I have been taking my vehicles to Jeff for Va. State Safety Inspection for over 5 years now. Before that I would go to where ever was open, with a short line. Being a mechanic myself, I've always known exactly what to expect from any inspection. The last place I took my car before arriving at Liberty Gas station was in Chantilly. This "shop" shall remain nameless, but suffice to say I was less than happy when the rip off artists there waltzed out to explain to me how my car had failed, and that for only six hundred and some odd dollars worth of work I KNEW I didn't need, they could have my car "safe for the road." I kindly paid the fee, and left with my fresh new rejection sticker.
Long story longer, I found Jeff's station and had him inspect my vehicle after telling him my story. He checked everything, including the "issues" the previous shop had said were the cause of my car failing their bs inspection. He came to same conclusion regarding them, and declared he knew about them, and that I wasn't the only person that had come to him after dealing with their dishonest shop. My car passed his inspection (as it should have initially), and I paid for my new state sticker and went on my way. I was really happy to have found Liberty Gas station, and an honest inspector that wasn't out to rip people off, for repairs that weren't needed. I KNEW my car didn't need those repairs, but I can't help but think about all the poor folks that other shop was taking advantage of.
And before leaving my review, I read the other reviews left by people here. And most concur with my own opinion. I did notice one 2 star review was left by a young lady who stated she felt "uncomfortable", while she was there. All I can say about that is this shop is by no means "state of the art." It is an old gas station. No "customer waiting area" to speak of (unless you count the wooden park style bench right out front). And I personally think everyone there is nice, but of course my opinion is subjective. All I can say to that young lady is "would you rather be lied to, and ripped off by smiling, super friendly people in a comfortable waiting room with free coffee and tv, or given an honest diagnosis on your vehicle, with a fair repair price by a good mechanic? Even if they don't go overboard trying to make you feel "all warm, fuzzy, and comfortable." I feel good every time I go there, and I like Jeff. They are all busy there, and for good reason. Their integrity is what matters, and Jeff has it all day long. And that's what makes ME "very comfortable", every time I need to go there. read more
