Honest mechanic what more can you ask for? Reliable service at reasonable rates.

Always straightforward and thats with pricing and prioritizing repairs. If you can get it done cheaper believe it or not, they will let you know. Better off going directly to the dealer?, believe it or not, they will let you know. Communicative staff and excellent customer service. If the staff member is not a mechanic they don't pretend to be and try to talk over your head. Honesty is a big thing in my book and this business has proven to be honest and loyal. I drive 40 minutes to Larry's because this is the only place I trust and Ive had negative experiences with other mechanics since moving to the area. They have worked on our Audi Q5 and our Mazda CX9 and will continue to work on any vehicle my family drives.

“Fixed” a leak in my coolant system, had to go back the next day as it was still gushing fluid, then had to go a third time because Jiffy Lube tech told me my coolant was low. None of the guys in the shop speaks English fluently, so it makes it hard if you go after the office closes at 5. On the plus side, the office manager is very nice, they just don’t do top-quality work.

Took 5hr to get 2 bolts 🔩 out but when I drove by they working on other cars had it for 2days $575 never again prices are outrageous 😑

I spent more money than I expected, but they did an awesome job! I also liked that the waiting area had comfortable seating.

Larry's auto diagnosed my wife's 2018 jeep renegade oil leak and repair with ease! would gladly recommend them and I am very happy with their services!

So thankful for these guys. My daughters car needed an alternator quickly so she could get back to work and Larry’s Auto made room for us. Amanda is the excellent face of the business, she took good care of us! Highly recommend this business.

Tried to charge me $1700 for a repair that other nearby companies offered $700. Then tried to charge me a $110 diagnostic fee. Horrible shark of a company..

Excellent customer service! Quick and reliable. I always know my car is going to get great service here!

I wouldn't even give them one star but google requires at least one. This is the worse body shop I have ever been to. I had a terrible experience with them 2 years ago with an oil leak on my Audi A4 that resulted in me taking my car to the Audi dealership and getting a printout to prove that they never fixed my oil leak that they kept claiming to fix. So when my engine went in my car last year, I was very vocal with the dealership that I did not want my repair to be done by their shop which is "Larry's". I was instructed to take my car to "the auto doctor" instead and never once was I told that "Larry's" owns this body shop as well. Well I thought I was dealing with someone reputable who told me they had found a great used engine with a 2 year warranty on it and it would cost me $5700 so I went for it. Unfortunately I hit a rough patch financially and could not get my car right away. Five months later I go to pick up my car from "the auto doctor" and it wouldn't start so they had to jump the battery. Immediately I could tell something was wrong, it drove terribly. Granted I figured it hadn't been driven in a while so maybe I needed to put fresh gas and fluids in it and let it run for a bit. Well on my way home from work my EPC light comes on and my car had no power. I called "the auto doctor" and received no response so the very next day not even 24 hrs later I took my car back to "the auto doctor" only for them to tell me they are taking my car to Larry's because they had put my engine in. Why have me pay "the auto doctor" almost $6000 as if they had repaired my car only for me to find out a body shop across town that they knew I did not want to do business with actually "fixed" my car? Well I'm thinking I have a 2yr warranty so either way it should be fine. Nope! Larry's tells me my turbo boost cylanoid needs to be repaired and will cost another $600 after I just gave them $6000 a few days before. l bring up my warranty and they tell me I do not have a 2yr warranty but a 30 day warranty. After some back and forth finally they agree to fix the turbo cylanoid but they tell me that because my car sat for 5 months at "the auto doctor" that my 30 day warranty is now void and if anything else goes wrong with my car its all on me. Well guess what not even a week later my car is at another shop with the engine light on and no power. I have not had my car back two weeks! Needless to say I will never buy another car from that particular dealership as I have bought 2 in 3 years, nor will I do business with "the auto doctor" or "Larry's". Beware and DO NOT take your car to them for anything.

