Haydar was fantastic. He arrived exactly on schedule and got straight to work after a quick introduction. Due to a manufacturer error with the kit I provided (it contained two different sizes of the same part), Haydar actually had to perform the labor twice after the initial test. Despite the job taking nearly double the expected time, he honored our original price. On top of that, he identified and replaced a faulty part, only charging me for the cost of the part itself. He had to order the part, so he had to come back the next day. Truly honest and professional service. I highly recommend him. read more

Prompt, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I requested service at 4pm. The next morning at 10, he showed up, immediately was able to diagnose the problem and get me a same day estimate for my 2018 Audi A4. He also was able to quickly identify a completely unrelated issue and remedy it. Don't hesitate to book an appointment, this guy's good. read more

I had really good experience. I would recommend this company! Owner was so nice and explained to me everything! read more

Fast response time, quality work, fair pricing, and the convenience of mobile service -- what more could you ask for? Since moving to DC, I've searched far and wide for a reliable mechanic who knows German cars, and I've finally found the one! Thank you, Haydar. read more

Waited a little time to post but I want to definitely recommend Haydar for your car problems and also want to acknowledge that he will be the only one that I call for all my future issues with my Audi Q5! Here is why: 1) You don't have to come to him - he comes to you & that alone is a great business advantage! He actually came by the day before Valentines & was willing to do the work the next day. But I had to tell him that I would be in the dog house if he came by then! lol 2) He diagnosed the problem in a short matter of time. Plus he explained to me what was wrong. And this is after I took my car to other mechanics that couldn't find the issue. 3) As far as pricing, he came & replaced the parts needed & tested it. Engine coolant was leaking & I was refilling it at least one every two weeks in. Now almost a month in & I haven't had to add any coolant! To end this review - not only can you not put a price on someone who will come to you. But you can't put a price on great service! read more

Professional, hospitable and very accommodating. Would highly recommend. Very convenient having service provided at home.

I got three quotes, and I really appreciate Heydar's communication and honesty. He will be taking care of all my future Porsche needs, saved me $1,400 on the service I needed and was the second mechanic to tell me I don't need to replace my damper and belt (which Porsche told me was imminent need), saving me yet another. $3,700. So convenient, he comes to you - Truly 5 star service! read more

Haydar was great. Set the appointment quickly, and completed the brake flush quickly at my home. Good customer service, and fair pricing. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent and timely service on my BMW. Had a coolant and oil leak, German Auto Repair was able to come to my house to provide me a quote (better price than everywhere else I called) and do the service directly at my house so I wouldn't have to pay any towing expenses. I haven't had any issues with my vehicle since then. Haydar explained the problem and the fixes clearly and even told me about some preventative measures I should take in the future to ensure nothing like this happens again. 10/10 experience! read more

I found German Auto Repair Mobile on Google and sent an inquiry. The owner responded quickly, and I was able to schedule an appointment for the very next day. He was communicative, professional, took the time to show me the part that needed to be replaced, and doesn't try to break the bank. We scheduled the repair for the following day, and the entire process was smooth and efficient. He also offers a warranty on his work, which gave me added peace of mind. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely use his services again. read more

Great service know VW very well. Honest Very happy with the work and price Highly recommend read more

Update: September 2025. Almost a year exactly, and less than 10k miles later I need brake pads and rotors again. I am not a heavy-braking driver. The brakes were consistently noisy, and I should have returned sooner to see if there was an issue, I'll own that piece. But I spent over $1300 for brake pads, rotors, and a battery, and now I'm having to spend $1100 to have the same brakes repaired. I do not want to return because I'm afraid it won't be done right a second time. $1300 is not an insignificant amount of money to just throw away. I contacted the shop to ask if a year was normal wear and to offer an opportunity to make it right, and I received a reply that he isn't at the shop anymore but does mobile repair service. I'm so disappointed because I thought I had found my go-to shop for car service and repairs. read more

Very responsive to the initial request; timely, professional, and honest in what needed to be done.

Outstanding service. My 2004 BMW 325i was running rough I thought it was my idle control valve or my o2 sensor. he listened to the car and said I had a misfire before reading the code. it was actually 2 misfires. he did the diagnostic test confirmed, made a temporary repair with coils he had in his truck, came back today with new Bosch coils and spark plugs. He is a repairman that you can trust. I trust him and will always call him first. read more

Third or fourth time using Haydar on our cars. This time it was 75K general maintenance schedule (brake flush, radiator flush, fuel filter, transmission clean & fluid replaced) which he did promptly and professionally at our house in the driveway. He's friendly and informed, knowledgeable and careful about what he does. Car drives top notch now. And I mean, top notch, as he took it for a test drive and made sure everything was 100% proper. Repeatedly impressed. A+ ! read more

German Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me

Okay so I was having issues with my battery I called one person to come help and he was unsure if my battery was my only problem kept saying it might be another issue I texted German auto repair he was to me in less than 20 minutes and he came on a Sunday afternoon which I know is a off day for most didn't end up having to work on the car just re checked my car and said hey you good to go it's just your battery and reassured the young man who came out first completely appreciate his speedy response and his time would definitely call again read more

I have continued to use Haydar for many other repairs. Always does a great job and is responsive to my needs. His work is quality and he is good at explaining any repairs so I understand the work that needs to be done. I appreciate his honesty and thoroughness read more

Great service , very knowledgeable and flexible mechanic. We throughly explain the service rendered.Recommended to everyone

I can't express how grateful I am to have crossed paths with Heydar. He is a skilled mechanic who's dedicated to getting to the heart of the issue that plagues your vehicle. I cancelled an appointment with a different mechanic when Heydar became available and couldn't be more satisfied. My 2008 Mercedes Benz E350 4Matic suffered from intermittent issues that other mechanics diagnosed as a bad Torque Converter requiring transmission replacement ($4000 job) to bad ECU requiring replacement ($2500+ job). Heydar arrived on time and with great attitude to work on my car which suffered from a Crank/No Start issue and towed to my home. He jumps in and the car starts right up and runs strong. He still ran a computer diagnosis which showed no codes and no clues to anything wrong. Being embarrassed for wasting his time I expected him to leave with his duties fulfilled. He took the time to speak with me about what the problems were and even offered to charge me less that the original price. I refused the discount being so grateful. Later that day I started the car and drove 3 blocks and it stalled in an intersection. I pushed it to the side of the road and felt totally alone with no idea on how to proceed. I text Heydar and he responded that he would return the next morning. When he returned he quickly ran a few test and we methodically discounted the transmission diagnosis and started to focus on the ECU as added a failed fuel pump to the mix. He left assuring me he would get to the bottom of it and I prepared myself for the expensive ECU replacement and finding a reputable shop that could reprogram the unit. Heydar contacted me again and wanted to run another couple of test. Mind you I was preparing for the ECU nightmare about to ensue. He arrive for the 3rd time and runs a few test that bypass the fuel pump and together we talk out the situation. Finally we discount the ECU replacement and focus on the fuel pump. I agreed we should replace the pump with the understanding that Mercedes are difficult cars to diagnose and that there would be a 15% chance it would not be the fuel pump. I had high hopes but expected the worse. On the forth visit with all the parts in hand Heydar gets to work on a hot/humid day. Within the time I ran to the store to get cold water I returned to a car running strong. I couldn't be happier.  My recommendation is to call Heydar... he has the willingness to talk things thru and consider your input, his willingness to come back multiple times until it is fixed and to methodically work thru what could be a thousand possible causes to get you back in the road. I will call him whenever I require an honest, skilled and reliable mechanic. read more

German Auto Repair - 2008 Mercedes E350 4matic Sport - Auto Repair Near Me

80k mile service was due for my 2019 VW Passat. I didn't want just anybody working on my vehicle. I wanted a mechanic who would provide quality service at a fair price; someone honest and decent; and someone I could trust so that I would not hesitate or think twice about returning to when services are needed again on my car. I did a SEARCH for somebody and found "German Auto Repair". I began reading the reviews and people spoke so highly of Haydar and his work, I thought let me give him a call. I called at 9:45ish on Saturday morning he answered (that was impressing because it's hard to reach most mechanics at that time especially on Saturday. He patiently listened to the reason for my call, asked me to provide him with some information and he would call me back. A few hours later (2-3 hours) he called me back a explained what the service included, in detail, and then scheduled my appointment and I mean it was within a few days (here again I'm impressed). He was even able to provide the numbers (price) for the work being done when he scheduled my appointment. I said to myself, "this Guy is about his work and I thank God I was lead to him". And it made me feel good to know that there are still folks out here who know and value "customer service". Come the day of my appointment, I head to the shop to have my car serviced. As soon as I arrived, He and his partner introduced themselves, asked me if I needed anything while I wait, directed me to where I could grab coffee or food, and then they took my car and got to work. While servicing my car, I appreciated him communicating to me the things I need to do to keep up my car and what happens when I don't. Time passed and when I looked up it was about 12:00, my appointment was at 10:00am, he was done. He even went the extra mile and completed another service to help me out and said with a smile "no charge". If you are in search of a Mechanic whose honest, trustworthy, values your time and business, provides quality service, believe communication is key, take my advice and call HAYDAR, He will definitely take care of you and your car and I speaknfrom experience. Oh and the numbers (price) he quoted was what I paid, taxes were exta....Thank You so much Haydar and May God bless you and your business read more

