Never have to go back for the same repair, and they charge less than the dealership. Depending on when you get there, you might be able to snag a loaner car for the price of topping off the gas when you return. Check your mail for those coupon envelopes, the one that has coupons from 50 different businesses. These guys have their coupon in there, and that's usually a savings of $25 or so.

Prices are slightly elevated when compared to nearby surrounding gas stations and regions.

Great prices, friendly staff, and FAST service. Thanks, Glenn

I have taken my car to 3 other shops to find the problem with my car and James Madison Shell found the issue! I wasted a lot of money at these other shops to no avail. Finally I have found my go to garage!

Open later than other stations. Good mechanics.

Free air!

Regular gas station. Tried to get my car inspected here but they were taking to long so I left.

Highly recommend the honest and friendly crew at Madison Shell. I had hit a large pothole on a long drive down to Vienna, and was concerned that some noises I was hearing indicated serious suspension problems. This morning they quickly performed a safety check and, finding no problems, charged me nothing (!) and quickly got me on my way back to New England. I'm a very happy customer.

My radiator hose blew while I was sitting in heavy traffic on Hunter Mill, a block from Chain Bridge Rd. I managed to get off the road quickly. I noticed that my overflow bottle was also disconnected. It appears my previous service center repairs were faulty. A Good Samaritan stopped, reconnected both, and refilled my antifreeze. He recommended I have it checked by a mechanic, just to be sure. I visited the closest service station, but all of the mechanics had left for the day (4:57pm). I was told to go to James Madison Shell. Luckily, they had a mechanic who works after 5pm. Andre checked my hoses, topped off the antifreeze, allowed my car to run for a while, and rechecked everything for leaks. I was there at least 20 minutes, and was charged nothing! Knowing little to nothing about cars, he could have told me anything, and charged me whatever. Thank you Andre for being honest, and helping out a driver in distress, all for nothing in return. I found 2 Good Samaritan's that day!
