Had to schedule an appointment to get work done but that is a positive. I dropped off my Jeep in the morning at 8am. I was called at 1:30pm that it was done… AMAZING!!! What other place does that?? Also I’m convinced nobody beats Travis pricing. So very fair. I’ve had my Jeep serviced there 3 times. I will never go anywhere else. Heed my advice…Give Travis a call when you need auto repair. You will be pleased.

Everyone there was very friendly and knowledgeable. They were recommend by AutoZone and we were thankful for the reference. Although they could not exactly fix what my issue was they were still very helpful and did what they could at the moment 😉

We've been taking our Pontiac to Travis's for a couple years now based on a recommendation from a co-worker. Recently, we started taking our Mazda here to save money on dealership prices. I've always asked them to do a check on everything beyond the requested work to ensure that the Mazda is well-maintained. The last oil change/tire rotation they performed, I also asked them to perform a 150k mile check-up/maintenance and to verify the fluids didn't need a flush (because the car is 9 years old and a flush on any fluid had yet to be performed, which caused me some concern). They did the oil change (and I'm assuming tire rotation), changed the cabin air filter, and said everything else looked fine. That raised some red flags for me. Recently, I took it in to have them assess the shocks/suspension, O2 sensors, and the spark plugs because it had issues gripping the road in the rain, the check engine light was on for the sensors, and it struggled to get up to speed on the highway. They replaced the sensors, spark plugs, and the front strut assemblies. Seemed fine to me, except now the car started making a strange noise while driving, which was more apparent when braking. I took it back to Travis to have him assess and was told it was brake dust getting behind the pads - he blew it out but warned me it would likely happen again unless the brakes were replaced. I very specifically asked him if the pads needed to be replaced, or if this could cause damage to the rotors. I was assured the they were fine and it was not a problem. I drove home, but the noise started up again about 1 mile from home. After listening to this for a week, I took it to another shop closer to my house that was very highly rated by Google. I asked them to do the same thing I always asked Travis's - look at everything, tell me if there is anything else besides what I'm bringing it for. They said: * front and back brake pads/drums and rotors needed replacing * CV axels needed replacing (the tie rod end on one needed replacing as well during the work) * the fog lamp bulbs were burnt out (Travis's recently inspected this vehicle and passed it - I was not notified this was an issue at all during all the work they've done for us) * the brake fluid was low and needed a flush * the power steering fluid had a leak (there was NO fluid left - this was fortunately an easy fix of reconnecting the hose and refilling the tank, which the new shop did at no charge despite my authorization of the diagnostic fee) * the left rear tire was "bald" - the wires were showing * the alignment was bad * ALL of this was documented by the new shop with pictures as evidence After the discovery of issues with the Mazda from the new shop, my husband and I took our Pontiac into the new shop for an assessment since I didn't trust the work Travis's had done at this point. This is DESPITE the fact that Travis's passed this car for VA state inspection on 10/01/2023 (10 days ago). I asked the new shop to do the same thing - perform an alignment, which it needed, assess the check engine light - and do a thorough inspection to look for any maintenance issues. This is what was found: * the alignment needed to be done (which I knew, but Travis's never notified us of during the inspection) * the EVAP system had major issues throwing 4 codes and causing major vacuum issues * The O2 sensors were throwing codes and were on their way out * The fuel system needed to be flushed * The power steering fluid was "very dark" and needed a flush * the timing belt was wearing and due for replacement soon (not catastrophic) * The lower left ball joint was loose - NOTE: The mechanic at the new shop stated "I see this just passed inspection. This ball joint is incredibly loose. It should NOT have passed inspection." Pure NEGLIGENCE. * Additional concern from the new mechanic was that the "clutch is howling" and it is only a matter of time until it will give out. To be fair - this was an obvious issue that was noticed some time ago by my husband and I. I do not recommend this "repair" shop.

Reasonable labor rates and stand behind their work. There was small issue with install of replacement part that showed a few weeks after work was completed and it was repaired under warranty. Good to find a business with integrity willing to stand behind their work and not just out to make a quick buck. Will recommend to friends.

Travis and the team have THE BEST customer service and reasonable prices. My only complaint is that they are so good, sometimes it can be hard to get a same week appt, but it’s worth the wait!! They get all of my service and have for 5 years now. Of their many positives, the fact that they treat your repair honestly, getting to the cause, proposing the fix, and if it’s not something they do, or theirs a better option they are up front about it even if it means less work for them. Great team from the front staff to the mechanics working on your car!

AMAZING SERVICE!!!! THE BEST SHOP. I have to say from a previous family-owned shop of 42 years in Hampton, I have finally found a shop just like my grandfather’s shop. They are completely honest about the services they provide and do EXCELLENT auto repair. Every time I have called and asked questions the ladies up front are always nice and take the time to speak with me and explain everything including all cost and fees. The repair technicians always explain everything about the repair and let you know what to expect before the repair is done. I am so grateful for their service and honesty. They will always have my business.

Phenomenal! A true mechanic shop. Not the dealership 20 year old kid who can't figure out what's wrong unless a diagnostic machine tells them. Great staff. Always polite and treat you with respect. When they perform a fix, it resolves the issue you brought it in for. Honest folks who don't try to upsell you on additional services.

Travis Auto Repair is definitely now my go to shop for repairs. It's really nice to find a shop that has experienced technicians. Kris is amazing. He took the time to call and let me know exactly what was going on with my car and gave me many options. In the end, I told him I trusted his opinion and let's get this done. Thanks Travis Auto Repair Thanks Kris!

this was my first time used Travis Auto Repair. I am very pleased with everyone there, Wanda, Travis, Chris C and all the front office staff. They were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They fixed my car with a fair price. They also went out an extra mile to test my car battery. Thank you, Travis Auto Repair

I was disappointed with my recent experience. Despite living just across the street in the community and hearing great things from my neighbors, my interaction was far from welcoming. Rather than being offered an appointment or options. I was quickly referred down the street. I was more than willing to wait, as the vehicle in question wasn't my primary mode of transportation. First impressions matter, and the front desk sets the tone for the entire customer experience. Based on how I was treated, I can only hope to find a more welcoming and customer-focused auto shop one that offers fair pricing and truly values the community it serves. Perhaps, in the end, I avoided poor service altogether. I post to try and help women like me who need honest reviews to help weed out the rude and poor customer service people before you start service and waste, your time.

I just wanna say thank you again!! I ran in this morning, something was wrong with my mom's car. It wasn't starting right. I know this is the worst time ,having no appointment, a week before Thanksgiving, and as busy as they were, they still managed to squeeze me in because someone cancelled their appointment. I'm really blessed. And thanking the Lord that they were able to take me.. They had it done quickly and now I can still get back and forth to work. Definitely miracle workers! Thank you again Carrie DiLeo

Five-Star Review for Travis Auto Repair My family has been taking our vehicles to Travis Auto Repair for generations, and there’s a reason we’ve never gone anywhere else. Travis has always been honest, fair, and incredibly skilled. His pricing and diagnostics are straightforward and trustworthy, and the quality of his work consistently goes well above the mark of excellence. Mrs. Wanda is the heart of the front office. She makes scheduling and drop‑offs feel effortless—almost delightful. Every visit feels personal, warm, and welcoming, like you’re stopping in to see family rather than going to a repair shop. They’re a true family‑run business with that good ole boy pricing and genuine care that’s hard to find these days. I love this shop, my family loves this shop, and we’re grateful for everything Travis and Mrs. Wanda have done to keep our vehicles running smoothly over the years. Thank you both for always taking care of our family’s automotive needs. You’ve earned our loyalty for life.
