What are the chances I would find such a friendly and knowledgeable, fully certified master mechanic while passing through Amherst, VA? It was an unbelievable blessing! My "check engine" indicator light came on while driving to Atlanta. The message said, "Check AWS system." I quickly reviewed my manual, but it only said to pull over and have a garage or Toyota shop read the car's computer. I was worried and had no idea if I could find an open garage on a weekday afternoon or one that could diagnose our problem quickly. Therefore, I looked for garages AND hotels near Amherst because I needed to figure out how long we would be stranded. Amazingly, I found Amherst Garage located nearby, and even more amazingly, they were available to help. Rick plugged in the diagnostic reader to the car's computer. It lit up like a Christmas tree. All indicators pointed to a battery problem, and again, we were fortunate that Rick had the correct battery for my old 2015 Toyota Highlander in stock. The price of the battery and service were very reasonable, and the friendly service from Rick and LC cannot be surpassed. I learned so much that day. He and LC told us everything we needed to know to get another 100K miles out of that car. They made a very stressful experience enjoyable, and I am sincerely grateful. I highly recommend Rick and LC for any car repair on any vehicle.

We took a Volvo in after the AC compressor they had installed last fall seized and broke the serpentine belt. We said we wanted an estimate to fix what needed fixing. For $2400 they replaced the AC and belt. Upon leaving the shop the car's AC worked when moving but blew hot air at idle. We took it back. They charged another diagnostic fee and said it needed a fan....for another charge of just under $1000. Immediately after the second pick up the car started throwing codes and blowing hot air; again. Third trip back. They admitted they installed a faulty compressor. After repairs for which they refused to give a statement of what they did to the car, the car died that night and had to be towed away. After putting over $3400 into repairs the car was never driven again. I know Lexington is limited in repair shops but please find anyone else for your auto needs. I had no idea one shop could cause such chaos ultimately leading to junking the car.
