Excellent service! Wonderful attention to detail. So thankful for George, Mo, and Gabe, who took good care of our concerns.

Had a great experience with them job well done.. Will be back as needed.. Great customer service...

Mo is a great guy and always offers solid advice and excellent service. I really like how they break everything down for you, take pictures, show details of their work and really paint an amazing picture of exactly what they're doing. I brought my car in on the back of a tow truck out of nowhere in January of 2025, and it needed a starter. Mo was able to get me in and fix my car completely, same day, for a very reasonable cost. Thank you, Mo, for always being a real one. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up. read more

Brought my car in with a check engine light that was not allowing emissions to pass. Mo reassured me and my anxiety! Needed timing chain done- they completed the job and emissions. Kept me updated on the progress everyday! Compared pricing to another shop and it was comparable. They did a great job and would bring my car back! read more

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's endlessly researched and even cycled through auto shops. I had an incredible experience at Exline Automotive. I needed my exhaust checked and a friend recommended this place. With low expectations, I called to inquire. I was met with a lovely individual named Liz who was very kind and warm. They patiently listened to me about the concerns with my car. Liz explained their process of scheduling, inspecting my vehicle, and potential repairs with related cost. It felt very transparent and reasonable, which I really appreciated. Liz was able to schedule me for the next day. Upon my arrival, I was greeted with a warm welcome and told updates about my repair would be communicated via text (see photo). They also offered a comfortable waiting room, with complimentary WiFi and an assortment of beverages. The team at Exline was able to quickly identify the issue with my exhaust, get the right part delivered within 30 minutes, and complete the repair all in under 90 minutes. I was impressed with Exline's customer service, efficiency, and quality of work. I highly recommend this shop and will return for any other car needs of mine. read more

Exline Automotive - Text exchange with Exline Automotive during my car appointment (time stamp included) - Auto Repair Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Exline staff are the most honest around. The staff always put customer service first - no upselling, honest evaluations, great service. Their Rewards portal gives you discounts on returning visits which is nice. I brought my car in for safety and for emissions (had an appointment). I waited in their spacious waiting area which has WiFi and refreshments and TV. One wheel was missing a lug nut and instead of upselling, George advised me on simply adding a lug nut rather than buying a whole new lock set. George also helped another customer with the best solution that would take care of the car issue without upselling. I've previously gone to another car dealer and all they do is upsell and quote hundreds of dollars of "needed repair". Exline has earned my business! From 2023: The manager Mo is kind and honest. They did my safety inspection, carefully gave me quotes for recommended work at very reasonable prices, and was very honest about the work I needed. Mo gave me a detailed invoice and didn't make up any additional work I did not need (unlike some other companies). Thank you, Mo!! read more

I'm so lucky to have been recommended this auto shop, super honest and fair prices. Always fast and quality work. I had a few lights come up in my car and they were able to figure out the problem and fix it timely while other shops were trying to upsell me in problems I didn't even have. Thank you guys!! read more

This place wants over $2500 in labor to replace two cats and two o2 sensors on a truck where none of those parts are hard to access. You can replace an entire truck exhaust system for $600 in labor. These guys are crooks and they are ripping people off. DO NOT GO HERE!!! read more

Never service your car at this place. They took 2 hours for a 20 min job. And plus they are cheaters read more

Always an easy drop-off, great repairs and convenient with the staff being very kind and helpful, they also provide a shuttle service which is sooo nice when you only have one car. Highly recommend! read more

Their waiting room was so clean! They even had a little store to peruse! I will be a returning customer, and I will tell all of my friends. They told me 15 minutes for my Emissions--and they did it in 15! WOW! The gentleman at the computer was quick, effective, and so kind--especially after the day I had. I needed that little bit of humanity--thank you. Tip: Call ahead and make an appointment-mine was the same day I called, which avoided wait times. Also, warning, the parking lot is a tight squeeze and the sign is hidden behind some trees on Fullerton, but Exline is RIGHT beside Bingo Tires, and you can see the McDonalds to your left, if you are coming out from Exline. read more

