      I got a oil change from there and they left the vale loose and it leaked all over my engine and other things causing my car to squeak when I drive, its just horrible. I went back from them to fix it and they tried to charge me $150 just to check my car not fix it they I would have to pay more money to get it fix ‍ that's just crazy. I asked around and people say they are known for messing up peoples cars just they come back the owner is some miserable lady and she is a scammer and a thief DO NOT GO THERE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR CAR MESSED UP!!!

      The insulting email response that I got!

      Very disappointed with the disrespect from internet manager or owner or whomever responded to my inquiry! I inquired about a 2018 Mercedes E43AMG with over 21K miles on it and asked if they would work with me on reducing the price since there are other cars with lower miles and a lower asking price. I even mentioned that I was willing to come the same day to do business including financing part of the purchase if we agree on a lower price! Guess what the response was?? Instead of offering some additional discount or whatever, but here's what I got as an answer from Uzair Malik! "Why are you inquiring about a car if it's way above your budget" !! Really!! Maybe you shouldn't be selling cars if you expect people to pay whatever $ number you put!!

      See all

      After 40 years and 47 vehicle purchases, I can confidently say that buying my 2026 Honda CR-V…read moreHybrid Sport Touring AWD from Sheehy Honda of Alexandria was the finest car-buying experience I've ever had. I spent 30 years as an investigator and inspector with OSHA and the EPA, conducting hundreds of inspections. That background has given me extremely high standards for honesty, quality, ethics, and customer service--and Sheehy Honda exceeded all of them. I visited more than 15 dealerships across multiple brands before coming here. From the moment I walked in, the difference was clear: genuine respect, professionalism, transparency, and zero pressure. The entire process felt customer-focused, not sales-driven. General Manager Kevin Reinhardt set the tone with deep product knowledge, thoughtful guidance, and sincere concern for my best interests. His leadership is clearly reflected in the culture of the dealership. Special recognition goes to: Ayesha Spivey (Sales) - exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough, and patient; delivered the vehicle in immaculate condition. Chuck Vanderwall (Sales Manager) - clear, honest explanations and customer-focused recommendations. Farid Qaderi (Business Manager) - efficient, calm, and transparent, even under tight time constraints. Rachel Higgins (Service Manager) - promptly and professionally resolved a tire issue just days after purchase. Sheehy Honda stands out for its honesty, no-pressure environment, meticulous vehicle preparation, and excellent post-sale support. Leadership from Managing Partner Sina Mohabat has clearly built a dealership rooted in ethics, integrity, and customer trust. After decades of disappointing dealership experiences, I've finally found one I trust completely. Sheehy Honda of Alexandria has earned my highest recommendation without reservation. -- Sounjay K. Gairola

      I would keeOn July 3, 2026, I went to Sheehy Honda to purchase a 2018 Honda Accord. After signing…read morethe paperwork, I was told the vehicle needed an air conditioning repair and that it would take approximately one week to complete. While I was disappointed, I understood and agreed to wait. The problems began almost immediately. After about a week, I had to call the dealership myself to see if the car was ready because no one contacted me. From that point on, I was repeatedly given the runaround. No one could tell me when the repair would be completed, and I never received proactive updates. Every conversation ended with someone saying they would call me back, but those calls rarely happened. I was always the one following up. My salesperson, Alex, was pleasant during the sales process, but once the vehicle was delayed, communication from the dealership as a whole completely fell apart. After days of unanswered questions and no clear timeline, I lost confidence in the dealership and decided to cancel the purchase. On July 13, 2026, I was informed that the transaction would be unwound. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. Weeks went by, and Capital One Auto Finance repeatedly informed me that they had not received the funds from the dealership to cancel my loan. I contacted the dealership numerous times asking for simple documentation, such as proof that the funds had been returned, a check number, tracking information, or any confirmation that the payment had been sent. Despite multiple requests, no one could provide it. I spoke with EJ, Roxy (Sales Manager), and later Farid (Manager). My calls frequently went to voicemail, messages were not returned, and I continued to receive promises that someone would follow up or email me. Those follow-ups often never happened. At one point, I was told they didn't have my email address on file, despite the fact that I had provided my contact information multiple times throughout this process. Because I couldn't get answers, I eventually had to: * Contact Capital One multiple times. * Email the General Manager. * File a consumer complaint. * Drive back to the dealership in person just to get information that should have been provided weeks earlier. When we returned to the dealership, Farid informed us that the original refund check had been sent to the wrong address and that a replacement check would be sent overnight. Only after making another trip to the dealership were we finally provided with a copy of the replacement check and the overnight FedEx tracking information. I also want to mention my experience in the finance office. During the signing process, there was a dog in the office that approached me while I was completing paperwork. While I understand service animals exist, it made the experience uncomfortable, especially since it was never discussed beforehand. Combined with the overall atmosphere and the pressure during the financing process, it added to what was already a stressful experience. I understand that repairs can take longer than expected and that mistakes happen. What I cannot understand is the lack of communication, the repeated failure to return phone calls, and the amount of effort it took on my part to obtain basic information about a financial transaction involving nearly $20,000. The only reason I'm not giving zero stars is because Farid ultimately helped us obtain the documentation we had been requesting for weeks. I hope the dealership improves its communication and follow-up because no customer should have to spend weeks chasing answers, filing complaints, and making multiple trips to a dealership just to resolve a transaction that the dealership had already agreed to cancel.

