Went to 3 gas stations nearby, all the ones we went to were broken but were not advertised as broken (Sigh). After a very long night, we found this Exxon - the only gas station that actually had working air pumps! $1.50 per 3-5 minutes which is kinda pricey considering you're paying for air but we were so thankful since the air on my tires were getting dangerously low. read more

Arna Valley Exxon - a pay inspection machine - Gas Stations Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This is one of the finest Exxon's in the US. They saved me $200.00 on a part! I highly recommend them for anyone that is getting their car inspected! The mechanics are experts and very fast! read more

they make their own schedule and they're very happy to let you know that there's nothing you can do about it. Extremely rude and unprofessional. read more

Do not come here for car inspections or emissions testing! Very rude staff incredibly difficult to deal with. After paying $60 for my inspection, I didn't pass (due to a light that needed to be replaced) - so they said if I come back after getting it fixed, they will re-inspect it as part of the cost I already paid. Of course when I come back, despite bringing the piece of paper from the previous visit, he required me to pay double a second time. Beware - go elsewhere if you can read more

Do not come here for a vehicle "inspection". I was extorted by the owner who threatened to fail my inspection unless I got my headlights "cleaned" for $40. Feeling like I had no choice, I paid the $40 so that my inspection would "pass". Huge conflict of interest and extortion. Will never even buy gas here again if I can avoid it. read more

Got a car inspection done here and an oil change. The lady up front could barely speak English and was not helpful at all. It was almost impossible to communicate with her. She would barely even talk and would just point at things. I'm not sure why you would place someone in a customer service position who is not able to communicate with you. Once my car inspection was done, they did not both to call me to let me know that it was finished. I called their number that I found via a google search 5 times and they did not answer. Awful customer service. read more

DO NOT GET YOUR INSPECTION HERE! I came to get my inspection done. I'd brought it there the year prior and passed. Not long after I moved to cali for a few months for work and left the car behind. When i came back i needed to get the inspection done again i came to the same place assuming they'de have to pass me again considering the car hasn't been drivin. When i arrived at 10:00 they told me they were closing which was crazy to me because it said on the door they close at 10:30. I just took the L and brought it in the next day. that next day, i brought the car back up, and they failed it. then gave me a laundry list of ticky tac repairs. From needing to clean headlights to a loose bolt. Even with them being extremely rude i tried to remain civil and have them explain this to me. They failed to do so. i then took my car to a mechanic where they proceeded to tell me that half the stuff they said need to be repaired was actually fine. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSSINESS read more

Words cannot express how honest these folks are at this shop. For years I've come here for inspections. The first time I needed new brakes. They quoted me a price and (big surprise) BMW charged them more for the brakes than Arna Valley anticipated. They stuck to the original quote. This time there was an emissions issue. It took 3 days of me coming back but after all was said and done they only charged me for the time it took to remove a blockage. The dealer offered to check the issue starting at 170. This place for less than a quarter of BMW's "assessment price" fixed it. So long as I'm in VA I will return for all my car needs. read more

Always do a great job servicing by Chevrolet impala with 150k miles on it. They got my baby running brand new! The guys are knowledgeable and friendly. I referred a friend to them and he also had a good experience. I don't mind paying a few extra cents in gas to support a great local business. read more

I brought my car to Exxon Arna Valley to ask for a second opinion as the previous shop I went gave me an exaggerated expensive estimate to fix my car. Here, Mr. Kam not only gave me an honest estimate but also fixed my car in a timely manner. I'm really glad I found a good and honest technician. Thank you again Mr. Kam! read more

Dean under the new management is an honest and helpful guy. Tony the mechanic knows his stuff and can take care of my car and my truck. Fast service, reasonable prices, and a good job overall. Satisfied with their work and will refer others to come here. Thanks Guys. read more

1030 PM and it is closed?! Not just the store, but the pumps. No gas. All lit up, but "all pumps have been stopped". Go to the liberty right around the corner. Cheaper gas, and they've caught up to the 20th century. When credit cards and 24 hr pumps were invented. read more

No problem getting car inspection. Only 10 mins, nice workers and they have premium gas with pumps that actually work unlike the Citgo up the street! read more

I have seen this auto shop go through different management. and I have to say that finally !!! Somebody is doing the right thing when it comes to repairs, I had some issues with my vehicle and even though it was a tricky one they keep trying until the problem was resolved without charging extra or coming up with excuses and bogus mechanical problems. They stand by their work and are very helpful. They are also really nice. I. T. Deegan read more

