For many years I been using this gast station .The guy, the attendant is really nice person with me, always helping when I need it! the prices are okay for my limited budget indeed ! I will continue using it this particular gas station ! read more

Terrible customer service. Their website takes online apppintments but when you get there, the owner says he doesn't know what you're talking about. I went there for brake service and the owner proceeds to tell me that he's not the dealer and that I would need to bring my own parts for him to install. Then walked back into the service bay and continued to yell at me. Don't waste your time going to this goat rope. read more

When in McLean, be sure to go here. Usually BP's are more expensive than their competitors. Strange here's the best deal usually on gasoline. It is in a cramped location, but saving money can help. Having a 33 gallon tank isn't fun. Yet at least if here or going into DC via the GW Parkway, this is an option. The signs and pumps are showing age. This probably bothers the area yuppies, but to me I can clearly see the prices and inspection stickers. There's a small convenience store. It's got friendly people here, and it's located near so many things to do. Was saddened to see my favorite nearby "McLean Pizza Restaurant " closed after 60 plus years, yet when here I'll stop in. read more

Needed a Virginia Inspection sticker. Quick friendly service. Tech was helpful in pointing out that I needed to get my wheels aligned soon. read more

Supriya assisted me very late one night when I had a flat tire. She was very kind, and accommodating to assist me when everything else was closed. I also met Mr. Kim, the owner. Both of these fine people should be commended for their stellar personal service given to me with a smile they provided. read more

Who in hell are they paying to write these positive reviews of the inspection process - and who on god's green earth gets their car inspected and then thinks, "that was so great that I want to let strangers on yelp know about it, so they can share in the pleasure."? My car was fourth in line today, and they said 10-15 minutes per inspection. So I leave my car with them for 1.5 hours (they let you do this, leaving them with the key and name/number). 1.5 hours should have been plenty of time, no? No. I come back, it still isn't in there, but a car that was not one of the 4 in front of mine is in there. And it's taken him forever. So yes, if you feel like waiting 2 hours to spend the same 30-40 bucks to get a sticker that you can get anywhere in a half hour, it's really a top notch customer experience. The refrigerator is also broken, so you can't buy a cold water, no a/c where you can sit and wait (don't worry, it smells great in here though) and after the last 30 minutes of listening to the cashier assure other people dropping their cars off that the wait is only about 45 minutes (I've held my tongue), I'm pretty sure, certain actually, that I wouldn't trust them to actually do any work on my car. read more

bp - Service is our best part - Gas Stations Near Me - McLean, Virginia

See all

Service could not have been ruder. The guys in the auto body shop were very aggressive when speaking to me and treated me like a child. I stopped by for an emissions inspection and only had one car in front of me. I parked diagonally behind the line and was assured by the cashier that my car was not in the way and that I did not need to repark. 10 minutes later while I was sitting in the small waiting area, one of the rude men from the auto shop came up to me and said "Why are you parked like that? You need to move!" (no introduction, no 'hello', nothing.) The cashier spoke up in my defense and said "No she doesn't. It is fine where it is." I just sat there silently stunned by this abrasive interaction....after a few seconds, the rude guy just held his hand out and said "Give me your keys, I'll move it then since you won't" Would they have spoken to me like this if I was an older man?!?! WTF. Once my inspection started, the same rude man came up to me again saying "You need a new headlight. Go in and talk to him if you have questions" and then he walked away from me. So then I walk into the auto shop and approach rude man #2 who is performing my inspection. As soon as he sees me he asks "What do you want? Why are you in here?" Me: "Um the other man told me to come ask you about my headlight" Rude #2: "What about it? The light is out." Me: "Oh ok, will this fail my inspection?" Then Rude guy #1 comes up behind me and rudely says "No! That has nothing to do with your inspection, it's a separate issue, I told you that already" Um...no he didn't. Also, was it necessary to get so irate even if he did already tell me?! I paid for my emissions inspection and left to find another shop to replace my headlight. When I got to my new auto shop (Frames automotive), the owner told me that someone left their ball point pen under my hood. Way to go Mclean BP! Let me know if you need you pen back. Everyone beware of the rude staff here. Save yourself the drama and just get your emissions inspection at the gas station right next door. read more

