Arlington Auto Repair

Very good, prompt service. Ali was very kind and helpful. Very transparent about pricing

Great, fast and trustworthy service.

Super easy, super fast, great work and no nonsense or upsell pressure. They simply took care of the repair I needed and got me back in my car the same day. I called them at 8 o’clock in the morning and they were able to see me same day. An hour after I dropped off the car I got a text with a quote, I checked off the services I wanted and hit reply. A few hours later, I got a text that my car was ready, we settled up and I drove away happy. My new breaks work great. Thank you!

A real service station with people who actually seem happy to provide service. First time, so it’s too early to tell, but everything is working fine. I’ll return.

I’ve taken two of my cars here for safety inspections, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Everyone was incredibly polite, professional, and easy to talk to. They explained everything clearly and were very understanding throughout the process. One of my cars needed a windshield replacement, and they gave me an excellent price—much better than I expected! It’s so rare to find a mechanic you can truly trust, but I definitely found that here. I’ll be coming back and recommending them to friends and family. Thank you!

I can’t say enough good things about Shirlington Shell Auto Shop, I’ve been taking my car here for since 2018. Edwin and his team are true professionals — knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly helpful. From the moment I brought my car in, I felt like I was in good hands. Edwin took the time to clearly explain what needed to be done and provided fair, transparent pricing. The service was prompt, and they even went above and beyond to make sure everything was running smoothly before I left. Highly recommend.

Great service and great communication.

Bad service

I was told it would take about 30 - 45 minutes to do the emissions and safety testing but ultimately took 5 hours. They gave me a list of items I needed to fix before they would conduct the emissions test. It was $1357.43 to pass safety inspection to include over 24 hours to do the work (so much for a 30-45 minute job. I could have gotten a better deal to fix everything at Sam's club but didn't want to waste more time). I came back, paid and left for the DMV. Found out that they didn't complete the emissions testing, the very thing they claim to do often. I hardly ever write reviews unless the service is exceptionally good/bad. This is a complete fail. Shirlington Service Center, do better! or at least do the minimum to get what should be a simple safety and emissions testing done.
