I was referred to ABS by a local auto parts store. The owner took great care of me himself. Everyone was polite, quick and friendly. I had a somewhat unusual situation and they took my SUV right back, and fixed my problem and didn’t even charge me!! The technician gave me a clear description of the issue. It is a clean place with a nice waiting room and terrific, friendly, knowledgeable staff. If there we’re six stars I would have given them all six!
Amazing service. Complete details (including pictures) of work needed provided in writing as well as thoroughly discussed with the mechanic via the phone. Work was completed quicker than expected, despite their week being fully booked.
I’ve been going to ABS for years. They always do a good job on our cars. Would highly recommend!
Friendly service and follow up. During a very busy time they were able to take me in as a new customer and get my car back the next day. Appreciated their great customer service.
ABS always does a great job at a fair price. I highly recommend them.
Awesome shop. I just got an inspection here and the people were really trustworthy and from what I could tell from other customers there they were good at finding issues and really reasonable fixing them. Im a lady but my dad was a mechanic and I was in engineering in the navy so its painful for me to go to shops and know how deceitful theyre being to me because of how I look. This shop has none of that and I would definitely come back if I needed work done.
Great job! Just drove 29 year old Toyota pickup truck 2500 miles from Virginia to Arizona with no troubles at all! Too bad I wont be around to use their services anymore!
Got needed maintenance on my car including new tires and struts along with some general maintenance and a tune-up. My car is now 17 years old and ABS has been taking care of her since I bought her and she still runs great. The latest maintenance makes her feel like shes brand new. Great job!
High integrity, they always go above and beyond and the staff is as professional as can be. Honored to do business with ABS.
I took my car to ABS for repair work and they were great to work with. They helped with getting information to my insurance company and kept me updated on the work being done. I highly recommend them!
This was the first time I use ABS. I researched via online. They had great reviews. For the past 15 years, I have always used Pohanka Lexus / Chantilly for my maintenance needs. Lately, Lexus service managers are always trying to upsell additional services. I simply have lost trust in them providing accurate diagnosis. I decided to try a different auto repair service. Pohanka Lexus had quoted a price of $1360 for the same repair I just had completed at ABS for $560. Less than half price!! The entire team at ABS was extremely ethical, professional and the repair was timely.
This shop is the best kind of auto repair place: theyre honest and trustworthy and very reasonably priced. Ive taken my car here for routine maintenance and brake work over the last year and have never left disappointed. I cant recommend ABS highly enough!
ABS Unlimited quickly helped me when I was in a bind with my car. They were helpful, fair, friendly, and knowledgeable. Id highly recommend this business to anyone in town looking for an honest mechanic.
They are extremely helpful and professional. Awesome group to work with!
Trey and the team are the real deal! Great service and most of all great people! They took care of my 67 GTO like it was theirs
I took two vehicles in for front end alignments and both were done on time and drove like new again. I have always been happy with the work ive had done with ABS over the years. Highly recommend.
These guys are pros. My truck kept overheating they figured it out fixed and got me back on the road in a day. Really appreciate them getting it done even when things are so busy.
Excellent professional service! In out state inspection!
Came here after being referred by a friend as a place that I can trust. As I was approaching the front desk after walking in for the first time, there was a man raving to the owner how awesome the shop had treated him and now hes a customer for life.Nice to know theres still a small shop around thats not looking to rip you off, and instead treat you right.The service I received was top notch and the price was great too. They were happy to help educate me and were patient as well.
Everyones looking for an honest mechanic. Well you found one here at ABS. Been going here for small and larger jobs. They are able to tell you what the problem is and fix it, no more no less. If they find something else, it will be because its actually the problem and not some phantom issue (in my case, wheel bearings, tire issues) Fair prices for quality work. What more could you ask for?
Received excellent service from David who diagnosed the repairs needed and completed the work in an excellent manner. He installed and balanced all new tires. I recommend ABS for any car service.
Amazing customer experience and high quality work. Will always bring all my vehicles here for the best auto care in the Northern Virginia area.
