Great service, with reasonable pricing. Came in for a regular car service, and was ready for pick up in a few hours. Would highly recommend!

David is a very reliable and straight forward guy. He and his team did a wonderful job on my Toyota RAV4. He also made sure to test the car before finishing to ensure that the issue was resolved. The previous estimate at the Toyota dealership was outrageous and David made sure that I got what I needed. I can definitively say that I have found a new reliable mechanic.

I've been a loyal customer of DP Auto since I moved to DC as a grad student in 2017. They've consistently provided me with dependable, reasonably priced, and high-quality service. Their assistance has ranged from accommodating early appointments for my road trips to not charging me when they had to redirect me to a specialized shop. I'm delighted to continue as a returning customer!

Came to David after a dealership told me I needed thousands of dollars in repairs before a long road trip (they didn't say anything about the repairs until I told them about the trip). All of the reviews about DP Auto are true- David quickly took in my car, did an assessment and gave me an accurate timeline for when the car will need service. And based on reviews those repairs will be significantly better priced.

Came to DP Auto for an oil change months back and a rotor/brake pad change recently. They did both jobs at average price for labor. Unfortunately, after the brake change, when I got in my car it reeked of fast food, the back cup holder was down and there was soda in it along with straw wrappers littering the floor, and the AC was cranked up. They had used my car to eat lunch in and did not clean up after themselves. They also rummaged through the spare wheel well to get to the wheel locks (which I understand were needed for the brake change and I would’ve happily got them for them) and they left that in a messed up state as well because when I checked it things were left in a pile and the floor cover couldn’t even lay flat on top. Overall, I had a good experience with the oil change but this last experience they really disrespected my space - they used my car outside of purpose and didn’t clean up after themselves. It was obnoxious and disrespectful. I messaged Otto of the shop about it and got no response. I won’t be visiting here again.EDIT: Otto called me after the review posted to apologize for the incident.

A few weeks after getting a new SUV a warning about low tire pressure appeared while I was driving near Connecticut Ave. I pulled int DP, a nearby placeI knew nothing about. They quickly found a huge wood screw on one tire, removed it, and patched the tire for a reasonable charge. Now a year later I was again on Conn Av with grandchildren and about to drive out of town. Again the low tire pressure warning appeared, so I I returned to DP. This time the tires were slightly low on pressure but no punctures. Driving a few blocks did not turn off the warning, so I returned. Apparently my SUV system requires resetting after such an event. One of their mechanics knew that & soon we were one the highway. A few days and a few hundred miles showed no new warnings and their help was without charge!

Excellent mechanic. They are quick, reasonably priced, accommodating and thorough. They fixed a problem with my fiancee's buick that we had tried to get fixed at numerous other places in just 2 days.

I went to a Toyota dealership in VA who quoted me a bunch of items for a total cost of $6000. I couldn't believe it so I took my car to DP for a second opinion. None of the repairs that I was told needed to be done. I'm so thankful for their honesty.

I have had work done at DP Auto a few times now, and each time I have been quite happy with both the quality of the work, cost, and level of service. Everyone who works there is friendly and I recommend this shop to any of my friends who need some work done on their vehicle.

Wow, I was amazed by the mechanics that work here! I was a bit hesitant at the beginning because they place is small and a bit messy but everyone there was super professional. I will definitely bring my car here if I ever need a repair.

Very good experience with this local shop. Brought my car in for some needed brakes and suspension work which turned to be pretty substantial. They took a look and provided me with some options, and I never felt really pressured or upsold with unneeded items like I have at many shops. I made an appointment for the work as they were very booked, but they were able to get me in a week early, and the final cost was very close to the original estimate. Very nice to do business!Services: Steering & suspension repair

Straightforward shop with fair pricing in my experience. I recommend making an appointment when possible as they get pretty busy.I've been here a few times for smaller part replacements, latest visit was for a bit more which went like the following. I emailed the shop discussing what I needed and asking for a quote. We set up an appointment and they ordered the necessary parts.Dropped my car off and it was ready the same day only a few hours later.Price seemed fair and was much better than another shop I went to in the area. Parts I had replaced were: rear calipers, brakes(I brought pads), rotors, and a valve timing solenoid replacement w/kit.Services: Engine repair

David is honest, accurate, and lets you know what needs to be done vs. what can wait. He provides personalized service and checks in on how things are going. It's been hard to find this level of service in the DMV area. Very highly recommended!

I cannot recommend David and his team enough. I’ve been going to them for a couple years now for small things like a tire plug to big things like getting my radiator replaced. They are honest, transparent, and hardworking. I tend to work on my vehicles on my own first and then go to them if I’ve reached my limit of expertise. I’ve been in DC for over 13 years. These folks are the real deal.
