I highly recommend Genuine Auto Repair! Jorge was awesome to work with- very transparent, honest and detailed/thorough. (I asked a million questions... and he was so patient) He repaired my transmission, alternator and a few other things on my second vehicle which had been parked for a while. Thanks to Jorge, and Arturo my vehicle is up and running like brand new again! Definitely check them out for all service needs! I would give ten stars if I could! read more

In March 2025, my daughter purchased a used 2018 Audi Q5 from Karen Radley dealership in Virginia. Prior to purchasing, we inquired about any issues with the car, and we were told there were no issue by the dealer. On 8/18/25, my daughter took her 2018 Audi Q5 to an Audi dealership in Silver Spring, Maryland for its 100k tune-up. During that inspection, the Silver Spring dealer said she had a coolant leak and that it was going to cost $8k to repair it. We hadn't noticed any leaks and the indicator lights didn't alert her that there was a leak of any kind, so we decided to get a second opinion. On 8/20/25, my daughter and I took her Audi Q5 to Jorge at Genuine Auto Repair for a second opinion about the leak the dealer found. Jorge was my regular mechanic, and I trusted him. I called Jorge and asked if he would look at my daughter's car to ensure its safety and that there weren't any issues before we moved her out of state. I purposely didn't tell Jorge of the issue discovered by the dealer. I wanted to see if he would come to the same conclusion. If the leak had been corroborated, we had planned to get rid of the car. Jorge said to leave the car with him. We returned several hours later, and Jorge told us there were no issues. I asked him if he got under the engine cover to get a thorough look, at which time he began to get fidgety and nervous. I said, I am asking because the dealer said there was a coolant leak, and we are trying to get a second opinion, he began fidgeting again and "offered" to put the car on the lift. He put the car on the lift and said he didn't see any issues and that there weren't any leaks, so I paid him $95 for the inspection. In October, the coolant light started coming on, and my daughter has since found out that it will cost 8k to fix. It's unsafe to drive. Now we have to get rid of the car. She is now without a car. I called Jorge on 11/17/2025 to let him know and asked him to refund my $95 he refused and argued with me instead. To the owner's wife's unintelligent response, you don't do the work on these cars nor have you at anytime been involved in any conversation I have had with Jorge about any repair he's fixed for me! You don't know what I can afford! Anyone with half a brain would not pay 8k to fix a car! We went to Jorge to get a second opinion about an issue and HE DIDN'T THOROUGHLY CHECK THE CAR LIKE I PAID HIM TO DO. That is the issue here. NOT DOING WHAT HE WAS PAID TO DO. Had Jorge really checked the car on 8/20/2025, and seen the leak, we would have gotten rid of the car. Instead, because he gave us a false "all clear", we kept the car, and the issue grew unknowingly, and now the car is unsafe to drive as of 11/17/2025. There are some cars that Jorge isn't equipped to work on, and he needs to be honest with his customers if that is the case, and NOT TAKE THEIR MONEY, BUT INSTEAD REFER THEM TO SOMEONE ELSE. Now either Jorge or his illiterate wife have just texted me this: read more

Jorge was an amazing person to work with! I live in California and he answered my many calls regarding my son's vehicle. He was quick in getting my son his vehicle back and at a very reasonable price. I 100% recommend his shop. :) read more

This place is true to it's name, the shop owner is honest and genuine about his work. You can clearly tell that he has a true passion in working and dealing with cars. I am deaf, so when I showed up unprepared and my phone was dead he made sure I had what I needed so I could communicate when my van had a bad battery. He took his time really going through all of the problems and fixed my van back into working condition. I called different shops and they wanted thousands of dollars for a replaced transmission. not when I came here, which was my last resort and he gave me a reasonable and affordable price. He was very true to his word, when he said the work would be done it was but his work exceeded my expectations because he did more than what I originally paid him for. Do not waste your time with other shops and their bullshit fees-you'd be saving time AND money coming here. I will come back again if there's another issue because I feel I can trust that my car will be taken care of and there would be no additional charges. well worth it! read more

Our check engine light was on and we were unsure why. It was on a Saturday when many auto repair shops were closed. We contacted Genuine Auto Repair who was open and was very responsive on Yelp. And he was available to look at our car. There were several possible issues with our car and he quoted a reasonable price to fix it. Thankfully what he suggested to do worked in getting our check engine light off! He was very helpful and informative. read more

Awesome experience with a qualified technician. Fir the first time, I did not feel cheated. I may have found my mechanics for life.

My car would not start and I was looking for a shop to have my car towed. I read the reviews for Genuine Auto Repair, called and was told they were very busy but would look at my car that day. They were good on their word, charged a reasonable rate and fixed my car when they said they would (in a very timely manner). The shop is small and very busy. I was very happy with the service. read more

Fantastic experience! Went there for a timing belt issue that I thought I had. My regular mechanic said as much but quoted me a price of $1500 so I looked elsewhere. Found Genuine auto repair via Yelp and they quoted me a price of $400. After they examined my car they quickly realized it wasn't a timing belt issue but something else. Genuine was honest, quick (24 hour turnaround) and highly responsive via text. I will gladly come back. read more

If I could give Jorge 10 stars I would! If you live in his area use him! From out of town - no need to worry! My daughter broke down in the Baltimore tunnel. She was driving from NH to Florida. I had to find somewhere to tow it at 3:55 on Saturday evening. I live in Florida. I Googled and found Genuine open then and open on Sunday. They closed at 4pm - Jorge answered the phone and said of course have it towed here "I will wait for her" he allowed me to text him to update. She didn't arrive until 6:30. He took her car, worked on it that night, Sunday and had it ready on Monday night. He was so friendly, so transparent, sent me pictures of everything and was very fair with his prices. Though more was needed he told me it could wait - he never pushed anything on me - just what was needed to get her on her way! Fantastic, trustworthy mechanic. read more

Our van needed a sway bar repair, brakes, and a new seat. Jorge fixed them all for us, for a very fair price.

Brought my truck in for possible repair stemming from emissions testing and the gentlemen took a look at my vehicle and gave me an honest and fair quote on what it was going to take to repair the vehicle. From further conversations I was satisfied that he knew what he was talking about. I decided not to repair my vehicle because of it's age, but would recommend this shop to others in the future. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Genuine Auto Repair; as their name suggests, they are genuine!!!! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate their honesty and help. Similoluwa was very responsive and flexible; allowing me to change the time I came into the shop. Additionally, he gave me a quote and a reasonable deal prior to taking the vehicle into the shop. He did not fix what was not broken but did tell me about other issues he saw and how I could remediate them. I greatly appreciate YOUR kindness, honesty, and assistance. read more

Seamless and reasonable service. Any question I had about their pricing was well explained. Very transparent auto mechanic business.
