I have been taking my Honda to Phil at Covenant Auto for over 20 years. Phil is always extremely professional, doing what needs to be done to keep my Honda going strong after 219,000 miles. Phil always treats me with kindness and respect, I wouldn't take my car to anyone else, I trust him to do the best for me and my Honda. read more

I had my ACURA RDX 50000 service done at Covenant Auto Service. The owner is very knowledgeable and performed a great job on my car.

I highly recommend Covenant Auto Service for servicing your car. Phil is professional and knowledgeable about needs you have. I have experienced many years of needed repairs with him. read more

My highest recommendation: Fair and competitive pricing, excellent service, courteous, top quality work! Phil Payne is the owner of Covenant Auto and began his Honda/Acura repair shop in the mid 1990's. At the time he was getting started, he drove through my neighborhood after normal business hours handing out flyers and discount coupons to anyone he saw driving a Honda. Since my wife and I both had Hondas and were on a limited budget, we decided to skip the inflated prices at the local Honda dealership and give Covenant Auto a try the first opportunity that arose where we needed service. Covenant Auto has turned out to be one of the best kept secrets in foreign car automotive repairs. Covenant uses only Honda/Acura brand parts and the owner is a certified Honda/ Acura technician. I believe Phil has since broadened his service abilities and works on other foreign makes as well. But call first to be sure. Since my wife and I are Honda/Acura owners for life, we will also be Covenant Auto customers for life. If you own a foreign car, you should be too. Covenant Auto gets my very highest recommendation! read more

Not long after Mr. Phil Payne opened his automotive repair facility, I took my 1991 Acura Integra in to have the muffler replaced. Three cars, and over 700,000 miles later I am still a Covenant Auto Service customer. Phil is an owner operator, and he is the only one that touches my car. Even with the Subaru dealership across the street, Phil will always work on my current car, a Subaru Outback. Over the years I have come to not only trust Phil, but he has become a close friend. His work ethic is based on his commitment to his faith, to treat others as he would be treated; this means getting the job done, quality workmanship, friendly, and a trusted person to take care of my vehicle and family's safety. Phil explains on the maintenance on the level of his customers. he has made maintenance recommendations and explain the why and how, to prevent future breakdowns that I have always taken. And I can honestly say, I have never had a vehicle failure on the road. So give Phil a call, whether a Honda, Acura, Subaru, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, Hyundai, Cadillac, he'd love to talk to you and help in anyway he can. Covenant Auto is the place to have all your automotive needs taken of. J read more

This place was great! My boyfriend and I dropped by on a Saturday on short notice. We were shopping for a used car and wanted to get one checked out that we were interested in before deciding whether to buy it. The owner was very friendly and agreed to examine the car (a Hyundai) on the spot. He did a great job of explaining everything about the car so that I could understand it. That might sound silly, except I've dealt with my share of mechanics who either talk over my head or speak such poor English that I can't understand them. Not the case here! The price at Covenant was very reasonable, and it seemed like the owner did a thorough job inspecting the car (he looked at it for a good 20-30 minutes, at least). I ended up deciding not to buy the car, because there was a lot of rust damage that wasn't obvious to someone like me who isn't experienced with cars. In summary, I would highly recommend Covenant to anyone looking for a mechanic. Friendly, fast, good communication, honest, and reasonable prices. read more

Phil is honest and great at what he does! Top notch service.

Phil is very nice and gives good prices. If you're in the Manassas area and have a Honda, I highly recommend going to Covenant Auto for service. read more

I had a headlight out on my Honda Accord, which I know is something that I probably could have handled on my own, but I was having a busy week and didn't want to deal with it. Phil was able to fix it the same day that I contacted him. He also came to my parking lot at work to pick up the car and brought it back in about an hour, so it was no inconvenience to me to get the work done. He charged a very reasonable price and I would recommend contacting him with your car troubles, big and small. read more

