My family has gone to Clark's Automotive multiple times in the past 2 years. There weren't any issues prior. However, my mother took her Toyota Prius here recently due to a headlight being out. She was quoted $100 for her headlight to be fixed. They called her and told her due to the type of headlight it was actually going to cost $250. As they were doing work on the vehicle they saw the Ballast was broken. They called her and told her it was going to be $500. When she got to the shop to pick up her vehicle, the bill was $680. We were really shocked with how expensive it was. With some negotiating the price went down to $580. Once we paid and got to the vehicle there were multiple easily observable scratch marks on the paint near the headlight. Thankfully they ended up agreeing to fix the paint scratches. The prices for the parts seemed excessive compared to what you can find online. I would recommend bringing your own parts here. read more

Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Great people. Family owned and operated. Highly recommend. read more

First and last time I use them. I came in with what I thought was a starter and air suspension problem. They "fixed" both and my car is worse now. When I brought it back the front desk said to take a video so they know what the issue is. I was able to take the video and they said they will fix it. Three days later (after they already had my car a week of repairs), I called and they stated the car isn't stalling to start and they can't do anything. I've had to call to get updates on repairs the entire time. When I came in the office the front desk staff wouldn't acknowledge me or even look at me. read more

Haven't been here for many years. Made an appointment to have the heater core flushed as I had very little heat. I arrived at the appointment time and they took my truck right in. I explained the symptoms and they took it from there. 30 minutes later my truck was done. I have heat!!!!!!! The service price was very reasonable. They will be getting all my business from now on. Great customer service. read more

Clarks has always been great, they're honest, reliable, and they are fair on prices and have great customer service!

Clark's Automotive of Manassas is a family owned business. Who not only do a fabulous job, and not drain your bank account. They are very honest people. I can bring my car here for a service and have a peace of mind. I am very grateful for business places like Clark's Automotive read more

I've been 3 times, finally have to give a review. Ever get scared about mechanics ripping you off, or your mother? Giving you fake information? Well, Clark's Automotive is YOUR ANSWER to prayer! Not only are they 100% truthful, but if they will diagnose a problem that will actually NOT benefit them! Brought my car in, mechanic said it's only a vibration issue. Put it on lift, corrected vibration (4 minutes), gave me the car back and said "no charge". Instead of $1,200.00 MINIMUM job a questionable mechanic AND/OR dealer would have charged, Clark's was truthful! Know what that did? It earned my business for LIFE! (yes, on all 6 cars owned between my wife, me and my immediate family!). You CAN'T GO WRONG here. What a god-send! read more

Called because I had a spark plug threading issue and asked if they could do the work to either re-tap it or put a helicoil in (I'm not comfortable tapping threads on my engine block). He said they use "save a thread" because helicoil is too fragile. he said I should try that and that it's relatively easy. I hadn't heard of it, and thinking it was different than a helicoil or something I'm else I'm not familiar with, I googled it while thinking "what a helpful guy who didn't try to get me in the shop for something I could do on my own with something I surprisingly haven't heard of before (I'm relatively handy/capable). So I googled it and it's literally a helicoil. Google save a thread. It's a helicoil system. ‍ Moving on to another shop. read more

Super reliable, very good work, i recommend this shop to anybody looking for honest reliable trustworthy work!! Fantastic every time.

The level of integrity and respect from this auto repair facility is nothing short of amazing. Bob and Matt Clark really care about educating their customers on why work needs to be done to your vehicle and what your options are. I have been extremely satisfied with my relationship with them since my first visit in 2017. read more

This is a family-run business that consistently provides unbeatable technical service with truly reasonable rates. I've come to them multiple times over the years after receiving less-than-honest explanations from the dealership. Although I'm always expecting confirmation of the dealer's bad news, Clarks' valuable trouble-shooting has always resulted in time and money savings. Without fail, I can trust them to give me sound advice, knowing that they will not recommend unneeded repairs or parts. I have not found many establishments whose values carry across all their staff. Their unparalleled customer service is truly not the norm in this day and age. I feel thankful to have found such a dependable team to go to whenever my vehicles need help. read more

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Let me start by saying I am very likely the worst driver in Manassas. I've done things to my car I didn't even know was possible. That being said, I've gotten around quite a bit to various auto repair shops and not one place comes close to Clarks. The people that work there, from the front desk, to the mechanics, are all so friendly and helpful. I'm especially pleased with Stuart and the other young gentleman that works there. As a matter of fact my mom who also takes her car her, tries to request Stuart whenever she can (do they do that at auto repair shops?? Lol) They're VERY honest and really fair when it comes to pricing. It can get busy there, but that's obviously due to the overwhelming popularity of this place. read more

