I have used this auto repair shop for repair/maintenance on both of my older model Mercedes Benz when I can't get to the MB dealer. The owner, V L Carter, and the employees are kind and professional. The prices are average/reasonable. As other Google reviews have mentioned, this is a very busy shop, so plan ahead if you need auto repair.

The mechanics were very polite. They answered all of my questions. The service was efficient and the cost didn't break the bank.

Outstanding place. They took me in at 10AM as promise a day earlier. Even had time to replace my left headlight assembly unit. Had a leak on the original headlight unit. Took them less than an hour. Busy auto shop. Thanks

I called for a service, owner who answered, showed genuine interest of what was wrong with my car. Good vibes came from him. He told me a time to come. Shop was busy but he kept his cool and told me he would get to me soon. Gave me a genuine answering, trustworthy off the back. Good report between owner and employees. Busy, but professional, shop experience. I would recommend to females looking for genuine shop experience,.

Jim works here and he is the best diagnostic mechanic in Richmond so go there if you can't figure it out. Plus they tow. Tell em you'r Jim's friend and you could get a little off the towing, just a thought.

They worked on my compressor and I spent about $400 total. Less than a month later, I'm still having an issue with my air conditioning. They did some work for me before that which was a great job so I said let them again but we'll see how their customer service goes when there's a complaint

Was one of the only auto shops in Richmond open on Sunday. Had a flat front tire with a nail in it, drove it in, a nice employee named George took care of us right away, removed the nail and patched it up within a half hour, only cost 18 bucks. Would recommend for tire work!

WOW. Im so thankful for these two gentlemen! Very polite and kind people. I had gotten into an accident and these guys towed my truck for me back to my house. They got there right when I needed them. I recommend them for anyone who needs their vehicle towed!
