This shop goes above and beyond for its customers. My wife and I found this hidden gem and take both of our vehicles here... the team is phenomenal at communication and keeps to their word regarding timing. They are creative problem solvers when faced with unexpected challenges/issues. They don't try to upsell or suggest services that aren't necessary. We will continue to go back here. We've had them redo a suspension on one vehicle, oil changes, battery replacement for bmw, tires and alignment and more. Competitive pricing and quick service make this place the right choice for your next vehicle service. read more

I had my cooked rear light wire replaced and two other repairs the guys did a great job diagnosing and explaining the issue. Great customer services highly recommended. read more

Corey is the best! He's been taking excellent care of me for over 10 years now. He always shows you what's wrong with the vehicle and walks you through it- I fully trust that he's never going to make me get unnecessary work done. He helped me keep my 18 year old car going till the very end! read more

I've been getting my car fixed and maintained here for years. The service is always fast, reliable, and honest. The work has a one year warranty. (I had a coolant leak that returned, and the team fixed it free of charge.) read more

Excellent knowledgeable stuff. They quickly diagnosed the issue with my car. They had to order some parts but were able to get the parts in within 24 hours. Highly recommend their honest service. read more

Great service!!! This is the only place I go for inspection !! Love Capitol Auto Land !!!

Quick and efficient! Thank you for a wonderful experience! Staff very friendly and safety is a top priority!

Cory was very sweet, the guys took on a crazy stupid big bus and fixed it up in a day when no one else in the area would.

Definitely the best auto shop I've been to. I haven't found somewhere so reliable and transparent since I started driving, and I have had multiple cars and lived in several states. I found this shop after yet another frustrating trip to the dealership where they magically come up with about $1000 worth of repairs on a relatively new vehicle. Capitol Auto's approach has been completely different since my first oil change. They do the work you ask for, and they will make suggestions if they see something that needs to be fixed, but it's never an outrageous, long list that a lot of places will try to give you. Cory presents the issues clearly and gives you options to consider--you never feel pressured. I've also gone a couple of times for random small problems, and they solve them quickly. For example, I kept hearing a weird, very faint clicking sound that I couldn't identify when driving. It was subtle but annoying, so Cory took the time to sit with me in my car and listen for it, and he figured out there was actually an acorn stuck in the ventilation system. I really can't say enough good things about this place. I'm so relieved to have finally found an honest car shop that isn't constantly trying to take advantage of me. Taking your car in for checkups is never fun, but Cory and his crew make it as painless as possible. read more

Great shop. Have gone there for 20+ years. They always get it right the first time.

Great service and helpful staff. Got my alternator replaced on a short timeline when it went out the day before a trip.

Great fast service! Needed to get my safety inspection done by the end of the month and everywhere else was not available until January. I walked in and was in and out within 15 minutes. Super friendly staff and manager. Highly recommend! read more

Capitol Auto Land was recommended to me by a friend and I am very thankful to have found them! They have a great back waiting area with free WiFi, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick and thorough. Makes you excited to get an oil change! read more

Corey is one of the most honest business men I have had the pleasure of giving my money too. The job is always done right the first time. Most of the time he gets the work done the same day. he and his team have installed everything from a new gas tank on my classic Mercedes- to a full off road kit for my Jeep. Lift kit and all. The price is never unreasonable. I'm really pleased with the service and attention to detail. One wrong wiring job and your truck burns. So he's not cheap. He is an example of you get what you pay for. He has my companies and my business for life. read more

Worst business practice, you buy Groupon deals regardless it is Regular Oil Change or Synthetic Blend Oil change, they will ask you to BUY full synthetic oil change. The one you purchased, no matter what kind oil change, they DO NOT accept. After this review, maybe they stop luring people with cheap deals on Groupon which they don't honor. I told them my car is TOTALLY fine with regular oil change, but They said "No" we can only do full synthetic. Very disappointed. And don't give your information when they ask you to scan and fill out an online form before you get what you want. read more

Our new family auto repair shop. The owner helped me reduce the cost of a repair from over $2k to just $500 by finding a creative solution. He is so incredibly polite, I watched him deal with a pretty awful human without missing a beat, and the customer left happy. There are multiple waiting rooms - all with a beachy vibe. All you could ask for in a car repair place. read more

I live down the street and was working on my truck when I snapped a bolt off in the manifold. I called and got in same day and was quoted a higher price than I paid when it was done. Great! Since then I've come back for my oil changes and brought in my wife's car. I use their online system which is super easy to make an appointment. They're communicative, responsive and explain what needs to be done thoroughly and is easy to understand. read more

