Auto shop & storage biz planned for Short Pump

merchantstireThe Downtown Short Pump shopping and entertainment complex is about to get a few new additions. Merchant’s Tire & Auto announced plans to build an auto repair facility on Pouncey Tract Road near Interstate 64, between the SkateNation and Bowl America buildings, near the well-known monumental oak tree (The County of Henrico has required the developer to preserve the landmark tree).

Site work has already begun on the auto repair facility. A recent building permit also shows that a mini storage facility is on the way. Public records show Richmond-based KBS Contractors received a $650,000 payment from Short Pump Mini Storage to construct a storage facility at 4396 Pouncey Tract Road, next to Bowl America.

    Short Pump Mini Storage Associates LC owns the land @ 4396 Pouncey Tract Road, but does not plan to build a mini storage facility on the site. The building permit refers to the Merchants Tire store.

    I took my vehicle to this merchants for the state inspection and they rejected it saying it needed $1000 in repairs. I took it to another place and it p***ed! DON’T GET YOUR VEHICLE INSPECTED THERE!!
