Jim and Chris has been very helpful with getting me scheduled with oil change services for my Audi Q3 and they have followed up to ensure that their services has met my expectations and that my vehicle is working properly after they have serviced it. Their prices are very respectable for the type of maintenance and customer service they provide and it might be a bit more expensive than other places I've inquired with, but through conversations with them and actual experience compared to other places I've been to, I most definitely trust their services more. Highly recommended especially if you value the maintenance your car goes through. read more

I try to do all auto repairs myself, but the few times I've been unable to get something done, Coho has done a fantastic job, and at what I would consider to be a great value. Communication from the front desk, whether text (preferred) or over the phone is always top-notch. read more

Update to my horrible experience with CoHo Automotive: Everything happens for a reason, including the treatment that my family and I received from CoHo Automotive. The owners, Chris Coulter and Dan Howell, may have gotten away with their egregious behavior and lack of goodwill, but only for a short period of time. I have run into multiple people who have used this shop and they attest that they will never do business with them again. Also: Chris Coulter contacted his attorney, I guess to place fear in my court so that I would remain silent. The best offense is being defensive. To date: I have not been able to sell my car for the Kelley Blue Book Value because of the neglect of quality control and assurance of Coho Automotive and Karen Radley Volkswagen. read more

These guys are top of the line. I have been going to them for a few years and have appreciated their tremendous knowledge, transparency and care. Very honest hard working business with low pricing that saves me a great deal of money vs. other options. A GEM IN THE CROWN OF THE COMMUNITY and beyond.. well worth the trip. read more

I'm very disappointed with Coho. I have been a good customer and gave them an excellent review in the past. I took my vehicle in for a problem. Upon taking it to their shop I had a horn. Upon leaving I did not. When my vehicle was ready, Cody called and said I have good news and bad news. The bad m ews was zi no longer had a horn. That could be fixed for an additional $1000+. The work they just performed was already $1000+. I have now found out the reason I no longer had a horn was caused by Coho. I reached out to them to inform them about this issue. They asked me to bring it in, I did so. They would not take responsibility, but offered to repair it for half price. I declined. It was their error, why should I pay anything. This is the 2nd time to question their integrity. A couple of months ago the headlight in vehicle went out. I called the shop, they gave me an appointment for the next day. Upon arriving, I was told they didn't have anyone available to look at it and then I received another appointment for the next day. Chris said the housing probably needed to be replaced. He called the dealership and told me that would be $1000+. I didn't feel quite right about that. I drove to another shop my neighbor uses. They replaced the bulb, replacing the housing never came up. Now I truly feel Coho has taken advantage of me as a senior and a female. I will never use them again. read more

This is a reliable Automotive shop that I have been going to for years. I was just getting their contact information as it's time for some maintenance and my cars A/C isn't working, realized I never left a review of their excellent service. If you're in the area and looking for a capable and trustworthy place for your maintenance and repairs, this is it. Coho has done my routine car maintenance and repairs with no issues several times. If you have a lot of work that they recommend get done, they help you prioritize by severity and don't pressure you on the non-critical. Let's face it, we aren't always in a situation to fix everything on our cars, it can cost a lot. It's great that they appreciate that and help you get what's critical done, so you're driving safe. Thanks Coho! read more

Have been using COHO for service and repairs. Always straight forward and upfront. Great service and I would recommend them without hesitation. read more

Went in for a state inspection. Was rejected and subsequently told by the front desk clerk that it was due to having tinted film on the headlights. Attempted to explain to him that the housing is black, and that the film is a clear PPF. His rebuttal was that he's seen Teslas before with white headlights. He then told me that I had leave, remove the film, come back another time, and pay an additional $20 to have it reinspected. I left, called the place again, spoke to the inspector, and attempted to explain to him the situation. I also told him that my vehicle came with black headlights, and can be easily looked up on the official Tesla website. He told me that Virginia Code does not allow film on the headlights, and will not pass my inspection. I looked up the Virginia code afterwards, which is 19VAC30-70-510, pg 153. And it states there is an exception for clear impact film. Decided this wasn't a trustworthy nor a competent shop, and went to a different one in town. After explaining the situation to the new place. The second shop pulled out their light box and showed me that my headlights had no tint, and should've passed. Then, the second shop performed a full inspection, and passed my vehicle. Also while reading the Virginia State Police MVS inspection manual. I found out that having a car reinspected at the same shop is suppose to cost $1, not another $20 like the front desk clerk stated. I would not recommend this place base on the incompetence and ignorance of the staff. read more

Have been coming to Coho for several years. Always very courteous and professional. Highly recommend.

