    My accident waiting to happen!
    Jim A.

    Needed repairs & this was convenient location right off Rt66. Pulled into front as likely the manager was outside helping older gentleman. Great to see this kind of customer service as soon as you arrive. I walked-in, waited only for few seconds & "Matthew" from outside immediately addressed me. The older gentleman left while smiling, another good sign. Outside has plenty of parking & inside is well taken care of. My car made it into shop fast & repair was being taken care of however a major problem I wasn't aware of, was brought to my attention. This was possibly a life saver. Thank you Matthew & to the other mechanic because this could have resulted in a crash. Manager Matthew didn't try to sell any unwanted service but a sharp eye likely saved me $100's. Once we sorted out the details turns out price was more then reasonable and work is high quality! I have used another Midas on Glebe Rd with very good results. Now I have another I can rely on. Not sure but aftwr reading reviews I think the few negative comments are likely some previous employee. I think (because I asked) the manager said they took over in 2019 or 20. This shop keeps up the good work they will definitely help you & maybe secure your safety without knowing it.

    This is the tie rod assembly Chris said couldn't be taken off the car without breaking the entire steering.

    Update: Bought a $20 tool to take off the entire tie rod assembly. If Chris really wanted to sell extra work, he could have told me that since the outer tie rod wouldn't budge, they would have to replace the entire assembly and sell and extra part and an hour of work. Save your time and money and stay away if Chris is working there. It took me less than 15 minutes to take the old part off and Chris had it for 8 hours. No fluid leaking from the steering assembly so that pretty much invalidates his theory. Outer ie rods move via ball joints, meaning they spin freely and cannot break the steering. Any car's steering is well bolted to the frame of the car by very big bolts, replacing a tie rod will not damage the system but then again, these jokers could probably manage to mess that up. You can see in the photos where they tried to spin the assembly by the bolt and chewed up the threading. No wonder they couldn't get it off. How come a regular dude in his garage can do the job these "professionals" can't? SAD! Looked at my control arms, they are all fine. Bushings are still good. Chris tried to tell me my alignment would be better if I replaced these parts. Your control arms are part of your suspension and have nothing to do with an alignment. My car is front toe only, meaning you can only adjust the alignment by the tie rods. Check out my other photos to validate everything I've posted before. Will also post pics soon of the brakes that were "metal on metal" but actually just needed to be replaced in the near future. If brakes need to be changed, then say "you could use a brake job soon" and not try to scare people that you think don't know better. Also, Chris left me a very long and strange voicemail after my previous review. Sounded unhinged and confused as to why he got called out for trying to rip someone off. What was really creepy was him saying "I just want to talk" about 5 or 6 times. He's probably not a mechanic himself and comes from a service manager background, meaning he gets paid commission to sell work. What a joke! If i ask for a tie rod, then sell the whole assembly and not something unrelated to the work I asked for! He couldn't even get that right!

    Matt told me it may be the throttle body assembly, and it turned out to be a fuse to the assembly.

Other auto repair shops seriously need to take note of how this place operates. They don't just see dollar signs when you walk through the door; they focus on building real relationships and providing honest, top-tier service. They have gone completely above and beyond to extend the life of our family's vehicles, keeping three very different cars running beautifully: * My truck (2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali) * My wife's car (2013 Chevy Equinox) * Our daughter's car (2016 Toyota Corolla) Finding a mechanic you can trust implicitly is rare, but the team at The Car Doctor has earned our loyalty completely. They treat your vehicles like their own and never try to push unnecessary repairs. Truly a gem in the community--highly, highly recommended!

They provided a detailed, easy-to-understand report showing what needed immediate attention and what items may need to be addressed down the road. What really stood out was their honesty. They never tried to upsell me or pressure me into repairs that weren't necessary. Instead, they took the time to explain everything, prioritize the repairs, and let me make an informed decision. It's refreshing to find a shop that's focused on helping customers rather than selling unnecessary work. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and professional mechanic, I highly recommend The Car Doctor for all your vehicle needs. I'll definitely be bringing my other vehicles here for future maintenance and repairs!

My Audi Q7 broke down last week and was inoperable for six days. Ben took my call and kept me calm and focused while we tried to figure out what exactly was going on with my suv. After a few minutes on the phone we thought it was best to have it towed to the nearest shop a few miles away (by the way, this was an evening/after hours call). Ben helped get me a tow and offered to send me a car to be driven home. I opted to walk down the street to a local restaurant to take advantage of my stranded situation (that's an entirely different story). Back to my review. The next morning the Nielsen team helped me understand what was going on with my suv, the options available to me, and provided a detailed break down of the costs associated with the five years of neglect and work needed to be sone to my suv. The number was a big number but there is a cost associated with having skilled technicians on staff to do the work and do it right. I was ok with this and they were kind enough to work with me on the price. Through the entire process, Ben and his team kept me in the loop at all stages of the service, until my car suv was ready for pick up. I recommend anyone looking for a hard-working, honest team to service your car or SUV to look no further than Ben Nielsen at any of his locations. My wife and I often use one of their locations in Alexandria on Colvin street because it's closer to home, but when my Audi broke down, skyline became the best option. There's no financial incentive for me to give this review only the gratitude, gratefulness, and my overall desire to thank the team for what they did. Thank you Ben and the Skyline team!

Sometimes the work is fine and sometimes its not. Too often I drive out with a new problem that I did not have before. A year ago this happened with the Steering Gear Box, which started making a grinding noise as soon as I left the lot. I had to bring it back and pay for a new one. Today, I brought it in for a few minor issues and an inspection and oil change. I also asked them to look at the rear end because I was sometimes experiencing a light "clunk" when I would drive over bumps. They told me the rear differential was making that noise. It seemed odd to me that the rear differential would be the cause. So I told them it was not a big enough issue at the moment to justify $3,000 for a new rear differential. I drove it home and - voila - the rear differential is now making a grinding noise (it was not before). The clunk is still there, but that is not on them. I am not going back because I never know if I am going to drive out with more problems than I came in with.

The thing I appreciate the most is that they are very open and honest about what actually needs to be fixed vs can be deferred.

We asked if they could help us put the spare on so we can drive the car back and they did everything with no questions and free of charge. Highly recommend!
