Shop staff take the time to show you the issues identified, proposed fixes, and up front pricing.

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.

I tried this auto shop on a Sunday after calling a week prior for an appointment. The fact that…read morethey are open on Sundays is a blessing. The waiting area is clean and the staff was professional. When I made my appointment it was Joe that scheduled me and when I arrived for my appointment it was Sade that checked me in. I didn't wait for my car but they completed the work as if I was there waiting on it. Upon completion they called to let me know that my car was ready. I had the state inspection, parking bulb replaced, headlight restoration, and windshield wipers replaced. I mentioned all of this to one of my neighbors and she mentioned that they are under new management As of right now, I say give them a try if you need a mechanic or inspection. Pricing seems fair and the team seems polite. (10/19/2025)

Rick and Elizabeth are the kind of people you hope to find in the auto repair world -- honest, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to their customers. They never try to upsell or push unnecessary services. If something doesn't need to be done, they'll tell you straight. That kind of integrity is rare and exactly why we've trusted them for everything from routine maintenance to major repairs. Their work is always top-notch and backed by a guarantee. We're moving soon, and honestly, one of the things we dread the most is having to find a new mechanic. Shops like Stan Rollison's are one in a million.

The pricing is worth the level of assurance I received, especially with the warranty and follow-up. I needed my vehicle turned around quickly, and they accommodated my timeline without cutting corners. What stood out most was that I never felt pressured at any point. Instead, they went out of their way in a respectful and professional manner to earn my business. As someone who usually wants a second opinion, I appreciated how they clearly explained what needed to be done, why, and showed proof of the work. They delivered exactly what I needed and got my vehicle back to me on time. I'll gladly continue to bring my business here moving forward.

I came to Car Doctor for a simple oil change, and this was my first time visiting -- I was honestly…read morevery impressed. The staff was incredibly attentive, honest, and welcoming from the start. Even though it's a smaller shop, they have a comfortable waiting area with free coffee, snacks, and water, which was a really nice touch. They took care of my oil change and filter without an appointment and finished in less than an hour and a half. What really stood out to me was their honesty and generosity -- they even told me my next oil change would be free, which I've never experienced before. I've been to dealerships and many other auto service places around the Washington area over the past 20 years, and I can truly say this level of service is rare. This was my first visit, but based on this experience, they've earned my five stars. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend them!

As soon as my free warranty services were up from the dealership, I have been taking my car to Caton's Auto Repair. They have NEVER made me feel like they are trying to upsell unnecessary products or swindling me by saying my car needs repairs when everything is fine. They also go back to look at your records, so if you aren't sure what maintenance services you need at your current mileage, they will ensure everything is done. The employees are always incredibly courteous and knowledgeable. With the thousands of dollars that I'm sure I've saved from not flushing my money away to a dealership that would nickel and dime me, the value of honesty and trust cannot be beaten. I enthusiastically recommend getting all your car needs taken care of with Caton's!

I could not be happier with R&j Auto Shop!…read more I have a 99 Chevy Silverado that has sat for years. I put a charger on it, which read 14.4 volts, but still it would not crank. I reached out to a number of shops, and R&j was the most responsive and reasonable. I am so glad I did. Jorge was very communicative, and texted me to let me know when he would be arriving. He brought all the tools needed to diagnose the problem. Since it was an easy diagnosis, Jorge did not charge a diagnostic fee, which was very reasonable. Jorge let me order the parts I needed, and even suggested I replace the serpentine belt at no additional cost. He replaced the alternator, battery and removed the aftermarket alarm that was draining the electrical system. He even diagnosed the brake issue that we found once the truck was running. R&j Auto Shop is my go to for quality, quick auto repairs. Jorge is a great guy and easy to work with. I highly recommend R&j Auto Repair!!

Extremely bad work and shoddy parts…read more I had them install new brakes in the summer of 2024. By the winter of 2025, the brakes were wobbling. Apparently the brakes they installed were faulty (the rotors warped), but they still charged be $200 to replace them even though they were still under warranty. That would be fine, I guess, if they had done a good job or used good parts the second time, but it's been 2 months and my brakes are grinding and slipping. Apparently, the pins, the rotors, the pin boots, the pads, and a few other parts are so low quality that they're falling apart already. At this point, I'm not trusting my car to these guys again. I took my car to the mechanic near my work in Fredericksburg and paid him $500 to just do the job correctly. I deeply regret not taking my car to him in the first place, as he would have done a good job, stood by his work, and I wouldn't be out $700 for bad work and bad parts. Do yourself a favor and go to a different mechanic.

I've purchased tires, had them perform numerous oil changes, and garnered major vehicle maintenance from them over these past years and I have never been disappointed. In fact, in a few days, they will prove once again why I trust them as they install new tires and a new spoiler onto my family vehicle. Long story short, I have lived all over the U.S. and have visited many auto shops. This one by far takes the cake in their professional work and personable customer service. As long as I'm in the area, I will always choose them. Give them a try, you will not regret it!

I went in on a Sunday and ordered 2 new tires. The employee who ordered the tires for me was great…read moreand told me the tires would arrive Wednesday. Because I rely in my vehicle for everything, I immediately shifted my schedule around to accommodate. The next day I received a call from a shop employee named David who told me my tires would be in the next day and then proceeded to recommend services that I needed. After receiving that great news I adjusted my schedule and looked forward to getting my car sooner. The next day I called the shop to check on my car and was told my Chris that my tires wouldn't be arriving until Wednesday and that that's been the note in my file since Sunday. I explained that an employee named David called me and told me that my tires would be done on Tuesday and he explained that he couldn't see any reason why David would have called me and told me that. Chris offered a discount as an apology while the phone. I picked up my car when it was ready, and the same employee David came up to my husband and told him I had 2 bent front rims. I found it very interesting that he didn't bring up my bent rims when we were on the phone on Monday and that my rims were suddenly bent after I complained about the employee lying to me over the phone. The discount Chris offered over the phone was also not given at the time of payment. Looking into possible legal options now. If you want employees calling you and lying about when your service is done, go here. If you want people being shady with your vehicle, go here.
