Default ME Flow

We have used ME Flow (Alexandria) several times so far and the appointments were easy to set up and very prompt, especially when the AC was out, the technicians were very knowledgeable and never had to leave and return for the lack of parts or for any other reason. The prices, based on my previous experiences were very reasonable.


I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an HVAC contractor.

Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue near the Dunn Loring metro station. Reallly really good barbecue and delicious sides. Just tried it yesterday after hearing some great recommendations.

Lightbulb Best Mechanic Shop in Alexandria Virginia

I bought a used 2007 Toyota Camry in 2014. Not realizing it at the time, the air conditioning system was not functioning properly. I bought the car to multiple mechanics in the area explaining my problem. Each shop would take my car, charge me a couple hundred bucks and return my car in the same condition.

Fast forward to 2017, Craftsman Auto Care moves to my neighborhood in Kingstowne. By this time, I'm no longer concerned by the problem because I only have to deal with it 3 or 4 months out of the year. While checking out during a routine oil change I was handed a summary of suggested work to be performed on my car. The A/C was on the list. I bought my car in the next week to see if they would be able to fix it. They did. After 3 years of slightly cool air blowing out of my A/C I now have a cool car in the summertime.

I can't recommend the crew at Craftsman Auto Care enough for the great work they've done. It's safe to say that my family is no longer looking for a mechanic. We have one for life.

This is the best auto mechanic shop in Alexandria Virginia. Friendly staff and excellent customer service.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've been concerned about where to take my car if I need something done since my buddy Bob sold his Shell station and moved

Your welcome!

Sorry to hear about your buddy Bob. It can be challenging to find a mechanic you trust.

I believe I received an email last week for a free oil change for new clients. I'll check to see if I still have it.

Updating this thread after the dreadful experience w/the dealership yesterday (they were replacing the passenger side airbag from a recall and it took twice as long as I was told - more to the story but.... ) - any updates to this? The dealership (of course) came up w/lots of recommendations which the service guy addressed but I get home and the one thing that is marked as critical was not addressed at all (fluid levels on various things) - really was pushed to have all this other work performed, they'd give coupons, etc. (of course that didn't happen as I never got a bottom line price for anything). I'm thinking of going to see the other station my buddy recommended to get their opinion but looking for other options as well. TIA.

Any update on this process?

Which shop did you choose?

Thanks for asking. I did take my "list" to the other recommended Shell, he looked at the list and said nothing is critical, just make an appt. for them to look it over when I need my next oil changed. Even IF I would possibly need everything they say, it would be half of what the dealership wants. (big surprise there....... NOT)
