James is the best! Fair prices and he does a great job. I was
quoted $250+ for 3 different services from another location and he told me they should fall around $100.

I've been coming here since I moved to Fairfax City in 2000. I think at some point it was high tech Auto, but the only relevant time has been while James has run the show. He's just fantastic. He's paused on expensive work to show me exactly what's wrong, compared part prices, sent me pictures and part details if I wanted to look for the part... Just amazing. One time I was in a real pinch going on a winter trip and my washer fluid spouts were broken. He was SLAMMED busy, but told me where to get the parts and assembled everything as soon as I got back, saving our trip. He helped me pick good cars and told me when to punch out on bad ones. Come here.

the most important thing when it comes in finding a good mechanic is their reliability. too many mechanics overcharge or try to add more services and repairs than necessary. James never does that. he's quick, does a quality job, never upsells, and gives better than fair prices. I recommend him to anyone

James has always been amazing. If anything was remotely expensive he'd either show me or take pictures of what the problem was and discuss various options for resolution. My wife and I both took our vehicles there for years until we got stuck with warranties on our current cars. Using dealerships greatly makes us miss Central auto and James, but we're getting our son a car soon and will be taking it to James immediately.

Highly recommend this shop. James is an amazing and lovely man. I recently took my car into his shop because a Toyota dealership told me that the rear left and right brake lining needs replacement. When I brought my car into Central Auto Service, it turned out that my brake lining was completely fine and did not need a replacement. The only thing that James did was tightening my emergency brake. I saved hundreds of dollars going to Central Auto Service. Thank you so much.

James is a fantastic mechanic and I would highly recommend his shop. I will absolutely return. He went above and beyond, even staying past when his shop closed to change my brakes and fix my sunroof leak. He had very reasonable prices, integrity, and a strong knowledge of cars. Highly recommend this mechanic to anyone in search of a new one.

My new go-to mechanic! It's a hidden gem, hard to find but James was able to accommodate me right away and even threw in a few complimentary services to my oil change. He didn't try to upsell me or try to tell me I need services I know I don't need. Very reasonable priced too.

There are still some honest car repair places in the world and this is one of them. I would highly recommend this business owner, as someone that will give you a true assessment of your issue and will repair your vehicle at a fair price. I have an older Lexus SUV and was tired of paying high dealer repair prices, so this place was the solution. No hesitation recommending this business.Service: General repairs & maintenance
