EB3 seemed to specilaize in Domestics. They were pretty cool, although the guy that works at the desk doesn't know too much. Their machinist is really cool. They're off Lee Road in Chantilly.

No problem.

If you don't like them, I'd suggest Curry's. But I'm sure they'll cost alot more.

You can be the EB3 guinea pig; let us know how they do. From what I've seen, they're not idiots with tools.

Oh, and if you're just looking for a "cheap" place for regular work, Perfection Auto in Sterling is pretty inexpensive.

Cottman's = goodbye transmission (if you have an automatic). They couldn't pay me to touch my vehicle. I wouldn't let them change a light bulb! Of course, the Manassas location could be entirely different than the 757 one.
