It's Our 13th Birthday!!

We are proud to announce that today is officially the 13th Anniversary of Curry's Auto Service, Inc., so we thought we share a little bit of history with you...

In 1998 Matt & Judy Curry fulfilled their lifelong dream of opening a repair shop where customer service would be the focus of the ultimate auto repair experience - for EVERY customer. The first store opened in Chantilly, in a secluded spot deep inside an industrial park with only 4 parking spaces, where no-one could find us! Matt, Chris Prack (our Technical Director) and Joe Vrobel (one of current Reston/Great Falls Technicians) worked ceaselessly to get the store ready. Once they cleaned the 6 inches of diesel oil from all the visible surfaces they managed to get the store ready for customers.

Within weeks, local BMW Club President, Mike Gayle was looking for replacement tires for his BMW M3. Gayle called Hunter Equipment, a high-end automotive manufacturer, and was told the only place in the country that had the machine to replace his tires was Curry's. Gayle wrote an article about Curry's for the BMW Club magazine, which helped seal Curry's reputation in those first few months, as the pinnacle of specialist auto repair in Northern Virginia.

Within two years, Curry's had opened their second location in Falls Church... and the rest is history!

Matt and Judy have worked tirelessly to change consumer perceptions of the auto repair industry and they, and all of the Curry's family, want to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of our customers for the trust and support you show in Curry's Auto Service, each and every day.

We thank you, and we hope you can join is 2013 to celebrate our 15th Anniversary!!

  1. Happy 13th anniversary (well, at least I hope it's a happy one...I mean, it is the 13th and all, but it is falling close to St Patricks Day, so that can't be all bad, is it?) As someone who enjoys the "female friendly" atmosphere, I know I have passed along your info to several other female friends who have been in need of repair service, and have loved the fact you treat us as if we have a brain in our head. :-)

  2. Happy anniversary and I remember hearing about Currys when I first moved to the area almost 10 years ago. My co-workers recommended Currys in Chantilly and it is the only place I'll bring my baby BMW. Thanks again!
