I had an unexpected tire issue and was lucky to find such a helpful and efficient shop nearby. I hit a pothole and tore the sidewall of my tire while driving with my dog, and I was only a few hundred feet from their shop. They were incredibly kind, helped me immediately, and swapped out my damaged tire for the spare faster than I thought was possible--all at no charge. I don't know much about cars, so their patience and willingness to help really meant a lot. I'll definitely keep them in mind for any future car needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, fast, and friendly service. Thank you again! read more

I called late at night because I just found out I'll need emissions testing to register my car. Even though this station is advertised as "open 24 hours," I got directed to a receptionist who serviced multiple gas stations and couldn't tell me when an inspector would be in at the Old Town location. I asked to be transferred to whoever was on site, and she said she couldn't do that. The receptionist was extremely polite, but didn't have the information to be helpful. After reading another review about the mechanic trying to trick the customer into an unnecessary brake job after an inspection, I'm going somewhere else. read more

The gas prices are cheaper here. There isn't a lot of space. The gas lines extend so you can be on the "wrong" side of the tank & still be able to reach. The service station stays busy. It is challenging getting to a pump and driving around. But this block seems less sketchy than some DC stations. read more

I had a flat tire and they fit me in that afternoon and patched it quickly for a great price. They were extremely nice and happy to help! Would definitely recommend if you need a tire repair in the area. read more

Was on a business trip with a very early flight out. Great to have a 24 hour available has station. Thanks.

This place is so great! Christ is such a kind and honest person. I pulled in to get some air in my tires and he approached me (noticing my confusion lol) and told me to pull up and he'd look at all 4 tires and add air. 2 of my tires did not have air caps on them, which he also gave me those. He was so kind, caring, and helpful! I can't say better things! Take your car here! read more

This is a great gas station. Not many places offer free air pump anymore. And the gas prices are reasonable. Only a few pumps so you may have to wait your turn but worth it. read more

Been going here for 5 plus years to get my safety inspection. Today I was told I failed because my front brake pads were completely worn down. I said I just looked at them 2 weeks ago and they have 40% or 4mm left on them. He said no they don't, I said show me now, because I'm not paying $16 for a failed inspection because you want to con me into a brake service. He drove my car out and said no charge. Though now I have to check over everything he need and torque my wheels. These guys are lairs and thieves, do not get your car serviced here. Attached is a photo from my brake service 2 weeks ago, the thicker red pad is a new pad, the thinner one pulled off of my car. I put them back on because they have months left of service left on them before the tab indicator goes. read more

Old Towne Liberty - I failed inspection because of the upper brake pad which still has months of use left in them. Lower red pad is new. - Gas Stations Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This place has come in clutch for me multiple times. I've gotten gas here super early in the morning on my way to the airport to drop off my rental. It seems like the pumps are always on but last time I came through the pump wouldn't give me a receipt. Luckily someone was inside and printed it off for me. I've never bought anything inside the store, only fuel. read more

Have been here multiple times over the years for various car issues. They are insanely honest and fairly priced to the point they actually restore some faith in humanity. It's possible that if every auto repair shop operated like these guys there'd no longer be war, poverty, or disease in the world. read more

We mainly come here for the gas since they are one of the best in terms of prices, which is why we call this place the MVP of gas stations along GW Memorial Pkwy. This is usually our pit stop when we take this route. Their convenience store is also very minimalistic, but it has a few snacks and fuel to replenish physical energy. read more

Absolutely fantastic service. My tires were low, and they not only refilled them - for free - but replaced some missing tire valve caps. My go-to gas and service station in Alexandria. read more

Quick, clean and easy process for emission test. Called and they shared they were busy but could find a spot for me, in comparison I had called a few other shops around that listed a 1-1.5hr wait time. In out and within 15 mins, standard price $28 read more

I don't write reviews except in extraordinary circumstances. I am a regular patron for for their competitively priced gas and free air service. My car has an electronic dip stick for oil and I needed to drain a few ounces of oil. I inquired of the charge and was told to "just pull in" for no charge. They took the time to remove the the protective undercover, drain some oil---and refused to accept my repeat offer to pay. I will be back for sure! read more

