Went in for a quick state inspection and was in and out very quickly. Everything went well, no issues with paying or with service, just smooth sailing. read more

The staff was very accommodating and professional. I was kept updated on all the details and the progress of my repairs. Thanks Marie Ellen for answering all my questions! read more

I went in w/ a laundry list of issues. Most of them relating to state inspection; and my AC was also not working. The fixed all that needed to be done for the state inspection and recommended that I go to Honda to see if I qualify for the extended warranty on my AC, since that's been a known issue. I appreciate that they gave me the heads up instead of just doing it, because they easily could've made more money off me. Will definitely bring my car back again. read more

Fair prices, good work, great advice! Very honest shop. Top 3 auto shops around in my opinion. read more

The shop is very good but the front desk manager is very arrorgant and rude. I use to take my cars there all the time before he was hired. Never again!!!! read more

They are comprehensive and honest. Also, they don't try to oversell you on unnecessary services.

My wife and I were searching for a honest and rep-reparable auto repair center that would be straight forward with the concerns we had with our 2015 Chrysler Town and Country. We thought our vehicle had a transmission issue but after the technician looked it over the next day we were advice of a separate issue that cost us more than half of what we thought it would cost. We were very happy that Lyons didn't try to gouge us with unneeded repairs, and the quoted price was firm. We are very happy with the new relationship that was forged. CG Thomas read more

Lyons Automotive Center is honest. Their work is excellent, and their prices are reasonable. They charged me less than the estimate for the work needed on my specially modified van, in order to pass this year's safety inspection. I moved to Dumfries from Arlington over a year ago and am grateful to a mechanic close to home that is as reliable as my mechanic service was in Arlington. My son is wheelchair-bound, so it is important to have a functioning vehicle for his transport. Thank you, Lyons Automotive! read more

Best place to have your car repaired that we have found in Woodbridge since we moved here 15 years ago. Honest, quick, fair priced, and excellent work. We had several things that were in dire need of being fixed. They made sure everything was done correctly so my daughter's car would be safe and ready to hit the road again. Matt (ask for Matt) worked with us on every aspect of of the inspection, quote, scheduling, obtaining parts, and verification that work was done to our satisfaction. They have all of our business from now on. Very Pleased. read more

Ted and his employees are great! He has been my entire family's mechanic for over 35 years. Honest, professional, and pricing is fair.

I've been bringing my Honda Accord to Lyons Automotive Center for the last three years. Their service is always excellent but what is more important to me is their integrity. Will continue to bring my vehicle back as well as refer others to them. Thank you! read more

We have been using Lyons Auto for about 20 years. We love this company! They are wonderful at repairing what needs to be repaired, and they do not charge for unnecessary work. We recommend Lyons to everyone we know! read more

I got multiple things done to include emissions and safety inspection. Allan was the main technician that helped me and got the car fixed in good working order. He also saved me about $800 by finding a more efficient way to do the job. This honesty and quality is very valuable when trying to find a place to take your car. Highly recommended and will use in the future! read more

I'm impressed! I turn my own wrenches but needed a quick fix for a busted tire sensor. The guys here were fast, honest and kind. I'm very impressed because I'm skeptical of mechanic shops. They restored my faith in the business. I will bring all my cars here as needed. That's for sure! You guys rock!!! read more

Excellent. Wonderful and honest service!We've been going there for more than 20 years and never have been dissatisfied.

It's difficult to find a mechanic that is honest and good, but these guys are definitely both. I took my SUV in and I had mis-diagnosed the problem myself but of course they figured out the real problem. It's a good thing too because if I had been right it would have been far more expensive. They also found another issue with the vehicle but said it wasn't necessary to fix it immediately as it was a minor problem. The very nice older gentleman who I dealt with explained I could just bring it back if I felt it necessary to fix the minor issue. Ultimately the man who I dealt with was very nice, honest, and the garage did a great job of taking care of my vehicle, all for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend these guys! read more

I don't live anywhere near here. I live in Philly. But on my way to see my parents , my tire light sensor came on. In the past this has meant 2 things, either my tire is this close to being flat or the universe is messing with me. Being 250 miles from home , I didn't want to take any chances so I stopped here. The guy at the desk informed me there were 3 people in front of me. I figured they had me by the #$lls so ok..... In less than a half hour , a man brings me outside to tell me he checked my tires and that it's a problem with the sensor. He also showed me how to reset it. Funny 2 weeks ago at the dealership where the car was leased , with the same issue, they did not offer this courtesy. It gets better, I go to follow him inside to pay, he tells me no charge & to have a nice day. Customer service like this rarely exists. I can't thank the employees here enough. They took a bad situation and turned it around. Pretty awesome. read more

