Looking for a mechanic in Virginia Beach?

"I made an appointment for a state inspection, which was great because it's rare to find a shop that's open on Saturdays. The whole process was quick, easy, and very convenient. The staff was professional, precise, and had an exceptional work ethic. They made everything smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend them and will definitely be coming back!"

"Richard was an awesome mechanic. I came in as a Walk in for brakes and there was no long wait. All the staff was professional and greet you. They made me feel acknowledged as soon as I got there. Richard was polite and professional, and my car was fixed faster than I expected. He even inspected other areas and let me know other work that need to be done in the future. The owner was there and nice as well. They are the best priced mechanics in the area. I highly recommend them for their professional professionalism, affordability, and punctuality."

"Overall great service and honest advice on my vehicle. They were able to accommodate my vehicle the next day after a low oil pressure warning came on. They were able to confirm that the warning was erroneous, in addition to confirming my suspicion that the car was due for a transmission fluid change and a brake change. I’d definitely come back here again."

"Ahmed was super helpful and professional. I called this morning asking if they could fit me in for a walk-in VA state inspection, and he got me taken care of quickly with no hassle. The whole process was smooth, fast, and the customer service was great. Definitely appreciate him helping me out on short notice highly recommend!"

"First time using and was very pleased with the service we received. They fixed the air light sensor light, followed by a state inspection. The turn around was reasonable and the pricing was also comparable. The people who worked there were very nice and explained everything that needed to be done."

"I had a great experience with Beach Auto & Transmission Repair! I first went in for a state inspection, and Jason, the inspector, noticed that my windshield had a crack that would cause the inspection to fail. Instead of letting me go through (and pay for) a failed inspection, he honestly advised me to fix it first and come back. I really appreciated that — it saved me both time and money and showed how professional they are. After I got my windshield repaired, I returned for the inspection and everything went smoothly. Jason also took the time to point out that my rear tires needed replacement and clearly explained the potential safety risks, including the possibility of a blowout if I didn’t address it. I never felt pressured — just well-informed. I ended up ordering new tires through them, and they will call me once they arrive for installation. Overall, very honest, professional, and customer-focused service. Highly recommend!"

"I soooo recommend this shop, excellent service, lovingly atmosphere. I needed a tuneup last minute, and they were able to take me in quick, knowledgeable, sufficient and reasonable. 6 stars Thank you Guy for your service, you are now officially my mechanics… Yoshua"

"I had a great experience with this repair shop. I needed to replace all of my engine mounts and called early in the morning to see if they could fit me in. They were able to get my vehicle in the same day, and I had it back later that afternoon, which was incredibly convenient. The price was very reasonable and fair compared to other quotes I received, but what really stood out was the customer service. The staff was professional, friendly, and took the time to explain everything clearly. It’s hard to find a shop that is both honest and efficient, but this one delivered on both. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing reliable auto repairs."

"Beach Auto & Transmission Repair started off a little rocky, but they absolutely finished strong with quality repair work and great service. The team was quick, knowledgeable, and made sure everything was handled the right way. Big shout‑out to Brian for his personal touch and for taking the time to walk me through the warranty details—much appreciated. I look forward to working with them again in the future."

"My sister and I recently took our homeless brother's car to Beach Auto & Transmission Repair on Saturday, February 7th, for some major repairs. The driver side wiper wasn't working(even after our having replaced both blades); the passenger side mirror was gone; the driver side window wouldn't close all of the way; and the coolant system needed major work. Dave Fischer, General Manager was gracious enough to do the work on Saturday after learning about our situation. When the mirror had to be ordered, we had to leave the car over the weekend, and Mr. Fischer assured us the car would be ready Monday by noon so that we could leave Norfolk and get me to the Richmond airport by 2:30. On Monday, Brian Simmons, Lead Tech and Shop Foreman, went out of his way to get a mirror when the wrong one was delivered. He actually sent an employee to Suffolk(a 45 minute drive each way) to get a mirror in time to replace it. Then, when we were to pay the bill, we learned that he had greatly reduced the cost and had included the window which we had opted not to repair. Also, he graciously offered to divide the bill so that we could both pay an equal amount. I cannot give a rating high enough to reflect the lengths to which Dave and Brian went in order to assist our brother. I highly recommend this business!!!"

"I was in VA to pick up my kids, coming all the way from ND in just under 48 hours. We got up early Wednesday morning to hit the road to FL to visit family and my car wouldn’t turn over! The guys at Beach Auto & Transmission Repair were able to get my car in, diagnosed and replace the alternator and battery all before 4:00PM the same day! I’m very grateful to BAR for getting us fixed and back to our travels quickly!"

"Car was in, not even a full day for new rotors & breaks. Great on the military discounts as well. Car was cleaned & made sure everything was topped off. Can’t thank them enough for the fast & efficiency in their work."
