Great service! Very knowledgeable staff. Good pricing! I'm definitely coming back. I had both my Toyota Prius' serviced at J&L. I am very happy with their services. The staff are super friendly. Their mechanics are all very experienced and fast to solve my problems at a good price. If you would like to save some money on your repairs, I highly recommend you to give J&L a try. It's a great shop to handle all of your vehicle's repairs. read more

I came here because several of my neighbors recommendation and not far from our residence. I needed a state inspection. I drove in and its down an alley way so i was not sure where to park. I finally parked in front of a garage and Blue located me. He let me know that was their old office but leave the car and he'll take it from there and go make myself comfortable inside. 15-20 minutes. 20 minutes later, he walked in the door with a passed inspection. While ringing me up, he gave me a brief intro of the business, who's who, etc. Very nice guy. Mom and pop shop (he told me they don't do coupons because it's just word of mouth advertising). Great place and very efficient. read more

J & L Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

I was looking around the area for a small family owned auto shop for inspection and came across this gem. John and Blue were absolutely personable and made my experience seamless. They will work with you and your vehicle without a question. Will be coming back for future maintenance. Thank you. read more

Good shop. Fair prices. Quality work. Mom and Pop shop. Very helpful and they always go above and beyond for service read more

Very friendly staff. Everyone is very knowledgeable and informative about what services need to be done and will give price estimates before doing so. I needed a rotor and brake pad change as well as my state inspection and they did it in a very timely manner. Highly recommend. read more

Very nice family operated automotive shop. Their labor rates are extremely competitive and they offer a veteran discount. Their service was quality and they didn't try to upsell me on a bunch of services I didn't want. I'm glad I found this place after my previous mechanic decided to retire. read more

I have used this automotive repair place for years. John and Lisa run an honest and efficient shop. The mechanics are talented at troubleshooting and repair. You get your money's worth. read more

Excellent, quick, honest service. Everyone is very pleasant. Always leave with peace of mind.

Called a few shops looking to get my car inspected for safety and emissions and amazingly lots of shops didn't have time, don't have anyone there to do it, or didn't do inspections on Monday. Called and spoke with John and was able to drop car off and have done in a short time. Lisa was super friendly and definitely will be back if in need of any work. Thanks guys for being so courteous and professional. read more

Just recently had some work done here. These guys were very straightforward and didn't pressure me one bit. They gave me a quote (priced very reasonably compared to the competition) and did the job without a hitch. Talk to "Kane", nice laid back dude. Only negative is the place looks like a dump. You may have second thoughts, but remember, the low overhead keeps your repair costs low. Highly recommended. read more

John and Lisa are honest people who do what they promise, do it well, and are reasonable. I have brought all my cars here for years because they gained my trust from the first visit - they do not disappoint. read more

I did smog check and safety inspections on both of my vehicles here today. This family owned business has great and fast service, exceptional customer service and good prices. Don't waste your time and money going elsewhere. read more

They are the best. I used to frequent another shop who messed up my car alignment and I ended up changing tires frequently, and recommended expensive repairs to fix the alignment issue. Tried out J&L and they took care of the whole damn mess. Never going to another shop other than J&L. read more

In my first visit, while in the waiting area I saw a customer come in who had just been to another shop that suggested he needed new brake pads and advised him from even driving the vehicle from the shop as it is. The customer had come to J&L automotive for a second opinion. Within a few minutes, a mechanic took a look at the pads and let the customer know that he was still above the minimum pad thickness and safe to drive but that he would need to change the pads in the next 1000 miles or so. My experience at the shop was the same. They only fixed what needed fixing and John took the time to explain everything to me. Honest reliable service that I would recommend to a friend! read more

J&L was awesome. They did something that 2 other mechanics couldn't. I took my car to a different independent mechanic and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with my car. Then I took my car to the VW dealership, and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with my car, but they found $4500 worth of "other" things that needed done. Lastly I took it to J&L. John found the problem in no time. Rates were better than the dealership and better than the first mechanic. Very trusting mechanic. read more

