Tidewater Import Car Service Co

I wouldnt trust anyone else with my Honda ! Tidewater is reliable honest and quick!
I cant imagine driving anything other than a honda because of the customer care I have become accustomed to!

Family and friends have been using this shop for almost 20 years. I barely look at the receipt when I go to pay– total trust for Rob and his business. If you have a Honda or Acura– see Rob! If you don’t, get one and… bring it to Tidewater Import! Also great at giving a used car a once-​over before you buy. Highest recommendation.

Outstanding service, fast, professional! I took my car in because the windows and remote locks stopped working … the problem, though expensive due to parts requirements, was quickly identified AND resolved, far less expensively than had I gone to the dealership! I will use Tidewater Import Car for ANY/​ALL service to my Honda from now on! Thanks for the great work!

Always have loved coming here for my needs. Rob treats everyone like family and has exceptional pricing

Its rare to hear the words honest and auto repair together in a sentence. You will if you go here. Rob, the owner, is impeccibly honest. He will explain everything and doesnt try to sell things you dont need. All of his parts are Honda certified and he stands 100% behind his work. His rates are less than the dealerships and his work is every bit as good if not better. I have been going to Tidewater Import Car for 25 years. I can only say that about my mechanic and my dentist. I wouldnt trust anyone else with my Honda.

I was wracking my brain trying to find a decent, well-​reviewed repair shop for my Honda and this shop popped up in my many searches. I called and talked to Rob, who was incredibly nice on the phone and fit me in when it was best for my schedule. He looked at my car right when I got to the shop and, even though I didn’t get the prognosis I wanted about my car issue, I felt like he was doing all he could think of to fix it. He also told me that if I keep having issues to come back and he would take another look (free of charge!). It’s hard for me to estimate what’s «fair» with car repairs, but I felt like the price was fair for diagnostics here.
The shop is in a big circle of auto shops, which I’ve found to be more comforting since the best auto shops I’ve been to have been in places like this. He has a small waiting area with a TV to wait for your car at if you want.
There aren’t many reviews for this shop on Unilocal,but there are on google reviews so check out more on there. I definitely plan on coming back (should my car survive it’s current issue…).

I’ve been using Rob for years now. A friend of mine said she wanted to by a Honda just so she could use this guy. That got my attention and I looked into him. I’ve lived in the area since 1991 and have used lots of shops. Rob is by far the best thing going for Honda and Acura and I now understand why my friend said what she said.
About a year ago I brought my car in because I thought a rear bearing was going bad. His guys drove the car and told me the bearings were fine but my tires were crap. Turns out that Sam’s Club is cheap but you get cheap tires. I waited about a year and had Rob order and put on tires that he knew matched up to my car. The price was right, the noise is gone and I feel like I’m driving a new car. That’s what I call service.
Rob is honest, does quality work, does it pretty much in the time frame he says he will and is so busy that he charges what is fair because he knows his costumers are loyal and will be back.

Kers J. said it all. Rob’s advertising is his satisfied customers. I’ve recommended numberous friends to Rob. Heck, I’d trust Rob with my kids!

Rob is the best around. His recommendations are geared for his costumers, not his bottom line. Any time I call, he finds a way to squeeze my wife and I in, without a grumble, or mark up. I have spent years looking for a mechanic that I can trust, and Tidewater Imports is the only option for my family.

Rob and crew at Tidewater import car are great at what they do. Even though I live 3 hours away, I trust this shop with my car over anyone else. Why? I worked on all of my cars solo and when I experienced the kind of service and incredible cost savings in time, I saved Tidewater Import Car phone number to my cell immediately. I have taken all of my Hondas to TIC since 2003 and have had the following done:
–timing belt, water pump, coolant flush, belts replaced, (1993 civic ex),
–rotor and brake pad replacement, state inspection (2005 Honda accord ex-​l)
I don’t think I have ever spent more than $ 350 on any car work and that was for big ticket items. With the extremely reasonable prices, how do they stay in business???
The best part of this shop is their knowledge. After doing research on my rotors, I learned the stock rotors are defective over time. At the dealership, they quoted well over $ 400 for the same repair with THE SAME OEM ROTOR… baffling…TIC cost me less than $ 320 for a higher quality rotor AND that included a state inspection. These are the only mechanics besides my family that could ever be trusted with my cars. I highly recommended for anyone with a honda or Acura needing work

Tidewater Import Car use to service only Hondas & Acuras; however, they’ve recently expanded to include all cars. Since my family has been purchasing Hondas & Acuras for 10+ years now, we’ve always gone to Tidewater Import Car. They are honest & reliable. As a 25 year old female who knows absolutely nothing about cars, I always feel like mechanics see dollar signs when I walk through the door. But at Tidewater Import Car, they are always very honest & reasonably priced. They can always squeeze me in, there’s never a problem with getting an appointment. Also, I’ve never had any problems with any of the work they’ve done on my cars.
