Is it when something is the cheapest? Or is it what you get for your money? When it comes to the automotive industry here are some thoughts to consider. For a shop to do things cheaper what are you giving up? Does the shop have experienced professionals that are properly trained or people just learning on your vehicle? Do they carry garage liability insurance in case something happens? Do they keep up with today’s technology, invest in tools and update equipment such as Recall/TSB service campaigns, Module reprogramming, Software updates, ADAS/Alignment Calibration, R1234yf refrigerant or Electric Vehicle/Hybrids? Do they use the best quality parts or just the cheapest they can buy? How long and how far do they stand behind their work? Do they offer above and beyond services like shuttle services, service reminders, digital courtesy checks and scheduled appointments? We have been a locally owned and operated Hampton Roads auto repair facility for over 25 years! We have built a great reputation and integrity on our high standards, attention to detail and quality of work. From oil changes, check engine lights, SRS or ABS lights to OEM factory scheduled maintenance, 17th Street Automotive has FOUR Master Technicians you can trust to give you the best service in the automotive industry. Our partnerships with Napa Auto Car Care, AutoZone Provantage, Advance Auto TechNet and Jasper Certified Installer means that many of the parts and services we perform are warrantied all over the country 3yr/36,000 miles. Our membership with the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) speaks to the quality, cleanliness, and customer service we provide every day. Come into the shop (dedicated mural for First Responders and Firefighters) and see the difference with our Complimentary Digital Vehicle Inspections, properly diagnosed vehicles, simplified/detailed estimates, exceptional customer service and we guarantee you'll be a customer for life!
