Pontiac is a brand that was discontinued amid the Great Recession and the bankruptcy of General Motors. The brand was a sporty off-shoot of the automaker, taking platforms from GM's global portfolio and molding them into American sports cars of varying levels and performance combinations. The brand was able to not only differentiate itself from the competition, but from other brands GM offered in the U.S. Before its demise, the brand had created a rabid following, which is why many vehicles are still on the road today.

Your Pontiac vehicle, new or used, will need to have maintenance or repairs completed during your ownership. There will always be general maintenance needs, however, you could see problems with the engine, interior fit-and-finish issues over the life of the vehicle or transmission, depending on the model and year of the vehicle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

    • Vehicle Tips

      The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)

    • Vehicle Tips

      Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

    • Vehicle Tips

      A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

  • Josh and the guys at shell are always kind and helpful. I trust them with my car every time I need help.


    -Melissa B.

  • I have been taking my vehicles to this Shell station for a couple of years now, and I have never been disappointed in their work. Josh, in Service, has been fantastic and very responsive to ensuring quality work for my vehicles. I totally recommend the service department!


    -Linda T.

  • Great place to get gas in Herndon, prices are low, at the moment and service is great.


    -Ian F.

  • Always get gas here and also get vehicles services. Fast, honest, and competent. Can't ask for much more than that.


    -V.A.

  • 5 stars, good!


    -Albert L.

  • This is my fourth or fifth time going to the McLearen Shell for my auto service and it is by far the best I've ever been to. They are honest about what actually needs to be replaced for your car, whereas other auto services including my own dealer have tried to rip me off and take advantage of me. McLearen Shell even fixed a small issue for me at no charge! I will keep coming back!


    -Raquel U.

  • Great people, price, car wash and safety inspection and emissions. I do recommend and have repeated


    -Nelson S.

  • ...Good people, good work. It's where i'll be going in the future.


    -Rich H.

  • McLearen Shell auto repair is the best shop I have ever been to. My guard is always up when I go to a repair shop, worrying if I am getting ripped off for something I don't really need, etc. However, that is not the case at McLearen Shell. For both my wife and my vehicles, they have provided exceptional service every time, and I always feel I am getting a very fair, if not good price! The guys there are incredibly nice. I dealt with Josh and Tony last time, both are very personable and you can tell they genuinely care. It's a great feeling to know I have a local shop I can count on and trust. Thank you McLearen Shell for doing things the right way! I'm a customer for life!


    -Jamie J.

  • Perfect service. Thank you so much guys! Absolutely I will be back.


    -Le Bao H.N.

  • Always friendly and professional staff. Mechanics you can trust and depend on.


    -Kim B.

  • Quick, great service; I highly recommend going to McLearen Shell.


    -Shahla M.

  • Honest people and excellent customer service!


    -Clay D.

  • The customer service at this shop is the greatest!! Steve and the staff take very good care you with professionalism and courtesy. Doesn't get any better that this!!


    -James T.

  • I have been in Herndon for 17 years. Most of the time, I took my Lexus and Acura and Honda to this shop for repairs and maintenances. Josh McMahon (current manager) and his crew are providing honest opinions about my cars' conditions and explained and showed you the problem if there were really problems. Several times when I felt something unusual and asked Josh for double checks, he and his crews examined my cars and explained the car conditions are OK and no repair is needed. When my Lexus really needed repairs, they provided excellent services. I have 100% confidence and trust for this auto shop.


    -Jian O.

  • Got tired of the price gouging and rude treatment at Ourisman Toyota so I gave Mclearen Shell my business. Couldn't be happier!! If you are looking for expert mechanics, fair prices, fast and friendly service this is the place to go for all your car mechanical repairs.


    -Sterling C.

  • For many years, McLearen Shell has serviced all our vehicles and they have never disappointed. They maintained our Hondas, even the CR-Z hybrid, and my beloved Ford Mustang. Heck, they've even done a safety check on our travel trailer. A couple of years ago, a close family friend asked if I knew a honest auto repair shop, I recommended McLearen Shell and ever since she brings her car in all the way from DC to get it fixed at McLearen Shell.


    -Frank P.

  • Fabulous shop! Honest, thorough, and very helpful! They've squeezed me in when they didn't have to and helped me most recently when I had a bolt stuck in my tire. Thank you!


    -Maria-Theresa D.

  • The service manager was very helpful, if you are tired of the typical auto service.. Try it you will be happy....fair prices and great service..they seem to be a family run business ..would recommend to everyone.


    -Seth B.

  • Picked up a nail in my RF tire awhile back. Nothing too serious - just a little annoying. Just had the tire repaired in less than 10 minutes (to include wait time). Price was a little expensive in my opinion, but then again so is everything else here in Northern Virginia. Very polite staff...


    -Jeff C.

  • Mclearen Shell is the place to take your vehicle. I was just there this morning. They have an all new management and staff. The mechanics are very knowledgeable, friendly, and they will actually think in your best interest, and advice you on what your best option is. They were not expensive and there was hardly any wait for service. I was helped almost immediately. I will definitely continue to bring my vehicle to this place. I wish I had found out about their service and quality sooner. It would have saved me time, money and headaches.


    -Jorge M.

  • Best service I had!! They took care of everything that needed fixing with my car in super quick time! The professional team there knew exactly what needed fixing and unlike other garages they didn't try to sell me additional services that I didn't need. Very high quality service. The service manager there Steve was realy friendly he took care of everything. Realy if you are looking for a good garage with quality repair and an astonishingly convenient price, then this is your go to garage!


    -George S.

  • My review is long overdue. After taking my car to a station close to my house for years and years, I was forced to find a new place. It's overwhelming and a challenge to find a place you trust. The team at Shell treated me like family from the moment I walked in. They are extremely thorough, and walk you through everything. They're also awesome at letting you know exactly what you need, and ONLY what you need. They don't attempt to push unnecessary work on you

  • Excellent People and Service!