Cheaper gas than the rest of the nearby stations. Not many pumps, however. I don't know about the repair sector though. This review is just for the gas. read more

Gas price is the best out of the 4 gas stations, but the pumps are a bit slow. The gas station has old pumps that need to be upgraded. The other thing is that there is no canopy over the pumps like most gas stations have these days. That money you can save mean on gas, but expect to get wet if it is raining or snowing ! The price of cheaper gas ! read more

Always the cheapest Gas price in town. Fast and efficient Virginia inspection service.Owner called my attention to the fact that my New brakes were an unnecessary expense since my low-milage car would not have required them.An out-of-town Service Center insisted on the necessity of this Very expensive job.All my car repair jobs will now go to BP in McLean. read more

Unable to diagnosis the problem of my car for repair, but charged me over $100 and said no problem! My car is now dead on my driveway. This station also given me overly high quotes for other services in the past. read more

I think it's a combination of my having a penchant for rooting for the underdogs, and spending my formative years at British Boarding school, that I find myself alone pumping gas at the BP in Mclean. With 4 clusters of pumps, around the clock open hours (when paying at the pump), and probably most important, a 2 cent lower price than the competitors make this station a winner. There is also a service bay for inspections and maintenance, making this into a proper "Service Station", something that none of the other gas stations offer. Let's keep in mind that while we may be pissed that BP did a good job and messing up the gulf coast, their stations are owned by local people like you and me. read more

This is one of the most fast, friendly, efficient and low-cost Virginia State inspection and emissions stations in Northern Virginia. I highly recommend. read more

bp - Car wash fundraiser today - Gas Stations Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Stopped here quickly to get gas and use the restroom. Th only reason I'm writing this is because of the restroom. It was probably one of the cleanest bathrooms for a gas station I've seen. Plus there was no key or code to use. So that's nice. The attendant inside the station was also very nice too. That's it. That's all I got for this. Happy peeing. read more

I went for a state inspection yesterday, around 1 pm. the car in the inspection area was sitting there for a half an hour with no one working on it. a state inspection should take 10 minutes MAX. i asked how long until they were finished with the prior vehicle and they said "eh 15 minutes" there was literally 2 chairs in the smallest store front so there was no point in waiting in there. i dropped my car off since i had to be back at work, so i walked. they said they would call me once it was done. 2 hours later i get the call saying it was done. now 15 minutes and 2 hours are completely different time periods. i have no clue as to what they were doing for that long. needless to say my car passed and it was $16 total. not bad, but i wish the wait wasnt as long, considering i was the next car in line. read more

This review is for gas services. This gas station always has the cheapest prices for all octanes of all the nearby competing major gas stations. I always fill up here when in the area. Because of the great prices, this place is busy especially during rush hour. This would be 4 stars for price, but the extra amenities are awful, so I rate 3 stars. Cons: The pumps are old and slow. The station is old. They don't fill the paper towel dispenser. The washer fluid bin for the windshield squeegee is never filled. There is no awning for rain or shade coverage. read more

The gas prices are a little more expensive here then the surrounding places. You'll never have to wait for a pump usually though cause it doesn't get that crowded. read more

I know that BP isn't popular right now because of the spill in the Gulf, but I'm still going to be a faithful customer at this BP station. First, the prices are typically lower than other stations in the area. Second, the guy who does the inspections is great. Even with a line, I'm still in and out in no time at all. Finally, the best part, you can pump gas first and pay later. I hate that pre-pay shit. read more

Update: I went and got the oil changed and had another great experience with this shop! Nelson and his crew were super nice and got the job done quickly. They are client friendly and truly feel like your small town, friendly neighborhood mechanic shop. I'll definitely be returning in the future! read more

BP gas stations to me normally seem over priced and not worth the money. However, this one is different. Whether it's because it's in old McLean, is run by a Korean guy, or is across the street from a souped up Exxon that charges almost 5% more for gas than the BP (never seen that before), this one keeps drawing me back when I'm in town. The inspection station is a good bet - not packed like other places and gets you done in about 15 minutes. Not bad at all. read more

