If you can get an appointment at a time that works for your repair needs, there is no point in going anywhere else. The fact that there is usually a long wait to get an appointment should tell you all you need to know about Dranesvilles quality service. They provide excellent, honest work at a fair price. Other repair shops should consider that formula.
These guys are consistently honest. They will tell me if a repair does not need to be done even when I think it needs to be done. They charge me for the time that it takes to make the repair and consistently charge me significantly LESS than my estimate. I would recommend them to anyone.
Took in my vehicle after getting a quote from a regional well known auto repair shop. The well known shop quoted a repair which wasn’t needed and the other two items done on my auto were done for less then half of what was quoted by the other repair shop. Repairs were done quickly and I was able to pick up auto on same day. Highly recommend this company for any auto repairs that you may need. Honest and trustworthy.
Great people to work with, great prices on fixing things. Will always use this place..
The best auto service on the area. You will probably have to wait a few days for an appointment, but its worth it for honest work. They only charge you for what needs to be done. Even if you suggest more expensive repairs, they dont do them unless necessary.
Great experience. Everyone is knowledgeable. I will be taking my jeep back to them. They came highly recommended to me. Then I decided to use them. Awesome work
I have been taking all my vehicles here for over 40 years, and my dad, 15 years prior to that! If you want an honest mechanic who does good work and doesnt Rob you blind with unnecessary stuff, then this is the place to go. State inspection, emissions, repair work...heck, they even replaced the engine in my Jeep! Ive tried other places and not to rip on any other place, Dranesville is a breath of fresh air!
So far theyre awesome they Rock they fix my car in an hour and a half they must be cool car rockins in the USA
Always fair and honest. I trust them and that is saying a lot for any auto repair business. Very reasonable and they will never try to sell you work that you dont need and will also tell you if someone else recommended a repair that you did not need. Everything you could ask for in an auto repair shop!
Great work!They replaced my rear end and did a great job.They might not have the best of the best customer service but I can sure tell you they do honest work and are the best mechanics in northern va!
Ive been taking my car here for a long time. The prices are very reasonable, and most importantly the mechanics are honest. I recently experienced my car pulling to the right side and I thought it needed a wheel alignment. However, when Dranesville Auto looked at it they found that there was a nail in one of my tires and it was nearly flat. They removed the nail, plugged the hole, and reinflated my tire, fixing the issue of my steering pulling to one side. Other auto shops would have either done the realignment without realizing that it wasnt the real problem, or they would have fixed the real problem but charged me an arm and a leg for it. Im grateful that Dranesville Auto is here to give my car problems honest diagnoses and affordable repairs.
I was on my way to Algonkian park to kayak when my tire pressure light came on. I pulled over to inflate the tire using my little portable pump and happened to end up in front of the shop. After about 5 minutes of trying and failing to get the tire up to pressure, a garage door opened and a mechanic came out and told me to pull up to the bay. After I did, he inflated the tire (no charge) and I was on my way again. A little thing but it indicates the kind of people that work here.
This is a great place. Honest, great place..They always tell you what is wrong with your car, before they work on it..
Best auto service in the area, full stop👍
Very professional; excellent service. Got my car repaired and out the door within 24 hours. Front desk is helpful and responsive via phone.
What a great shop. Not only are gas prices fair but the auto shop is top notch. By far the most honest and skilled technicians with great management that really cares.
Drainsville Auto is the best honest Mechanic providing excellent work at great prices. I always, refer my family & friends to them. They are exceptional and truly care about their customers.
Got a flat tire. Dropped it off at night after closing and had the car back the next day with two new tires and an oil change to boot. They even stayed late to finish the paperwork. Great service, fair price. Recommend.
The service was amazing the mechanic work on my car was excellent and the cost was reasonable. They are my go to mechanics. I highly recommend Dranesville Auto and the front desk is courteous and helpful too
Great service. Great price.
A Completely Honest and Family Run business here... Each time Ive used them I am more impressed by their honesty and quality of work.This shop has been in the same location for many many years and generally takes 1-2 weeks to get in. But Ill never quote shop again.I recommended this place to a friend who was also impressed with the quality of work and felt his price was honest. Everyone needs a mechanic this good.
Inspection was thorough and the guy really cared about the safety of the vehicle. So much so that he made some fixes to the truck, for free, so that it would pass. Way to go above and beyond sir.