DO NOT GET INSPECTED HERE!!!!! These people are absolute crooks. They will "invent" problems with your car and fail you on inspection tests. They then use a hard sell for you to get it fixed there and keep charging you throughout the process. 4 visits, three repairs, $500+, and they told me I STILL needed more "tests and repairs". When I called them out on their BS, they used the excuse of a language barrier and told me I misunderstood them. Sorry, but I can tell when I'm getting screwed over in any language. What's next, my headlight fluid is too low or my muffler bearings are going out!?!?!? Avoid this place at all costs, absolutely not worth the headache.....or the frivolous charges. read more

DO NOT GET YOUR CAR INPECTED HERE!!! The mechanic failed my Scion tC for an issue with my brake lights, when I took it to the dealership not only did they say nothing was wrong, but showed me on a brand new car that the "issue" Arna Valley was failing me for is the standard on all Scion tCs. I only wish I could get my inspection fee back. read more

Crist did a great job of going above and beyond in fixing our sentra so it would pass safety specs. There were numerous issues and he took them all on even when difficult complications came up. read more

Came in for an inspection about a hour before closing. Had some electrical issues and they totally took care of me. I ended up being there till way after closing and instead of telling me to leave the car and come back they stayed and worked till the job was done. I will defiantly keep coming back. read more

This place is under new management and I generally get my gas there, get inspections and even had minor repair work done. The last managers truly were crooks but the new folks are actually pretty honest (for mechanics, anyway) and at the very least are transparent and let you know what "has" to be fixed, what "should" be fixed, what "could" be fixed and what you shouldn't bother with. read more

5 stars because they came through in a pinch. I had a flat; the tire was sitting on the rim! I managed to get the spare on and drove the damaged tired around the corner to the station. I had 2 punctures but I was in and out of there in less than 20 minutes when NTB estimated 1-1/2hours over the phone! The mechanic, Tony, checked the inflation on all of my tires, including the spare. A very good experience this time. read more

I went here to get an inspection and it was the worst experience ever. Kumrul Hasan was my inspector and he was extremely rude the entire time. After he finished inspecting my car he said my hood wouldn't close. I tried to assist him with getting it down but nothing was working. I felt he was being too rough with my hood. Because of that, I simply asked him how did he open and try to close the hood because maybe something broke in the process. Then he got upset with me. He told me to stop blaming him and that he does 100 inspections every day. I didn't understand the reaction because my hood was going down and locking perfectly fine before he touched it. Also I wasn't yelling at him or confrontational. I was just trying to understand what happened since I didn't see him inspect the car. Also, if it wasn't his fault why was he getting defensive?! Another technician finally fixed it. He told me the spring was corroded and I would need to get it repaired right away. He never showed me the corrosion so I don't know if it's true or not. Also, I didn't want him to reopen the hood to show me because I feared it wouldn't close again. After it was fixed, Kumral tried to argue with me again about this not being his fault. I felt disrespected and taken advantage of. Even it wasn't his fault there was no need to treat a customer like that. Asif, the clerk working that day, said the owner wasn't in. I'm reporting this station to the state. Kumral and this station shouldn't be allowed to conduct inspections anymore. read more

This is the only place I trust with my car. Full stop. Several years ago, my car was making a noise as I made right-hand turns. I took it to several places, including the dealership, and after many hours wasted, I tried Arna Valley Exxon. Gerson and I took it for a test drive and he said, "it's the bearings." And we had it fixed in no time. The rest is history. I trust him explicitly to tell me what needs to be done to maintain the safety and function of my car. Gerson is the most able and reliable mechanic I've ever encountered. read more

I avoided this place under the old management as I did not trust the old management. However I have found the new management to be quite decent. I I have had a fair amount of work done and have been pleased. Disregard reviews of this place that are old as the old management frankly earned a poor reputation.. The new management is fine. read more

I've been going to Gerson for about 3 years now and he never fails to be professional. My brakes and rotars needed to be fixed and he did an exceptional job, working diligently and promptly. As usual, he took the time to show me where/how the problems were occurring. This was great because I get to learn about my car in the process. In addition, he warned me about safety concerns which he noticed while working on my car. This experience speaks to Gerson's character and abilities, and he can be sure I will return for any future car troubles! read more

I had a decent experience at this shop and my truck is running great after the service. The mechanic was professional and courteous and he completed the job within the time and budget that was estimated. read more

Well I limped into the Exxon off of the ramp off 395 and rolled in with a steaming hot car. I was very frustrated and was not ready for a lecture on how to maintain a car, I did bite my tongue and let the lesson flow. At any rate after that I left the car there and they diagnosed it and called with an estimate and warned that other problems may exist after fixing that (which made sense but thought I may be getting set up). This was late in the day so they held the car overnight and finished it up late the next day. They did find another item wrong (which made sense too) and it only added $100 more. So overall I would say I was pleased (minus the lecture). If I lived in the area I would use them again. read more

