About us

Princess Anne Automotive Center is located on Princess Anne Road in Norfolk. While we've been here for a while, the business has recently been handed off to Rick Proffitt. Rick has been servicing cars in the Hampton Roads area for decades, and he is excited for the opportunity to move his business to this newer, larger location. At Princess Anne Automotive Center, our team of professional, knowledgeable technicians understands the importance of providing outstanding customer service. We don't just want your money - we want you to think of us whenever you need to have your car or truck worked on. Return business is the key to our continued success, so we go to great lengths to make sure you walk out of shop feeling not only satisfied, but appreciated. In order to accomplish this, we are dedicated to providing you with honest, timely and quality service.

$258
The next call received indicated oil leaks in the oil pan and tubing and the need for a valve cover.  Price quoted was $750.  I declined and stated I would pick up vehicle. I was asked about performing systems flush and I again stated no additional work was authorized.  A few minutes later, third call informed me the flushing had been completed without my input.  
When bill was presented, I questioned the brake system flush charge.  This has not been addressed in any of the face to face or telephone contacts.  Initally, Ron stated it was discussed.  He later relented, indicating it had been a busy day and he may have neglected to mention this procedure.
Bottom line--I ended paying $258 for a state inspection and oil change.
I next drove directly from this repair shop to Cottman Transmission.  During this short trip, a miracle occurred.  The two leaks healed themselves.  The only problem that could be found was the valve cover gasket. Total cost $206. 
My experience certainly gave the appearance of a major scam.  Had I agreed, I would have paid for repairs not needed and thrown away about $550.  The charges I did incur were also questionable.
I would warn any potential customer of this company to get back in your car and drive away as fast as the law allows.
