“My first visit to this gas station was a pleasant surprise. I stopped by after leaving CVS with my fuel tank running on empty. The station, which I frequently pass by, was surprisingly empty at around 6 pm. Inside, the convenience store had a lovely scent, possibly from incense, and played good music. It was well-stocked, and the area around the gas pumps was well-maintained.The friendly gentleman behind the counter was helpful. I'm definitely returning to this hidden gem. The regular gas was priced at $3.49 per gallon. A great experience!”

“One of the most useful businesses in/near Clifton. Family-owned, fairly priced, and staffed by genuinely good people. They somehow have everything from Doritos, Diet Coke and beer to cat food, horse supplies, shovels, axes and winter ice. If you live nearby, it is easily the most convenient place to pick up the essentials without driving into town. Disregard the negative reviews. These folks are amazing.”

“Just routine state inspection this time but still the same outstanding service I’ve always gotten! Cardinal Shell is our neighborhood go-to spot for great reasonably priced service. They are key to keeping my 20+ year old vehicles in tip top shape! Many thanks and keep up the great service! My 23 yr old CR-V needed annual safety inspection. They found a couple items that needed fixing. Cardinal got me scheduled quickly and were able to reschedule when a last minute change was needed. Service was quick and expert as always despite hot & humid weather. Saved my bacon again! Thanks for the great experience!”

“Walked into the office to ask for an oil change and tire rotation and Ricky provided lots of useful information regarding oil changes and tire rotations as well as the frequency of those. He then went on to discuss some additional automotive stuff that broadened my perspective.”

“This place, Mike & Roger R in particular, were a GIFT from Heaven to my daughter & me. We were half way to North Carolina when my Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland started spewing the most noxious smell. We pulled off at the nearest exit and found the Exxon at 12850 Gordon. Before we even exited our car, the guys were COURTEOUS, WELCOMING, ATTENTIVE, ASSURING & RESPECTFUL & they knew just what to do. Without them, I would have been utterly lost and without knowledge of how to proceed & more importantly what was best for proceeding. They got us taken care of within a FRACTION of what they could have run anyone around for. My daughter and I were beyond grateful to feel truly looked after as if these men were our own family and loved ones. THANK YOU to the entire team. These guys are WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD. So so grateful”

11201 Fairfax Blvd, Fairfax VA 22030
“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.”

“I had read the recent reviews and, honestly, felt a bit hesitant about taking my car there for inspection. However, I went yesterday, and the manager kindly directed me where to park my vehicle. There were only two cars ahead of mine. The inspector was friendly and professional, and the waiting area was clean and organized. I especially want to highlight how clean the restroom was — very few gas stations maintain their facilities that well. When it was time to pay, they even gave me a coupon for my next oil change, which was a very nice touch. I will definitely be coming back for future services. Thank you, Hunters Woods, for the professional and honest service.”
8712 Little River Turnpike, Fairfax VA 22031
“Several years I started going here because it was convenient and it had a good reputation. I am always suspect of auto repair places because it is really hard to tell if someone is feeding you a line in order for you to spend more money. Sayed and his crew have won me over and I implicitly trust what he says! confidently, I recommend him and his team.”
7522 Centreville Rd, Manassas VA 20111
“The inspectors are awesome, sometimes the wait is long but it all depends on what time of the day you get there and how bad your vehicle is. Yes it is very thorough inspection and it takes time, I don't mind it because it is for my family safety. Customers get upset if thats the case find another location.”
11175 Lee Highway, Fairfax VA 22030

This was my first time going to a service by myself without a parent so I was a little nervous but they were so kind and gave me all the information I needed to be able to make the right decision for my car. So thank you!! Definitely would come again if I ever needed anything else”
