Arlington Global Service Station

I brought my car in for a simple inspection and oil change. I was told my Rear LED lights didn’t work. Abe was not only unable to diagnose the problem with my car but insisted I NOT bring the vehicle to the dealer. I was told my engine was going to need to be replaced at a cost of around $6k. He had me take a photo of his computer of what he believed was wrong with the car... the fact that he could not tell me what was wrong was puzzling. Alas, I brought my car to Herb Chambers.... only to learn that my rear LED lights were fully functional, and that there was a MINOR problem with one part of the engine. (Covered under warranty) Needless to say, I would NOT RECOMMEND Abe’s sub par service at Arlington Global Service. Nor would I recommend him for inspection.

Every person that works here is great! So friendly, helpful and happy talk through any issues you're having with your car, also willing to offer suggestions if they aren't the right ones for the job. Nice to get a fill up from real people who you actually like and enjoy saying hello to.

This is a great place -- heart of the neighborhood. The owner is helpful and honest, the staff is friendly, inspections are fast, and the prices are good. It tended to look a little long-in-the-tooth for a long time, as in most of the outdated photos on the Google listing, but in summer of 2018, they kicked it up a notch by commissioning an amazing redesign of the station -- in bright colors and artistic designs. It brightened up the neighborhood and even inspired a big public art project to decorate the whole block during the fall.