Great place for parts for used or new ...I enjoyed the people for their politeness and laugh.....I will get parts again again
They did my car inspection very quickly. Trey was very helpful and friendly. The place is nice and clean.
Friendly staff, great service, reasonable price. We will definitely use ABS for our future service needs.
Simply the best! ABS takes care of your car and does a great job. Worth the drive from anywhere! Take your care to ABS today! Great communication during the repair make ABS a go to repair shop for all makes and models.
ABS has been our go-to for everything automotive for the past 6 years, and we have never had a single issue or even minor complaint with any of the service we have received. This is a top-rate shop who we trust completely.
Mechanic suggested I go to the dealership as they thought there was an extended warranty on the faulty part. They were correct and saved me $1000.
I have been using them for decades. They are terrific!
Always professional and friendly. Clearly explain what needs to be addressed, timing and costs involved and listens to our questions and concerns. I would recommend them to anyone that asked me!
I don’t normally submit reviews. When I do, it’s usually for bad service. Its a pleasure to have an opportunity to report an enjoyable experience.I’ve been to a few garages in the area and have not been satisfied with any of the service I’ve received. I wanted to avoid previous experiences. Thus, I approached ABS after doing a lot of research in advance. I have to admit, I had a great experience.I had the joy of working with Charlie, the service advisor. I had thought the fan clutch needed to be replaced since the coolant temperature was running high. Charlie advised against the work, suggesting a wait and see attitude. He was right, the timing belt maintenance required the replacement of the coolant thermostat. That work seems to have solved the higher temperature problem.I am grateful that I’ve come across a place that I can trust. I would recommend ABS to other folks who are looking for a reputable auto shop.
Went for an oil change + inspection needed to be done. I had a lightbulb out and they wanted to charge me $400 to replace it (not exaggerating). Went to an auto parts store and it was $10 for a part plus took me 5 min to replace it myself. Guy at the auto parts store said its businesses like these that give good mechanics bad names. So theyll get the job done but youll get ripped off fyi
Engine was replaced on an 18 year old Ford. Runs great. Price was fair. Staff was excellent.
Took my Honda CR-V to ABS for a second opinion on some repairs that a Honda dealer said I needed. Turned out front brakes replacement was the only one that they recommended. The rest were either unnecessary or not immediately necessary. Everything about ABS impressed me, from the cleanliness of the garage and waiting room, to everyone who worked there. I got the impression that the techs genuinely care and enjoy working there. I can see why Christy is the backbone of ABS; she is knowledgeable, competent, and just a very nice human being. We need more people like her! ABS has a customer for life. Never going back to the Honda dealer. I told my daughter to take her Honda to ABS also.
Absolutely the best service and attention to detail. I cant give abs unlimited enough praise. I accidently put gas in diesel tank so we were stranded. They got my truck straight in Monday morning, and was back on the road to Texas that eve.
This is our go-to car place. Have been going for years and wouldnt even consider going anywhere else! From oil changes to new tires, ABS is our trustest source for anything for both our vehicles. My husband who only ever took his Jeep to the dealership now only takes it to ABS. Kristie & Charlie are amazing!!!!
Had leaking power steering fluid and they were able to diagnose over the phone and give a rough estimate. Additional work was required to do the job but final total cost still much less than half of what the dealer estimated. Seems to be trustworthy and like supporting local small business. Will definitely return for future service needs.
Probably the best customer service I have ever received getting my car fixed. They didnt over charge me. Could have easily lied about what the issue was but were very honest. They made me feel like I made the right choice to go here every step of the way. Inspection, oil change, and check engine light reset.
Frankly speaking I choose to go to ABS Unlimited Auto Repair because of Google Review and Yelp feedback. Due to the covid19, I contacted the workshop by email and Tim was very responsive and managed to give an estimated quotation and it was a reasonable cost. The staff are warm and friendly. It feels more like family business rather than a big company. They also gave a labor discount which I appreciated it so much. So far I am happy with the results, nothing to complain so far.
