Andy's Auto Services 950 Rives Street, Charlottesville, VA 22902

"Excellent customer service and fair pricing. It was a small job on my exhaust system, but i recommend him. Very personable."

"The only negative I can think of is there doesn't seem to be any customer space, like an indoor air conditioned waiting area. If there was I didn't see it. I was also a little worried about leaving our vehicle there overnight, but that was just because the feel of the location for us seemed like it might be sketchy. That could have been completely unfounded and there was no incident or problem. There might be better security here than it looks. First time we were here, so we didn't know. Outside of that, this is an old-school local auto shop. Andy apparently does a lot of different work but we were here for an exhaust repair. He does patch-in's other shops wont or cant do and can actually bend and create exhaust pipe runs...and weld. This shop was recommended to us by our regular auto place who couldn't patch-in the exhaust section that was damaged and could only replace an entire section that bolts or clamps on. They didn't even want to price it at first, just telling me to take it to Andy's. Well, I did ask them to price it and they were right, having Andy piece-in what was needed saved A LOT of money. Very nice guy, as well as his Dad (I think) who seems to help out with the phone, etc.. Although Andy's is about 22mins vs. the 11mins away our regular shop is, I may consider using him for more than exhaust repair. I feel pretty confident he can do a variety of stuff and may be less expensive than our regular shop. But then again he doesn't have their overhead, customer space, paved parking etc., so it makes sense."

"Excellent service. Friendly mechanic ( Andy) Went in for an oil change with one car ahead of me. Took care of the oil change in no time. Thank you, Andy"

"Quality service at a great price. Had a hole in the intermediate exhaust pipe of my pickup. A replacement part would've been $60, plus shipping, plus labor. They fabricated and installed a replacement in about an hour for $80, and pressure tested my exhaust system to make sure there were no other leaks."

"Was in town over for a long weekend and had my exhaust pipe broke right before the cat. Called some of the big names and they said it would be hours before they'd be able to look at it. Andy was able to fit me in, weld the pipe back in place and get us back on the road quickly. Pricing was very fair for such quick and great service!"
