They are well below the "book price" on the final price. I come from a family of mechanics and service writers. I go here because they have the specialty equipment needed to service Mercedes. The only thing i would recommend is that you check the hours they are open.

Buyers Beware !!!!!!!…read more My family has been bringing our Mercedes vehicles to this shop for many years. Under the previous owner, we always received honest service, fair pricing, and professionalism. Sadly, since the original owner no longer runs the business and the business came under new management, our experience has been completely different. We recently brought in our 2009 Mercedes S-Class for what should have been a straightforward battery replacement. We were charged $392 for the main battery, $255 for the auxiliary battery, $127 for installation, and an additional $150 storage fee, bringing the total bill to $924. Here's where things became unacceptable. The shop contacted us on Friday for additional information about the vehicle, and we immediately authorized the repair. However, because they are no longer open on Saturdays and did not have the battery in stock, they had to order it. Instead of accepting responsibility for their scheduling and parts availability, they charged us $150 in storage fees because the vehicle remained on their lot over the weekend before the repair was even completed. The car wasn't sitting there because we delayed picking it up. It was sitting there because they hadn't completed the repair. We explained that we should not be responsible for storage charges on a vehicle that was still waiting on parts and had not yet been repaired. They refused to remove the charge. It didn't stop there. Once the repair was finally completed, they called us at 4:00 p.m. to let us know the car was ready. The shop closes at 5:00 p.m., so we immediately told them we were on our way. That's when we were informed that the "final pickup time" was actually 4:00 p.m. They then said that if we could make it before they closed at 5:00 p.m., we "should be okay." That made absolutely no sense. If the final pickup time is 4:00 p.m., why wait until 4:00 p.m. to notify your customer that the vehicle is ready? You have no idea whether your customer is at work, across town, or otherwise unavailable. After already charging us $150 in storage fees for a vehicle that hadn't even been repaired, it certainly felt like we were being set up to incur another storage charge simply because they waited until the last hour of business to call. As longtime customers, this experience was incredibly disappointing. We trusted this shop for years because of the integrity and customer service under the previous owner. Unfortunately, that level of service appears to be gone. Charging customers storage fees because your business is closed on Saturdays, billing them for storing a vehicle while waiting on parts, and then notifying them at the exact moment your stated pickup deadline begins is, in my opinion, an unfair business practice and a terrible way to treat loyal customers. This shop has lost our business permanently. I would strongly encourage anyone considering bringing their Mercedes .... DON'T. There are too many reputable independent Mercedes repair shops to accept treatment like this. Zero stars if I could give them that.

Per the advice of my mother, who was a previous customer, I stopped in for a pre-trip inspection…read morebefore a very lengthy road trip. I was the first to arrive (before the shop opened), as I wanted to be in and out as quickly as possible. The young lady at the front desk assisted me and informed me that the service required full payment upfront. Now, for many businesses, this would be a red flag. But given the nature of this particular establishment, along with its solid reputation, I was completely OK with this. You've heard of "dine and dash," involving people who eat and skip out on their bill, so I'm sure that this business didn't want to deal with people who "drive and dash." Anyway.... The mechanic started working on my vehicle immediately and was extremely thorough. Shortly thereafter, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Mr. John, when he entered the sitting area/lobby. I asked if he was the owner because he just had that commanding presence that most owners possess & I wanted to speak with him directly. I informed Mr. John about why I came to his shop and truly appreciated the time and care he put into servicing my vehicle to ensure that it was safe. He told me that he could tell I took care of it, and that for its age, it was in great shape. Mr. John even went the extra mile (see what I did there, haha) and showed me some things that were worn and would eventually need repair. This was great info, not only so I know what to expect for a future visit to my local auto repair shop but also because I decided to have some of the work performed that same day. I felt it was wise to get it out of the way and not have to worry about anything breaking while on the road. Mr. John even told me to call once I arrived at my destination, which further proved that he genuinely cares about his customers and takes great pride in his work. I called the following week and let the young lady at the service desk know that my trip was smooth!

