Auto Repair in Bon Air

At Mac's Service Center, ASE-certified mechanics spruce up any make or model of automobile, extending the life of vehicles with a vast repertoire of services ranging from everyday tune-ups to complete engine overhauls. The highly trained techs supplement their trade with certification in hybrid-engine repair, maintaining the children of gas-powered and electric cars for up to 50% less than the cost at most dealers.

The shop's strict adherence to Tech-Net standards ensures extensive computerized diagnostics and employee commitment to a customer-friendly code of ethics that requires mechanics to obtain customer authorization to perform any repairs in writing or via smoke signal. After each service, technicians spruce up each vehicle with a complimentary floorboard vacuuming, windshield wash, and top-off of cleaning solvent.

Recognized throughout the area for their automotive know-how, the ASE-certified technicians at Tune Up Plus have been caring for and correcting wayward vehicles for more than 20 years. Their skill powers a wealth of services, from basic tune-ups and full-service oil changes to axle repairs and headlight restoration; they can also keep roadsters legit with state inspections and state-bird-shaped stickers. If the promise of Wynn's car-care products isn't enough to attract passing vehicles, Tune Up's technicians lure them off the road with free air-conditioning, engine-light, and brake inspections.

Seen fluttering their stuff in Marie Claire magazine and on CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, CarLashes gussy up previously undecorated headlights by dressing them in black or pink eyelashes and spangling them with richly glimmering eyeliner. The adhesive CarLashes—which fit all types of cars—are easy to apply; comprehensive instructions await online to help drivers update their vehicles' peepers. Designed to withstand the effects of driving, the adhesive is not expected to chemically interact with car paint, chrome, or glass.

The ASE-certified technicians at The Car Shop of Richmond refer to themselves as "the car guys," modestly masking the fact they tune up racecars in their spare time. In addition to servicing high-performance vehicles, the crew repairs electrical and mechanical components, and soups up the aesthetics of 44 makes from the globe's four corners and three slimming pin tucks. Out of respect for their work and those who fund it, they make sure to keep their unassuming brick-and-cinderblock garage tidy and WiFi enabled. Pickup and dropoff services represent another nicety, as does the option of a complimentary online profile that aggregates your car's service history, manufacturer recalls, and maintenance reminders.

With participating locations nationwide, Auto Care Special lets customers reach out to their local garages for a grab bag of free and discounted maintenance services. Cards may be redeemed for multiple vehicles over the course of one year for services such as oil changes, safety inspections, and engine-light diagnoses. Those who move or create alter-egos over the course of the year can scan the locations page for participating garages in their new cities of residence to receive a complimentary maintenance bundle.

Four full-time certified mechanics tend to domestic and foreign vehicles at All Tune and Lube, a full-service auto maintenance and repair center. These mechanics can investigate engine troubles with computer diagnostics, ward off road trip delays with preventative maintenance, or repair air-conditioning units that have transformed speedy coupes into imperceptibly slow-moving icebergs. All of the mechanics’ handiwork comes backed by a warranty valid for 12,000 miles or 12 months.