DO NOT RECOMMEND WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU We took our 2015 chevy here to have an emergency fix and it cost us $450. About 6-7 months later (3k miles) which isn't a lot of miles in 6-7 months, same problem arises. According to them it was something else that broke after they had fixed it the first time so it doesn't fall under the warranty they provide and now it's going to cost us $1,000 to have it fixed but we're taking our business elsewhere now. Expensive and doesn't fix the problems read more

I've built up a healthy distrust in automotive shops over the years through vicarious experiences and my own, but CoHo has completely won me over. I'd give them 6 stars if I could. Originally I was going in to replace (mount and balance) 2 rear tires + 4 wheel alignment. Through their tool, they noted that the cords were showing, but what's more they followed up through text to see how I wanted to proceed, with no hint of a tire sales pitch! The were flexible with me leaving my car overnight as the last minute front tires arrived the next day. Their online/digital presence is very informative. This is where I am taking my Z from now on. read more

Coho Automotive - Old, bald tires - Auto Repair Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

See all

In this day in age of people ripping you off. I didn't feel that way with these guys. They were very professional, sent me an estimate via text and even followed up after the repairs. Only thing I would change is they don't have the ability to schedule an appointment online but I've had bad experiences with other repair shops over booking and not being able to do the repairs so this may be why they don't schedule appointments online. Give them a call and receive great service. read more

Like others here have stated, I hate going to the Death Star - dealership. I have been searching for an independent shop for two years near Gainesville since moving back to VA. Its harder than finding your favorite Thai place on Yelp! When my 2011 VW Sportwagen mysteriously stalled while going down the road, I was desperate and called a friend who immediately told me to call Coho. The next day, Chris called me and said that he wanted me to call VW and see if the repair (hi pressure diesel fuel injector pump) would be covered since the car was only 2k+ over the 36k warranty. I was amazed that he felt it was more important for me to see if VW would pay for the repair instead of me paying Coho to fix it. I was delighted that VW would cover the repair under the powertrain warranty - which I have never had to use before! That speaks loads of Coho's integrity. Dan said he would not sleep well if they had made the repair and I would have found out later that the $1500 repair would have been covered by the factory. The shop is very clean, nice waiting area with TV, wifi, and the techs are very approachable. I would definitely recommend Coho to others. read more

I found them here on Yelp when the coolant system in my 2003 Audi A4 1.8T decided to unceremoniously overheat and void its bowels. NIGHT DROP BOX?: Yes. Envelopes and forms by the front door. SERVICE: They were professional, clean, approachable, friendly, ASE Certified, promptly responded to all my questions and gave me multiple itemized repair options to choose from, rather than just doing everything without asking. They fixed the whole thing in one business day. Phenomenal. PRICE: Very very fair. Itemized invoices. Multiple options offered depending on your budget. They work quick and don't milk the labor hours. Honest operation. LOCATION/STOREFRONT: Fully equipped, but small and clean, in what is more of an office park than an industrial park. Because of their motorsports work, they have some cool track cars to ogle through the big storefront windows. OVERALL: This is where I'll be taking my car from now on. read more

Customer service was ok but the prices are to high especially for a 5 min job , Jim the adviser wanted to charge me close to $400 on a $40 part and 5 mins of work which I did myself. These people are a rip off I would not recommend anybody to use this place , they will try to get you by ripping you off. read more

All the reviews you read about CoHo are true. I recently purchased a pre-owned Audi in Arlington and don't really care to drive there to get it serviced. The solution: CoHo...they are local, they are all about quality, service and value. I have a co-worker named Jim who purchased a pre-owned Audi A4. He's a mechanic himself and takes his A4 here to get it serviced and gives them a thumbs up. That was enough for me. I took it in today to have the oil change and they put it through the diagnostics and check up. Check them out; you won't be disappointed. They will maintain all your service records in their database as well. read more

