Ronnie’s Auto Service

I’m new to town from the sunny west coast and I’m still finding figuring out my new surroundings. And when you find yourself getting used to a new location that you call home you have find the essentials, such as
A good market that sell good meat and good produce, A good barber because well looking good is important ;), A great bartender who can keep you drinkin and keep you coming back, and of course A great mechanic who’s gonna keep your horse running so it can keep you getting to the places you need to get to.
That’s where Ronnie’s Auto service comes in. I was looking to have my vehicle from California inspected and most folks say to make an appointment. I didn’t listen and was told by most shops they didn’t have time. I came across Ronnie’s by way walking around town.
I was greeted by RJ explained the work I needed. He told me he could fit me in but I wouldn’t see me vehicle until the probably the end of the day. They had a lot of cars and I understood and that was fine by me.
I got my vehicle back and was given the news that it didn’t pass… Yeah it was a bummer but RJ and Ron told me what I needed to and that they could take care of it whenever I was ready. Quote me a heck of awesome price. So I might have not passed but I still left feeling satisfied that my the options were addressed. So week later I came for Ronnie’s to take care of my vehicle. They did the work but there was one problem. My trunk/​tailgate was a mess. I couldn’t get to the one thing that would cause my vehicle to fail… LIGHTBULBS! LOL
I was a little stressed out because finding a replacement a good cost required me to drive possible to KY, NC, or 2 hours away. I went Ronnie they said they could jimmy it open and reinspect my vehicle. I said whatever you can do I appreciated it.
About 5 minutes after I arrive home. RJ calls me tell me. «Hey bud we’ve found your part and can get done all in the same day within few hours» Yes sir! Sound good to me. I reply
Ronnie’s cleaned up my brakes placed and pressed on some new bearings, wired up and fixed a potential faulty headlight socket, placed on some new tires, and the icing on the cake… Saved me a trip to a body, saved me from a 4 or 18 hour drive in search of a new part at great cost!
Kind, Friendly courteoushilarious Service with a smile with smile doesn’t even sum up how amazing Ron and RJ are and the work these two do. I’ve got a great bartender and an awesome Mechanic.
I will say this these guy to great quality work and attention to detail. shops can get busy plan ahead and set up an appointment. It will save time and help so can get good service.
Most folks don’t forward to next visit, much like the doctors, cleaners, etc but that’s ok with me because I know whether it’s an oil change or whatever, my vehicle wil be in good hands when I take it to Ronnie’s
Thanks again Guys. Straight shooters and Damn Good Mechanics!
Now I just need a good butcher and good barber who can do a good line or fade.

Dropped by here because I had a flat and it was on my way to work. Though it doesn’t look like much, let me tell you that the service was amazing. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. I received an honest assessment of my situation and even some answers to other maintenance questions I had. I will be using this place for all my maintenance needs in the future. Highly recommend.

About five years ago, my car broke down on the highway and per a recommendation from a friend, I was towed to Ronnie’s Auto. Happy I did! Not only did they fix me up but their prices were very fair. Since then I’ve moved to Charlottesville and have been bringing my car to Ronnie’s for routine maintenance and service since. Ronnie runs a very fair and honest shop and an all-​around great business. They’ve always been kind, courteous, they listen to the whole problem, they know cars extremely well, they never nickle and dime me, they always fix what needs to be fixed — A+ for the company and for the people who work there!
