Auto repair shop opens in Annandale

Frontline Auto Plus opened on April 8 in Annandale in the space formerly occupied by Ravensworth Automotive.

The Cadima family, longtime Annandale residents, bought the service station, at 4321 Ravensworth Road, from the previous owner, who had retired. It’s located next to the Down the Line Sports Center.

Frontline offers oil changes, vehicle repairs, tire rotations, and inspections, says Emily Cadima. The gas pumps aren’t operational yet, but that should happen in about two weeks after they choose a distributor.

Cadima says it’s been the dream of her father, a mechanic in Arlington, to own his own auto business, so when they heard the shop on Ravensworth Road was available, they jumped on it.

They spent five weeks replacing the lifts, putting in new floors, repainting, and making other improvements. There’s a small convenience shop in the office, and there are plans to start doing detailing.

Frontline invites the community to its grand opening next Saturday, April 18, to enjoy refreshments and meet the team.
