Terrible…They seem to intentionally fail state vehicle inspections for petty non important/non critical issues that other places would not find to be a big deal. They fail you so they can charge you outrageous prices to “fix” whatever issues your vehicle has according to them. I would never go back here and would go to other places in NOVA for any car related issues that I have. Don’t come to this scam of a place. They are just out to scam and nickel and dime you for whatever they can….The employees were rude and condescending as well….I will never come back.

I recommend staying away, especially if you’re a woman who doesn’t know much about cars. I went in for an oil change and was told I needed an alignment and new spark plugs as well on my 2020 Hyundai with less than 50000 miles on it. I didn’t know any better and agreed to the services which they charged me over $1000 for. My mechanic brother informed me that in my cars user manual, it clearly states I do not need new spark plugs until 97500 miles and that the line they used about it’s being manufacture recommend was a lie. So if you don’t want to be taken advantage of and lied to, I’d go literally anywhere else. I want to support a local shop and ended up getting screwed over.

Sketchy and theives

Avoid this location for anything apart from fueling an empty car at all times. The folks here made my partner change the spark plugs in a relatively new car at about half the miles when that service would typically be required, and charged a ludicrous amount for it, along with an overpriced oil change. I wasn’t there so I don’t know exactly what they said, and they seem to be nice enough people. However my partner was speechless at the final bill and the amount they did to a car that was “in really great shape”. Safe to say they weren’t forthright about the costs associated with their work. I’d go as far as to say they were almost predatory, and their attempt to bilk money from somebody trying to support a smaller service station instead of a dealership should be noted. I would hate to cast doubt on anyones ability to feel shame for functionally deceiving a customer. That does seem to be a fair question though, given they hung up when we called about this. Either way, if they have that capacity for that emotional, my hope is this post will illicit it within them, and inspire meaningful change. To everyone else…I’d recommend another service center that treats people the right way for using their service and paying their employees.

Had no choice but to use this service center, as they were contracted with the roadside assistance program I have. Although some of the employees seem nice, this shop has unethical business practices. With no mention ahead of time, they wanted to charge me close to $300 for a so-called estimate that they didn't provide, on my car they couldn't repair. Upon explaining this, they handed me an incomplete printout they could have gotten simply by plugging my car up to a code reader. I ended up forking over nearly $200 (they were holding my key hostage), which I was told the owner said he'd charge "if it makes you happy". No, what makes me happy is dealing with a service center that does not try to blaringly rip me off. I do not recommend this shop.

I’m new to the area and saw this shop had the best reviews so I decided to try them. out. I’m SO glad I did because I had the best experience! Steve and his team were very professional and got my car back fast! They have great customer service/ mechanics! I can see why they’ve been in business for 50+ years. I would highly recommend and thank you Steve!
