    Brought two new tires for installation. Ended up with nicks/scratches on rims and low air pressure on left rear tire. Took it back to address the issue. They remove the wheel, over pressurized (over max load) it and checked for leaks. They said it was fine and no leaks. After two days, low pressure on my left rear tire again... Tried calling, but no answer. Bottom Line: Shop is dirty (You'll see it) and the mechanics lacks expertise. Mechanics were dishonest, damaged my rims and covered it up by painting it. They couldn't do a simple tire removal and installation, can't imagine what they will do for other services... You're welcome, to those who read this review and staying away. I'm saving you from future troubles. Should've trusted my gut feeling to turn back when I arrived. Not sure how they have such an amazing review... paid services?

    Proof that I actually used the service.

    After repeated delays in returning my vehicle, my car was returned after two months with basic features like windows and door locks not working. Furthermore, multiple pieces of trim were missing or broken and I even found a liquor bottle in the console (I don't drink). My insurance company (Geico) investigated the issue and found out that MTR Auto Service did not replace the parts that they charged me with, and they even caused further damage to my car while attempting to fix it. Now the loss is over $10k. The owner of MTR Auto Service, Marvin, was combative and in denial when I brought up the issues. Multiple attorneys are willing to take the case since it is obvious that MTR deceived a client by pocketing money but not doing the work. I will also contact the state agencies responsible for regulating business practices.

    Marvin and his crew always come in clutch. Got the big 60k maintenance done which included all pads and rotors, brake fluid, diff fluid, serpentine belt, coolant drain and refill, and coolant hoses replace. Very very reasonable price, trustworthy and likeable mechanics. Always hard to find someone you can trust to do work on your car but look no further. Definitely recommended for small or big repairs.

There have been times that I have taken my car in to them swearing that work needs to be done (used to work on my cars a lot when I was in my teens) and they would check it out and tell me,"Nope, everything looks good." About a year ago my alternator started to go so I took it in and had them replace it. Pick it up a day or two later and go on about my business. About a week later some warmer weather hit and I noticed the A/C wasn't working. Called Tim up, and he assured me that even though he was really busy he would get to it. Sure enough, he checked it out and the A/C not working was due to a connection on the new alternator. He fixed it, no charge. I also had a wheel bearing replaced there back when I first got my car. They replaced it and it started acting up again 15 months later. Even though I was three months out of their "shop warranty" they still fixed it, free of charge. I have more stories like that about these guys so I won't keep going on. I won't go to another mechanic for 50 miles.

It turned out that one coil had shorted causing electrical issues and eventually we also recognized low compression on one bank, and that led to a diagnosis of timing belt slippage, bent valves and a replacement engine. Raoul found a used engine (50k miles) to save me money and when he put that in it had similar problems to the original engine. Raoul pulled that engine and got another. I received the truck yesterday and I am impressed, the company was fair about the pricing, taking my concerns into account, didn't try to nickel and dime me, and warranted his work and parts for a year. More than I expected for a used engine. It was expensive, but not what I imagined as the various problems continued to cascade. I used to do most of my own work, but engines are more sophisticated now and you need a garage that does good work, doesn't rip you off, and is personable. I found those characteristics in Commonwealth Garage. Thank you, Drew

I've been here four times now for different issues, and every single visit has been consistently excellent--fair pricing, quality work, and zero upselling.

If you want a shop that treats you right every time, Commonwealth Garage is the place. Highly recommend!

I left my previous mechanic because of this constant attempting to overcharge me. I was so happy when I found Merv's. I thought they did good work and were honest. I was wrong. I brought my car to Merv's for service. I provided my own materials. My bill should have been around $30-$40. I was shocked when I looked at my bill. It was more than double what it should have been. I asked why it was so much. Merv, who was sitting in the front office began to squirm and told me it was because a wheel balance and tire rotation was performed. I immediately asked if it had actually been performed. I did not request that to be done. Rather than correct the invoice, Merv asked me if I wanted a credit. Really? You overcharge a customer and then ask if they want a credit. I was told that I had already received a discount because I provided my own materials. So, to recap, buying my own parts and not allowing a shop to overcharge me for materials is considered a discount. That's interesting....what Merv calls a discount is called fraud under Virginia state law. Buyer beware. The attempted gouge was far more expensive to Merv than he imagined. You have been warned.