I'm not going to argue as you just confirmed all my previous concerns. For the others who might read this - below are the photos from the official guide of my car. There is no mentioning that conventional oil must not be used. And the merchant tried to cheat me offering more expensive option. When I suggested to use conventional oil referring to the manual - the merchant declined to do that said and asked me to refund the groupon. At the end I wasted my time, he didn't earn money and now he has this negative feedback here with the prove of my intial concern. Was it worth it? Hopefully other potential clients will find this warning useful for their consideration. read more

Cory definitely has a new loyal customer with me. I first took my car to Capitol Autoland two years ago when it was completely nonfunctional from neglect. He and his team were able to identify all of the (many) ways it needed help and got it running well again. Fast-forward two years later. I was tempted to try a different shop for annual maintenance because the shop had free valet pick-up/drop-off. Total mistake on my part, as the shop then quoted what looked to me like super high prices to do any work. I called Cory to see what his prices were, and his prices were far better (30-60% lower than the other quote). He immediately made time for me to bring my car in the next day. And in his new location, he had WiFi and a comfortable lounge area for me to sit in and work for the two hours needed to fix my car. Lastly, while in his lounge, I was able to see how responsive he was, how much he hustled, and how polite he was even to some of the unreasonable folks who walked in. On top of the fair prices and quick turnaround, this made me so glad to bring my car to Capitol Autoland for work. Will definitely not consider straying in the future! read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE!!! They basically attempted to strong arm me into getting work done in order to pass inspection. Crooked AF, lied to me about a minimal issue that passed inspection the SAME DAY without anything being done at another inspection station. Definitely do not trust these guys! read more

Honest, reasonably priced, quick. No nonsense. Will go back. Hard to find that combination these days.

I had an amazing experience at Capitol Auto Land! Cory was incredibly attentive and great with explaining everything he was doing and charging me for. I can't recommend him enough. I will be going back for all of my car repairs! 10/10 experience read more

Great customer service and they patiently explain what needs to be fixed or corrected with your car and always tell you what is critical and what can be done at a later date. read more

Highly recommend getting your car inspection and services done here. I went for state inspection and had a great experience. They were very polite, professional and fast! read more

I'm a very skeptical person, and winning my loyalty and trust is not easy. Furthermore, car repair shops are notorious for dishonesty and hiking prices. I'm so thankful I found Capital Autoland, because I've never experienced either of those here. I initially found them via a Groupon deal, but after a few repairs that ended up being less expensive than I thought and saved me hundreds of dollars from more expensive fixes down the road, I became a dedicated customer. There of been times when I thought I had an issue and they've checked my car only to find I didn't actually need work after all. Can you imagine that, a shop so honest they send you a without paying a dime? Before any repair I used to get multiple quotes. I started googling the prices and what everything should cost. Capital auto land has consistently charged below the average price and the work is stellar. I will keep going back even though the location is not at all convenient to where I live, I wouldn't risk taking my car anywhere else! read more

I put off getting my car serviced the same way I put off getting my teeth cleaned. As a result, more often than not, my poor baby only sees a mechanic when I hear her make loud noises or she lights up the dashboard. Fortunately, Cory, the general manager of Capitol Auto Land, always manages to soothe my anxiety by clearly explaining the problems and solutions to the problems. I never feel pressured to get any of the extra services he mentions, and the prices are fair. Cory and his team work efficiently so my wait is never ridiculous. Highly recommend! read more

Corey is a dishonest person. He failed my state inspection and listed three problems. Among the three complaints, Corey said my right front brakes MAY need to be replaced. When I asked Corey why he thought my brakes needed repair, he responded by saying the right wheel doesn't spin smoothly. Observing him the whole time, I noticed that he made this assessment without removing the tire and thoroughly examining the brake pads and rotors. Is this how we examine brake pads and rotors for safety? Spin the tire and make sure there is no resistance. Very suspicious! I came back for a re-inspection, and Corey said that I don't want to fail you again for not addressing the brakes. I told him the brakes were fine, upon further examination from another mechanic. Corey still insisted that I replace the brake pads and rotors. Corey said he would fail me again unless the right brake pads and rotors were replaced. I decided to take my business elsewhere. That same day my vehicle successfully passed the safety inspection. Always trust and verify an initial automotive diagnosis. Get a second opinion. Protect yourself from unscrupulous mechanics who prey on ignorant naive people. Shame on you! Corey is a wolf in sheep's clothing! Don't be a victim! read more

This was my second time getting my oil changed here. I usually only prefer jiffy lube, but the service is great. Corey was very friendly, and the quickest oil change I've ever gotten. A new loyal customer!!!!! Asia read more

