Serving Northern Virginia and surrounding areas for Over 25 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, Alexandria, Virginia and surrounding areas. 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.

Auto stop has great mechanics and top notch customer service. They'll explain what needs to be done vs what should get done without talking down to you. And they always confirm a quote before getting started so you don't end up caught off guard with an outrageous bill. Plus a goody bag of snacks when you pick up your car. Everyone there is so nice!

"Going to get your car repaired is never fun." Not something I have to say when I go to Auto Stop. Their honesty stands out among the rest. It is very hard to find a place that will stand behind their word and who truly values you as a customer. Auto Stop does that and more. From the initial greeting to the final checkout I was treated as family. I was very happy to see a woman behind the counter. In an industry that is mostly male dominated, it was refreshing to have a woman with so much kn... Read More

My daughter took her car to the dealership and they gave her a list of things that needed to be done. She was surprised because she had recently had her safety inspection done but they didn’t mention any of the things required So she called a few shops around to ask for quotes sense she thought that it sounded a bit strange. After several failed attempts I getting an estimate from local shops refusing to provide an estimate over the phone she found this place and they gave her a quote. She ... Read More

I had no idea before I come here. They got my car fixed in 2 hours and much cheaper than other shops. I will come back later. Thanks all.

Leaving this review after my first time here. I was looking for a regular auto shop after moving to the area, and this will be it. Staff was professional, helpful, and straight to the point. Service was very quick. At no point did I feel like things were being over explained or that I was being taken advantage of because I’ll be honest - my knowledge of cars doesn’t extend far beyond “key goes in the ignition and car goes vroom vroom.” Great experience overall.

I took my A6 to get the brakes repaired. Tom and his crew were a breath of fresh air compared to the local Audi service center: timely with inspection updates and eventual repair, very courteous, and a much better deal. I highly recommend them for your vehicle! Thanks guys!!

Service was amazing, staff was even better. This will definitely be the first place I go to for my car repairs. I dropped the car off, they got my tires delivered and installed all on the same day for a price that I probably couldn't get anywhere else.
Update: I have been going here for a few years now and still my favorite spot. I also want to give a shout out to Shawn, he's the best!

I have been going to Auto-Stop for over 20 years. They always take great care of my car and I feel they are 100% honest and forthright. Shawnn took care of me this time around, basic oil change and tire rotation, and everything went smoothly. I always recommend them!!
Sara Platt
I have been coming to Auto Stop for years now and I am very pleased with my service. Shawnn the manager of the falls church location is great with customers and explaining things. I hope Shawnn stays with Auto Stop forever because he is great!

Took my car in for oil change and was told too soon don’t do it
