Great experience. It's a smaller size but you don't have to be large to be good. it seems to be very well run and very friendly. If you're in need of a General Automotive mechanic, alignment, or even a simple State inspection, recommend you give him a shot.

Went in for an overdue state inspection, and got nothing but warmth, suggestions and help! I felt welcomed and valued...and my car is now legally inspected for another year! Highly recommended!

My daughter's tire blew out and this business charged me $150 hourly rate to change the right axle and lower control on her car which was made in 2007. Claimed it took over 8 hours. The total charges was close to the value of the car. The previous owners were my go to for state inspection and any other car needs for my daughter's car but the new ownership seems to inflate cost, time and I'm so saddened by this experience. I've never paid such a high hourly rate, not even at a premium car dealership. It's so shocking I had to leave a review. I even heard them quote a higher hourly rate to another person of color while I was in the waiting room.

In short summary: It's not worth the loss of an entire day for a state inspection they might try to scam you on... In long summary: As a woman, I'm constantly looking for car places where they don't scam or rip you off for services...this isn't one of those "safe" places. I headed to this location because it had a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and though there were a handful of negative reviews, I mistakenly thought that the good would outweigh the sporadic bad experiences, but as it turns out it was the negative reviews that were actually right this time. I went to Blake's auto for a state inspection, a simple taste I've had done on the same car over and over. It took THREE hours and there was only one car ahead of me when I arrived. Three hours for the mechanic to reject my car for allegedly a crack in the rear light casing and the front light bulb being "out of alignment"... something I've never heard of fail and inspection in the 17 years I've owned the car. When I took the car to another mechanic, he stated there was nothing wrong with my headlights and that the "crack" he was referring to at the rear shouldn't have caused a failing inspection... Nonetheless, doing my due diligence, I had the lights and the crack fixed. When I took it back to avoid paying for another place to do an inspection I had already paid for, again, it took HOURS for a reinspection and surprise, surprise, the claim that the front headlights were still not in alignment and it would cost $30 to fix...Maybe this is the place to go if you want to spend all day waiting or maybe if you have a connection or you're family...but if you're an average lady, just looking to take care of business with an efficient and honest place, keep looking please. As it turns out, sometimes the negative people are right.

Trish was friendly and sweet, the service man was the very best. I'm going to bring my Wife's suv to them as well. They have earned my business.

I've been taking all my autos and bikes to Blake's for my inspections. They are professional and honest. I don't mind letting them fix any issues because frankly, their honesty deserves my trust and patronage. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

A bit of the way, but extremely awesome service. 110% recommended. The current owners are selling the place, so this review is for them, awesome, honest and hard working folks.

I was extremely satisfied with the service I received today at Blake’s Auto Service. I was up against a wall with the expiration of my inspection today. You know how busy inspection stations get on the last day of the month. John was so kind to get me on the schedule, and the office team was very professional and friendly. Thank-you for going the extra mile for me today. I will definitely be back and will highly recommend your business. Best regards, Kevin Hickok

Since moving to this area, I have exclusively used Blake's Auto for state inspections and any issues I've had. Today, I got an oil change and it was exactly like any other time. They took care of me, no issues and the price was as quoted. I feel like they are crazy honest and super good to their customers. Highly recommend coming here even if you aren't in this immediate area.

Went to Blake’s for a last minute state inspection. Called ahead and they were able to get me in quick. The service was fast and only took about 30 minutes. Appreciated how they didn’t try to sell me on any services or any unnecessary upgrades. The co-owner and other service technician were very down to earth and polite which made for great conversation. Would highly recommend!!

I am so glad I went to this place! I was shocked at how great their customer service is! Drew came to my house which is about 10 minutes away from his shop, because I wasn't sure if I could drive my car after it started smoking while I was driving my kids to school. He didn't want me to drive with my kids and came to inspect my car. They knew right away that I had a torn radiator hose. They got me in right away and I am so grateful! It is hard to come by great places like this. Honest to goodness people with great prices. I am never going anywhere else. Thank you Drew and everyone at your shop! My car is running great.

The service that we received at Blakes was excellent! They completed our state inspection and did some diagnostics for the check engine light that came on. John was so friendly and kind to my daughter and I while we waited. We highly recommend them for all of your auto care needs!

I called in at 3:30 in the afternoon and they got me in same day before closing at 5! My inspection took less than 45 minutes and customer service was ON POINT! I’ve been using Blake’s for two years now for my vehicle inspections and I will continue to go back and recommend them to everyone. Truly an awesome shop. last year I had equally as awesome service.

After taking my car in for inspection I was informed it needed some things needed done on the car to pass inspection. I had the minor things done and when I called last minute to have the more time consuming repairs they fit me into their already busy schedule and made sure I had it ready to go as soon as possible. I am very pleased with my car. It is driving much smoother. I will be a long time customer. This was my first time at Blake's and I am more than satisfied. I felt very confident in the service provided. John made sure everything was explained to me in a way that I understood exactly what they were doing to my car. All the staff were professional and personable. I will recommend Blake's to everyone I know. Thanks again to everyone!

If you're looking for unprofessional staff and bad customer service this all in one. They’re good to charge you but not to fix the car problems. Definitely NOT recommended!

Outstanding customer service! Hands down the most pleasant experience I've had at an auto shop in the Hampton Roads/ Tide Water area. I went for a State Inspection. It was a busy day, I was immediately informed on the wait time and the shop offered to give me a ride home instead of calling for a ride. I wish every business showed this hospitality and appreciation for their customers. Blake's Auto has earned my business, from now on the only shop I'll go to.

I've taken my vehicles several times to Blake's. The recent work I had done was actually less than the original estimate and they happily gave my deposit back AND explained what future work I need done without being pushy. I know a lot of places that wouldn't. A great family owned business.

I love Blake’s. Very quick and painless. I dropped my car off on Saturday for Monday state inspection. John called me before noon and let me know if things to fix prior to getting the inspection and the total cost. Once everything was complete, he called me back. I wasn’t able to pick it up before closing so I went and paid and he had me park the car somewhere outside the gate so I could pick it up later. Everything is very convenient!
