Curry’s Auto Service

I had to replace all 4 tires on my Lexus, so my husband ordered them off the internet, made the appointment with Curry’s and had them delivered there for installment. Although I had to wait a little longer than anticipated, when I took the car in, they did an outstanding job! For almost 2 years I have been complaining to Lindsay Lexus about a strong jerking motion my car made when the wheels were turned all the way, (backing out of a driveway for example) and for two years they have been telling me that «this was normal» with the model of car… this never seemed right to me, but I’m not the expert so I believed them. Curry’s staff installed the tires and did an alignment, telling me that the front wheels didn’t need aligning but that the back ones did. Guess what happened, the jerking motion disappeared! It was that simple! Thank you Curry guys! You’ve won my business, and Lindsay Lexus shame on you!

Took more car here a couple times:
1^st experience — Took my car for an oil change. Made an appointment, took about 30 minutes and was in and out.
2^nd experience — Took my car in for an oil change. The next day my engine was smoking from a cracked radiator. Curry’s assured me that nothing they did could have caused the damage. I was very skeptical since nothing had ever been wrong with the radiator before that day.
3^rd experience — Took my car in for a wheel alignment. Everything else about the car seemed to be fine. They told me I needed $ 1,500 worth of work. Got the alignment done and priced out the work from another mechanic. The other mechanic told me I only needed to get one of the suggestions done for $ 100.
4^th experience — Took my car in to get my brakes checked since they were squeaking. Curry’s did not find anything that was causing the squeaking (so I drove it home with squeaking breaks). On the way home it sounded like there was loose 2×4’s in my trunk. Curry’s negligently did not tighten the bolts on my car, and luckily did not cause additional damage or an accident. Took it back the next day for them to fix.
Needless to say, this place sucks! They are either terrible at their jobs or actively negligent.

In the past, I’ve only seen a «diagnosis fee» charged if they determine the cause of your problem but you don’t get the repair done. Now they charge you $ 131 just to look at it on top of the repair which in this case turned out to be 20% of the bill. Then they committed my biggest pet peeve which is not making the car «customer ready» before handing me the keys. The car was left unlocked (being next to the DMV is not the safest of locations) and the cover for the diagnosis «computer» connection was left off, laying in the cup holder. Other places vacuum your car and give it a complimentary wash, but I at least expect my car to be secured and all the parts put back.

Just a state inspection on my 2-​year-​old Prius. No problems, friendly service, completed in the estimated time.

Friendly service. Good coupons. Comfortable place to sit and wait for your car. Shout out to Donny for being very honest, helpful, and knowledgeable. I took my car here for safety inspection, oil change, alignment.

If I could write this in blood and tears, I would. These people are the biggest buncha scamming jerks I’ve met in an industry pretty full of scamming jerks. Went in for an inspection and walked out with a fail sticker and 300 dollar estimate to fix a broken wiper, two lights and the check engine light being on. Went to auto zone and got wiper blade and bulbs for about 30 bucks and fixed it myself… shoulda cut my losses and taken it elsewhere to get the check engine thing looked into but I didn’t. I could go on, but when these guys charged me about 200 bucks just to diagnose the problem (which I did NOT agree to) and an bill upwards of 500 bucks to fix it. Took my business about a block away and got a more affordable estimate and an actual explanation of the problem.
If you enjoy wasting money and taken for a fool, by all means, take your car to curry. Otherwise, read the reviews – even the not recommended ones. You’ll see a lot of people set up Unilocal accounts just to warn others about the price-​gouging, dishonest practices here. AVOID!!!

I’ve been going to Curry’s as long as I have lived in the area. Since they switched ownerships to Mr Tire their service has degraded immensely. They’ve misdiagnoses my vehicles numerous times and given me really high quotes. This last one broke the camel’s back. I was told I needed new brakes and was quoted at $ 600. I took it to another place for a second opinion and was told that the car had a brake leak and should not even been driving the vehicle! So much for their safety check promise. Fail! Never going back to Curry’s!

A bunch of dishonest unethical crooks. Avoid this place like the black plague! They’ll claim that a bunch of things are wrong with your car when in reality it’s not. Getting a second opinion will save you hundreds! Claimed that I needed $ 2000.00 worth of work. Complete and utter BS! I ended up taking it to Auto Stop down the road and only paid a quarter of the price.

Moved to the area a few years ago and needed a new place to go for auto service and found Curry’s. I have to say, I got lucky. They have taken care of me and are always willing to work with you. Now they do all my car care and inspections.

This place is very dishonest. We stopped in to get a quote for new tires on an old car. There were three people standing at the counter, all three ignored us while we stood there (not even a HELLO) then a manager came out and said «one of these people will help you» it was very strange. We said we’d like the cheapest tire our size. Then they quoted us $ 156 A TIRE. $ 156 for ONE tire. We left. I thought this price was totally absurd. So I went home went on their website and saw they had «IN STOCK TODAY» at THAT location a $ 79 tire. SHADY and very dishonest.