We were offered a loaner vehicle and told the car would be ready by Thursday. When I arrived to pick up the loaner before the stated cutoff time, the dealership couldn't find the paperwork and ultimately couldn't provide the vehicle. A manager apologized and promised a callback the next morning. The next day, David Sapo didn't contact us until midday, and when my husband spoke with him, he blamed us for the loaner issue despite us arriving during the timeframe we had been given. After that, getting updates was nearly impossible. Calls and texts went unanswered, and multiple employees repeatedly said, "David is not available." We eventually learned he wasn't even working the day our vehicle was supposedly being completed. When I returned to pick up my car, they once again couldn't find the paperwork. While the repair was completed, the lack of communication, poor follow-through, and disorganized service made the entire experience frustrating. I'll gladly drive the extra 10 minutes to Brown's Mazda in Fairfax next time.

Ahead of my most recent service appointment, I received an unsolicited text message offering a trade-in value above the Blue Book for my Sportage. Since my vehicle was in good condition and we were already considering an upgrade, I decided to explore it. Unfortunately, the sales process quickly became frustrating. I asked multiple times for a clear, written breakdown of the out-the-door price, but never received one. Instead, I was given vague, back-of-the-napkin math that raised serious concerns about whether fees were presented consistently and transparently. My impression was that the inflated trade-in offer may have been offset elsewhere in the deal, and the lack of clarity made it difficult to feel confident that I was being treated fairly. The overall approach also felt very high-pressure. After I initially walked away, I was contacted the next day with a revised offer that came in just slightly above the maximum price I had already stated. When I reengaged, any attempt to negotiate further was essentially shut down. I was then told signing would be quick, but I ended up waiting at the dealership for three hours and did not leave until an hour after closing. By the time the paperwork was finally ready, I was tired, frustrated, and just wanted the process to be over. I signed, in part, because I was told the documents would be sent digitally and that there was a 72-hour satisfaction guarantee. It has now been a week, and I still have not received the documents, even after requesting them again at the 36-hour mark. This was one of the most frustrating car-buying experiences I have had. I plan to continue using the service center, but I don't plan to work with the sales team again.

I even gave them good reviews in the past, but an incident early 2026 prompted me to forever stop going to this place. As I see here, there are many complaints about George, the person who takes the credit cards or is it, so to say, the "gatekeeper." His attitude has become increasingly condescending and rude, outright hostile. when I went there earlier this year to have my car washed, he informed me that my monthly subscription had run out because my card had expired. By accident, I had forgotten my wallet at home that day, so I couldn't give him a different card. When I told him that, he literally pitched a fit and started shouting and yelling and insulting me, so I asked him what else he wanted me to do? He did put me through. Later on same day, I called the owner, Raj, to talk to him about that, but he never returned my call. I texted him. And again he ignored that too.. At that point I decided I had finally had enough of putting up with the squalid customer service. This place has gotten increasingly worse since Raj automated everything. There is no cashier or attendant in the office. The place looks deserted it and I'm sorry to say I'm very disappointed in the way this company has turned out to be. I also concur with the comments regarding the damage to their vehicles. Four of my cars were damaged or dinged while going through the car wash at this place but every time I brought it to their attention, the owner Raj, whom I considered a friend, was taking it personal as if I was insulting him by pointing out that my car had been damaged because of his faulty equipment. Furthermore, every few months Raj creates a new package to charge more money and skimp out on the services. The rims are no longer cleaned. The seats are not cleaned as Raj claims they never clean seats! The interior door handles are not cleaned, the screen of the information center is not cleaned, and I was paying $69 a month for the Supreme package. I took my business to White Horse car wash on Richmond Highway and they do all of that for $54 a month for unlimited car washes.