We visited this shop to have a tow hitch and reciever installed on our Ford F-150. Phil said he could install it and would charge us $575, estimating 2 1/2 hrs to complete the work. We returned 2 1/2 hrs later and found that Phil had only attached a ball hitch to the stock bumper of our truck. This is no more than a 15 minute job that we could have done ourselves. We clearly spoke with Phil about what we needed and it wasn't a ball hitch. Phil decided to charge us $200.00 for what he said was his "time". We were not happy that he used our truck to pick-up the "parts" which he said he could not pick up using his own car. He did not need to use our vehicle to pick up what ended up being just a ball hitch. We asked him about the ball hitch install and he became very defensive stating the truck already had a 5,000 towing capacity system and did not need a receiver. He mislead us and failed to communicate the intentions of his work. He should have consulted with us instead of taking it upon himself to think a ball hitch was enough. We ultimately went to Uhaul who installed the tow receiver for a fraction of what Phil quoted us and in less time. I highly recommend checking out Uhaul for all your towing needs! They are clear about their prices and work. We are giving this unethical business a 1 star rating because a 5 star rating is undeserving. read more

I don't usually write reviews but this place deserves it. Phil is the owner of Covenant Auto and he was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He exposed the lie that I got from another mechanic in Manassas where I was told I needed to fix something when this wasn't the case. He fixed only what needed to be fixed and nothing more. He explained why he does his services to me, a person who knows nothing about cars. His pricing is competitive and I trust that he will serve me right every time. I'm glad to have found his service through Yelp. read more

I am very particular about my vehicles and for this reason I started going to Covenant Auto Service. I was working close by and saw the sign for Honda specialty repair. Owning 2 Hondas in our family and more in the extended family, I stopped in. I do not take my cars to anyone else for repairs. Every time the owner, Phil, tells me everything is OK; it is. Every time he tells me something needs to be repaired; it does. 10 years ago, I changed one Honda out for a Dodge Dakota. Phil takes care of my truck also. Because of the top-notch service provided I have never had any major repairs needed on my Dodge or any of my Hondas (of which I have changed out several models; Civic, Pilot, Accord). Covenant also cares for my extended families cars. No complaints at all. The owner has even bought some of our older Hondas. 100% recommended! Best service, friendly ownership, clean work, best value. What more can you ask for from a car repair service company? read more

I have been a customer of Covenant Auto for 9 years and the service has been excellent! The owner, Phil, has been instrumental in keeping my 1995 Honda Accord running well over 400,000 miles. Phil has competently and cost effectively repaired everything from windshield wipers, brake lights, oil leaks, ignition switch, brake fluid leaks, coolant leaks, suspensions etc......! And if there is nothing wrong he will tell you and has let me go with no charge! I can't say enough. In my opinion this is one honest and competent place to do business. read more

Having a mechanic you can trust is VERY important, and Phil will definitely take good care of you! When my cars need maintenance/repairs, I choose Covenant first. read more

According to the website and the shop the hours are from Monday - Thursday: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and Friday: 9:00 am to 5:30 pm and Saturdays by appointment. I went on a monday to pickup the car because I told phil that I won't be able to pick it up on friday or saturday. I took a taxi to the shop thinking that it will be open since thats what is states on his website and his voicemail . Came to find out that the shop was closed. At first I thought that he might be on a lunch break so I waited and left a voicemail. 1 hour passed by and still no sign of phil. I called and left another voicemail and waited another hour and still no call back. This guy didn't even go to work today. I don't know what kind of business this guy is running. Seems like he doesn't care about it very much. I would suggest to go find a different place that actually cares about running their business and actually follow their shop hours. read more

Phil at Covenant Auto has been keeping my Hondas running since 1997! He's like a great doctor. Once you've been to him, you wouldn't trust your car with anyone else. The best thing is that when you go to Phil, you talk directly to Phil. No bureaucracy of service writers, service technicians, service managers, cashiers, etc. like they have a dealerships. When you go to Covenant Auto, you can talk directly to the person who will be working on your car, and that's Phil. When I sold my 95 Accord 3 years ago, I bought another Honda just so I could keep Phil as my mechanic. Phil is everything one could want in a car mechanic. He's honest, responsible; his invoices are so low sometimes I accuse him of not charging me enough. Once, when an inspection station was giving me some double-talk about my car not passing inspection unless I let them install some expensive part, I just left and told Phil. HE took the car right back himself and got it inspected because he said, "They weren't going to give him any double-talk about anything." He was RIGHT. It went right through inspection without needing any parts. He's just the best there is. I heartily recommend him to anyone with a Honda who wants an honest and experienced mechanic. read more
