Dale City Auto Services in
Woodbridge (VA)

Been using Dale City Auto Services for the last several years. Originally I used Lake Ridge Auto Care and had the feeling I was getting ripped off there. Sure enough I was right. I found Dale City Auto Services and haven't looked back. Ricky and his team have been top notch and have serviced my Pacifica and Rogue. Great pricing, great service. Would give them 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend!

This gas station includes a nice food and beverage (plus other handy items) shop and full inspection services behind the pump stations. It has several competent mechanics on site. I took my car for safety inspection. The service was fast and thorough. They identified 3 faults with my vehicle which they were able to fix within 24 hours at a very reasonable price which included Uber rides to get me home & back. Ricky on customer service is fantastic. Excellent experience all round.

Matt, Ricky, and Miguel have provided really great auto service care for me today. They are quick and a lively bunch. Thank you so much!

Walked into the office to ask for an oil change and tire rotation and Ricky provided lots of useful information regarding oil changes and tire rotations as well as the frequency of those. He then went on to discuss some additional automotive stuff that broadened my perspective.

Best experience ever during a stressful situation. It's the first time anyone actually explained to me and SHOWED me what my car needed. Thank you Ricky. You have a customer for life.

Had to get an urgent repair done and they were able to get it done same day despite how busy they were. Max and the rest of the staff were extremely polite and personable.

As soon as I walked in I had a good feeling about the guy behind the counter.What i loved most, Rick, the manager of the shop is a certified repair technician as well. After we chatted for a little, he took me into the shop and showed me the issues and explained why his technican was recommending them. When I told him I didnt have a lot of money to spend, given the government shut down. He told me a short story of how a customer gave him the name "The Deal Maker of Dale City." I thought it was just a joke until... He wrote the estimates and prioritized everything from most to least important. After negotiating the price I decided to get all of the recommended repairs done. I've lived in woodbridge my entire life(39 years), so I've been to a lot of repair shops in the area. Dale City Auto Services is hands down the best. If you want a shop that does quality work, gives fair pricing, and will be honest with you. Take your vehicles there and talk to Ricky. He said to me multiple times throughout the process that "he has my back". I sincerely feel like he does and will continue too. After my experience, he lives up to the hype. I am a forever customer, as long as Rick is the manager! I just hope if or when he sees this, he won't mind that I posted a picture of him. I just wanted to let everyone know, who to look for.

Came in for an inspection and emissions. Worked with Max, got an honest assessment of what was urgent and what would require attention in the future. Reasonably priced, and quality service from Wilkin. Good experience, will be back, recommended.

Brought my car in for regular maintenance, and they found a few issues, but Ricky helped me alot with explaining with what was needed and made me comfortable about the repair process. Ricky is very helpful and friendly.

I've come into this shop a few times and every time I'm greeted happily by a young man. His name i think is Ricky. I come in to inquire about prices for some work to be done to my cars and he always helps me and is so polite with me. He is always happy and we will be back for the work.

Ricky has always been courteous and friendly. I always take my vehicle here for scheduled maintenance and I shall keep coming back!

I recommend showing up early for inspections because this place is busy. They get the cars in and out . Max the advisor was amazing ! He helped get my brakes done the same day to pass inspection. 5 star service .

This shop is awesome. Brought my Nissan rogue in because I needed an oil change. I also had a complaint about shaking when at high speeds. I had it at a shop before and they couldn’t figure out the problem. Without even having pulled the car in , Max drove the car and said the tires are likely out of balance and that they would need to balance the tires first before anything else, they did the oil change and balanced the tires. Car drives smoothly now. This is my new shop for sure!

We took our Grand Cherokee for an inspection and Max found a problem with our emergency break. He was honest and fair with pricing (which can be hard to find). Will be a repeat customer.

This place is wonderful. All the staff is very kind . Shop and lobby is clean , chairs, tv, Lyft service if not unreasonably far. Max was awesome. I came by and had some concerns about my check engine light. He let me know that he couldn’t have his diagnostic guy look at it right away but he still came out and scanned the codes to make sure the car was safe. I had an evap leak but he assured me that the car was safe to drive and that I could bring it the next morning or leave it and he could get me a ride home. Trusting him, I left the car and he called me a Lyft. Next day I got a call with what was needed and they took care of it the same day no hassle no problems. These guys are experts and have earned me as a client as long as they are here!!! Thank you so much to Max and the team!!!

