Compare the highest-rated dodge repair mechanics in Appomattox, Virginia. All shops are licensed, insured, and verified through our rigorous screening process.
Widely regarded as the premier performance and tuning shop in Central Virginia. While they service all brands, they have a significant reputation for modern Mopar performance, including Hellcat supercharger pulleys, custom dyno tuning using HP Tuners, and transmission work. They are the go-to for serious power builds and diagnostics that stump dealerships.
A highly respected, family-owned repair shop known for tackling complex diagnostics and repairs that other shops turn away. They have multiple ASE Master Technicians on staff with direct experience working on Dodge/Chrysler vehicles, including HEMI engines and AWD systems. They are a top-tier alternative to the dealership for repair and maintenance.
While this is a Ford dealership, its highly-rated service department is one of the few in the immediate area with the OEM-level diagnostic software and factory-trained technicians capable of handling the complex electronics and programming of modern Dodge SRT vehicles. For warranty-related work, complex module programming, or transmission fluid services that require specific OEM tools, this is a viable, professional option.
** The Dodge repair market in Appomattox itself is virtually non-existent for high-performance specialties. Residents must travel to Lynchburg for competent service. The Lynchburg market offers a clear stratification: * **Performance Specialists (e.g., Deacon Performance):** These shops cater to the modification and tuning community. They are excellent for upgrades and custom work but may not be suited for routine warranty maintenance. Labor rates are typically high ($120-$150/hr) due to specialized expertise. * **High-Quality Independent Shops (e.g., C&C Auto Experts):** These providers fill the gap between dealerships and general repair shops. They offer expert-level diagnosis and repair, often at a lower cost than dealerships ($110-$130/hr), and are ideal for owners seeking reliable repair without modifications. * **Dealership Service Departments:** The closest Dodge-specific dealerships are in Roanoke or Danville (both ~1 hour away). As such, the Lynchburg Ford dealer's strong service department captures some of this market by default for diagnostics and complex OEM procedures. **Competition Level:** Moderate in Lynchburg, but with very few true SRT experts. For basic Dodge repair, there is healthy competition; for Hellcat/Demon-level work, the options are extremely limited, giving the top specialists significant pricing power. **Typical Pricing:** * General Maintenance (Oil Change, Brakes): $90 - $130/hr * Performance Diagnostics/Tuning: $130 - $180/hr * Engine/Transmission R&R: $2,500 - $6,000+ (parts extra) * Custom Tune: $500 - $1,200 For any HEMI or SRT-specific work, it is highly recommended to call the specialist shops ahead of time, discuss your vehicle's specific issues, and confirm their current capabilities and workload.
