Seven Corners Shell

I had my VA state inspection done on my ’04 Expedition here last week. Dropped in on a Wednesday around lunchtime and shopped at BJ’s next door while waiting. It took 45 minutes to finish. They didn’t call to tell me it was finished even though I asked them to do that. This was in the middle of the month, May 18, which I know usually helps with inspections.

I’ve had my oil changed and inspection here for a fair price. They took a nail out of my wheel for a fair price as well. Every visit I’ve had with their service station has been a fast and efficient experience. I normally just say a few words then they take my keys and… ta-​dah! All done.
I highly recommend this particular shell if you’re in the area!

Just had timing belt, drive belt, spark plugs, rear rotors+brakes, and two front door lock actuators replaced with no problems. The mechanic, Nu, worked till very late on Saturday to finish the job as promised. This is the second time they worked late to finish the job on time. Really good station.

I can’t say enough about how awesome this place is! I have been there for a few minor things and every time they have taken care of it in a very timely manner and the price is always «best case scenario». As an added bonus they often have one of the cheapest gas prices in the area. If you need something checked out, I highly recommend!

Yes,“Yelpers”, I know this place is awesome! I’ve been coming to them for years… (my 21 yr old nephew was a baby)!
That’s why I shouldn’t even be writing this. I’m selfish and want to keep them to myself! You know how crowded excellent places get when everyone finds out about them. Boo!
But, yeah, they are that good!
They have gone above the call of duty many times for me. Even fixing a tail light for free, that I didnt know was out. Wipers. All kinds of things.
They never seem to be out to overcharge people (like us women) like a lot of mechanics try to do!
Even most «waits» for your car aren’t long.
They deserve 5 stars for great customer service and car service!
So enjoy your future repeat visits!

Impeccable service! Our windshield wipers broke on one of these many icy mornings — it was at 9am on a Sunday so I was convinced we’d be stranded until Monday. We stopped by this service station. The man at the register said the repair shop was closed on Sunday but maybe he could help. In between waiting on customers, he would come out in the freezing rain to patiently install new wipers. Then he realized our mechanism needed fixing so he went out to his car to get his OWN set of tools to finish the job. He didn’t charge us for his time (just the parts) and steadfastly refused a tip from us. We were so grateful for his help and kindness on an icy Sunday morning!

Yesterday I stopped by to use my Giant gas points ($.10 off per gallon) on regular gas. I put the gas nozzle into my tank and pressed the regular button. Initially, nothing happened so I hit the regular button again and then gas started to pump. I filled up just under 10 gallons and my total came to just over $ 35. I was prepared to pay $ 3.14 per gallon with my Giant rewards discount so $ 35 seemed high.
When I printed the receipt, it showed I had pumped V-​Power fuel into my engine (@ $ 3.64/gallon), not regular even though I had hit the regular button 2x. When I went to see the gas station attendant, I was told it must have been my accident and that the hose must have it the V-​Power button. He also proceeded to tell me that he could show me how to properly pump my gas after he refused to refund me.
Additionally, I was told to drive back when the manager was back today (spending more gas than necessary to request a refund a second time). I have never had a poor experience with Shell, so it was really unfortunate that this happened.

I just cannot say enough nice things about this place! Everyone has always been so nice and helpful. I have been taking my car here for several years and love it! They have saved me money by showing me that parts I was told needed to be replaced by other shops did actually not need to be replaced. They always explain everything they are doing and have even helped me to keep an eye on my tires and inspections (services that they do not even do). I will keep taking my car here, there is a very low wait and turn around time and I have NEVER felt ripped off.

Took a chance on this place and it is great! It is near the Planet Fitness gym. We drop the car off and go work out and they have it finished. They do inspections, but they also do more complicated stuff. We’ve also gotten a car detailed (it was awful). It looked like new. Good honest people. Good prices.

Nice, friendly, reasonable and prompt. Went here to check alignment, brakes and general condition plus get an oil change. They were really prompt, and said everything was in good condition (I could tell they really did check because of comments about previous work done elsewhere), so there was no charge except for the oil change.

What a great neighborhood service station. Hichem is an honest and straightforward service manager. They do a great job on emissions and safety inspections too — being thorough and safe and by the book — but not trying to come up with phony things you need to have repaired. I definitely trust them to only do and recommend what’s needed for our three family vehicles. Also the young lady who works at the counter is pleasant and friendly every time. :)
As an engineer who is thoroughly versed in the maintenance of my vehicles (doing many things myself) I asked them to do a complicated auto transmission fluid change out and flush on my 4WD truck with synthetic fluid, — in a different manner than they usually did it to be able to track the old fluid coming out and new going in to replace it — and they agreed to do it for a fair price and graciously took my detailed input about my vehicle and the precedure even thought they know their stuff. They also changed all the gear oils in both my 4WD vehicles to synthetic in the transfer case, and front and rear differentials.
Thanks Hichem and expert mechanic Giobany!

I’ve had very good experiences over several years with 7 Corners Shell. A true neighborhood business with very friendly and helpful staff, and the owner, Hichem, always manages to keep the business staffed with such people.
It’s such a rare thing these days to find such a shop in one’s own community.

My friend’s car had been making funny noises for awhile and the Jiffy Lube guys thought it might be the transmission. We were a bit scared by that thought and dropped the car off at the nearest shop, which was the Seven Corner Shell. Hichem took a look at the car right away and told us the problem was a piece of the car that had rusted, with the top part still stuck in the car and rattling around. Relieved, we asked about replacing it and though he could have easily said we needed it replaced and charged us, he said it wasn’t a vital part and we were fine without it. We offered to pay for the consultation but he declined. It was such a relief to find someone who was honest and very friendly. He knowledgeably answered all the questions we had with patience and detailed responses. Great service!

All encounters with this gas station have been top notch. I have seen them go out of their way to give directions to non-​english speakers. I towed my car there on a Sunday to get work. They gave me a reasonable price and got to work on the car.
I would recommend this station for their great customer service.

My car broke down while I was out Christmas shopping at noon on Saturday, December 22^nd. I have driven by Seven Corners Shell and also get gas there sometimes so I noticed they have a mechanic working on Saturday. I phoned them in a panic and asked if they could fix my car if I could get it towed in. An exhaust pipe had fallen off and I could not drive the car. They were very polite and helpful and said if I could get the car towed in by 2 pm they would do their best to fix it. I got the car towed in and the mechanic got my car up on the rack and showed me where the exhaust had rusted off. The mechanic said he’d have my car fixed in 2 hours. I live within walking distance so I went home and called them in 2 hours, and the mechanic said my car was ready. This service station is terrific. They are so helpful and nice and they really helped me out over the holiday weekend when everyone else (including the mechanic I’d been going to) was closed. They did only the service that was needed at a fair price. I recommend this service station highly and I will take my car to them from now on, too.
