Love, love, love this place and will never trust anyone else to work on my car. After being ripped off by Koons Toyota service shop, this is a breath of fresh air. They go over every single thing and make reasonable and honest recommendations. They also have easy online scheduling. I feel so grateful I found this place, just wish I would've done it sooner. read more

Fast and professional auto shop. They were able to evaluate my vehicle and provide sound advice within a reasonable time. I appreciated the open communication, frankness, and ability to pay online. The area is a little rough in that the strip of road leading to the shop seems like it needs regular cleaning since there was a lot of broken glass from bottles when I visited. There is no waiting area so you'll need to walk out one way or the other, and some street cleaning would help with that. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service and advice I received. read more

Auto Tech of Tysons - Entrance - Auto Repair Near Me - McLean, Virginia

I chose Auto Tech based on the strong reviews at Washington Consumer Checkbook, and here on Yelp. I. Am. Impressed. I won't share the whole story here except to say that these guys are honest and efficient. I came to Auto Tech because Pohanka Lexus recommended over $2,000 worth of minor repairs. These guys could have just quoted me a lower price and made me happy. Instead, they inspected my car and told me that I truly did not need half of the repairs that the crooked dealer service manager had tried to sell me. Ralph at Auto Tech responded to my emails, answers the phone, speaks plainly and tells you what he's good at and what you'd be better off taking elsewhere. I wish that they did Virginia inspections (I understand why they don't). I wish they had a better waiting area (I understand why they don't). I wish they were a little closer to the Metro station. But hey, when those are your only complaints about a mechanic, you're doing well... read more

My parents and I have been bringing our cars to Autotech since I was 16 years old in 1986, before Ralph Jr took over the reigns. We never had a bad experience and we have brought many different models of cars with many different problems over this time. The shop has been very professional, understanding, reasonably priced and deserves more than five stars. read more

Took my car here when red lights started flashing on my Volkswagen. One, it's close to a metro. Two, it was highly recommended by my girlfriend, her father (Who is self professed car guy and will only take his cars here) and a completely unrelated random coworker. Three, got back with me with a fair and very specific estimate. No work was done without permission and communication was very clear. Highly recommend! read more

Solid dudes here. They have reasonable prices, and actually give you options for maintaining your car instead of acting like you need the most expensive solution to every problem. They also have your car ready when they say they will. If you're really offended by Republicans, you might want to avoid having long conversations with a couple of the folks, but everyone here is really nice. read more

Just had my car serviced here for the first time. Came recommended by a friend and I must say that I am totally ecstatic about the service! They were very thorough when explaining my options and competitive in price. I went to two other places before going to them for a price quote and they offered better prices by far! They worked on my car in a timely manner, I couldn't be happier. I finally feel like I've found a place that won't rip me off, somewhere I can trust with my car. Gonna tell everyone I know about them. If you need a repair, check them out!! read more

My family started going to Auto Tech in 1982 - before I could even drive. They have seen our family grow as we have watched their business grow. You can't find a friendlier, more honest, better priced shop anywhere!! I live in Arlington now and it is a trek to make my way to the Tysons shop. But really it is worth it - I know that when I bring my car here I am not going to be ripped off or taken advantage of. I can trust them to give me sound advice on what I need to do. When i was in college and funds were an issue, they were also good about helping me prioritize my repairs. I never plan on taking my car anywhere else. read more

I had auto tech of Tyson's perform a pre purchase inspection on a vehicle before I took over the lease. On all prepurchase inspections I've received in past from other shops and dealers, forms are filled out noting grades/conditions and marking diagram of any body damage. With auto tech I received an invoice w 4-5 lines of text. It also noted no body damage which was not the case as there was a ding on a door and scratches on the rear bumper This is far far far from a good prepurchase inspection. At best this should have been half the price and they went as far as a state inspection which is practically useless. read more

I brought my car in to replace the brake fluid and check the tire pressure. The team was conscientious, professional, and efficient. They did the work in the estimated time. They also took the time to investigate a potential problem with my tire pressure sensors and warning light and resolved it properly. Thanks for a job well done. read more

Auto Tech of Tysons is a great shop. They were quick, friendly, obviously honest, and very reasonably priced. I saved $200 on replacing two belts, and was in and out in under an hour. Ralph at the front desk even took the time to look over some other body issues I had and gave some recommendations about what he would focus on fixing, as well as a referral to a local body shop. They're my new go-to auto mechanic! read more

Honest and trustworthy. The BP at Connecticut and Nebraska Avenues tried to scam me out of $4000. I took my car to Auto Tech and the repair was $250. Ralph and his team are wonderful. read more

Five Stars isn't enough to validate the dedicated and diligent work that Auto Tech provides. I've been taking my car here for years and I'm never disappointed with their professionalism and service. Ralph jr, the shop Forman, clearly has a full grasp on running this establishment. Not only was he willing to provide the estimate on the work for free but he was able to show me competitors pricing. While fielding a multitude of calls and dealing with staff onsite. Not only does this shop do a great job, they usually handle most issues in a timely manner. I've come here for breaks, regular oil changes, timing chain issues, broken control arms, etc. I've always experienced rapid turn around and in the one event it was going to take longer, they called me and updated me well before close of business. I've found this shop to have the most reasonable prices and the best service in the DC/Metro area and will be frequenting here for years to come. read more

