Hello my name is Abdul,

Let me start by saying thank you, my wife and i were struggling for a few months due to the economy and then her transmission went out on her car which is a 2003 g35 coupe we started looking around and they were very expensive so we started car pooling to work, then one day one of my friends said why don’t you check out Brandywine I was like whats that he told me, at first my impression was like they are very unprofessional, cheaters, and probably trying to sell things that dont have all the parts to them so i said let me give it a shot. When I called from the time the receptionist answered the phone which i didn’t get her name was very polite and then she transferred me to a gentleman named (will walker) believe me i had alot of questions but not once did he try to rush me off the phone ,i also told him my mechanic was on vacation so i would need the transmission after ten days he said no problem he would hold it for me down deep inside something told me that the transmission wouldn’t be there after ten days what company would hold something that long without pay, guess what he impressed me again today is 11/05/2009 and my wife is driving her car again thanks to Brandywine professional team who made it happen i will tell everyone i know on how great service you will walker gave my family thank you again

Congratulations to everyone for their years of service!

As most of you know there was a fire at AAAACO in November of 2005 and the office building was totally destroyed. Luckily it happened while the business was closed after hours and no one was hurt. Needless to say this has been an extremely slow process attempting permits etc.. A building has been designed as well as the lot architecture. A few weeks ago our water line was constructed because the well had to be abandoned but we are getting places! Below are photos of Fairfax County Water Authority giving us the final ok on this phase of construction. We will keep you posted as things progress…..

When the weather turns colder problems can develop with your vehicle that you may not be aware of. Make sure you check the date on your battery to see if its time to change it out. Most batteries will last about 3 years. The colder the outside temperatures, shorter the life expectancy of your battery will be. Always check the battery positive and negative terminals to make sure they are making good connections.

Make sure all your fluids are at their proper levels and the correct type of fluids are being used for the winter weather. Finally, always check your tire’s air pressure. The colder outside air temperatures will cause the tire to drop in air pressure automatically making them under inflated and causing poor handling of your vehicle.
