I love this place. I feel I can trust the mechanics and they are knowledgeable and thorough. They have even taken the time to resolve some of my minor vehicle issues for free. They are conveniently located. The only issue I have ever had with them is that they rarely allow customers to make appointments (only certain types of repairs are granted appointments at this shop). They do all of their work on a first-come first-served basis -- which is great if you have the flexibility in your schedule to drop off your car at 8 AM and not need to use it all day. If you drop your car off in the afternoon, do not expect that the mechanics will have a chance to look at the vehicle before the work day ends. More often than not, they wont have a chance to assess the vehicle issue until the following day. They do have Saturday hours, but again, I encourage you to drop off your vehicle before 9 AM because their shop is very busy and they are not likely going to be able to fit your car into their schedule if it arrives too late. Even though the scheduling gets complicated with these guys, I would never hesitate to take my car there -- They have always provided stellar service and work. I know that if my vehicle is in the hands of Cherrydale Motors, then the job will be done correctly and at a fair price.

These guys are straight-shooters. I went in with an engine overheating problem, coolant leaking. They could have effed me for a busted head gasket (over $1k parts and labor) but found the true problem (much cheaper). They called me and told me what was going on and asked for the OK to go ahead and fix it. I had the car back in 3 days. On a separate occasion I also had an electrical problem a few months ago. Brought the car in and gave a description. Started walking home, I got about 3 blocks before they called me back saying the problem was very small, a burned-out wiring harness or something. They had the part on-hand so they told me to come back. By the time I got there it had already been fixed, no charge because it was so easy. I tipped the guy $10 anyway as a show of good faith.

We have been taking our fussy vehicles here now for about 10 years (weve lived in Arlington for 30) and would not go anywhere else. Highly qualified mechanics, outstanding customer service, utterly honest - highly ethical. They will work with you to solve any problem. As in our case, with a couple of older vehicles, they searched for reliable used parts to keep our costs lower (for a Mercedes and a Suburban). If you are buying a used car as our daughter just did, they will give a thorough assessment. They are willing to discuss their opinions about car performance and reliability if you are in market for a vehicle. They also work on classic/antique cars - the owner, Wade Aylor, is a specialist in this as well. Your car will be treated with TLC!

After recharging the battery on my 30-year old van with broken alternator, these guys fixed it up, priced it not high or low but fairly and reasonably. They are real straight shooters and like to call your sir and vice versa. I had an engine issue for YEARS that several mechanics couldnt figure out, nor could several family friends who work as mechanics. These guys, they were the ones who figured out the issue, and I worked with them to finally fix it. These are my go-to local mechanics. For a 30 year old car, a lot of mechanics will turn you away or give you lip service and say they cant fix it because its too inconvenient for them, these guys will try to fix it if its possible, which is what I call true professionalism.

Cherrydale Motors provided a pleasant experience for my automotive repairs (which can rarely be said)! While I didnt tell them that I knew all of the issues with my car, they hit every one on the head. Furthermore, they didnt follow-up with a list of $5,000+ unneccessary repairs as the dealership normally does. They completed the repairs in a timely fashion, kept tight communications, and were extremely professional both in-person and over the phone. I highly recommend Cherrydale Motors to those who are looking for reliable and cost-efficient repairs.

Great experience here! I cant thank them enough! I had failed my inspection at another garage and the they tried to sell me what would have cost 350 dollars after parts and labor, for a simple fix. I took my car to Cherrydale Motors, they were polite and friendly. They made the repair which they said was easy and they didnt charge me a dime! I was able to pass inspection no problem. Real genuine honest folks working here. I will go back with any future problems and you should too!

Today i need to get the oil changed and fix a rattle while accelerating. They quoted me $300 for a u joint plus another $2000 in other fixes that "I needed". They also changed $11 extra for an "oil additive" that I didnt ask for on top of the regular oil change . He said, "It helps viscosity." Looking online and talking to the mechanics at Joyce, this is BS. I took it to Joyce Motors and they repaired the u joint for $100 less.

This no frills establishment looks like its been there for 100 years. I believe that theres a reason that. The customer service that I receive when I take my truck their feels like its from another era. The employees arent so much friendly as they are straight forward and honest. Its the type of mechanic that you hope to find when you move to a new place. You can count on them getting the job done and for a fair price.

Ive only had great experiences with Cherrydale Motors. I have taken my car to be inspected there (cheap!) and to have repairs. As a woman, Ive always heard about not being treated fairly in "manland", but that was not my experience with Cherrydale. The team is super helpful, answers questions, very attentive and has fair prices (I research these things). I will keep taking my car to Cherrydale Motors! Thanks guys!

Great, honest service and a quick turnaround on getting my car back. Being open until 6:00 on some days and having weekend hours is a HUGE plus. At a different mechanic, I was told my car would would need $1300 worth of work to pass inspection, but at Cherrydale they looked at my car and told me that it was only a $300 issue. Theyve earned a customer for life!

I like to work on my own cars and when I cant fix something or dont have the time, I take it to Billy & Wade.They always treat me with respect and dont look down on my because I am not a professional mechanic. I have recommended them to numerous friends and neighbors and they always thank me and tell me about the pleasant experience they have had.

Excellent experience getting my leaky tire repaired. After a quick call they were able to squeeze me in even though it was obvious they were very busy. They quickly identified the problem and repaired the tire with no up-sell pressure. Couldnt complain about the $20 price tag either. I think theyve just found a new regular customer.
