Easily the best auto experience I have had in the DC area. Richard was great, and the mechanics were knowledgeable and fair. Good prices, nice folks that will take care of your car. My state registration was outdated; Richard drove it to get a state inspection after repairs. I highly recommend Tysons Auto Specialties. read more

It doesn't get any more fair or honest than this. I'm always confident Tom and his staff gave me the facts straight-up and let me make the decisions that are best for me regarding repairs to my aging car. read more

I called Tyson's Auto Specialties on behalf of my son who was new to the area and was having difficulties starting his car. I spoke to Richard , who actually listened , and asked me to have my son drop off the car and he would make arrangements to get him to work on time. This doesn't seem like a big deal but all shops were booked because of the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday. what I heard from surrounding shops was a "maybe " we could get to it, not really assuring. The headlight was also out. Richard took care of everything with a very pleasant attitude. It turns out that the battery was under warranty with AAA and Richard helped get the battery replaced for no charge. That is a big deal. What a great customer experience. read more

I am pleased with the service they provide. In my first visit, the technician who received car (I forgot his name) from me immediately spotted that my car is low in oil even before opening bonnet and added a little bit without worrying if I will pay for it or not. Richard is one who worked on my car and replaced alternator. There was a hiccup which delayed car return but I won't blame it on them. The replacement alternator was bad one and it created unwanted vibration. I quickly find it after I got car back and return to them immediately and they were quick to confirm that there is something wrong with new alternator. They fixed it next day. read more

The guys at tysons auto specialties are phenomenal at what they do. Not only are they good at what they do, but they're honest with you when it comes to what maintenance you need, and it's always at a reasonable price. Skip the dealer and go to tysons auto specialties. They work on your car as if it's their own. Try them out for yourself, you won't be disappointed. read more

When you deal with those big car service shops, they always recommend as much and expensive service as possible. When you deal with Tysons Auto Specialties, you can feel they are honest. They serve what your car needs. I have decided to let them work on all my family's cars in the future! read more

Tom and Richard are straight-shooters with integrity. They strive to find the best solution for their customers and explain options patiently. None of the double-talk and upsale rigamarole you get from a lot of shops. The price for my brake rotors and pads was lower than was quoted at the service station where my car failed inspection. We've had three encounters with TAS and all have been positive. Definitely will use them going foward! read more

When it comes to car repairs we have heard it all before...What we never hear about are the good guys out there. Tysons Auto Specialties fall squarely in the Good Guys category. Tom Ivey and his crew are reliable, trustworthy, and do it right the first time. They take the time to listen and help prioritize what needs to be done versus what can wait to be done. This past visit was the 3rd or 4th in the past year, each time they told me ahead of time what was wrong and what it was going to cost. I had no surprises.... Look up the word "Integrity" in the dictionary and you will find Tom and his teams picture! I highly recommend you give them a try! read more

I recently bought a used car and took it to Tysons Auto Specialties to have it checked out. I dropped the car off in the morning, and an hour or two later got a call back, detailing the results of the inspection. At no point did I feel pressured, and Richard (with whom I spoke) took the time to explain everything in detail. The repairs were all completed by the next business day, and Richard even stayed an hour late so that I would not have to wait another day to pick up my car. I will definitely be returning to this shop for all my future automotive needs. read more

What a pleasant experience. I've only had fair to negative experiences with auto shops but taking a chance on a new place for this emergency visit (hit and run where my side mirror fell off) paid off. Tom is nothing but friendly and honest, greeting me with a smile and making all efforts to get me back on the road with a working mirror as fast as possible. I was able to call in and bring my car in immediately to assess if the part needed to be replaced or not...turned out we were able to fix it on the spot and I was in and out in half an hour. They saved me a lot of money, time, and headache for an already stressful situation and even provided me a comfy lounge to wait in the meantime. I'll definitely be back for any other auto needs, thank you again :) read more

Taken my car to them multiple times - always professional, courteous, and quick. Definitely recommend.

I took my 2008 Nissan Rogue to TAS for it's 120,000 maintenance service this month. They analyzed my car's mechanical needs and asked me to inform them of service already performed on my car in order to determine what exactly needed to be done. Instead of blindly performing every single service item on Nissan's Recommended Service Lisa (A and B) for 120,000 miles, they carefully considered A.) whether the car required the service, B.) the consequences of not performing the service relative to safety or incurring more expenses if left undone, and C.) if I had already had the service item performed within a reasonable time frame, do we need to duplicate the service? I am pleased that TAS was calculated and careful in their recommendations for service repairs, and always used solid data above-mentioned when they did recommend to perform service items. I had the very same experience when my car had it's 90,000 maintenance service from TAS. No more crooked, greedy dealership service repairs. Tysons Auto Specialties is MY auto repair shop! read more