Im hesitant to give a good review because this place is already busy and hard to get an appointment. But they are good....ney... amazing! Great customer service and reasonable prices.
So glad to meet Dave and co a few years ago - they’ve been taking care of all of my cars. Very kind, genuine people with lots of integrity. I appreciate them so very much!!!
I didn’t appreciate the $63 extra to clean the cooling system, when I actually asked them (and wrote orders) to simply check the level of the antifreeze. What looks very suspicious to me is that I didn’t receive a phone call to ask me if I was ok with that service. I had no choice.Asked what it was, the front desk lady answered:” I don’t know, I don’t work in the repair shop.” Fantastic answer, ain’t?I will not go back there. In addition, the white lady at the front desk (manager?) is so unplaisant that it seems like you are doing her a favor by dropping your car at her place. No hello, no thank you, no good bye.Bye!!
Two great experiences. First, went for a state inspection, small problem. Could have just rejected me, but kept the ticket open, told me exactly how to correct it, and let me run to the autoparts store and resolve it quickly. Second, called to get an appointment to fix an intermittent turn signal failure. Right over the phone, they diagnosed the most likely problem and told me how to try the fix. And it worked. This is after I wasted my time going to the dealer to get the issue resolved, and since it was intermittent, they didnt do anything.
Been going there for the last 6 years. This shop has never disappointed me. They are probably the most honest mechanics around.
Great customer service and friendly. They are very upfront about how long it will be to get an appointment. Fair $$.
Great, honest place to take your car. Have been coming here for years.
An old fashioned garage, just like your granddads .
After searching for shops in Va after moving from Chicago, I was highly recommended to Drainsville. They have WOWED me with their expertise... my 72 Grand Prix will only get serviced there!
I will just count my blessings, that Dave is my mechanic. Honestly you really wony know what a dentist and a mechanic will do to you. These folks are content with their work, and do their best with what they have. No greed in their blood.
When it comes to auto repair, you cant do any better around here than Dranesville Auto. If you are looking for a truly HONEST and fairly-priced auto repair shop to trust with your car, look no further. Like my father before me, I have been taking my cars here since I learned to drive in the mid-1970s. The fact that you may have to wait a week or more for your appointment ought to tell you plenty...not that DA needs any publicity, because it doesnt!
Always make a Appointment wait 2 weeks just from them to say they cant fix my car after having it for 3 days... what is the point of an appointment if they dont even see your car on appointment day
Thanks to our neighbor Eddie for recommending them to my parent anytime we need work done on our cars we always go to them! They done a wonderful good everytime!
A mechanic you can trust at a great price. Its worth the wait.
Great people running an honest business!
Always amazingly trustworthy, honest and theyll look for the most inexpensive yet effective repair you need.
Actual honest mechanic, did great work and reasonably priced.
People are nice, but I took my car in to get the A/C looked at, which they did and thats fine, but I also told them to fix my exhaust pipe. They told me that they would weld it and it would cost $120 which I agreed would be okay. He called back and told me he would decrease the cost to $70, which I thought was lovely until I actually looked at it and saw that rather than welding it, they JB WELDED it. NOT THE SAME THING. I drove it around and after a week it busted and the exhaust pipe is hanging again. I dont have the money to waste at this shop just for them to JB weld the thing again. If I wanted that I would have gone to Autozone and did it myself. Definitely let me down. I thought they were just trying to help me out after seeing how crappy my car was, but turns out THEY were trying to save a buck. Thanks a lot guys.
Had a problem with my car. I went to them, asked for an inspection, and they told me that I had some old rusty parts inside. Since I had only recently purchased the car (Kia Soul 2013 used AND precertified by the Kia factory to have good working parts), dranesville auto suggested I go to my dealer, tell them theres old rusted out parts (the dealer had not been so kind to let me know about this), and that they should fix it for free for me. I did that and my dealer (Fairfax Kia) covered the cost, after a great deal of nagging. Dranesville Auto ended up saving me $800. good peoples.
Quality service at the right price
Great service and fair pricing.
Always good
I completely agree with Mike, these guys are amazing, they are simply the best!
Last service there took three techs to find the issue. Then after telling them to wait on repair they started anyway. Really poor way of doing business.
Always helpful and honest
Great auto repair service