I had been taking my car to Exline automotive for several years without issue. Liz in particular was very conscientious and attentive whenever I interacted with her about scheduling or servie-related questions. Then I experienced an absolute nightmare scenario back in January of 2023. While traveling across country relocating to a new job, the A.T. oil temp light kept flashing on and off. I followed the guidelines in the manual and pulled off to the side of the road until the warning indicator went away. About the 6th time this happened in 300 miles, the car violently seized and downshifted at 80 mph somewhere in the middle of Tennessee. I had the car towed to a local mechanic who specializes in Subarus. After closely inspecting the car, it was this mechanic's opinion that whoever serviced the vehicle last (Exline) drained my gear box fluid thinking it was the transmission fluid. They then filled my transmission fluid thinking that fluid was drained and therefore overfilled the transmission. With nowhere to expand when this fluid heated, the fluid could no longer absorb heat and it cooked. The result is that I had to pay this mechanic ~$5000 to replace the transmission. I had to pay for a tow across country which was another $1200. I also incurred another $1000 in hotel expenses. I had always seen very young mechanics working for Exline when I would take my car in. I never thought it would cost me thousands. What was Exline's response? They tried to claim that my vehicle transmission "was probably already on its way out" and that the other mechanic who has over 20 years of experience "didn't know what he was talking about." This is obviously absurd, insulting, and infuriating. The only thing George from Exline agreed to pay was $500, which was the cost of a transmission flush. Do not take your vehicle here. I wouldn't want to wish what happened to me on anyone. And the response from Exline tells you all you need to know: they will screw you over and won't stand by their work. I will be posting this review to as many review sites as I can to expose this company. read more

I went here to just get tires rotated. I got tired of having to go to Toyota for every little thing plus the cost factor. exline is closer to my house and they fit me in no problem. The parking lot can be confusing to navigate if the lot is full but they offered very speedy service- I'd say 1/3 of the time that Toyota has ever taken. So I look forward to going there when other issues or maintenance is needed on the car. Also friendly front desk and comfortable waiting area. read more

Please do not take your vehicle to be serviced here!!! I informed the technician that my key fob wasn't working from a far distance; the "technician" sent me a video of him standing right next to the car clicking the key fob and stating that he "found no issue" and I was charged close to 500$ for that "service" alone. Then they stated that they changed my transmission fluid and "updated my tcm". It's no signs or proof that that has even been done. after I was forced to pay close to 2,000$, I was forced into a "after hours pickup" where they left the key in my vehicle and my vehicle unsecured. Once I got my vehicle I had no body to speak to, that'll insure me that my vehicle had actually been serviced. -------------- Hello George H, Since I can't respond to your comment, I'll respond to this. I was NOT made aware of the diagnostic charges up front for the "services", but hours after my vehicle had already been dropped off (close to closing). I was able to talk them down from $531.96 to charging me $265 for the diagnostic even though not one issue was found, with ANYTHING that I requested. You stated that my transmission was "abused" on yelp, but the " technician" did not state that to me, the shop only alleged that they changed the transmission fluid. The previous invoice was $1,430.34(almost 2000$), before I talked them down because they didn't find any issues with my vehicle. also you stated that "we were not able to stay open late enough to cater to my available hours.", when the "technician" told me my vehicle was ready it was less than 10 minutes before the "shop" closed, and I believe it was done purposely. read more

I have taken my SUV here for several years now. Great service and honest people who get the job done right. They don't push extra work and tell you what's necessary. read more

When trusting you car to a mechanic, it's about getting it right and knowing you're not being taken advantage of. There's a reason we have taken all of our cars to Exline for 20 years (and a reason I kick myself every time I try a shop that's a little closer to me!). Exline is professional, courteous, responsive, ethical -- and they do the job RIGHT. Thanks as always. read more

High mileage Diesel Van that worked all its life so far, was towed in with the menu of problems as scheduled maintenance was discontinued and it was sold off. Finally made it to Exline and Patrick and George managed to give us a path to keeping "Beast" running. This is a well run and honest shop. Time is charged for any services or estimates that require labor, and that is only fair. You cannot align a car with bad wheels or bearings, now can you? Waste of time and alignment. Loose tension pulley stretches the belts, etc. If a repair is done and a problem returns or still exists take the vehicle back and talk over a solution. You drive it all the time and know the sounds and vibrations and "ticks" but there is no way for a tech and or the mechanic to be as familiar as you are with YOUR vehicle. Remember the more you can clearly communicate to the shop the better the results. And always ask the cost of diagnostic work involved to get an estimate, currently even a SCAN is not as simple or quick as 5 years ago and the equipment to scan is a computer - Say no more. read more

