They can fix your ISUZU TRUCK! The family business I work for sells furniture and our largest and most important piece of equipment is our Isuzu NPR box truck; it's our lift gate truck. I first truly appreciated that machine delivering a four-hundred pound mahogany armoire. So when it started having trouble a couple of months ago (check engine light, exhaust warnings, reduced performance) we took it where we always took it- probably the same place you take your large truck as it is well advertised, I'll call them the Can't Repair Autos Properly Shop, or CRAPS for short. So craps got the warnings turned off and gave us a diagnosis of what fix, which was around 5k. When we got the truck back there was a terrible squeal that sounded like a belt. A young craps employee told me it would "settle down" in time. It did not, and the truck broke down on its first run, oddly right in front of craps, with fluids spraying out from under the engine. Another craps employee told me a bolt had come loose... and charged me ten bucks to "replace it." Also the warnings were all back and they said they didn't have the ability to reset them. What was the point of even working on it if you are unable to do that? So I got a tip that Auto-Doctor had the necessary magic to talk to an Isuzu. They fixed it (well under 2k) diagnosed the real problem, discovered that the noise was NOT a belt that would settle down, but my compressor was going out, and topped off my DEP fluid (which was low- craps didn't even bother to fill it). My POC at Auto-Doctor was Larry and he is a great communicator although I accidently saved his number under the name Debbie so I affectionately call him Debbie in my head, though not to his face. If you've been in Cville for any time at all you'll know the place, right off Rio behind the three gas stations across from the Greenbrier neighborhood. I always wondered what the place was, like a level for a videogame I hadn't gotten access to yet. Turns out all I needed to do in order to go there was get screwed over by a greenhorn mechanic in a fancy garage. No shiny new cars fronting this place. It's a working shop in the middle of a junkyard, not a daycare garage with a dealership out front, so for the hard-work challenged you may feel anxious driving down the dirt road (called Gasoline Alley!!) that takes you passed the car corpses. Nobody is likely to greet you at the door because they are busy doing a great job for a reasonable fee so tuck your feelings in your pocket with the money you save. If you ask me it's what an auto-shop should be, surrounded by dead cars. I mean really- what can a mechanic learn from a new car lot? That's why med schools teach gross anatomy on corpses. And these guys are truly auto doctors.

Auto Doctor is best mechanic shop I ever went to. Superb experience from start to finish, trustworthy and reliable, friendly staff, quick turnaround and best prices around. If I could I would give them 10 stars. Will definitely be back

Auto Doctor and staff are very knowledgeable and professional with dealer level capability for European cars. My experience has always been positive for accurate diagnostics and pricing that is reasonable for the skill and knowledge required to fix these vehicles. I highly recommend them!

Behnan Gokas

We have been taking our company vehicles to Auto doctor for sometime. And we keep going back. The team gets the work done, and will take on just about any difficult situation, the owner is very creative and has a lot of resources to keep our fleet of sprinter vans going

Richard Crisler

Great service from the greeting to when they handed me the key to say I’m all set to go! I will definitely use them for service in the future! 5 *****

Leon Polk

I had an excellent experience at [Mechanic Shop Name]. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about providing top-notch service. They quickly diagnosed the issue with my car, explained everything clearly, and gave me a fair and transparent quote. The repairs were completed on time, and my car has been running perfectly ever since.

haldun turgay

If you’re like me and only know cars in terms of ‘drive’ and ‘park,’ but need reliable, honest advice and fair pricing—stop thinking, just go here. Hands down, this is one of the hardest-working and, let me say it again, honest businesses around. They don’t just know cars, they know people. They are the neighborhood shop that will help even when they’re not officially open. I repaired my car, my husbands cars, my coworkers go there, and when I was desperately trying to get my out of town friend’s car repaired while she was at UVA Hospital on the same day her father passed away, this shop stepped in on their closed day—no hesitation, no questions asked. And it’s not just me. Over the years, I’ve heard countless stories of them getting stranded people off the road, helping locals, and even strangers, without a second thought. I wish every industry had more people and places like this. This shop isn’t just about fixing cars—it’s about bringing back home, bringing back community.

always great service and reasonable price! part of me still wants to keep this place as a secret..

Anel Sefer

The service here is very good, they behave very well. New. Not like a customer. He looks after them like his family, Williy and the infidel Ruszbek and Eduardo and Serhat are our masters, they all work very well, clean and careful.