Mr. John will give it to you straight with fair pricing. Originally brought my Audi Q5 in for a…read morecoolant leak. After diagnosing the problem he informed me the cost of repairs would be almost equivalent to an engine replacement. As the issue could be a simple water pump or more complex as a blown head gasket. Needless to say the work was not performed but I appreciated his honesty!

Moving to a new area and trying to find a good auto shop is like buying a lottery ticket hoping to…read morewin the jackpot. After moving to Waldorf, I was impressed with (and a little skeptical of) Boswell's nearly 5 Star Yelp rating. After using Boswell's twice, I quickly experienced how they earned and maintain their reputation. The owner, Tom is not afraid to tell you his rates up front and give his best estimate on time needed to diagnose/fix. He is candid about when he will be able to get to your car. I never felt pressure for any repairs - Tom is like an experienced doctor who gives his best diagnosis for what is wrong with a vehicle including options and costs for different courses of action. After 5 years, Boswell's is still our go-to auto repair shop. Through many repairs over the years, both small and large - Boswell's consistently provides fair prices, good service, and great communication. Thanks, Tom!

That is because I haven't had a great experience with either of them. After having a very terrible experience at JJ's Auto service which is right next door and please see my review for that. I had an excellent experience at Boswell's which is where I got everything fixed for a fraction of the price. Bill and Tom, the latter of whom is the owner we're super friendly and nice. Tom's wife answers the phone and is polite and courteous. I wanted the job done quickly and efficiently so that I could get my car back on the road otherwise I wouldn't be able to move forward with the rest of my work in business meetings they were very understanding of that and made sure that they did everything to accomplish it and exceeded my expectations I have absolutely nothing horrible to say about them because they're such wonderful folks and apparently they've been in business for a very long time and they know what they do and they're good at it. If you ever find yourself stuck in the area and need car repairs I would have no hesitation to recommend them to anyone

The mechanic made it seem like everything was fine and the vehicle would be ready, but when we showed up to pick up the vehicle, they still hadn't even looked at it.

Don't EVER take your vehicle here--worst shop ever.

I took a 2011 Silverado Hybrid over to have a "bolt on" cat-back exhaust system and 4 new oxygen sensors installed. They got it done in like 5hrs and the work was quality. They even ran a detailed engine diagnostic report when the check engine light failed to stay off (it being in is why I had them do the O2 sensors in the first place). Turns out it is a wiring issue that will have to be addressed some other time. Every contact point in their operation is smooth, fair, and efficient. The employees are all super friendly too!

What a nice surprise these guys were, holy shiz…read more For background I own a 2010 Audi S4, manual transmission, and it's been one of the slicker cars I've owned in my 50 years. No accidents, in great shape, unique enough, and best of all, paid off. I've been taking it to Audi Tyson's Corner religiously since 2021 (a phenomenal shop in its own right), but after deciding to sell my beloved S4 on carsandbids.com, I wasn't ready to pony up $6K for the recommended service (carbon cleaning). I shopped around here on Yelp for a better deal and Edwin & his team replied within a day. I was a little sus given I tend to ignore Yelp replies from businesses with no reviews, but Edwin talked the talk so I checked them out on Google. They were on point and looked legit, so I started a convo about what was going on & what ATC recommended, and Edwin came back with a solid quote. From our brief discussions in their small office (hard to find btw but worth tracking them down), it's clear Edwin knows German engines, and even sent me some footage of before/after pix of the cylinders when it was done. When I picked it up, he popped the hood and explained what they did, one of them being a repair that it looks like ATC missed. The car was noticeably more responsive on the drive back to VA, like the first time I drove it. No lag, drag, limp or sputter. I'm headed back in given the check engine light is on (it was the main indicator to this latest problem) but I'm guessing it's an easy enough fix. Edwin said bring it in anytime. I reconsidered selling it for like 3 minutes after returning home, but then realized the roads, drivers, and people of the DMV are some of the worst I've ever seen, so I'm sticking with unloading it. Given the Capitol region has completely destroyed any and all joy I take in driving, I'm buying something that I wouldn't be too upset about when I'm eventually hit by one of the tens of thousands reckless idiot drivers of the DMV. Thanks to DriveOne, I might be able to at least chase them down better after they do so.
