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.

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

I needed help in a pinch after I blew out two tires heading into a holiday weekend. Mustapha and his crew couldn't have been any more helpful. Good service at a fair price with excellent responsiveness under pressure.

Take care of your car at a reasonable price with great service. I've been using them for several years on a few different cars and they do a great job.

I had received a quote for a very expensive repair from a Midas shop when I went in for an oil change. I went to Auto Stop for a second opinion. They were extremely up front and honest and said they would do a thorough examination. They did, and let me know the repair was not necessary. We did a (needed) tire rotation, but essentially, they saved me $1800! I'll definitely return to them for all repairs.

Auto Stop is absolutely the BEST auto repair and maintenance shop I have ever used, and I'm nearly 65 so that's something. I've used them for years and never take my car anywhere else. Friendly, professional, quick and expert. Highly recommend!!

Bought Tires online at Simple Tire with Mil DIscount- THey shipped for free to place of my choice- Auto Stop- They Did a quick job remounting 4 tires- there was quite a rumble over 60mph for the first month or so- Suggested it was a bent wheel from off roading which I have not done- and never had problems previously in 180,000 mile 3 sets of tire life-
Had a tire fail 3 months later, and took it to them- had to buy a new tire from simple again- but they mounted it and balanced it ... Read More

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!
