Generally happy with service, but I won't go back for state inspections. If you fail for something simple like tires they won't be able to schedule a timely follow up and you will have to start over and pay again.

Bell's did my annual check up and 100,000 mile check for me last week and I had another great experience. They helped me diagnose and supported me selling a problem car a couple years ago and have been with me and my Civic since pre- purchase inspection. Tim always checks in with me if I need anything and to ensure the car is running well and their services are top notch. They were originally recommended by a mechanic-friend which says a lot to me and I completely agree with the recommendation!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Oil change

I took my 2005 VW Turbo Diesel in for a Courtesy Check. I was not having any problems, but it had been awhile since the car had a good check, and Bell's is close to where I live. Ricky called me and said there were 5 items that needed to be corrected. The total for labor and parts was $1,441.22. He knew I had not expected such problems. I thanked him and said due to the unexpected expense I wanted to get another opinion. I picked up the car and paid for the courtesy check, $61.11. Several days later I took the car to another service center and had a similar multi-point inspection. The mechanic did not find anything wrong with the car. One thing I didn't understand was that Ricky said my oil was very black. It was changed in June 2021. I do not do much driving now that I am retired. The mechanic at the second service center said that it is usual for diesel oil to turn black after several hundred miles. The staff I met at Bell's were very nice, polite, but I will not take my car to Bell's again.

Bell s was recommended to us by our family. We had van door motor and cable replacement and a driver door hinge replacement. The customer service was very good from start to finish. They had to order a few parts for our repair but made sure to keep us up to date on what was going on. The repairs were finished in a timely manner. Bell s is one of the best repair shops we have been to in Lynchburg. If you need vehicle maintenance or repair take it to Bell s.

So inspite of always getting a dealer to do the work we choose you and glad we did.Your team did an awesome job and in record time. My wife and I brought cookies by as an appreciation of your work. I highly recommend Bell's Automotive.

I have been using Bell's since 2004 for our vehicles. They are easy to work with, honest and do a great job. They are super friendly to make appointments with, offer a ride when I drop a car off, do the work on time and just a great group to work with!

Consistent and ReliableI always receive excellent service from Bells. The option to drop my car off the night before is convenient and they always go beyond expectations when it comes to customer service. My car has 145,000 miles on it and it drives like it did when I brought it home from the show room. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

As always, exceptional service at Bell's Automotive. They always do the work needed, but do an overall check on the vehicle as well as letting me know if there are other issues or impending issues in the future and giving me what the costs will be in advance. I depend on them for all our automotive needs. Thank you to all the employees of Bell's Automotive!

In addition to being our neighborhood garage, the folks at Bell's Automotive seem almost like family. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and I've never had the sense that they were trying to milk unnecessary work out of us. I've had nothing but positive experiences with them and five of our automobiles (including a problem German car).

They are always super professional at Bell's automotive. Rhonda calls through out the process of having work done with updates big or small allowing the consumer to make informed decisions. The owner always follows up after the service is completed. The service provided has always been prompt, quality, and competitively priced!

After forty years with Bell s Automotive I have never been let down. First and most importantly; very honest, professional/kind employees (who I can call friends), records kept on all my repairs. Meaning they can quickly asset if there is a issue or not. Tim has also checked out every car I ve ever purchased. Two of which I purchased from Bell s. I ve been burnt twice badly because I was looking for a someone closer. That won t happen again, I ll drive the thirty miles to make sure I have any issues corrected. You can t beat Bell s Automotive!!!!

Very good mechanics, competitive pricing on their work. They are very thorough and make sure your vehicle is A+ before it leaves their shop. I recommend them if you want quality professional work.

My engine seized up, while I was visiting family in Lynchburg, and I had my vehicle towed to Bell's Automotive. Their pricing, to replace the engine, was exceptionally lower than what the dealership quoted. They were able to locate an engine and install it within a week. I'm so glad my sister recommended this place.

Tried to tell me I needed $1400+ worth of repairs to get my perfectly fine working car to pass inspection. Took it to another auto shop and all it needed was a light. Cost me $20. Dishonest. Will try and cheat you for your money. Avoid at all costs.

I am from out of town and my check engine light came on. Bells got me right in and solved the problem right away. The waiting room was clean and friendly as I had a youngster with me.

Took my truck in for new steel break lines they replaced all for a fair price but tried to get me to pay over $1800 extra in unnecessary parts when they lied about my bleeder bolts being seized. Telling me I need all new calipers pads and rotors. I took my truck there on a trailer and brought it home on one. I am a backyard mechanic and I knew something was up. I took my wheels off and saw no tool marks or traces of PB Blaster. I stuck a wrench on the bleeder nuts and all came loose with ease. I'm just calling it like I see it, they lied to my face and tried to hurt my wallet. I will never go back and would advise going to another shop.
