Taylor and Geoff are fantastic. I've been a Porsche owner for 17 years, recently, discovered them. It is a bit of a trek for me. They are out in Sterling. However, the silver line is very convenient if you live closer to DC just take the silver line to innovation station and it's a $10 Uber ride. Taylor Chapman is well known in the Porsche circles. He has decades of experience. Their specialty seems to be air cooled Porsches, but also water cooled through the 997 and they are adapting beyond the 997 as well. More importantly, you will get honest and good service. And the rates are also reasonable . Most dealerships in our area charge 230-250 per hour mostly to cover their overhead with their fancy shops. This place is much cheaper and they mean business. I wish I had discovered them earlier. read more

I purchased, site unseen, a 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera from Florida. I am, by no stretch of the imagination, an auto mechanic. I am pretty good with old German motorcycles, but not a Porsche. Years ago, I did own a 911S Targa. I received the car just about a week ago and my first order of business was to find a reputable shop that could maintain the car without having me take second note on my home. After a lot of online research and through numerous recommendations for the local Porsche Club I decided to go to Chapman. I asked them to take care of the inspection, emission, and change the oil. Also, requested them to "check" out the car for any known issues. Today, I picked up the car and it had the inspection sticker and had passed the emissions test. Also had the oil changed. There were a few known items that needed to be addressed, but nothing major that required immediate attention. The level of attention and concern they had for my vehicle was second to none. I have two newer Mercedes that I "always" have the dealer service. I always get superior quality service and attention from them. Chapman exceeded every expectation that I had. I am so pleased with the level of service and commitment they have towards their craft. I can absolutely assure you that they will be my "go to" shop for any and all future service needs. Thank you PCA for your recommendation! read more

Chapman Auto Werks - In great hands at Auto Werks - Auto Repair Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I took my 2006 911(997) to Chapman Auto Werks for a long overdue service. The car I got back was like it was new again. Everything they did was explained to me, every expense was detailed first and I could not be more pleased. There is other work that they could have said was necessary, but they did not. I get the impression that they are honest and do great work. Owning a Porsche is not always cheap, but it is nice to know that there are Porsche guys out there that, not only know Porsche vehicles, but are not going to rip you off. If you have a Porsche, this is where you should take it for service and repair. read more

Best place I've ever taken my car. They were able to fix a problem no one else could. Recently tried a closer shop to where I live and ended up bringing it to Taylor at Chapman. I trust them and I won't take a Porsche anywhere else. Honest and dependable. They listen when you describe a problem. They fix things quickly. I don't feel robbed like I have at other places. Fair pricing. Can't say enough good things about them. Feel very grateful to have found a good shop. There aren't many out there, in my opinion. read more

I own an 02 Boxster. Several months ago, my engine imploded. I took it to another shop, thinking the problem was electrical. When they found no compression on one cylinder he recommended Taylor and his shop. I immediately had it towed there. When it got there, I called to check on it. Andrew told me it was there, but they're a busy shop with a 2 week wait. I understood and waited the 2 weeks. Sure enough, after 2 weeks Andrew called me. It needed an engine. He wrote me up an estimate. While it was a lot of money, it was consistent with the work that needed to be done. I put down a deposit, and an engine was ordered. It took several weeks for the engine to arrive, but that was out of their control. M96 engines come from a 3rd party vendor. I got an email from Andrew once the engine arrived. About 2 weeks later I stopped by to check up on the car. Spoke with Taylor for about an hour. Very nice guy. At that point the car was done, but he wanted to drive it some and make sure everything was good to go. He had done a few extra things to it that weren't part of the original estimate. A few days later I picked the car up. It's like a different car. Drives much better. They had done some extra things that weren't on the estimate. He only charged me what he had quoted me originally. I am thrilled with how it runs and drives, as well as the extra things he did to make it reliable. Thank you Andrew and Taylor. read more

See all

Don't ever bring your car here. They told me I needed to rebuild my trans when it only needed and axle joint. I ended up selling the car when I could have fixed it for a few hundred. They charged me a lot of money, never fixed the problem and never made it right. I still do not have another car as I thought my car needed a trans and sold it for a lot less than it was worth after putting thousands into it at Chapman auto were. They are either incompetent or trying to rip me off read more

So as a 40 year bday gift to myself My wifevallowed me to buy a Porsche 993 sight unseen from a terrible Porsche dealer in Texas. Porsche came over and it turned out that I bought a money pit--the car needed an engine rebuild. Took the car to Chapman Auto Werks and Taylor and Andrew did a full rebuild of the engine. During the process, they would walk me through the various steps of what was being done to the car, and educated me as they were making repairs. It took a while, but when finished, their work was impeccable. I've been driving the rebuild for the past year, and to be honest, the car brings a smile to my face every time I get into it and startup the engine. And if it weren't for Taylor and Andrew, I'd just have the shell of a 993 body sitting in my garage. Chapman Auto Werks is the best, and I highly recommend them for service on your Porsche. read more

I have 2 Porsche 993s and this is where I bring them to have work done. They do a great job and the cost is fair. Sometimes they get backed up and there is a wait but what do you expect from a great Porsche shop? If you have an air cooled Porsche there is no better place in the Greater Washington DC area to have it fixed. read more

This is the best repair shop I've used in Virginia. I own a 99 Boxster and previously owned old Alfa's and MGBs, so I've had plenty of experience with repair shops and working on my own cars. I can't say enough good things about Chapman Auto. The entire staff is extremely competent and friendly. Even my wife likes to hang out and chat with the owner and staff. In my experience they are much more knowledgeable that Tyson's Porsche dealership and far less expensive. I'm very particular about repair shops and I don't hesitate a moment to recommend Chapman Auto Werks. read more
