From the moment I called, the experience exceeded my expectations. Jay was incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. As someone new to the Richmond area, it was reassuring to have such a positive first interaction with a local business.

Based on my experience, I can confidently say "Yes--I highly recommend this business and will absolutely return in the future". Thank you for such a great experience. C. Rosser

Upon pickup they explained what was done & made sure I didn't have any questions or concerns. All the staff was SUPER nice! Definitely recommend.

They supposedly replaced a part on my car in a few months later I had my car inspected at the dealership and they failed it for that part being broken . They sent me the pictures and when I looked at it, it was crystal clear that that part was original. It had oxidized, aluminum, dry, rotted rubber and it was clearly broken from years of driving. This is just one of several very questionable experiences that I've had with them. I would stay away. You can do better.

I was driving home from work, on 64 just before the Mechanicville exit when I was unable to avoid a blown out piece of tire in my lane (had cars on either side of me, couldn't change lanes). The tire, I thought became lodged and was dragging under my car. I pulled over just to find that it had knocked something loose and I was dragging a piece of my car. I wasn't familiar with my surroundings and just Googled auto repair shops. This shop was a 1/2 mile away. I arrived, explained my situation and although they were very busy, they took my car in immediately, removed what happens to be a large plastic covering (not needed to drive but for undercarriage protection) explained the entire situation to me and then sent me on my way...but refused to take payment! They said it wasn't a big deal for them to remove and they just wanted me to be safe on the road! I really tried to pay, but they wouldn't take it. Both the gentleman that helped me were just amazing. They didn't try to get me to buy anything or sell me extra services, nothing. I will most definitely be back, they have earned my trust!
