I have been a customer of Autotech since the final years of their time in Admo. These guys are the most honest, genuine, and reliable auto techs I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I had an old ass '97 Volvo that they would do minor repairs on with low to no charge, and when it finally came time for Vlad the Volvo to kick the dust did Autotech try to convince me to spend thousands to fix him? No, they told me the brutal truth: it's time to let Vlad go. Now I have Gloria, a 2011 RAV4-went to an auto shop in my hood thinking that's easier right? Wrong! He wanted $3500 for a number of things that made me scared to even drive ("your breaks are about to give out"). I then decided to seek the truth and go to Autotech and guess what? Honesty and reliability till the end. I am headed to California but if I'm ever back in DC you can be damn sure to find me at Autotech. read more

I'll never take my car anywhere else! These guys are my go-to regularly, and I was glad to see how busy they were during the holidays. I called ahead to see if they could squeeze me in for an oil change and they were kind enough to make it work. They are always the most honest and never try to rip you off. Highly recommend! Support local business! read more

Auto Tech Service - Spacious seating area - even with covid it felt like everyone could be spread out - Auto Repair Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

They got my car in and out for an oil change and tire rotation super quickly! I also loved that they didn't try to work on my car without calling me first, and they didn't try to upsell me or get me to pay for something unnecessary. They do solid work and do free comprehensive checks, unlike the other independent shops I've been to. This is where I'll be going for all future maintenance! read more

Honest, trustworthy, and reliable shop with fast turnaround and no upselling. I was having battery issues and most shops (incl the dealership) instantly jumped to the conclusion that the battery needed to be replaced. These folks hooked up the battery to the reader and measured output, showed me the results, and concluded that the battery was weak. They asked how old the battery was in case there was an outstanding warranty that I could claim. Only then did they offer to install a new battery. And their labor charges are about half of what other shops charge. I will be going back for all my automotive needs. read more

Great friendly service. Knowledgeable techs, high quality work. Trustworthy and honest, highly recommended.

Every time I go here the techs are patient with me addressing my concerns. And honest as to what the problem is. I handed them a litany of issues with my 2004 CRV from a dealership service department. Their pricing was less than a third. And everything the dealership service recommended was not needed. Their prices are fair and reasonable. They are a life saver! read more

Autotech always gets recommended on our neighborhood mailing list when someone asks for a good mechanic in the area. I've been using them for a little over a year and have found them to be honest and reliable. Good people there. I am always happy to recommend them. While it seems as though no car repair is cheap nowadays, they are reasonable in my experience. I can count on them to do the job right the first time and I'm very glad they are here! read more

After thousands of miles of valiant service driving across the country from San Francisco to DC, my car would not start. First, I took it to another shop. They could not figure out the problem and instead gave me a list of over $10,000 of repairs-- none of which were related to the actual problem. So, I towed it to Auto Tech Service. Within a few hours they figured out the problem, provided a very reasonable quote, performed the work, and did not try to upsell. It is a good business run by people who know what they are doing. When you see a five star mechanic on yelp, you should go there. read more

The service at this auto body shop was impeccable. I came here recently to get an oil change and they got me in and out in about 5 mins. The price was reasonable and they were very friendly. Their mechanics informed me of certain problems in and around my car but, never rushed me or pushed me to get those things.They also checked for other things wrong with the car, like my brakes, I'll go there in the future to fix them, but they were able to make me feel at home, and the professionalism was off the charts. If you need a great place to get your car fixed, this is the place to use. They are the best in the city! read more

See all

I came here for the first time and would come back. I had a 60,000 mile service and brakes replaced. I asked multiple locations and this seemed to have a good deal. The cost ended up being less than they quoted me, and I was able to drop off late Saturday morning and pick up Tuesday but I could have on Monday read more

I absolutely would not take my car anywhere else! To find an honest, personable and humble mechanic is such a difficult thing and I found AutoTech. They will give you an honest evaluation and an honest price every time. And when they do the work, they do it well. Five stars! read more

The guys here are honest and do not upsell you or rip you off. They are also quick and provide timely updates. I will keep going here.

I cannot even begin to fully articulate how amazing these young men are! They are honest, fair, and fast! I was quoted $3600 to fix an issue in my Jeep at the dealership. Miguel and this team repaired my Jeep for less than $500. Incredible is an understatement. Turns out the issue was fixed without the extensive repair that I was told at the dealership OF COURSE. It feels so refreshing in this sometimes cruel world to have a great, honest, kind and fair mechanic team! AMAZINGGGGGGGG. Thank you, Miguel! You have a customer for life in ME! read more

Best shop in DC. They are dependable, quick, reasonable, and most of all trustworthy.

