Family-owned. Family-run. Since 2008.

When you call Chesapeake Auto Repair, you talk to the people who actually work on your car — not a call center, not a service advisor reading from a script. We opened our doors on Industrial Drive in the winter of 2008, and we've been taking care of our neighbors' vehicles ever since.

Our promise is simple: we tell you what your car needs, what can safely wait, and what it'll cost — before we turn a single wrench.

Batteries, bulbs, belts and the small stuff — done while you wait.

Transmissions are what we're known for.

Most shops send transmission work somewhere else. We don't. Automatic or manual, we diagnose, repair, rebuild and replace transmissions right here in our Owings shop — which means faster turnaround, one point of contact, and a job we stand behind personally.

If your car is slipping, shuddering or hesitating between gears, bring it by before a small fix becomes a big one.
