I love these guys. They are honest, they're good people, and when we've had hiccups with repairs --which happen, no matter how good the provider -- they have been honest, fixed it at no costs, and been very professional. And Chase, the co-owner, is very patient with me, as I don't really have a voice number--pretty much just FaceTime and iMessage, so I generally need a text message when they need to get in touch. Highly recommend these guys as fair and decent. read more

Counter woman isn't very nice, but the guys that run the shop seem very honest, quick, and straightforward.

I was quoted $90 when I called to inquire about an oil change on my car. I was asked and gave them the make and model and year of my car so they knew exactly what they were supposed to be working with when I got the quote. When I returned to pick up my vehicle and got the bill it ended up being $111. When I called the manager in to speak about it he just said "oh sorry I thought it was 5 liters but it ended up taking 6" and wouldn't even offer the original price or acknowledge that he should have called to let me know that it would be different since he did have my number. Don't go here! They bait and switch and scam you out of extra money. THIEVES! read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Whether it's a simple oil change, tires, brakes, or more complicated things like A/C repair or electrical work, Brad and his crew have always been quick, courteous and professional. I don't ever feel like I'm being upsold unnecessarily and I appreciate that they provide reliable turnaround time estimates and fair pricing. I always keep a business card of theirs on me in case a friend or neighbor needs a referral to a trustworthy shop. Keep up the excellent work fellas! Also love the festive spirit they show w their holiday decor! read more

See all

I can't say for auto repairs but today it took me 2 1/2 hours to get my car inspected. It's October 10 so it wasn't crowded, with only three cars ahead of me. Never going back. read more

Honest and trustworthy for service at a good value. Much appreciate the service and responsiveness.

First off props on their Christmas decorations! Looking forward to December. Thankful that the staff here hook it up. This gas station can be an adventure to, get in and out of due to its location. Extremely busy intersections. On a plus note this is where I get my vehicle inspected, and some basic maintenance. Have been pleased with turnaround times. There's not much of a convenience store here. They could improve on that. Also even in normal times, their gas prices tend to be on the high side. Right now they are surrounded by insane prices in all directions, thanks to a number of factors. If you're in the area this works, but I wouldn't go across miles to get here. It's friendly service station, and does what it is supposed to. read more

Quick and easy system they have going here for state inspections. Even in this laborious industry of work, these guys still brought forth great customer service skills. Highly recommend this auto mechanic shop. read more

As always, I was scrambling to find a shop that could squeeze me in for a state inspection before I got caught up. After failed attempts to reach my dealership, I decided to search on Yelp and find the next best option. Jermantown Shell had decent reviews so I gave them a call to see if I could schedule an appt. The gentleman I spoke with was kind and informed me that they did not do appts for state inspections just first come first serve, and that their days start at 8am. The following day I showed up at 8am and went in the store and asked the clerk what were the next steps to get my car serviced. She told me to pull around to the back to get in what I guess was the service line. After waiting for about 15 mins behind two cars and not being acknowledged, I called the store back to see if I could just leave my car. The same gentleman I spoke to the day before answered and told me I could, but first I would need to go in the store and fill out the paper work (which the clerk failed to mention in the first place). I left my car and about an hour later they called me to tell me it was ready for pickup. Overall it was a decent experience for someone who only goes to their dealership. They could have cleaned up the window where they applied the sticker (remnants of the old one), but for $20 I can't complain too much. read more

These guys are super honest and I always come back here for inspections and repair. I love the holiday decorations, the shop really care about people. read more

horrible. had an appointment for 8:30am to get brakes inspected. made the appointment with brad the day before. arrived early filled out the paperwork form on the counter (no one there!) & then waited 30 minutes until 8:45 still no one at service counter. then was told by the owner "chiko" -we're very busy! and we don't make appointments-- "we can't see you today. we tell everyone to come at 8:30 i've been here 50 years" didn't even offer to give me a courtesy ride home & leave my car. as a disabled veteran, never have i been treated with so much discourtesy. their website " we strive to keep you satisfied at jermantown shell" & "help identify problems with your car, and get them fixed right away." is completely false. rude & unprofessional. never again. read more