I have an older Toyota and Auto Tech Service has become my go-to spot for helping me keep it alive and well. They are always super easy to work with and honest. Repairs are quick and straightforward. I've gone several times, for a complex electrical issue and for simple repairs like a broken window and new sun visors. They don't upsell anything. read more

Had an engine issue, took my car on a Friday afternoon and got it back early Saturday. Super quick service, they let me know what was wrong with the car and let me know that it's easy to fix myself should it happen again. They told me how much the parts were and how much they were charging for labor. Good price with a great turnaround time. read more

4.5 for a really solid auto shop. I'd been having a few problems with my car lately, so I started looking for a mechanic. While I don't generally think of Yelp as a place to look for those type of services, Auto Tech Service came overwhelmingly recommended. While it was a little far from me (located over in Ivy City off Mount Olivet Road), the reviews and need to get my car handled quick and for a good price pushed me to check them out. I arrived at the venue around 8:15 on a Wednesday. While I read something about doing appointments, other reviews mentioned a first come/first-serve approach, so I made sure to get there early. Boy am I glad they did. I think the word has gotten out because this place was already starting to get busy. I went inside the small little office, told the gentleman what was going on with my car and he took my keys and told me he'd give me a call when they had more information. I then jumped on a nearby bus and headed off. I got a call a couple hours later detailing the issues and giving me quotes that were wayyy less than I had heard when I had called around to a couple other mechanics. I'm talking a fraction less in that I think the part was sold almost for cost and the hourly mechanic rate was like what I would get back when I was a teenager in Missouri. He then told me about another issue that wasn't causing an issue and would cost quite a bit to fix, but recommended not worrying about it unless I really wanted to fix it. Talk about a completely different approach than any other mechanic that normally tries to upsell! While I do wish they did a little bit more trying to sell me on services (I could have been convinced to get an oil change), I was super happy with the chance to get the main work done so quickly and for such a good price. Overall, Auto Tech Service is a solid auto shop. The good prices and timing combined with service that isn't just trying to make a sale makes this somewhere definitely worth checking out if you need to get a repair done. read more

This is an awesome find and my go to for all my car's needs! I called with a problem and someone talked me through what I would need to do. I tried on my own and couldn't quite get it. I ended up coming to the shop, and someone helped me fix the problem and reset my check engine light. For free! Truly knowledgeable and excellent service here. read more

First time customer who needed an oil change and break assessment. Got a few quotes around the city but they were either ridiculously expensive, or had bad reviews online. This is a family-run, trustworthy spot who takes care of you as quickly as they can for a reasonable price. I called in around 9pm asking when was best to bring my car in, brought it in a few hours later, and they got me in and out within 1.5hrs as a walk-in (their time estimate was accurate which I appreciated). They're amazing! Finally found my go-to car place in DC! PS: If you have an ivy city planet fitness membership, it's a 10 or 15min walk to the gym. read more

First time customer and will definitely come back! Dropped my car off in the morning, had issues with my AC, was greeted by Luis, he called me with an update shortly after and my car was ready to pick up. He checked a few other items on my car to make sure everything was safe to drive - didn't upsell me on anything else. The overall service, communication, efficiency, and transparency is exactly what I want in an auto repair shop - I'll be coming back for sure to support this business!! Highly recommend. read more

My first time coming here today after reading the reviews and everything I read was spot on: - they were polite - they didn't try to upsale you If nothing additional was needed for your vehicle - very inexpensive - and quick (I was the first customer in line when they opened) I will continue bringing my vehicle here and will tell all of my family and friends! read more

The most trusted place in DC for any car needs. They are extremely responsive and really do care about all of their clients. I have had a lot of issues with an old car and everyone I have encountered is extremely helpful and honest about their assessment of the issues. I highly suggest Auto Tech Service to everyone read more

