Atlee Auto Service in
Mechanicsville (VA)

I don’t usually review places however I feel as though I must warn people about this place. On Monday I brought my car in due to a grinding noise when I brake. I had just done a long road trip and wanted to ensure the brakes were okay. Atlee called back to tell me all of my brake pads and all of my rotors need to be replaced and quoted me $1600. Since I wasn’t born yesterday I knew this quote was high. I took the car to Express Oil down the road for a second opinion and not only did they quote me $700 less for the same work and labor. But told me upon inspection of my car that my brakes would pass a state inspection and neither pads or rotors even needed to be replaced. Please think twice before trusting this garage. I ended up saving $1600 getting a second opinion. I wish i could rate lower than 1 star.

They were pleasant and quick to serve. Also, let me know that I would need to tires soon and looked up costs.

Paid $250 for an incorrect and expensive ($1600) repair quote. Mechanicsville Honda diagnosed and repaired vehicle for $300. I personally would not go there again.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Honesty, integrity, and customer service is truly Mission #1 here. The last two times I've been there for service, they could have very easily added additional parts and service to the order and I'd still have been happy, but they don't do that. Prices are very reasonable, but the customer experience is second to none. Trust these guys with your car or truck!

Suspected I had a failing alternator and decided to take it to a AAA car center since Atlee was booked up. Long story short.. replacing belt, tensioner, and redeeming warranty on weakened battery. Still the issue was not resolved ( power streering, battery light). So I dropped it off ahead of my appointment at Atlee. I didn’t trust driving it. Well , Atlee Auto squeezed me in early and confirmed it was the alternator. They replaced it and issue was resolved. My Suv is aging and I’ve take to them several times for different issues, and they’ve always taken care of the problem.

Got my AC back to blowing ice . Highly recommend . Shoutout to Brandon and the rest of the crew , they really took care of my car .

This place is the real deal. My daughter was traveling out of state when she started having car issues. As a mom, I felt helpless being over 300 miles away and not familiar with the area. So of course I turned to the internet to find a local garage that could possibly help her. I spoke to Brandon, he was so helpful and courteous, and went well above and beyond great customer service. He diagnosed and repaired the car that same day, knowing how important it was to us that she get home asap. I highly recommend this place. They are respectful, knowledgeable, and efficient. Those are qualities that are hard to find these days. THANKYOU so much for your help.

My daughter’s Kona had a mechanical issue while coming home from Virginia Beach. My wife spoke with Brandon who went above and beyond to help her and get her back on the road. I could not recommend this shop high enough. Thank you to Brandon and the mechanics for taking such good care of my daughter.

If I could rate more than 5 stars I would! Traveling with some girl friends and my car’s oil light came on and was leaking oil from the bottom during our stop at Cracker Barrel. The owner (Brandon I believe) got the car looked at, fixed up, and ready the following morning for us to get back on the road back to PA. We are forever grateful for the amazing service, if you are in the area I would recommend them tenfold!! Thank you Atlee auto!!

These guys are phenomenal. They helped to diagnose my issue that had been misdiagnosed elsewhere saving me thousands of dollars and loads of headache. I've been with them for years and plan to continue. Be smart, there's plenty of unknowledgable folks out there but not these guys. They took my research in combination with their knowledge and got my car dialed in. I'm soooooo pleased.

If you are looking for honest and competent auto mechanics, this is your place. I had work done at AA on my truck's axle 19 months ago, though I only drove it 7,500 miles during that time. Anyway, the grease started to drip again and I took it back to AA. Brandon took care of my problem in a way that exceeded all expectations. It looked like a faulty part was the culprit and they had me on the road in no time. These are the kinds of small local businesses that are important to support because they go the extra mile for their customers. While the shop is quite far from me I will continue to bring my truck there.

Very friendly and helpful crew. They rebuilt my daughter’s Subaru engine after it had an engine fire— and they did a great job. I trust them to make the right call when my cars have a problem. Highly recommend this business. They are honest and fair.

I have taken my car here for years. They are great people! The front desk people are always straightforward and nice. There is a reason they are always busy-- they are good at what they do, and they have fair prices. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my car!

Our repair process for brakes & belt for our 2010 Ford went very smoothly. They assessed the vehicle in under 3 hours, called, gave us an honest assessment of what did & did not need to be done, a digital copy, and it was cheaper than another quote we received. Great visit

We love Atlee Auto Service. We always get great service here. The staff are super friendly, helpful and accommodating. When I had a question about a service they did, they had me bring my vehicle back in and found a problem that they fixed right away. No hassle or excuses, just fixed things and were very professional. We highly recommend them!

