Alexandria VA auto repair

Quick state inspection! Very friendly and professional. Very detailed. I will return for my next state inspection!

Had my car detailed, and it looked new inside and out. Sparkled. No blemishes remained. Totally clean mats, carpet pads, windows, leather interior, and all trim. Best anywhere in the area.

I am so impressed with Yates Automotive. They really went above and beyond, calling around to different dealerships to find a needed part for my repair and then driving to two different locations to pick up the part. They squeezed me in last minute for an inspection, kept me updated and informed and all for a very reasonable price! I am a first time customer, but will definitely be coming back after such a great experience!

I went for an inspection of my ‘94 f-350. It failed on four items. Joey explained the items and did not charge me for the inspection. I bought my front end parts and my friend Jose took care of my tie rods. Allen at Yates made me a new fuel line for my diesel. He got a part for my exhaust system and I did the work. They worked with me and saved me money. They were professional and courteous. I passed my inspection and happily paid my $20. Price was fair. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the great service in and out in a reasonable time for my safety and emissions testing on a Saturday.

Great place to get your car inspected! They take appointments for both safety and emissions inspections and are dog friendly.

Great service

Always reliable and fast service. They walked over to where my car was, jumped the battery, then drove it over and replaced it in a matter of minutes. And I got a free drink from 7-11 while I was waiting! Not cheap but you can always count on Yates to get everything straightened out.

This is my second time here and it's always great experience. I drive for Lyft and you are required to do a safety inspection I am a Maryland resident but Virginia inspection is cheaper and Lyft accepts it so every time I come the experience is phenomenal. From the time I enter the building I'm greeted with warm smiles and friendly faces. The did the inspection of my vehicle a the this that didn't pass their mechanics are able to fix it. While I was there the service writer Will Blake made sure I was comfortable offered refreshments. While I was in the waiting room I noticed that the shop is clean. As a mechanic a clean shop indicates people that take pride in their work so it was a plus for me. I would recommend this shop to anyone seeking repair this shop on a whole takes pride in their work
