Our miscellaneous auto services include:
After-Hours Drop Off
Sometimes auto repair needs arise long after most auto repair shops have closed. With after-hours drop off services, you leave your car at the mechanics shop for repair even if the shop has closed. You simply fill out an envelope, put in your keys, and drop it in a drop box. The auto shop will only contact you when your car is ready or when they need additional information. At Nice Guy Auto & Transmission, we value your convenience and that is why we offer after-hours drop off services. A completed Drop-Off Form will help the mechanic diagnose any problems. Even if we have closed, you just drop-off your vehicle at our shop and our mechanics will work on it and contact you when it is ready.
Fleet Maintenance and Repair
As a fleet owner, you have to do all it takes to keep the fleet on the road. When any vehicle is out of service, both revenue and your reputation as a reliable business are at risk. To make sure your fleet of trucks/vehicles is always on the road, partner with a professional auto shop. At Nice Guy Auto & Transmission, we can manage your fleet repairs and maintenance. We make sure servicing is up to date and up to standards. We handle all aspects of fleet repairs and maintenance.
Most Extended Warranties Accepted
An extended warranty (also known as a service contract) can provide peace of mind to most car buyers. The warranty (or service contract) kicks in after the usual manufacturer warranty has expired. An extended warranty covers major breakdowns and evens out the cost of repairs. Unfortunately, not all auto repair shops accept extended warranties. At Nice Guy Auto & Transmission in Norfolk, we accept most extended warranties. We let you use the service contract to save on auto repair costs.
On-Site Welding
Welding is the fabrication and sculptural process that joins metal parts. At Nice Guy Auto & Transmission, we offer various welding services. Simply give us a call or visit your shop in Norfolk.

The inspection aims at looking for possible defects and potential mechanical problems that could cause disaster. Before embarking on a trip you should make sure your car is fully inspected for safety. You can rely on the experts at Nice Guy Auto & Transmission. We have pre-trip inspection experts who are able to conduct safety inspections on any car, make, and model. Our experts are dedicated to ensuring you have a safe trip. Simply drop by one of our locations or give us a call.
Trailer Hitches, Wiring, and Tires
Although a trailer does not have an engine of its own, it does require some maintenance. The trailer needs wires to move current to the brake lights and other lights at the back. Nice Guy Auto & Transmission has qualified and experienced electricians who will handle your trailer maintenance. Call one of our locations to schedule an appointment.
Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings are found inside of wheels, allowing the wheels to spin freely, and are connected to the brake system. They can become worn over time, causing a vibrating suspension and noisy rubbing as the car is driven. If they break completely, the vehicle will become very difficult to control and unsafe to drive. Replacement interval for wheel bearings varies greatly, but they should be checked for leaks and wear periodically. Nice Guy Auto & Transmission can make sure that your bearings are in good shape and let you know if they need replacement.
Wheel Hubs, Seals, Studs, & Nuts
Wheel hubs play a crucial role in ensuring that your vehicle enjoys a safe and smooth ride. To achieve this, replacing any worn or warped wheel hubs is essential. Allow us to take care of the replacement of your worn-out wheel hubs today.
Effective seals are responsible for oil and grease sealing, contributing to improved performance across varying temperatures and environmental conditions. When seals become worn or distorted, they allow contaminants from the external environment to enter the bearing unit or enable lubricant to escape from the unit. For professional seal replacement services, don't hesitate to get in touch with or visit Nice Guy Auto & Transmission in Norfolk today.
Studs function as threaded fasteners that secure the wheels of your truck. They are permanently mounted on the wheel hub through the brake disk or brake drum. The nuts (lug nuts) are fastened over the studs to secure the wheel. Stripped wheel studs can pose considerable dangers, and damaged ones should be promptly replaced with new ones.
A wheel nut or lug nut is a vital fastener that ensures the secure attachment of a wheel to the hub. A set of lug nuts is employed to affix a wheel to the threaded wheel studs fixed onto a wheel hub. Worn-out nuts compromise the secure fastening of the wheel to the vehicle, thereby putting the vehicle at risk of rolling over.