Serhat Turan

Auto Doctors is top on my list! Their service is the most cost efficient and top notch! They are very honest and if anything costs higher they tell you otherwise for the most part their prices are the cheapest. Aside from that I love their customer service. Everytime I take my vehicle their they follow up with me and keep me posted. Go Auto Doctors!

Nilab Nizaam

I took my dodge truck here, it had an electrical issue, did not start at all, I tried 2 different places, no one could say what exactly was the problem. Yasha found out there was a wiring problem and fixed it very quickly, I would recommend this place to everyone!

Farhad Gulam zakria

Mmmm

Willfredo Vasquez

I have tried many different places in Charlottesville in the past 10 years, but Auto Doctor is best. I took my Honda Odyssey for inspection and Yasha was able to find that my breaks and alternator were bad, he fixed it same day and my car was ready for pick up at 4pm. We always satisfied with the service, they will answer all your questions and fix all the issues in a timely manner. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Transmission Services

The work here was great! Larry was very helpful. I had only gone in for a VA State Inspection but he found a leak in the transmission due to gasket issues and had also noticed my rotors needed to be replaced, he was able to fix the issues in a timely manner. I feel they are good and honest working people.

Ricky Saeteurn

Took my car in for an oil change and VA safety inspection. My car needed a few repairs. They explained thoroughly to me what the car needed and was very fair with the price. Covered my seats with plastic and put protective coverings on my floorboard. Very pleased. Great service !!

David Hawkins

Friendly people and efficient.

Daniel Friend

Just saying I won't take any of my vehicles anywhere else no matter what time, day, hour they're always willing to get the job done and having a brand new vehicle supposed to be special. Dealership ain't worth it, but just saying resealable prices the best service and great work and hospitality no matter what ya dig it!

AC Repair

Absolute life saver!!!! Yasha answered the phone on the Saturday before 4th of July when he was supposed to be closed. We were driving into Charlottesville from Charlotte NC, and our AC completely died 2 hours out. He agreed to let us come in, took the car, no questions asked, and within 4 hours had us back in our car, good as new. Very courteous, very knowledgeable, and gave us detailed explanation for what had gone wrong. Thank you so much for giving up your weekend to keep our travel plans on track. HIGHLY recommend Yasha.

David Stelzl

Yasha was awesome. He showed up very quickly, within 30 minutes with a hour wait time given. He was extremely helpful and nice. J Legacy Trucking LLC would highly recommend.

Carla Fitzgerald

Excellent Service. Technical and mechanical expertise for my make and model (foreign car) is remarkable. Fair, fast, clean and affordable. The team will answer all your questions and even help you find the best parts for the right price - if you need this too! I did and it saved me a lot of money. With their technical expertise and great service they are working very hard to make sure they earn your trust - and they earned mine!

C S

These guys are amazing! I was driving through Virginia with my 2004 Ford E350, on my way to Colorado, when I couldn't put gas in my van (it would just flow out and down the side of the van). I had previously spent a small fortune to have a mechanic fix the problem in Denver, but he failed. Now it had gotten worse and I feared that I was going to be stranded. Not only did Auto Doctor fit me in on the same day I called, Kiefer quickly and correctly diagnosed the problem and fixed it in under an hour! Not only that, but he rode with me to the gas station to verify that I could fill up the car. I can't say enough about the professionalism of these guys. Also, as a single woman, I felt that they respected me and discussed the details of the issue as they would with anybody else. Lastly, it was impressive how the owner initially assessed the problem and then assigned the guy who had expertise in the area.

Melanie Brooks

They're a bit pricey but they do awesome work!

Samonne Porter

Best service I've ever had from any service shop anywhere. I recently had some major repairs that came up during an inspection just as I was about to go on a long road trip. Auto Doctor was able to get the major work done very quickly to allow me to drive safely and with confidence that I wouldn't have problems on my trip. In addition, their service rates are more reasonable than the dealership, so I saved money too. I highly recommend their service.

Brian Vanyo

ECELLENT!

Ken Cedar

They are great workers and very profesional. Thanks to Yasha and his team for great job.