I've been using Atlee Auto for 22 years now and am always pleased with the entire business model. They are well organized, courteous, efficient, skilled, and most importantly, affordable! I've never had a problem they couldn't fix, especially in a timely manner. I highly recommend this business.

I’m semi new to the Ashland area because of my print shop and had to find a car shop that was convenient from lakeside and Ashland. My friend referred me to Atlee Auto Shop and I found gold with them! I’ve worked a lot with Brandon who is so kind and informative, along with everyone else I’ve spoken with there. They are good people that will tell you how it is and give you great references if it’s something that’s not in their wheelhouse at the moment. I’ve gotten new tires, inspections, oil changes and break pads replacements there. If I have anything major or any inspections needed, they are my absolute go to! You’re in great hands at Atlee Auto Shop! The best!

Honest, Fair, Fast, Complete I dropped off my 2007 minivan for repair. The next day they called me with an estimate for the repair I requested. In their assessment they found a couple other minor problems and offered a no pressure quote to fix those things as well. I agreed to have all the repairs made and the van was ready for pickup the next day. I appreciate the clear communication in plain words that I could understand. The quick turnaround to get the van back was very helpful. It's been a long time since this van has ran so good.

Had my F150 to 3 other shops before being referred to Atlee. Did not even know they were even in town. They diagnosed my truck in a way the other 3 places could not figure out and fixed it all due to a bad radiator. Other shops replaced parts and cost me money but Dennis from Atlee took the time to listen to my situation, figured it out and earned my business moving forward to service my vehicles in the future. Thank you Dennis for your honesty.

Requested a second opinion on my daughter’s car repair from a few places around Mechanicsville and they were the only ones willing to do it. Brandon was very helpful and explained everything in layman’s terms about what they found. The owner was kind enough to help me out by letting me keep car there while I was deciding what my options were.. I heard they had a good reputation in town and Atlee Auto Service did not disappoint.

Atlee Auto is the shop we rely on for regular car maintenance and for diagnosing and repairing unexpected issues. Their estimates are accurate, fair, and thoroughly explained. Their communication is flawless. I am grateful to have found them.

Atlee Auto Service exceeded my expectations! I brought in my Nissan Pathfinder with transmission and ignition coil issues, and they skillfully saved my transmission while fixing the coil problems. They went the extra mile to ensure my inspection was up to date. The prices were remarkably fair, and the service was both friendly and professional. I highly recommend Atlee Auto Service for their expertise and excellent customer care! 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Atlee Auto is absolutely the best. I recently had my windshield replaced, during the process my radio turned on and would not turn off. Brandon worked with me to schedule a convenient time to have my vehicle serviced. The team went through a thorough diagnostic and found there were pinched wires, they fixed the wiring quickly. They also wrote a detailed description of the work on the invoice, so I could submit a claim for reimbursement from the company who replaced my windshield. Because of the hard work, attention to detail, and great notes, I received a full refund in less than two weeks. I recommend Atlee Auto to everyone!

Atlee Auto Service is awesome! I needed a state vehicle inspection and waited until the last minute this year. I first went to a "national" chain ( I won't bash them) and I was told to leave my car for 2 days and they would try to get it done. I frantically called Atlee Auto and they said come on in on Monday and we can get it done. I was there less than an hour AND they didn't "find" something that needed repaired. I'm sticking with my local Atlee Auto Service. They are all very friendly , the waiting area is clean and I feel I can trust them with my car.

I brought my veloster to Atlee Auto on a referral. Dennis was more than awesome and easy to work with. He went above and beyond to help me with the issues I was having with my car. Great place and great service- I highly recommend them for any service you need.

I'm new to the area and needed a state inspection. They couldn't have been friendlier or more accommodating. Nice waiting room, too. Update 4/12/22: I've since used Atlee Auto numerous times. I've never had any issues with the quality of their work or their pricing. Their online scheduling system coordinating with the actual work could be improved.

Had my 2008 Miata in for the following repairs: - Transmission oil replace - A/C Repair - Coolant reservoir replace - Front brake rotor / pad replace - State inspection and overall inspection (use car for road trips) What I like about Atlee Auto: Found a simple fix for the AC problem (just needed recharged) and charged me a fair price to fix it. They found that the power steering needed to be flushed and that I needed an alignment. Also, they let me use parts I had purchased online (not warrranty'd work, but still very cool, many places will not let you do this.) I was certain all this work was going to cost me between $1-2K, especially with the AC repair. Atlee Auto was able to do everything under $800, which I thought was pretty fair. Best of all, I dropped the vehicle off Wednesday night and had it back by FRIDAY. I drove 25 minutes out of my way to specifically take my vehicle to this shop and was not disappointed. Thanks yall
