Who We Are

The Auto Stop Elite team

Auto Stop Elite is owned by Benjamin Bradley, Meredith Bradley, and Tom Lapham. It is a sister brand inspired by Tom’s existing business called The Auto Stop. The first Auto Stop in Arlington, VA opened over 20 years ago and now has grown to a second location in Falls Church, VA. Benjamin started working for Tom in 2016 with the intention of eventually starting his own auto repair business. Ben and Tom quickly learned that together they could redefine the automotive repair industry and Auto Stop Elite was born! Tom dreams big, Meredith puts a plan to it, and Ben makes it happen. It’s the perfect partnership.
We know that unexpected expenses like car repairs can be stressful, so we want to do everything we can to make your experience pleasant and enjoyable. Our employees will go above and beyond the call of duty to earn your business!
It is important to state that our objective is never to write up a long list of problems on your car in an attempt to sell you more services. We see it as our job and obligation to be thorough and forthcoming about your vehicle’s overall condition so you can make educated decisions about maintenance and repairs. We will always break it down for you in terms of immediate safety issues, manufacturer maintenance suggestions, and/or items to keep an eye on down the road. Our service advisers will use their extensive knowledge to help create a customized service plan based on your car’s needs that works best for you.

Education

The technological advancements in the car repair industry are exciting and constantly changing. It’s important for us to keep our Master ASE technicians informed by sending them to trainings across the country to better service your vehicle. We also value customer education. We want customers to understand their vehicle’s needs so that they feel empowered to make repair decisions and don’t feel taken advantage of; a common complaint in this industry. We will slow down, check for understanding, and even be happy to show the inner workings under the hood to aid in comprehension. Every service at Auto Stop Elite comes with a complimentary inspection using a state of the art digital evaluation where a Master ASE technician looks over your vehicle while taking pictures and noting recommendations based on safety and maintenance concerns. This inspection not only builds trust through our transparency, but also helps you make the most informed decisions regarding the health of your vehicle.
