“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.”
“Excellent—great options for service—I would recommend the shop, its mechanics, and staff with no reservations. Thank you for consistently taking care of our needs.”
“We have been taking our cars to Gary and his team for several years now. They have never failed to provide uncomparable service, with fair and clear rates, as well as detailed descriptions of proposed work. And most importantly they keep track of what our car services our car has had done and what it needs and have always kept an open line of communication via phone text and email.
Here's another small but huge thing for me: a few years back my daughter and I were on vacation and had an issue with my car's starter. We were 4 hours away from Preferred but I called them anyway. I spoke to Todd (a dream!) who quickly diagnosed the issue over the phone. Because they keep such accurate records of our vehicle he was able to tell me when that part had last been addressed and explained why it may have been an issue now. He even offered suggestions for how to find a reputable shops for the repair as well as parameters for a fair pricing.
How is THAT for service?
We have referred many friends and neighbors to Preffered and will continue to do so. I cannot say enough good things about them.”
“Amber is such a great technician!! Everyone else was very professional and friendly. Quick service !! Nobody pressures you for additional service. They give you advice recommendations while they are at it. Highly recommended them. Best place I’ve had service done for Jeep. 5⭐️”
“Our go to for our lexus car oil change and tire rotation with Andrew. They also did our 30k miles routine and bought new tires at 55k miles. A one stop shop indeed. Best price in the area. They are open on some Saturdays for appointment only. Parking can be tough but the service is exceptional!”
“The experience was good, except for the oil change sticker they placed on my car. It took me some time for the staff to tell me that the oil change reminder was placed on my car by mistake”
“I have been going to DP for nearly 20 years (since when it first opened). Dave is all you would want from an auto mechanic -- thorough, skilled, fair, honest. He figures out exactly what needs repair, does it perfectly, charges a fair price and never, ever upsells. He has a line of repairs every morning because his loyal customer base all recognize the same thing. I will continue to go to him for all my auto needs.”
“Amazing amazing place! Comes highly recommended from folks around NoVa (also Falls Church award program best auto repair shop 2022, 2023, 2025). It’s a family-run business + extra hands on deck. Felix was at a Honda dealership for several years before opening up shop. I came in with a rattling/wobbling car at highway speeds and tire issues, also checking for general issues since my car’s a 2009. All was double-checked, everything I wanted fixed was done well and my car drives so smooth now. I also feel they are honest and trustworthy because not only were fixes only done as I gave permission, but I also called another garage I know to verify their ballpark prices for fixes — they were almost exactly the same as Felix Auto Service’s quote. 10/10 will go back for future care issues”
“My car was making a really odd sound, so I brought it into Rossi’s. They got me in right away, found the issue quickly, and had it fixed the same day. The staff was super friendly and communicative. Big thanks to Rod and Steve for taking the time to explain everything and figure out the mystery sound.”
“There is no other place that I would prefer to take my car to get fixed. One of the most professionally-run businesses I have seen or used (multiple times), Always with the best results.”
“Quick, efficient, honest, and all around great neighborhood shop. I have come here numerous times for my old Saturn Ion and I cannot speak enough good words for Woody and Metro Motors. I truly appreciate how much of a straight shooter he is, doesn't price gauge, is just a solid guy, and I have always felt he was being honest with me. I cannot recommend this business enough. I recommend everyone to him! Woody is the best !!”
“I am very satisfied with Paul and his crew.
Mechanics gets a bad rap these days, but we are very fortunate to have found this particular Auto shop that is reliable and honest to its customers. I will have this shop to service all of my vehicles from now on PERIOD!!!!!!!”
“Best mechanic shop! From front of house to the most honest mechanic in the business. I’ve been a loyal customer for 32 years. Most recently I had a used car inspected and I am glad I did. The golden gears team found some issues that the dealer ended up fixing. Thanks golden gears!”