I’ll tell you, I’ve been working on my own cars for a long time and my Chevy truck has been giving me a check engine light intermittently for weeks. I’ve gone to several different shops and they either couldn’t figure out the problem or they charged me for repairs that didn’t resolve the check engine light. Dale city Exxon auto services came highly recommended in the area. I came in and was kindly greeted by Max. The phones were ringing off the hook so I politely waited and as soon as Max and I spoke I knew I was at the right place. He called in his master technician so I could explain what repairs were done and what problem I was having . They called me a Lyft home and gave me an honest timeline of how long it would take before I would hear from them with a diagnosis. The next day before noon I got a call with the news, which wasn’t terrible, and didn’t come as much of a surprise either. I agreed to the repair and they fixed the car and had called me a Lyft back to the shop later that evening. They charged fair prices and didn’t try to sell me a bunch of crap I didn’t need. That was a week ago. The light has not come back on and the truck is running great. I’ve made the mistake of letting too many shops touch my truck. No more. These guys are the only ones working on this thing now. Thanks to the head tech as well, very knowledgeable man. Great experience! I’ll be recommending this business to all my friends and family in the area. Thanks again to Max and the team!

I was having some issues with my car and I pulled into this service shop without a prayer. I was greeted by Max who asked me what issue I was having. Not being mechanically inclined myself, I described my issue to him. He took the time to listen to what I had to say and was able to quickly diagnose the issue. He got me set up with service and had me back on the road in no time. Amazing people and amazing service. Didn't try to over sell me on services unlike other shops. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for good honest shop that does good work! Ask for Max!

I highly recommend these guys as they know what they are doing and Max made the whole process easy and smooth. Kept me informed and helped me out with getting service done fast. I will most definitely be bringing my cars here. Go check em out if you want honest and fast service. Go holler at Max. Peace

Car has been giving me trouble recently and Max was wonderful. He basically was able to diagnose the possible issue and had me out of there quickly. Keep up the good work and I'll be back next week to see about my wife's cars oil change. Thanks max

Dale City Exxon is a scam! The manager was rude and disrespectful. They tried to charge me for problems my car didn’t even have, with overpriced labor and parts. This place feels like a scam, so be careful and take your car somewhere honest.

Scam alert - Dale city exon Stay away from this place! The manager is rude and disrespectful. They try to overcharge with fake problems and don’t even fix the car. The mechanic was honest, but the manager wouldn’t let me talk to him. Total scam—charging high prices for labor and parts. Save your money and go somewhere else. If you don’t believe me please go and try..

My car needed alignment and balance asap. Ameer was able to take me in last minute, the team was fast and efficient. They did a great job! Car feels like new.

I always go here for my state inspection and they are very nice, fair, and reasonably priced when I need maintenance. I trust them not to screw me over. It's hard to find shops in Northern Virginia who won't lie to your face and try to convince you that need a ton of other work done when you don't. These guys are really straightforward - I like it.

They did an excellent job diagnosing what another repair shop had diagnosed but did not fix. The service was friendly and timely. I usually bypass the dealership and have used this service for may years. No regrets so far

Took the car in for an oil and fuel leak with my own parts. Was originally quoted 1100$. After they took the car apart, they told me they couldn't figure out how to fix it. The said they could tow it somewhere else (BMW) or try to fix it themselves. They already had my car for 4 days. I had no choice but to have them continue fixing it. 7 days later, after they figured out how to fix my car, they charged me 2900$. They made excuse after excuse on why (so called labor costs.) I would never take any vehicle of mine back there. This is a warning for those who even considers them! They're a shady business!!

Brought the car in and they quickly diagnosed the issue which was outside of easy faults and were open and honest with their estimates and time frame. The shop kept me informed throughout the experience finding different issues along the way. My car is older and it received the love that it deserved. Would highly recommended everything from a state inspection to a complete engine pull like mine these guys are true professionals and are now my only trusted mechanic for my car.

This shop has been amazing! I’ve had work done on both my Audi and Jaguar. The Custer service is THE best! They took their time to explain and give us the best options about repairs to our vehicle. The work on foreign and domestic cars which is a huge plus! The owner is available for calls and questions anytime. To have a shop right down the street from our home is super convenient! I’ve had tune ups, okie changes and even computer work done to my foreign cars, and it was all affordable. When you stop in ask for Gabe!