Good service and friendly staff.
I took my car here for brake pads they looked at my car seen it didnt need pads and then didnt charge me anything hard to find a shop thatll do that these guys are getting all my business!
Very nice work and nice explainable staff.
First rate service. Complete analysis.
Professional, friendly service and reasonable prices.
ABS Unlimited Auto Repair is the best auto repair shop in Fairfax! The mechanics do excellent work and can fix anything! They are reasonable and fair and always give a labor discount. ABS is old school. Unlike the overpriced dealerships, ABS works on older cars with no problem and they give them the same attention as newer cars. ABS will also hook you up and provide recommendations for good local shops that can provide specialized work such as autobody repairs, auto upholstery, etc. Every time I ask them for a referral I am totally pleased with the shops they refer me too. I love the great staff at ABS too - everyone is so friendly and laid back! As I said before, ABS is old school! They do all the work on our two old cars and a pickup and they keep them on the road. You can trust their work and any recommendations they make for what your vehicle needs. I will never go elsewhere!
Took the time and effort to fix it correctly! Always friendly and cooperative.
The staff are professional and they take of business. They aim to repair your vehicle the right way and have excellent warranty on their parts and labor.
I brought my car in for an exhaust repair, an inspection and emissions testing. My car was finished in about 6 hours and the service throughout the process was above and beyond what i expected. I will be using them instead of my usual service from now on!
Quick & efficient for a state inspection.
Great, fast service, quick turnaround. No issues whatsoever.
Fantastic and friendly service! I shopped around for quite a while to find an auto repair shop that I can trust, and Im happy to report that I come to these folks for all my car needs. Cant rate them highly enough! A big thanks to all the staff.
I manage a cleaning company which has over 20 cars in its fleet. We werent happy with the location that serviced our cars. One day I decided to walk into ABS and start a new relationship with them and boy am I glad I did. They are very transparent on what your car needs they work with us in days we need emergency services and really come thru for us. Christy at the front desk always has a smile and eager to help. The level of customer service provided by everyone is exceptional. I highly recommend you using them. They really go out of their way to help you. Have truly surpass my expectation.
Ive been dealing with ABS for years, and this is the ONLY shop I recommend to friends. Strictly professional, no hidden costs, no surprises. They always call before proceeding and discuss all of the issues and all of the options. This wasnt my experience with other shops.My most recent experience with ABS was for work on the power steering assembly. It got complicated because they ran into an issue with work previously done at a dealership for a factory recall involving parts that had failed again in the same assembly.Not only did they go to bat for me with the dealership and get the failed parts covered under warranty, they handed me a bill substantially under the original estimate. Once again, Im happy to have found them.I want to mention that everyone Ive referred there has come away happy as well.
ABS auto helped me during this pandemic and made feel very reassured as they helped to fix my vehicle and ensured it was good for its emissions. They offered to pick up my vehicle from my home and delivered it back to me once fixed up. It was great door to door service. Thank you!
I am new to the area, and was looking to get my Lexus fixed. I always had my cars fixed by family owned auto companies and had this preference while I was looking around. ABS stood out to me as the best in the area. Christie was very professional and sweet when I asked her questions. The repairs were crazy fast and service was top-notched. It was my first of many visits. Forever ABS.
Each time I have taken my car in for servicing, I have been pleased with every aspect of our interactions. The work was done professionally, expeditiously and at a fair price. I give them my highest recommendation.
Got an alignment for my lifted truck. Price was good. Truck drives so much better after alignment. Hopefully the alignment stay good.
Always professional and friendly service.
ABS is top notch. They provide excellent and honest service. Ive never felt I paid too much.
