Love this shop! One of the honest ones! They always take care of me and I appreciate! -Vicki Gowin

LT is the best BMW (or any German car) repair shop around. He also works on Japanese brands, but do now know about them. He is honest, friendly and thorough and his prices are MORE than REASONABLE. Think in terms of a fraction of what dealers charge. He used to have a shop in Manassas, but now works from home and mobile. He provides a written estimate prior to any repairs and sticks to it - no ticket shock when you pick up your vehicle. In short, LT under-promises and over-delivers while being most pleasant to deal with. If you love your BMW as I do, you have rocks in your head if you trust it to anyone else.

This is one of my favorite places in Lake Ridge. Today Adam helped prove why. He repaired my hopeless WHEELBARROW TIRE in less than 20 minutes! I am back in home yard business and Lake Ridge Auto has come through once again!!! Love this place!!! Mary N. Occoquan, VA

These guys are awesome. They don't try to sell you things you don't need. There shop rates are lower, and they take time to explain what does and what does not need repairs. I have been very pleased with their work, integrity, and their advice. They really have done a lot to demonstrate I can trust them to take good care of my cars, without recommending unnecessary repairs. They recently added emissions and safety inspections. They also sold me tires. I'm so grateful, because unlike Costco, they take care of anything that might impact tire wear. You'll be glad that you now have someone to call your mechanic.

I definitely recommend this shop for ladies who have no knowledge of cars and still looking for an honest and professional place that they can take their cars to for any repairs and maintenance service (without being dependent on their men!). Besides, the shop appearance says a lot about the shop owners. I wish them all the best in the future.

I have taken my 02 Passat to them a couple of times for repairs and have received good service both over the phone and in person. The repairs I had done were done professionally and I was always happy with the work. Most recently I had to have them remove the factory stereo so I could remove sub woofer wires, as I was trading it in, and Charlie came out and took care of it for me at no cost. I understand that with the right tools it is an easy task but he still came out and did it with a smile on his face. If I find myself with another VW or any of the German cars I will definitely take it back to them as needed.

When I took the van to the shop, I allowed the owner to talk me into having them rebuild the transmission vs installing an already rebuilt one that would have been cheaper. What swayed me was his comment they warranted their transmissions, but the remanufactured ones were good for 90 days. $3500 and 28000 miles later, the rebuilt one died. When questioned about the warranty, he proceeded to list a dozen reasons that would have voided the warranty..."but, bring it in and we'll look at it" was his last comment. So, if I bring it in, he can rebuild it again for another $3500 and give me another $28000 miles??? I don't think so. I've been burned once but won't be burned twice. I wouldn't go back to his shop if someone paid me to do so and would caution others to ster clear of the place. Needless to say, I am a very unhappy camper! I gave it a one star, only because the system would not permit me to post without entering something. I would have liked to give him zero stars.

Friendly staff who showed me what my BMW needed and clearly explained all the technical jargon. There price was 1/3 less than a well known chain. Highly recommend.

All Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care centers abide by Cottman's complete service philosophy, which calls for your vehicle to be repaired properly the first time, so that you don't have to lose either time or money. Cottman's Service Philosophy is the reason why millions of customers have trusted us to repair their vehicle's transmissions over the past five decades. You see, at Cottman, we know you have more important things to worry about than your car. Cottman will never compromise its standards just to make a vehicle "superficially drivable." We will never perform a low quality service that would result in increased costs, inconvenience, and possible hazardous driving conditions for our customers.

As far as my experience goes, the mechanic team there is the best. Phil has helped out my entire family and the array of issues our cars have had (Acura, Ford, Infiniti). I went in today to see him for the first time, asked for him by name, and he came right out and had me pull my car up to the bay. He then ran some scans based on the issues I told him and laid it all out for me, advised me on a starburst that I recently got on my windshield (and gave me a company he recommended), and a couple of other issues. I basically harassed him with all my questions/concerns and got straightforward, honest advice and it cost me NOTHING. He was a really big help, and one of the other mechanics even came over and gave some input. Did I mention this was at 4:00pm in the center of McLean? Busy time, and they were that helpful.

I can't say enough good things about J & F Motors. I became a customer in 2011 when the warranty on my 2004 BMW 545i ran out. I felt that I couldn't get good answers from BMW dealerships and every time I went in, I didn't feel comfortable with their answers and what I was paying for. From day one, J & F has exceeded my expectations with their level of customer service, taking the time to explain to me what has gone wrong, what needs to be repaired asap and what can wait. I am a fanatic when it comes to my car and they understand that. They are what an automotive repair shop should strive to model themselves after.

I have gone here for fuel, state inspections, tire repair, oil changes and have always been satisfied. Gus, the manager is friendly and will happily give you an estimate ahead of time for any work on your car. Eric Mckean

I can't say enough positive things about Ty Nguyen's Arlington Auto Shop. I lucked into it about eight years when I was again hit while parking on DC streets. Ty offers personal, reliable service with free estimates. Work is reasonably priced, done on time and is guaranteed. I have recommended his shop to several of my friends and they were equally pleased. My car is ten years old and looks new as Ty uses excellent products and does paint matching that restores my car to its original look. Try this shop once and you will be back.

As an alternative to dealer servicing and maintenance that is often impersonal, over-priced, and sometimes un-necessary, our goal is to provide professional, personalized, reasonable and fixed price (as opposed to an hourly charge) service and maintenance for your vehicle in a timely manner as if you were a member of our own family. By providing complete and accurate estimates for repairs and maintenance that are only performed with your approval we are able to return your vehicle to you in a timely manner and in safe and reliable operating condition.

We are a 40 year old family owned business specializing in the repair of European automobiles. In our efforts to provide a full-service facility our clean, fully equipped shop allows our ASE nationally certified technicians to provide expert servicing on your vehicle utilizing the latest in equipment and training. Over the years, as a result of the many requests from our customers to work on other makes and models of vehicles within their families, we have gained considerable expertise in the repair of Japanese and Domestic vehicles as well.
