I highly highly highly recommend these guys. Customer service is beyond the top. Very genuine and in their integrity. Watch them not only with us but watching them with other customers and not doing services just because the customer thought that's what they needed. Really appreciated that kind of honesty and realism. We will go back to them moving forward for all of our services and we are not close by. We do not live in Charlottesville. So worth it. Thank you for all of you that recommended them. They are everything that I heard about them. There is a reason they are so highly rated. It is true!!

Peacock Auto operates with more integrity and generosity than any other mechanic I’ve worked with. I’ve been going to them for about a year and a half and have had nothing but positive experiences. More than once they have not charged me for work that I think other mechanics would have. I also appreciate how they break down the service work they are recommending in a way that is straight forward and easy to understand. They clearly put people first, certainly customers, and I would assume their employees as well. They make the Charlottesville community a better place.

I stumbled across Joe and Peacock about a decade ago because it was the closest place I could push the car to from where it broke down. I was so pleasantly surprised with what I found. Here is someone deeply knowledgeable about cars, deeply caring about customers and not in it for the quick win. Joe consistently works to provide amazing and thoughtful service, and referrals as appropriate. He's found great ways to keep my older Subaru running without costing a fortune and helps me baby my newer Mazda. I cannot recommend Joe enough. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled across Peacock. Finally, I'm 100% sure I've never used "erudite" in an auto mechanic review before, but Joe's also just a great person to talk to. It's a shame he's so busy with all those other 5-star reviews. :)

Peacock has a kind heart and soul that elevates it from being a place to get your car fixed, to being a place to connect with people in our community who care. It's also no joke- Joe will give you a straight answer about what needs to be repaired, how to do it correctly, and his opinion on what you should do next. That might be "fix it," or it might be "get a more reliable vehicle." I have experienced both situations and both proved to be correct. It's been a privilege to have Joe, Mandy, and the crew work on 4 of our cars over the years (VW, Toyota, Subaru, and Honda). I have never been disappointed. The price is fair, the work is generous, and the business is a gem.

I highly recommend Peacock Auto Service! I needed an urgent oil change and headlights replaced on my car, and Joe fit me into his busy schedule, despite me showing up two hours later than I said I would. Plus, offered me a snack while I waited! Thanks very much to both Joe and Mandy for all their work and kindness.

I'm new in the area and have gone to Peacock Auto for repairs twice. Both times they were kind, prompt, skillful, friendly, efficient, fair, responsive, communicative...basically everything you could want. One of these times, they did an urgent repair that made a really meaningful difference in my personal life. They are now my go to place and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Peacock Auto!

I have taken several cars there over the years and I always get great service at a fair price and honest answers. They won’t talk you into work that doesn’t need to be done or waste time and your money fixing things that don’t need to be fixed. It’s a good, honest repair shop.

Quick & friendly service! But honestly, the cost difference between a dealership’s sky high price quote and Peacock’s estimate brought me to this shop. >$900 vs $619! The dealership should be ashamed of themselves… trying to rip off an old lady!

I was looking for a local company with an excellent reputation that I could trust to offer what my vehicle needed without upselling. Peacock more than exceeded my expectations with quick service, straightforward explanations including what wasn’t necessary and/or could wait. I have no problem paying a fair price for excellent work, Peacock offers both. I will recommend them to anyone who needs vehicle work.

I can't recommend Peacock Auto enough! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by their honesty and professionalism. The team took the time to explain the issues with my car in detail, making sure I understood everything before proceeding with any work. It's rare to find an auto body shop that is as transparent and trustworthy as Peacock Auto. The service was top-notch, and their prices were incredibly reasonable compared to other places I've been. If you're looking for quality work, fair pricing, and a team you can trust, look no further than Peacock Auto!

I’m not one to leave reviews often, but I can’t recommend this place enough! Getting your car serviced or repaired as a young, single woman is always a daunting experience. You never know who will try to up-charge or scam you because they assume you don’t know anything about cars. The mechanics here are honest and didn’t try to up-charge me on anything, unlike some of the local dealerships. They let me know that part of my routine servicing wasn’t needed because my air filters were fine instead of charging me, and they fixed my dragging splash guard for free! Again, I cannot recommend Peacock enough. It’s so refreshing to go to an honest auto shop with great prices. Hanging out with Steve the dog while you wait is an added bonus, too!

Peacock is like going home to have your handy and super rad relative fix your car. Mandy and Joe immediately make you feel like family by offering a kind experience with killer prices. I have been using their services since 2015 in the original shop and was so happy to see them grow into their current spot. I’ve since moved and was in town visiting recently- needed a mechanic - and true to form they welcomed me same day for auto repair. And icing on the cake … they have the sweetest pups hanging around the shop :) thank you Peacock Auto for being a staple in the C’ville community.

I have been getting my car serviced here for over a year- they are always so kind, very communicative, and knowledgeable! When I purchased my new car they went above and beyond to check a part that they thought was missing from my vehicle, highly recommend them!!

Hi, it's Hakimi. I highly recommend Peacock Auto, especially for college students, as it's a safe and trustworthy place. They never scam or overcharge, and their prices are unbeatable. Mandy and Joe provide exceptional service, making you feel like family. Their mechanics are professional and honest. Scheduling repairs is a breeze, and they've always accommodated my needs. I've been a loyal customer since 2018 and have been impressed by their consistent quality and growth. Even after moving, I knew I could rely on them for same-day repairs. Thanks to Peacock Auto for their outstanding honesty, transparency, and professionalism!

Just needed to pop in for routine maintenance (oil change + tire rotation) and Peacock was able to get me in and out quickly! They also had an open conversation with me about whether I truly needed to rotate my tires at this point which I really appreciated. Totally reasonable pricing as well! Bonus points for being provided with the best type of company while I waited for my car 🐾

Very happy with this local shop recommended by UVA parents. My daughter for the first time had to deal with a mechanic on her own. The owner Joe inspected my daughter's car with heat not working. After an inspection it was determined the water pump was going out and thankfully did not drop all the fluid on the road. Joe gave an estimate on repairs and timetable. The car was ready on time and within budget. The heat now works. The repair cost was well below that of a dealer. I talked to Joe to wrap up everything and I found him to be ethical and trusted. A rarity these days for mechanics. He let the car stay an extra day at his shop with a winter storm. Totally recommend Peacock Auto Service. 5 Stars!