John and Lisa (J&L) run an honest and professional shop. I was very impressed that the J&L Automotive Team was focused on taking care of my vehicle and did not try to sell me anything that I did not need. The customer area was very clean and accommodating with WiFi, AC, Coffee and treats. They also have the cleanest bathroom that I have ever seen in automotive service shop. They have plenty of work, given their stellar reputation, but they were able to fit me into their schedule. I live in Maryland, but the 90 minute drive is worth it! read more

J&L is the only mechanic in the area that I trust. I have explored several since arriving last year. The guys here are what you would expect of an honest small town mechanic. I enjoy coming here. The prices are fair and the mechanics are honest and won't try to nickel and dime you to death with unnecessary services. Great place! If you are looking for a good mechanic trust the guys at J&L read more

J&L Automotive is for John and Lisa, the owners. I took my vehicle here after having a different mechanic shop look at it. John and Lisa are both super nice and very honest people. They also were able to do various repairs and services and my vehicle was ready in the same day. So very fast turnaround time. Its a tight and small area however trust and honesty go a long way in my book. I thought they were awesome. They have earned a loyal customer! read more

I can't say enough good things about J&L, I should have written a review long ago. My family and I have been customers for years. Simply put, they are the most honest, thorough and good people I've ever had work on my car, and probably just in general as people. Recently, with the passing of a family member, and needing some extra help with vehicles that were left behind, Lisa and John went way beyond expectations to help us. The truth is, I don't think they even felt that they were going beyond what they normally would do. I could go on and on, but since you are probably looking at this review to determine if you will use J&L to service your vehicle, just take my word, you should without hesitation. Thanks Lisa and John! read more

My entire family has been getting our cars services at J & L for years because they are knowledgeable and trustworthy. Lisa is wonderful and John's experience and advice is something upon which I have come to rely. I've been burned by big chain auto shops before and it is an awful feeling when someone tries to take advantage of you for their own financial gain. I never have that fear when I bring my car to J & L. Many thanks to John, Lisa and everyone at J & L Automotive! read more

First let me say that the people were very nice... unfortunately that's the only positive thing I can say. I had my vehicle in here 3 times for the same issue, and it still didn't get fixed. And I mean, not at all. Not even a little bit of improvement. The moment I drove off this last time and got on the freeway, the problem was still there. It's one thing if you can't figure out the problem and diagnose it properly, but it's another if the effort doesn't seem like it was made. I was told they didn't even test drive the vehicle on the highway after attempting to fix it, even though I had told them the problem I had was something that didn't occur until you had it over 50-60mph. How can you properly verify it was fixed if you don't test drive it correctly? The freeway is only a couple of miles down the road... come on now. Worse of all is the fact that they didn't even reimburse me fully. They only gave me my money back for the labor and not the parts. I understand that parts cost money, but if they weren't parts that were necessary for the job to begin with, and didn't fix my problem, how am I responsible to pay for them? It would be like me taking in my car for engine trouble and having the mechanic change my tires. Great, I have new tires now, but my engine is still messed up and not fixed. I tried to explain this to no avail. So, I was out a couple of hundred dollars, not to mention my time going back and forth multiple times, and my vehicle is still broke. I've never made a yelp review before, this is my first. My experience here was that bad where I had to share it. I'd be cautious of this place for any repairs. read more

John and Lisa run a great small shop. They are always super fair and honest. This type of mechanic is hard to find these days. It's well worth the drive from south riding to get affordable and honest work on your car. read more

Stopped by here based on recommendations from friends. Need a second opinion and quote on some work I needed to get done. Great people own the shop and are very friendly. Got the quote from them, which was $500 cheaper than what I was previously quoted at another place. So I made the appointment. Before the actual appointment they let me know they were able to get the part for a cheaper price than they thought and I saved even more money! Dropped off the car and got it back and now everything is running great. Will be taking my cars here for any repair needs. read more

There are lots of choices out there when it comes to car repairs. If you want your car fixed at a fair price by someone who stands behind what they do, this is your place. It may not look like much on the outside, but they defiantly know how to fix a car. They don't shy away from custom work, or the unusual request. Nothing like a family business who considers you part of the family. read more