“Winkler provides EXCELLENT, PROFESSIONAL, HONEST service! It was the ONLY place that ACCURATELY diagnosed and fixed the issues causing my check-engine light to be on and my car to flunk DC inspection. Three other highly rated shops charged me diagnostic fees; one claimed to have fixed the problem (it had not) and the others gave me long lists of supposedly “urgent” repairs that would have cost megabucks and, as it turns out, would NOT have addressed any of the actual problems. Luckily, I called Winkler. Jeff, Winkler’s manager, was incredibly professional, patient and helpful. He immediately questioned the pricey fixes the other shops had pushed and assured me Winkler would get to the bottom of and repair whatever was going on. And it did! As promised, Jeff and his team thoroughly inspected my 2008 Honda Element, found the real culprits (missed by every other shop), repaired everything for a very reasonable price and kept in touch with me every step of the way (so there were no surprise costs at all). The result? My car sailed through inspection and runs better than it has in years. The bottom line: Winkler is the ONLY place that took the time to truly solve the problem, and it did so with integrity, expertise and fairness. I HIGHLY recommend It for outstanding quality, honesty, fair pricing, and professionalism. Winkler is the only place I’ll take my cars from now on!”
“Kiah is incredible at her job and is the reason I will continue to use NTB as my car servicer! There are not many shops I’ve been to where there’s someone you can speak to that truly balances both professionalism and empathy. I thank her so much for the help she provided me!”
“Metro Motor went above and beyond to help with my broken jeep. My fiancé and I were traveling on our honeymoon when it happened 8 hours from home. The employees were inviting and understanding. And did everything they could to get us out the next day. Highly recommend to anyone in that area!”
“I've been servicing my Volvo here since 2023, and I couldn't be more satisfied. The team is transparent, reliable, and professional. Their pricing is fair, and the quality of service consistently excellent.”
“AK Motors is excellent shop that provides clear and transparent solutions to all car issues . Helped me to pass emissions test after previously failing. Provides great customer service while truly looking out for the customer best interest.”
“One of my car’s had a dead battery. I thought it was the alternator. I had it towed to this shop. The mechanics, Eddie, was super helpful and called me almost immediately to let me know that it was in fact a corroded battery. He didn’t beat around the bush. He kept it very open about cost (which was fairly priced), and within a few hours of having my car towed to their shop, the car was fixed and we were back on our way. Will definitely recommend this shop to friends and neighbors and use them for future”
“Mark and the team there were SUPER helpful. I stopped in just before 8 pm because a tire I had just replaced somewhere else was having an issue. They fixed it up quickly and also addressed a brake light issue for me, which another mechanic had said would cost me hundreds of dollars to fix! It turned out to be a much simpler fix and they saved me a ton of time and money. Professional, kind, and would highly recommend. Will be bringing my car back here for service for sure.”
“Phenomenal service at NTB on Hungerford. The staff in the shop is wonderful
Sophie keeps a wonderful store and the service manager William was phenomenal very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this location to friends and family”
“Jin was extremely helpful and accommodating as I needed the tires asap. He was very knowledgeable with tires and got the job done quickly. Thanks for your help!”

“Great mechanics and great customer service! It took some time to source replacement parts for my very old car, but they were super communicative, friendly, and helpful through every step of the process, and tried to keep costs as low as possible. I will definitely use Burnt Mills Auto Body in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Because I am still driving my 1998 S-70 Volvo, I needed to find a service provider who knew about older Volvos and could trouble shoot. Volvo specialists is pricey but (particularly if you have an older car), they do exemplary service on older vehicles and they keep me on the road.”

“I took my Honda Odyssey in for a state inspection. Unfortunately, it didn’t pass but they were able to fix it the day of the inspection and get it to pass. Military discount was greatly appreciated. Thankful for the communication and photos shared to help explain the problem. We will be back!”
“Carter was helpful and friendly. He consulted on tires I wanted and was competitive with Tire Rack on price. The team also did a great job on a brake service and did only what I needed. Turnaround time on getting the tires and parts and getting the whole job done was quick and I was kept informed with every step. Excellent experience, exceeded expectations.”
“I've been taking my lexus rx to mq for the last few years. Minh is quick, does a good job, and priced fair. No upselling, just straight forward, honest service.”
“Kevin gave me some advice I'm working through to see if it resolves one of the issues I have. Looking forward to seeing how it does before heading back out for actual service.”
“Joe is a thorough and attentive mechanic who explained everything clearly beforehand and made sure I left knowing more about my vehicles than when I arrived. I brought the car in for one thing and he made sure to check out everything so it would be in good working order before I left.”
“Recently went to best auto care for a maryland car inspection. The owner gabriel did a fantastic job on inspecting the car and pointing out what needed to be fixed. Owner is very professional and honest, hats off”
