6 days from Christmas and hours away from my origin and destination the car broke down in the most stressful of all situations. From the tow, assessment, dealing with the warranty people and getting me back on the road everybody at Lester's were professional, empathetic and overall FANTASTIC! Never have I been so happy that AAA and the VA Roadside Assistance recommend an amazing company.

Best Flat Tire Experience I've ever had! From the time I called to when they were packing up completed was less than 40 minutes! They were friendly and professional. The ability to digitally authorize the work and payment was super simple and easy to use! I was even able to Use Apple Pay which was very convenient given being on the side of the road. I don't recommend a flat tire, but I do definitely recommend Lester's if you get one.

For the life of me I don't know why you'd call anyone else. Jason Lester is a good dude. Took good care of my wife and I. Thank you sir!

Our car broke down in the middle of the night and Jason was very helpful with answering our questions and getting the car towed efficiently!! He was very kind to us and even had our car diagnosed the following morning to let us know what caused it to break down! This company was very pleasant to work with and I would highly recommend them for any towing/mechanical needs!!!

Horrible experience!! I don’t usually write reviews, but this situation forces me to. I was originally told the job would cost around $1,000, but I ended up being charged $6,750—with no updates, no approvals, and no communication from them throughout the process.

This place don’t care about your time. Lester’s has the best location for repairs on your big rig. They’re right next to loves, on the NC VA border. Save yourself a headache and just drive up 52, it’s 20 minutes to IRON TOWING. Lester’s got so much business they act however they want. They’ll get the job done for you, but they just don’t care, they got so much business coming in that they’ll treat you however they feel like and take as much time as they want. Had my truck for a week and a half, called em multiple times, finally called em and was like hey can I at least get an update? Owner gets on and says they can’t fix it. Like, hey buddy, took ya a week and a half to tell me that? I woulda taken it somewhere else. Drove it up to iron towing and three guys came out instantly just looking to figure out. Super friendly, willing to chat and give me my best options. If you ain’t broke down, drive up 52 to IRON TOWING. Or go up to hillsville and go to Bert’s towing. Don’t bring your semi to Lesters, where they right next to loves they won’t give you the attention you need, they making a lot of money on people that break down on the 1000 foot incline where 77 goes up into Virginia. If it still drives, don’t bring it to em!

Lester's is a LIFESAVER. On a moving trip from NC to WI, we noticed a flat tire, while parked at gas station. The tech there said we had a nail in it and sent us to Lester's, right around the corner. Lester's got us in and out in 10 minutes and we were back on the road! Charged us a great price and were super nice! Highly recommend!!

My family of four and two dogs were traveling back to WV from our vacation in SC. It was fortunate that we broke down where we did! They were able to make the repairs in just a few hours and had us on our way back home. They saved the day!!! Thank you Lester’s Transmission & Towing!!

Would not recommend if you value your time. Update: You have the replies turned off but I already spoke with a Manager and it turned into a shouting match not my proudest moment. All that said did not resolve any of my issues with the overall quality of service.

I’m from Seattle Wa. Far away. Needed help. Got great help for a fair price. Highly recommend.

Had purchased brakes and rotors to put on ky vehicle, car would not cooperate so had it towed here. Never heard from them and finally called and apparently the car was ready but a simple brake changed jumped to over 1200. They said blocked caliper but never called to get my approval to fix this, or even inform me of this issue. So they ordered parts and even put a 150 shipping fee on my bill. Upset at the unexpected amount that is a thousand more than expected as the tow and labor were reasonable. But it os the fact they refused to inform me and get consent to proceed or find put if i wanted to get my own parts. Beware have male relatives deal with them if you meed to get repairs from them.

I can not say enough about them. My son and his friends were on a summer road trip from Pittsburgh Pa to Key West, Fla. My trusty van breaks down about 6 hrs in to the trip just inside the Virginia line. Lester's towing came, towed and fixed their van, getting them back on the road and back on track the same day. They were kind, fast and extremely professional. They talked to my husband and assured us that everything is good to go. The guys were back on the road and were able to make their first stop as a late check in. Thank you for your professionalism and taking care of my kid. 5 stars!!

