front desk were incredibly sweet, funny and accommodating. Having your car break down is not usually a positive experience, but they made it as painless, easy and (dare I say) fun as possible! I only wish I lived closer so they could be my regular mechanics! I will recommend them to everyone I know!
We bring all our cars and trucks to American Pride. There are 4 of us in our family that drive and everybody has their own vehicle. Maintenance is very important to us because all of our vehicles are older and keeping them in good working order is a necessity. We have always received excellent service at a fair price from American Pride. Initially the reason I wanted to use them is because of their support of the military. I read about their service day where they provide service to people in the military which is supported and paid for by other local businesses but the labor is provided by American Pride. That was an idea that I could get behind. Also when we have needed to purchase a car we always bring the car to American Pride to be looked at in advance of us purchasing the car. They charge a reasonable fee to go through the entire vehicle and look for any red flags.If your family is anything like our family and you need to have a dependable reliable vehicle its important to do your maintenance. Maintaining a car is less expensive then avoiding maintenance and running into a really big problem!Thank you American Pride.
I got a State Inspection here. The front desk workers were helpful and friendly. I was seen right away and the wait time was reasonable. They have a great wait area, particularly the front porch is well maintained and a nice way to wait on your vehicle. I’d suggest scheduling your service online since they get quite busy.
The fellas were able to get me in in such short notice and accomplished all I needed after Meineke Car care misquoted me price wise (quoted $80 charged $200) and misquoted me time wise (quoted 45 mins-1 hour took 4 hours). This shop was so friendly affordable and by far the nicest cleanest bathroom I’ve ever been in on any mechanics shop lol! Good Job Guys I purchased that car and I love it!
PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCEInteractive customer service experience via updates on the American Pride Automotive website. Greg oversaw a dynamic operation and was very informative. Daryl the mechanic is the best in the business in my opinion. The entire shop did an amazing job to the point where I picked up one vehicle and dropped off my other vehicle. 10 Stars! Great place! Highly recommend!
Absolutely the best mechanic in town. We have four cars in our family and we bring them all there for regular service. These are honest and decent people that are very professional and run and excellent business. They always provide a fair and honest assessment. They have saved me money on more than one occasion. I cant express enough the peace of mind that comes with patronizing this business. Great place!
I’ve used American Pride for the past 4 years since moving to Williamsburg and I’ve had nothing but professional, friendly and well-priced services. Most recently they were able to accommodate state inspection in a way that kept myself and family safe. They will always go the extra mile to be of service. Can’t recommend enough!
Ive been taking mine and my wifes cars here exclusively for about 2 years and am always impressed with the service they provide. I try to do as much work on my Jeep myself that I can, but theres been multiple times where I needed a diagnostic or just wasnt able to do it, and theyve always served me well! One of my favorite things they do is thoroughly document the car with pictures and notes, then at the end share a custom link to see all of the information they compiled for your problem, as well as other potential issues to look out for in the future.
Always satisfied with their work. Friendly, easy to make an appointment. During my latest appt I received an invoice lower than what I had been quoted. Seems they were able to obtain a needed part for less than they anticipated. Great place.
Friendly and professional staff, easy online appointment scheduling and able to fit me in promptly, and excellent communication around servicing needs, quotes, and updates on the work.
Quick and easy inspection. Their texted based notifications let me know exactly what the status of the process was. Will be taking all my vehicles here. Thanks for a great first time experience.
Seldom do I post reviews; however, after my recent experience with American Pride I felt the need to recognize the exceptional customer service I received from the team. For well over the past 5 years I had been taking my vehicles to another shop here in the Williamsburg area that always did a great job until recently being bought by a National chain that clearly gave an edict to drive margin, unfortunately at the expense of customer service or even ethics. Tired of dealing with repeated attempts of being upsold at every opportunity and price gouged for the service I did need I started my search for a shop where customer service along with a mindset of doing what is right for the customer existed. This search lead me to American Pride and over the last 6 months while having nothing but great experiences, my needs have been relatively straightforward consisting of normal maintenance services such as oil changes, tire rotations, state inspections and the such. That was up until my most recent visit where I needed a few routine maintenance items completed but more importantly have been dealing with what could be a fairly significant transmission issue. American Pride had the opportunity to rack up a huge service bill at my expense since I need to diagnose the problem and get it corrected as soon as possible. However, rather than seizing this opportunity at my expense, the way they handled the situation by researching the issue before doing any work, the providing suggestions to reach out the dealer first, as well as being transparent about what they could do but also suggesting alternatives for how I could save money, they not only have captured a new customer for life but they also instilled a level of trust and confidence that down the road when future issues come up and they suggest ways to address them, I’ll be at ease rather than wondering if I’m being taken to the cleaners.Well done American Pride! Simple actions on the part of your team have made a lasting impression.
