“I rarely write reviews, but I had such a positive experience at Anderson Sunoco Gas Station & Auto Repair in Arlington, VA that I had to share. I want to give a huge shout-out to Victor, who went above and beyond to help me with my car. He was not only knowledgeable and efficient but also incredibly honest — which, as many of us know, is not always easy to find in auto repair.
Victor took the time to explain everything clearly, gave me honest advice about what really needed to be done (and what didn’t), and made sure I left feeling confident and taken care of. There was no pressure, no upselling, just genuine help and great service.
If you're looking for a place that’s trustworthy, professional, and treats you like a valued customer, I highly recommend Anderson Sunoco. Victor is the real deal — thank you again!”

“I stopped in on thursday on my way home from pennsylvania, going to north carolina. Next thing, my tire pressure was down. I was in a panic and pulled in to this station. Turns out, I ran over a big piece of metal. The two gentlemen, we're so nice and efficient.I don't even know what to say!!!!! I had my three teenage girls with me, and we had three hours left to go home. They showed me what was wrong with the tire. He talked to my husband on the phone, and they had me in and out and fifteen minutes and back on the road. Although it was 57 dollars for a patch it was still worth it to me. And it got me home and still holding, losing no tire pressure. These guys could not have been any more nicer. And I had to force them to take a four dollar tip, because it's all the cash I had on me.”
“5 star place to shop actually if I can give them a 10 star I would there very lovely people and their prices are a good price their well behaved and very nice and very helpful I would recommend this place it’s a very nice place to shop!”
“I've been a customer of Salam's for over 5 years and have never has a complaint about his work. He has always been professional, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. He has fixed everything from bodywork to brakes to spark plugs and electrical problems in my car. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable, knowledgeable and affordable mechanic.”
“Been coming here for oil changes and state inspections for many years. Prices for services outside of inspections are what you'd expect. But when it comes to car mechanics, can't put a price on honesty. Very trustworthy people working here. Most of the low star reviews is based on waiting times, which is kind of out of their control.”
“Mimi’s is the best!! It’s impeccably clean and well stocked. Great brands. Whoever shops for the store does a great job. The prepared food is delicious. Everybody is friendly, personable and professional. It’s always a treat to visit Mimi’s. We are lucky to live nearby.”
“The best price & variety of Ethiopian & East Africans spice, very friendly people , secured location with big parking lots in front of the shop.
Highly recommend”
“Good selection of stores to get a bite to eat. Parking is tight on the side near Subway. It’s walking distance from the Huntington Metro station. Clean parking lot with plenty of spaces. Post office is located between 7Eleven and El Rancho restaurant.”
“Every time I use Graham Road Shell for auto service, the experience has been beyond satisfactory. The owner is incredibly kind and runs his business efficiently .The work is above par and I find the prices reasonable. I’ve never had a bad experience so I’ve been a loyal customer for years.”
“17Aug.2022..I was here last yr and no idea why Google maps doesn’t have my review up here. Anyway Class VI is completely stocked at all times and always having some up-to-date new spirits in stock. Absolutely love, love, love this spot for all of my snacks and spirits purchases.”
“Awesome experience getting my inspection done, was quick and informative. Azeem has been super knowledgeable on my vehicles that I’ve brought in for inspection and has always been able to answer my questions thoroughly. Great customer service, will be back!”
“Stopped in this afternoon after reading the sandwich reviews. So many shops get subs wrong and they rocked it. Thin sliced turkey, the right amount of mayo, a nice sharp provolone and a soft roll with the right amount of chew. Anytime a liquor store dedicates floor space for a deli you know the sandwiches are gonna be great. This place did not disappoint. I'll be back for sure.”
“This store lowkey does not pass the vibe check.
TL:DR - Hiring process is crap and annoying to deal with, Hispanic section is good, and their donuts are AMAZING.
Come here AT LEAST for the donuts, fr worth it.
8 of my friends (9 including me) never got any kind of response when we applied to work here, plus the managers always seemed to mysteriously unavailable to be spoken to.
I've literally called the store, got told to call back the next morning, called the next morning, "Manager on vacation" :/
when will they be back? " X date." Thanks so much.
Called back on X date, "She'll be here tomorrow morning" thanks.
Calls back tomorrow morning, "Hi, not here. Call again tomorrow morning."
At which point I came INTO THE STORE to speak with this elusive hiring manager, just to be told that they were on vacation and won't be back for a while.
: )
So suffice to say, hiring process seems messy, outdated, unreliable, and flat out non-functional at times.
The website needs to be updated, the employees need proper customer service training because regardless of what I'm calling about, and who's answering, it's always in a tone that sounds like I might aswell be interrupting a neurosurgeon mid incision.
The only redeeming quality of this store is what it sells, and I'm not talking standard groceries.
Not only does Shoppers have a decent spread of hispanic foods, ingredients, drinks & snacks, but it's also got some of, if not THE BEST donuts you could buy from a store.
The donut chains like Dunkin or Krispy Kreme got nothing on SFW donuts, they got Croissant donuts (Cronuts), marble iced, Holland Creme (my favorite), jam filled, lemon pudding filled, boston creme, and of course all your standard donut types like powdered, brown sugar, plain and glazed, not to even mention some specialty ones they have on occasion like the apple pie filled brown sugar, or marbled icing cronuts.
Plus they're reasonably priced, which automatically raises the rating for me.
(Next I get donuts I'll snap some pictures and add them!)”

