Brought loose tire, as in removed from vehicle tire, for patch from small nail hole at 3 PM. Lucas, my service writer accepted it without disclosing fee because it had to be inspected first. Tire was completed following day by 8 AM. Upon picking up tire, was provided a fee for $46.24 for labor. It should be noted that the Auto Stop charges irregardless of the amount of labor done for their special service. Upon discussing the price with Lucas, he stated that it's like $70 at a dealership. First off, most dealerships do not do tire patches, hence why I came. Upon referencing that the same repair is $25 at Pep Boys and $30 at the respected VA Tire, he stated, "This isn't the shop for you." It should be noted that he told me he would return my money if I agreed to never be a customer again. It seems my point on proper charging versus trying to get free stuff was lost on him. This offer was made while a different upset female customer was ordering herself a ride. If you would like a cookie bag or dog toy while getting surcharges, then Auto Stop is the spot for you. See attachments for your reference.

Full transparency and great customer service. This place definitely deserves 5*. Customer service is outstanding, mechanics are fast and knowledgeable, and the service is overall fair. I was ready to leave my car on the side of the road, but after bringing it in for a list of issues, they had it driving like new. Nothing but good things to say. The location is a bit cramped so call ahead or book an appointment online a few days ahead of time. Don't look anywhere else in the area for a mechanic!

I tried to DIY and install new windshield wipers, but struggled to get them on. I popped over to…read morethis Shell station in my neighborhood, and met Edwin, who quickly jumped into action. He walked out with me and got them installed in 5 minutes. He even grabbed the trash to throw it away and didn't charge me. Super standup guy. I walked away embarrassed that I was unable to complete the task, but he was awesome and I'll be sure and return when I need other services.

I've come here often over the years for oil changes, inspections and occasional maintenance because…read morethe people who work here have been polite, communicative, and prompt. While I have noticed a lack of attention to detail here and there - like forgetting to recalibrate my tire pressure indicator after a tire rotation (a quick fix I figured out how to do on my own) - it was always small things I could overlook. HOWEVER, my most recent experience means they lost a loyal customer. I went in to have them look at my rear brake light that was out. I did my due diligence and knew it could be a brake switch issue, electrical issue, or just that the whole tail light assembly needed to be replaced (it's LED and gone are the days you can buy a cheap bulb and call it good). They assessed the issue quickly and sent me the quote, confirming the whole assembly needed to be replaced....for over $800!?! I looked closer and they were quoting me $544 for just the rear light assembly that I knew was $125-$180 if I just bought it myself. When I asked about this massive mark up they said it was the cheapest one they found as they had called the manufacturer directly and been quoted an even higher price. This is what the $64 sourcing fee they charge is for?! While I respect that businesses need to mark up a part for the sake of profit, this was beyond outrageous. As a woman, I am well aware of the potential to be taken advantage of in these situations and they definitely tried. I picked up my car and will never return to this shop for any service as I do not feel they can be trusted. I was able to source the part for $130 and, with a little help from YouTube and a screw driver, successfully replaced it myself within 30 minutes. My advice would be to find another place for your vehicle maintenance needs or take a few minutes and do your homework before signing anything they quote you. It could save you hundreds of dollars!

I'm not one to go out of my way to write a bad review, but I found my experience with this auto…read moreshop to be particularly bad and want to make people aware of what they will potentially be dealing with. I was having problems with my battery, so I took my car here. They told me I needed a new battery. First of all, the price they wanted to charge me for the battery was significantly higher than anything I could find online, so I asked them to find a cheaper one. They did so, and I chalked that up to not being a car guy and the fact that after all, the shop does need to make money, which I understand. My understanding is that it's pretty standard for the diagnosis fee to be applied to repairs across many auto shops, and this shop advertises that right on their wall. It was one of the reasons I chose to give them my business. So when I saw the diagnostic fee not applied whatsoever to my final bill (400+ for them to change a battery), I asked them why. I got "oh I can do a $70 discount", as if they were doing me a favor. I told them that they advertise applying the diagnosis fee towards the total bill, to which they said "that is not true", and I told them it's right on their wall, which apparently the guy on the phone wasn't aware of. I ended up getting to talk to the "manager", who was pretty argumentative with me, and also tried to deny the existence of the advertisement. When I told him that I saw it with my own two eyes, he then tried to debate me on the definition of "advertising". He then said that the policy of applying the diagnostic fee towards the bill only applies for bills over either 1k or 10k (can't remember which it was). Whatever, I just wanted to be done with them at this point, so I took the $70 discount and moved on with my life. Or so I thought. I recently went to get in my car after letting it sit for a few days only for it to not start up (the original problem I took my car into this shop for). It was dead dead, couldn't even be jumped. I eventually called triple A, and they got it to start with their power jumper. I got a battery test done, and although the battery was fine, there is apparently an issue with the charging system. It sucks, but because of my original experience with this shop, I can't help but wonder if this was the issue from the start.. but obviously, I can't say so for sure, so take it with a grain of salt. I will say, the mechanics and desk workers themselves were quite friendly, but the manager was more interested in debating me than honoring what's on his own wall. Not a great experience overall.

I found this repair shop on Google and after reading the reviews I thought they would be reputable…read more/ reliable. Normally, I wouldn't write a review, but they sent a link asking for a review, so here it is. I was traveling to Northern Virginia over Christmas and my SUV had an alternator issue. I knew what the issue was, I just needed a shop that could fix it on December 23rd as I was traveling out to Western Virginia on the 24th. I had lived in NOVA for 18 years and my regular repair shop wasn't open, and getting a vehicle into the dealership for a repair on the 23rd wasn't going to happen. Needless to say, this repair shop saw that I was visiting from out of state, needed my car repaired quickly, and took advantage of it. They had originally quoted me $700, which is quite excessive for a simple alternator replacement. Then, the technician said his "manager" had to speak with me. His "manager" explained that they quoted me for the wrong car (even though my car was sitting in their garage when they gave me the initial quote) and that it was more complicated to install, so it would be an additional $200.00, bringing the total up to $900.00. I didn't really have a choice since it was the 23rd and I needed my car the next day. The invoice lists the alternator at $446.90 and the labor at $425.00. With tax, the total was $898.71. This should have been a maximum of a $600.00 repair, not a $900.00 repair. But, because they saw that I was from out of state, they significantly overcharged me. Their service team was friendly and professional, however I feel that their business tactics are suspect, at best. They could have made a fair profit on this business transaction, without taking advantage of the situation. Be forewarned when you go to this business. I'm moving back to NOVA and can say with 100% certainty that I would never use this business again.
