After hearing from several people that oil quality and filters used during standard oil changes…read morearen't always the best, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I bought high-quality full synthetic oil and a premium filter and started calling around to see if any shops would let me bring my own parts. Many places wouldn't allow it at all, and some that did still charged over $100 just for labor. That's where Manjit at Sunoco came in. I called a day ahead and was told to come in early--which worked perfectly. This was actually my second visit to this location (the first was for a tire puncture), and once again, the experience was great. Manjit and the team were friendly, professional, and efficient. The whole process took about 20 minutes, and I was able to get to work with time to spare. What stood out most was their willingness to accommodate and the level of service they provided. I'll definitely be coming back for future maintenance--and will check with them before heading to a dealership.

Brought my car there for state inspection. The new inspector there failed it because he said it…read moreshould have two rear dog lights (when it was made with only one). This caused me to go to Mercedes to have it checked where they confirm it should only have one rear fog light. He's also slow as molasses (I was the first car in line and was there for an hour) I had the car re-inspected at Mercedes and it passed. This used to be a great place but with this new inspector, I'll never be back. He needs to go back to school and learn more about cars.

Advice: have a dealership telling you that you need thousands in car fixes? Come here before you…read moresign off. Due to a Honda recall, I dropped my car off across the street at the Honda dealership. I received a call saying my timing belt was rotted, I had multiple oils leaks, water pump problems, and more! All totaling about $2,900. I promptly called Schmitz's on the recommendation of a coworker and explained the situation. Al assured me that I could bring it by when Honda was done and he would review the quote and give me an honest answer on what my car actually needed. Later that afternoon, I dropped my car off and went over the list with Al. He went out with me to take a look under the hood, kindly showing me that my car doesn't even have a timing belt! The serpentine belt and timing chain were clearly fine. I went back to work and got a call about an hour later with a recommendation on two things to fix now and a couple to keep an eye out on over the next two years. It was fixed by the end of the day. He could have taken Honda's quote and said yep that is all true and charged me just a little less. But instead Al took the time to show and explain, thoroughly "diagnose" my car, and handle it all in a couple of hours. By the way, it cost me less than $500. I will 100% be back when my car needs it.

I would not recommend anyone take their motor vehicle to this place. I was given a diagnostic that…read morebasically said my car was unfixable and that I should buy a new one. Took it elsewhere and it was easily fixed. Seemed they either wanted a quick buck from a diagnostic or were too incompetent to fix the vehicle themselves. Or just didn't want to help which is a shame because I could have used an honest straight forward auto shop in the area to help me out given the situation. Overall, I found Schmitz's auto to be a peculiar mix of dishonest, incompetent and lacking descent integrity.

There probably are Gulf stations elsewhere in Virginia, but this is the only one I can still think of. The old station wasn't pretty, but that added some charm to it.

I liked that even in a yuppie area, getting air was always free. The county and this area are changing fast.

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!