I don't want to award any stars here at all because... My mother-in-law had been using this service station to perform maintenance on her Chevy Geo. While the car is old, she is an elderly woman who doesn't put much mileage on her car and keeps it meticulously maintained. Still, pretty much every time she took the car in for inspection, etc., they were charging her close to $1000. The final straw was charging her 10 hours of labor on a timing chain (which she may or may not have needed). Her son complained to the owner, Mr. Lee, who explained his mechanics are on commission and that's how they make their money. Well, Mr. Lee, ripping off your customers is ripping off your customers, whether it's via "commission" or just blatant over charging. No one from our family will ever use your service station again; not even for gas. read more

Terrible and rude. I had my oil changed there about 6 or 7 months ago, and they broke my oil dipstick. They did not get it out nor replace it. Today I went for a state inspection because I moved to VA from DC. The mechanic took my DC tags off the windshield and kept them. I called to get them back, and he had the gall to yell at me when I told him to give the tags back bc I have to surrender them back to DC by law. He yelled he had to take them and I was wrong. I am not wrong. I had to go all the way back to demand the tags back. He's lucky I didn't call the cops for tag theft. I will NEVER go back read more

I regularly come to this station for gas for the lower prices. Last week, I needed air in my tires and was struggling to get the device to work. The attendant came out to help me several times to make sure I was able to inflate my tires properly. I greatly appreciated his help. read more

I don't even want to give one start to their service. Everyone who works there is rude. I was there for my car. It was a busy day and I waited for 2 hours for my turn. Simon Kim, who was the inspector, came out and asked me which one was my car. I told him which one was mine. He yelled at me "you should move your own car to us and you don't help us" My car key was turned in at the cashier when I checked in and nobody told me anything about it. He, then, stormed out. I wanted to complain to a manager. When I asked a cashier about a phone number, the literally said he was not allowed to give his phone number. Man..... I would not go to that place and would not recommend anyone either. read more

I have always had great service here. 2 weeks ago I dropped my new car off because I had a nail in the tire. I was called an hour later that it was ready and the grand total was $20. Really who does anything for $20 these days. I stopped by this morning with my other car and they were overly helpful helping me with the tire pressure in another car. I always get my inspections done here as well. keep up the good work read more

This only applies to re-inspections. Result has been confirmed with the Virginia State Police When you are coming back for your re-inspection after repairs are compete, you go to the front of the line. (This applies to all VA inspection facilities) "...if a vehicle returns for reinspection within the 15-day period, the rejecting station will reinspect the vehicle without delay or at the reasonable conclusion of the current inspection being performed" (VA LIS). If you are not re-inspected, without delay, call the Virginia State Police - Safety Division (703)803-2622 before you wait in line. I failed the inspection this year, after waiting two and a half hours in line. When I came back for a re-inspection a couple of days later, the inspector refused to inspect my car after the current inspection. If you read the code regarding the re-inspection process it states "...if a vehicle returns for reinspection within the 15-day period, the rejecting station will reinspect the vehicle without delay or at the reasonable conclusion of the current inspection being performed" (VA LIS). After going back and forth with the inspector, I eventually gave up, even though he was being nice about telling me to get to the back of the line. I went inside to talk to the cashier and asked him the same question. He was very short and unprofessional about this. After trying to confirm that I was correct, he disagreed with me and said I had to wait in the line. I wasn't confrontational at that point because I was only about 90% sure that I was right. I gave up and got in line with my rejection sticker, and waited for all the other full inspections to be done. It didn't take as long as the first time luckily; I think it was about an hour. When I got home, I called the Virginia State Police - Safety Division just to confirm what I thought was correct. The Trooper I spoke to told me I was 100% right. If you are getting a re-inspection, you are the next car in the shop to be inspected. They asked me if I wanted to file a complaint, but I didn't. I have used this inspector for a few years, and he has always been professional. This was a one star experience. I am only rating at two stars because of my history with the inspector. Here is the link for the Administrative Code if you want to look it up. http://law.lis.virginia.gov/admincode/title19/agency30/chapter70/section60/ read more

I love this place for state inspection & emission test because you don't need to make an appointment & every time I've been there, Mr. Kim pretty much runs on schedule ~15 min per car. If you don' want to wait, go before it opens at 8:00 & be the first person in line. I took my car there yesterday & found out that it didn't pass because the brake pads were worn out ( I have been noticing the squeaking but had ignored it)... the service guy on the repair side took my car right away, told me up front how much it would cost & fixed it for me in 1 hr. Sweet! The place isn't much to look at & there isn't any pretty place to sit & wait but there is a Starbucks across the street:) read more