They completed the state inspection in 20 minutes and cost me $20 while I was waiting. Make sure you arrange an appointment before time. They are really good at communicating with me to set up the ‘waiting’ appointment.
American Pride & Charlie were fantastic. I turned up on spec on Monday morning needing an oil change & an A/C belt replacement for our unique right-hand drive Japanese Hiace diesel camper van (were on a 12,000 mile round the continent road-trip from Vancouver, Canada) and everything was finished later that day. The service & communication were excellent. Thanks a bunch.
Had oil change, filters, tire rotation, transmission and transfer case fluid replaced, and overall check on my 2008 Acura RDX. American Pride did a great job; kept me informed at every stage of the process. Couldn’t be happier.
We moved here from out of state and have been very pleased with American Prides service, price & customer service. They will tell us things that must be done, will need to be done in the future & regular maintenance - along with cost. We have some old cars and theyve always been super in their service and they never take advantage. We enthusiastically reccommend American Pride.
The staff at American Pride Automotive are knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I was referred to them by a manager at a local tire shop...and they are now my go-to place for automotive repairs. Great experience!
Great service on time and at the right price!
Called about replacing a starter for my car and they wanted to charge me $305 for the part alone. The part at auto zone costs $130. If they will scam me for something that small they will do it for anything. Recommend looking around for more honest and fair businesses unless you want to spend 2 times more money.
Excellent customer service! I definitely recommend them to everyone I know! My car has been in for brakes, transmission, and more. I won’t take my vehicles anywhere else. They always keep their word and are on time. They’re also MUCH cheaper than anywhere else in Williamsburg!
I decided to give them a try after three terrible experiences with Williamsburg Chrysler. Honestly this was the best auto repair experience I have ever had. Greg (service writer) was very knowledgeable and honest. Tyler (technician) did a great job with my Jeep and everything he touched was left cleaner than when I brought it in. This is a sign that these guys take pride in their work. I wouldnt hesitate to return for future work.If only they sold cars and trucks I wouldnt need to go anywhere else.
Greg went the extra mile to help me and the car now runs as good as new!!
We had heard many wonderful things about American Pride and are very pleased to know it was all true. Extremely courteous and very knowledgeable folks! We didn’t feel pressured as some places try to up sale services. Kudos American Pride!
I don’t why anyone would any where else, my family has been trading here for 7 years and have always been treated with respect. Their communication with us is seem less, never ever been up charged or have tried to provide more than what’s was was required for the current job
American pride is the only shop in town that I would recommend. They are an honest fast and gives good prices. The reviews are legit! Don’t bother with any where else go here! Plus they also contribute to the community quite a bit. I will continue to return and bring my vehicles here.
Staff was extremely pleasant, answered my questions and completed job on time.
The staff at American Pride on Airport Rd are super. They really explain what the issue(s) are and what needs immediate attention. They are truly an honest repair shop. They are not going to try to sell you something you dont need. May God bless the staff and their families. I just wish other places were as honest and trustworthy as this place. They will have my business as long as Im able to drive a vehicle.
I will definitely be back! Very professional and courteous people running a tremendously efficient shop. Thanks for the cold water and air conditioned waiting area today!
I have taken all three of my vehicles to American Pride Automotive for State inspections. I was able to get appointments in most cases the next day and at very convenient times. Once there my vehicles were taken back and completed quickly. I would them recommend to anyone .
Done on time with a smile.
These men are honest to the core, patriotic and genuine. They gave me good sound advice and were courteous and professional. I will recommend them to everyone I know. Thanks guys and God bless American Pride!
Extremely happy with our experience with this great team. Very professional and best of all they guarantee their work. Had to take our car back, they checked it and diagnosed the problem to be a faulty part they had installed. I did t have to ask, they immediately said, “it’s on us”. I know it’s novel and obvious but these days, most businesses lack accountability and integrity. These guys are awesome and they have me for life. Thanks
Great team of people here. Honest & genuine. Will return for future maintenance / vehicle concerns.Cleanest automotive repair shop I have ever seen.
Brock & the team at American Pride were kind and consider to our car repair needs. They were very patience with us through the experience. They operate with professionalism, emphasizing customer care. Its also a nice to conduct business with a locally owned and operated well established business.
