I want my neighbors and anyone using this gas station to be aware of a scam I noticed this…read moreHalloween. I asked the storekeeper to charge my debit card for $40, but he quickly charged it for $150. Luckily, I received an SMS notification that the transaction was automatically declined. When I left and later checked, I saw that he had only charged $40 after realizing the larger amount didn't go through. This was the first time I experienced this, and I plan to avoid this business in the future. It's very unfortunate if someone is willing to cheat customers this way. I should also mention that seven years ago, the same thing happened to me at a CITGO store near Walmart on Richmond Highway. Please always ask for a receipt when using lower-security payment cards. Thanks.

This station looks like it's been a few wars. Then again today I once again realized, "time to see…read morehow far I want to go on "E"". Us guys are known for this game, and in Alexandria this is the best deal. It's not as cheap as other locales, but you're in old town/yuppie land after all. Very good value considering. It is fun to get in and out here. Traffic density and non drivers are part of the reality here. It's not a large property. They do have mechanics on duty. Relieved to no longer have the full sized truck, as getting in here would be challenging. Now driving a sedan good to go. These pumps aren't the modern ones with television shows, but they do what they are supposed to. If you're in this area consider going here. You'll find a decent value, as a lot of stations close by cost good amounts more to fuel up.

I see that this Exxon does not have the rating I think it should on Yelp. I would like to counter…read morethe overall rating with my personal experience as a patron for about a 1 1/2 years. As a broke young professional, I came to this Exxon 3 years ago after I had neglected my car's check engine light for over 8 months. Yes I know, it was stupid but with finances low I chose to put it off instead of dealing with it head first. I brought my car here solely because it was the closest service station to my apartment where I felt my car could MAYBE make it before breaking down (for the love of god my worst nightmare would be broken down in the middle of S. Washington during rush hour. What I didn't expect was the care and respect that the owner gave me. I've been shamed by mechanics before or looked down on as a naive young person. This owner was empathetic and took the time to be completely transparent. When I went home I researched the costs of labor and parts for the services he was going to provide to get my vehicle up and running again and I was honestly getting a very good deal. When I picked my car up the next day the owner then came out to give me the keys and told me that he had a daughter my age with the same car and he was going to make sure it would go for another 100k miles. I cannot tell you how much that made me feel better. Since then I have moved out of state. Since that visit I have only had to have my battery and tires replaced which for my vehicle is pretty average maintenance wise. What I can tell you is that I have made 25 500mi+ road trips this past year in the very same car that I took into this shop thinking I would be told it was a junk car. All I have to say is not only do I trust this establishment but I can easily recommend them to others due to their fair practices and general kindness to their customers.

They were incredibly kind, helped me immediately, and swapped out my damaged tire for the spare faster than I thought was possible--all at no charge. I don't know much about cars, so their patience and willingness to help really meant a lot. I'll definitely keep them in mind for any future car needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, fast, and friendly service. Thank you again!

I made a few calls earlier this morning to get prices for state inspections and emission tests…read more When I called here they told me it would cost $8 and they said there was no line. I came around 1 1/2 hours after the call and they pulled my car into the garage for service immediately. They said it would be about 30 minutes so I took a walk in the neighborhood and enjoyed the nice spring weather. I thought the man said it would be $8 for each test/inspection but no! It was $8 TOTAL and they even have a sign outside to advertise that deal too! I came back in 30 minutes and luckily I only needed an inspection so I actually only paid $3 today. I would recommend this place to everyone for these services because they are priced well and work very fast. I will be back in a few months for my $5 emissions test LOL

You can go to Midas for 40-50 bucks. After telling them that price seemed a little high, they tried to influence me to bring it in anyway, which I knew would put me in a situation where I had to uncomfortably negotiate or walk out and start over. I got service done here a while back as well and they were by far the most expensive choice. I unfortunately did not want to call another tow service to remove it from the location so I got the work done there.They tried charging me a $200 diagnostic fee. They said it's an hourly rate, but the mechanic who looked at my car slipped up and said he only "diagnosed" it within 15 minutes. They refunded me the fee after I explained to them my perspective which was nice, but the overall price of the service was much higher than other mechanics I got quotes from. Perks on the customer service quality, but genuinely if you're looking for the same level of service at a lower price, I'd recommend going elsewhere.

But beware, they are highly addictive. We dropped by this little shop as an alternative to Tatte's, where they use canola oil for everything and I'm allergic to it--it literally makes me gag before I can get a bite down. At Paris Baguette they told me they use canola oil only for frying, an olive oil for everything else. As an aside, Canola oil should be banned from human food. It is an industrial product meant for machinery. I'm eager to get back to Paris Baguette to try their other offerings. I hope they're super successful and expand to Old Town Alexandria where I live and like to hang out.

I will say that it can be quite crowded in the morning so I'd recommend coming early if you're hoping to snag a spot to sit. The cashiers were very nice as well!
