C & J Automotive

Been there quiet a few times for emissions testing, safety inspections, and an alignment on a particular car that has offset staggered fitment rims that no one else could align properly. I collect cars i have a highly modified one a classic Cadillac. They always are responsible and has far has i can tell honest which in northern Virginia for an auto shop. I bought them a friends car which had some front end damage from a orevioys accident for an alignment they took the time to evaluate the vehicle and not charge me for alignment since the damage was so servere and they couldnt do it even though vehicle was up on lift for 30 minutes (I would of charged me just for the eval)… overall a very good shop…
Not sure how you fail an inspection emission or safety for a cigarette lighter in Valerie’s post…

Great service. Not sure who Sam is (other review complained about him). I’ve been coming to C&J for several years and they provide honest advice and reasonable prices (far less than dealer and better than some other independent shops). I’ve had engine services, speakers, lights, oil changes, all with good results. I had two vehicles in this week and I expect to be back again soon.

Sam has got to be the worst thing that has happened to this place. Because my lighter doesn’t work (fuse) he wants to fail my emissions test. I can see that my husband will have to take my cars to be inspected in the future. I refuse to pay 12.50 for him to tell me it’s the fuse then pay for the fuse. Has it REALLY gotten this bad people? I did mention I was a truck driver and a pretty good mechanic… Im pissed and probably will not return next year!