Best auto repair shop I've dealt with in 28 years - honest, friendly and reasonable in price!!! I have dealt with a lot of car repair shops over and by far Tom and his team at Tyson's Auto Specialties are the best mechanic shop I have ever experienced. I was told exactly what was needed to be repaired/replaced with my car, instead of suggesting to "replace entire systems" as most car dealers and repair shops suggest. I recommend Tyson's Auto Repair to anyone looking for a reliable, honest auto mechanic shop. read more

The people that work here are so extremely kind and helpful it restored a bit of my faith in humanity. They quickly diagnosed the problems with my car and called with a quote before they did any work to it. After finding out my dad was willing to come fix it for free I decided not to pay they graciously accepted that and were still so friendly and helpful! This has definitely become my go to place when I have car problems! read more

This is a great repair shop!! Trustworthy and reasonably priced. We brought our car in for squeaky brakes thinking we would be charged for new brakes pads; however, the brake pads only needed a cleaning and the charged was 60.00. Other shops, would replace the pads and charge for other unneeded repairs. Not this shop! They are honest and treat the customers well. They take their time in explaining the repair issue, don't overcharge, or charge you for unneeded repairs. Without a doubt this is the best car repair shop in the area!!! Highly recommend them! read more

Tom Ivey and his team are trustworthy, know their automotive stuff and they're very congenial. Tom kept my last car going for along time, and when it was definitely time for a new one, he helped me with the purchase of a great lightly used car. I go in for all my regularly scheduled maintenance and rarely have unexpected problems. Tom makes sure that anything that can be prevented is prevented. read more

Had a problem with the Auxiliary fan on my BMW. These guys took the time to help me out so I can monitor the problem if it reoccurs and told me what to do. Great bunch of guy and I will be back if the problem happens again. read more

My car just got out of warranty so I was looking for a place to get some work done... I also bought 4 new tires, and needed alignment, oil/filter change, etc. Really great place in the heart of Tysons. Tom also asked me to bring in all my maintenance records so that we could go through and determine what other work needed to be done (just in case, since my car just got out of warranty). I appreciated their follow through and their pricing (very reasonable) and his willingness to explain, completely, everything that was done to my car. They'll get my business from here on out. Highly recommended! read more

After going to another local place a few times and constantly re-fixing the same issues after temporary reprieves, I opted to try these guys as they are also near my work. They took care of two different noise issues I was suffering with and also diagnosed a headlight issue I needed confirmation on. I opted not to fix the headlight with them, but only because of the cost of dealer approved parts (on a 2000 Acura, replacing the electronics for a headlight gets rather pricey). As all of their fixes come with a year warranty, they are committed to using only new & approved parts (which makes perfect sense). Had I not been comfortable enough to do this fix myself (and willing to gamble on junkyard parts), it sounded like I could have negotiated a fix without their customary warranty, I really appreciated their speed, the quality of the repairs they did do, and their communication throughout the process (they were put in an uncomfortable position of telling a new customer bad news), Should I screw up my home repairs in a few weeks, I know where I will be going! read more

Went back to fix my rear brakes. Tom fixed my car within hours and it was very reasonably priced! Not to mention he got me an appointment immediately. Amazing service!!! read more

I called this place based on the reviews and couldn't be any more satisfied with the service. Both Tom and Nick are very easy to work with and want to see you get the best. I needed my timing belt replaced but I wanted them to give it a once over as well because it is a newly purchased used vehicle. They called me with the inspection results and we talked parts, service and out the door prices; out the door prices are my favorite part. I told him what I wanted to move forward with and what I wanted to wait on, and he didn't push the issue. Based on this experience I will be coming back. read more

When my AC went out for the second time in two years, I made an appointment to have Tysons Auto Specialities look at it again. I dropped my car off in the morning and within an hour or two had a call explaining what was wrong, what the repairs would be, and final cost. Then the car was ready for me to pick up. The team at Tysons Auto Specialities have always been helpful, kind, and efficient. They let me know what needs to be replaced and why. My only complaint is I had to wait a week for an appointment because of how busy they are. Worth the wait as I trust the team at Tysons Auto Specialities. read more

Tom and Rich at Tysons Auto Specialties are excellent to work with. They have a very capable group of folks who perform timely and great service. I trust them to diagnose and fix only the issues or problems; and to recommend only maintenance that is needed for our older Nissan Maxima. We are thankful that we found them, and highly recommend them to others based on their honesty, integrity and good work they perform on our car! read more

After having less than great service at some of the other auto repair centers in the area, I asked my friend for recommendations and I'm glad he recommended this place. After a weekend in West Virginia, my car had developed a noticeable rattle. I dropped my car off and walked to a nearby Starbucks to grab some coffee. Not too much longer, Tom called and indicated that he was having a hard time reproducing the rattling. After a little dialogue he said he would check it again. A little later he called again, they were still couldn't reproduce the rattling and had the car up on the lift and couldn't find anything loose. I returned to the garage and was greeted by Tom. He had one of his mechanics ride with me to see if I could reproduce the sound and sure enough the rattling was gone. Even though I didn't have any actual work done, everyone I interacted with were smiling and I could tell that they are honest and enjoy what they do. read more

