SOVA Auto Repair
Why SOVA
Four things we refuse to negotiate on.
Honest Diagnostics
We quote before we work. You see the measurement, the photo, and the number — then you decide. Nothing gets added to a bill you did not approve.
Fair Pricing
Dealership-quality parts and procedures at independent shop labor rates. Tired of dealership prices for a brake job? That is why we opened.
Work Guaranteed
We stand behind everything we do. If something we touched is not right, bring it back and we make it right.
Local Ownership
Locally owned and operated out of Portsmouth, no call center. A real person in the building answers the phone.
How SOVA works
Four steps. No surprises at the counter.
- 01
Call or Book Online
Tell us what the car is doing. We will tell you roughly what it usually is and get you a bay — often same day.
- 02
We Diagnose
Wheels off, scan tool on, measurements written down. We find the actual cause instead of guessing at parts.
- 03
You Approve
Written quote with parts and labor split out, plus photos. If we find something else mid-job, we stop and call.
- 04
Back on the Road
Torqued to spec, road tested, and verified clean. Most jobs go out the same day.
Service area
Seven cities, one Portsmouth shop, short drive.
Drive times below are typical, not rush hour on the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. If you are coming across a bridge or a tunnel, call ahead and we will hold your bay.