Last week, I locked my keys in my car while filling up here. The staff were very helpful. Even with missing a part of the equipment for unlocking a locked vehicle they were still able to unlock my car within 10 minutes or so. Persistence worked and they saved me a couple hours calling my Insurance company to aid me. Very thankful! read more

Mr. Kim is the best! Our whole family trusts him with our safety and emissions inspections. He and his staff are very thorough and their prices are fair and comparable to those in the area. They keep pretty long hours and even towards the end of a long day have always been very friendly and kind. The many thank you notes by the counter can attest to it! True, it is kind of odd to review a gas station, but as someone who really hates getting any car maintenance done the fact I found a place that makes the process more bearable is great so I wanted to share. read more

The inspector does not honor the rule as written in 19VAC30-70-60 "if a vehicle returns for reinspection within the 15-day period, the rejecting station WILL reinspect the vehicle WITHOUT DELAY or at the conclusion of the current inspection being performed." Even when presented with the rule he said no. Yet, he is a nazi with every inspecting point. read more

I've used this station for many years, and always get my inspections done here. They are courteous and the services are always done very professionally Today, I unexpectedly had a nail in my tire, and they fixed it quickly and cheerfully. Did not have to wait long. Gladly pay the extra few cents for gas as they provide the best service in the area. Highly recommended. read more

Extremely rude in the automotive shop. They advertise ASE Certified personnel, yet the "technician" couldn't even put grease in a tie rod end. I would NEVER trust this shop to even put oil in my car. Unless you like being talked down to or treated like crap, stay away from this shop! read more

Terrible. Took car for inspection and oil change. Car started leaking oil immediately afterward. Took car to another mechanic (Rossyln Automotive) and they said the oil pan bolt was loose / missing washer and tightened it. Still leaked (because plug was replaced/missing washer) so I took it back to BP. They charged me full price for oil change because the oil leaked out while they were fixing their mistake and charged me for the bolt they lost/messed up. I argued and the guy took $10 off (which is the price you can get online for an oil change. I presented all paperwork and the guy would not acknowledge that they messed up. WISH I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS. read more

Consistently lower gas prices by 5-10 cents compared to the 3 neighboring stations. Friendly employees and I've never waited to get an inspection for more than 10min read more

Had my front brakes done here - never again. Not only did they charge me more than the estimate, but when I got new tires a few months later, I was shown that they LEFT TWO LUG NUTS OFF! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this BP station. The gas prices are consistently lower than the neighboring two gas stations and I was a loyal pumper for YEARS at one of the competitors until they changed their rewards credit card program. I now only will go to this BP to get my gas. I took my car for a safety inspection today and they were very friendly and efficient. They were ultra-accommodating even though I had two little ones with me. I will be coming back here from now on for all of my safety and emissions inspections. read more

Aside from having the cheapest gas (always!) in the neighborhood, I appreciate the helpfulness of the elderly gentleman at the customer service counter who, for several years now, has helped me to put air in my tires. (I've not learned to do it and am fearful that I'll over inflate my tires if I tried so I go to him.) Lately, I've been ably helped by Nestor who kindly checked my car for p/brake cable issues for free. He eventually worked on my car and gave me a break with the labor cost. It's heartening to find kind souls every now then, they restore your faith in people especially in the auto service industry. Thank you Nestor, and thank you BP McLean. read more

I came here for an oil change, but unbelievably rude owner/safety inspector honked at my car and yelled at me for stopping in front of the garage. I then backed off and moved my car to the left side of the garage, The staff seems terrified of him and no one even cared to give a warm welcome to a potential customer like me. read more

Didn't appreciate the pumps getting turned off as I was starting to fill up. The attendant could have come out to kindly say they were closing but instead stayed inside and just turned the pumps off and 30 seconds later all the lights. Thanks BP for your to be expected crappy service. Serves me right for picking the cheapest gas in McLean. read more

I concur with the outstanding customer service review of this particular BP station. Moreover, one of their service technicians recently went 'above and beyond' by offering to recycle a florescent light fixture I had sitting in my trunk at no extra charge. read more
