Honest car shop

Have yet to find an honest car shop in Centreville. One that won't "overcharge because they can" and one that accepts the little coupons you get in the mail ....

Don't know about the coupons but you could do worse than Gateway Shell & Service, across from Lowes. The owner seems a decent chap although his mechanics are far from infallible. Not a bargain but usually solid work.

Don't know about Centreville, but there's a shop in Chantilly I trust. The owner/mechanic, Hamed, is a longtime friend and is trustworthy. His rate isn't incredibly cheap or expensive, but I trust him, so I take my car there. He'll explain things to you in detail, but in plain english if you ask.

I know what you mean.....I've been to about 12-15 different shops in the region here looking for a normal honest shop and they pretty much all suck except for a few. For the regular quick oil change, I like to go to Valvoline on Rt 29 between Union Mill rd and CVS. For heavier duty work like new tires or alignments, etc. I like to go to Centreville auto and tire since they also have a shuttle service that will drive you home and pick you up (and of course the service is good). The other shop I have a lot of respect for is C&C up there past the expo center...Family owned and honest. They even stayed late to help me out one time.

Bill's auto has been really well respected for years - there's one in Manassas.

You can try looking on yelp too, but I've also had good experiences at Centreville Tire and Auto off 29