I called ahead to ask for an appointment for an oil change and they said it was first come first serve. So I showed up and the guy at the counter said "tomorrow?" and I said "no, I want an oil change today." He kept saying "45" but English was very broken and hard to understand. I said I could wait 45 minutes. We went out to my car and he pulled into the garage. I was very awkwardly standing in the parking lot and then eventually followed into the garage and he said "go inside." I did, and he came in and I had to ask for the paperwork or to be able write down my phone number so I could run errands while the shop did the oil change. I wrote my contact information and requested pickup timeslot. I ran my errands, never got a call. I came back 1 hour 45 minutes later and said I never got a call. The shop was closed but the gas station counter was still open. He was annoyed I took so long to come back. I assumed they were still working on my car because I never got a call. He handed me my receipt and I confirmed that was my phone number and that I had zero missed calls. Overall annoyed at customer service, wished they would have been up front about timing/paperwork/and closing time and been able to clearly communicate that, but they got the oil change done. Oh, and it cost $92! read more

Love this gas station. Great service and competitive prices. For being in Fairfax and right off 66 gas prices are pretty low and every time I need work done on my car I go here. They have great mechanics very knowledgeable and Brad is a very good service writer that can explain very well what the car needs done and doesn't and what's the best way to go about it. Highly recommended! read more

Brought my vehicle in for issues with steering and they recommended repairing shock absorbers and replacing some tires. The tires were worn and I agreed. After replacing the shock absorbers the steering did improve. Pricing was really fair for everything and they repaired it all same day. It's been months now and I am happy with the work. I would bring my vehicles here again for repair. I usually bring my vehicles here for inspection and that can take a bit of time but it's convenient and easy. read more

I had struggled to find a good service shop in each part of NOVA I've lived, but once I found this shop I stopped looking for closer shops and now consistently make the extra effort to come here no matter the distance. I know my time will be respected w updates on diagnostics & progress, the work on my car will be done correctly and cost efficiently the first time, and the manager Brad is very approachable and patient even with car amateurs like me and will communicate clearly and honestly about what needs to be done. Finding a reliable group of guys to handle my cars has been a huge relief and I regularly refer people here when they ask for recommendations. Also they decorate the station for holidays which may seem irrelevant to some but to me shows they have an appreciation for their customers and business, which stands out as going out of their way to be welcoming to the community they serve read more

I have visited this gas station for years. I take my trucks there for maintenance every year. Chase is a very straight forward person. He always let's you know exactly what you car needs are. Nothing else! Go see Chase from Shell in Fairfax for all of your vehicle needs. He also will let you know what the manufacturers won't tell you. Save you money and see him first! read more

The Jermantown Shell has been the go to Service Station for quite a while at least the 20 years while I have lived in Oakton and have been going there for service and maintenance. they always perform the service that is required and give advice on alternatives. I will say that this is the best Shell station I have found in all those years with great Service. Their owner and service manager, as well as workers are honest and straightforward, and they have quality people working on your vehicle. I also go there for inspections, and always greeted with a friendly face and quality inspector. I highly recommend them and thank them for all their support over the years. If you haven't tried them, I suggest you do. read more

Up front and fair pricing, exceptional quality of work done and outstanding customer care.

I really appreciated the convenience and service I received here. After a really scary (yet harmless) hydroplaning incident in this weird weather this past weekend, I was determined to plant my car in a service shop ASAP to get it ready for the winter. Chase was very understanding, listened to my concerns. He explained their 22 point inspection process as part of oil change and was clear about how much time it would take to complete the process. He kept in touch with me throughout the process over the phone, explained what his recommendations were, how much they would cost and what was critical to do vs not. I have my car back now and it drives great - they aligned wheels well (something the Hyundai folks always charged me for, but never really did right). Compared to the Hyundai showroom where I have always been going to, their labor charges here are very reasonable. They are open 24*7, those Chase leaves by around 5. His wife was also really sweet. I do recommend this place for anyone looking to get their car serviced/ fixed etc. read more

We've been taking our car for maintence and repairs for years. This month they charge 3.5% for using a credit cars. When noticed we went back within 24 hours with a check and they refused to reverse the charge and take the check. They never said they changed their fees. Most contracts have 3 days to refute - not Jermantown, not even hours! Totally disappointed. I have raved about their service but no more. read more

