Engine Maintenance, near Fredericksburg, Virginia

I had been having issues, check engine light (CEL) had been coming on for some time, didn't seem to effect engine performance, boy was I wrong. The issues started out with the notorious "loose gas cap", I did a little on line search and saw where it was an easy fix, so I replaced the gas cap. Well, wouldn't you know it; that didn't fix the problem. The next "code" that popped up was "small evap leak". I figured I'd find the leak myself and bought a smoke machine. Well, long story short, I never used the smoke machine, I'm getting to old to crawl around on my truck searching for some small leak in the evap system. The easy fix was disconnect the battery, problem fixed, for a while. The problems went from loose gas cap, small evap leak, to misfire on #2 cyl. It seemed that every time I disconnected the battery, the truck seemed to run fine, for a while. I've been taking my vehicles to Affordable Automotive for years for inspections, I took my 2015 Ram 1500 in and told them the story, seems that the issue was the injectors were starting to fail, James called me and gave me the diagnosis, James and the people at Affordable Automotive are the greatest, can't say enough about them, my truck runs like new! I will definitely be bringing my vehicles to Affordable Automotive in the future!

Great customer service! This is what I remembered from previous visits in the past to Affordable Auto Repair. They are friendly and courteous. They take the time to explain everything up front and answer all your questions. Matthew handled everything concerning my service from beginning to end. James also followed up to make sure things were right and was a great listener. Just good people to deal with. Oh what did I have done? Had my 2007 Toyota Highlander inspected there today. Inspections are always a necessary pain and I hate it when it comes around. I was there when they opened at 8am and they took my car in right away. I had a couple of items that needed to be fixed to pass which Chris the inspector explained to me and showed me. Matthew, who checked me in, said if I got these fixed, they would slip me back in to verify the fixes, remove the Rejection and replace it with a new inspection sticker. Done deal! Just as they said! I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Matthew, James, and Chris!

I was referred to Affordable Automotive by a family friend. My check engine light had been coming on in my Expedition. James promptly set my appointment, kept me informed of what was needed and within 24 hours I had my Expedition back in my possession. I highly recommend them! Very honest, affordable and very quick turn around. I will be a returning customer!

In my experience this is the best auto repair shop anywhere in the US. Skilled, friendly, talented, considerate and I could go on. After a highway breakdown, they eased my worries with humor, got right on my unexpected problem, fixed the issue for a reasonable price. and had me on my way in 3 hours. They turned a nightmare into a dream. If you live within 30 miles of this shop you should bring your car to them for any service.

What an amazing experience I had with this repair shop. From the first phone call to my actual experience was beyond what I expected. I had the pleasure of dealing with Jame and Matthew and they both went out of their way to make sure my concerns were addressed. The honesty of this company exceeds the majority of the auto repair establishments that I have encountered in my 27 years of living in this area.

I initially took my car to Affordable Automotive to get a State Inspection years ago. I was so impressed with them, and the way they treated their customers, that I immediately switched to them for everything I needed concerning my car. And over the years, I've come to appreciate them, their honesty, the quality and dependability of their work and of their employees and staff members, more and more. So, Thank You to all at Affordable Automotive and especially to James. I truly do appreciate you all.

Let me start by saying James was a pleasure to work with and that there wasn't a time where I was uniformed or out of the loop. I took my car in for an AC repair and it ended up being that the AC compressor had failed, which means I had the pleasure of replacing the entire AC system. I believe it took a day to get the parts and finished it the day the received the parts. The AC ended up not cooling as it should due to a faulty part, which was no fault of their own. I did have to end up taking the vehicle back for another appointment, but was provided a loaner vehicle to keep from having to UBER. Additionally, they took care of the problem for no additional charge, which I definitely appreciated. Hopefully, I never need any more repair services, but If I do, I'll take it to Affordable Automotive Repair where they have already demonstrated to me that they are both fair and honest.

My time spent at affordable automotive was the most excellent experience I ever encountered. Their rates are far more superior with more affordability compared to all the other mechanics in the Fredericksburg area. I will definitely come back next year for my car service.

We decided to take our vehicle to Affordable Automotive Repair. My faith in the existence of competent vehicle repair has been restored. We highly recommend this repair facility to anyone, especially military service members. The owner and staff are committed to providing excellence in service and are quality repair focused. Our jeep diesel was competently repaired with no trailing issues. As a matter of fact its pickup/handling performance has improved dramatically.

I have been going to Affordable Automotive Repair since I moved here from MCB Camp Pendleton in 2009. By far, this is one of the most fair and honest automobile repair shops that I have ever had the pleasure of being associated with. I won't take my vehicles anywhere else, and I would definitely recommend checking these guys out!

I dropped a company vehicle off because of an abs and traction control light came on. I was scared to drive the ford hybrid any further. The guys at there shop had it fixed and back on the road before I got off work and it has been great ever since.
