Took my Yukon here for service and dealt with Favio. They offer friendly and detailed service. Once I dropped my vehicle off overnight, the next day they sent me pictures of what was needed and the cost. They were very detailed oriented and honest. Would highly recommend. I thought that the costs of the repairs were fair and good value. I needed multiple services/repairs done which they got done fairly quickly. All the services requested were completed. read more

What a hole in the wall with rude owner. Dirty building, rude staff no parking. Do business at your own risk.

I went in on a Thursday morning to get a state inspection. They were able to get it done in 30 minutes. The person who helped me was very kind and honest. I will definitely be back again. read more

Rick and his team are skilled, knowledgeable, and honest. They also take the time to answer any questions one may have regarding their vehicle, and they do so in a clear way. They have exceptional customer service. read more

I have been bringing my car here for about 5 years. The owner Rick is very responsive and honest. I know I can trust him accurately diagnose problems with my car and repair it at a reasonable price. As a single woman, it is really important to be able to trust a shop not to take advantage. I highly recommend this automotive repair shop. read more

I was looking at a used car from one of the nearby used car dealerships and wanted to do a pre-purchase inspection. The guy at South Riding got me in to the shop within thirty minutes and boy - was it the best $90 I ever spent. Although the vehicle had no accidents listed on its vehicle history, South Riding quickly discovered signs that it had been in a major accident. Walked away from that purchase, thank goodness. Highly recommended for great, honest service, low cost, and cool vibe. read more

This is definitely the best auto repair shop in the area! Rick and his employees are very knowledgeable and honest. It is a family business, with Rick being the owner and his sons working there regularly. For the repairs, everything was explained in depth to me, which is very helpful to somebody who isn't good with cars. I shopped around at a few other places nearby and the prices here are very competitive. read more

Took my Chevy Malibu there on Friday for a noise issue that the dealership couldn't figure out. Made the appt for Friday morning and dropped the car off at 8:00am. Received a phone call from Rick at 11:00 with the problem diagnosed. Turned out to be the right rear wheel bearing. Rick suggested we only replace that one since all the other wheels seemed fine. Had the car back by 2:00pm with the issue resolved. Great and friendly owner and mechanics. I really appreciate that Rick test drove the car before and after the fix to help diagnose the problem and then make sure the issue was fixed. Pricing is much more reasonable then the dealer or other local mechanics. Will definitely be returning for oil changes and other service in the future. read more

I brought my car here today because it was making a crunching noise when I applied the brakes. I thought that it needed brakes. He test drove the car in order to hear the sound that I was hearing. He did not hear anything. He took off all four wheels and advised me that my brakes were fine. My brakes only needed some minor adjustments. These people are extremely honest and will not overcharge you. I have never met a mechanic that I trust. I will definitely bring my car back to this location read more

After my experience today I'll definitely be returning to South Riding Automotive for all my future car needs! Like a dummy, I let my state inspection expire and I didn't realize it until 1:30 on a Monday, the day before I had to park in a commuter lot famous for cars getting tickets on expired tags / inspections. I telework on Mondays so I didn't have much time to sit around and wait for my car, which two other mechanics in the area would have had me do for hours. But South Riding Automotive was a godsend. They had me in and out in 20 minutes. I couldn't believe it! They were all so friendly too. I had grown weary of my previous mechanic and questioning their honestly anyway, so I'll be returning here for sure! read more

Just wanted to give a shoutout to Rick and the crew at South Riding Automotive. They were very pleasant to deal with, knew exactly what they were doing, and fast! They didn't push any unnecessary repairs on me. And showed me everything that they fixed...literally. Rick kept all of the old parts and waited for me to get there to show me the problems with the parts. I liked that. read more

I absolutely love SR Auto! I always get really good coupons in the mail for them, and I trust Rick and his crew with my car. They are always honest about what's going on, and they never try to charge me for anything unnecessary. Love these guys! read more

I have used these guys several times to fix bumpers and paint car parts. I have a 3 stage pearl paint and they have done flawless work. I would highly recommend them. read more

Were here for emissions test. They were quick and friendly and the waiting area is nice and clean.

I brought my car in without an appointment for an inspection and they discovered I needed engine mounts. What they told me next showed their honesty. I was told that my rear brakes were like 1/32 above the passing limit and it would pass at that time and probably fail next week if I had the inspection. I could see how some auto shops would just go ahead and say the rear brakes fail. In the end, I had the rear brakes replaced, rotors machined, and two engine mounts installed. After using their coupons, the price was lower than the dealer by roughly $60 after paying for a rental car (enterprise at Moore Cadillac) and deducting the dealer discount. The car drives fine and I am satisfied with the service. The owner and staff were nice to deal with and the repairs were completed as scheduled. read more

Absolutely the best, most honest and fair priced auto shop in Northern Virginia. I just did an apples to apples comparison on a brake job I got done yesterday at one of those chains in South Riding (e.g., Goodyear, Hogan & Sons, etc.). Rick the owner at South Riding Automotive explained that he would've put in better quality brakes, and would've done it for $300 less. Rick then put my car on the lift and for $0 explained the next several repairs I need to get done. Great guy!! SRA is outstanding, so honest and fair!! read more
