I have had several good experiences at DP Auto. They are honest and do good work. They are also very willing to help out in a pinch when they can. When my battery died, I was able to the shop and replaced it while I waited. I also appreciate that they send reminders when your car is due for service. They have a very good, well-deserved reputation in the community. read more

I brought my 2010 Acura here for a misfire. The repair was successful, but the pricing is UNJUSTIFIED. I was charged $287 FOR A SINGLE IGNITION COIL, which is a 300% MARKUP over the retail price. The total bill of $690 for 1 coil and 4 plugs is excessive for a 4-cylinder engine. More importantly, they tried to sell me a "Fuel Induction Service." AMERICAN HONDA/ACURA OFFICIALLY ADVISES AGAINST THIS SERVICE, calling it an "UNNECESSARY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE." Honda warns that these chemicals can DAMAGE SENSITIVE ENGINE COMPONENTS like O2 sensors and the catalytic converter. To future customers: DO NOT ACCEPT THE INDUCTION SERVICE and CHECK YOUR PART PRICES before signing. The mechanics are skilled, but the price gouging and the attempt to sell services forbidden by the manufacturer are major red flags. read more

Quick and attentive for plugging a tire that got a nail. Highly recommend for this service.

Everything! Careful and great quality. A wonderful community resources . Very flexible and attentive

Couldn't tell you how the oil change was but I can tell you that the customer service and employees are the absolute WORST! When I called to make the initial appointment, the guy just randomly says to me "I'm assuming you haven't kept up on the maintenance very well right?" *sigh* Being that generalized misogynistic assumptions are pretty much expected when it comes to mechanics I let that slide, make an appointment, and am told they'll see me at 8am. Cool. Morning of, I pull up to see where I should go, etc and am instantly met by a man shaking his hand at me and barking "No no no, you can't park there! Do you have an appointment?!" When I say yes, he continues to bark at me and just points to nowhere in particular and tells me I have to go park "over there" and bring the keys. This being my first time, this is all new to me so I ask where "there" is. He barks again as he says the street, like I should already know that. Then when I tried to ask for clarification as to whether I would have to leave my car or if I could wait because I have to use my car for work, he just kept saying I don't know and then finally told me I'd have to talk to "the guy". So I go park, go to the office...nobody is there. So I ask who I can talk to and he then tells me that "the guy" isn't there. Like huh?! That was the final straw. Between the misogynistic assumption that I don't maintain my car well and getting barked at when I was simply trying to ask a question to better understand the process, I had had enough and just left. Living in the city you expect a bit of that, but this was way above and beyond. Do better read more

A mythical creature, often discussed but rarely seen - an auto repair company you can really trust. DP is that creature! I recently took my car in for AC work. The condenser was failing. The obvious and reasonable thing to do was replace it and make money on it. Instead, they looked up my car and found that the condenser was under a special extended warranty and that a dealer would repair it for free. Which they did. Thank you DP! I will never take my car anyplace else. read more

I am New to the Naples area from Staten Island and just had my car protected with PPF and it was a pleasure working with the team here, Yes, there're are many choices but, after my due diligence I felt I made the right choice using DP Pros. no regrets and I will be back for future projects George read more

They are skilled professional people! the service was quick. I really appreciate them!

I called a week in advance to schedule a routine oil change. I stressed that I needed the car before 5pm because I needed to pick up my kids. (No problem! said the person on the phone) We dropped the car off at the scheduled time. Was told to park on the street. I called about 2.5 hours later to ask if they could also check the tires. This person didn't ask me for my name or my car details just kind of grunted "ok" I hear nothing... 4:55pm rolls around and I hustle up to retrieve my keys. Three of the employees are just standing outside the garage chatting. I say "I'm here to pick up my car." They gesture to the office/the person who can get me my keys. I then proceed to wait several more minutes, it's past 5pm, I gotta go get my kids. Finally, I ask "Could one of you assist me? I just need to pay and get my keys, I have to pick up my children." One of those guys asks the office guy to help me. He grabs the folder with my keys in it. I ask "did you even look at my car?" "No, we didn't" I turn around and leave. No apology, no "bring it back on Monday we'll do it first thing", no offer to make it right. I will never try this place again. read more

Highly recommend this spot! David provided me with an on the spot battery replacement and the service was super fast. Great prices and even better customer service! read more

