I began working on cars in my garage when I was about 16 years old and have had a passion for cars ever since. I have owned and modified many vehicles, including cars and trucks, with various types of modifications ranging from performance enhancements to aesthetic changes and everything in between.
I attended the TCC Regional Automotive Center after completing high school, where I studied automotive technology and also took courses to become a service writer. With over a decade of experience in customer service, five of those years have been spent in the automotive industry.
I take pleasure in being around cars and discussing repairs with customers, making an effort to educate them and ensure they feel at ease with the recommended repairs.

They looked at my car for a transmission trouble code and gave me an honest and accurate diagnostic. I was broke down on the road during the holidays with my family. They could have sold me a transmission if they wanted to but advised me of risks and a realistic failure timeline and I was able to make it home.

I went in wanting a second opinion on my 2004 volvo thinking I had a transmission or engine problem because of the way the car was driving. A previous place said I had problems with both and wanted 3.9k. London Bridge didnt try to upsell me and took a couple days with the car and said they couldnt find any problems related to that, but told me I did have a fuel leak, which I already knew to be true. They had to replace it, and they were very kind and worked with me about the price. They didnt make me feel stupid if I wasnt knowledgeable on something and they were very honest and didnt take advantage. The car drives a lot better now and all the problems I previously had have gone away, leading me to believe it really was just the fuel tank needing to be replaced and not the engine/ transmission.

I brought my vehicle in due to damage from a flood. I needed an engine replacement, which I was nervous about but they explained everything to me and I felt like my vehicle was in good hands after that. They kept in contact with me regarding the claim and were very helpful with the insurance company and getting this resolved in a timely manner! I would recommend them to anyone that needed any work done to their vehicle.

London Bridge Auto and Transmission is the best. Just started coming here last year and finally found my car spot! They dont overcharge and are honest.
I used to get my car inspected at different places and every time I would forget to tell them I had my fog lights capped and the front desk would give me a hard time. Not here. I forgot to tell them and they figured it out on their own and didnt give me a hard time about it, nor did they ask to see the fog lights that were removed. I mean, who brings that stuff to an inspection? They actually do their inspections without needing a heads up and they understand what is going on with your car without any background. Amazing.
I also forgot to bring my car in on time this year, was an hour late despite the reminder the day prior, and they let me drop my car off anyway. London Bridge is super nice, courteous, and understanding. They still had my car finished and ready for me 3 hours later. These guys are awesome!

I wish there were 10 stars I could give them because London Bridge Auto and Transmission is absolutely the best !
My description of the problem my Volvo was having was vague, at best, but they quickly pin-pointed the problem and in less than 4 hours had it analyzed, advised me of the problem and cost, ordered part, made repair and called me when it was finished !!
Brittanys email/phone communication is beyond superb and efficient. Every person Ive interacted with has been outstanding. The work performed has been great and the pricing, I feel, is very reasonable.
I would highly recommend them. Thank you London Bridge Auto for keeping me safe and on the road !!

5 Stars Just Aint Enough
Massive shoutout to the crew at London Bridge Auto and Transmission Repair in Virginia Beach! These legends squeezed my 2012 F250 in on short notice during a brutal 110 heat index day because apparently my truck decided it wanted to become a sauna on wheels.
Well, not anymore. Now its basically a mobile meat locker. Im talking frosty vents, people. Like, Titanic iceberg level cold. I half expected Leo DiCaprio to pop out of the glovebox.
But it gets better, I called them about my old 1977 F150 Ranger, rocking that original R12 A/C system (aka prehistoric dinosaur juice). Ive owned that truck for nearly a decade and have been rolling windows down like its 1985. These guys brought that AC back to life like a scene out of a mechanic-themed zombie movie. Now Im cruising those summer nights in a classic with the cold air cranked and zero sweat stains in sight.
Top notch service, straight shooters, no upsell nonsense. If your ride needs help, this is the place. Whether its a workhorse or a weekend cruiser, London Bridge Auto And Transmisson Repair gets it done right.
Highly recommend. 10/10. Would chill again.