I had taken my Nissan Rogue to the dealer who told me I needed new brakes (and wanted an exorbitant amount) to change the brakes. I took it to Lyons to get a second opinion and after a thorough inspection the technician said I had 3 to 4 months left on the brakes and that I they would do brakes and rotors for the price of what the dealer had quoted just for brakes. Honest and fair - Lyons! read more

I am woman....hear me roar.....Lyons Automotive Center is the best there is! I have had several unsavory business dealings with other car repair establishments that left me feeling untrusting and slimy. Lyons Auto Center remedied that with their good work and honesty. I will be taking both of our vehicles there from now on. I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed. read more

I tried Lyons based on the reviews I saw here on Yelp, and they're pretty accurate! I called in around 9AM to have my brakes and rotors changed, and to have a weird noise checked out. I brought my car in around 10AM, and they assured me it could be done by close of business that day, or they would call to let me know otherwise. They called me mid-day to give me an update and the price of all the parts and labor (including tax), before starting any work. (I absolutely HATE when a shop begins work before telling me the price and what they're doing.) They discovered and explained to me what the noise my car was making and where it came from. It was an error from the previous repair shop, and said because it was such a simple fix, that they'd fix it at no charge. That is AMAZING customer service, especially since they informed me before doing anything. My car was ready for pick-up at 5:00PM (when they closed on Tuesday), and I wasn't charged for any "extra" parts or labor. The price was reasonable - cheaper than many places that gave me an estimate for brake and rotor replacement. I will definitely be going back to them to future repairs and maintenance. read more

They truly deserve 5 stars. They allow you to bring in your own parts. They don't charge you extra to install parts that you bring in. Some shops DON'T accept parts that customers buy on their own, and other places charge extra for installing customer parts. This place will accept customer parts, but they don't offer a guarantee on it. which is fine. My alternator went bad. It drained my battery as well. My car was already dropped off at another shop *Midas, behind Olive Garden) that someone recomended. They tried to rip me off, nicely of course. I checked with AutoMD for a reasonable labor rate and parts then began calling around some other shops. Other shops tried to sweet talk me into coming in but Lyons was the only one who was straight forward, had great reviews, and met my requirements. read more

I went in today around 4:40 PM because my check tire pressure light was on. I initially went to the Sunoco place down the street and they didn't even check my tires (I went there previously last month when the light came on), saying "It's the cold weather" (It was 55 degrees when he checked) and "Bring it back because we can only check it cold, warm we can't check". After getting rejected without no service Lyons Automotive saw me immediately and I had a nail in my tire! I thank God they took the time to help me! Please stop by you won't be disappointed!! They are my go-to place from now on! read more

I'm normally pretty bad about following up with reviews, but had to make sure I gave Lyons Automotive Center the recognition that they deserve. On Tuesday I ran over a piece of glass on the interstate close to this exit. I pulled off onto the shoulder of the interstate to see and hear that my tire was quickly deflating. I slowly drove to the nearest exit and was so relieved to see an auto repair shop almost immediately off the exit. I went into Lyons and explained my situation. They were very friendly throughout the process and were able to (thankfully) patch my tire so I could be on my way. The service was quick, affordable, and done with a smile. I'm thankful for this business helping a stressed pregnant lady feel relieved and for taking such great care of my vehicle! read more

Great business. Been going here for since I taught his youngest daughter at FPHS. Honest, quick, finding a great mechanic in this area is hard but Ted is the exception. I now live 25 miles away but still come here. I tried a couple close to home but nick pickers and bs. Thanks Ted! read more

Good people! Helped me out when I was stranded with a broken exhaust pipe at 5 minutes before closing time on a Friday afternoon. Thanks, guys! read more

I trust these people over anyone especially dealerships. They are knowledgeable, honest and just down to earth great mechanics. I almost didn't want to post this as they get busy enough and all these 5-Star reviews may make it harder to get in, I'm kidding of course. If I ever move out of this area or even the state I will probably still bring my cars here. It's worth the peace of mind and knowing the job will get done right at a fair price read more

Lyons charged me for Goodyear tires with "Kevlar" but I discovered the tires they installed were a lower quality tire w/o kevlar.