When I was visiting this shop for regular state inspection, I was able to ask the estimate for four tires installation including balance & mount, also wheel alignment for my 2011 535i. The estimate was reasonable for me, good price than any other places at least with my research.After tire installation and wheel alignment done. I drove on the road,However, I clearly noticed the steering wheel was bit off set to left about -1° . I went back to the shop and explained. then the mechanic took my car back and adjusted something which I dont know what he did. He was so quick to do this. And he just told me this type of electronic steering is sometime hard to set the center of the steering.Anyway, that was not a big deal at the point.After couple of weeks later, I noticed car starts to shake at 55+ mph even on very smooth paved road. I got new tires, new balanced and alignment. But it shakes and bothers me too much.With my research, I though it was possible the brake rotor or pad issue since it was time to replace anyway.So I went to other Euro shop for the brake and mentioned the shaking. We thought its from wheel bearings damaged. I confirmed to replace the wheel bearing if needed.After long time diagnose, All 4 tires were all bad balancing.This was possible issue when I noticed very early when it started shaking. Right after I found the shaking, I went to dealership right away but dealership asked me for $100 for re-balancing them. So I skipped to do it, also I didnt want to believe it was bad balances because I just have done it.However, today we found it while doing the brakes, and all of them were the failed balances.I dont know if they found the wheel specification with VIN, but 5 series has few more options for performance, such as front and rear tires are two different sizes.I dont blame this shop. But the mechanic who installed and mounted my tires was not good as any other ones. Because of...1) steering wheel was not corrected after wheel alignment.2) tire balances were not corrected - heavy shaking at 60+ mph3) found scratches from wheels (while alignment kit attached)4) found scratches from hub caps (probably he didnt know how to remove them)I have alignment record for before & after, I might need the wheel alignment again for better result.1 stars is still too much, but its okay because I decided this shop at my fault.
Great service as always. Thank you, Tim and the entire team at ABS.
Thank you, Charlie and your ABS team! My car wasn’t starting and I had to get my battery replaced as well as other things. I also had a seatbelt buckle issue which we figured I’d have to have the manufacturer look into but was pleasantly surprised when I got my car back, my seatbelt was fixed at no additional expense to me! I was touched by this surprise fix (they didn’t even mention it when I picked up the car). You all saved me a trip to my dealership and prevented me from spending more money! ABS folks are humble, hard working and have great attention to detail. Highly recommend them and definitely returning if I have anymore car issues!
They did a great job figuring out my power steering issue that had an unusual problem and fixed it at reasonable cost. I had already flushed the fluid and put in a new reservoir so I knew what it couldnt be but they found a faulty o-ring and after that fix things were much better. They gave me an option to spend a lot more to also get a whole new power steering pump but couldnt guarantee it would make things that much better and I appreciated their honesty. I certainly knew that it was possible the pump could be bad with it running under low pressure.
Friendly and honest. Ive been going to them for years and theyve been consistently honest and helpful. They were unable to diagnose a problem with my last car but highly recommend for oil changes, emissions, check-ups, and other regular maintenance needs.
Quality work done on time at a good price! As usual, no attempts to fix things that werent broken. ABS Unlimited Auto repair continues to have my trust!
Excellent maintenance at a quality price. Always backed up with honest and prompt communication. I usually do all my own maintenance but on occasion I get short on time. When that happens I only call one place and ABS has never let me down!! Highly recommended!!!
I found ABS through AAA. They were recommended by AAA & had great reviews online. They did not disappoint! The last time my husband took the car in to the dealership, they recommended a ton of work that the car didnt need. My husband passed away in January & Ive been dreading taking the car in. I know better than to use a dealership but also know theres a lot of disreputable shops out there. I had budgeted about $2,000 but ABS didnt find any reason to do 90% of what the dealership told my husband. After all the basic maintenance, state inspection, & 2 front tires, I came in at about 1/4 of what I budgeted. At no point was there a high-pressure up-sell. I had the experience Ive always hoped to have from an auto repair shop. Theyve definitely earned my business from now on.
Dave is a skilled and honest mechanic. I will definitely use ABS again!
