    I dont know about prices, but I have taken my car to Ashburn Service and Tire Center for the past 5 years and will never go to a Goodyear or Bridgestone again. Great prices, great service, and supports the local economy.

    I second Ashburn Service and Tire- in the Ashburn Village Giant parking lot. Very honest, very reasonable. If nothing else they could get you an honest estimate.

    After moving here and comparing Ashburn tire to my usual place, I switched to Ashburn Tire. After 3 years, I re-evaluated and have realized that they have been less than honest in regards to brakes. Honesty is the simple measure in which we hold our car maintainers and when they violate that we go elsewhere. I'm now going to Fallon. It's not as slick and you wait a little longer since they aren't as polished but they are honest. I've conducted multiple tests between Ashburn Tire and Fallon now. Ashburn Tire unfortunately has given into the greed by recommending unnecessary repairs and Fallon has debunked them multiple times. People that know me know I value the truth and I won't do business with unethical people.

    We switched to Fallon after the recommendations on this board and are very happy. Fallon doesn't have the late night hours and weekend hours that many shops have but otherwise definitely the top place in my opinion.

    Funny thing when it comes to car repair, I have heard 2 negative things about Fallon (Repairs being done incorrectly), and only wonderful experiences at Ashburn Tire and Auto. I guess it all comes down to personal experience, but Ashburn Services has always been very very honest in all my dealings withthem. All I know is that I will not ever go to Good Years/ Virginia Tire and Autos; very shady experiences there.

    Regarding Fallon. If you've read these forums over the years, and there have been many about car repairs, there has been almost unanimous positive reports about Fallon. You are aware of two negatives. Pretty good track record in my mind. As far as the two negatives, do we KNOW that the repair was done incorrectly? And if so, was it corrected?
    You will never find a car repair shop that has 100% perfect record. Fallon is as close as I've seen.
    I've never been to Ashburn Tire and Auto. I could share a few horror stories about the Goodyear in Ashburn Farm...

    By no means was I trying to say Fallon is a terrible shop I was merely stating the fact that no shop is perfect. To my knowledge both cars were taken back, the mistakes were acknowledged, and the cars were fixed correctly. Both of my friends that experienced the issues with Fallon now exclusively use Ashburn Tire and Auto for their auto repair needs. Again not knocking Fallon I have just always been very pleased with Ashburn Tire and Auto. I am glad the horror stories about Goodyear, and the Virginia Tire and Autos are being exposed, dont take your cars there!
