Excellent service on wheel alignment. Felix met me at end of service and went over alignment report and what was done. Fair price of $120 for alignment on the Subaru.

I have nothing but high praise for Felix Auto Service this week, a local family-run business! As another small business owner, it's important to have a reliable and trustworthy go-to mechanic. They replaced the transmission oil on two Prius vehicles (with premium trans oil) and did a minor temporary fix under the cars until I get the part replaced. They seem quite knowledgeable about other jobs. I appreciate their hospitable and friendly communication regarding concerns. Prices are fair for the value. I highly recommend their shop and look forward to bringing my cars there again for service, etc. Go Felix Auto Service Team!

They do it all !

I love that its a family business . Frank the manager was friendly and attentive . He answered all my questions , and didn't try to push other services on me like a lot of auto shops do...Especially to women . It was a fair price for an oil change . Around $35. In and out, took less than 30 mins. Although I did call ahead. I will definitely be back for any service my car needs in the future . ( one thing is its a little tricky to find you go in through the back ... follow the purple flags!)

Had these brothers mount and balance the wheels. They did a great job at a very competitive price. I'll come back!

Had my aftermarket wheels/tires mounted and balanced on my truck. No scratches or damage and did a great job. Don't think you'll find a cheaper price. Thanks Felix auto

Frank was fair and clear about a prepurchase inspection I'd like to have done by their shop.

I can't recommend The Car Doctor enough!…read more My transfer case catastrophically failed, and I was incredibly lucky that my car broke down just two minutes away from their shop. It was around 10:00 PM, so I searched Google for the nearest repair shop and found The Car Doctor. Even though they were closing, one of the employees took the time to help me drop off my car. That alone showed me they genuinely care about their customers. The next morning, my car was fully diagnosed, and they clearly explained the issue and gave me multiple repair options without any pressure. Since replacing the transfer case is a major job, I was told it would likely take a few days. To my surprise, I received a text message the very next day around 5:00 PM saying my car was ready for pickup! I honestly couldn't believe how quickly they completed such a big repair. The price was very fair, but what really stood out was the outstanding customer service, professionalism, honesty, communication, and efficiency. Everyone at the shop treated me with respect and made a stressful situation so much easier. Thank you to the entire team at The Car Doctor for taking such great care of me and getting me back on the road so quickly. You've earned a customer for life. Highly recommended!

I came to get a safety inspection and realized that I left my key behind and was driving on my…read moredigital key. Sigh. So 30m later I returned with my key. I got there Sunday morning so went to the Mexican restaurant around the corner (it wasn't bad!) and then had a couple beers at the brewery around that corner. About 2.5 hrs later, I decided to come back and just in time, my car was ready! They told me it was on them! I didn't have to pay for the safety inspection! I was floored! That was pretty cool.

Turns out the last mechanic I went to didn't even install the transmission lines correctly. They were able give me a loaner car to go support a friend that day in Harrisonburg. They then didn't try to upsell me on a bunch of things and made it clear what should be immediate fixes vs what could be delayed or not done based on what I care about. Great service across the board. Will be going back for any other service needs.

I'm extremely disappointed with my recent experience here. I previously had my vehicle inspected at…read morethis shop on December 20, and it passed inspection despite the same minor damage to the rear light being present. This crack has actually been there since October 2022 and has passed Virginia safety inspections multiple times since by a myriad of safety officers at different shops. Now I'm suddenly being told that the vehicle will not pass because of this crack, and I was quoted - nearly $500 to replace it which is way more than twice what I have found this repair can cost elsewhere. When I questioned why something that has repeatedly passed inspection is suddenly being rejected, I was told they have a new safety inspector. I understand that inspectors must follow Virginia's requirements, but that explanation raises concerns about this shops consistency. Customers should be able to expect the same inspection standards regardless of which employee happens to perform the inspection. What was especially concerning to me was the apparent lack of a consistent standard operating procedure. If one inspector repeatedly approves an existing condition and another rejects it, there should at least be a clear and consistent explanation for the difference. I have no issue repairing something that legitimately does not meet Virginia's safety requirements. My issue is the combination of inconsistent inspection practices and then immediately being quoted nearly $500 for the repair. Given the history of this light passing inspection and the amount being charged to replace it, the entire experience unfortunately felt like a money grab to me. This experience has seriously damaged my confidence in this business. I would recommend that anyone receiving a rejection here ask to be shown the exact reason for the failure and get a second opinion and outside repair quote before authorizing any work.

