Valley Garage Doors - 540-292-3667

, ,

The motor on my garage door died recently. I called Valley Garage Doors (540-292-3667) in Staunton on a Saturday. On the following Wednesday a repair man showed up promptly, replaced the motor, and had the door running up and down like a charm. He did it in about an hour. The bill was $525. I was very satisfied.

Stoney Creek Auto - 434-361-1143

Stoney Creek Auto in Nellysford (434-361-1143) promptly solved one of those semi-emergency, frustrating and annoying, auto repair problems for my daughter this week. On her drive in from DC for a short visit, she hit something on the road and arrived with the protective undercarriage of her car loose and dragging.The protective cowling would have to either be removed or reattached for the car to be drivable. A task that required a garage lift, parts, and tools. The folks at Stoney Creek Auto worked her in the morning we called and on short notice reattached the offending cowling section and had the car back in under three hours–all at a nominal cost. Once again we had excellent and responsive service from Stoney Creek Auto and recommend their friendly and reasonable service for your automotive needs. Submitted by Craig Cooper. September 2023

Fisher Auto - 434-361-2230

I would like to recommend Fisher Auto Parts in Nellysford. I had a minor problem with the housing for the front tag of my Toyota RAV 4. They solved the issue in a friendly, practical, and helpful way. Submitted by James Oglethorpe. March 2024

My Subaru Outback unexpectedly started cranking unenthusiastically on Thursday. I drove to Fisher Auto (434-361-2230) in downtown Nellysford and asked if I needed a new battery for the car. They connected a small computer to the car under the dash, put a meter on the battery, and found everything to be as it should. The car battery was fine, but the charge was a touch low. Checking over all of the wirings, they found one of the cables on the battery's two posts was slightly loose. That was it. Cost for this instant, drive-up service provided with a sense of humor: nothing. It's how they sell batteries. I have gotten a similar service shopping for windshield wipers there.