Do not get inspected here! No one wearing masks or gloves who got inside and touched our car. Didn't even wipe it down after. The cashier had one but kept taking it off to talk. That aside, there is no where to sit or even really stand comfortably while you wait in the shop/office. Kept having to move while people shopped. Also several employees and customers were smoking... at a gas station. read more

It's always tough to find a people that you can trust with car maintenance, given how most of car repairs today are not something you can do yourself. I had an issue with my 2011 VW where the catalytic converter light came on. I thought I was looking at having to replace the catalytic converter, which can cost upwards of $1200. I brought it in to the Jermantown Shell and Mike found out it was just the oil dipstick that was causing a vacuum problem thus prompting the exhaust system light to come on. Throughout the replacement process the folks at Jermantown were super helpful and I could tell that the price for the parts and labor was very fair. I know for myself that I found a place that I can trust with car maintenance. I would highly recommend Jermantown Shell!! read more

I can't speak highly enough about Jermanton. They are so kind, responsive, honest and helpful. I love that it's still a local family that runs it! It's so comforting to have a garage I can take my car to and know that I'm not going to be taken advantage of and that they KNOW what they are doing. read more

I went for a state safety inspection and emissions check. When I arrived, there was one car in the shop getting checked and another in front of me. The car in front of me apparently could not wait and drove off. When the car in the garage was backed out and drove off, I could not see where the technician went and wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. I saw another mechanic working on a car in an adjacent stall and politely asked him if I am supposed to drive my car in. He rudely asked me if I could read the sign that said where the wait line was and to just wait there. When the technician came back, he took my car in and completed the service checks. He was more polite than the other guy and got the job done. I will return next year despite the rude guy. read more

One of the most helping crew at this place. They are always ready to help and always smiling. Cleanest gas station and the most honest people. I have always had a positive experience at this location read more

I don't think anyone has a loyalty to a particular gas station, but for me, this Shell station comes pretty close. I have never seen a more clean gas station (this employee is cleaning the pumps). Also, at the pump next to me an employee is teaching an Asian Woman (very patiently) how to use the gas pumps. For holidays, they decorate the landscaping surrounding the station. I like seeing a business that takes pride in itself. read more

Jermantown Shell - Auto Repair Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Pulled over to get gas and realized we had a flat, we were offered help from the service center and were out in 20 minutes. Thank you, kind sir! read more

Jermantown Shell has truly impressed me with the customer service, prices, and their efficiency. I called to get a price estimate a day before I came in and I was immediately given the estimate over the phone. I was told that their shop is first come first serve so it would be best to come in first thing in the morning (8 am) to get the service I need done as soon as possible! I had to get an oil change, tire rotation, and get my brake fluids topped off. One of the best perks about this place is that with an oil change, they will top off your windshield wiper fluids, brake fluids, check your tire pressures, and check your filters. I came in at 8:30 and asked if they could be done with everything by 10/11 am and it was. Chase gave me a call to let me know that everything was done and also advised me that I needed some filters changed which I ended up doing. This place saved me almost $75 which I would have spent if I went to Honda. I am so thankful I found this shop and will be using them moving forward with all my maintenance work! Thank you :) read more

I always have a consistently great experience with this place. Superior and fast service with extremely nice technicians. Will always trust them with my vehicle and continue to reccomend them to others! read more

I could say that the value Jermantown Shell provided me was plugging my tire that was punctured flush by a screw last evening, but that wouldn't be the whole story. The real value they provided was restoring my day. I'm in a very busy time and when my tire was punctured, I dreaded the extra to do because, well, these things are never convenient. This a.m., I dropped off my kids at camp, hit Yelp to find a tire repair shop and found JS with a great rating just 1.5 miles from the camp dropoff. I rolled in and they immediately put Chase on the job. I was in and out in less than 30 mins and back on track for my previously scheduled challenges. Friendly folks too to go with a great customer experience. I'll be back to see them for my car inspection. Love great businesses. This one of them. read more

This will forever be my go to gas station. I had a flat tire a block away from this location and everyone on the Jermantown Shell team came and were eager to help! Thank you guys so much for saving me! And thank you Charles Beaulieu for the free tire! You guys are THE BEST!!!! read more