GREAT HONEST SERVICE! I recommend Auto tech of Tysons to everyone! It is by far the most honest auto shop I have ever been to. They are very honest about what your car needs, and dont try to take advantage and offer you the most expensive parts or services that arent necessary. I have saved money and my car is in great shape! Its so refreshing to go to a place that actually says "you really dont need that right now" instead of trying to sell you 364346735 new parts/services. I am definitely a lifelong auto-tech customer! read more

Really appreciated the honesty and that they were so accommodating. Super pleasant and helpful.

Auto Tech has been taking care of our Jeep for 4 years. They explain everything, don't overcharge or do a repair without discussing things! They are the absolute best - read more

I took my old car (about 200k miles; yeah Chrysler!) in because it was running hot and dripping coolant. The guys scheduled the work quickly and spent a good amount of time going over it. All that they found,however, was a disconnected fan cable. They warned me that it could be the gasket (as I suspected) and sure enough it ran a little cooler after the tweak but still not normal. I took it to another mechanic about a week or two later (still suspecting the gasket) who said that the coolant system was visibly corroded in multiple places: reservoir, radiator, and lines. This mechanic said that it would go soon and wasn't worth the repair. He was right on both counts. I would give them a 2, but I was contacted by Ralph in response to this posting. He asked me to evaluate his shop on its cumulative service which would be at least a 4 and so I bumped him up. Overall, Auto Tech is prompt, courteous, honest, and fairly priced. Outside of this instance - where they clearly missed the call - they've been excellent. And nobody's perfect . . . . read more

AutoTech is simply the best. We have been taking all our cars to them for well over a decade and they have never disappointed. Professional. courteous and always on target with estimates and repair and maintenance options. How nice to have a car mechanic that you trust completely. read more

I never review anything on yelp, but I made an exception for this shop. You will not find a better, more honest auto-shop anywhere else. I've been taking my vehicles here for over 15 years now and they have never once delivered anything other than the best possible service at the lowest price. Whenever you have an issue with your car, they will explain to you if and why something must be replaced, should be replaced, or if you can wait. If you can wait, they'll tell you how long. If you live anywhere near this shop, bring your car here once and you will be a customer for life. **Quick note: they are a family shop. Ralph has been there since I have been driving, and now his son has become an integral member of the team, following the phenomenal example laid out by his father and ensuring that Auto Tech of Tysons will continue its tradition of unparalleled service and pricing for the foreseeable future. read more

Trustworthy, reliable, honest, and accurate in their timing estimates what else could you as for in a mechanic?

My husband was in town for an interview and was trying to make it back home which is out of state. The problem was since it was so cold outside and a truck driver whose tire popped on highway when he was on his way home. Well the debris from the semu trucks tire popping it flew back at him and the debris went under his car and shattered his brake pad. They fixed the car within a few hours for a really great price. Now my husband is back on the road on his way home. My husband said that their customer service was great and that he couldn't have went anywhere else that would have been as good as they were to him. They even had puppy treats for our little furbaby. I am so thankful for their help and glad that my babies will be home very soon! Thank you so much Auto Tech for your help. We will definitely come back if we ever need any work done when we are in town! I would recommend anyone to come here! read more

Excellent service and very knowledgeable. (I had a hitch installed on a porsche cayenne)

I'm only 20 minutes from Autotech, but I'd drive hours to come here. In all my years of owning a car, I've never been to a better, more honest, and more pleasant car repair place. They actually fix everything--that actually NEEDS to be fixed--and they never break anything else in the process (which has been my experience elsewhere). When they tell me that something needs to be done, I don't hesitate to do it because I believe them implicitly. And they charge you an honest price. So they get a 5+ rating from me. read more

While I no longer drive a Toyota, when I did I took it to Auto Tech in its later years for all types of service. Reliable, reasonable prices. I recommend this place to my friends who drive Asian cars. read more

Best place for honest service on older cars.

I've been taking my car to Auto Tech for years, and always had excellent communications and work done by them. I'm a female and I have never been talked down to or feel like I got ripped off because of my gender. I no longer work in Tyson's corner, but still call for advice occasionally, and when I sense an auto issue is more then standard maintance I endure the effort of getting my car back to them from Ashburn. read more

Very pleased that I chose Auto Tech for a major service interval. Their honest recommendations saved me over $3000 from what the dealer's shop recommended during a 'courtesy inspection'. Thanks! read more

I've been bringing my cars here for over 25 years -- no challenge has been to big! They are responsive, caring, do great work and are nice people. The few times they could not do the repair (transmissions and drive train repairs) their recommendations were quality. Ralph and his team are honest, do the work your car needs, and give good advice when it's clearly time to stop repairing and buy the next one. The best repair shop read more
