Long before he took ownership of Aarrow Transmission and Automotive, Roy Bordner had a knack for fixing cars. While growing up nearby in Sandston, Roy began helping out at the repair shop owned by his father and his great-uncle. And by the time he was a teenager, Roy had already learned how to rebuild transmissions.
After several years as a successful transmission rebuilder and auto technician, Roy took over as manager of the Aarrow location on Research Road in south Richmond. Then, in 2002, Roy became co-owner of the Aarrow location on Pouncey Tract Road in the West End. In 2017, Roy became the sole owner of both Aarrow locations.
Roy and Laurie are committed to giving back to the community. Some of the local organizations they support are FeedMore of Central Virginia, YMCA of Greater Richmond, Hockey Fights Hunger, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, USO of Hampton Roads and Central Virginia, Lab Rescue of Greater Richmond, and the Richmond SPCA.
Unlike other auto repair shops and dealership service departments, we get to know you and your car. We're experts on how your car runs, and we create a relationship with you that you can trust. We want to ensure your vehicle is running as smoothly as possible, so we make sure you have the best working on it. That's why we train our employees to be ASE-certified mechanics who can work on any make and model. You can't say that about most repair shops or dealerships.
Knowing you will be taken care of by an auto mechanic you can trust is a primary goal for Aarrow Transmission. You can rest assured knowing that Aarrow's ASE-certified mechanics have proven themselves to meet the highest standards of service and knowledge set by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.
