The owner's name is Steve & he's been doing this for 20+ or 30+ years. Always call before you come because he does not keep regular business hours -- that's the only potential issue here. He's runs the show.
This place looks like it's been here forever. It's an incredibly cool place if you are into that sort of thing. Word around Danville is that he's the most reasonable starter/alternator guy around & he completely went through the starter on my old backhoe for next-to-nothing. He even built up the nose cone where the metal had been worn away which saved me additional cost.
Turnaround time was about a day & he called to tell me it was ready exactly when he said he would. I usually go to Randy's Auto Electric when I'm in Durham since I work in Durham but I frequently go to Danville so I figured I'd try Long's.
I'd definitely return here if I wasn't going to Durham. Oh, if you drive a Camaro, Firebird, or low-riding vehicle, you WILL scrape pulling in there so park on the street. read more
