IM Autohaus offers a good balance between reliable work and not over-diagnosing. They will not default to the most expensive option, which I appreciate. That said, if something needs to be replaced, they will let me know. read more

1 star and that's being generous My husband and I purchased a used 2019 Chevy Suburban from this dealership and it has been nothing but a nightmare. Within a very short time, it became obvious the transmission was failing hard shifting, slipping, warning signs that don't just appear overnight. What's most frustrating is that this feels conveniently undisclosed. There is no way a dealership "inspects" a vehicle and misses such a major issue, especially one this serious and expensive. It's hard not to believe this problem was known and intentionally hidden just to make the sale. We know that it was intentional because whoever they had make the makeshift repairs to seal the deal, left a used rag in the transmission pan. Yes, you read that correctly, they left a rag in the transmission pan that they'll surely claim they knew nothing about. A transmission repair on a vehicle like this is thousands of dollars, and buyers should not be left holding the bag because a dealership chose profit over honesty. We thankfully had a warranty through our credit union and was able to get the vehicle repaired. We have already drafted a letter to the credit union that they need to be removed from the trusted sellers list. If you're considering buying from here, get an independent inspection first or better yet, save yourself the stress and go somewhere else. I regret trusting this dealership and would never recommend them. read more

A very good first visit to IM Autohaus. Asked for a small service with advice on any upcoming repair worries. Fairly priced and an honest review of my car's condition and potential repair needs. No pressure to "do it ASAP' but bring it back when you want us to fix things. I appreciate the low-pressure approach, and will go back for future help. read more

Supremely knowledgeable, honest and competent service for my 2007 Saab 9-3 for 3 years now.

Great service, timely fix, and very responsible. Will definitely return for next maintenance

Excellent work. Treated me with great respect. Many problems solved. Thought I was driving a new car home.

I took my car here for water damage. They repaired leaks which had come into my car creating mold. They took out the carpeting and dried it and cleaned it. They were extremely kind. They did a great job on the bigger jobs and the smaller jobs. I highly recommend them! read more

I rarely post online reviews. But I am grateful for the experience I had purchasing a used car from IM Autohaus. Joshua was extremely responsive, helpful and kind. I was a bit intimidated with buying a used car, but Joshua was fun to work with and gave me a fair deal. I love my new (used) car so much. IM Autohaus is not in my neighborhood but I still plan to return for maintenance, etc., because it was a great experience. Thank you! read more

IM Autohaus helped me conclude a nationwide search for a SAAB 9-3 SportCombi with a pre-purchase inspection. The squeezed me in to the schedule when I explained that I was desperate to get out of a rental car. Their thorough inspection confirmed that the car was exactly as good as it looked online... which is rare. Now that I have the car, I see that their evaluation was 100% accurate and I couldn't be happier. read more

I bought my Highlander there several years ago. I always take it into IM Autohaus for service and it has been terrific.

Friendly and helpful did not try to upsell and even returned my car to my house. Just great

I have been taking my Saab 's here for over 12 years now. They will always go the extra mile to make sure your Saab, Volvo, BMW, Subaru, etc. is repaired or maintained to your utmost satisfaction. I highly recommend!!! read more

Honest? Check. Reasonable prices? Check. Will give you good advice? Check. Two times I have had other area mechanics prescribe a whole bunch of work on my car, late model BMW, and twice these guys have been like, no, you don't need all that, you just need this. They are responsive, stand behind their work, and will shoot you straight. Hard not to beat that in this business. read more

I contacted IM Autohaus because they were recommended by another Saab owner. Devon managed to get me scheduled for needed repairs for an oil leak and a shift cable repair prior to me leaving on an extended trip. Richard's team had the car inspected and provided me a list of repairs that could be done in two days. Good to their word, the car was ready at the scheduled time they promised. While I usually do my own maintenance and some repairs, the items I needed to be fixed exceeded my available time to get them done before a trip. The staff is very friendly and easy to work with plus true to their word. I'll be back there to get another big job done that I've held in abeyance when I can arrange it. read more

