Stay away. I went in for a simple muffler replacement (verified by 2 other shops). They quoted me…read more$250 & said they had the muffler in stock. When I arrived, Steve said he had it put on a lift and they "discovered" that all of the pipes and joints were so rusty, that he was afraid that when he started cutting into it, that basically the entire undercarriage would have to be replaced : large rear muffler, large front muffler, the small muffler we spoke about, ALL the piping and "probably more". I asked how much and was told "at least $1200". They said they'd order the parts for the next day. When I left, I could hear odd knocking on the bottom and the smell of exhaust in the front cabin that wasn't there before, or ever. I called back the next day to report this and was blown off with "ma'am, you have an exhaust leak and the knocking you are hearing is because you probably drove over something". I knew then they were not on the up and up, so I played along and asked if my parts came in. They said yes, all but one. I asked what they were missing and was told "a part". He kept saying "just a part" but would not tell me WHAT part. Finally I was forceful and told him I needed the name of "the part". . Steve finally said, the Catalytic Converter. Horses***!. He said I needed that too. Tack on another several hundred dollars, plus labor. Scammers! I took it somewhere else the next morning, and the only thing it needed was the muffler, parts & labor $95. I've heard of stories like this, but, wow, the level of deception was criminal.

Recently, I received three estimates in Northern Virginia for car maintenance that would cost between 1000 and 1200. The Bug Shop gave me the HONEST labor rate (2.5 hours of labor instead of 6) and gave me a decent deal on the parts. Total came to $450. I'd recommend these guys' work, particularly for VW/Audi/BMW.

I had to call every mechanic in town before getting to Auto Repair Specialists. Although they were booked up like every other shop in town, they agreed to see my vehicle. Due to the type of issue I was having with the vehicle, I was ready to stay in town for an extra day. Well, these folks had my spark plugs and ignition coil changed by 1:30!!! I was not expecting a call back until closing. The team did a wonderful job of ensuring all was in GREAT working condition so that I could finish my trip. They were also very helpful in topping fluids and informing me that I should get an oil change upon arriving to my destination. I cannot say enough good things about this crew. Alex, Brian, and the rest of the team were so helpful, communicative, and kind. I MUST DEFINITELY recommend this team for car repair. They are TRULY specialists!!
