I have been a Precision Auto customer for decades, for really my entire lifetime as a driver. Just…read moreabout everyone in my family is a customer as this point, and that includes both sides of a large family. I wish I knew enough about the nuts and bolts to convince you categorically that they are the best, but here's what I can say: I do remember not long ago that they won what I understand to be THE national competition for best auto shop in the country, and I have to imagine that was a pretty big deal for a family-run business. So if you're just looking for people who know what they're doing, well that should be enough right there. I can tell you that they are the type of people who remember your name when you walk in, and that you will most likely have a few laughs while you're there. How often can someone say they have fond memories of getting their car repaired? I can, and I'm smiling right now thinking of how much my Dad loved talking with them about the world, and pretty much everything in it by the time we left... They have guided him and myself over the span of two vehicles each. Come to think of it, that's pretty good for over 30+ years, especially when we're still driving the latter two. Not to mention the first one I bought was, we'll say: not a good year from not a good company. They cut me so much slack, and put in so much extra work on that car for me. The hardest part for them though, had to be convincing me to buy a reliable, maintainable car next time, and convincing my Dad when it was time to let go of the truck he took such good care of for such a long time. In my case, it was a matter of helping me understand which makes and models not only last a long time, but will also save me a bunch of money over time. Such is the case on parts and labor, when the parts are easier to get, and the car is easier to fix, DUH... For my Dad, it was a matter of bedside manner, explaining that we've reached that time when the repairs are going to start costing more than the vehicle is worth. I say all that, because one way to tell whether someone is honest or not, is if you can point to some advice they gave you at the expense of their own profit. In a world where honesty is not a given in any industry, I think those are pretty good examples of where it still exists.

I brought a Tesla Model Y to them in order to have a wheel swapped out and have the front end…read moreinspected. Most folks don't know this, but Performance models of these cars blow through suspensions every ~70k miles or so. Precision charged me for the tire swap (move TPS to new wheel and re-mount on the new wheel), but they also charged me an hour of labor to inspect the front end, something that they already had in clear view when on the lift when they were doing the tire work. However, I was fine with it as long as they did a complete job and reported accurate information. I was planning on having them also replace the main front end components anyway, but they will NOT install any parts that they did not get for your car. Even if they are OEM parts from the manufacturer of your car. (Tesla parts are a PITA to get in a timely fashion sometimes, and having to wait for them to arrive is not a great customer service experience... especially when they are OEM parts. I'm assuming it's not just liability, but that Precision wants the markup on the parts over a providing a good customer service experience.) Precision came back and told me there was nothing wrong with the front end of the vehicle. immediately knew that this was impossible. No Tesla Model Y Performance with the original suspension is fine at 85,000 miles. I asked a buddy at a Porsche dealer to look at the front end and ALL FOUR bushing in the front end components were torn. Literally, if the technician from Precision Auto had looked them, it would have been obvious. If the technician missed it, Precision has a serious issue. I did call them. I asked to speak to the manager. The person that called me back sounded awfully young but listened to me vent and indicated he's refund my money for the inspection. (He took my credit card info for the refund, so fingers crossed there.) I'm really sure based on that experience that Precision Auto is not where you want to go if you have a Tesla. I told them exactly what they needed to look for and I've got to wonder if the server desk told the tech anything that I mentioned. (I do have alot of experience working on cars. I just don't want to do it.) At least they did a good job with the tire... -shrug-

After 2 months and reviewing the service manual I discovered that he didn't refill the ATF after replacing the A/T cooler hose to the radiator! After I put in a quart of ATF everything worked great. The bill shows the repair wrong as "engine oil cooler hoses" (which I don't have) and doesn't show a charge for ATF either. Asked for a partial refund and he said no. He said you should have brought it back sooner - that's a joke since mechanics never find intermittent problems! Plus, I'm not going to waste more of my time there - professional mechanics are supposed to do it right the first time. That's what I'm paying for! Pretty sad that a "professional" mechanic wouldn't refill the ATF after losing some during the repair.

The team at Euro Motorcars in Germantown, however, provided outstanding service without ever making me feel bad for loving my older car. That commitment was put to the ultimate test with a persistent, tricky check-engine light. I had brought the car in for the same issue over an extended period, and the initial fixes just weren't resolving it. When I brought this frustration to their attention, they didn't treat me like a difficult customer. Instead, they simply doubled down on making it right. They kept my vehicle--and kept me in a brand-new loaner--until the issue was fully resolved. It took several months, including a master service call directly to German engineers. Throughout the entire process, communication was stellar. I received regular updates, had a long, reassuring conversation with the Service Director, and was even invited to talk through the mechanics directly with the technician working on my car. Because the diagnosis was so complex, they made some initial missteps--and rather than passing those costs on to me, they absorbed them entirely. It is rare for a business to take a frustrating situation and turn it into a genuinely positive experience. Hats off to the service team at Euro Motorcars for living up to the Mercedes ideals of quality, craftsmanship, and integrity.

Not to rip-off his customers. He's honest and fair. He will make a great effort to get parts as close to cost as possible with little markup. The cost for labor is a "labor of love" and the bottom line to the customer beats any dealership quote. Ourisman gave me $650 quote on a repair, Germantown Service Center did it for $300!

They told me to keep an eye on the tire pressure for the next couple weeks and bring it back if the light comes back on and stays on so that they can dismount the tire and do a further inspection. I really appreciated their attention to my concern. I may start coming here for all services.

He answered my seemingly incessant questions about the car and how a lease works. He not only answered my questions i a timely manner, he was willing to text and chat until I was content. When I found a road block he worked with me to get through it. Not only an amicable solution, he found a better car under my required monthly payment with more features than I anticipated. On Tuesday morning he came to pick me up at my store in Falls Church, VA (The Gun Dude) and drove me to Germantown, MD (because they don't sell electric Smart cars in Virginia) 45 minutes later. The conversation on the way to the store was stimulating and his energy was evident. At the car dealer he was very attentive to my every need. He offered coffee and water and served it to me not seconds after I was through the door. We even spent a few minutes learning how to install the panels on one of the model Smart cars. I took my new car (my first new car ever) for a test drive and was more than pleased with the product. Upon return we completed the papers, during which he very patiently answered every question I had about the contracts, and when he did not know the answer he said as much...and then went to find the answer!!!!! I wish this guy worked for me, seriously. Once the lease paperwork was complete he walked me through the features of my new car and plugged it in for a full charge before I left. The charge took longer than expected so he gave me a loaner car to get lunch. While at lunch he realized the charge and detailing would take a bit longer than we anticipated so he gave me the loaner so I could get back to my business. He then drove my car to me (a 45 minute drive) and picked up the lender car at about 7pm. I highly recommend this Smart Center in Germantown and I strongly recommend you ask for Jeff if you want the best car buying experience of your life!!!
