Emissions testing service near Chesterfield, VA

I started going to 301 Auto within the last year and I like them. Good service, fair pricing and quick turnaround. In one instance I had them check a suspension item on my Infiniti that another shop said needs repair. Would have been an easy thing gif them to agree with the other place and do the $300 + fix. They looked at it, explained what they saw and why it wasn't needed. So I believe they are honest and not just out to make a buck wherever they can. Frank J. Mechanicsville, VA

The tires are reasonably priced here, unfortunately that is the only positive thing I can say. Seredni Tire and Auto on Route 360 in Mechanicsville, Virginia is a shop that uses claims of insurance liability as a sales gimmick in an attempt get vehicle owners to authorize unnecessary repairs and/or work on their vehicles. After you drop off your car or truck, about a hour later you will get call. They will tell you that due to their business liability insurance additional work must be done and that your vehicle is unfit to drive until it is done. This is a nasty sales gimmick used to con people into agreeing to unnecessary work. If your car is unfit to drive that is to be determined by the state vehicle safety inspection station you choose to take your car or truck to once a year. Not an vehicle repair and tire shop looking for financial gain. There are other tire and auto repair shops in the Richmond, Virginia metro area and I strongly suggest taking your business there. Life is too short and we all work too hard for our money. Skip Seredni Tire and Auto on Route 360 in Mechanicsville, VA and go to a business who respects your time and your hard earned money without the unprofessional attitudes, fictitious claims and sales drama found at Seredni.

This is my regular mechanic now. I took my car for an oil change and annual inspection, also needed a couple of things checked out because they weren't working properly. I made an appointment for 7 AM so I could wait for my car. I paid less for my total bill (including the state inspection fee) than I used to pay for an oil change alone. My Acura takes between 4 and 5 quarts of oil, they charged for 4 where I used to go always charged for me for 5 quarts. The two things I had them check ended up being easy fixes (for them) so they didn't charge me to fix them. I was out and on my way in an hour. The people there are friendly and honest. Can't ask for more. They're 5 minutes from my house but I'd go out of my way to have them service my car. I'd give the 10 stars if I could.

These guys are great. I had work done at a local chain shop and they led me to believe I had a serious problem that would keep us from driving back to NC. I called Murray's, explained the situation and asked if they could take a look. Less than an hour later, they had carefully looked into things and found a minor oversight by the previous mechanic. It was cleared up and all is good. Attitude, courtesy, responsiveness, listening skills, mechanical understanding ... all top notch. Next time we're here and need auto work - I'll go to them first. Without hesitation. -Jim

Misdiagnosis led to major issues-then upcharges more than doubled since last discussion ( owner does the work without signed authorization or verbal approvals of the work quoted ).
