I had a dent in the passenger door of my car that was preventing the door from having a good seal when closed. I took it to Zak and he was able to fix it without a problem and even went above and beyond ordering a new latch for the door to ensure the repair met his extremely high quality standards. Thank you, Zak!

My daughter broke down in Charlottesville which was hours away from home. Zek had to replace her head gasket and did amazing work. Very honest and affordable

Very professional and kind. Price was very reasonable compared to large shops. I highly recommend this place for all your repair needs. Same day fixed/replaced my rotors, brakes, and calipers. Other shops were charging much more, please come here and get the work done.

My truck broke down as I was passing by Charlottesville. I dropped it off with Zak and his crew late Friday and they had it ready to go the next day. Great service and great people!

Zack is fantastic! My daughter and son in-law felt some wheel wobbling on the drivers side on their way to Charlottesville from highland county. It was a wheel baring that went bad as well as the axle. He did all the work they needed on a Sunday. He is warm and professional and I’m so grateful for his service! We will be going back to him!

Went this morning with my Nissan Rogue saying “malfunction” and a lot of icons appearing. Zak not only drove me home, he also fixed my car in a couple hours and picked me up again at home with my car to make sure everything was working well. He is kind, generous and hard working! Amazing person, thank you!!

The sweetest, most jovial, and efficient mechanic I have ever found. He and his son had my car fully serviced and back on the road in less than an hour. He is a gem and everyone in Charlottesville should visit him. (English is not his first language so making the appointment just took extra clarification. Don't let that stop anyone from going to him!)

One of the best mechanics in Charlottesville! I needed my brake pads changed around 6 PM, and even though he was closing, he reopened the shop and took care of it right away. He’s skilled, honest, and genuinely helpful. I really appreciate his kindness and professionalism — thank you for going above and beyond

Zak was friendly, prompt, honest, fun, and very reasonable with pricing ($325 for adjusting all bumpers and fenders after they basically prolapsed out of the bottom of the car and were scraping on the ground.) We came in at 8am opening with no appointment, he fixed the car with no fuss or muss, and the car was ready by 1pm. Yay!

Absolutely amazing mechanic! Honest, reasonably priced and so friendly. He goes above and beyond and gets the job done faster and better than anyone i've ever gone to. I will never use another mechanic ever again. Zak is the best!!! He is keeping my 87 Toyota Truck running like a dream!!! He also works on our Kia minivan. If you need mechanic work done, this is the man.

I highly recommend utilizing Zak's services! He worked magic on my car after it randomly broke down. He provided quick, efficient, fair priced services with a smile! It's like I'm driving a new car. By far the best mechanic I have been to in Central Virginia.

I highly recommend Zak’s service. My car was stuck in the snow and wouldn’t start, but he stepped in and went above and beyond to help me get fuel and get the car moving again, and everything turned out perfectly thanks to his generosity and professionalism. He also handled my oil change and provided excellent service at a great price. I strongly encourage anyone who needs assistance to use his service — it’s truly outstanding.

My BMW began having a number of issues shortly after moving to town, and I was fortunate enough to find Zac right away. He is always able to make time for me and saves me a tremendous amount on the cost of parts by helping me buy them directly. He's honest, quick, and knowledgeable. Happy to recommend him to anyone in the Charlottesville area :)

Zach is the guy. My uncle and I were on a multi-state fall-2025 motorcycle road trip. Uncle’s Yamaha just died in Charlottesville, VA. He came on his 1988 Toyota pickup and brought the bike back to life on the side of the road. And then he brought us back to his shop to change the starter relay and make other necessary repairs to ensure onward journey. He was beyond helpful. You just need to be patient with him as does google translate. He also works on cars, trucks, small engines. Super super recommend.
