My car broke down next to my schools Starbucks (ODU) so I had gotten my car towed to University Car Care to get diagnosed. The issue was that my car would not crank, but the dashboard lights would come on. I’m not from around here and this was my first time experiencing car troubles while being in college , so I went based off of the reviews and chose them since they were so close to school and I could just walk there to pick it up. THE FIRST THING they told me they replaced was my ignition switch and proceeded to tell me that my car would still not crank and that my starter, battery, and alternator

In and around Old Dominion University Norfolk, University car care is the best one. The employees are very friendly and in there point of view they are helping the students. So, they charge a very minimal fee. They car for the car as their own and they respond to us very promptly. In many places I see they charge a lot, even in the so called very big franchises they just charge us a lot by the name of the brand and hard to reach them if the problem repeats. In university car care they always does with on second charges. Overall they are very good people.

Super professional with good values!
Someone entrusted with personal information lost control of our paperwork and it wound up in University Car Care's parking lot. They called us to let us know and held it until we could pick it up even though we aren't customers. It would have been easy to exploit the information, everyone's worst nightmare in the age of identity theft. I know this isn't terribly helpful given we didn't use their auto srrvice, but it's good to know they're trustworthy which can be hard to find.

This place is AMAZING!!! We are from out of town and our truck overheated the day we were supposed to leave. We called 5 different repair shops including a dealership and no one would take us. University car care didn’t hesitate, recommended that we got it towed there, and helped us that day! In addition, we had a dog with us because we had to check out of our resort. They allowed us to bring our 90 pound yellow lab into the waiting room. Overall, the staff was extremely kind, compassionate, and helpful throughout the entire process.

I called to get a state inspection. Was told that I could bring it in without an appointment no problem. When I got there I wasn't greeted as the employees just continued to walk past me and do what they were doing. After 15 minutes of waiting and watching I was told that I would have to leave my car there overnight and maybe they would get to it tomorrow. I just think this should've been discussed over the phone.

I don’t know why there are reviews saying that this business tends to rip off students because that was far from my experience. Being an ODU student myself, I came in needing a wheel replaced and they were able to do just that perfectly. The cost was more than reasonable, I wasn’t charged for anything that I didn’t know I was getting; they simply listed some recommendations for me to check out. They even gave me a small courtesy inspection for no cost. I would definitely recommend this business; they’re professional, timely, and definitely worth it.

I was actually getting lunch at Subway which is located right next to University Auto when my car wouldn't start. The gentleman working at University Auto quickly helped by trying to jump the car - but that wouldn't work. So he took his time to go back and get another tool and he tapped on the starter to get it to work while I turned on the engine. I'm so thankful for him coming to my rescue as I was running late to an appointment but I was able to get the car started and to the appointment. I tried to pay him but he wouldn't let me and he was definitely my Good Samaritan of the day! Thanks so
