Earlysville Auto

The owner was my night in shining armor yesterday when my van died at the post office. I had called a tow truck, but their portable jumper cables didn’t have enough charge. Roger just happened to be there picking up his mail and he jumped right in offering his help. He got my van running so I could drive it to his shop, then got my battery replaced in less than 30 minutes. Quick service, fair pricing, and very personable!

I am a licensed aircraft mechanic, and have done almost all my own auto mechanic work for 45 years. Recently, my 2004 Trailblazer left my wife stranded in "limp home" mode near the airport, about a four mile drive to our house. It was running poorly, and I didn't want to risk any damage to the engine, so when we came limping into Earlysville I pulled it into Earlysville Auto. I had heard about this shop for years, and knew Roger and his team by reputation, but had never taken a vehicle there. As I mentioned, I do nearly all my own work. What it ended up being was a fairly complex electrical issue with the camshaft sensing circuit and solenoid. While diagnosing the problem, there were several other issues they were able to find (and resolve) that saved me quite a bit of money and frustratio

We have taken our cars to Earlysville Auto for almost 30 years and couldn''t possibly say enough good things about Roger, Vince, and the rest of the guys at Earlysville Auto. Roger knows his stuff, is totally honest, and has NEVER done anything other than a GREAT job. I bought my present car through Roger and it's now over 211,000 miles and going strong. Good work and integrity are what you get at this shop.

I brought my car here looking to get a muffler replaced, belt tightened, tire rotation and a battery hold down. After a day I got a call back and was told $800 for the repairs on the muffler and that they would do the other stuff for me so I OK’d it. Well after a week I get a call back that the repairs had been done and my total was $1,233.27 for everything. I asked for an explanation to which Rodger said that they ended up putting in a lot more shop hours than they had anticipated. That’s fine and I get that you can run into problems, but I would have expected a call at least to inform me about this. Rodger was extremely rude over the phone (as many of the reviews have said) and not cooperative at all, pretty much yelled over me the entire time.I asked if we could work something out since

First used the shop when we lived in Earlysville 20 years ago and were so impressed we've been taking our vehicles there ever since, even though we now live 40 miles away. 10 years ago I took my 1985 Ford Ranger in for service. On the way home after picking it up, the alternator belt broke, leaving me dead on 250. I called Roger and he drove down with a new belt and fixed it for no charge--"no one leaves my shop and then breaks down." Roger can be gruff and he does not suffer fools, but he is an expert at what he does, honest (which is often not the case with auto shops) and straightforward.