I called on the morning of 12/31/20 because I had a nail in my car's tire. They were able to get me in right away and upon inspection found the nail was not deep enough to cause a leak. Everyone is so kind and friendly and above all HONEST! They did not charge me for anything even though their tech took the wheel and tire off to diagnose the issue. That is quality service and hard to find. CoHo is my place to go for all my car service needs. You have earned my respect and business. Thank you! read more

Outstanding customer service. Outstanding technicians. COHO finds the problems and gets them fixed. They do what they say they will do for the price quoted. I brought my Z3M into them with a cracked head and scored cams. They took care of every detail from diagnosis to road testing, kept me up to date, were always available and informed, and went to great lengths sourcing hard to find parts and machining. They have a passion for cars and their customers. Thanks. read more

Very friendly customer service for example I heard one of the employees talk about how the engine works with a customer for 15 mins. As to the reason for the 3 Star review I was estimated to have 2,400$ of work needed for my car. Looking online or even with other mechanics I found parts to be over 600$ cheaper. I would advise bringing in your own parts. read more

Coho Automotive has THE BEST customer service of any garage that I've been to. They are FAIR! I took my car in for new brakes and rotors and they really took care of me. They inspected my car and provided me with pics and details of any problem areas that they found. There's a trust factor with coho that you just don't get at many other places. I actually ended up getting additional work done because of the trust they've earned with me. I trusted that they would treat my car with care, because they truly care about the customer. My car is running super smooth, I have no complaints, and coho has a new customer! read more

Definitely recommend this location. Clean facility and great price for repairing my malfunctioning left tail light on my BMW.

This is not just an auto shop, this shop is family. Honest, up front, solid mechanics, great people. It is hard to find this caliber of service. There is no other choice when you are treated like family. read more

I recently (April'21) had to address an emissions problem light on my dashboard. My initial thought was a bad sensor that needed to be replaced. So I took my 2015 Acura MDX to COHO for evaluation/repair. From their testing COHO was quickly able to identify not only a bad sensor, but also confirmed a bad catalytic convertor. Instead of COHO pushing to conduct the repairs/replacement themselves, they indicated that the catalytic converter was still covered under the emissions system warranty. COHO indicated that if I would take my SUV to the Acura dealership, I could easily save approximately $1,500 via the existing warranty, rather than incur the full repair cost if COHO did the work. Needless to say it was an easy decision to take my vehicle to the Acura dealership. NOTE: The ACURA dealership was going to charge me ~$1600 for the repairs, until I brought up the emissions warranty coverage... (OH, YOU'RE RIGHT... THE VEHICLE EMSSION SYSTEM IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY). Warranty repairs were completed after 3 days in ACURA shop (lack of parts?). It always a breath of fresh air for COHO to continue to provide customer-oriented and honest options/recommendations/servicing. COHO has and will continue to be my #1 go-to automotive technician. I've spread the word to both family and friends! FINAL NOTE: COHO has satisfactorily serviced my previous vehicles (Lexus GS400'00, Porsche Boxster S'01, Acura MDX'02 and '15). When necessary, I'll be taking my 2015 BMW 435IX once the extended CPO warranty expires. read more

From the initial phone call I knew this place had great customer service. I was able to book my oil change first thing in the morning after my initial phone call. When I arrive to drop off my car they were following the Covid requirements so I felt safe. They kept themselves safe as well. The receptionist was very knowledgeable and polite. I have a 2013 Highlander and oil change it was $107. That seemed really steep to me but it's what it was. read more

One of my good buddies told me about this shop. Quality all around and 5 stars. I've been to a lot of different shops and the customer service, quality of work, timeframe of services is superior! Cody, Chris & Jimmy solid fellas! read more

Recently, we moved from California to Manassas Park Virginia. In order to register our vehicles we had to have a state inspection so I took my car to Coho Automotive for the inspection. They did the inspection, got back with me on the work that needed to be done in order to pass the inspection and then providing excellent service in preparing my car to pass the state inspection. The staff were professional an easy to work with. The prices were fair and competitive. I will bring my car back to Coho Automotive for all my future car names. read more