Fast and easy Went for an oil change, took it in during my lunch hour and picked it up after work. Service was great and price was not expensive at all, would go to again! read more

The Service/Wait: Memorial Day was the only time I was free to get my car inspected and every place was closed, but Old Towne Liberty. This miracle had a great and nice mechanic that worked very efficiently and quickly. I was out in about 15 minutes. I will definitely be returning for other fixes on my car. Speaking to other people waiting, they also had positive experiences here. Will definitely reccomend them to my friends! read more

We came to old town liberty to fix a tire and the service was great. They were open first thing in the morning, unlike the two neighboring stations that said they were open but weren't! We had courteous and prompt service and the price was fine. I would recommend this liberty for their cleanliness, professionalism and great service. read more

Once I discovered Old Towne Liberty, I've never gone anywhere else for car maintenance and repair. Not only do they do quality work, they are also fast, friendly, and honest. To set expectations: If you're looking for a luxurious waiting room, this place isn't for you (there are several coffee shops nearby). But if quality, service, and price are at the top of your list, give them a try. read more

Stay away. New ownership. They are looking for the dollar signs. Not reliable either. Their inspection station being opened is touch and go.

These guys are saints. On a cold and wet morning I asked them to increase my tire pressure and check my antifreeze to prepare for travel during the cold weather ahead. This they did cheerfully, though there was no charge for these services. I decided to top off my gas tank with about 5 gallons of gas, and while I was searching for my credit card, the attendant even held my umbrella for me. read more

Every time I go to this Gas station, since it is just opposite my office, they always point out some additional repairs. I went yesterday for a Safety inspection of my Toyota Highlander 2007, and the rejected it due some brake issue with the front left and right wheels. I took the vehicle to the Lustin Toyota dealer where I had got the brakes done last year for diagnosis. I just got the call from Lustin Toyota that the brakes are perfect and did not understand why the vehicle inspection was rejected. I went to the owner and told him and he just said "Good". I think they lost a regular customer. I have three vehicles and used to take it to this Gas Station. I think new management is more interested in dollars than customer satisfaction. Since my job is here for the last 20 years, and I have been using the services of this Gas Station ,I feel its reputation is going bad. read more

ok normally I wouldn't recommend this place and I still won't. I only came here because I was in a bind and this was the only place that could squeeze me in. I was charged $25 for a tire rotation and $55 for an oil change for about $80. This was a total scam, I barely drive in the DMV area so this was my first oil change in a year. Even then, this is still a rip off. read more

Dishonest and unprofessional technician On August 27, I took my car into Old Town Liberty Auto Service for state emission/safety inspection. I dropped by about 1:00 pm on that day; the desk person stated that they wouldn't be able to test the car for at least 1 to 1 1/2 hours, since they only had one mechanic working, and recommended that I return later. I returned in the recommended time interval and after waiting for about 45 minutes, my car was up for testing. After about 2 to 3 minutes, I was beckoned by the technician. He abruptly stated something to the effect of "Your car's gonna fail since your horn's not working". I wanted to make sure I understood what he was saying, so I asked him to repeat this. He was visibly annoyed, started honking the horn a number of times, and stated "See? It's sounding wrong - it's not working." I was surprised by this since the horn's quality and volume sounded fine particularly over the traffic noise of Washington Street. I told him I didn't quite understand what he meant, to which he replied "Look, I'm a mechanic and you're not, so I know what I'm talking about. You can take it to another place, and they'll tell you the same thing". He didn't offer anything along the lines of fixing this supposed issue, so I left. I took my car to another station in the area immediately after this interaction. My car passed the inspection testing without any problem. I wanted to confirm that there was not an actual problem with my car's horn, so I took my care to my Acura dealership for routine inspection, and I asked them to check the horn. They stated that there was no problem with the quality/volume of the horn. I suspected that this would be the case. I understand that this technician at Old Town Liberty may have been under pressure since he was the only one working that day, however his dishonesty and unprofessional behavior was uncalled for. I felt his dismissive manner was directly related to me being a woman. Unless the management at Old Town Liberty addresses this issue, I will not be returning to this station for any services and I recommend that others (especially women) avoid taking their cars there for service. read more

