House Resolution 671 is a commemorative resolution honoring JR's Auto Care of Altavista for more than fifty years of service to the community. The resolution recounts the business’s history, including its founding in the 1970s, its later ownership by JC Critchley and his wife, and its move to a larger six-bay facility in 2005. It highlights the shop’s range of automotive services, its independence, and its emphasis on customer service, faith, and ongoing mechanic training.
The resolution does not create new policy, appropriate funds, or amend any statutes. Its effect is purely ceremonial: it formally commends JR's Auto Care and directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to prepare a copy for presentation to the owner as an expression of the House’s admiration for the business’s contributions to Altavista and the Commonwealth.
