New member, looking for the best priced B1 service center in Fairfax, VA

Hi,

I ran a search prior to my post an wasn't able to locate a previous thread. I'm in Fairfax, VA and I'm looking for a service center in the area that has the best priced B1 service. Fairfax Service Center quoted me at $450 and my dealership quoted between $625-650. Does anyone have any recommendations?

there are a couple options... i have not been to either one but heard very good things about Mars. i was quoted in the ballpark of $400-$450 for B service.
Mars Auto (Manassas Park)
Benz Elite (Alexandria)

whichever one you choose, i'd be very interested in your review.. as i'm completely pissed off with the dealers around my area.

I'll definitely let you know. Any recommendations on tinting shops?

I'm also looking to get the car tinted so its not scorching hot this summer.

Winners Window Tint (rockville)

it costs in the ballpark of $250.

Used Fairfax Service Center for my B1 service, very happy and only charged 200!

Used California Tint, a little pricey (got ceramic 40% for $350) but overall I would recommend. Noticed a scratch a few days later in my drivers side door tint, and replaced without issue.

B1 service at Fairfax Service Center

Do you know what was done for the $ 200. Was it a full B1 service? Also, do you know of a good place where I can get a rim damage repaired? I scraped the fender against the curb while parking.

Sounds fun!

Fairfax isn't to far from Arlington. I use American Service Center off Glebe, their service bay work is freaking awesome!
