Don't just take our word for it, read the reviews:
"The attention and communication I received from Jay and his team made me feel that my truck was the only truck they had in the shop. The team is very knowledgeable, extremely professional, used email, text, and phone to keep me apprised with the repair progress. This resulted in better planning on my end with almost no loss of revenue or impact on my customers. I highly recommend the Pete Store in Gainesville, VA. As a veteran trucker for 37 years, I can confidently vouch for their service and expertise."

"This place is one of the best dealership experience I’ve had. Service clerks were knowledgeable as well patient and understanding of my problem. The facility has a spacious drivers lounge as well as showers and laundry. My repair which I thought would be major but ended up being corroded and loose wire was taken care of in a timely manner as well as a check and advise on two other issues. Price was very reasonable considering what a lot of dealerships charge and I got all this service done in New Year’s Eve. If I have a major problem and I can make it this shop will be my choice."
