What clients say about Mt Vernon Auto Repair in Alexandria (VA)
The current owner is very respectful, punctual, and fair with his work. We found this shop during a car emergency and they got the work done in just two days and did some work other shops might have declined. Give this shop a shot for fair rates and good service! Behind the 7-11
Finally found mechanics I can trust!
MT Vernon Auto Repair shop gave me a fair quote, stuck to it, and even showed me the old parts they replaced. The waiting area was clean, air conditioned, and the people were very friendly. A rare find in the auto repair world. I already went over 3 times with two different vehicles and the best experiences. I highly recommend this shop for all types of Asian, European and American cars.
Straight forward. Price and trustworthy shop. I have been goin to this shop for years, they continue to amaze me every time. Appreciate their service. Received veteran discount which is a great change with new management.
Took my 2000 Honda Civic Lx to these gentleman and they provided fast and efficient maintenance for my beloved Honda.
They got me in fast and replaced a dying alternador with a rebuilt one I brought with me. (Bring your own parts, save yourself some hassle)
I was quoted an extremely fair price and work was completed in the time frame they told me.
I highly recommend Mt Vernon Auto Repair for all your routine and complex maintenance on your vehicles.
I'd give them 10 stars if I could!
Used to have great prices. Not anymore. Quoted $360 just for labor to replace 4 spark plugs on a 4 cylinder SUV, plus replace the air filter and cabin filter. Said the work would take one hour. When I pointed out this worked out to $360/hour, the technician immediately said "ok then, it will take 2 hours". Uuhh... not helping. I'm sorry but $360/hour (or even $180/hr) for routine car maintenance labor is a bit much. Again, this was just the LABOR portion of the quote. So I only agreed to have the spark plugs replaced. Nothing else. They quoted over $360, including parts. I knew I was getting ripped off but didn't have time to make other arrangements. When I picked the car up, they claimed it had taken 2.5 hours to replace the four spark plugs. Did some research --- sorry that is well beyond the norm for a simple job of just replacing four spark plugs. Will not use them again. Be warned.
I took my Rav4 to the Gulf gas station on route 1 last Friday for an oil change. I looked in front of my car today with all the rain & could see oil all over the parking lot. I called these wonderful guys (after the gulf guys treated me very bad) They said to being my car ASAP. After waiting about 15 minutes they put my car on the lift and found the drain plug leaking. With great care to make sure they did not damage the plug, they tighten it. Never said a bad word about Gulf and did not even want to charge me. I have been around mechanics my whole life, these guys are the real deal . I always went to the Gulf because its so close to my work. I will walk the extra mile to work for these guys . Thank you for looking out for me today !!! I will be back again !!!
I've known the owner Key for quite some time. First met when I was stationed at Ft Belvoir. Always worked with me on giving me a good price and good care of my cars.
Overpriced and rude. Raised the cost of my repair by $150 when he found out my insurance was covering the cost. Overall very bad experience. Will not use service again.
I had an oil and oil filter change and the starter replaced on my 2001 Ford Taurus. Jose did an outstanding job on both. In the Taurus, changing the oil filter can be very messy; the residual oil in the filter often spills down the engine block, starter motor, and oil pan. Most shops simply leave the mess and allow the engine heat to burn off the spilled oil. Because the engine block was clean as a whistle, Jose apparently cleaned up the oil--which professional mechanics do as a matter of habit. He also installed the starter according to the starter motor's instructions. How do I know this? Because I read the instructions; Jose clearly did the same as there was a small electrical connection to the starter solenoid that had to be crimped. Most mechanics would have missed this very small detail. Jose takes pride in his work; other shops would have missed the small details of an oil spill and solenoid connection. I will definitely be back to this shop.
Highly recommend Mt. Vernon Auto Repair. They do excellent work, fair prices, very friendly customer service. I have recommended their shop to friends and family multiple times and received good feedback.
this place is a ripoff had my car checked at dealer was told tie rod needed replacing took new tie rods to this place to be replaced was assured that the work was performed went back to dealer to get front end alignment done was called down to service dept and shown positive proof (still had original inner tie rods installed) that this place just pretended to replace the parts i took to them ended up costing me two news tires plus new tie rods plus alignment when i told owner he just denied and walked away a waste of money and time wish i could give -stars
Great service and price. This shop can fix any problem on any car. I've been taking my car to this shop since 2014. As long as its open I wont use another shop.
