John was thorough in gathering information and explaining on the front end, and then as we looked at the quote, both men were very helpful.

DO NOT TRUST THEM FOR ANY WORK. never before have I ever wished I had taken a video and pictures of every part in a vehicle before leaving it with a mechanic. I will never trust mechanics again after the interaction I had with Capital Auto in Fredericksburg. The car was not even at the location when I came to pick it up, and all the rims were scratched to pieces like they took it for a joy ride. they didn't even have the inspection sticker to put on the car after paying them for all the work they said needed to be done in order to pass. then had the audacity to say "you have 14 days to come back and get the sticker". They failed the tires, and when I picked up the car, put tires on that had VISIBLE HOLES AND DAMAGE, and were dirty like they came from a dumpster. They then had the audacity to say "nobody has ever complained before". I asked over and over for them to even just merely take a look at the trash tires they installed, and they refused. Absolutely AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! ZERO STARS

For more than 12 years I took all six of my cars to Parkway Automotive and received great service…read morefrom Jimmy and his dad. Then they sold the business to the new owner. The very first visit cost me $60 just for them to look at the car. It just got worse after that. Two of my kids took their cars there. The first was given a list of eight "critical" repairs that needed to be done immediately or something terrible would happen. Estimate was over $3K. Got a second opinion (Lake Ridge Automotive) and only one repair was necessary and was done for less than $100. Today, another kid took a car there and was charged $160 for them to plug in the engine fault code reader. No work was done, just read the codes! Not sure if it was the same lady at the desk each time, but I would not recommend this business to anyone.

A HIDDEN GEM IN STAFFORD... NO SIGN. NO ADVERTISING AND NO PROBLEMS!…read more So about two years ago I was referred to Cecil the owner/mechanic at Aruka. His price for a timing belt on my 2003 was about 65% lower than everyone else. He recommended I do the water pump at the same time.. gave me a list of items I would need and allowed me the option to supply my own parts. He completed the job in half a day as promised and all was well. A month or so later my OTHER vehicle was having an issue with the heater not blowing very hot. I it it off for a few weeks as it wasn't that cold and the year before my previous mechanic quoted me a heat element and a relay of sorts.. but I didn't do it then as it was the end of the season. Then on the way home one night the car temp needed started climbing into the red so I pulled over waited for the car to cool down.. checked the radiator and found it full and green. My thoughts... water pump or hopefully the lesser cost thermostat. I dropped the car at Aruka and an hour later he told me it was the lower radiator and recommended a replacement. CHEAP in comparison to other quotes I got around. He also told me the two problems were most likely related... and they wer e. One repair and the heat was blowing and the car was cooling. Now he was a trusted advisor... So a few months later I went to check the oil on my third vehicle and found the upper radiator hose collapsed flat. So I went to the parts store and got a new hose thinking that is the issue... old hose and two clamps later I was done... on my to find the new hose collapsed the next day. I asked the counter folks at the parts store and they thought thermostat or water pump. But I called Cecil to confirm and sight unseen he said.. radiator cap.. $9. And done. He was right. Recently he rewired my utility trailer and was able to fix a ground problem I have been trying to correct since 2005. He also rewired my van hitch relay when no other mechanic wanted to touch it... also finding a hidden fuse in the link I would have never known to look for otherwise. Bottom line... this guy has no sign on his shop, doesn't advertise, but is always busy enough, but not so busy that he can't get it done in a day. He stays later when he has too so you don't have to. Heck one time I couldn't get back to town until after 9pm and he told me not to worry about it and he would send me a bill. WHAT.. Trust the customer?! I know he probably would not want to spend the day with my kids.. but I trust him enough in every level... even with my kids. Of recent he completed a timing, a tune up, and a brake job... all at reasonable pricing and without issue. Need a mechanic you can REALLY TRUST? Look no further... but know that his shop is hidden behind Mercer Trucking in the same property... no sign, no fan fair, no waiting room or coffee... but a great service experience with positive results. Look no further... go to Aruka and say Hi to Cecil.

His wife and business partner, Corina, is lovely and took quite a bit of time with myself and my daughter on researching and reassuring me. The fact that Cecil took me on after hours as the engine light came on when I was driving home!, speaks for itself. This will be an unfolding story as they are working on it now. Corina told me that Cecil believes this is God's world so no greed is allowed!!! Very reassuring and I agree. Nice to meet decent people!!!! Well the car is done and this has been one of the best car repair places I have encountered. Reasonable rates and they are letting me keep the car there a few days while I work on registration. Super people!!!!
