Luckily, roadside was there within 30/40 mins may have been shorter! Changed my tire within 5-10 mins!! Definitely recommend.”

ETA accuracy — · Completion — · Cancellation — · operational data not connectedSource: Google Business Profile ↗B“This is the towing company for which you are looking. No Jedi mind trick, they’re just legitimately more capable than the rest. What they did for us: Battery died on our vehicle. Impossible to even put it in neutral. Worse, it was parked behind a house in a narrow, Fan alleyway. (see photo) Over 6 1/2 hours, we had 3 different tow trucks come and go. They all shrugged their shoulders. It was too tight and/or they didn’t have the necessary capabilities. The day was wasted. The next morning, I call Thomas Towing and speak to Abin. From jump, he was positive and can-do. Gave me confidence over the phone that carried over into real life. The driver, J, arrived. “Man, this is tight he said.” Then he just got down to business. What stopped 3 other drivers in their tracks, J made look easy in less than 10 minutes. To be clear, it wasn’t easy, J just made it look that way. From the time I called, to the time J towed it off to the dealer, it was probably an hour total. After a very stressful day before, including one driver who looked at the situation and drove off without a word, this was a real relief. Relax. Thomas Towing has got you.”

ETA accuracy — · Completion — · Cancellation — · operational data not connectedSource: Google Business Profile ↗B“I ended up editing this review tbecause I realized that Richmond Auto is being flooded with 1-Star reviews. I really, truly appreciate everyone’s support here, but I don’t want to hurt them anymore than has already happened, and it was not my intention for more reviews - just to bring attention to my story and my reviews Brian, the shop manager from Richmond Auto Repair, ended up calling me and apologizing for everything that happened, and explained why we got to this point. Brian suffered a horrible loss in his family in the midst of this going on, and is the main contact for all issues for the shop. After the communication drop, I had sent a demand letter in February/March. Brian got it to the owner, and the owner did in turn get it to their lawyers and asked them to make the payment to us (I was shown screenshots of the interaction) and their lawyers confirmed they would. The lawyers did not, in fact, reach out to me - but because Richmond auto didn’t hear anything else in the last couple months (I emailed but it was the wrong email), they assumed that we were in the clear. They let go the guy who crashed my vehicle, too. All in all, it was a really crappy situation, and while obviously there were mistakes made, I don’t think the shop was intentionally ignoring me or being malicious about it - I believe Brian and the owner (who I also spoke with today) and what they told me. I also greatly appreciate that they made the situation right - they ended up giving me over the sum I asked for with the loss of income from my small business and the loss of my truck. So, with that being said - if you were one of the folks who put a 1-Star review, you don’t have to go and delete it, but maybe adjust it to a 3 star review so it doesn’t hit their business quite as hard. Or if you are so inclined, you can delete it. I really appreciate the community coming together to help me out and take time out of their day to do so. Thank you Richmond Auto Repair for making things righ”

What this Richmond ranking is based on
Every company on this page is ranked on two published inputs: its Google review rating and the number of Google reviews behind that rating. Rating decides order first; review volume breaks ties, because a 5.0 average from 8 reviews is weaker evidence than a 4.8 average from 900.
We do not accept payment for placement, and no company can buy a higher rank in Virginia. Companies may claim their profile and submit verification, which adds a verified marker but does not change ranking position. The complete calculation, including how we handle missing data, is published on our methodology page.
Ratings and review counts for Richmond, VA are refreshed as new Google review data is collected. When the underlying data changes, this page and its ranked order change with it.
