Jim answered the phone, and from his voice and demeanor, I knew this was the guy I could trust to help my son, hours away from home. Jim didn't have the right tire in stock, but he ordered it and let my son study in the shop while waiting for the tire. I was shocked at how reasonable the price was for the repair. It's nice to have people like Jim in the world when your child needs help hours away from home!

We took a Volvo in after the AC compressor they had installed last fall seized and broke the serpentine belt. We said we wanted an estimate to fix what needed fixing. For $2400 they replaced the AC and belt. Upon leaving the shop the car's AC worked when moving but blew hot air at idle. We took it back. They charged another diagnostic fee and said it needed a fan....for another charge of just under $1000. Immediately after the second pick up the car started throwing codes and blowing hot air; again. Third trip back. They admitted they installed a faulty compressor. After repairs for which they refused to give a statement of what they did to the car, the car died that night and had to be towed away. After putting over $3400 into repairs the car was never driven again. I know Lexington is limited in repair shops but please find anyone else for your auto needs. I had no idea one shop could cause such chaos ultimately leading to junking the car.

What are the chances I would find such a friendly and knowledgeable, fully certified master mechanic while passing through Amherst, VA? It was an unbelievable blessing! My "check engine" indicator light came on while driving to Atlanta. The message said, "Check AWS system." I quickly reviewed my manual, but it only said to pull over and have a garage or Toyota shop read the car's computer. I was worried and had no idea if I could find an open garage on a weekday afternoon or one that could diagnose our problem quickly. Therefore, I looked for garages AND hotels near Amherst because I needed to figure out how long we would be stranded. Amazingly, I found Amherst Garage located nearby, and even more amazingly, they were available to help. Rick plugged in the diagnostic reader to the car's computer. It lit up like a Christmas tree. All indicators pointed to a battery problem, and again, we were fortunate that Rick had the correct battery for my old 2015 Toyota Highlander in stock. The price of the battery and service were very reasonable, and the friendly service from Rick and LC cannot be surpassed. I learned so much that day. He and LC told us everything we needed to know to get another 100K miles out of that car. They made a very stressful experience enjoyable, and I am sincerely grateful. I highly recommend Rick and LC for any car repair on any vehicle.

This garage was recommended to me by two Nelson County locals, so I thought they'd be a great…read morechoice to help me with some issues on my '03 Tundra. Called a week ahead to make an appointment--they're very booked--and made arrangements to drop the truck off for brakes and an oil change. All good, right? Well.... For starters, when I show up with my truck on the appointment day I'm greeted with blank stares and told that I don't have an appointment. Which is funny since I arranged for someone to meet me at the garage and give me a ride into work. ANYHOO... They ended up taking truck and I explained quite clearly what the problem was: the front rotors seemed to be warped because I had a wobble in the wheel when stopping and I have a lot of screeching, bussing, and noise coming out of the back brakes. Also I needed an oil change and the cold air intake filter and air filters changed. No problemo, they said. We will let you know when it's ready. About a week--yes, a week--later, I get the call they have my truck done. I was presented with a bill for nearly $600 for the repairs, which included an oil change, air filter (not the cold air intake, which they said they couldn't do because it's aftermarket. Ummm. Wut?), and front brakes with new rotors. Seemed pricey to me, but ok. I'm told these guys are good. I asked about the back brakes and was told they just needed cleaned out because of debris and dirt in the drums (which makes sense. I live and work on a farm). Ok then. Hand them a couple weeks salary and I'm out the door. The next day I had to travel about 400 miles round trip for business and, as soon as I had to really apply the brakes...the entire vehicle shuddered and felt WORSE than when I had originally brought it in. I will say I noticed a slight roughness at low speed when I took the truck home that day, but I attributed that to the new pads needing to be broken in a bit. I don't know. I'm not a mechanic. The entire trip I was worried the truck was unsafe. The shuddering and bucking increased as the brakes heated up and it just got worse and worse. So, I called the garage back and told them I was extremely unhappy with the work and they needed to make it right. I also asked if a tech road tested the vehicle after the work was done because even at low speed the brakes didn't feel smooth. To their credit, they took the truck back in and re-evaluated without complaint or cost to me. I mean, yeah. The least a mechanic can do is stand by their work. A few hours later I get a call from the shop manager who tells me that the rear drums are warped and need to be replaced. Wait. What? You intitially tell me that it's just dirt and debris and now you're telling me that the drums are warped? Was this not part of the inspection when you had the goddamn drums off the vehicle?! Did no one actually check to see if they were in spec? Apparently not. After some back and forth, I agreed to pay for the parts if they would comp the labour, to which they agreed. A few hours later I get a call telling me that they got new rear drums from the parts store across the road and they were worse out the box than what was on there. I asked if they took that up with the parts store, or if they tried ordering from another supplier and was given a rather opaque explanation about how you just can't trust parts from parts stores anymore and, hey, Toyota has the drums in stock for twice what we quoted you before on the same part. Now I'm pretty upset. To recap: $600 to make my vehicle LESS roadworthy than it was when I brought it in. An entire WEEK to do LESS than what I asked them to (apparently after market parts are like confusing?!). And every time the shop manager opens his mouth it's costing me more money. I know for a FACT they did not road test my vehicle after the work was done. If they had, even a day-one oil change tech would have felt something off with the brakes. So I was let to leave their shop in a vehicle that could have been catastrophically unsafe. My rear brakes still shriek and squeal and I don't like driving on the freeway if I can avoid it. Since I handed Stoney Creek Automotive six bills to fuck up my work truck, I can't afford the money I need to ACTUALLY FIX IT. So if you have a lot of money, a lot of time, and don't care too much about quality service, I guess take your vehicle here. Otherwise, a shady tree mechanic and a sixer of PBR tall boys would likely be a better bet. Worse. Mechanic. Ever. Do not take a tricycle to these jokers.