My Subaru sedan needed a head gasket repair and got much needed TLC at Exline. Mo was very thorough explaining what was needed and patiently answered all my questions. Due to the extensive repairs taking a few weeks, regular updates were provided and much appreciated. I never felt left in the dark and the work done was stellar. The staff at Exline are courteous and trustworthy. She lives to see another day! read more

Went with a 3" lift, new rims (the ripper) and tires (the gripper 285/70/17's) both from fueloffroad. George and his crew know what they are doing! George will work with you and give recommendations to make sure what you want will actually work for your vehicle. Communication with him and Liz via phone or email were prompt and professional! Couldn't be more happier with the results, will definitely be back for more upgrades and cool stuff!!! read more

I took my truck to the shop for an oil change, All the staff seem nice, The shop was clean, Pricing was fair. Most importantly They did a vehicle inspection And sound at the front left wheel was loose. I am very happy they caught this before it causes damage or an accident read more

I discovered Exline Automotive several years ago doing a Google search and I'm definitely glad I did. Liz who is the Service Manager is very helpful, knowledgeable and professional and makes sure your vehicle needs are met. There are many shops in the Virginia, Maryland and DC area and I strongly believe Exline Automotive is one of the best if not the best Automotive Service Shop. There's no need to go to the dealership with their excessively high prices when an individual can get their vehicle needs met at a fair price at Exline Automotive. read more

Such a great mechanic. They are super efficient and trustworthy! They inspected my whole vehicle and ranked items that needed to be completed and time frames. This place is so great! read more

Brought my 2012 jeep wrangler because of the infamous death wobble. Gabe provide a concise review of what is causing the problem. Then recommended that fit the usage of my jeep. He did not go straight to the most expensive products. He even patiently went throught all the available brands available to show me my options. I will definitely be back for more upgrades, repairs, or regular services. Best of all, liz is so friendly and helpful. Be sure to say hi to her! read more

Top notch customer service, top notch work. George goes above and beyond for his customers. Highly recommend them!!!

Top-notch mechanic shop! I first went to them when I needed my transmission replaced for my Jeep. I kept going back to them for oil changes, tire rotations and other services! They don't disappoint! Liz has great customer service and doesn't try to make you get services that you don't need! A trustworthy business! They also provide military discounts! read more

This place has easily provided the best service that I've ever gotten from an auto shop. First thing I noticed is that when I called in to make an appointment, Liz who works the phone and front desk, was super friendly. I would later find out she's not just a desk person. She's the owner's wife and she knows her cars too so you can count on someone really listening to you when you tell them you problem. After getting there, the first thing the owner (George) did was take me back into the garage where my car was already on a lift, showed me exactly what the problem with my car was, and told me in detail how he planned to fix it and how much he thought it'd cost. The previous owner of my car hadn't installed the exhaust properly. George did a great job of essentially redoing it and making it rock solid. It's things like this that give you confidence that they know what they're doing and actually want you to be happy when you leave. They took my appointment kind of last minute (called in the morning, got an appointment for that afternoon) so I just waited it out after I got there. There's a nice leather sofa, DirecTV, free wi-fi, and a water cooler so waiting wasn't a big deal. Liz was really nice and accommodating and made sure I had the wi-fi password and told me I could feel free to change the tv channel to whatever I wanted. I was there for a couple hours, but she made sure to check on me and see that I was comfortable. When my car was done, George came back out, brought me back to the garage and showed me the work he did. He detailed really clearly everything he had done and why he did it. He even fielded a random question I had about jacking my car up for repairs at home. Lastly, Liz checked me out, and went through each line on my receipt and made sure I was clear on all the charges. I paid, and left feeling satisfied. Long story short, if you want great service from really nice people, DEFINITELY come here. I know I'll be going back. read more