There's nothing better than having a mechanic you can trust, and Haydar is that mechanic. I sought him out based on his great Yelp reviews, but when I got to his shop, I have to admit I was a little concerned by how small it was and the fact he shares it with another mechanic. But I met him and talked to him for a few minutes and he immediately offered to take my car for a test drive so he could experience its problem with acceleration. When we got back to the shop, he opened the hood and instantly diagnosed the issue (although, to be fair, it was pretty obvious the piece that controls the turbo function was worn out and came off). Over the weekend he sent me a written estimate for replacing that part and the rear brakes, and when I dropped the car off on Tuesday, he gave me a ride back to my house. Haydar did the work while I was in Puerto Rico, and a day or two after I dropped it off he texted me and let me know it was done. When I came back to Virginia he offered to pick me up from my house to get my car, but a friend of mine was able to do it. The car drove perfectly, and everything Haydar said he would do, he did. Like I said, nothing better than having a mechanic you can trust. One of the things about Haydar that made me trust him is the fact that he was an interpreter for the US military during the Iraq war. I spent a year in Afghanistan with the US Air Force and all the interpreters I worked with were incredibly trustworthy and they all ended up coming over to the US on interpreter visas, just as Haydar did. And they all have become very successful over here, just like Haydar. Bottom line: trust the reviews. Take your car to Haydar, and you will end up with one of life's greatest treasures: a mechanic you can trust. read more

As someone who's worked on cars my entire life I can't tell you how much it pains me to pay someone to fix my vehicle... That being said, reaching out to Haydar was the best decision I could have made. I found myself in the unenviable position of transitioning between jobs having purchased a used Audi that more issues than I could have anticipated. I spoke to Haydar on a Thursday and he scheduled his initial visit on that Saturday at my convenience. Having a mechanic who is willing to work around your schedule from the comfort of your own home was such a relief given how busy thing are for me right now. When he arrived he took some time to go over a number of the issues that typically pop up with a vehicle as old as mine (2009) in addition to asking me about anything else I may have noticed in the time I'd spent driving it and came back to me with an estimate that most likely saved me half (if not more) of what a brick and mortar or dealership garage would have charged me. In addition to this he worked tirelessly with the warranty company and tried to have them cover as many of the issues as possible thus saving me even more. I have additional work that I'll be doing down the line and I have Haydar on speed dial. read more

I utilized Mr. Haydar again todo some more work on my car. I saw the quality work for such an affordable price. The quote was easily $700 dollars under other quotes almost a $1000 from dealer. He uses OEM parts only. He comes to you. So I can still work from home and have my car serviced. The things I highly appreciate: 1. Complete honesty. (He does not BS you and tells you as it is). 2. He goes the extra mile. I had a stripped screws on my fuel filter. He ended up taking care of that and replacing the fuel filter. (Free of charge!!). Other places would have charged me a few hundred. 3. His attention to detail. He is very meticulous. 4. He takes care of your car like it's his own. Cares about the long term health of the car. When other mechanics spill oil or jams/strip screws in knowing they will never see the customer again or they never check under the hood. 5. He goes the extra mile. He noticed things with my wheel bolts being stripped from over torquing. (Other places did the damage). He advised to get new lug bolts. He did not make any more money off me. But it was the right thing todo for my safety, car health, and prevent issues down the line. (Also free of charge) 6. He comes to you! Extremely convenient! 7. It's a mom and pop, I prefer to support local vs franchises. 8. Very well priced and extremely fair! He quoted me for a 1 hour job. Took way longer but still kept to the quoted price. I even to offer to pay for the extra time. But he politely refused. Lastly, I will call him for any of my Car issues! read more

My first review got deleted so I reposted. Haydar is phenomenal. I highly recommend him. I was quoted over $900 to replace rotors/drums/shoes/pads/cylinder to fix the ABS. The previous mechanic (that I went to for over 10 years) told me that doing this would turn off the ABS light that came on earlier in the day. Haydar confirmed my brakes were fine, and that nothing that was written on the quote I had was required. He fixed my car in about 1 hour for a lot less money. He was honest, kind, and reassured me that everything was ok. He explained everything clearly and concisely and gave great advice. The best part! I didn't have to leave my house, have the car towed, or wait for hours for a response. He contacted me in less than 1 hour. I've been singing his praises to family, friends, and coworkers all day. He's officially our go to guy now. read more

I took my car to Drive Euro and was quoted $830 for a 55k maintenance. I took it to German Auto Repair for another quote and was quoted $400. Part of the service was to replace and air filter but because I have an aftermarket air filter, it was not required. Haydar took that off the bill so I ended up paying under $300. Also, it only took 50 minutes to do the job. I echo all of the 5 star reviews for this business. Haydar is an honest and experienced mechanic and he has just earned another lifetime customer. Can't recommend this business enough. read more

