Brought it in for what I thought was a power steering leak but turned out to be more. They did a very thorough inspection to see if there was anything else wrong with it since I was planning on driving it cross country and found something else that might have left me stranded in the middle of the country. Very professional, Good and friendly service and accurate price quotes. Would definitely go there again and would recommend it to others.

Honest work. Fixed exactly what I needed.

Excellent! I already knew that my left taillight and rear brakes needed to be replaced. But Joey (owner) suggested that my tires would perform better if I increased pressure from 32 lbs (as recommended by both car and tire mfr) to 35 lbs. He was right! I can tell the improvement, especially when cornering.Thanks, Joey and David!

Joey is incredibly helpful and amazing service!!

This really is the best mechanic in the DMV area. Way back when I was a broke kid out of college, I brought my car in after the dealership wanted to clean out my bank account to do some minor repairs. Joe walked me through what can be done now and what can wait and then charged way less than any other place around. Ive trusted him ever since and only recently made the mistake of going somewhere else to have some work done. This other place wanted to charge me so much for this work, so I called Joe to get his thoughts, and sure enough he responded with explaining theres a possibility that the work wasnt even necessary because the particular year for my car had some quarks and the maker acknowledged them. I really appreciate how he keeps up-to-date knowledge on these things and is honest with me.

They kept my car for three days to find out why my A/C didnt work (2000 BMW) and they drove it. No problem found--no charge-- and the A/C has worked fine ever since. They are honest and thorough.

I’ve been going to Baird Automotive for 20 years. They have consistently given me good service and advice. I have recommended a number of people to go to Baird because Baird has never let me down. They will not up sell you on things you do not need and they will do the job right. Highly recommended.

Was referred here by a friend, wanted to give a shout out to them because they did a great job that the price they charged me way less than the phone quote that I got from the dealership.

High quality work, fair prices, careful customer interface

Service was awesome. Professional knowledgeable and honest. I felt taken care of and supported. The cost of the service was more than fair. I highly recommend this company and will continue to take my business there.

Simply the best. Real car experts who give you understandable, clear answers and who dont talk down to you if youre a car novice. Excellent customer service.

A long time Arlington favorite. Fair Deal and good work. Hard to find these days. Been a satisfied customer for 25 years.

Joey and the team are fantastic to work with. They are personable and have a great sense of humour. Highly recommend.

Im extremely happy and satisfied with my service. Thank you, Baird Automotive.

Great service, came in twice now for work on my car and both times was treated with respect and they were able to do the work quicker than any other shop quoted. Great experience.

Ive been taking my car to Baird for a few years...and now my wife is taking hers there as well. The one thing you need most when selecting a mechanic...is trust. Trusting the business to begin working on your vehicle when they say they will...and finishing when they say they will. Trusting that the owner wont try to sell you on needless repairs. Trust in the mechanics to do a good job...and certainly trust in the business...to stand behind their work. Youll check all of these points off the list at Baird. Ive had minor work done at Baird...and a few major repairs as well. Outstanding service and extremely satisfied! This is the only shop that will work on our vehicles.

Joey has been my mechanic for something like 20 years ... or more. I have never been unhappy with any work that was performed, I trust him completely, work is complete in short period of time and when he says it will be. Id give Joey a lot more stars if they were available.

This is one of those rare reviews Im reluctant to give... Baird is great for all the right reasons. When something is wrong they fix it, but when nothing is really wrong, they dont over sell something you dont need - otherwise known as an honest mechanic. Theyre rare, and the only downside of the good work is they are super busy and an appointment is a must. Thus, my reluctance.... they deserve the awesome review but do I really want to share? Sigh. Yes.

We were stuck and desperate. Baird Automotive took great care to get us back on the road. One of the best auto repair experiences ever!

Very happy with service at Baird. I depend on my car for income and was dreading having it spend time in the shop. Joey and his team fixed it up very quickly and got me back on the road.

Honest, ethical, dependable work performed here, jj

The staff at Baird are fantastic. I had a very weird, difficult to diagnose problem with my car. The guys at Baird were relentless in figuring out the problem and getting my car back to me in tip top shape. And each step of the way they were transparent and explained exactly what they were doing, what they thought needed to be done, and how much it would cost. Cant thank them enough for their kindness and excellent work. They are fair, up front, and great mechanics. Thank you!!

Took in my Volvo 850 for a tuneup. Service was professional and inexpensive, with no surprises. This is one of the few mechanics in the area that wont take you for a ride (unlike those knuckleheads at Merchants). They even brought my car next door for an inspection. One tip: dont go in without a reservation. Theyre very popular in the area and thus will take a day or two to get to your car. Since their parking lot is small, I suspect they would prefer that you not leave your car there for that long.

I used Baird Automotive for about a decade (about 1998-2008) when I lived in Georgetown in DC. They did all the routine maintenance on my cars (such as lights, brakes, timing belts, etc.). They were completely reliable and reasonably and fairly priced. In 2008 I moved to the Eastern Shore of MD where I now live.Last month I was driving via DC to North Carolina when my car began to make an unusual noise. I first panicked but decided to take it to Baird to see if they would fit me in and find out if it was serious. I went there, encountered the same guy who used to manage my service (Mr. Baird?), who said I should wait a few minutes. I did, then he came back, and we went for a ride, with him driving my car. He came back to the garage, told me to wait in the waiting area and put the car on a lift.About 20 minutes later he came back and said the noise was not serious and I could continue the trip. When I asked him for a bill, he said it was on the house. I insisted and he resisted. I finally put two $20s on the counter and said to give them to the other mechanics for lunch. He laughed and said OK and I left. Now how many garages would do that for you when they know there was little or no chance for contunuing business from somebody? But that was consistent with the service I always had gotten from Baird,

Joey is the man. Trust worthy and honest. Amazing and timely work on your car.

I went to Baird based on reviews on the net and the Washington Checkbook. I was very impressed by the questions they asked to get to the root of the problem, and their willingness to help an engaged customer who admittedly isnt a mechanic. Ill go to them again when I have the need, and encourage others as well.

Can’t say enough nice things about Baird. Great people, great service, no worries. 100% trust.

This is the only place I bring my car. Trustworthy and dependable with good communication and quality work.

Terrible experience. Use someone else!!!

Consistently excellent service at good prices. My car service headaches are a thing of the past, now that I have Baird Automotive in my life.

My 17 yr old car is finally running good again. Might make it to 100,000 thanks to this place.

Best auto care shop in the DC metro area. Honest people and good service.

My family has relied on Baird Automotive for well over a decade. They are excellent! I wont go anywhere else.

Terrible. Stay away. I picked up my car in worse condition than I dropped it off. The mechanic I dealt with had absolutely no automotive performance knowledge..They told me it was ready so I picked it up and went for a drive. I noticed it felt really off and kind of erratic under throttle and then I broke down on the side of the highway. Got my car home on a tow truck and left a long voicemail for Baird Automotive. NO ONE GOT BACK TO ME! Left me in the dark. I also found out they charged me triple (yes thats right triple, not double) for the parts they installed.

Honest and good. Hard to beat.

Very helpful, great service, and transparent pricing.

Joey got the job done quickly and got is back on the road

Consistently 5 Stars!!

Baird Automotive is consistent, honest, fair, and competent.

Family-owned, local business. Professional work and clear communicators!