Jermantown Shell - Auto Repair Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I went in for a simple conventional oil change today. I had called the day before to get a pricing on a oil change and the person who picked up the phone said 34.95 with tax. Even their sign said 34.95 for a conventional oil change. Now when I dropped off my car this morning and picked up the car. They charged me 43.76.. I had asked why that was, the cashier said its sales tax. Then when I asked again because almost 8.81 in sales tax didn't make any sense for me. Then his answer changed to its 8.00 labor charge and that the people working there need to make their money. Being in small business myself I understand and respect that but just be upfront with your customers. Change the sign that says 34.95 to plus labor charge of 8.00. Or just one price that has 8.00 included. Only reason why I'm giving them 3 stars is bc they have good customer service majority of the time. read more

Jermantown Shell has been the place I take my car to get work done for the past eight years. I have never had a bad experience. The mechanics are honest and very clear about what needs to be done and how much the cost is BEFORE they do the work. The explanation of what needs to be done is super helpful, especially for someone who does not know cars (like me)! The pricing is fair and they always throw something in complimentary for loyal customers. Yesterday I dropped my car off for an oil change around 2:30pm. They drove me home, did the work, called me and picked me back up. I had my car back home with me by 5:30pm - and this was Fairfax traffic. I would never go anywhere else to get my car worked on in northern Virginia. read more

I definitely do not recommend this particular Shell gas station for auto repairs. Went there recently for a jump start on my vehicle that had not been driven for awhile. They quoted me an $800 repair job to replace the alternator. Turns out, all that was necessary was getting the battery recharged! Beware! Rip off! read more

Took my car to be inspected and they failed it for the "high beams switch." Didn't realize it was the combination turn signal brights handle until I made a turn to my street. It worked on my way there. If it were broken I would have fixed it when I just had to repair my emissions for inspection. They won't take responsibility or pay more any of the expensive repair. I won't be back for gas or inspections. read more

This is a perfectly acceptable place to get your state inspection done, and there's a chance I'll go back. It took forever, which isn't entirely on them (it's the end of the month), but when they finally got to my car, I asked them if I could leave my number and go somewhere else and they said yes, they'd call when my car was done. That call never came - we came back about 40 minutes later to find my car sitting in the lot, finished. It passed on the first try, and they didn't try to sell me any services, which was nice. There was no acknowledgement that they'd forgotten to call me, though. For 20$, it's not the end of the world, but it's also not the best customer service. Another minor thing - I've never been to a place that requires you to wait with your car until it's your turn, but this place does. So we spent almost an hour sitting in line, which was not great. Every other place I've done this just let you park the car in line, drop the keys, and go. read more

These guys are my saviors! I was freaking out because my car was making a weird rattling noise. Stopped by and they fixed the problem for me right away! No $1000 bills, no appointment and no hassle! If you're looking for reliable and trustworthy mechanics in the area, these are your guys. I usually just stick to oil changes and inspections here but now I know I can count on them for anything! read more

Very knowledgeable. Only gas station I trust to do work on my cars. They are a little far from me but worth the trip if I can't get a sooner appointment in my local area. read more

Moving to a new place and having to find EVERYTHING new is always scary and a headache; especially for your car maintenance! However, I was very pleased with the customer service upon my initial arrival. Everyone was friendly and answered the questions I had with the knowledge and respect, which is something I am big on with businesses. Although no one knew about Yelp's coupon, they still granted it to me which was awesome! Thanks Guys, I'll definitely be back for car maintenance again! read more

First time getting service at this location. They were courteous and honest from the initial phone call to keeping their word on my arrival for an appointment. The manager, Brad, was straightforward with a professional attitude and demeanor. My technician was Juan. Very cordial and excellent mechanic. He did not at all have any issue with me watching the vehicle oil change and tire rotation being performed. He made sure the car did not have any hidden issues underneath in terms of leaks, suspension, and brakes. I really like that they had an extra lift to use when its busy. It was not only less expensive than Jiffy Lube but they pretty much do the same level of service plus more. I will certainly be returning here again for my regular services. Thank you! read more
