Everything!!!!! Mike and team exceed expectations every time we go there. My family and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

2 Stars is fitting overall. I don't know how this place has the reviews it does, I genuinely was excited to see the community pour so many thoughtful reviews but now I'm not sure. I paid over $450 to assess why my air wasn't cooling at a expected rate Ex: 20 minutes to just become slightly cooler & then barely cool once it finally gets there. This did not include dyes to check for leaks, this didn't add refrigerant (apparently was pretty under utilized for a 2015 car, which may be a clue in itself since I've never had this serviced), this didn't charge fans, this didn't change filters, fluids, this was strictly a "diagnostic" fee. The next step was to add dyes and maybe check into the condenser & compressor .. which wasn't made clear if that had been assessed for performance or not. I don't know what that would have cost! I didn't get further communication on this. My air is still not performing or improved, as I'd hope and I'm out near $500. I've been going to this place over the last 6 years for here and there services. I've mostly been fine with those minor services but the price is definitely steeper than others in the area. I didn't mind because as the reviews would show - they don't press and harass you to do more .. and I figured they likely have an edge in quality based on reviews (I do lack experience with mechanics). Either way, I have tried numerous times to get my records from this business so that I could keep track of my oil changes and services, as well as to have in hand the record of the air conditioning diagnostics already performed ...so that I can actually fix the issue. To which voicemails have not provided any call backs, one time I got through to a nice woman (do not recall name), told her what I was looking for, she said to call "Donna" (manager I believe) at another number .. so I do that, speak with Donna twice asking for this information, she takes name & number and says she'll get back to me, still I wait, weeks go by, nothing. It's just unprofessional. Over it. read more

Tony was absolutely outstanding. Dealership wanted to charge me a crazy amount to fix the AC. Tony had me bring the SUV in for a look and he had it fixed in a couple of hours at a fraction of the dealership's cost. Great professionalism, technical expertise and family service. I will bring all my cars here from now on. read more

Great shop. Family operated and charged honest price. Shop owner is dragracer and hot-rod builder. It's hard to find these shops amymore

Super nice couple that owns and operates. Prices are very reasonable and...I trust them. Did a nice brake job and evaluation of other items. Been 5 months with no problems! read more

Direct to the point. Will explain things to you in details. The only auto shop I trust

We called them last minute to look at a car for us before we buy it and they couldn't have been kinder. I was so impressed with their ability to get us in and give us an honest and accurate assessment of the car. And it was quick and affordable. I'm so impressed and wished we lived closer to make them our go-to person. Can't say enough great things! read more

This is a wonderful, honest, reliable, and reasonably priced auto shop that I love recommending to my friends and family! Tony is an excellent and very knowledgeable tech who has been helping me with my car for years. His pricing for repairs such as brakes, starter, headlights, and engine issues are unbeatable around the Northern Virginia area. I always recommend calling ahead to allow him some fair lead-time and he is always happy to fit you in and help! read more

I showed up to this place of business just a few minutes before closing on a Friday afternoon. I explained to the owner what was happening with my vehicle. He went out side where I had parked. It was at least 98 degrees outside at this time, he looked at the wheel where he pushed on the back cover of the wheel assembly. The rock that was inside that area popped out. Problem fixed!!! I did visit two other sights to look at my problem and neither one would step out side to see my problem. I will definitely be telling people about how CATOCTIN AUTOMOTIVE took care of my problem. read more

Friendly, easy to work with, efficient with time. I went to have 2 cars inspected and the whole process was very smooth

Great local place. Honest. Won't rip you off or upsell you on stuff you don't need. Definitely the place to go in the Leesburg area.

Really like this place. Seems like it's hard to find an honest automotive repair place. But we believe we found it! After using several other places, The Yelp community steered us to this place. It's a small business, but they provide excellent service. Prices are extremely reasonable, and they do a great job with your vehicle. Great place!! read more

Superb service and repairs every single time!! Our family is so fortunate to have found them years ago!! Trustworthy , expert care and honest pricing! Ten stars! Cookie R. F. read more

Check engine light on diagnostic and fixed. No problem reasonable price . Recommend will go back again

Good service fair prices so stay away so I can get my cars fixed faster. Nice people

Love this place. Ready to be regular customers... We have had some challenges finding a reliable place to have routine auto service. Previous places were either too far away or trying to up the bill for an oil change to several hundred dollars by "finding stuff." This family-run business was easy to reach and clearly not pushing repairs on us that we did not need. When I had questions about the need for brake replacement, I felt no pressure. When I picked up the car and had questions about some of the items billed, I was able to speak to the mechanic that did the work and was not made to feel uncomfortable about it. Overall, great experience. We'll be back! read more

After contacting several shops in the area about fixing a tailpipe that had rusted through, Catoctin Automotive was the first to say they could assist. Tony got me in for a quote right away and had me all set and back on the road within a few days. The customer service here is excellent. Tony even took the time to check local shops as well as research online to help find exhaust tips that would fit my installation. Pricing was very reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Catoctin Automotive - Custom tail pipes, after market exhaust tips - Auto Repair Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

So overall a lovely time over the phone and in person, but the labor prices are quite steep.