I was once did oil change at Gainesville location but this one really sucks bad… walked-​in about ‘1230p on saturday and guy said wait is about one hour but WRONG! almost 1 hr &½…total disappointed… went to work late… next time if u walk-​in give at least 2 HOURS! Other wise they did oil change wheel rotations for $ 40 which isn’t that bad… labour charges apply though…

I took my car into Curry’s Auto to have it looked at as I had a few concerns over my car’s performance. After waiting around for an hour or so, the technician came back with a detailed report of what he found. He was very nice and helped answer any questions I had. He didn’t pressure me to make a decision and just told me what he would recommend.
After thinking things over, I decided to hold off making any repairs at the time and said I would think about it. After asking how much it was cost for the quote, the manager said not to worry about it. That meant a lot to me as I know «time is money» for shops like that.
If I do decide to have the repairs done, I’ll be bringing it back to them. I would definitely recommend them to a friend.

This place is waaaaay over priced for what it is. $ 60 to put on a tire? Another 60 to take 1 wheel lock off — dealership charges $ 25 for all 4!

They tried to charge me $ 130 diagnostics fee to pull a check engine light code that I already pulled with my own scan tool and provided. Even worse, the «diagnostic» fee did not even apply towards the work.
The issue was a simple fix for a Toyota Prius that Toyota already has a TSB for.
Just another typical independent mechanic shop trying to take advantage of unsuspecting customers.
Stay away.

I’ve received perfect service from Curry’s Auto on several occasions since moving to Arlington two years ago. The staff is super friendly, communicates extremely well and works every repair until it is fully completed — whether that means ordering OEM parts from Germany or advising on which maintenance items can be deferred. When one complex repair malfunctioned unexpectedly, they comped the tow back to their shop and both diagnosed AND fixed the problem without charge. Some reviews suggest a quality decline, but that’s not been my experience in the slightest. I’d rather bring my cars to Curry’s for service than any auto dealer I’ve ever used.

Kinda of new to the area, again, after living elsewhere for 22 years and moving back. I went here to get 4 tires mounted and balanced that I had purchased online from the tire rack. I choose this place based of the reviews here and it’s a tire rack recommended shop.
My experience was: I made the appointment, brought the car in and they did the job. Prices were listed before hand so I knew what to expect. I asked to save one of the tires as it was in unusually good condition, at least compared to the other three. That saved me $ 5 on the disposal fee and made me $ 30 on ebay.
The negative: Doing the job right is a solid 3 star rating in my book. All was fine up until exit. Uhm your steering is making funny sounds, recommend replacing. And here’s the estimate for labor to clean off the engine so we can find where the leak is coming from. Really, the steering is perfect. Maybe they are unfamiliar with cars of the 21^st century that have electric power steering, as mine does. An hour labor to clean the engine to find a leak that is putting out a drop of oil a month. I probably polluted the environment more just by burning the gas it took to drive to shop and back. Both my cars average 34 – 38 MPG.
The bottom line: Average auto repair shop. Didn’t need «to start thinking» about other possible work than the job assigned.

Great service with great work! My car rides so much smoother after break work! They Manager David Rogers was particularly friendly and helpful. They get a ton of business so if you need to get your car serviced on a Saturday make sure to make an appointment.

Just got back from having new tires mounted on my 2001 BMW z3 Coupe, and was not at all satisfied.
This car has different size tires and rims in the front and rear. They mixed up the rims and tires which I discovered when I got home. Went back the same day to have it fixed. Hopefully, they got it right the second time.
They messed up the rims while mounting the tires. I may need to spend several hundred dollars to repair and paint them.
The mechanic drove the front of the car over the curb and scraped the underside.
July 15: Curry’s manager David and I agreed to split the cost of professional touch-​up painting of all four rims.
July 16: Found all tires were low on air — about 8 pounds. Filled to recommended pressure. Steering wheel vibration at around 45 mph indicates wheels weren’t balanced.
July 30: Submitted estimate for repair of rims.
August 12: Curry’s has neither contacted me nor paid for repairs.

Crooks. Criminals. These guys deserve an appearance on Rossen Reports or something. If I could give them ZERO stars, I would.
I brought in my Nissan Murano for a standard VA State safety inspection. I was surprised to learn that it had failed inspection, but SHOCKED to see a bill for $ 1500 for the repairs that would bring it back into compliance. They claimed there was a leak in the steering fluid pump, and it had to be replaced, as well as one of the steering control hubs. I knew that there was some shenanigans going on, so I paid my $ 16 and left with the big REJECTION sticker.
I went down the street to another shop, paid another $ 16 for another inspection, and wouldn’t you know it? NOTHING! It passed with flying colors. The guy said he knew about Curry’s and wasn’t surprised that they’d tried to jack me.
Never again. Take my advice and drive on by.

Overall a good experience for an auto repair shop.
I needed to get my tires changed, so i ordered 4 tires from Tire Rack to be delivered to Curry’s. Once i place my order i called to let them know that they will be arriving and wanted to schedule an appointment to have the tires installed.
Unfortunately, the person i spoke to explained that they do not like to make appointments until the shipment arrived. He explained that i would have to call in and check and see if they’ve come and then schedule an appointment. I thought the least they could do is schedule a tentative date. Nonetheless i had to call and confirm that the tires arrive.
The guy on the phone was helpful in scheduling something the next day. Granted the times offered were in the middle of the work day, but i wanted to get this over with so, i scheduled for 2 p.m. on a Weds. Had my tires installed, oil changed, and alignment check.
The process did take a bit longer than they originally estimated. They said couple of hours, it really took them 4 hours to complete the job. That’s a lot wait. They did a good job in finishing everything up and were friendly throughout.