Just had four new brakes (rotors and pads) installed on my car here and they did a great job. I called the day before around 11am and they let me know they were busy and it is best to come right when they open, which I found helpful. I arrived exactly at opening - the work would take most of the day and they offered to give me a ride to the metro which I though was a really nice feature. They called with a straightforward quote around 10:30 and the prices were right in line with what I expected to pay. I also had them do an oil change and replace a small issue with my headlamp and everything is working perfectly. Six stars for Miguel - after picking up my car (the key was in the ignition, already running) after driving a bit I noticed the separate fob was not attached. I was in the middle of traffic on a Friday in a massive rainstorm, and I looked on the floor and it wasn't there. I called Miguel and he said he would look for it, but I ended up just driving back to the shop. He looked extensively, said he couldn't find it but that he would have a new one made for me by Monday. He even made the call to order it. I was still pretty stressed - with the key I can lock but not alarm my car so he went to go look one more time. Lo and behold, Miguel found the fob under the floor mat of my car. Thanks Miguel for going above and beyond in terms of customer service, especially when your customers are a little, um, estupido. read more

I will always come here for my car issues! They are fast, efficient, fair, and professional. The best!

I can't say enough good things about this business. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable, they're honest about fixing what's wrong with your car, and their pricing is fair. As a woman, it's often a hassle dealing with auto shops but they just treat everyone like a valued customer and get the job done. read more

Incredible service from beginning to end. I got an oil change and was in and out in 30 minutes. I also have a list of recommended repairs given at the dealership. They advised against them and said they were not necessary at this time. I appreciate the honesty and will be back to this business. read more

Reliable, affordable, and friendly. Everything Martha W said is true. Yup. I'm this lazy. What she said. PS: I take my 14 year old Subaru here to freshen up the duct tape that holds it together. read more

They worked on my brakes and rotors. It was a great job! Luis gave me a reasonable rate and was really kind the whole time. Honest people doing honest work! read more

They are very corteous and service efficient. I was asked to bring the car at a certain and they were expecting ne. They called me to check with me regarding other repairs. They were wonderful! read more

Love this shop! Great auto service, great costumer service, old school competence. Happy customer for 4 years.

We were just a few hundred miles on the road with several hundred miles ahead of us when we experienced brake issues. I called around from our hotel & Auto Tech Service was the only place that told me they would look at my car right away which they did. We were able to complete our journey safely read more

I came here after a bad experience with a Toyota dealership - and it was as great as the reviews said it would be! USEFUL TIP: This is a small place (it's in Adams Morgan!) and there's no dedicated parking lot - they told me just to park in the driveway right next to their garage and they moved the car for me. So I'd try that or if you can see any open street spaces. Also - judging from other reviews, I would try to get there right at 8am (if you're doing a morning run) as this place can be popular. They explained my car's issues and gave me great service - I highly recommend! read more

My car was acting up and I didn't know what was wrong and making a loud sound. I took it to Auto Tech and Luis saw me right away. He was so cool and awesome. It ended up not being a big problem at all. He fixed it on the spot. annnd he didn't charge me! ANY OTHER SHOP would have charged me at least the first hour labor rate even if it took them 10 min. These guys are awesome! Its a small small shop ... just a garage and an old sign. but they seem to really know what they are doing and are real genuine guys! I didnt even have a yelp account before this. I made one just so I could give these guys a review. read more

Auto Tech Service - Best Auto Shop ever! It's a small place with little marketing ... but dont let that fool you ... these guys rock! - Auto Repair Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great, quick, reliable and honest service. Always good to call ahead to know how their schedule is so you know if they can get to you same day or not. Been there a few times already and always leave satisfied. read more

These guys serviced my car for the entire 14 years I have been in D.C. They are fantastic and reliable. They do a great job of telling you when you may have upcoming maintenance, but that does not necessarily need to be done that day (i.e. your brake pads have about 10% left, you'll probably need to replace them next time). I highly recommend this shop. read more

They moved locations! This is their new address. 1236 Mount Olivet Rd NE Unit B Washington, DC 20002 I will definitely continue to be a loyal customer! read more

Great mechanic. Efficient is a good word for their service. Reasonable prices. Good communication. Same day service. They've taken care of my brakes, done several oil changes, etc. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing service! Fast, thorough, and incredibly reasonable. Went in because the break check light on our Prius was on. They ran a diagnostic, reset the codes and disinfected the car within ten minutes, free of charge. Will be returning here for all maintenance needs and a full tune up. read more

I've had my best auto repair experiences ever at Auto Tech Services over the past 2 years. They are helpful, thorough, honest, reasonable, and fast. It's hard to find a car repair shop you can trust and they've gained my trust and confidence. Highly recommended. read more

I had my car towed here on Christmas Eve after it broke down. These guys took my car in right away, quickly figured out that I needed a new alternator, and fixed it that very day. Everyone was so kind and it was so easy to get my car fixed here. Would definitely use their services again!! read more
