Arlington Auto Repair

I’ve been having my vehicles serviced here since I moved from NY to Arlington in 2000, and the quality of the service has remained (throughout all these years) courteous, honest, and reliable.

I have always received excellent car service at Shirlington Shell. They have excellent technicians who are always very efficient, punctual, and very helpful. I value the service that Shirlington Shell has provided me for nearly 20 years.

Everyone at Shirlington Shell was extremely responsive and accommodating. My car was fixed promptly, and all repairs were fully explained. The valet service was especially helpful during the current crisis. I recommend them for reliable service.

I was recommended to this mechanic by a local business owner who has been taking his car there for 30 years. He could not say enough good things about this place and it’s owner, Ray. I had my car towed there the other day after my alternator busted. There were a couple of other issues that my Lexus dealer had previously mentioned, and they found those, too. What I really liked about their service is the transparency and professionalism in their communication. They also came up with a creative solution (at no cost) to fix what would have been an outrageously expensive replacement/repair to my driver’s side mirror in one case—showing that they really know what they’re doing, care about their customers, and take pride in their work. The car runs and drives like a dream now. And the icing on the cake is that their rates were much more reasonable than what the dealer had quoted me. Thank you Ray, Ron, and team!

They were very cheerful and nice. Got the job done quickly.

Ron told me that i need some work done on my car to pass the state safety inspection. And he gave me a fair quote and even offered me to test drive the car after the work was completed to ensure the work was satisfactory. This place does great work and has great people as well.

Very quick and efficient annual inspection

I visited the Shell Service station one day to see what their procedure with fixing a flat tire was. I wanted to see if I needed AAA first to put the donut on to drove to the station from 1 block away. They told me bring it in then. I drove with the donut to the station and left the car to be inspected and get an estimate. Two lugs seemed unequal so Bill’s estimate included more in case they needed replacing. (They did not.) The new tire was ordered and just before the car was ready, Bill got my approval of a wheel alignment because it was recommended. The car was ready the same day. Pleasant, thorough, and very accessible. I live only a block away.

We have used this repair shop forever (3 generations in fact) for all our maintenance and emergency repairs. Trust is a rare thing. Highly recommend.

Inspection was fast with no issues. Left the vehicle and it was done within a couple hours.