Engine light came on while driving on 77northbound. State police suggested Lester’s. Landon came within 1/2 hour. We thought we needed oil, he knew we needed antifreeze. Which he brought and we were back on the road. Very nice and knowledgeable young man. Thank you for the great customer service.

There are no words to express how grateful I am for Lester’s. I got stuck on the side of the road traveling with two small children and Jason and his son saved the day. They arrived quickly to tow my car back to their shop and were so patient and kind in helping me arrange a way back home. Lester’s went above and beyond to make sure I was safe and my car was taken care of. Thank you!!

We were traveling through and realized quickly we had a nail in the tire and a quick leak. Stopped at Love's gas station and they said Lester's could help but it was around 8pm on a Friday night. We called and they were helping someone else so he said come on over. Thankfully they were open! Jason was able to get us a replacement tire and get us (with our two young kids) on the road quickly without charging us an arm and a leg. Thank you so much Jason and Lester's. Not sure what we would have done without you! Highly recommend Lester's.

Stuck coming from Tampa, I started having car trouble. I stopped by a nearby store, and they directed to Lester's. I was told by the mechanic that I needed 2 spark plugs and a coil. He stated to me that it would be $196. He had to order the coil and it would be around 2pm. I walked to the store and came back. Sat I the car for a while, and he came out and said it was done. Me being the trusting person. Grabbed the receipt and left. Well, now I'm sitting 2hrs away from home stuck because the job wasn't done correctly. Only replaced 2 spark plugs and charged $269.99.

I had the worst experience with my Tesla. Ran out of battery and the second time my car was completely dead. While I was stuck in a whole different state Jason was not only helpful but he was so kind and made sure I was safe. I’m forever grateful for him and the company! Me and koa 🐶 can’t thank you enough!!!!!

I broke down on I-77 headed up the mountain, at night, in the rain on a Sunday. I was driving a 43 foot tag axeled RV pulling a car. When I called for help, the owner showed up within 30 minutes with a big wrecker capable of pulling it back to the shop for repair. The next morning, his technicians pulled us right in and found the fuel filters clogged. They replaced the filters, showed me how to handle the situation if it ever happened again, and then the owner test drove the rig with me just to make sure everything was right. While I'm not from this area, I have to say these were the most helpful, courteous and responsive folks I could have gotten. I highly recommend them if you need towing or service.

I got a flat tire getting off to get gas at Loves Truck stop. Just as I turned around I was a tow truck. I went up to the young gentleman and told him what happened and he immediately wanted help. I told him I have 400 more miles to drive and he said why don’t you just follow me down the hill to my Transmission shop and we’ll get the tire figured out before you get back on the road! Great people! Kind and willing to figure it out!!! Thank you so Much Landen for getting me to the shop and Really thank you to all involved!! God Bless!!!

My wife and I had a terrible accident and Lester’s was called to assist. Promptly 2 wreckers were on scene with the owner himself managing the job. The vehicle was totaled and the U-Haul trailer was damaged. I located a replacement U-Haul truck. Mr. Lester himself drove me to the dealer and when I returned he and 2 of his employees helped off-loading the trailer and the SUV and then reloaded the items into to the U-Haul truck. Lester’s is a busy place with a lot going on and they went above and beyond to assist. He didn’t charge me for the labor. Thank GOD there were no injuries. The only thing we lost was the vehicle and 4 hours. Over the next day I called twice looking for a hearing aid and a personal folio. He personally searched the vehicle and responded promptly. Lester’s is a fine example of how the World is supposed to work. Mr. Lester and his team turned a terrible event into a manageable situation.