Haydar is outstanding. He is extremely fast in responding to requests and fitting me into his schedule. I have an old 1995 BMW that was having AC issues and starting to make a lot of noise under the hood. He was able to quickly identify that I needed a new AC compressor and drive belt. He did not have the machinery required to recover refrigerant while replacing the compressor, but he recommended me to a nearby shop that did, with detailed instructions and didn't charge for his visit. On my second call, with short notice Haydar came out in the cold rain to help me replace my battery and diagnose an issue with my windshield wiper arm. He battled the corroded metal of my old car and made sure everything was in good working order. If you want an honest mechanic that will ensure the job is done correctly AND not have to leave your driveway (or in my case, my community's parking lot), give Haydar a call. read more

Extremely responsive (including past normal business hours). Prompt, efficient and honest, what more can you ask for from a mechanic that comes to your house and does the work in your driveway? Pricing was reasonable. Service was excellent and very friendly. I'll be using them again! Job: replace door release cable in driver's side door on a 2011 Silverado...involved getting elbow deep in door frame metal and working with precision. read more

Haydar is that honest mechanic everyone needs to know. He found the electrical fault in my BMW, and instead of just fixing it and charging me for it, he went the extra mile and found the factory recall for that exact part, so the dealership would have to fix it for free. Highly recommend. read more

By far the best mechanic I've dealt with in my 20 years in the United States. I had an issue with my AC compressor that, after a bit of research, all it needed was the replacement of compressor control valve (a $50 part), I took the car to six other mechanics and all just wanted to replace the whole compressor (an $800 part) and not just the valve. When I talked to Haydar, he immediately responded, "that makes sense and it should be an easy job". After less than two hours of work the valve was replaced and my AC was working again like new. I can't recommend Haydar enough!! He was also on time and a great communicator. read more

While needing work done on expensive German cars is never fun, Haydar was a pleasure to work with. He was honest, comes with great expertise since he used to work at an Audi dealership, is very informative, can travel to you and usually get you on the calendar within the week. Hoping we don't need repair work again, but if we do, it will be with him. read more

More stars are needed for the service Haydar has provided to me. Brakes, oil changes, coolant hose snapping off for my 2013 BMW X5. Each time he visited my location (in D.C.) to help me out. He diagnosed my car concerns, gave good prices, and worked to make sure my car problems were resolved. Friendly and VERY helpful! Much appreciate it! read more

Amazing service from an amazing time at an unbeatable price point. They even took extra time to complete unplanned repairs the same day. Strongest possible recommendation! read more

My VW was having some issues, the service was great, came home, checked the car, next day I had a budget and the day after the car was repaired. He even came back to help me with something non related. I highly recommend to work with German Auto Repair. read more

Trustworthy, Honest, Genuine, Sincere. It's all been said before on Yelp here, but it's true about Haydar! Older VWs have timing belts and Haydar gave a quote below what other shops gave me. Plus, some other auto shops didn't even want the job because it's labor intensive or they didn't have the tools. However, after meeting him in person, those initial qualities are what counts above all else. His shop is located in a nice area and I didn't worry about my car being left there overnight. When I picked up the car after the job was complete, it was in the price range he quoted and he had video of the work being done and it came with a warranty. My older VW diesel is ready for another 100k! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Haydar and his prowess as a mechanic and all around good person. His communications were timely and comprehensive. He is personable and truly interested in both helping you save money and doing the absolute best job he can. He is knowledgeable, experienced, punctual, and quick. When you hire him, if you can, stay while he works on your car as long as you can because he is passionate about telling you what he is doing and teaching you how to get the best out of your car. He is now my primary mechanic and I have no reservations about recommending him to all of my friends. A true professional. read more

Awesome experience. Checked my battery which was not allowing me to restart the car after Roadside jumped me, I was at 8 volts. We went and bought a new battery and he installed it. The battery was huge and mounted in the trunk. There is no way I would have been able to lift it out myself. This was a great first experience with the company. read more

Haydar went above and beyond when it came to fixing my 2014 Range Rover Evoque that would not start. I didn't want to get it towed so I reached out to him to see if he could take a look at it. He was honest and told me that he didn't work on Range Rovers typically but was willing to try to fix it. He was extremely dedicated to figuring out the problem to the point that I left my keys with him for a month to constantly go back and forth from Alexandria to DC in order to figure out what was wrong. He did a diagnostic, replaced the battery and the starter, before discovering what the issue was. It was a battery cable issue that was hard to discover but Haydar did it. He even returned the starter I purchased for me since it didn't work. I can't speak highly enough about Haydar and his professionalism as well as his commitment to fixing my truck. You can tell that he loves the work he does and is extremely knowledgeable about cars. He also was willing to learn all about my vehicle in order to fix it. I can 100% say that he did way more work and research than anyone at Land Rover would have ever done and I appreciate that. I will contact him for any other needs I may have since he now knows my truck like the back of his hand. Thank you so much! read more