David has the best customer service of any business I've dealt with in DC. Fast, quality, affordable, responsive to calls and emails. Busy shop so schedule maintenance in advance - but that's because they have time for walkin quick fixes. Drove up today, a holiday, with a leaky tire and literally within two minutes they had the tire off working to fix it. And found the smallest, most annoying leak ever. Go local, take your car here! read more

I arrived just before they opened at 8am and was immediately greeted and told my car would be looked at right away. In less than an hour I had a call back and was told it was all ready to pick up. Amazing service with quick and honest results. read more

These guys are professional, efficient and competent. I took my car in for a rattle I could not describe well, and with an hour, they identified and remedied a simple problem, and then did not charge me for their time. When I have a more serious problem, I now know exactly where to come. read more

This wasn't a great experience. I feel like I got worked over and paid twice more than what I budgeted for after talking to them and getting "quoted". The quotes are BS... just seemed like they targeted me and called after I dropped it off with a bunch of other things wrong that needed immediate attention which also costs me hundreds more... The office is so disgusting I can't believe customers even have to go in there. I'm hella disappointed read more

David is one of the most efficient guys I have ever met. I showed up with questions about by brakes. He checked. We talked about it. He told me to come back the next morning and by mid-afternoon, the work was done, plus the oil change I had also asked. His team even took the initiative (without me asking) of putting up my front license plate which didn't have a proper stand. There is NO DOUBT that David's garage will be my go-to for any car's issues. read more

Misrepaired my Ford twice and I had to take it elsewhere, where they told me that this place weren't even using the right parts.

I have been going to DP Auto since I moved to DC as a grad student in 2017. I've always felt like I could rely on them for timely, affordable, and high quality service. They've done everything for me from coming in early when I had to leave for a road trip to not charging me when they had to refer me to a specialist shop. Happy to be a return customer! read more

I had tire slowly losing air - they found a nail and fixed it in about 10 minutes and I was back on the road for a out 1/3 the cost of a new tire. read more

DP Auto Service - Nailed it - Auto Repair Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

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 (and a little sad) that the secret's out on how great they are. read more

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. read more

Job done 10 out of 10. Honest mechanics. Change of front brakes done good and fast. Simply can't found other place with the same price)

Came to David after a dealership told me I needed thousands of dollars in repairs before a long road trip (they didn't say anything about the repairs until I told them about the trip). All of the reviews about DP Auto are true- David quickly took in my car, did an assessment and gave me an accurate timeline for when the car will need service. And based on reviews those repairs will be significantly better priced. read more

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! read more

So grateful they were able to squeeze me in today! My rear right tire has been making weird sounds for about a week now. With a long drive ahead of me in a couple of days, I knew I had to get it checked it soon. David, the owner, assisted me personally. He explained what was wrong with my car and answered all my questions with such patience (I had a lot of questions!). Within 10 minutes, the needed parts he ordered for my car arrived and he began working on my car, not minding that I was watching over his shoulder the entire time (I have a curious mind). I've been to other autoshops in the DMV area, DP Auto Service surpasses them all without question. Will be taking my car here for any service from now on! read more

DP Auto Service - Conveniently at a Shell Station. Get serviced then get gas! - Auto Repair Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Awesome service! I called in, asked for an open slot, arrived ten minutes later and they took me in. The oil change took around 30 minutes and boom! They were done. Really nice guys, they told me any additional things my car needed to be fixed eventually. Also, if you mention Yelp, you get a discount. They're very reasonably priced, synthetic oil for around $50 for my car (small Honda). Also! There's a cute bookstore cafe across the street you can wait in! Definitely recommend ! read more

Great shop didn't charge me for checking out companies van...and recommend to take to a specialist that deals with electric

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 years), our HVAC guy (20+ years), and David. How many mechanics can you say THAT about? read more