I needed help filling up the air in my tires (yes I realize this is something most people can manage on their own) and I walked in, realized they were close but they still very kindly offered to do it for me and taught me how. The employees were incredibly kind and competent. Great service and great people! read more

Deen did it again. HONESTY is written all over him. I take my car here and always will. I would great if Deen tells me that I need $500 worth of work than the knuckleheads next door telling me I need $25 light bulb. Deen is my go to for any car work! read more

Quick car repair service and great price. They didn't fill my tires up with air though, might be a small thing to overlook but if performing state inspection and they actually badly needed air. Overall, happy with their service. read more

SO grateful to these guys! About to do a five hour drive, I noticed something hanging from beneath the underbelly of my car. Called them. They said to come right down. Fixed it while I waited. No charge. Each person kind and respectful. Highest possible recommendation. read more

Came in with low tire pressure light. The first time they checked adjusted all tires and sent me on my way- for free. I realized one of the tires was causing the issue this week and they fixed the tire at a very reasonable rate. Great customer service and I plan to use them for all maintenance in the near future. read more

Old Towne Liberty is an honest and trustworthy establishment. Before I came to Old Towne Liberty, I went to the Honda dealer. The Honda dealer said I needed new brake pads and rotors and quoted me an absurd price. I called several places for second opinions, and Old Towne Liberty had a much more reasonable cost. So I took it in, and after re-inspecting it, they told me my brakes were nowhere near as bad as the dealer said and I didn't need to replace the pads/rotors at this time. How often does a mechanic tell you a repair is NOT needed? It's usually the opposite - telling you that you need something done when you don't. I can't testify to repairs themselves because I haven't had work done yet, but I wanted to leave a review to recommend them as a trustworthy auto mechanic, which is a very rare thing to find. read more

This gas station is the best I've ever been to. They are always friendly to me, always waving, saying hello....all that. This place is only a couple blocks from where I work, so I frequently go here to gas up because it is always the cheapest gas around in Old Town. Once I went when my car alerted me that my brake fluid was low. I consulted with them to find out why my car was low on brake fluid, and they helped me immediately. Instead of trying to fix my car, they told me to take it immediately to the dealer (where it would be fixed free of charge) and told me what to do in the meantime. Two of the service people came to take a look at my car, checking it for leaks. They were unable to determine why the fluid was low and advised me not to fill it because the dealership could then call my bluff. They really helped me out! Not to mention, they didn't charge me a dime for the advice! Now, everytime I go there, I'm always greeted with a smile and a wave. I love to see their friendly faces and I'm always happy to buy gas from them! Definitely go here to get your car serviced or to gas up! NEVER go to the Exxon which is directly next to it (gas is always 10-20 cents more expensive) and from what I hear, their service is terrible (just a side note). I love Old Town Liberty! :) read more

I've been intending to write a review about this business; just never got around to it, but after today I absolutely have to give them the kudos they deserve! Everyone here is always friendly and very helpful. I get both my cars inspected here, they are fast and very professional. Today I had new brakes put on my Lexus RX 350, the dealer quoted $1,057 to do both front and back brakes, Old Town Liberty did the same work for $425!! Yes, that's right, a savings of $632!!! Dropped my car off at 11 AM without an appointment, they called at 1:40 PM to tell me it was done! Stop by anytime and ask for Dean, he's very professional and friendly. I don't think I will take either of my cars anywhere else ever again. This is an amazing service to have in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. Here's what you get from Old Town Liberty; - Fast, professional service - Money saving prices (best price for gas too) - Friendly advice if you need it Believe me, you can't go wrong here. read more

Love these guys. Very trustworthy and friendly. I went in to get a low pressure reading on a tire checked - the car dash was indicating it was low. They took the tire off, jumped through all hoops and could not find a leak. Didn't charge me a cent but took at least 1/2 an hour. Turns out my sensor was screwed up, not the tire! read more

