Pinecrest Exxon

Due to the proximity to my house, I went there for my VA state inspection. After the mechanic went through my car, he’d found a couple of items that needed to be addressed. The problems he pointed out seemed reasonable, except for the rear brake shoes he pointed out. I asked for an itemized list and he said it would be $ 210 for that particular item.
I purchased the rear brake shoes (~$ 55) and went to my personal mechanic. There were no issues with the rear brakes. I went back to PC and told them about my experience. I am not sure what to make out about this incident, but
BE SKEPTICAL (as with any purchase or service anywhere).

I hag my inspection done here the workers took me in fast enough did not look like they wanted to be there. I never get my gas here it is to expensive this is the priciest station in this area.

I have always been dissuaded from doing business with this places as the gas prices are about the highest I’ve seen outside of the city. However, the night before I had a day off from work, my 12 year old Jeep developed a nasty rattle and my hood wouldn’t latch shut. I didn’t want to let any of it go for a week until I was back at work where my normal garage is. So I choose Pinecrest Exxon because I could walk home from it.
Needless to say, I have a new garage. At first, I was a little put off because the intake person was all business. I’m a chatty person and he didn’t seem too interested in that. But he did listen to everything I said, and told me that he would call me when he knew something.
The call came at most 4 hours later. He explained that the two main problems were caused by rust from age, but were simple repairs. They had also replaces a burned out turn signal bulb. When I got there and looked at the price, it was about half of what I expected. They did not itemize out the labor, so I’m not sure whether they worked fast of their prices on labor are that low, but I was impressed. When I asked if there were any other noticeable problems, the same intake guy told me that he always has the mechanic go over the car for other repairs, but he didn’t find any. We then talked for about 20 minutes about how the 6-​cylander Jeep Cherokee was made to last, and about our children. In all, it was a great experience.
I have to give a special shout out PC Exxon for carrying the Neuro series in their store.
Go here for your repairs.

This place is great! We have dealt with a few repair shops since moving to Alexandria, and this is the one we’ll be sticking with. The staff is really helpful and nice, the prices beat the dealers by far, and they have always been willing to work with us to make sure we prioritize and get the work we need done. They seem to do it all!

«I’ve used this Exxon a lot and was happy with the service. Not sure what happened but the last time I was there no one was interested in helping me and they acted like my asking them to service my car was a huge inconvenience. Will be going elsewhere in the future»

Pincrest Exxon is awesome. We have always found the staff to be courteous, helpful and capable mechanics and we do all of our routine, non-​warranty work there. We’re big fans of Tire Rack tires and whenever we need new tires, we order them online and have Pinecrest install them for us. (Pinecrest has great prices, but not as good as Tire Rack.) You can’t really go wrong with these guys. We had only one issue with an install (of a gas tank on a late model import), but other than that, there have been no problems whatsoever.
