Consumer Comments for Craftsman Auto Care

Consumer from MC LEAN, VA
Jul 18, 2026

Craftsman works hard to up-sell customers to add on expensive services that may or more often may not be needed. And they are expensive - close to dealership prices. They are however very friendly and do good work.

I have used this Craftsman location for years and have found them to be competent and honest.

Consumer from Alexandria, VA

The staff is very polite and professional but the prices are way too high and unreasonable for the work being completed.