Easy to schedule work. Fair prices. Friendly employees. The only place I take my truck for needed repairs/service.5/4/2020 update - As usual scheduling an appointment was quick and easy, they called me when they found two minor items in the 20-point inspection (tag light out and battery connections corroded, making the connections weaker), added those items to the list of work and vehicle still ready when promised. Price was very reasonable! They even helped me figure out why my radio quit working at no extra cost. Thanks for the consistent great work!1/26/2021 Update - Took my truck in for an oil change and during the free battery check they noticed that my battery was not putting out adequate voltage. The last time they told me this happened almost 5 years ago during another free battery check. I told them I would wait because to me everything was working fine. I ended up having a dead battery on a holiday a few days later when not much was open. So, having learned my lesson from that experience, I had them change my battery. Now no worries about a dead battery when I go to start my truck :-)They always give recommendations for maintenance work but NEVER push to have it done right away unless they truly believe that it is an urgent problem. Appreciate their honesty, trustworthiness and reliability - will never use anyplace else for my auto repairs and maintenance.
Tim did an amazing job diagnosing and repairing my convertible top. The dealer wanted me to replace the motor. Tim Identified the problem and instead of a more that $2000 repair bill, he fixed it for $600. Thanks!
Friendly and professional. Great communication.
Tim did a fantastic job diagnosing and fixing a problem with my soft-top convertible when many Nissan “Service” shops couldn’t. I will be using ABS again and highly recommend them.
ABS Unlimited is AMAZING!!! The staff was very professional and honest. I called to see if I could get an assessment on my car that was running poorly and I got just what I asked for. I dropped it off on Sunday and they called me on Monday with the assessment. The price was fair and the work was FANTASTIC!!! I would definitely recommend and use again without a doubt. Thank you ABS and Charlie.
Ive been a customer for years. They do a great job communicating, work quickly, and I have not had any issues with repairs or work. Very friendly staff. Prices are fair. Would recommend.
Abs repaired and serviced my 2010 Volvo XC60 and I was impressed by their thoroughness and professional repairs. Will definitely use them for any future repairs. Thanks Charley and Tim
All of my experiences have been great. The one thing you should focus on: dont get in the interior of somebodys car without a mask and gloves. I appreciate your offering disinfectant afterwards, but whoever is driving the car should be wearing protection (for you, as well as for us).
Perfect interaction. Did everything we asked. Nice clean and professional place. I would recommend!
I took my car to the dealer x3 times and they couldnt fix the engine light problem. ABS made it happen and Tim did a great job keeping me informed during the repair. Ill be going back to ABS for all my automotive repairs !
I have been bringing my car to ABS Unlimited for over twenty years and they have always done a great job! They make reasonable and needed recommendations for maintenance and the work is top notch. I highly recommend them for car service.
Where do I began,I have 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. I went to the locate dealership to diagnose a issue which I was very upset about because I just had my truck serviced. The dealer first told me it was the water pump and it was cost 1200.00 to replay…. After saying driving back to the dealer to schedule the work to be done… the Dealership service told me it was the Radiator and it actually cost $2000.00 estimate to repair. Needless to say, …they received some chose words from me. I place the specs on Yelp and ABS Unlimited respond. I am not from the area so I thought a smaller shop with up the price and prolong the work..right? WRONG! ABS not only gave me a fair estimate, but the estimate was actual a few dollars below the initial estimate… They correctly diagnosed the issue very quickly and the cost was half the price of the dealership. Tim, Charles or Christi we both upfront about everything and in touch with me for any major decision. ABS is a genuine hard-working business that take pride in their work. I was so impressed that came back to have my brakes down. Again, I sent the specs (scope of work) on yelp and they are the best cost and best service.ABS is my family’s auto service and repair shop… Save yourself the time and money .. ABS All the Way!
Clearly had our best interests in mind. Great business!
Fantastic work. Had a lift big enough for our rig. Performed a tire rotation (after market XD tires) and an alignment. Quick, Easy, Simple. Just the way it should be.
Charlie and team were amazing. First time visiting and they were friendly, quick, honest and easy to work with. Would highly recommend!
They definitely deserve your business. I have never been treated so well at an auto repair shop before. Charlie gave me a play by play of everything going on with my car, and gave me estimates along the way. This is how a good business should be run. I appreciate the effort they put into repairing my car, especially since I am from out of state. It was a pleasure working with the friendly staff as well.