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! read more

4 stars for a very solid oil change experience. Living in the District (especially Georgetown) makes it a little harder to find service shops that provide both high quality and affordable prices. One of those types of services that is hard to find is auto shops. While I thought that I was going to have to drive over to Virginia to find a good spot to get my oil changed, I happened to be searching on Yelp for oil change shops while shopping at Whole Foods recently. When I saw that DP Auto Service popped up half a mile away with good reviews and a $29.99 oil change check-in offer, I decided to give them a try. I arrived at the shop, which is attached to a Shell gas station, and wasn't sure if this was going to work. There were a ton of cars around with few places to park and I didn't really see a separate entrance. However, I parked my car, went over to a mechanic and he directed me inside their small little office. I sat down and a very friendly attendant gave me the forms I needed to fill out and went through the process to make sure they could do the work (i.e. have my car's oil filter). Once confirmed, they told me to go check out the shops around the area as my car would be done in about an hour. The attendant also told me to be patient in case the work took more than an hour, which I appreciated since I always like places to under-promise and over-deliver rather than the other way around. I decided to walk over to the Whole Foods and finish my shopping. Just as I was checking out (about 35 minutes total time since leaving my car), I received a call from the shop telling me that my car was ready. Talk about fast! I walked back over, put my groceries in the car and talked to the mechanic. He told me that he found a small issue with the car. While I then prepared for the standard attempt to sign me up to pay for more services, he instead told me to check my warranty and look to get it fixed sometime soon. The lack of attempt to try to sell himself to make the repairs was something you don't see very often and something I very much appreciated since I like to look over my options at home before making those decisions. I then went into the back of the shop, received my invoice for the amount I was quoted, paid and headed out. What I thought was going to be an annoying experience was actually very seamless and exactly what I wanted out of my oil-change experience. Overall, DP Auto Service is a solid mechanic with solid prices and good professionalism and customer service. While it would be nice if they had more of a traditional mechanic's storefront, I will definitely be going back to them next time I need work done on my car. read more

DP Auto Service took care of my car when I needed an oil change. They also did the other checks you need every 5,000 miles. I took my car in around noon and it was ready by 3 that afternoon. (I had an appointment) While they did a great job and even performed additional checks, I need to subtract a star because they forgot to turn off my 'oil check' light and give me the new sticker. Not a huge deal, but it did require the inconvenience of going back there to get that done. When I brought it back they were super nice about it and fixed it right there on the spot which is why these guys are still 4 star worthy! read more

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. read more

Massively overrated, they are TOO BUSY to take time and care. I left a car for an oil change and two minor mechanical things (high beam, squeaky clutch pedal.) They left my car sitting on the street for two days before they did the oil change, and they ignored the other items. Sorry to bother you guys, it won't happen again. read more

David and his team are always great to work with. They are both fast and thorough. It's such a relief having a great, local auto place nearby! read more

Amazing service. Honest and really good guys. I was visiting the area and had a mechanical problem on a Friday afternoon. I couldn't get my car in at the dealer and I am glad I couldn't. This team was knowledgeable, fast and really nice. Highly recommend. read more

I came in with a check engine light and David helped me immediately! No charge! I will def be a loyal customer now.

One of the few car repair shops in DC where they don't treat you like an idiot. Excellent service and quick turnaround times.

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. read more

Quick turnaround, great service, honest work. Not really much else to ask for when it comes to auto service. I've been coming here now for over a year and DP has earned my trust and business. His service is just unbeatable and the work is done so well. There was an issue that was caused by a local dealership that DP troubleshooted and fixed within a matter of minutes. But most importantly, integrity and honesty are the badges that the company values. It's hard to find mechanics that will be straight forward with you without trying to take more of your money. Really appreciate their work. read more

I have always maintained my cars at the car dealerships for 2 reasons: - the car usually has a 3 year/30,000 mile service-included warranty package when I get the car, or - if above service package had ended, I just felt more "comfortable" at a dealership because the techs "specialize" in my brand of cars. Well, all that went out the window earlier this year when I was quoted $1700 to change my brake pads and rotors (I drive a luxury German SUV). In years past, I would definitely have gawked at the price, tried to negotiate with my service advisor (with little to no luck), then unwillingly approve the service, and pay their crazy expensive prices. So my sister (who also drives a luxury German car), had been taking her cars to DP Auto for years. For repairs and fixes that are not included in her warranty, she always went to DP Auto. So I finally asked her opinion about my $1700 dilemma and she said "Take your car to David!" Months have passed since David and his guys changed my brake pads and rotors. Since then, they've also changed my tires. And each time I saved hundreds compared to the dealership's prices. I honestly don't know why I waited to long to come here. I really trust David and DP Auto. Very reasonable prices, great customer service, and highly recommended. Thanks guys! read more

Just an update on how awesome DP auto is. I've had my Tiguan for 10 years and for the first time, my check engine light came on. With slight panic, I popped a quick U-ey and went straight to DP auto. Despite how busy they were, David and his team took the time to trouble shoot and find out what the root of the problem was. Also, as a young female, I'm weary of auto shops taking advantage of my lack of knowledge about cars (like the Volkswagen service center in Bethesda did to me) but I can promise you that David at DP auto is extremely honest and will not overcharge you. read more
