I'm having electrical problems with my car, could be a belt or alternator etc., I need to get fix tomorrow, being new to the area I do not know where to take it, can anyone recommend a place not to far from where I am.
I live in the area of West Glebe/Russell Rd/W Braddock Rd. Alexandria
Thanks Ted

Default Auto Stop

Ted, I've heard good things about Auto Stop. There's one in Arlington on Four Mile Run and a new store on Leesburg Pike near Baily's Crossroads.

If you're not averse to driving to Springfield, I would recommend Merv's on Springfield Boulevard. The Ravensworth Sunoco station is also highly praised by a friend of mine who lives near there -- it's in North Springfield (Braddock & Port Royal Roads).

Closer to you, in Alexandria, off Eisenhower Avenue, the Arlington Forest shop is one I have known people to use, and Checkbook also gives it a good rating. I think that the shop on Four Mile Run upthread is also one that's recommended by Checkbook.

Do you need a specific make of car serviced? There are some specialty shops for Mercedes, VW/Audi, Saab/Volvo, etc. in the area, too.

It wouldn't happen to be a BMW or a Mini, would it? Because there's a great independent Bimmer mechanic on Raymond St--Alexandria Bavarian Service. But he only works on those makes. He's way better than the dealership.