Informative and useful report supplied.
I was referred by Jose of Collision Specialist of Fairfax to see ABS Unlimited on a lug nut problem I had on my tires. When I walked in the shop, the lady manning the front desk greeted me courteously and she called Charlie who I spoke to regarding my tire issues and right away he took my keys and told me to give him 30 minutes. I sat down and waited. The waiting room is clean, comfortable and nice with TV, some games and other amenities. Charlie came back before 30 minutes was over and handed me my car keys and told me I was all set. My tire lug nut problem was all fixed. They are so professional, trustworthy and nice people there, very highly recommended indeed. I will take this opportunity to thank Charlie again and everyone there in ABS Unlimited, thank you.
Great service!
I was initially led to this shop by it’s volume of great online reviews. Going to the mechanic is one of those things that is necessary from time to time, like going to the doctor, and in a similar way, you may know little about the mechanics of cars and so can be, if you’re not careful, “taken to the cleaners.” It was my first time coming to this shop, and Kristy at the counter was awesome, empathetic, and helpful. Not only did they complete the work on my car the same day in time for a birthday road trip a couple days later I was a bit stressed about, but she took the time to explain what the car issue was, the parts warranty, and even offered their assistance in checking the air in my tires whenever I’m in the neighborhood. I may not be that high maintenance, but I really appreciated the sincerity of the offer seconded by the owner. I wasn’t expecting that level if hospitality and transparency, but it’s obvious now why this family business basically has a 5 star rating from all their customers. They seem like good people. Nicely done and thanks so much!
The great reviews were not wrong, they were very efficient and honest, 100% recommend and I will be back! Also I live in Maryland but you don’t see too many places that do a great job like ABS.
I had been experiencing a rattling coming from my back axel for over 2 years and no repair shop could determine the source. ABS pinpointed exactly what was wrong the very first visit, and replaced the necessary parts 2 days later when I was able to bring it back. Excellent customer service, fair and transparent prices. Highly recommend this auto repair shop!
Ive been coming to ABS for 20 years because they always do a great job at a fair price and never try to up sell me for repairs I dont need.
Friendly staff and highly skilled. What I appreciated the most was the time they took to explain what they did to my car and future repairs that I might need. No pressure or scare tactics to get additional immediate repairs. Just things to keep an eye on.
Changed brake fluid and balanced wheels - now my car goes 80+ mph with no shake. Brake fluid was 14yo and was due. Well done.
ABS Unlimited is the place to go if you want all your automotive needs taken care of cheaply and totally. End to end coverage they are the best. Ive been to many companies over the years and they really are outstanding and Im not just saying that. The dogs name is razor. The girl at the front desk is Christy. That is all you need to know. They will keep your car running ship shape, honest engine.
I recommend ABS to all my friends and relatives-theyve taken very good care of my cars over the years.
Great quality service with honest reliability. I never feel that I am being sold something that I don’t need or tricked into unnecessary expenses. They truly value doing what is right and taking care of the customer. Thanks guys.
Ive worked on my own cars for years and have had spotty experience with getting work done by shops in the area. I gave ABS a try with a suspension job and they did not let me down. They have been super-easy to work with every time. They are price competitive. Ive had my car back there 2 or 3 times now for other work and will continue to recommend them.Returned for more work a few months later --- same quality service,. I love these folks.
Great service, professional and courteous. Would recommend them for any of your car care needs.
I took my car to ABS for the first time this week, and they were phenomenal. Very friendly, clear and consistent communication, willing to help and further explain recommendations. Most importantly patient in understanding that your car being in the shop is stressful! They have earned my customer loyalty with out a doubt, and my car needed extensive repairs.
I have used this shop a couple of times and I have not been disappointed. Prices are fair and the work is excellent. No tricks. Tell you what the problem is and how much to fix it and thats it. No hidden add ons or cross selling. You know what I mean :) Will continue to use as my go to garage.
