    Campus Automotive Towing has been the best BUSINESS I’ve ever dealt with. Not just car related business but overall business. Missy from the towing department has been an angel. I’ve never had someone so kind, patient, and being over backwards to provide the most amazing customer service. She deserves all the stars and praise in the world!!!!!

    I took my truck here for a smoke test, over the phone they told me it would be $80, when I went to pick it up they charged me over $200. They also told me the purge valve canister was the problem. I changed that part out and my check engine light is still on. I would recommend going to another shop.

    This was the 3rd time we have brought our car to Campus Automotive. The first two visits were outstanding. I found the service to be fairly priced, the turn around time excellent, and the customer service was outstanding. The past visit left a bad taste in my mouth, and I am not sure if I will come back. My son brought the Kia in for what we thought was a rear break replacement. We found out that we needed additional repairs which is fine. My son and I reviewed the report and decided to move forward with the repairs. When my son brought the car in for the repairs we were told that the initial report that we had received did not include the labor for the most expensive part of the repair, the rear breaks. Even though we decided to move forward with the repairs, I felt that this was a bit of a bait and switch. I can understand if the labor was erroneously left out of the initial report. We all make mistakes. With this said, I would have expected that a solution would have been proposed that was a bit more fair to us. I am disappointed, and again not sure if I would return or suggest your business to someone else. Thank you, Cary Dresher

    Do NOT get a safety inspection here. In many states, it's illegal for an auto repair shop to also be able to inspect your vehicle. Virginia, however, is not one of those states. I never once failed an inspection in my life, and then I took it to this place and failed because of my windshield wipers. My windshield wipers worked great, less than a year old since I last replaced them. But at the very corner of the windshield wipers, if you pulled at it, there was about 1/4 of an inch detached when you pulled it... and I failed because of that. "It's a safety concern" they said, "but we can fix it for you for $98" I went to AutoZone. I bought new windshield wipers for $20. I installed it in their parking lot. THEN I passed the inspection. Absolutely appalled that these people sleep well at night.
