Auto repair service near Mclean, VA

Farina's has the best, most ethical mechanics in Maryland, possibly in the world. As a woman who is clueless about car mechanics and often low on funds to pay for any car repairs, I used to fear having to bring my car in for repair. Then I lucked into finding Farina's. The first time I brought my car in, I said, "I fear the radiator's busted as my car is overheating, and I'm worried it's going to cost a lot to replace." When I came back the next day, he charged me $20, explaining that it was just a simple hose replacement and that the radiator itself did not need replacement. I was stunned by such efficiency and honesty when I wouldn't have known any different. I've been a loyal customer ever since, and just yesterday I was reminded again of how wonderful they are when they replaced my key FOB battery for free. Farina's has changed the way I think of auto repair shops, through years of excellent, professional, speedy, and reliable service. What's more, they've restored my faith in mankind. I would never dream of going anywhere else.

This place is the worse place ever. Not only do they not fix what they say but the white guy in the office is so rude. They work together with auto expo dealer to "fix" the cars that auto expo sells. But they just do temp fix. After you sign for the car the car seems to not work. They are assholes

Horrible!!!! Lied and atempted to steal my money. Tried to sell me a car for more than the asking price. We also agreeed to put down $4000 for a down payment when we tried to make the sale final, the computer screen showed something totally different than what we discussed. The sales man put down the selling price as $1000 more than he told us and he also put in that we only were giving a $3000 down payment so that he could pocket the extra $1000. Also I have excellent credit and he gave me a rate of 24.9%. They are liers an stealers and I don't recommend anyone go there. Needless to say I didn't purchase anything from them and I never will. I went to a different dealership and got 2.9% rate.

I hate dishonest people. Don't know anything about this guy's business, but he bought a used Mitsubishi HID ballast (for Honda/Mazda) from me on eBay and the merchandise was sent to him immediately as described and sold AS-IS. He then claimed to eBay that it the merchandise did not match the description and filed a dispute. Anybody who would lie to eBay to pull a scam like this is someone I would not want to do business with. I don't care about the $115 he is trying to screw me out of. Slamming him all over the internet will be well worth it.

great and fast service

Im honestly surprised that there arent more reviews for this gem! Rodney (the owner) was so kind, professional and helpful. I had gone to Pep Boys who told me I needed $600 dollars in work...after leaving International Auto I only paid $126 (including an oil change!!) They dont pressure you or use manipulative tactics to make unnecessary purchases. I will forever be a customer! Carloyn M. Alexandria VA

Branch Auto Electric Service has the worst service of any auto repair company we have ever used. We would not choose Branch Electric Auto Service. We took my daughter's car there and they kept it for approximately two months and it still was not operational. They told us that what would take other repair shops months to do, they could do it in a week. Chris the owner was clueless and a liar. He kept promising to have it fixed but every time we asked him about he gave us the same status. She had to pay for a car rental for an extra week because he took so long and could not complete the repair work. We decided to remove the car from them and tow it to the dealership because of his inability to fix it. When we went to retrieve the vehicle, they moved it to the dealership without our knowledge. When we went to the dealership to get the repair completed, the car was damaged to the tune of approximately $1600. He refuses to repair the car and said he is not responsible for theft or damage of cars in his care. Therefore, we are forced to sue him. DO NOT under any circumstances take your car to this facility. Please share with your Facebook friends.

Went there as a female and was totally taken advantage of. Engine light on given code told would take 2 days to pinpoint exactly what was wrong because Mercedes are set up that way. They had my car for one week, discussed everything, but Engine light kept displaying engine light. Discussion stating waiting for a different scanner for Mercedes car at the end of the week. $1000 dollars later (motor mounts and everything else) given a Mercedes only Rhine code (same code as if I'm stupid) and told had to go to a Mercedes dealership. AND THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO HAVE A BIG SIGN THAT SAYS HONESTY IS EVERYTHING. Just wanted my money even though they knew from the beginning they couldn't help me. ONLY GO THERE IF YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF.