UPDATE: So, the great service lasted for about two weeks. Shortly after that, the oil smell returned. I ended up having to take it for a broken rim (unrelated, due to a pothole) up in Wiscasset, ME on a trip to my summer house. When the guys up there (at the single best repair shop I have EVER found) got into the guts of the car, they seriously inquired as to whether or not the work I claimed to have done was actually done, as late '00s-early 10's (basically 2009-2014) BMW's have serious oil leakage problems by nature. They gave me a penlight to look in, and it looked like a tar field under my engine. He said there was no way a shop could have done a $1K repair and had it look like this and claim it was fixed. The implication was that essentially that the work I had done here, was handing over my money for someone to borrow a BMW for two or three days. Those guys (Atlantic Motorcar in Wiscasset - I'd look them up just so you can see the credentials of the mechanics that I'm referencing) basically rebuilt the guts of my '11 328xi and NOW it drives like a new car, probably gave me 80-100K more miles on it. Arna Valley Exxon - I change my tune all, I'd stay as far away from this place as possible. read more

Do not do your emissions test here. They are either dishonest or incompetent. I was told that my vehicle failed the emissions test because of an invalid result--and that I would have to get a $1200+ repair to allow my vehicle to properly complete the test. I went to Georgetown Auto to have them take a look at the supposed problem, but without even needing to look at it, Georgetown Auto told me I had been BS'd and that the Exxon employee's claims made no sense. As suggested, I had the emissions test done elsewhere and it passed no problem, with all data perfectly normal. read more

Ive been going to this Exxon for years and would have agreed with the 5 star review, had it not been for the other day. I quickly pumped 7 dollars of gas to avoid the salesmen sitting in between the pumps, hocking car cleaner. The pump registered my purchase, but failed to pump gas into my car. After a long drawn out contentious discussion with the manager, who refused to acknowledge his pump might have an issue, or take a look at my gas register still below "E". He just kept repeating "I dont care." And that is essentially what made me cut my losses and refuse to return. After going to support a local neighborhood business for years, I would have appreciated at least a smokescreen of "caring." read more

These guys are the absolute worst. By far the worst auto service and customer service I've received from anyone anywhere. 1 star is too generous. read more

I think they're operated primarily by family as they dont seem to understand basic business rules. I went there to have a simple patch done on my flat tire. I went of front and one employee told me to drive my vehicle over and I did. After I did another honked and yelled at me to move. I moved. Then the guy told me to drive the vehicle in. That same other guy yelled at me again. Eventually i left, (the guy told me to return in 30 mins... he'd have it patched (he was nice) so i did. I showed up and waited 40 mins in the lobby. The guy, who was yelling at me previously, was going back and forth so I interrupted him and asked him about my tire (which i left to be repaired) and he gets mad and goes into a tirade about how busy he was. The guy who repaired my tire intervened and told me to pickup my repaired tire. This entire thing was so weird and everyone there seemed to be doing their own thing leisurely with the customer as the enemy. Stay away from this place and unfriendly people like this. This was the weirdest i have ever faced and the owner is extremely disrespectful. read more

DO NOT GET YOUR CAR INSPECTED HERE!!!! The guy failed my state safety inspection for a bad brake. I took the car to another place where I had my brakes done before. The other mechanic said there was nothing wrong with my car!!!! Apparently, this is not the first time this guy has don't this. Total crooks! Stay away! read more

Excellent customer service! Came in for an inspection and emissions test. Everything passed except for a turn signal. They tried to make it work, replacing the bulb and cleaning the connectors to no avail. Eventually they found a short in the wire and made a short term repair. They were very helpful and even ordered a part to make sure I didn't have the problem again in the future. read more

Very honest! They go the extra yard to find used parts for needed repairs and don't tack on items that aren't needed. Much better prices than a dealer, and very dependable. read more

Excellent mechanic work and management at this establishment. They took the time to explain the issues taking place with my vehicle and discuss alternative options. I trust the service and work and will return. read more

just moved down here from colorado. I am in hospitality business for 15 years/ you just can't make everyone happy always. I really understand when people get upset because the thing do't go in their favor. I been to this exxon twice and employees are very nice and honest. They even install my license plates for free. This guy MIKE took 15 to 20 min just to explain me how to proper maintain my vehicle.I HAD MY EMISSION / INSPECTION DONE HERE WITH NO PROBLEM.......THEY ARE THE BEST IN THIS TOWN. I AM A FEMALE AND I RECOMMEND ALL FEMALES TO TRY THIS EXXON. read more

I had a fully synthetic oil change and inspection performed on my WRX. The work was perfect, they topped off all fluids and came in $24 less than Jiffy Lube. read more
