4 stars KIMBLEY B Customer since 2012
Service was great!! Work no issue but the vehicle used to transport me to my job was past nasty. I was so uncomfortable in that dirty Durango that I got a friend to take me back because I didn’t want to be picked up in that truck.
Hey Kim, I am so glad you were happy with your service. I deeply apologize about the condition of the Durango used to transport you, this is unacceptable and is being handled immediately. Thank you for making sure we were aware of the situation and thank you for your loyalty!

They rejected state inspection for steering. I took it to another shop for second opinion it passed.
Thank you for your feedback. I want you to know that our client safety is one of our main concerns. If you wouldn't mind giving us a call (434)990-9999 with your name I would like to look into the matter more.

5 stars FAY S Verified customer
I used the shuttle service to and from work. Both times were picked up exactly on time. The driver was very courteous and I felt like he was a very safe driver.
5 stars JOHN Y Customer since 2012
I was very pleased!!! I dropped my car off and they immediately got me a ride to work with Travis who was very pleasant and nice. I was called when it was ready and was offered a ride back if I needed.
When I got there, paperwork was ready and I was out in no time.
Great fast service.
Thanks again!

I never thought I would say this, but going to the dentist is a true pleasure at Drs. Remington & Stover-Mejias. Everyone is so incredibly friendly, from the staff to the hygienist to Dr. Stover-Mejias. I always leave with a smile, and not just because my teeth are feeling pearly white!Read More …