As always, excellent service at a fair price. I’ve always felt like they treat me right. They’re the only auto repair place I recommend in Williamsburg.
This is a friendly and knowledgeable staff that gives honest feedback about our car(s). Recently, they even suggested that we NOT do repair work since it wasnt worth the expense based on our cars unique situation. Weve used American Pride numerous times and always appreciate their guidance and professionalism.
My experience with American Pride over the years has been superb. Being in my 80s I have had many experiences with garage repair shops as well as service shops at auto dealerships. I rank American Pride on the top of the list. This repair shop strives to give top notch service to all of their customers, and they achieve that goal. I recommend their services with no reservations whatsoever. Joseph Trollinger
They did a very timely and great job. Really appreciate that they did my brake job quickly since I am from out of town. They also came in under the estimate. Thanks again
Always a great experience for my car servicing needs.
American Pride is great to work with. Their prices were reasonable with no hidden fees. They kept me informed by texts throughout the entire process. I had tires installed, wheel alignment and an oil change. I will definitely use them again.
Fantastic experience - courteous and knowledgeable staff, far and away the best in the business in the Williamsburg area. You can’t go wrong with these guys, deal with confidence!
I have an old car and went in to American Pride mostly for 3 things. One they did, one they said was not necessary and one they referred me to a tire store. There were a couple of other things that they recommended but did not pressure me into doing. In fact they were up front about what was important and what could wait. So refreshing to have thorough but honest automotive service. I highly recommend this business.
Ive come here for years. I am not sure how they compare price wise but I come here for the service. The people are amazing- professional, courteous, knowledgeable and thorough. They always give me a very easy to understand breakdown of all that is going on with my cars while also giving a very good assessment of what needs to be done now and what I can wait on. I trust them 100% and never feel lied to or pressured into having services I dont necessarily need. The waiting room is nice and comfortable. Also, really love their text message service that has a link to fully diagnostic info for the car. Lastly, their communication is excellent.
Friendly staff and a clean and comfortable waiting room. Service was timely.Got some price quotes for repairs, and having been to many places for my car in the past, they offered amazing prices.
As always these folks do a Amazingly Fantastic job Everytime!! If you have not given American Pride the chance to fix your cars issue, I would recommend doing so. You will be tremendously impressed!! From their staff of Service Writers at the front counter to their Top-Notch First Class Auto Mechanics.If your having mechanical troubles give American Pride the opportunity to IMPRESS you. You WILL NOT be disappointed.Charlie
I am a repeat customer and am very happy with the personal attention and service I receive at American Pride Automotive. I get a full explanation of the work performed and the price is quite reasonable. Friendly, professional atmosphere, too.
American pride did the virginia inspection on my car. They were very well organized and professional. In the waiting room there was an older person whose car would need more than a day to repair and the next day she was planning on driving somewhere a couple of hours away for thanks giving. They explained her car situation and then helped her rent a car and then drove her to the car rental place where they had found a rental car for her. That kind of service is exceptional. American pride gets five stars from me for their service and humanity.
They were very friendly professional and informative about everything they had to do to my vehicle
We were in from out of town two days before Christmas... easy pickin’s for some but not American Pride. They found the solution for our defect and it was quick and inexpensive. Nice people too. And the facility was clean, comfortable and high end. What could have been terrible turned out very well.
Ive had several vehicles serviced by American Pride. Theyre excellent every time. Professional, organized and very efficient and a pleasure to deal with.
I have confidence in their work. I have been going to American Pride for several years and have been satisfied with the way they provide service. When I have had to go to the dealer for recall or warranty work I am quickly reminded why I depend on American Pride to maintain my mini van in good working order.
I was recently visiting in the area and needed some repairs to my truck. I was impressed with the professionalism of American Pride. Also, the reporting system of repairs needed with pictures was a welcome feature that I had not experienced before. I would recommend American Pride to anyone.
As a consumer we all want to feel like we are being heard when we have a need to be met, and that’s exactly what you get when you bring your car to American Pride. I had a state inspection done recently and the ‘digital’ inspection they do (and share with you) is a wonderful tool. It’s great to actually see pictures of your car not just be told about it’s condition. The whole process is seamless, and the communication is top-notch.
Great group of guys to work with, fast service. Quality work that they stand behind. Kept me updated every step of the way. Will definitely be back and spread the word
I was on vacation and my A/C quit in my truck, 107 degreesThey took us in in the middle of the day and took care of my issueVery friendly, accommodating and professionalPrice was fairIf I lived in the area I’d use them when needed5 star!!