Came in here with a Groupon, but I hadn't realized that the Capitol Auto website had a separate appointment slots for customers with vouchers, and I had selected the wrong type of Groupon for my car! When I walked in, Mr.Nguyen was extremely patient and helpful in getting me sorted, and was kind enough to slot me into a opening they had available. They had a lovely sitting area in the back of the building that serves as a nice reading nook while they made quick work of the oil change on my car. read more

Absolutely fantastic service. Easy to make appointment online, on time, speedy service for oil change, and really well priced. I can highly recommend. read more

This place is really wonderful. Great prices, quick service, responsive and attentive staff. It is very easy to get ripped off when you are new to the area, but Cory and his staff are so incredibly nice and honest. I have followed this business to their new location because of how great this place is. Cannot recommend them enough!! Thank you! read more

They tried to scam me Purchased a Groupon for $19 oil change. They wanted to charge me $45 additional because my car supposedly doesn't support synthetic blend only works with Full synthetic. I change my oil every 3000 miles and use synthetic blend at an factory authorized dealer. Location. Even the manufacturer recommend regular oil They must think customer are stupid Buyer Beware read more

Very pleased with this place. Came for an oil change (covered by a Groupon) and a tire rotation. The waiting room is very well designed with comfortable places to sit, there's hand sanitizer and Lysol, and even a wireless charging station for your phone. Massive TV mounted on the wall, but I didn't need to use it because the whole appointment only took 45 minutes. Cory even threw in a cabin air filter and engine filter replacement for $28 each without adding labor costs. I was sitting near the garage so I could see the mechanic through the window. No complaints about his work. Would come back again and recommend. read more

The best place to go for your car needs. Corey does great work and everyone there is friendly and fast. He even found what would of been a very costly mistake by another mechanic terrible job, and actually showed me everything he was doing. They are very fair with their prices and their work is at the highest quality. I will be going here for all my car needs and will recommend this place to everyone. read more

After my dispute with the manager Corey I went as far as contacting the Arlington police department to solve the issue but of course, they recommend to write a review or contact the better business bureau since it's a civil issue... however, what lead up to this whole issue was the lies they created after they took my money. The CAPITOL AUTO LAND manager and mechanics are bunch of lying and cheating scumbags. Couple of months ago, I had two major issues that needed immediate attention, which was the engine and a water leak on the passenger side of the vehicle which created a puddle when it rained. I have two kids that I transport on a daily basis so I need to deal with it as soon as possible. The engine was fixed and I paid $450 to get the work done. Then I was told the water leakage need to be diagnosed which cost me another $50. I agreed to pay and they notified me that the water lines were clogged. I paid another $50 to solve the issue but couple of days later, it rained and there goes that puddle once again. I went back two more times until he switched the mechanic to take a deeper look at it. He supposedly realized the cabin air filter cover is missing. I have a 2002 Chevy impala so the part was discontinued in every Chevy dealership. I notified him about it and he directed me to the junkyard. I went all the way out to Culpepper VA to get the part and as I came back to get it fixed, they told me it's the wrong part. They repeatedly said the part I was missing is the cabin air filter cover. Later they said 'we call it a cabin air filter cover but it's the part that goes beneath the cover'. After checking with other mechanics, the only part that goes beneath the cover on that model is the filter only, which I already had. I had both parts on my vehicle already but since they did not wanted to admit their diagnostic was wrong and the fact that they already took my money; they told me to leave the premises and not to return. My issue is still not solved and my money was basically a donation to the company and now the smell in my car is very bad because of the water still entering the vehicle. I'm forced to take my kids to school in this condition. I'm beyond furious and highly discouraged in there customer service and professionalism skills. For anyone out there I hope you read this review before you go to CAPITOL AUTO LAND on 3800 s four mile run Arlington VA 22206 for any service you get done on your car. They are a bunch of foney thieves and I hope you choose to go else where. read more

I took my car here early September 2022 due to my car experiencing acceleration problems and cutting off without me doing anything. This shop informed me that the only problems was the car needed a fuel filter. They put one on and assured me that I would have no problems going forward. A few days after picking up my car I was driving less than 5 miles from my home and out of no where the sputtering got started again and my car cut off at a stop with cars behind. Fortunately, I was not on the highway otherwise I would probably not be here writing this review right now. I was able to get back to my house. I had the car towed to Meinke Auto Car Center and they fixed the problem and I have not had any acceleration problems or the car cutting off. As a matter of fact their competent certified mechanics fixed my problem. For safety reasons, I could not recommend anyone to Capitol Auto Land. read more
