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.

I’ve gone to this shop twice now for services on my vehicles. Both times they’ve been very quick and friendly. I’d recommend them over any dealership service shop.

We are out of town visiting from Florida and unfortunately picked up a nail while touring around the city. We called the local dealer and they told us they could get us in in 2 weeks, for a tire repair. After a few more phone calls and no luck I called Toms Auto Stop shop and spoke to Brandy. They were extremely busy as well but she understood our urgency and was able to get us in for a 3pm and get the tire fixed while we waited near by. We had our 4 kids and 2 dogs with us so this was such ... Read More

As a woman, I have a hard time finding a shop that will address the issues I have at a fair price. I had been calling around to see if a shop in my area could repair my splash shield, and either the person who answered the phone was rude, or told me that I had to leave my car ALL DAY for a 5 minute service. I did a quick google search and found Auto Stop Arlington, and just decided to take my chances and visit. As soon as I pulled up, I could see that is was pretty busy, but Lucas approached ...

I was able to call first thing in the morning and spoke to Lucas. He was able to not only get my car in the same day car for service, but he also had it finished by that same day! Overall, the service was amazing and I will definitely be returning if I ever have anymore car trouble!

Auto Stop was extremely helpful when I needed to replace an A/C hose that had a leak. They were quick diagnosing the issue and once they had my part, the turn around time was perfect. Pricing was extremely transparent and on par with industry.

Excellent service and reasonable pricing considering how much work my car needed. Lucas Monaco was especially professional and helpful, working after hours to accommodate my schedule.

Brandy was exceptional, she walked me through the whole report on my car and prioritized it — no one wants their car at the shop. And, with Brandy it was seamless. I’ll be back . Thanks Brandy!

Had an issue with my initial visit, but the owner, Tom reached out to me and was able to make things right and get my car back out on the road. He was very gracious with his time and also very knowledgeable and friendly.
Really appreciate the level of service I received and will return again. Thank you!

I have been looking for an auto shop in Arlington to have a local go-to place and I definitely found it in Auto Stop! This shop blew me away with their amazing customer service and quality work. I have a bit of a commute to work and Auto Stop was able to provide me with a rental car, so I could easily drop my car off and pick up when it was ready. For this visit, I needed an oil change and state inspection. Their price for an oil change is extremely reasonable. On top of the state inspection,... Read More

They must be hurting cause they just asked for $700 to replace a mass airflow sensor and a air filter holder. Not what I am used to with this shop... not very happy with over 100% mark up on parts and labor... Sensor cost :$130 Air Filter Housing $35...Labor: 2 hours max...
UPDATE: Doug the Manager called me personally and addressed my concerns. Not only did he take the time to chat, but made it right and took care of us. I really appreciate the customer service he provided. We also spoke t... Read More
