This review is for Hall's Corner Automotive, which is the auto-shop associated with the Sunoco Gas Station at 7320 Gambrill Rd in Springfield. Their number is (703) 569-2393 - it's different from the Sunoco gas station's number. You enter the auto shop by first entering the gas station market.
I've been meaning to write this review for awhile now. It's time I shared the details about one of the best kept secrets in Northern VA.
My family started bringing our cars to the mechanic team at Hall's Corner Automotive back when this was a Mobil Station, in the early 2000s. For about 20 years we have trusted the team there for everything from auto-inspections and oil changes to more substantial repairs. Corey, Rick, and the other mechanics are honest, trustworthy, and highly skilled. They aim to ensure your car is safe to drive and will communicate clearly with you about the state of your vehicle and what they find during their work. They are straight forward and operate with no frills. There are times it's a routine visit and my car is good to go; there are other times when they advise me that in the next 10,000 miles or so I'm going to want to consider getting a certain part checked; and there are times when they advise me to move forward with a repair immediately.
I brought my first car to them with my Mom when I was 16 and now I'm in my 30s living in DC, and I still drive back to Springfield to get my car serviced there because I trust they have my best interest in mind and will ensure I don't find myself stranded on the side of the road.
You need to understand that this is a small business that has been serving the community for a long time. This is not a Jiffy Lube or auto-dealer; they don't have a ton of people there to wait on you. The best practice is to call them at least a week in advance to see if they can take your car on a certain day. Explain that you're a new customer and what you need done, and see what they say. Show up when they tell you to show up (usually first thing in the morning), and be prepared to leave your car for the day, or however long they say they need it.
The peace of mind that comes with a mechanic you can trust is priceless. I can't recommend the team at Hall's Corner Automotive enough! read more
