A Longstanding Reputation for Quality

The foundation of our reputation was laid nearly a century ago when the original shop opened its doors. Located in the heart of Norfolk, we became a trusted source for local drivers who needed honest answers and dependable work.


Over the decades, vehicle technology has changed, but our standards have not. We have adapted by investing in new diagnostic tools, keeping up with training, and learning how to serve the evolving needs of our customers without losing what made us dependable in the first place.


Ownership has changed hands, but the commitment to honesty and consistency remains the same. The current team continues the legacy of E.S. Auto Repair by delivering the same trusted service customers have relied on for years, with a fresh focus on customer experience, transparency, and up-to-date solutions.
