“I brought my 2002 Toyota Tundra 4x4 in for an oil change, state inspection and an overall assessment. Having just moved to MD, Gary took me through the nuances of the inspection process, and communicated his assessment quickly and effectively.
When I dropped off the truck, I made it clear that I was open to whatever work was required on the vehicle—a risky proposition given my experience at other shops, but I wanted to get everything buttoned up in one go.
Gary and I discussed adding two services, an alignment and a door handle replacement (I figured I needed these) and that was it. Nothing more. No upselling, no scare tactics, just honest, great work, at a very fair price.
I also have a 2021 BMW going out of warranty this year. I’ll be taking it, along with the truck, to Allbrand for all maintenance and repairs going forward.”
“Ivan is excellent at his job. He knows how to treat his customers and he knows what he is doing. My old mechanic replaced several parts and the noise continued... and Ivan drove my car and immediately knew what it was! At that moment I knew I was in the right place! Politeness, excellence in work, speaks three languages, makes Ivans Auto Repair my new trusted mechanic! Thank you for that!”
“Great service, honest, fast. E&D team have repaired my family vehicles for over 12 years. the have install new tires and batteries fixed transmission and engines. The only auto shop I trust with my children cars. Jorge”
“Our car broke down 4 hours from home on a holiday weekend. Two young kids in the car. Nightmare scenario. Not only did this shop fix our car (despite technically being closed) but it did it same day, quickly and at a fair price. You can’t ask for more than that. Needless to say, these guys rock!!!!”
“Highly recommend this retro service station in the heart of Kensington’s Antique Row. The staff are so very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I just had two tires replaced on my Volvo, and although they were special order, the tires arrived in one day. I am grateful for the prompt, expert service!”
“Great experience. I feel so lucky to have a Mercedes specialist so close. Sam did an amazing job communicating and explaining to me what needed to be done, and they got it done super quickly. Thank you!”
“Great place to take your car! I was amazed at the friendly service and reasonable cost. I will be recommending your shop to my friends and will be coming back with any other issues down the road. Greatly appreciate all of your help!”
“What a wonderful group. Been a HAPPY customer for decades. They always help me get what I need. Within my budget. And back on the road within the day. MANY MANY thank yous for all the help over the years. LOVE my new bed cover. Thanks again! David”
“Outstanding workmanship. Honest, forthright, superb craftsmanship. I've been working with Brian and Gallo for 20 years, on numerous vehicles - usually at least one or two of my old cars are in the shop at any given time. Without fail, each time, the cars come out as stunning works of art. Now, fair warning - this is NOT a place to go for cheap or economy (or for that matter, fast overnight) work. Brian is expensive - you must know that going in. But he also is very accurate in his estimates and his timekeeping and recordkeeping and billing. Usually, when I go there, I wish there was a vaccine for sticker shock - but I've developed a fair immunity over the years. Because - the results are worth it. All of my cars usually go into the shop as hopeless rust buckets - or otherwise as failed PO (prior owner) restorations (e.g., full of mud, bad paint jobs, shoddy mechanics, bad electrical, hidden rust). Gallo and Brian find all of that stuff and put the car back together the RIGHT way. In short, if you're looking for inexpensive, quick, fast-and-dirty, TV-reality car-flip el cheapo work, then go somewhere else. If you have the funds, the time, the patience, and the appreciation, then you come here for your restoration work. Put it this way - take a look at the shop. It's not fancy - they aren't taking your money and buying a bunch of fancy facilities and furnishings - it's a three-bay garage with a paint booth and a tented storage lot (graveyard?) out back, minimum frills, lots of work going on. And you can see the work being done - it's right there in front of you. You can see the time and quality going into each project. And Brian keeps extremely accurate records of each nut, bolt, part, etc. that goes into the restoration. The other plus - Brian outsources his upholstery work to the best in the business, Jamie over at Car Care Customs in Silver Spring. Jamie is the nicest guy in the world, and does absolutely astounding work (again, take a look at the no-frills shop on Garfield - fabric piled to the ceiling, sewing machines humming - all business). Fair warning - better get Jamie fast, since I think he will be retiring soon. But, back to Brian's place - I think I'm probably on my 5th or 6th project (more to come). I'm a huge fan of this shop and of the fine individuals who own and operate it. Has my bank account suffered? Absolutely - painfully. But has my garage benefited from their work? Without question. It never fails - once a car is done (and this may take years), wherever I go, that car turns heads and stops traffic. So, to the haters (the one-stars), sorry you feel that way - there are plenty of fast-fix, cover-the-rust-with-mud places, here today, gone tomorrow. The car restoration business is not for the faint of heart or the light-of-budget. You'd probably be better off going somewhere else. As for me, I'll stick with Murphy Brothers.”
“Emery is the best mechanic on the planet! Honest Trustworthy and old school. My family has been taking our Cars to him for all our troubles for 20 years. You WILL not find a better mechanic than Emery I promise you.”
“Mike and Team are trusted to work on my Toyota and my wife's Hyundai. They are always honest, give great advice and do a very professional job. Can't ask for better. Thanks!”

“I had a great experience at A & S Auto Service Center ?. The staff was friendly, professional, and really took care of my car. I appreciate their honesty and quick service. Definitely my go-to auto repair shop!”
“I brought in my Toyota 4x4 truck here after visiting a few different shops regarding a driveline issue I had when taking off from a stop. This shop was the only one willing to drop the whole transmission and locate the problem instead of wasting time replacing other parts. I was called before they replaced the parts to get my approval, and the issue I had has been fixed since they replaced the clutch and flywheel assembly. Save yourself time and money by getting your car repaired here. They are not afraid of getting their hands dirty.”
“The folks at Precise Auto were able to help me out ASAP when I drive into their shop with a pressing problem. They were nice to chat with and took great care of me when I needed their help.”

“I have been going to Roberto for the last two years and I can say hands down he's the best mechanic in the dmv. Anytime I've had trouble with my 04 BMW E46 he's always quick to find the problem and fix it. I've had times where he'd give my car back same day and always amazes me with the work he does.”
“My friend’s car started yelling at us with some random error code, so naturally we Googled nothing, understood even less, and rolled up to Jiffy Lube hoping someone would just… fix the vibes. We definitely came off as two dumb girls with zero car knowledge. Is it the oil? The brakes? Mercury in retrograde? Who knows. Deonte was an actual angel in a Jiffy Lube uniform. He could’ve told us we needed blinker fluid and a flux capacitor and we would’ve nodded and handed over a credit card. But he patiently explained what the error code meant, what needed attention now, and what could wait. 10/10 will be returning the next time a dashboard light blinks and we start spiraling. Big thanks to Deonte and the whole team for not judging us… and not scamming us.”

“The service was 5 star and when you get documentation that your car is fixed correctly. I don’t think you can get any better than that… except for the smooth ride I now have.”
