As someone new to the Richmond area, it was reassuring to have such a positive first interaction with a local business. Everyone I encountered was friendly, welcoming, and truly focused on providing exceptional customer service. Based on my experience, I can confidently say "Yes--I highly recommend this business and will absolutely return in the future". Thank you for such a great experience. C. Rosser

Getting an appt was easy, I called in & they gathered my info to send me a quote. I got a quote via text that I accepted to set the appt. There's no waiting room, so you do have to drop off the car & head elsewhere to wait. I had a scheduled maintenance done, and it was ready before the end of day. Upon pickup they explained what was done & made sure I didn't have any questions or concerns. All the staff was SUPER nice! Definitely recommend.

Lewis Scott, his son is the owner now, and learned his trade having grown up repairing cars and trucks , etc. along with his three brothers. These people are fairly priced, they do excellent work that you can count on. Call ahead always. Because they are so busy! Also while visiting there, you will notice that this is a 100+ year old building, that was a stable in the early 1900's. The brick walls still have the partitions that show where each stall was. I know this family very well, because I am Lewis's older sister. You can trust my family to treat you right. ~Peggy Scott Edwards

Malcolm told me to expect him the next day- he was right on time and told me what I needed. When he came back to repair, he was patient with me when I (my husband) mistakenly got the wrong part. He set up while I ran to the auto parts store to amend my (his) mistake. I came back, he got to work, and was finished within a couple of hours. He was patient, hard-working, fairly priced, and timely. I highly recommend his service. *He did tell me that he is working full time now and only doing this part-time, so be patient if calling him after 3pm. It's worth it.

I'm now so glad that I gave them a try; if every service is this painless they have a customer for life. I booked only a few days in advance for a state inspection, and was in and out in 25 minutes for a grand total of $16. No hassle, no upselling, just pleasant interactions with a polite employee in a comfortable waiting room before going on with my day. In comparison, last year I went elsewhere and had to schedule weeks in advance. I was promised the inspection would take 30 minutes only to be left waiting at the dealership for 3 hours. And despite passing inspection I still had to go through the gauntlet of rude sales reps pushing me to spend more than $2000 on unnecessary services. Never again!

I went to Paradise Garage twice, once because I needed oil badly for my car (it burns oil occasionally, necessitating refills) and another time for an inspection. When I went for the oil, they happily gave it to me AT COST and without delay, leaving me stunned at their incredible generosity. I made sure to give my inspection business to them as well, and they were quick and efficient about it. In the past, I would usually go to Merchant's knowing I would be price-gouged and given unnecessary service.
