Craftsman Auto Care - Fairfax

Craftsman Auto guys saved the day for us again. Believe me if I praise someone for their work it’s for real. First, I made huge mistake and took my vehicle to another auto center that starts with a N here in Fairfax. They flat out told me they couldn’t repair my car “ take it else where”. And I did just that, I immediately called Craftsman and the manager said bring it in right now within 30 minutes those professional mechanics diagnosed the issued , quoted me a price. And gave me estimated time for part and repair . I was so grateful to receive this kind of service . The whole staff is kind , professional and trust worthy. And the owner is a delight to speak to as well. My daughter and I appreciate all of you guys. Keep up the good work! I will be referring your shop to my friends and family. 👍🏾😊 ❤️

I'm giving one star for this place. 1. Made an appointment a week ago at 8.00 a.m. Dropping the car off at 8.00 a.m. and sitting there for 1.10 hrs. with my car still in the lot. Many cars come after are getting service before me. What is the point of an appointment? 2. I have been told by a technician the shop cannot install 245/35R20 on 20x9 rim which is ridiculous. The size is within the specification by the manufacturer on 20x9 rim. Just one true opinion.

My Power Seats and Mirrors stopped working on my 2013 F150 after I reached down between the seats and console to retrieve my phone. I suspected that I might have loosed a power wire connection. I took the truck to the local Ford Dealer in Fairfax and told them the problem. They told me they would do a diag. They would have to charge me a separate diag fee for the mirror and seat. I told them just do seat hoping they figure out the issue. Anyway, they say "Need to start by replacing driver's side seat module, programming, and then recheck for any other issues" estimate would be $1060.00. I thought to myself I just paid for a diag to the find problem, not start replacing parts to the find problem. I declined and told them I would get a second opinion. I came to here and had them do a diag, they did not try to charge me for both items, told them what I think might have happened. Matt and his staff were very professional and Matt explained the problem after his mechanic properly diagnosed the issue later that day. The problem as I suspected was a loose power connection underneath the seat that i probably dislodged while reaching for my phone. He reconnected the loose wire fitting and my power seats and mirrors are back to normal. They saved me a lot of money and headaches. I highly recommend Matt and his staff for their exceptional customer service and honesty. Thank You!

Eli - This review is very misleading as to what we provided for you and your vehicle. Per our records, this vehicle was previously owned by a different customer of ours. The photos of invoices you have attached to this review are services we provided for the previous owner of this vehicle. All the work stated was performed before you owned the vehicle. Yesterday, on 1/17/2022 you came to us for a full diagnostic/inspection after you mentioned you hit something in the road and wanted an estimate for any potential damage caused. As with every vehicle that comes through our shop, we perform a thorough inspection of the car with various photos and our analysis of what we see. We then make recommendations to the customer based on our expert findings. This information is then turned over to the customer for them to decide how they would like to move forward. The full diagnostic inspection was the only service that we provided for you as our customer on your newly acquired BMW. Everything we recommended was based on expert findings, and it is our job as your auto repair experts to share all information acquired with you in order to keep your vehicle in the best shape possible. For example, the recommended struts & shocks on the front and rear is due to the age/mileage of your vehicle and is in alignment with the manufacturer’s recommendation. (2012 BMW 535 w/ 113,000 miles). We’ve reached out to you regarding this issue over the phone, but unfortunately you are still unsatisfied with our professional recommendations. If you would like to have another conversation on our findings, you can reach us at 703-272-3216.

Remarkable! Son bring auto home to Boston, MA from Fl -low profile rear tire blew out and donut installed to get to a tire co in Mclean VA area. Had tire shipped in overnight as know one had tire and it was back ordered for wks. Went to Dealership (Merc) to have tire installed and they attempted, put tire on rim but could not set it- charged him 240.00 for trying. He brought tire to four specialty tire shops only to be told it was stretched by Merc and would not set and advised other tire shops. He went to each one with same results. I flew in following morning to get this accomplished as it was impossible for me to understand. These wheels and rims less than a year old and very expensive. I proceeded to four different recommended shops only to end with Craftsman. They understood the problem and understood we had to be on the road that night to get back to Boston for mother/grnadnothers 98 th birthday celebration. They fully communicated the problems and the possible solutions. By 630 p.m a Friday evening. they had the rear tires on the original rims installed, balanced and tires aligned for a VERY competitive price, No price gouging. The personnel fabulous, responsive, incredibly positive with a "can do"/"must do" attitude. The owner who happened to be there when first entered was equally as supportive, determined and sincere. You can not go wrong with this company, this is proof positive. I own two businesses in Boston for over 25 years and this company has it down. They are courteous, direct, helpful, responsive, and capable. Go to them for your car issues before going anywhere else. Made it home without a hitch.

With out a doubt, the best group of people you could ever deal with. They know me and my family pretty well, so I just sent my daughter their due to a tire pressure warning. They know her as well, and when she walked in, they said, jokingly, "sorry, can't help you, your dad didn't call ahead". They of course, took right in, filled her tires and sent her on her merry way. In the interim, I called to bust their chops, Drew and I had banter, laughing and joking, and I again thanked him for their support, kindness and honesty. If you don't utilize Craftsman Auto Care, you may be taken for a ride.

I’ve been coming here for years now and I update my review each year. Each year I give them 5 stars! I can’t ever say enough good things about the prices, the staff, the professionalism, the trust, and the quality. The staff is incredibly kind, great listeners, empathetic, talk you through the process, and are personal. I come in and they know me. The prices are incredible. You won’t find this level of professionalism and quality for cheaper anywhere else. I always know I’ll get the best price. The quality is top tier! I never have to worry if I’m getting the best care because taking it here I know I am. I trust them so much, I can’t emphasize it enough. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much for all you do!!!

These mechanics are not out to get your money. All they want to do is fix your vehicle. They'll tell you exactly what's wrong with it and how much it costs. They want your lifelong business, so they're not about to rip you off for thousands of dollars in repairs you don't need.
