Your Old Town Mechanic, Close to Eisenhower

The Eisenhower Avenue corridor runs along the valley south of Duke Street, from Hoffman Town Center and the Eisenhower Avenue Metro to the National Science Foundation headquarters and Cameron Run Regional Park. It's right next to the Capital Beltway, so many residents drive it every day.

Old Town Exxon is about two miles from the Eisenhower Avenue Metro, at 501 S. Washington Street, on the corner of Wilkes Street. It's a short drive that skips the Beltway, so you can drop the car off and head into Old Town while we work.

What Eisenhower Drivers Need Most

Daily Beltway driving, with high speeds, sudden backups and long idles in summer heat, wears the same parts again and again.

Brake Repair
Beltway traffic goes from 60 mph to a dead stop without warning. Brakes that are fine around town can show their age there.
AC & Heating
Sitting in traffic on a July afternoon is the hardest test your A/C gets. If it's blowing warm at idle, have it checked before it fails completely.
Tire Service
Highway miles add up fast. Rotation and balancing keep wear even, and we'll tell you honestly how much tread you have left.
Diagnostics & Electrical
A warning light on the Beltway is stressful. We find the cause and explain your options in plain English.