Being an amateur mechanic, I am very critical of auto repair services and find that its hard to find honest mechanics. Due to lack of time on my part, I took one of our cars to Catoctin Automotive to fix a leaking AC issue. I already knew which part need to be replaced and the cost of the part. These guys identified the same part, charged me the actual cost of the part, and had fair prices on completing the work. They also identified a couple other issues I had missed since I don't have a lift and I gave them the go-ahead to fix them. Like I said, its hard to find honest mechanics and I'm glad I have these guys to go to if I need another pair of hands. read more

Excellent service. Incredibly reasonable and quality work. Other places were charging me 3x as much. What's more, I was given options and cost estimates before the work was done. Very satisfied! read more

They were able to diagnose a battery drain problem on my truck that my regular mechanic missed. They fixed it at a reasonable price,too. I will definitely use them again! Very nice people and they are very good about explaining things. read more

After getting sticker shock over the dealership quote to replace a timing belt, water pump and drive belts, I requested a quote via Yelp from Catotcin Automotive, based on the glowing reviews here. I had the quote and a follow up courtesy call from Tony in less than a hour following my request. They completed the requested service and my total bill out the door was approximately $500 less than the dealer quote. Tony was a pleasure to deal with, and I will look no further. These folks are the real deal. read more

Had a very good experience. They worked with me on the cost of installing two new axels and an air conditioning condenser for my Highlander. I brought my Highlander in and was told it would be ready the next day. I received a phone call early the next day explaining I had a seized wheel bearing and would need an additional part that would take a day or so for the dealer to bring in. They explained it would be another $180 for the part but the labor price would stay the same. I thought that was very fair so I agreed. About 15 minutes later I received another call saying how they were able to free and remove the old seized bearing and won't need the new part and I could come pick up the truck as planned. That was how great this shop is. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs work done on their vehicle. read more

Good people. No fear of getting ripped off for things that aren't necessary. They did great work and fit me in the same day.

Great family owned and run company! They get you in quickly, and their services are fairly priced and reasonable. Zero attempts to up-sell you stuff, which I really appreciate. They know what they are doing and take pride in their work. They also provide friendly, personable service. Highly recommend. read more

They had me at "We can take your car in in an hour." So glad to find this hidden gem. Needed an oil change for my Audi and safety inspection. I'm sure I just lucked out with an opening that day but was in and out in 40 min. Will definitely be back. read more

My sister speaks highly of this place and I finally know why!!! Took my flat tire and without an appt they were ready to help. Since I had my spare in place they said they were booked for the day but would be able to work on it if I could just leave the tire. A couple hours later they called saying they fixed it and they'll be ready to put back on. Wow!!! What great service!! Thank you so much!! read more

I can't say enough nice things about this mechanic! If you're looking for an honest, fair and genuine auto shop, look no further. The staff are friendly and kind, and we felt like we were in great hands with their knowledge and recommendations. We absolutely trusted their knowledge and skill. We'll absolutely return for more service! read more

Just simply the best in town. No BS (like SO many automotive repair shops in NoVa) just great service and a friendly staff. This place feels like stepping into the past, before 'mechanic' became synonymous with 'shark'. Bravo! read more

My car broke down on the side of the road (was turning on and off as I drove) and after searching yelp for good places to tow it, I came across Catoctin auto and it was impressed by the full five star reviews... so I called and found out they were closing in 2 hours and asked if I could get my tow to them. They said yes, and that I could leave it there overnight and they would get to it as soon as possible! So I did get it towed there and they were very kind and helpful. Then they called the following day to say it was finished. The prices were very reasonable and the wonderful service. I will surly take my car here for anything. 100% recommend. read more

Walked in praying for best case scenario of waiting 90 minutes and sinking $150. Walked out in 10 minutes and putting in $20, all issues resolved. Come here. Reviews aren't joking. Would give it six stars if I could. --STORY-- My car failed the safety inspection, and required two new tires and reworking of the parking brake. I called more than 5 places around Sterling and Leesburg. Two new tires were quoted between $280 - $350 (~$140 each), and brake work ranged from $200 - 300 including labor (around $110/hour), totaling anywhere from $500 - 650. Talked to Caleb at this shop. He was honest, said brakes may just require an adjustment. I missed the Friday morning appointment, so I rescheduled for Monday morning. I arrive at 8:10am and meet the owner, Mr. Rollins. He remembers it's about the parking brake (I got my wheels done elsewhere,* read below). He finishes his tire installation on another car in three minutes, comes back and asks for keys and says he'd look. Mind you, assessments are $40 - $50 if you don't get the work done there. At this point I think this is still worth the $50 assessment from some honest folk who I hope would cut me a deal. Next ten minutes, I hear some cranking in the shop you can see through windows. I pace myself hoping for some good news. 8:23am Mr. Rollins comes back with the car, and says, "You're all set." I look back, puzzled. So it's just an adjustment? Yeah. I just tweaked it. Still puzzled, I repeat what his words. He confirms, he finished the adjustment. Baffled, I ask how much it'll be. $20. I drive out 15minutes after arrival, all issues resolved. Go straight to safety inspection place (Auto Solutions, Leesburg), I pass with flying colors. Thank you Catoctin. I'll be sending plenty of business your way. This is the place you want to come to. If your chief complaint is that it doesn't have nice amenities, I think you're probably looking for a coffee shop down the road. This is an auto shop, the kind of place that actually embraces the CRAFT. Remarkable. **Got wheels done at Walmart Superstore in Dulles Town Center. Also 5 stars. Ask for Richard. read more

