As a passionate automotive enthusiast, Matt Curry realized that there was a need for a trustworthy repair facility in Northern Virginia. He envisioned a shop that did it all – performed exceptional work and was staffed with professional, courteous and competent automotive technicians. As a manager for Goodyear, Merchants Tire and Craven Tire, Matt had a unique perspective of how the automotive industry worked. With a prayer and a dream, Matt and his wife Judy, who has a Business Management degree form George Mason University, incorporated Curry’s Auto Service in 1997. The first shop located in Chantilly officially opened on March 16, 1998.

Matt’s formula to provide his customers with a Complete Automotive Experience worked. Business was so brisk, that he hired one of Merchants Tire’s best managers, Chris Coulter, to manage the shop. With two degrees from Longwood College in Economics and Management, the addition of Chris to the Curry family would turn out to be an astute and providential business decision. Less than two years later on May 7, 2000, Matt, together with Chris as his business partner, opened a second Curry’s Auto Service located in Dulles.

Curry’s continued to grow to the point that in January 2004, Matt sold the cramped Sullyfield Circle property and moved a mile away to an 8,800 square foot, 12 bay facility on Westfax Drive. Two months after that on March, 16, 2004, Matt and Chris acquired Beaches Automotive in Falls Church – Curry’s third shop. And a year later on March 1, 2005, a fourth store was purchased at the location formerly known as Datsun Dynamics in Reston/Great Falls. What initially began as a three-man operation with one store on Sullyfield Circle has since grown into four shops with 42 employees.

Curry’s Auto Service remains devoted to the tenets upon which the company was founded – providing superior, competent and courteous service at a level that is unsurpassed in the industry. The honest advice and personal attention all our customers receive reflects this attitude. We know you will agree too.

Hi! I am Andrew Davidson, Master Technician from Currys Auto Service. We have four locations serving Northern Virginia. Today, we are going to be changing your oil and now, I am going to show you how to prepare your car for an oil change. The first step I am going to take is put on some latex gloves. These will keep your hands protected; keep from getting the oil, something you really dont want to contact with your skin. Remove the oil cap; this is more just to remind me when I put the car back down that I need to refill the oil.

What I am going to do now is remove some these splash shields so that we can get to the oil drain plug and the filters. Some vehicles you may have things like this to remove, some maybe wide open, they do vary. It seems that most of the newer vehicles you are going to run into stuff like this. You would be doing this under your car probably in your garage or driveway. If you are using a floor jack, please always make sure that you have jack stands underneath of it; you never want to use the floor jack as the sole lifting device. So, you want to make sure you have jack stands and the car is properly secured before you get under it to work.

That opens things up really nicely for us and that is how you prepare your car for an oil change.
