I live out of town and DP auto did an amazing same day repair for a complex issue so that I could drive back home. Only advice is get there early in the day because they are very popular!

Been going to DP for years but they really mislead me this time and it just really rubbed me the wrong way. Brought my car in with a simple tire chirp and asked they just address that. Well, they charge me $500+ for rear brakes and swear that's the issue after I ask a ton of questions. Noise returns immediately. A week later, I took it to another garage and they said DP definitely knowingly mislead me Bc there's no way that could've been the issue. Never going back.

I'm lucky to have these guys in my neighborhood. I told them I needed a new spare tire and they hooked me up the next day.

Dave is the best mechanic. I have a 20 year old car that I hope to drive for 20 more years because of Dave. I have never been condescended to by anyone on his staff and never feel ripped off. In fact, he often charges me less than his estimate and regularly tells me not to bother to fix some stuff. He also lets me order after-market parts myself and then I just pay his team labor costs. Everyone who works there is nice, enormously competent and clearly enjoys their work.

Great service. Quick, honest, no typical show stuff to jack up the cost. I hope I dont need their service soon (!), but they got a new returning customer.

You simply will not find a better, more trustworthy auto shop anywhere.

We have brought our cars to David and his team for several years now. He is like a trusted family doctor. I tell him the symptoms, he examines, and comes back with a recommendation which - more often than not - has been a minor fix/adjustment, or advising me not to worry about it for now if it's an aging part (we have older cars).

Plus he's done things for us at no charge.

There are three tradespeople I trust enough to turn a situation over to without hesitation and do whatever's needed: our plumber (25

This was my second time taking my 13-yr old Hyundai Accent to DP Auto...and I wish I had starting going there years ago. My neighbors kept telling me this was the place to go but I was tied to an extended warranty deal with the dealer, which finally ran out last year. It's SO much better to deal with a neighborhood auto place, like this one. They are very reasonable, very nice, and honest! Glad I finally got the word about this place!

Recently had rear brakes and rotors replaced along with spark plugs and fuel induction service on my Mazda and was SO pleased with the efficiency of the shop, communication, and same-day service. In an email request for pricing, David provided me with the estimated costs per service within the hour. Rare find for an auto repair shop: quick, reliable, fair pricing, and honest. Will definitely be returning for future maintenance.

Super attentive and fast! I took my car in for a check up and they were quick with some minor fixes and informed me I needed new tires, which they were able to schedule me in for a appointment a few days after. And to go above and beyond, they texted me after a few days to make sure everything was good.

My friend and roommate, Ethan, referred me to these guys and I’m very glad he did! I’ve been to DP three times now with various car issues, and they’re always very clear about what the problem is and how to fix it. David and his crew are always having a good time and it’s clear that they are enjoying what they do, which makes the trip there so much more bearable. It seems like the rest of the reviews agree with me on this. They have gained my trust and as long as I’m in DC, I will always head to DP for any auto issues I encounter. Thanks again!

DP Auto Service is excellent. They pay attention to their customers and their work. It is great that they have a modern IT system and use email and text. I hope to take my old cars there to keep the cars alive for a while longer.

I've gone in a few times now and they just seem like honest people. As one example, I asked about my breaks and they took a quick look and said I didn't need to to do anything about them for a few more months.

Just the best, everyone else knows it too these days, judging by the parking situation there.

I've brought my car in a few times, and they always go the extra mile to treat you like a friend would, and as my last car was nearing the end of it's useful life, saying it would be better to look for something new instead of paying a lot to fix it.

Recent maintenance work comes with a follow up to see how the car is running, and they've worked after business hours to make sure my car's ready to go when they said.

Their word means a lot to their customers, and I'm both happy

First time customer but one of the best automotive mechanic shop experiences I've had in 20 years. My wife found DP on a list of trusted area mechanics on our neighborhood list serve - what stood out to me were comments that DP was "honest" and gave "straight answers" -- I found that to be 100% accurate.

I called DP for an estimate on repairs after our car was at a dealership for factory recall work and they wanted an astounding amount to fix a check engine light issue that the car was also having -- and as a non-mechanic (though self-proclaimed car nut) it didn&apos

I've been bringing my cars here for a few years now, and the service is always terrific. The price is reasonable, and their customer service is probably some of the best I've ever experienced. I'm always struck that David remembers me or my car, even though I only stop by every few months. You just don't seem to see that kind of care anymore at other establishments.

My car was badly knocked up in an accident but I know exactly where I'll be taking it!