Old Towne Liberty charged me $220 for a job (which included a safety inspection) that another mechanic had tried to charge me between $800-$1,200 to fix. I dealt with several mechanics at Liberty-including Deen-and everyone was very helpful and professional. I've only been there once, but I definitely plan on taking my car here from now on. Thanks for saving me about $600-$1,000, Old Towne Liberty! read more

Came in for a state safety inspection on a rainy day. Less than 10 minutes turnaround time. Staff helped to drive the car in and out of the garage. Good services. Recommend. read more

When I need anything done on my Prius I always turn to Deen he's honest he won't skip corners. If you want it done right the first time stop by and see Deen their customer service is spot on. Best Gas Station EVER! Deen the best manager since ever! read more

Just a little bit of a perspective. I called 3 service stations that do emissions testing and it's true what they say that "third time's a charm." First Call: Bradham Automotive -- the guy informed me that the wait time is at least 4 hours and even if I come in early the following day, there is no guarantee that they will be able to do the emissions testing quickly. No way! Mission Aborted! Second Call: Huhn's Shell (formerly Texaco) Service Center. Nobody answered the phone until after 9 am, and the guy on the other line informed me that they start the emissions testing at 12 noon! No way! Mission Aborted! Third Call: Old Town Liberty -- Mission Accomplished! This was the third station I called and I received a prompt reply on the phone, and the guy on the other line was professional. He told me that if I go there, I would only wait for 15 minutes or less. And, true to the promise, I was out of the station in 10 minutes and I only paid the standard fee for the testing. They sent the confirmation to DMV rightaway and was able to renew my vehicle. This is how business is supposed to be conducted! I am not surprised that Old Town Liberty has a perfect rating (5 out of 5 stars) at the time I am writing this review. I seldom write reviews but I'm making an exception on this one. The mechanics are professional and honest. I am definitely coming back in the future. OLD TOWN LIBERTY -- YOU DESERVE MY 5 STARS!!! read more

I've never posted a review on yelp before, but I know how hard it can be to find a trustworthy mechanic. If a positive review helps someone else to find this place, then it is worth it. The other reviews about the good customer service are spot on. Both the mechanic and cashier that I interacted with were genuinely friendly. It was refreshing. I mistakenly asked for both the Safety and Emissions inspections. I didn't realize that the Emissions inspection was good for another year. They were kind enough to let me know that there was no need for the Emissions inspection today. Greatly appreciated. They were able to complete the safety inspection while I waited, and then I was on my way. I will definitely be back when my 2000 Toyota Tundra eventually needs service again. read more

I'm sad to see Dennis go and this place change ownership. It's been my go-to for 9 years for several cars because of their honesty. One time after my car was done being serviced it was hit in their lot; Dennis paid for the body repairs & split a new windshield with me in good faith since the cause was somewhat unclear. I just had an oil change done and after suggesting some BS preventative maintenance (Deen never did this), the new manager tried to overcharge me by 63%. I'm glad I said something because in an instant the invoice was re-printed at a normal price, "after checking what I've paid before". A lot of unassuming people would've just paid and not questioned. They just lost a customer... read more

All you need to know when you go there is this one name DEEN. He is the best mechanic in the DMV, PERIOD!

Definitely recommend these guys! Dean and Jerry were very helpful. Being new to the area, it's always tough to find a auto shop that is honest and reliable. I brought my Lexus to the shop on a Monday morning and 3-4 hours later it was finished! We had a horrible sound coming from the car when the wheel turned. They were quick to find the problem and call me. They didn't try to get me to "fix" anything else. The cost of repair was very reasonable - right lower ball joint needed to be replaced, total to fix including parts and labor was ~$238. The part itself was $115. I asked if I needed to have the left side repaired as well - they could have easily said yes and made more money, but Jerry (the mechanic) was honest and said "if it was my car, I wouldn't". I will definitely use them in the future and recommend to friends/family! read more