These guys are straight shooters, honest, and do a great job. I appreciate how they work with you and treat you like a part of the community. Excellent care and attention.
Personable and Perfect as usual. I’ve used American Pride Automotive since I moved to Williamsburg in 2013 and have never been disappointed with their service. I’ve trusted them with all 4 of my cars. I highly recommend their service to anyone looking for an honest, thorough Automotive Company To Care for their cars and their customers.Warm Regards,Judy Bernath
It was easy to schedule a time to get my car fix. They were very communicative and friendly. It made a for a stress-free mechanic experience, which I cant say of other local auto shops.
Always a great experience here! They are honest and have very fair pricing. No need to go anywhere else!
I have taken my car to APA twice, and both times, I have been impressed with their quick service, and their excellent customer service. This has included: regular updates via text, keeping the store open late so I can pickup my car after work, detailed reports on maintenance, and the option for early drop-off/late pickup.Great shop!
Ive been impressed with the quality of work, professional attitude, and the value provided by American Pride every time they serviced either of my cars over the last 4 years. I have recommended them to family and friends whenever possible.
I made an appointment online to get my car inspected. I dropped it off at my appointment time at 1:00 and within 15 minutes I got a text with the report on my inspection! The text and photo updates were really nice to get. My first time using them and I will definitely be back! Thank you!
I brought my car in for annual inspection which was completed quickly and efficiently.
These guys are the best! We have a daughter who recently graduated from William and Mary. We live in Wyoming so it was very important to us to have someone we could trust, taking care of her automotive needs. This is the perfect place. I always felt they were very honest, helpful, and fairly priced. Always willing to go the extra mile. Greg and Katee top notch! Our daughter was always completely comfortable in her dealings with them. Cant appreciate them enough!
As an African American I felt totally comfortable with my experience here at American Pride. The staff was friendly and courteous. They made suggestions of future repairs and prided reasonable pricing.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! First called to see if I can make an appointment for a state inspection, and thought I wasn’t gonna be able to get it on the last day of the month but they made time and was able to get it done. When I called, the guy who answered was super polite. Took my car in and the place was clean, smelled nice, and the employees all greeted me. They were quick but acknowledged you rather than other car places just trying to just rush you out. I’ve never had a nicer experience with a car place. Thank you so much :) also they send updates on what is going on with your car, I was treated very respectful there. Will always go here from now on.
After many years of taking my Toyota Camry to a dealer for repairs, I finally got smart after experiencing multiple mechanical problems. The dealers estimate was ridiculously high & fortunately, a friend had recently used APA so I contacted them. Kevin & Mathew were extremely helpful getting my car towed to them, determining the root cause of the problem, which the dealer had not done, and providing me with a much better quote than the dealer. My car was repaired on time and I could not be happier with their service. Above all, their customer service and attention to detail were exceptional and totally unexpected in todays world. I even received a hand written note from them....thats a big WOW! They now have a customer for life and I will highly recommend them to anyone who needs great full service auto repair!
After having a rough time scheduling services at other chain auto shops I was so pleasantly surprised at how easy and quick the service was here. Not to mention how friendly and professional the staff are. I will definitely be going back here for any future services.
I needed my car checked out. My schedule was busy. They worked me in so I could get my car checked out. Gave me honest information. This was my 2nd estimate. I was shocked by the low price. The other place quoted me 3 times the price. Also my report said no immediate needs. But have other items done later. Im new to the area. I want to thank them for the great service and the fair prices. I will definitely go there again.
Greg is an outstanding service manager. His team is reliable, professional and technically competent. Darryl is an extraordinarily talented technician whom we trust.
Requested 2nd opinion on the inefficiency of the air conditioning and rear differential fluid leak that the dealer had recommended replacing/rebuilding the entire assembly to both concerns quoting a total repair price of over, $3,900. American Pride assessed both concerns and determine the repairs did not require replacing/rebuilding of the entire unit but replacing specific worn parts costing me only $1,200 - a savings of over $2,700 and completed both repairs within 24 hours after receiving the parts needed. Thank-you American Pride!
This is the best place you can go to for all your car needs. They are so polite and really do go above and beyond for their customers. You can tell they value your business. They are very affordable as well. I will never go anywhere else.
Great job.
Alignment, all u-joints, cv joint, oil change, shocks all the way around in less than 24hrs. Professional customer service 👌... I will go back to American Pride Auto!
I was able to schedule an appointment conveniently online and received a quick response. The office staff was very polite. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes for my inspection. I think it’s great that they send you a list of possible work/things to look out for in the future in regards to service. I would definitely recommend this place!
