HAYES, VA--(Marketwire - January 19, 2011) - Harris Garage, a full-service preventive maintenance and auto repairs center serving the Hayes area since 1940, was named a 2010 top shop this month by the Monday Morning Mechanic (MMM), an automotive repair expert who ranks the country's best shops.

"One of the criteria for the Top Shop award is it's a place I would want my mom to go," said David Rogers, the MMM. "Not only do you have to be the best in auto repair, you have to be looking out for the best interests of your customer and not simply your bottom line."

Harris Garage provides its customers with honest and ethical service. Employing ASE-certified technicians, the Harris team is qualified to use the most cutting-edge technology, and receives constant training and certifications. Owner Michael Harris trains his team to educate their customers about repair options and preventative maintenance in an effort to prolong the life of each vehicle, providing service in the most cost-effective manner possible.

"With a team of committed and accountable staff, I know my customers are getting the services they deserve and advice that will help their cars run better and longer," said Harris. "With a family history covering more than 70 years in our community, we are extremely focused on bringing quality car care to and building lasting relationships with our customers. The MMM award is a testament this commitment."

The MMM recognizes exceptional auto shops on an annual basis, selecting only those that have outstanding BBB ratings, recognition with other achievements and awards, and provide honest and ethical service to their community. The MMM is based out of Keller Bros. Auto Repair in Littleton, Colo., recognized nationally as the number one shop in the nation with the CARQUEST National Excellence Award. The experts behind the MMM are David Rogers and Terry Keller, AMI (Automotive Management Institute) Accredited Automotive Managers, who share a combined 60 years of hands-on experience.