These guys were absolutely amazing! They answered immediately, within 30 minutes we were being towed and the Tension pully replaced on my F150 . I was ready to go in no time! They were extremely friendly & very professional! Not expensive at all. I would highly recommend them. I've saved the number if I ever need a tow or anyone I may know! They were also amazing to my fur baby! I wish they were all around the world! Thanks for absolutely everything Lester's Towing, you all rock & are the BEST! #1 in the business.

Excellent experience at this shop. I had to call them out of the blue when an oil line on my Cat engine wore through and leaked. I was lucky they were able to get me in the same day and fabricate a replacement oil line. Everyone I spoke with from the 1st person that answered the phone, to the mechanic, to the service advisor that billed the repairs was pleasant and helpful. I would not hesitate to have my equipment worked on by them if I am in the area again. Thank you for the great service team at Lester’s!

Best road side service in 24 years of being out on the road. Brandon was super fast, courteous and patient with me when my bank was giving me a hard time with the transaction. Lost all my coolant, had bad hoses from engine to the APU. He replaced both lines and did a great job. Very satisfied with the work and the cost. I'm already recommending them to friends. I appreciate it, you guys made a bad day turn into a decent day. Thank you.

The 3 guys that came to tow our truck and fifth wheel camper were timely and knowledgeable I’d call Lester’s again. They were awesome! Thanks guys!!

Having a trailer issue when traveling with a trailer full of horses is the worst. These folks got us back on the road in no time. We didn't even need to pull the horses off the trailer. If I lived in the area, this shop would have all my business. Really, Lester's, thank y'all so much for the speedy repair.

We broke down with our 44 foot 5th Wheel RV on the side of 95N in a place where it was not possible to unhook the RV due to the grade of the hill. Lester’s sent a tow truck that was able to tow both the truck and RV together. At their shop Jason bent over backwards to accommodate us when the part we needed wasn’t available until the next day. 50 amp hook up and we stayed in the RV at the shop. Highly recommended! Thanks Jason and team!!

Sunday before Thanksgiving, I pulled into the Virginia welcome center. Their shop was one stop up I believe… I should add it was 20-25 degrees outside and my diesel is a southern Georgia truck that had untreated diesel with clogged filters. It shut down immediately when I came to a stop and would not start back. I called a few tow places but no one was open. Thankfully a “Loves”ly shop worker/truck stop gave me a list of numbers to call and as I also had minimal service to search the web. THANKFULLY Lester’s answered on the second ring and they said we’ll be right there! They got to us within 20 minutes. Which was great because we had no heat in the truck and I had two small children with a pup too. Yes I know we could go in the rest stop for heat which is what we did… but if I left that out someone might parent shame ha! Landon showed up to tow us and I can’t say enough of how pleasurable he was. My kids were ecstatic to be inside a tow truck (highlight of their trip 😂). He chatted with us as if we were regular customers and had been there before. I couldn’t believe how humble and down to earth he was. He was a very professional young man who knew what he was doing that’s for sure. We arrive at their shop, push the truck in to the heated garage bays and 45 minutes later they had my truck up and running again. They didn’t charge me $1,000’s, they didn’t even charge me $1000… I won’t disclose what they charged me because I really felt blessed at my bill. Unlike other garages, they even let me know I needed bank 1 side fuel rail but the truck would make the trip before needing replaced completely. They changed filters, topped off my fluids and I was good to go. What garage let’s you know that you can continue on without trying to do the work?! NONE! They let me know I could continue on with my trip I’d just need it replaced when I got back home. Wouldn’t you know the truck made the 1500 mile trip with no issues after they got it back on the road. I took it to my mechanic back here and he said “bank 1 fuel rail has 0psi at crank” which is the same thing Lester’s guys had said. Thank you guys, thank you Landon especially for helping us out and being so personable with my wife and kiddos. You guys saved the trip and I appreciate all you did.

Great group of folks. Very knowledgeable and helpful. They went above and beyond to repair my tire at the keep me informed every step of the way. This is my third time there in my first review. They are definitely my go-to people when it comes to car care now. They were able to repair this low quality stock Goodyear tire that was punctured by a gravel.
