Arlington Car Care

These guys were great. I pulled in to have my brakes looked at before I went out of town for a family emergency. They quickly made the repairs and I was on my way and it was less than what the original estimate was. What a relief. Thanks so much, you guys really saved the day.

Beware - this place greatly, greatly marks up prices for parts! They get their parts from NAPA (who probably gives them a discount and delivers to them for free) so it's easy to see their markups. I wish I knew this ahead of time because I would have never gone here.

I needed a fuel pump replaced. They got the part from NAPA which cost $314.00 (part #FG0324) and they charged me $546.15 for just the part. Also they put in a new fuel filter which cost $7.99 (part #23481) and they charged me $19.10. You may think this included the labor also which would have made some sense, but it didn't because labor was an additional $257.15. So all in with their 'shop charges' and $82.95 to 'analyze' the problem which consisted of turning the key and immediately realizing the fuel pump was bad, plus tax, etc.. the total to replace my fuel pump was over $950. I have since called a couple other reputable places in town and nobody has been close to this amount with the highest being right around $650 for the exact same services.

I did give this place 1 star (instead of 0) because they did finish my car quickly and it seems to work fine. I just want everyone to know what they are getting ahead of time and wish someone would have posted this for me to read before I went to this place. This place may be fine it you just need something minor fixed that doesn't require new parts, but I would not recommend this place otherwise.