IM Autohaus is my go-to place to keep my Saab in great shape. Richard and his team know what they are doing and do a great job. My 2006 9-3 aero left with new brakes and a replaced radiator along with newly repaired and painted low front spoiler. This is "the place" for all things Saab. read more

Came in with the intention to buy a car that peeked my interest. The salesman that was appointed to me was lacking enthusiasm. We go to look at the car and immediately I notice slices and dices in the seat and scratches all over the body, a loosey goosey mirror and the headliners were discolored (nothing like the photos listed). To make matters worse the brakes were beat to high hell giving the car a delayed stop. When it came to negotiating this dealer was not interested in making a deal. Told me they've done plenty of work to the car (clearly not enough) Acknowledged that there were multiple faults and that the car was well over market price for its year and mileage and now shabbiness and played oblivious to the damages and rushed me out. I am grateful for this experience directing me to never come back again. I would not buy a car from here! read more

My wife's XC60 had a possible coolant issue, so called IM Autohaus to talk it through and get it looked at. They advised me on what to do and booked it in for investigation, fix and general service. They did it within a few days and great dialogue all through. I'd heard good things about them and all accurate. Richard was very helpful and kept me informed of progress, gave me a great deal and resolved the issue within a few days for first contact with them. See you again guys, and would recommend to anyone with a Volvo, BMW or SAAB as they specialize in these. read more

Wonderful Service! Talked with Bryan to purchase a used car, knowledgable, helpful, and knew exactly what we were looking for. Came in looking at a Honda Accord, but we're really looking for a commuter vehicle, they had a Volkswagen GTI with low mileage and better gas mileage that was a much better fit, but Bryan helped us look at 4 different cars on the lot, giving us a wide range of options. They fully detailed the car, and put new tires on it, all in all a wonderful car buy experience! read more

IM Autohaus - All cleaned and ready to go! - Auto Repair Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

We purchased a car with them about 2 years ago, a few months ago we noticed the sunroof was leaking, we brought it in, they charged us $650 to fix it. A month later, the sunroof was leaking again, we brought it in again, they claimed it was a different issue (even though it was leaking in the exact same location) and tried to charge us $1700 to fix it - even though they said they had resolved it in the previous fix. We said no at this point, when we went to pick up the car it was ABSOLUTELY destroyed. The sunroof originally leaked into the footwell, but when we picked it up it was stained all around the sunroof, they had pulled out the fabric on the ceiling, and now the top ceiling portion is hanging down. We called them back, and they refuse to fix it. It's absolutely disgusting and dishonest, instead of fixing our issue they made it worse, then have even refused to fix what they did. I would never bring your car here, or trust them with anything. We are going to report them to the Better Business Bureau, but this is your warning via social media. read more

I have just driven my 2003 9-3 back from IM Autohaua and am so happy with their service, I have to leave a review. I was worried that it needed major hydraulic work once the convertible roof stopped "converting", but they found the issue and resolved it for a fraction of the cost. They also restored it to its former self, fixing bits and pieces and giving it a detail that was fabulous. I was bracing myself for many $$$ as Saabs are no longer available new, but they saved me a minor fortune because they know what they're doing. Will never take it elsewhere! Last but not least, everyone was incredibly respectful and friendly throughout - sometimes people can be a bit patronizing towards women but that's not the case here. Thanks to everyone for the great service and great experience! read more

I just finished a search for a Saab convertible with 5 spd transmission. There are not too many of 5 spd around these days and luckily I saw one on their website. It is a 2001 SE but only has little over 48K on it. I normally would personally look at the car myself but since I live in Florida, after I read the reviews of this company, I decided to take a leap of faith and just purchased the car and hope they are as good as what most reviews are saying. Well, car was delivered and everything was pretty much as described and Bryan (sales manager) was following up and after I told him a couple of things (missing valve stem covers,2nd key) and power mirrors are not working, Bryan had sent the additional key and valve stems that have Saab logos on them. He is also following up about the power mirror issue and a cracked on the headlamp assembly. Truth is I know I am buying the car as is and if they don't care, they will not bother responding which happens quite often with used car dealers. Thankfully, there are still companies out there like IMAutohaus still CARE about their reputation and customers. A rare find in todays business atmosphere. 5 Star all the way. Thank you. read more

