Arlington Auto Repair

They were very accommodating to get the work I needed done in a timely manner.

I feel lucky to have a reliable service station within walking distance of my home. I trust their judgement and service!

It is always a pleasure to work with the team at Shirlington Shell. They clearly explain every option and make sure they are completing the work at a fair price. The team has also given me a heads up when I should expect to need work in the future (e.g., you still have some time left for your tires, but expect to replace them in six months). I trust them completely, and the work is always completed efficiently! Highly recommend.

Went in for 2014 ford fusion service 100000 mile scheduled maintainence. Car dropped off at 9 am. Came out appx 3. List of services was as expected from the manual. They have a fusion guy on staff who knows the cars hands down. Their price for parts and labor was about POINT 8 Percent from what my estimation was. (That means they are fair and competitive) and I have zero issues with any of the staff. They get a 5 outt 5 stars.

I had a problem with my key transmitters suddenly not communicating with my vehicle. Shirlington Shell promptly found the problem; replaced the transmitter, cleaned the sunroof drains that were clogged (which allowed rain water to reach the transmitter), and reprogramed the keys to communicate with the new transponder. It saved me an extended trip to my car dealer.

DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH YOUR VEHICLE! I have been going here for years thinking they were helping me when I was being ripped off from Toyota, I was supporting small business and they were conveniently right near my job for 6 years. I got my annual inspection here just last October or November 2020, they allowed it to pass inspection. I purchased tires from them, they added a warranty I did not ask for and I was ok with that, again, supporting small business during these COVID times. I got a nail in my tire and took it to them this week and was told I needed over $2500 in work and my car is a safety hazard, and that I needed a wheel alignment, even though I just paid them for one in October/November 2020. I asked for the wheel alignment to be refunded so I can get it elsewhere since I no longer trust Ron Locher ( the one person I thought I could trust with my car). Ron preyed on a single woman who has been preyed on before by Toyota and tried to take advantage of my ignorance when it comes to car by leading with "your car is a safety hazard", shame on you! I will take my car to a reputable service center from now on. You all should be careful if you choose to let them work on you car. Good Luck!

I have nothing good to say about this place. They’ve been working on my family’s car since I was young and now work on mine. Ron treats us like family.