Excellent service with quick repair time

Jaswant Kasinedi

From out of town, was in Charlottesville and truck would not start. Called them Saturday afternoon, had the truck towed there an hour later and Yasha looked at the truck right away. Problem was not apparent from the start, but Yasha continued to search for the issue - he was able to find a small fixable issue and I was able to drive away that afternoon. He no doubt saved me lots of time and thousands of dollars with his thorough assessment of my truck. If you are in Charlottesville and need car repair this is the place to go. Can't recommend enough.

Cooper MIller

My brother came in from out of town for the day & his truck wouldn?t start, AAA said it wasn?t the battery. This was the only place open on a Saturday afternoon that would look at it that day! Yasha was incredible & found what was wrong quickly & fixed it & made sure my brother was able to travel back to his home. Ask for Yasha, he is so knowledgeable & I will definitely be bringing my car to him anytime I need anything!

Carly Miller

Good, fast work & courteous service, practicing covid safety

Bic Kolcum

I have tried many different service centers in Charlottesville over the past 30 years and this is the best. I have had extensive work done here over the past five years with four different cars. This is not a fancy place but their work is consistently high quality, done on time, and at a fair price. You are not pressured into repairs you don't need and you can trust what they tell you. I just want to add that the owner Garry retired, but many of the mechanics remain and still provide high quality work. My experience with the new management has been great. This continues to be the place I where I take my cars.

Dewey Cornell

These guys are outstanding. Stayed very late to get my truck done and did outstanding work at a fair price. Highly recommend them.

Mark Jensen

Great people, wonderful service. A great repair shop.

Amanda Dyer

Great service, checked out a noise on my car the same day and solved the issues. Definitely coming back in the future for more work. Would highly recommend.

Ben Litric

Reliable mechanics at a reasonable price. Nice job installing trailer hitches too.

Dwane Jones

These guys have been working on my familiy's cars for as long as I can remember. They always make room for us in the schedule and never overcharge us. Sad to see some people have had poor experiences here!

Avantae Logan

I've been going to Garry's for years. Always fits me in & more than fair w/repair costs. As a woman it's nice to know I'm not being taken advantage of!

Pamela Johnson

I come from a family of mechanics. I will not use any other mechanic since I moved to Charlottesville. I trust these guys with my companies vehicles and my personal vehicles. They are the best priced and best quality mechanics around. Would make my dad proud if he was still with us.

Binki

When I lived in Charlottesville this was the only place I ever used. Never had an issue with any work they performed. Prices were always reasonable. This was from back in 2010. Took me forever to find someone as reliable and trustworthy as Garry.

Will R

Good inexpensive garage. Does inspections. Ask for Larry.

Betty Brubach

They take care of all our vehicles. When we have an emergency breakdown they always fit us into their schedule ASAP and prices are reasonable. Best shop in town!!!

Jennie Kurucz

Garry's has the most honest people around. I had a squeaking in my brakes and instead of trying to sell me new ones they told me that sometimes it's the brand that gets put on there. They took them completely apart and cleaned them when they could have told me I needed new and would not have been the wiser. All around great trustworthy guys.

Anita Toler

Honest. Good technical abilities. Standard labor rate.

Ashish Gupta

I discovered that I had a nail stuck in my tire on my way out of town. Due to convenience, I stopped at a different mechanic but they were extremely unprofessional (arguing with a customer), so I left and went straight to Gary's. I should've gone there in the first place! The guys there are so helpful, professional and really take care of their customers. I would recommend them to anyone in the Cville area.

Anna Dumaresq

Very good mechanics who seem very honest and caring about the customer. I had repairs on brakes and new tires for fairly reasonable price. Give them a try.

Chaz Dee

Always friendly and knowledgeable; can't beat the service and price in Charlottesville.

JohnC

Auto and Truck Doctor helped me when my car broke down in Charlottesville. They were transparent about pricing and had my car fixed quickly. High quality service.

These folks are GREAT! My coworker told me about them, and I am thrilled to now have a place to take my car in Cville where I can be confident of honesty and affordability!.

Abhaya Thiele

Nice friendly people.

Margaret Lamb

They were very honest and helpful. Told me work recommended by another shop was not needed and charged me hundreds of dollars less than another shop quoted for the same job. Very happy and highly recommended!

Mackenzie Horn

Very friendly & a good place to get your car worked on.

Franklin Lewis

Nice fella that runs the show. Thorough and informative.