I took my 2017 VW Jetta to Clark's after reading some good reviews about this shop. My mistake. I explained the A/C was cooling, but that it would start blowing warm air after a while in traffic. It took them 3 days to look at it as they were busy. On the 4th day I was told it was ready. They explained the problem was that it was low on freon. They charged $150 to "recharge the system". I took it home, it seemed to be cooling fine, but the problem was not fixed: by the time I got home 30 minutes later after running a couple of errands, it was blowing warm air again. I called them, they told be to bring it back. One day later, I get another call: some little part (I can't remember what the guy called it) "was probably failing and that was an indication that the A/C compressor was about to go out". To fix the problem I needed to replace the compressor. It would cost roughly $750 to take care of that. I declined. When I picked up the car, to add insult to injury, I was charged an additional $75 for looking at it again. And now the A/C does not cool even for a while like before. It came out worse than it went in despite being charged $225 for not fixing it. If you want to blow at least $75 per visit until they eventually determine that the "engine is about to go out and you should replace it (or the car)", by all means take your car there. Otherwise, stay away. read more

I went to Clark's Automotive to get my safety inspection and everyone was very kind and willing to help me out. They explained things to me so I understood what I needed to get fixed to pass the inspection. I know some things about cars but When I've gone to other automotive shops they don't always explain things that I can always understand. I will definitely be bringing my Jeep for other issues I got. The hours at Clark's are convenient for people that work during the day. I want to thank you for everything you do. read more

Theyre the best in the city. Very professional, so kind and they always get the job done they're amazing. I recommend them to all my friends. read more

$90 to do a diagnosis. $90 to plug the code reader into the port below the driver's dash and look up the codes on Google. It takes 5 minutes to do that and yet they wanted to charge me a full hours' labor. Don't go here. They clearly take advantage. A joke of a business, unprofessional charlatans. Buy a reader on Amazon for $20 and look the codes up on Google yourself. read more

Very professional staff and knowledgeable mechanics. They have always been upfront with me about everything. They will recommend things and give you options on the best way to fix the issue. Keep up the great work! read more

Clark's Automotive is one of those rare places that will earn your businesses and exceed expectations. My repair was done right the first time, the price was more than fair, the work was done on time and EVERYONE who worked there was polite and courteous. As I waited in the front of the shop, every single employee who walked by looked me in the eye, said hello and gave me the impression they genuinely appreciated my business. This place gets my highest recommendation. Heck, I am going to go break something on my vehicle just so I can go back! :-) read more

This place is the real deal. One of the few honest old-school automotive shops left in the area. Family owned with pleasant staff. I have used them for years. Our vehicles are always ready on time. An honest assessment of the issue(s) minus the extra sales pitch for stuff I don't need. A brake job here was about $200.00 less then the local chain and dealership garages. Customer for life. Thank you read more

I've taken my vehicle here multiple times now; I've had them replace the drier & compressor for my a/c, and then the blower resistor, as well as install new tires, and dropped by to have a service light checked or strange noise checked out. I am always impressed by the honesty of the staff, the quality of work, and the fair pricing. These are hard things to find when looking for an auto repair shop, and I'm so grateful I was referred here! They are fantastic!! read more

They're SUPER honest! I love it. They don't pick your pockets for money trying to tack on unnecessary charges either. Their prices are reasonable and they do free diagnoses. Being that they're a family business and are dependent on repeat customers and HAPPY customers, they really take pride and care in their work and your pockets. If ANYthing should happen to my car, I'm taking it straight to Clark's no questions asked. I'm a newly gained loyal customer, and I've only been here twice. read more

Jack and his team are the best shop in Manassas. The only place to get your car worked on. Always fair and will only do what needs to be done. If you are buying a used car, bring it by and have his team look it over before you make an expensive mistake. read more

I've had my truck serviced here twice. First to unlock a stuck rear brake, and then a year later I had to have my brake lines replaced. They are great to deal with and very reasonable. I recommend this shop! read more

If u need a reliable mechanic shop in Manassas, here you go. Honest, awesome people that know their stuff. That is all.

I brought my car in for some minor service because Clark's was recommended to us by another auto service shop. TJ was able to help right away and provided us outstanding service and support and the folks at Clark's made us feel right at home while we waited. Great service! Needless to say the car came out great! Clark's is highly recommended! read more

We are in Manassas visiting our daughter and her family. My daughters car was having intermittent starting issues. Upon inspection of battery I found significant corrosion to the point of having the positive battery terminal almost completely breaking off the terminal. I called Clark's for an assessment. They answered the phone right away and provided me with a quote to replace battery and terminals. We brought the car over right away. After looking up the battery, they discovered they did not have it in stock and would have to order it. I needed the car fixed before the weekend so they offered an alternative that was in my best interest. They said if I wanted to go buy a battery at one of the many stores within a mile from their shop, they would be happy to install it for me. I did just that and delivered the battery to them. The next day we went to pick up the car and I could not believe the amazing job that was completed. The owners took me to the car to show me the work. They clearly took pride in their work and were happy to have met our needs. We couldn't be more impressed and plan to use Clark's for all our future automotive repair needs. read more