In short, their attention to detail is horrible. Their overall work is shotty to the point of being dangerous and they will lie to you. I do not recommend them. I had IM Autohaus do a substantial amount of work on my Tacoma truck a few months ago. They painted my truck, replaced the wheel well fenders, installed a new hood and winch bumper. Besides taking way to long to finish, I had to take the truck back to them twice for major fixes to things they did not do properly. Probably the biggest problem was the bumper assembly fell apart on the freeway and began rubbing on the front wheel causing the inner fender to be severely damaged. They did replace this when I took it back to them but recently, I noticed that the fender assembly and bumper were installed incorrectly again. I was tired of taking the truck back to them, so I just fixed it myself. In addition, I told them on more than one occasion not to re drill the bumper for the license plate and that I did not want them to paint the hood scoop insert, both of which then did anyway. Probably the worst offense in my opinion is that they told me they ordered new decals in black for my truck which they did charge me for. I recently discovered that they just took the old decals off and painted them. The paint is already peeling off exposing the silver underneath. This list is not at all exhaustive. They screwed up much more than the things listed here. I just don't want to make this review ten pages long. read more

I needed to have a PPI done on a car that I was interested in purchasing and Richard at IM Autohaus was able to squeeze me in. They did a great job on the PPI, finding a couple of problem areas which I took back to the dealership and we negotiated the repair costs into the purchase price. In fact, IM Autohaus will do the repairs. Great customer service and very accommodating. read more

Excellent !!, I own two BMW's and have been to many service shop's and dealerships over the years. The technicians here are amazing and the staff is great. Looking forward to get my car serviced here again. Thanks, Aziz read more

Brought my Daughter's car in for service. It's a 2009 Toyota Corolla with alot of wear and tear and 87000 miles. It looks like a new car. Oh my God, the detail. They went way beyond my expectations. Very fair and reasonable too. I am happy a mechanic close by recommended IM Autohaus , Richard Rudenko and the staff. read more

My son drove our VW Golf to school and another kid hit the passenger door in the parking lot. Richard gave us a fair estimate and the car went in the following Monday and was done by Wed. The car looks like it did when we bought it! Awesome body work and paint job! read more

IM Autohaus - 5 - Auto Repair Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Just picked up my car from IM Autohaus and was VERY pleased with the job they did. The work was excellent, and the car was serviced in less than two days. Cost was reasonable, too, and my ride is clean and beautiful! read more

These guys are great. Not only did they come down on the price of the RAV4 to better fit my budget, but they also took care of a minor cosmetic issue on the doorframe between the time I bought the car and the time I picked it up a couple of hours later(even though I was planning on doing it myself after I got home). Excellent service, I would highly recommend going to them if you're looking for a quality used car. Thanks again Bryan! read more

Once again they have saved my a"" with my 2008 Saab. Blair went above and beyond not to mention the good work they do on these cars. Thank you again guys read more

Reasonable estimate. Car repaired and returned within time frame quoted. Car rinsed outside and wiped down inside before returned to me. Definitely will consider bringing car here for inspection emission and other routine repairs. read more

Took my Saab 9-3 for the Takata airbag safety recall. They checked the car and told me to replace something damaged I did not notice. They also reprogrammed a spare key for me. No cleaning inside or outside. No coffee. But the job is done and I will probably come back. read more

Blair and team at IM Autohaus were great to deal with on my older model Volvo. They walked through all the repairs and the pros/cons for a car this old. read more

This body shop is amazing! I had body side moldings installed in my new Forester today, and Richard and his team were extremely professional and courteous. Not only they did a great job installing the moldings, but they also got the car washed. I had talked to Richard a few days prior to get an estimate, and the best time to bring the car in, and everything worked like a clock. They are trustworthy, and I would definitely use Richard and his team again in the future for any of my car needs. 5 out 5 stars! read more

