    Me and my family been going to this shop for years and spend great amounts of money with them and…read morealways satisfied They're always honest with us and customer service outstanding They're are my first choice!!!!

    Disappointed, frustrated, and beyond over it! First I…read morethought this place was a good shop because I took my wife's car for a state inspection sticker. She needed two new front tires and alignment. We received at a good price. Fast forward: A week later, my own car started smoking and had an oil spill under the hood. The temperature gauge on my car at the time was not showing that it was overheating. So I got it towed to the Virginia Automotive because of their previous work was good on my wife's car. They diagnosed the problem and will cost $4600 to repair which would consist of them cleaning up the oil by taking out the engine and putting new parts in. I asked the front desk person if I could get certain things fixed due to financial reasons and she told me it will be best if I get it repaired all at the same time because it's cheaper that way. I also requested a state inspection service.I received another call saying I will need a ball and joint for the tire for it to pass inspection which I figured because I had some shaking in the wheel still after receiving an alignment from another shop. The Friday before Christmas I came to pick up my car and I was told that the lights just came on and their system was down and I can pick up my car on Tuesday. I was fine with it at the time because I THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED! Tuesday, I come pick up the vehicle. Had to take out a crappy loan service that they offer and pay some of it out of pocket. While the front desk person was acting a little skeptical because she did not want to sign the loan document and got the other young lady to sign it. Red Flag! I never received any feedback from the mechanic if I need to look out for something or more. While driving away from the shop, the ball and joint on the tire felt the same while braking, hearing swishing noise from inside the car, day 3 and my car is OVERHEATING after a diagnostic test was done and a state inspection sticker was placed on the car after paying hard earned money and trusting the shop to fix the issue. This is the 2nd time I had to reschedule my wifes anniversary dinner out of state. My car is sitting outside the shop. If it is not corrected and fixed this time. I will not be going back and I will definitely be contacting my attorney due to "bad repairs". Sadly my review was deleted off of Google due to being honest about my experience.

    This is the first service shop I've taken my Bentley outside of the dealership for service. I was…read moreoverly impressed with their professionalism, and detail when addressing my concerns. I was definitely apprehensive to exploring a non Bentley dealership/service station but those concerns were eased through the experience. Their workmanship was top notch and they'll continue to maintain my business!

    I brought my 2015 Audi A7 to this shop for a coolant leak/overheating issue and ultimately spent…read morearound $3,000 on repairs including water pump-related work, belt/tensioner, hoses, diagnosis, etc. Initially, the staff seemed knowledgeable, and I appreciated that they identified an active coolant leak. However, after getting the vehicle back, the car continued losing coolant rapidly -- even while sitting parked overnight. I also experienced smoke from the exhaust at startup and additional oil leakage concerns after the repair. What became frustrating for me was the diagnostic process afterward. Once I returned with continued coolant loss concerns, the conversation shifted almost immediately toward "internal engine damage" and engine replacement, despite no combustion leak test, leak-down test, or follow-up compression testing being performed to confirm catastrophic engine failure. I understand overheating can potentially damage an engine, and I'm not disputing that possibility. My issue is that I did not feel there was enough confirmed diagnostic evidence presented before recommending something as major and expensive as an engine replacement. I also physically observed dried coolant residue and evidence of external coolant spray/leakage around the engine bay, and the vehicle was still losing coolant while parked and not running, which I felt deserved further external leak investigation before jumping to the conclusion of full engine replacement. To be fair, the staff did communicate concerns about possible overheating damage from the beginning. However, I left feeling more pushed toward a worst-case scenario than guided through a complete and confirmed diagnosis process. At minimum, I would strongly recommend that future customers request: combustion/block testing compression/leak-down testing and clear confirmation of leak sources before agreeing to major engine replacement recommendations.