It doesn't get any better than Clark's. Great people to work with and always honest and fair pricing. They know their business. VA Tire and Auto quoted me over $1,000 of wear and tear repairs (serpentine belt, battery, rotors, pads). Took it to Clark's and came out waaaaay better. It was definitely worth the drive from Ashburn. read more

SINGLE LADIES TAKE NOTE!!! I am the single (auto-ignorant) female who goes into an auto repair shop at the mercy of all who work there. I have been ripped off and mislead (lied to) so many times I'd almost come to believe that's the price you pay for having repair work done. That changed when I started doing business at Clarks. I first learned about them when the company I work for began taking their vehicles to Clarks for service and inspections. I followed suit and began taking my 98 Honda Civic there for repairs and all that can go wrong with a car that old (but still runs like a lil champ, thanks to Clarks and the way Honda USED to build cars...). They've had so many opportunities to "take me for a ride" (pun intended) but they've always been straight with me and told me when I needed work and, more importantly, when I didn't. I wouldn't have known the difference, really. I would encourage those ladies (and men) who are clueless about cars to give Clarks a chance. The only drawback is that they are quite busy most days but they're busy for a good reason: small, family owned business, good work, good reputation and word of mouth spreads like fire these days. While I might have to wait a short while for a repair, at least I know they don't have to charge me $400.00 for windshield wipers to make up for the business they don't have. You'll be pleased with them. Give them a call, you'll be glad you did. read more

I am so pleased with Clark's. From the first phone call requesting a tow to their shop. Cheryl was very nice and the company they use for towing was amazing. My car was picked up withing 40 minutes. They called me to tell me what was wrong with my vehicle and TJ was very professional. Within two hours of getting the go ahead to repair my car, it was completed!!! It was unbelievable that it was done that quickly. I was referred by a friend and I will definitely use them again in the future. The price was very fair and nothing extra was pushed on me or even suggested. A nice change from the norm. The speed in which they had me back in my SUV was incredible. I called at 7:30 am, car was picked up by 8:25 and I was picking my car up by 3:30. read more

My family has been coming to Clarks for over a decade, and my dad jokes he should get a fleet discount! 5 drivers (and several cars) from my family have all used them and we refuse to go anywhere else.There's nothing like having a mechanic you can actually trust. I am now grown and go there on my own, I even used to drive home from Richmond whenever I needed my car serviced. Now that I live in the area again, I recommend them to anyone I can. My Grandmother was actually the person who discovered them through word of mouth almost 15 years ago, and we have been going ever since. Its a Mom & Pop type shop that truly has your best interest at heart. A auto shop like that is priceless! read more

My family has been going to Clark's for many years--with many different cars--and have come to know them as a reliable and thorough shop to get service from. Most recently, I had to get work done to pass a failed inspection. The original shop I went to in a different area quoted me a stifling amount--Clark's got the job done in less than 6 hours (same day) for $200 less. They're great to work with and we will continue to return to Jack for many years to come. read more

A long time family owned and operated business. Old school treatment here. Honest auto repair at very reasonable prices. Very welcoming environment. The customer comes first. I take all of my vehicles to the Clarks. You should too. read more

Honest, friendly, fair, and consistently excellent service--that's why I've been coming to Clark's for years.

I researched for a very long time to find a great automotive repair service in the area that cares about its customers while providing good value. I found Clark's in a leading local consumer advocate publication/online service which rated them very high. I have gone to them several times and so has my elderly mom and my wife. Clark's consistently honest and performed excellent work. I highly recommend them! read more

Go now!! THE most honest car repairs EVER!!! 3 times gone there after going to places closer to home, this time failed VA inspection for numerous items, was quoted $1,670+ from VA tire and auto, did work myself for roughly $300 and took to Jack @ Clark's and passed!!!! GO NOW!!!! read more

Love these guys had my Truck towed 20 miles to this shop from Fairfax because of the trust I have in them!!!

If I could give less than one star I would..I've always heard these guys were the ones to go to, but that was not my experience. I had to have the lower half front of my engine replaced and the timing belt changed. Big bucks. When I got it back the check oil light kept coming on and the engine sounded rough I took it back and paid more to get the check oil light sensor replaced. The problem continued. I figured I should have someone else look at it. The seal they had put in the engine or the timing belt was was put in badly and the sealant was in the engine clogging the line. tI cost some bucks for this guy to disassemble and clean it , but it did the trick. This guy also said the new seal Clarks put in the timing belt case was cockeyed and leaking oil. I will just have to deal with that until it's time to change the belt again. I've thought to go back and tell Clarks but just said screw it . I wouldn't recommend these guys to my worst enemy. Sorry - you don't know your stuff. read more
