ALEXANDRIA, VA — As families prepare for the summer travel season, one longtime Alexandria business is helping drivers make sure their vehicles are ready for the road.
Yates Automotive, a family-owned Alexandria institution since 1964, is offering a special Father’s Day maintenance package designed to help customers head into summer safely and confidently.
The Father’s Day Special, priced at $199, includes a synthetic oil change, tire rotation, and a comprehensive 10-point vehicle inspection to help keep vehicles reliable and road-trip ready during the busy summer months ahead.
For more than 60 years, Yates Automotive has built its reputation on honest service, professionalism, and treating customers the right way.
“When my father opened Yates Automotive in 1964, he built the business around trust, integrity, and taking care of people,” said Jason Yates Sr. “Those values are still at the heart of everything we do today. This Father’s Day special is our way of saying thank you to the families who have supported us for generations and continue to make Yates part of their lives.”
That commitment to community extends beyond automotive repair. Over the years, the Yates family has quietly stepped in to help neighbors when they needed it most. In one memorable case, Yates Automotive repaired the vehicle of Alexandria Living Legend Pat Miller at no charge after her truck was damaged in a hit-and-run incident in Del Ray.
Many Alexandria families have trusted the business for generations. From European luxury vehicles to everyday family cars, Yates Automotive services all makes and models while maintaining the personal approach that has distinguished the company since its founding.
Customers often notice that difference immediately. Service advisors wear button-down shirts and neckties, reflecting the pride and professionalism that have long been part of the Yates culture.
While the customer experience feels refreshingly traditional, the shop is fully equipped to service today’s modern vehicles.
The Father’s Day package also includes several complimentary extras designed to make the experience more convenient and enjoyable. Customers can take advantage of free shuttle rides home or to work, complimentary WiFi, and refreshments while their vehicle is being serviced.
In addition, customers can relax at Lena’s Wood-Fired Pizza & Tap with complimentary refreshments and a choice of appetizer or dessert while they wait.
Yates Automotive is also open Saturdays for repairs, providing additional flexibility for busy schedules.
The Father’s Day Special is available now.
