Auto Repair in Arlington & Falls Church, VA

Your Dealership Alternative Shop

Schedule Service

Serving NOVA for Over 20 Years

Auto Stop Arlington opened our doors in 1995 with the goal of providing honest auto repairs at a fair price to the residents of Arlington, Virginia. Shortly thereafter, Auto Stop Falls Church opened its doors in Falls Church, Virginia to continue providing quality auto repairs to the Metro DC area. We provide our clients with dealership quality service at a fraction of the price. Our goal is to enhance the reputation of our industry by delivering a superior quality of customer service and car care from a family-owned and operated shop. It all started organically with our owner, Tom Lapham, providing mobile repairs right in the driveway of his valued customers. Word of his personable, quality approach to car care spread, and he soon began renting out a single repair bay. Years later, we are still proud to provide the honest automotive repairs and services we became known for.

My Prius C shut down twice during the same week and and I had to get AAA to jump start it both times. AAA said I needed a new battery (it's been 7 years). Found Auto Stop on Yelp and they accommodated me same day. When they checked the battery in my car, they said it was fine and didn't need to be replaced. They charged it up and off I went. They were right--my car has been driving smoothly with no battery hiccups. The great thing is, they were honest about it and didn't try to push a sale w... Read More

Been going to this location for a while now. They are happy to take you back and so you can see the issues they provide a quote for. They also stood by their 36 month warranty on repairs when I had an issue with an engine mount that returned.

Best shop in town! Excellent service and fair prices. Always willing to take as much time as needed to answer questions, discuss details and get the job done right!

I had a issue with my truck and the service manager made sure it was fixed. Thought is was done and the issue was still. He was very apologetic and said he would take care of me. He ended up replacing 3 sensors on my truck and didnt even charge me extra for them. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Andrew Hernandez

I don't usually write reviews, but they went above and beyond today. This will sound bad at first, but stick with me to the end. I tried to get an oil change at another place and they told me that they couldn't do it because whoever changed it last sealed it and that the screw was likely stripped. He showed me the blue substance and told me I needed to go back to the place that changed my oil last. The oil change before that was at Auto Stop so I went - like 15 mins before they closed - a...

Never lived in the DMV area and this was the first and only spot I go to for my car. You can create your appointment online to drop off your car (obviously). Then they send you an email of which technician is working on your car and who the person managing all the numbers is. I actually really appreciate that. Then in their email it break down what they recommend to get fixed and pictures to actually show you proof of what part needs to be fixed or replaced. Never had a place like this! I... Read More

Steve (front desk) is very pleasant and really knowledgeable with regards to the automotive field. My box van is tall and they could accommodate it, which is a total bonus in my book! They swapped out some tires, easy peezy. The shop also diagnosed a leak, showed me the culprit and provided a quote for repair. I would definitely recommend.

Antonio De Campos

The service is ALWAYS AWESOME!! The staff is extremely friendly, customer-focused, fair, honest and timely in their service. I couldn’t be happier with the service I have received from them over the past two years and I couldn’t recommend them any more than to say I trust them implicitly with the care of my car.

Leon Wilson

Can’t recommend this place enough. The service and customer experience was terrific. Staff is awesome and seemed to genuinely care about me understanding the process, costs and next steps of repair/work. Awesome team here and Steve (GM) was friendly and beyond helpful. Thanks a ton!

Pretty great, as far as independent mechanics go. They're able to send you detailed invoices, with pictures, before performing work. Even with a laundry list of items to work on, they're able to get everything done same-day. They stand behind their work, too - they installed a sensor that ended up being defective, and ate the cost to diagnose and replace it. And they don't seem to really push work that's not mechanically necessary - for instance, if your brake pads still have sufficient life ... Read More