“I always come here for my yearly inspections and every time they are reliable and speedy and do a great job. So far I’ve had an alignment done with them and many inspections that were all more than satisfactory. The mechanics here should be recognized for their consistency and great customer service.”

“There is ALWAYS a line of cars fighting for a spot, rudely clogging up the street and making traffic difficult. Why? Because the gas here is almost pre-biden priced. It's at least 50 cents cheaper than anywhere else nearby. No wonder it's always a fight to get in. It would be perfect if the narcissists didn't clog up the streets nearby.”
“Took my car to get new tires installed. EXCELLENT SERVICE! Usman (hope I’m spelling that properly) and the crew did a phenomenal job with the install. Easily the friendliest and most professional mechanic I have ever been to. 100% recommend.”

“I stopped by the Shell gas station in Springfield specifically because it participates in the Upside program, which offers rewards and discounts. Overall, my experience was positive. The gas station was clean and well-maintained, and the attendant was friendly and helpful.
The only drawback was that one of the gas pumps was out of order, which was a minor inconvenience. However, the remaining pumps were functioning properly, and I was able to fill up quickly and easily.
One note to keep in mind is that the gas station's location on a corner can make it a bit tricky to navigate, with three entrances to choose from. However, once you're inside, the station is easy to navigate, and the staff is happy to help with any questions or concerns. Overall, I would still recommend this Shell gas station to anyone in the area, especially if you're an Upside user.”
“I love this place. There are convenient, ready to eat meals and drinks to quench the thirst. The very best thing about Mike's are the people who work there. They are always friendly, helpful and make Mike's a valuable local fixture in the fabric of the Huntington neighborhood. Thanks, you guys!”

“The car wash is out of foam. I wash my car here weekly and last 2 times including today you get no foam. $17 for this car wash and it didn't clean the windshield well.”
“Been going here for over a year now. Have never had a bad experience; the prices are cheap and they’re always friendly and hard working. Very, very convenient as well.”
“I love this place. I can get craft beer and Asian candies at the same spot, and pair it with Belgian lambics. K-1 is a global market to service your refined snacking and drinking needs. They even do postal service and lottery games. Don’t miss out!”
“I have found my new place to get my car fixed. Ivan the mechanic took care of my car. Felt like I had a family member taking care of me. Wonderful experience all around. !!!”
“Convenient (there is a side entrance for those who do not live in the building), big sandwiches made to order, large liquor selections and bit of everything else you might need.”