Mistakes happen; we have all experienced this. It isn't the mistake that matters so much as it is how it was resolved. I recently took my VW Passat to Exline Auto for a repair to the axle. It was an expensive repair, but I didn't realize that a mistake had been made until after I had moved away from their location. I didn't give Exline the opportunity to make the situation right, as more than a month had passed since I visited their shop. I was wrong. I didn't let them know about my experience until I received a customer satisfaction survey from the CEO. Shortly thereafter, I received a call from George, the CEO who sought to genuinely understand what happened. He offered to make the situation right by having me come back for the repair to be redone. Unfortunately, I had already had the situation fixed by another facility. Instead of dropping the issue, he did the next best thing, which was to reimburse me for the labor cost from the other place. I wasn't expecting anything from Exline, but was pleasantly pleased by their genuine concern and commitment to complete customer satisfaction. I would recommend Exline Auto, a company that stands behind their word and reputation. Julie E. owner: 2001 VW Passat read more

I was in a vehicle accident and was referred to exline because they specialize in off road vehicles. I took it to them with the specific instructions to inspect rear axle housing, driveline, transfer case and any other components that may possibly have been damaged by the impact. I had asked to speak with the technician assigned to my vehicle, which was ignored. I sat in the waiting room for about an hour an a half. At which point the woman at the front desk gave me the keys to their shuttle vehicle because they do not have a shuttle driver. She called me at around 330 to inform me that my gears had been completely rusted out and that I would need to have them and the lockers replaced. There was no inspection of the areas that I had requested. I asked for pictures and was told they would be provided when I had the services completed. At this point I still have not spoken to the technician. I requested that they put the rear differential cover back on so I could pick it up because I did not have a rental. This inspection was meant for an insurance claim, not for an upgrade or new work to be performed, I feel that they saw a female and thought they could pull one over on me. I have requested my money back from them, and have not received so much as a response back. I took it to another mechanic for a second opinion and was told, with pictures included, that my gears were fine and they did not need to be replaced. Thankfully the mechanic I took it to was an upstanding person and not trying to make a buck off of a female. read more

I just want to Thank George and the good folks at Exline. It's awesome when you can find a trustworthy shop to meet all your needs. For too many years I went to the dealerships to service my vehicles only to be left with poor customer service or feeling like you got ripped off. George and Liz thoroughly explain everything and do a great job of communicating. I feel like they go above and beyond. Thanks guys! read more

First time ever getting a safety inspection where they didn't give me a list of "urgent" recommended repairs! They didn't overcharge either. Will definitely be coming here again. read more

Great service and helpful in finding the best (cheapest) option for your needs.

I upgraded my suspension on my Audi A4 to a sport suspension made by an aftermarket company that was very reputable for Audi cars. When I installed it, I took it to a personal mechanic friend of mine who wasn't able to do the alignment he told me not to worry about it and that it would be no big deal. Two months later I noticed that three of my tires had lost their tread completely. I took my car to just tires in Fairfax and they changed all four of my tires and told me that my alignment was really bad and that was the cause of my tire wear. They told me because I had an aftermarket suspension They were not able to do an alignment for me due to liability issues. I took my car to three other tire shops to see if I can get an alignment and they all said the same thing so I was beginning to think and believe what they were saying that my suspension was not made for this car and I have to go back to the stock suspension. I called one of my friends who is an expert with this kind of stuff and he referred me to Exline automotive. When I took my car there I told them exactly what happened and what was the outcome of my last three visits to the mechanic shops and they told me not to worry that they can get it up there on the rack and they'll take care of it as soon as possible. I took my car there the next morning dropped it off at 8:30 AM and due to a hectic schedule that day I was in desperate need of my car being done as soon as possible. They called me a mere two hours later and told me that my car had been finished and there were no problems and everything was good to go. I showed up to pick up my car I saw the report my alignment was absolutely perfect and my car drives amazing now. I could deathly tell the difference in the drive and I am forever grateful for Exline automotive for giving me such a hassle free stress-free experience. I would definitely take my car back there for any other problems for sure and I recommend this garage anyone with aftermarket issues or general car issues. read more

I have never had a better experience at a mechanic in my life. I was driving south on 95 on my way home for a funeral and hit a piece of tire in the road it took my front license plate off and caused my engine splash guard to start dragging under my car. At 09:30 in the morning I tried two other shops who said it would be over an hour and cost north of $50 to just take off the one screw on the cover. I called Exline and they said they had a jack open and to bring it in. I was driving away back to support my family in under 5 minutes. I have told this story at least 10 times since it happened yesterday and I am still speechless at the kindness and professionalism at Exline. Thank you. read more