Very fast and reasonable price. They helped me with some issues with my jeep like the doors were stuck and didn't charge a dime. Will be returning for future issues. read more

Totally positive experience... car just went over 200k - service light came on, but at the same time, it had been acting up when I started it. I gave it the 'internet diagnosis' went to Catoctin - told him what I thought it was... turned out the battery was just failing. He recommended a couple fluid changes ( trans fluid was brown!). Then when I said I would handle filters/battery myself, there was no hard sale or push back --- like I've experienced at most other shops. I'll be back... read more

Fantastic service! My mini convertible was in excellent hands!! Friendly, reliable, honest, and trustworthy. This is the only shop I will go to. read more

Friendly, and fair. Had a great experience the last time I brought it in and bringing my next car in too! Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing shop. I went to the "Tire Shop" in Leesburg which has since been bought out by AAA. I went to Catoctin Automotive for a second opinion on the $1,900 repair the other shop told me I needed to have on my vehicle. Catoctin automotive lifted my car, did a complete evaluation and found nothing wrong with my vehicle. The repairs AAA told me I needed were completely bogus. Thank god for Catoctin Automotive. They are a great shop, honest and just do good small business. Hard to come by these days. read more

I want to say thank you to Ramsey and Catoctin Auto Group. I bought a red Mini Cooper Hardtop from them, and I am extremely happy with the purchase. The car is great, and Ramsey really took the time to go through all of it's features, making me feel at ease about the purchase. Ramsey and his dad are clearly honest guys who know a lot about cars, want you to be happy with what you drive, and who won't pressure you into the sale. The car I bought had low mileage and was very fairly priced. I would buy from them again! I really recommend Catoctin Automotive - you won't be disappointed. There is a reason this place has such great reviews! read more

I highly recommend this as honest mechanics who are not charging ridiculous prices are hard to find. Mike the owner is happy to make a decent living but lives by the mantra of an honest work for honest pay. You will not find any frills so stop going to the dealer to pay exorbitant costs for your rental car during service, AC and a few snacks while you wait for your overpriced estimate that is full of BS. Heck if you give up the amenities and are willing to hop on a bus to get back and forth or call Enterprise for your own rental car and find this place you will save literally THOUSANDS of dollars over paying lying dealer prices in this area. The difference is this is a small family owned business started by a man who loves the work he does and is happy to provide good service to others. If something is out of scope of the shop's knowledge they readily acknowledge such and refer to where you can get someone who knows (but honestly that is rare, but engine repairs should have engine specialist for example). read more

FIRST OFF ID LIKE TO SAY THAT I HATE TAKING MY CAR PLACES TO GET WORK DONE!! I FEEL LIKE EVERY SHOP IS OUT TO GET YOU & YOUR MONEY!! I'VE BEEN SEARCHING HIGH AND LOW FOR A TRUSTWORTHY SHOP AND I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THE SEARCH IS OVER!!! =) (excuse the caps, but i feel very strongly about the statements above!) I took my car in based on a recommendation from two of my friends. My car's wheel were making a funny noise and my steerling wheel was shaking and I was honestly scared to continue driving. Thats when I decided to try out Catoctin Automotive. I dropped it off after hours. My car was ready to go by the next day. Turns the person before who worked on my car had put the wrong size screws and my wheels were about to pop off. I picked up my car and everything was perfect! My second experience there was equally as satisfying. My cars breaks were squealing horribly so I took my car in this morning and was able to pick it up by lunch time! Turns out a piece hold my brake was broken and just needed to be replaced. No one tried to up selling anything I didn't need! Oh and I mention I got an oil change too! Definitely recommend everyone to stop by and see Tony! read more

Tony and Catoctin Automotive are fantastic. Within one day Tony, expertly diagnosed and fixed both over-heating and brake issues! I recently purchased a classic car which had thousands of dollars of "work" done by a specialty hot rod shop. It turns out my suspicions were correct and most of that work was not done, or done very poorly. Tony expeditiously and very transparently helped identify and fix all issues. Fully trust and respect his efforts, and will exclusively be using Catoctin going forward! Thanks!! read more