Tom and his team are the most honest mechanics around. I have been going here for years and cannot say enough about how great they are. Tom will be honest with you about what needs to be done, what can wait, and what may never need to be dealt with. I never recommend anything as I tend to not want to have someone come to me if they have an issue but I recommend Tysons Auto Specialties to everyone I know. And its not just for the referral bonus. read more

Just an update on the great service offered by Tysons Auto. I had a squeaking noise in the front end of my car. I took it in to Richard, who inspected and found that it was just rather dirty in there, specifically on the drive shaft. They cleaned it off and tested, all ok now. 5 star service, 5 star prices, couldn't recommend them any more. read more

We drove into Tyson's Auto Specialties on a holiday weekend from out of town. We had to wait a bit as the regular customers had scheduled appointments. They diagnosed the problem, bent the metal piece back that was making a horrific sound and said "Merry Christmas". They were professional, honest and I would recommend them without reservation. read more

Despite having a full work schedule for several days, I was worked into the schedule on the same day since nice it was thought to be a simple problem. It turned out to be a completely different issue, but they were able to work it in and had me back on the road on the same day. The staff were incredibly nice, knowledgable, and up front about the cost. The cost quoted was exactly what I paid, and the problem with my transmission was fixed perfectly. read more

Tyson's auto is our new mechanic for one reason: honesty. We had a mysterious and concerning noise coming from our car and they could have told us anything. The prescription: don't worry about it. Customer service with the personal touch, you're dealing with good people here. read more

Terrific service and value. Called with a dead battery. Referred me to a great towing service for a charge. They took me right away to confirm it was just a battery problem. Replaced it in 25 minutes. Offered a comfortable lounge and wifi during the short wait. Very fair pricing, great service. Will be back with my wife's cad as well. read more

Tom and his team do a fantastic job. I have taken my car to them twice now and had been originally referred by a friend. They exceed expectations by doing research before you even ask to make sure you're making an informed decision. When I am unable to describe the noise accurately or have no idea what is wrong with my car, they do not jump to conclusions. I highly recommend their services and appreciate the honest help they provide their customers. read more

I recently relocated to Northern Virginia from Florida and was very skeptical about going to a new mechanic since my father has been my mechanic my entire life. Prior to going to Tysons Auto Specialties I found out what was wrong with my vehicle. When I explained to Tom what I thought was wrong with it, Tom was very receptive and forthcoming with an estimate. I shopped around and found that his prices were very competitive and his kind demeanor sold me. I will definitely be taking my car back to get serviced here! read more

i always recommend this business ,i am happy with their service ,each time they have been courteous and did good work, they care and value their customers,i had a big job in my car and they were kind and courteous ,about i needed the car at the same day.Any time some one ask for a referral ,you wont be disappointed,they have best interests to our cars and our safety , read more

My husband and I take our cars to Tom. He always tells us exactly what needs to be done and what can wait to the next visit. He is always willing to discuss things over the phone and give recommendations. I would not take my cars anywhere else! One of our vehicles has well over 100,000 miles on it and Tom keeps it going - lets us know what reall does not need to be done. In the past, we have taken cars to other places and the prices are much higher. I believe this shop is honest and they have never given me any reason to doubt their honesty. read more

As most consumers know, one of the best things to have is a mechanic who you can trust and does a good job! I've taken my car here many times and have been impressed by the quality of their workmanship as well as their honesty every time. This will be the only place I take my car from now on. The technicians are very knowledgeable and always helpful. read more

We have been coming to Tysons Auto Specialty for years. What we appreciate most is their honesty and hard work ethic. They give very accurate estimates for the amount of time the car will be in the garage. I also appreciate how they always call with estimates AND give a prioritized list if finances are an issue. Finally, the customer service is excellent. Basically,I am a very satisfied customer whose cars have been running smoothly under their care! read more

Great Service! Friendly staff, truly care about helping you out. Brought my car in, due to rust from it being in the north previously for long period of time, it ended up needing more work then expected. However they were very honest with me and even helped me out when it came time to paying, they could have charged me much more. I really trust them and will continue to bring my car to them to service! Highly recommended read more

We have been taking all our cars to Tom for years and couldn't be happier. There prices are fair but the most important aspect is their honesty and willingness to explain all options without pressure. I couldn't recommend them more and in fact have recommended to many friends. read more

We have had our business and personal vehicles serviced by Tysons Auto for 8 years. The team is always great and very honest about the repairs we need. If it is something minor or not a good value, Tom will tell us that up front. Highly recommend their shop. read more

Kind, honest and prompt service. Always courteous and honest. Patrick was helpful. All the staff was great and I recommend them to everyone. Don't go to the dealers. From my experience I will always go to this car care center. read more
