This 3-man automotive shop on S. Virginia is a small wonder of technical savvy, skill, and performance. In under an hour they diagnosed 8 mechanical issues with a 2006 Ford Escape I had recently purchased, and put together an extremely thorough cost quote on the replacement parts and repairs. I am seriously considering moving my 2 vintage Toyotas to their care and maintenance. Hope you'll check them out!!

My daughter's minivan dumped radiator fluid all over the ground and had it towed to Monkey Wrench. We dropped it off Friday afternoon so there wasn't any time to get work done on it before the weekend. We got a call early Monday morning that the van was ready to be picked up. They had someone come in over the weekend to get the work started and nearly completed by Sunday, then finished up on Monday. They typically don't work weekends so it was a nice surprise. They replaced the radiator, fixed an oil leak, and replaced a leaky/bad thermostat and had it ready before College finals started that day. Amazing turnaround time!

So I have an issue going on with my car that I tried to resolve myself which I couldn't do I called this mechanic shop to see if they could help me and his statement was I don't even want to get involved in that mess and also I don't want to do the work those were his words to me trying to get help I asked him for a recommendation on how to resolve the issue and he could not give me one nor did he voluntarily recommend someone to me I had to ask him who he would recommend so he was not really forthcoming with information or a solution to my problem other than he did not want to do the work that is not professional at all you should always want to do work especially when someone's asking for help

I’m highly impressed with this shop. A used car I purchased broke down less then a week later. I bought extra repair coverage. Monkey Wrench is a direct provider. When I got the car to their shop it appeared to be ok, engine light went off. Instead of sending me away like most shops would, Dave agreed to take a deeper look. After restarting it later they could see what I was talking about. They were able to identify exactly what was wrong and coordinated with the coverage company on my behalf. They updated me often and were completely done with a whole engine replacement over the weekend and I got the car earlier than anticipated. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and very communicative.

Truly honest work. This is a facility where the owner does most of the work and there’s a reason he has a stellar reputation. As a car/truck enthusiast, I’ve been to MANY mechanics and guys like Jerry are extremely hard to find.

I’m here from California. I had a dangerous situation with my tires and needed my vehicle fixed asap as I am caring for a family member in the hospital. Dave & Jerry were very understanding of my situation and went out of the way to accommodate me. Thank you again!

Dave and Jerry, have been my, “Go To,” mechanics, for a little over, two years, ever since, becoming a Jeep, owner! My Jeep, has provided them, with many challenges! They, have replaced, two engines, rear differential, oil pump sensor, water pump, thermostat, ride side headlight bulb and pigtail, and the rear tail light bulb. They, have also, performed services, on my, vehicle, as well, such as, oil changes and a brake flush. These guys, are fantastic, professional, reliable, and kept me, well informed, throughout the entirety of this, experience. I highly recommend, Monkey Wrench Auto!!

Great mechanic! Very thorough and explained my cars issues to me very clearly. Explained that it was better to get rid of the car versus fix it. Very fair with their pricing and trustworthy. Would absolutely go there again!

Every day on my way home from work, I pass by these guys, so I decided to stop in and discuss my 1994 Chevy Blazer. I made an appointment and dropped it off yesterday at 8 a.m. when they opened. I spoke with Dave and shared a list of concerns, including steering issues, malfunctioning turn signals, no brake lights, HVAC problems, brake line issues, and more. A couple of hours later, I received a call from them. Not only had they diagnosed all the problems, but they had already fixed a few of them. In the eight hours they had my Blazer, they addressed every concern I mentioned and even discovered some I hadn’t noticed. Driving my Blazer home felt like driving a completely different vehicle. The work done by Monkey Wrench made my Blazer safer and a lot more enjoyable to drive. I can’t recommend these guys enough! This is my shop now. Great work!

Went in because the throttle got stuck while I was driving down the highway. Turns out it was a simple fix and the price was awesome. They also discovered an engine issue while I was there and that it was under warranty. This is why they are my favorite auto shop.

New shoes for the ride! Monkey Wrench is an amazing establishment. The workmanship is above reproach and the technicians are all extremely knowledgeable. These guys are some of the most honest guys I’ve met. 100% recommend them to work on anyone’s vehicle over an overpriced dealership. They are extremely reasonable and reliable. Definitely my go to mechanics.

There is a reason why Monkey Wrench has such great ratings! Dave who I’m assuming is the owner, answered all my dumb questions with patients and went out of his way to help me with a warranty issue without being paid for it. He could have easily told me to call the warranty company but he did it himself. Very knowledgeable and a great experience! Thanks Dave!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended! I had an excellent experience with Monkey Wrench. They fixed my Jeep with just one diagnosis, clearly explained the issue and the solution, and made sure I understood everything before moving forward. The team was extremely professional, honest, and efficient from start to finish. My Jeep is now running great with no dashboard warning lights or problems, and you can really tell they know what they’re doing. Great communication, no unnecessary charges, and quality work done right the first time. I truly appreciate their transparency and professionalism. I will definitely be coming back and recommending them to others!