FAIL!! OK. Ever finally meet one of those people that EVERYone loves and thinks is so cool, and you just don't get it because you personally find the person annoying and don't get what everyone is going on about? You sit there wondering if it's you or everyone else that's wrong. That's Lyon's to me. Maybe it's because I'm a transplant and there's some low level of local expectation. If Lyon's sets the high mark, I'm in trouble for mechanical work. Pros: Wouldn't say everyone was licking my boots, but very articulate and seemingly sharp staff. The operational side of the house was pretty decent on timing and calling, etc.. But ultimately, I don't care if you have snot running out of you nose and treat me like crap. My main objective is to get an accurate diagnosis (trustworthy), and a fair cost on the repair. Cons: Absolute misdiagnosis, ridiculous quote. I'll keep it short. I'm a shade tree mechanic, but I work in DC so don't have the time to work on old pickup, anymore. Truck was leaking gas. Not cool. Had visions of some dude flicking a cig butt and a trail of flames following behind me up 234 till it reached me a a red light and blew me up ;) Told them I had gas leaking and the general area around the tank. Their diagnosis? Tank has a leak. Replace gas tank, gas pump, and brackets connecting it all. $850-$900. No thanks. It's a beater, old pickup. That'll be $85. What? To tell me my darn gas tank is leaking?! AMAZING observation. What did that take you? 3 minutes to walk over to the truck and turn it on and see gas leaking? Please understand, I'm all for getting paid. But I don't think they took $85 of stinkin time to tell me what I already told them. So, I thought I'd take my chances and see if I could find the leak and JB weld it or whatever. Finally got around to it, this weekend. Turned the key, ran over to the general area is was leaking. Suprise, suprise, there's a pin hole leak in one of the rubber hose lines. Really? REALLY? All this time it was a simple hose leak. Listen, I know everyone makes mistakes, and maybe I'm the one in a million, but all I can say is if you're gonna grossly misdiagnose me and then charge me $85 for it, you're never going to get another dime from me, and I'm going to share my version of the story whenever folks ask me about my experience. Guess I'm back to spending my weekends getting greasy. read more

We've taken all our cars to Ted since we moved here 15 years ago. He has always done great work and given honest advice, even directing us elsewhere if he knew it would save us money on specialty work (window replacement, mufflers). When repairs were not worth the value of the car, he'd let us know. He has bought at least one car from us over the years and I trust him to do us right...with repairs or sales. read more

Lyons automotive is hands down the best in the area. Always honest, always reliable. Wouldn't ever go anywhere else

I came here a year ago and they tried multiple things but didnt fix my check engine light. I later got hurt and had knee surgery and havent been able to go back even til now.. read more

Lyons-is totally awesome! Last Year in June my daughters Camry broke down near Stafford on the way home to Woodbridge. I had the car towed to another shop in Stafford and they wanted an outrageous amount of money. My co-worker told me about Lyons. I called and talked to Ted who is the owner and he said he would look at it. Ted told me the honest truth, fixed the car and it didn't cost me anything what the other shop quoted me. I take all my cars to Lyon's be it an oil change, or tune-up. Ted and his crew are honest, nice and the prices are fair. read more

After watching the mechanics' slow slide downhill at the Exxon station near my house, I had a tow truck driver recommend trying out "Teddy" at Lyons. He said they've been around for years and have a great reputation. I've brought my vehicles to them about 8 times in the past 2 years for repairs and maintenance and have had nothing but good experiences. They've told me when I could save money going somewhere else (one was for body work and the other was to save a few bucks on tires). They're straight up guys and have recommended them to anyone I've talked to needing car repair. read more

This review is simple......Lyons Automotive is the best. We have been taking our vehicles to Ted for about 4 years now. He is honest and very reliable and stands behind his work 100%. It is hard to find a mechanic you can trust, and I am so glad we found Lyons! Thanks Ted for taking care of our cars! read more

Trustworthy , fair prices with quality work . They are great people who always quote the exact cost ( which is always lower than any other quote in town !). I have trusted them for all the service on our two vehicles ... no disappointment here ! read more

My husband loves to tinker with his cars but as his job responsibilities increased, his time decreased. He has been taking his car to Lyons for about three years now and has never complained. I have a SMARTcar and believe me the cost of maintenance at the Mercedes dealer is astronomical. I decided to check out the service at Lyons. I took the recommended maintenance list to them and they checked out everything. Some things they felt didn't need to be replaced. They were honest, reasonable, and timely and I am glad I found them. I would recommend them highly. read more

I have been to them twice, and they did a GREAT JOB each time. They recommended things that would need repairs or maintenance soon, but did not push. They seem like a very honest shop. I highly recommend them. I plan on going to them for all my repairs. read more

GREAT GOING!!! I have taken my vehicles to Lyon's Automotive for more than 15 years and I have can't say enough about how much I appreciate the honesty and integrity of this company. I know when I drop my car off for routine maintenance or a repair I can count on it being diagnosed properly, not being overpriced and ready to pick up when promised. A++++ read more

Lyons is an outstanding business. Extremely knowledgable and talented. Awesome prices. Committed to excellence.

Can't say enough good about this business. They are honest, thorough, and hands on. I have to drive a little further to get there but I am always a satisfied customer and they do their best even when (my old) vehicles need a lot of TLC. They also explain and research very well and give you the options and info you need to make the right decision for your money. Highly recommended. read more