Great shop for your auto repairs! Catering especially to Swedish automobiles, Volvo and Saab but highly capable of servicing and car lovers car with expert attention to detail and costumer service. I am one of many Saab enthusiasts that suffer from a short list of repair shops that not only repair Saabs, they also share my love for the car. I had IM Autohaus to replace the engine in my 2000 Saab Viggin Turbo with no issues. Shortly thereafter, I was involved in a front end collision, that resulted in damage to the hood, grill, headlight, ac condensor, and much much more. They replaced the necessary parts and painted her and she looks BETTER, than ever. (I had several chips on the hood from bugs and rocks) . In closing, IM Autohaus is a great repair shop for any vehicle but for your Saab and Volvo, its the only place! They also have a pretty nice selection of autos for sale for those looking for a great vehicle at an Awesome price. read more

I didn't think anyone could ever make me cheat on Auto Stop, the amazing garage near my old house in Alexandria. How could anyone abandon their awesome, friendly, honest service and prices? Who would be so stupid? I'll tell you who: the same sort of person who is stupid enough to back full-speed out of her new 1-car garage without checking her clearance, snapping off her side-view mirror and moaning like a cow in a giant panini press as she hears it shatter on the floor. My commute to Auto Stop recently grew from 5 minutes to 45. After my little mishap, 45 minutes of traffic on Leesburg Pike without a driver's side mirror was a prospect too dreadful to entertain. So after a good ten minutes' weeping about how this was why I could never have nice things and how was I going to afford this and seriously what was my problem, I glanced up my new street to the cluster of garages a mere 100 yards away. One of the nearby garages was called Swedish Motorcars. I own a Swedish motorcar. I checked Yelp and saw nothing but praise for the mechanical side of the business. I was freaked out about the dearth of reviews, but I took a deep breath and drove over there anyway. Sorry, Auto Stop. I'll always love you, but Swedish Motorcars is my new homie. Rich and his colleagues gave me a rapid, accurate assessment of the damage and were immediately on the phone to the local Volvo dealership to get the parts they needed. My car was fixed by the end of the day I dropped it off. A procedure that could have cost up to $600 at the dealership--I did my research--cost me $300 and change here, and they gave me the 10% new customer discount they advertised on their website without me having to ask. Eventually, I'll want to do some body work to repair the scratches and dings on my car I've accrued in other moments of stupidity, and I know where I'll be coming back. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. You will not find a better mechanic or auto shop. I have been going to them for over 15 years (since the time it was Swedish Motor Cars), and I have only great things to say about my experience. Everyone who works there is incredibly helpful and friendly. Their work is reliable and reasonably priced.They have kept my 2001 Volvo alive and running reliably, which is no small task. Whether it is an oil change, routine inspection, or something far more complicated (radiators, belts, suspension, you name it), their work is impeccable. They are up front about costs and explain what parts they need; Richard is very good at explaining what you absolutely have to fix and what he recommends that you fix. They really do it all. I've bought my last car from them, gotten body work done, bought tires, and everything in between. No matter what, they do a great job. read more

Now that SAAB has gone to the big brand graveyard in the sky, we orphaned owners need all the good mechanics we can get. Swedish Motorcars goes good work, gets you in and out fairly efficiently, and is able to get their hands on those hard-to-find genuine SAAB parts. Yes...they charge prices that are a little on the high side for an independent shop but still give the impression of being a no nonsense...no bullsh*t garage. The only place, this far, where they fall down is their detail guy. The last time I was in, I arranged for a full inside-and-out detail for my 9-3, and frankly he (she?, they?) didn't do a great job. Oh sure, the major stuff was taken care of: Wheels, polish, carpets, etc... but for the same $200 I've paid elsewhere, I've had better detail jobs, jobs that included conditioning the dash and leather, getting the dirt out of the door sills, and getting the windows spotless...especially the insides. And I've never...never had a detailer leave fingerprints on the fabric of my A-pillars. Not cool. read more

I've brought my car (bmw) here for service a few times since i've moved to the area. They're service techs are great! Always explaining in detail the issues or whats going right with your car. Honest and always letting me know what's a performance service and what would be preventative maintenance. highly recommend! read more
