Family-owned auto repair business ranks #112 on the 2025 Inc. Regionals: Mid-Atlantic list after expanding from one to seven locations in just six years.
Alexandria, VA – April 4, 2025 — Craftsman Auto Care, a family-owned and community-focused auto repair business, has been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the Mid-Atlantic region. The company ranked #112 on the 2025 Inc. Regionals: Mid-Atlantic list, which highlights the most successful independent businesses in the Mid-Atlantic.
Since opening its first location in Alexandria in 2017, Craftsman Auto Care has grown to seven locations across Northern Virginia, including Ashburn, Chantilly, Fairfax, McLean, Merrifield, and Sterling/Cascades.
“We’re really grateful for this recognition,” said owner and founder Matt Curry. “More than anything, it brings a deep sense of appreciation – for the team that shows up every day, the customers who trust us, and the partnerships that helped us grow. This journey has always been about people, not just progress.”
Growth Fueled by Community
Craftsman Auto Care attributes its growth to strong community relationships and local partnerships. Supporting neighbors and giving back has been a cornerstone of the company’s mission from the beginning.
Some of the community programs that reflect Craftsman Auto Care’s commitment include:
- Craftsman Cares: Provides essential auto repairs and transportation support to individuals and families in need.
- Winner’s Circle Fundraiser: Helps local schools, youth teams, and nonprofits raise funds through a discount card program. This is no-cost and no-obligation to organizations, and they keep 100% of the proceeds.
- Cars and Coffee: Occasional events that bring the community together while raising funds (nearly $8,000 to date) for local charities.
- Feed A Hero: A COVID-era initiative that raised $34,000 and delivered over 3,000 meals to healthcare workers and first responders, while supporting local restaurants.
Looking Ahead
While the company has expanded significantly in six years, Craftsman Auto Care remains grounded in the same values it started with – integrity, service, and care for people.
“This has never just been a business,” said Curry. “It’s about making a positive impact for customers, employees, and the community.”
