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. Now I am going to show you how to check your cars fluid level. Another good thing to do while youre changing your oil and youre under the hood anyway, is to check all your fluids. You look around to see the washer fluid, this is something that just pretty much every time you are going to change your oil, you are going to want to refill this, because obviously its consumable, so its going to be low, if you use your washers.

All your other fluids -- many of todays cars, the reservoirs are clear, so you can actually see the level without even removing a cap, like on this power steering reservoir I can see that the fluid level is fine. You never want to remove a radiator cap when its warm or hot, okay. This has an overflow tank, you can actually look in and the level there looks fine. Your break fluid obviously -- well, most of todays cars are reservoirs clear as well, so you can look at the level, okay? Level there looks good, most of these reservoirs have a minimum and a maximum level right on the outside of the reservoir. This is just a good time to take a quick look under the hood and even if you dont know exactly what you are looking at and you are not a mechanic, you look for anything out of place that obviously looks like, it might be problem and its maybe you should take to shop to have checked up. Take a look at the belt obviously we see the fraying or something coming apart that is a problem. Just take a good look around under the hood and make sure nothing looks out of place and thats how you check your cars fluid level.