The long story follows, but the first thing I should say is GO HERE. According to lots of people…read moreI've spoken to since my experience, this location had years of poor management and maybe some bad business practices. That's not the case anymore. Go in, call, get an estimate, whatever. Just don't skip it because someone told you years ago they had a bad experience. I am confident that this shop has a bottom line, as any business does, but I'm more confident that their bottom line doesn't include screwing people over who may not know any better than what the mechanic tells them. Here's the longer story: Last week I woke up to a completely flat tire, put the spare on and decided I would just go to Merchant's on Lee Hwy in Arlington, as they had just put two tires on my car about 8 weeks ago, and while I definitely didn't want to repeat the experience (where I paid almost $800 for the two tires, it took about 7 hours, and I was treated like an idiot for needing tires... cars need tires, they need maintenance, because they are driven. They. Are. Cars.), I was in a bind as my job requires a whole lot of driving. For a multitude of reasons, primarily because there were no parking spaces and when I asked where I could park the response was an eye roll and a "uhhh I dunno, try the street". So off I went, heading to the dealership, decided to stop at the Exxon at Lee & Washington Blvd. for a bottle of water. Looked up as I was walking back to my car and saw the Midas, that's been there for years and years, yet I always forget it's there. On a whim I went in to get an estimate. First words weren't "oh you've got to replace them" it was "Well, we'll take a look and see. If it's a hole, then to patch the tire would be about $40, if it's more intensive than a simple patch it could be $60 or $70, or, because they're pretty close to needing replacement, you could put that money towards two new ones, which would cost significantly more" (I had planned to replace them in the near future anyway because when I had the two tires put on a couple months ago I knew the other two would need replacement soon.) Told him (the store manager, Charlie Brown) I wanted to go ahead and replace them. Estimate was about $300 cheaper than what Merchant's had charged, for the *identical* tires. He told me he would need to go get the second tire, and it might take a couple of hours, since I had the spare on already I could do whatever I needed to do, go home and nap, run errands, whatever, I should just avoid going over 45 mph on the spare tire. Went home, took a shower (I had a personal training session before going to Merchant's and then Midas- hence wanting to stop for a bottle of water!), less than an hour after I had left Midas, I got a call from Charlie saying that the tire they had was mounted and balanced and the second tire was there and whenever I wanted to come back the could get them on and I'd be on my way. I returned to the shop and there was a man with a trailer on his truck who was clearly having some real issues, and I heard Charlie on the phone to at least 3 different places asking if they could help with this particular trailer tow hitch situation, something about some piece being welded on and causing a problem they weren't equipped to deal with. Over and over again I heard him explain the situation and I think getting the same answer "so you need a tow truck?" which is apparently not what the owner of the trailer needed, yet each time Charlie patiently responded with something along the lines of "well, I was calling to see if you all did this type of work, no need for a tow truck, just this other thing" no matter he had already said it several times. It was striking. *I* was annoyed *for* him! Anyway, for better or worse, I tend to expect mechanics especially at larger chains, to take advantage of their customers, especially ones in dire need (like me! And this trailer owner!) and it was just really shocking and delightful to hear Charlie saying "we can't do this particular thing" instead of "well we can do this fix and it's going to cost a couple grand. you're out of options though it's not safe to drive this at all, you need to us to fix it for you immediately". HONESTY! It was a beautiful thing to witness. Anyway, about 30 minutes later I drove off with my new tires and a shop I would feel comfortable taking my car to for just about anything. A shop where I didn't feel like I had just been robbed, or misled, or manipulated in any way. As a 28 year old woman, that's been almost always been how I feel leaving any place related to cars. I look forward to returning for any of my maintenance needs, and I recommend everyone to give this place a chance. They'll change any preconceived notions you may have.

Overall OK experience. At first I felt they were upselling but then after some discussion I…read moreunderstood their pricing. The estimate was written a bit confusingly to sum up the two repair options so the total cost looked very high, but in fact the cost included both repair options. Matt did help me identify the correct dealer part # for the cat converter (my car is CARB-compliant), but I ended up taking the car elsewhere since I was in a big hurry and didn't have time to discuss the various repair options with Midas.
