Five Stars - The Absolute Best in the Business! If you are…read morelooking for an auto repair shop that actually cares about its customers and excels at what they do, look no further than The Car Doctor in Falls Church. Other auto repair shops seriously need to take note of how this place operates. They don't just see dollar signs when you walk through the door; they focus on building real relationships and providing honest, top-tier service. They have gone completely above and beyond to extend the life of our family's vehicles, keeping three very different cars running beautifully: * My truck (2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali) * My wife's car (2013 Chevy Equinox) * Our daughter's car (2016 Toyota Corolla) Finding a mechanic you can trust implicitly is rare, but the team at The Car Doctor has earned our loyalty completely. They treat your vehicles like their own and never try to push unnecessary repairs. Truly a gem in the community--highly, highly recommended!

I took my 2006 Toyota Tundra to The Car Doctor for a diagnostic and maintenance inspection, and I…read morewas extremely impressed with the level of service. They provided a detailed, easy-to-understand report showing what needed immediate attention and what items may need to be addressed down the road. What really stood out was their honesty. They never tried to upsell me or pressure me into repairs that weren't necessary. Instead, they took the time to explain everything, prioritize the repairs, and let me make an informed decision. It's refreshing to find a shop that's focused on helping customers rather than selling unnecessary work. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and professional mechanic, I highly recommend The Car Doctor for all your vehicle needs. I'll definitely be bringing my other vehicles here for future maintenance and repairs!

They left a light bulb on the floor from their prior vehicle which I drove over when I was guided into the bay by their worker, smashing it under my left front tire. After he scolded the worker for leaving it on the floor, I questioned the safety of my tire. I was told it the bulb was plastic and for me not to worry about it. Then the high pressure salesman came at me to add the suggested transmission fluid change for $200+ (down to $180'ish with his discount code). I told him no, the dealer cost for the Honda 25k service was $225 and included the oil change, transmission fluid change and tire rotation. He told me multiple times that I was wrong, telling me I must have misunderstood the dealer. I found that to be VERY disrespectful to me as a woman. I was at the Honda dealer and received a written quote. I know it was right bc I had the convo with them personally. I have used Valvoline for years on multiple vehicles in two states. I'm new to Alexandria however after this treatment l, I will NOT be returning to Duke street or maybe even to Valvoline for that matter. Very poor customer shaming, hard sell techniques and safety compliance. Get your oil changed somewhere else.

Upon arrival, I was welcomed and after filling out the intake form, my vehicle was brought into the garage for service. The lobby is very nice! There's comfortable seating, air purifiers, a coffee maker with assorted options, tv, relaxing music, and gorgeous live plants. As I waited, there was a steady flow of new and repeat customers. It was a great vibe. K&B's pricing is transparent and fair. They ran a complete diagnostic and I agreed with their honest recommendations. I am very happy I found this place!

I really can't say enough about how amazing Ben Nielsen and his entire team over at skyline have…read morebeen to me and to my family. My Audi Q7 broke down last week and was inoperable for six days. Ben took my call and kept me calm and focused while we tried to figure out what exactly was going on with my suv. After a few minutes on the phone we thought it was best to have it towed to the nearest shop a few miles away (by the way, this was an evening/after hours call). Ben helped get me a tow and offered to send me a car to be driven home. I opted to walk down the street to a local restaurant to take advantage of my stranded situation (that's an entirely different story). Back to my review. The next morning the Nielsen team helped me understand what was going on with my suv, the options available to me, and provided a detailed break down of the costs associated with the five years of neglect and work needed to be sone to my suv. The number was a big number but there is a cost associated with having skilled technicians on staff to do the work and do it right. I was ok with this and they were kind enough to work with me on the price. Through the entire process, Ben and his team kept me in the loop at all stages of the service, until my car suv was ready for pick up. I recommend anyone looking for a hard-working, honest team to service your car or SUV to look no further than Ben Nielsen at any of his locations. My wife and I often use one of their locations in Alexandria on Colvin street because it's closer to home, but when my Audi broke down, skyline became the best option. There's no financial incentive for me to give this review only the gratitude, gratefulness, and my overall desire to thank the team for what they did. Thank you Ben and the Skyline team!

Sometimes the work is fine and sometimes its not. Too often I drive out with a new problem that I did not have before. A year ago this happened with the Steering Gear Box, which started making a grinding noise as soon as I left the lot. I had to bring it back and pay for a new one. Today, I brought it in for a few minor issues and an inspection and oil change. I also asked them to look at the rear end because I was sometimes experiencing a light "clunk" when I would drive over bumps. They told me the rear differential was making that noise. It seemed odd to me that the rear differential would be the cause. So I told them it was not a big enough issue at the moment to justify $3,000 for a new rear differential. I drove it home and - voila - the rear differential is now making a grinding noise (it was not before). The clunk is still there, but that is not on them. I am not going back because I never know if I am going to drive out with more problems than I came in with.

I've always been treated well, and while the pricing isn't the cheapest, I don't think it is unreasonable for the neighborhood they are in, and the brands they service. I have been comfortable knowing that there aren't shenanigans going on here. I like the inspection report that lists all major areas of my cars and if there is a recommended action. I also like that when I speak to Lucas, he ballparks when I need things done in case I want to spread out preventative maintenance. I've since left the region, but I do still visit a few times a year, and work in my service visits while I'm in town. That's probably the biggest endorsement I can give.

I stopped in to ask if they could repair a tube running from the Cat to the air pump and was told, "I'm not going to touch it." I was stunned "Why?" "You drive that Crown Vic." "Yes" "Parts break on those old cars. It is not worth my time," said the service manager. "But you've done work on it before?" "I'm just not going to touch it. You can get the school to do work on it if you want, but I'm not going to touch it" And there it was. The fact that I work at a school where I can get our Auto Tech to work on minor issues for free had obviously upset the service manager. He had blackballed my beloved Roadbeast simply because it older than 25 years of roadworthy glory. I quickly called another shop and explained my situation, asking if my car was too old.
