    I took my truck to tidewater auto electric a few years ago to figure out why my transmission on my ram 3500 was going into limp mode. Dealership quoted me 5600 for a new pcm and said that was the problem. Tidewater auto electric was able to trace the problem to a broken wire in the harness between the pcm and the ecm. An issue that I never would have found diagnosing it myself. They were very quick with the work and very fair on the price. I rightly recommend this place to anyone.

    I brought my car in for what I thought was electrical repair only to find out that it wasn't as bad as I had thought. Great job!

    I love may older vehicle but things do go wrong. Had apoorly running motor and my mileage per gallon had gone up as well as a rough ideal. Took it to Tripp at Tidewater Automotive Electrical of Chesapeake. I really don't want a new car payment! I did call and schedule a appointment and they were all welcoming and first class people. Left my car and they diagnosed to see what was going on. They called me and said I had a bad O2 sensor and a bad sensor that helped control idle. Also found 2 bad and leaking fuel injectors. They explained in layman's terms that between these three parts that was the cause of my problem. Went over repair cost and I agreed they should fix them. They told me how they guarantee their work. I picked car up next day and I have to say it runs as if it were new. I'm so pleased since another repair shop wanted to rebuild the engine. Thank you all at Tidewater Automotive Electric of Chesapeake. Now I have my happy face back and loving my car.ir