Not gonna lie, I hesitated. and now I feel horrible for second guessing a shop. From the moment I walked in the staff were eager to get my issue checked and in less than 24hrs had my vehicle up and running. (My brakes were completely broken) About to relocate to Texas and I am absolutely happy I came across Larry's Auto! Thanks again kind lady at window and Mr. Tall mechanic!

Solid work, reliable. Saved a few hundreds vs. dealership.

The experience was great. I went there today and yesterday. Problem: highway vibrations @ front axial @ 60-70mph. Problem identified within the first 10min of looking at the car: locked rotor and pads. Since I was waiting on site, car was fixed within 2.5 hours with great quality on Saturday. Minor vibrations still occurs and the owner asked me to go back and do another calibration for free on Sunday. Larry is very hardworking and I wish the best for his business.

Very good service

Feb 07, 2022

We had a truck go into here in July for a busted fuel line. We got it back in early August and drove a mile down the road and it broke down again for a fuel pump and control module. Waited until the last week of September for the truck to finally be ready. Drove it back up to Culpeper and smelled diesel leaking, took it to a trusted guy we use (Rays Auto in Culpeper) and they said that Larry’s incorrectly installed a fuel line and caused the leak as well as missed completely that the water pump was also leaking. I don’t know how they are AAA rated and you should NEVER use their service. Overcharged and take forever and just don’t know what they’re doing! Horrible service do not take a car or truck here.

Worst mechanic shop ever 3 hrs for a oil change what a joke

Feb 07, 2022

the service is excellent, the owner and workers are professionals and always explain if you need to work on the car. thanks for the great work and professionalism.

Being on the road cross country expediting and broke down on the side of the road is scary.. Thank goodness we found a place that works (specializes) on Mercedes Sprinter Vans. They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating.. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any kind/type of repair work! Thank you again to all the staff!

Excellent service and my car is running great!

I took my GL 450 Mercedes SUV to Larry’s after Mercedes Benz of Charlottesville quoted me $8,000 to fix my truck. I took it Larry’s and saved 65% and I’ve never been happier! They are professional and believe in doing the job right! They will always have my business!

Feb 07, 2021

Like every other owner operator i experience problem with my truck and happens to have luck and call this guys.They are very knowledgeable and professional. Not just they helped me with my issue they hooked me with towing truck for very affordable price...Thanks Yasha

Feb 07, 2021

Polite & professional upfront. Quote was considerably less than competitors. Once the job was finished, the billed doubled. Antifreeze or coolant, and a serpentine belt shouldn't double the price for a water pump replacement job. After all, a belt (whether new or old) has to be installed for a water pump replacement. Coolant replacement was not what I asked for, thus they could have asked me before replacing 8 gallons of coolant at $25 per gallon. Advance Auto has the coolant for $10.99 a gallon, on sale, and half a block away... Overall, not satisfied. Won't be a return customer!

Quick And Quality Work

Scroll no further – you have found the right place. Larry’s Automotive and Truck is THE place to take your vehicle. They are honest, fair, talented, and go above and beyond. My college-aged son was traveling through Charlotteville on the way to a job interview at 8am the next morning in another city when his car broke down. How one treats a person who cannot be a repeat customer, reveals true character. Larry showed up within 15 minutes of a phone call and worked with my son to get his car towed. His hardworking, talented technicians stayed over three hours after the shop closed to complete the work so that my son could finish his trip and make his interview first thing the next morning. Larry’s Automotive and Truck Repair got him back on the road with a safe car. In such a pessimistic age, people like Larry and Yasha, the mechanic who fixed the car and shared his dinner with my son while my son waited, are a very real reason for optimism. These are honorable men who go above and beyond. It is little wonder that Larry’s Automotive and Truck Repair is considered one of the best – if not the very best – repair shops in Charlottesville. Larry - we are blessed by everything you did. Thank you. Thank you so much.
