“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”
“Amarjit Singh is a pleasure to deal with, and everyone at Exxon is courteous and kind. The mechanics are quick and will explain everything patiently. Our family has come here for inspection and repair for over 15 years and everything is always amazing.”
“Bau and Ali are superb. They know almost immediately what the problem is and recommend the best solution and at a great price. I’ve taken all my cars to them after purchase. It’s the go to place for repairs and maintenance.”
“Nice staff, they were really packed when I first brought my car and told me to come back the following day. Took them all day to get to it, but I'm happy with the work.”
“Good conscientious service. Very reasonable to protect you vehicle to be updated to manage costs. I drive a 2002 Toyota Echo that is clean car?. I frequently drive 600 to 1200 miles quarterly iand am relatively comfortable with the reliability with my Toyota.”
“Customer service was outstanding! Jim, the service manager, was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Oakton Auto Service Center for anyone needing any type of maintenance on their vehicle.”
“Quick, honest, and professional customer service. Good clear communications to get the jobs done (had window+brake light fixed) within 2 hours without appointment”
“We have an excellent experience with Salam’s auto service. He is highly efficient and handled everything in a timely manner without cutting corners. His professionalism really stood out. What impressed me most was how reliable he is. You can truly count on him to deliver quality service every time. On top of that, the pricing was very reasonable, which made the whole experience even better.
If you’re looking for a reliable auto service that is efficient, professional, and fairly priced, I highly recommend Salam.”
“Had a GREAT RV inspection at Mini T's garage. Conveniently located across from PWC fairgrounds, and the offer all kinds of services. Think Ill give em a shot!”

“Rapid response to engine light! Anticipated other issues my car will have over the next few months, e.g. rotating tires, and I will be back for that! Such a courteous, no-pressure staff. Thank you!”
“I visited this morning for my car inspection and i got impressed! The place just started doing inspections on Sundays, and the inspector Amin was very professional, Friendly and helpful. He even offered me free coffee while I waited. The sitting area was clean and comfortable, and the staff were all very friendly. I really recommend this place , great service and great people!”
“Long overdue review. This is the shop I recommend to family and friends. Sandy and Paul are honest, professional, and affordable. I am a car guy and would not trust anyone else to work on my or my family's car.”
“Top notch customer service and shop. Went in for routine oil change and due to a unforeseen mix up, my wait time was a little delayed. For waiting a little longer than expected, they comped the entire oil change. Definitely found my go to shop!”
“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.”
“Aaron is very helpful and friendly. He doesn’t try to rip off customers — instead, he thinks from the customer’s perspective and gives honest opinions. I definitely recommend him and believe he deserves more than 5 stars!”
“I came here for a state inspection while my regular mechanic was on vacation. Didn't know what to expect but was VERY pleasantly surprised! Amazing customer service, prompt service, and very friendly on the phone. Highly recommend! Thank you!”

“This auto shop is fantastic. This is my go-to place for maintenance and repairs. Oil changes, tire replacements, VA inspection, everything to keep my 2009 Honda running safely. They’re always honest with me, no extra fees, no over selling things I don’t need. Yoon is a great mechanic, super knowledgeable and resourceful. His team is also skillful and fast. Thank you for always keeping my car on check.”
“I have been going to this Shell station for several years and I am impressed with the kind and friendly manager and staff. The store and pump areas are always clean and well maintained. It's nice to be greeted by friendly people!”
“They recently remodeled this Fairfax location and it’s a game changer! They added more gas pumps, so the lines move much faster now and wait times have dropped significantly. Getting in and out is so much smoother than before. Highly recommend if you want cheap gas without the long wait! Five stars.”

“Very helpful techs. Sometimes there is a bit of wait but that is worth it. I have always found the staff to be very supportive and generally understand their clients’ needs.”
“Since additional pumps have been installed, the lines are not so bad. The staff is available and always there to help out. The price is also one of the best in town.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“I came here because a nail got stuck in my rear left tire and Khan did a fantastic job!! 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”
“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!”