I've got a BMW M3 and I refuse to take my car to a dealership. In fact I generally do my own work unless I just don't have the tools to do the job. In the past I've always gone to RRT in Sterling but recently found Coho conveniently located just a few miles from my house. I called Coho on short notice on day I had off work, hoping to be able to get a troublesome bolt under the exhaust manifold replaced. Chris was able to get me in an out within hours. To my delight, the shop was immaculate and both Chris and technician Dan were extremely knowledgable. They have an open and clean lobby with new chairs and a television for those who want to wait. Chris and I talked about cars and our history on the track. I felt comfortable leaving my car in their hands and I won't hesitate to bring my car back. read more

These guys are the real thing. I trust them with my car. Even something simple as a tire light, they gave me a straight to the point diagnosis. Been there 3 times, dry rot is hard to detect but we figured it out!!! read more

Let me start off with the positives. I called them earlier in the day and spoke with Jim, he was very professional, kind, and understanding of my needs. I called to get a simple job done, I just needed some tires dismounted from my rims, and i did not want the rims damaged at all since they were brand new. Jim ensured that the wheels would not be damaged and I could even stand and watch while they did the job, amazing I thought, this is perfect! So i took off during lunch (work day mind you), get to the shop 20 min later and notice that its very clean, spacious, the whole team was kind, I was offered a drink, just overall pleasant. Other shops wanted to charge $100, or $80 for this, Coho was going to charge $60 and said it wouldnt take too long. I get there and they notice the tires are runflats, which I didnt believe would have made a difference, but I now know that they do. Jim mentioned that runflats take longer to dismount and that the charge will actually be $110, just to dismount the tires from the wheels. Mind you, I was NOT getting the wheels and tires mounted and balanced, just dismounted. I was shocked. I decided to pass and call up Mach V, which has a touchless tire machine and charges $50 for 4 wheels to dismount. I've read good reviews, and my friends had positive experiences with this shop, but i left with a bad taste in my mouth. They did not honor their original $60 price quote and I left dissatisfied. All in all, they seemed like good, trustworthy and kind individuals who do good work, but given the amount of shops in the area, it is unlikely that i will return back here. read more

Updating original post: Am I completely satisfied? No, but I talked to the owner, and he is taking responsibility for the lack of service received. Long story short: take pride in your vehicles and verify everything. read more

I live in silver spring md. I will drive out to Manassas to have service done on my vehicles. COHO auto is great. They have serviced my vehicle twice, they did same service performed by others at half the price. I sold my old 2004 f150 for 2x what I thought I would get. My bill was $55 to fix a minor problem,that is honesty read more

Although the news was bad ($2,000 for a new compressor and other issues), the service was awesome. They had a garage full of cars, and they still managed to squeeze me in on my day off. I was able to leave the car while they looked at it, but the waiting room looked very comfortable. This was the first time in my life I left a repair shop not thinking I had been ripped off. The people offered me some good advice, and offered to be a resource if I ever had questions. There is nothing more valuable than having the name of a good car guy. No matter where you go now, this place is better. read more

Easily one of the easiest reviews I've ever had the pleasure to write...simply put...these guys are AWESOME. I called them up with a engine coolant leak, and they got me in right away, found the problem, fixed the problem. Which uncovered another problem, which they took care of ASAP, and didn't charge me labor. I will be glad to spend more money with them. The other part of this review is about the owners themselves. They CARE about the customer, after listening to a voicemail one of the owner's left me, I walked around my office talking about how this is customer service DONE RIGHT. Excellent business men, and excellent business model. Thanks for being such a pleasure to work with. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to take the time to explain the work that you need done. Pricing is average for a place like this.

I'm new to the area and found this place with the help of fellow Yelper's "thanks everybody". I can't compare them to any other local shop because this is the only one I need. They do it all, technical, customer service, communication, and follow up. I was making a long highway drive in a week and wanted an oil change. I went into the showroom the intent of telling them Oil Change!, nothing else..! They did the cursory XX Point Inspection and found some things, legit things that I wouldn't want to be in the road with. They listed them all and prioritized them and left it to me what I wanted done. I did most it and was glad I did, and the quality of the work and the right amount of communication were perfect. By the way, the repair bay looks like an operating room and everyone is friendly and genuinely concerned with your experience. This is a great shop and I would drive a hundred miles for service here. There are 2 people I expect absolute trust in, a Doctor and a mechanic, these guys have their own hippocratic oath. Stop in and check out the place, and you'll become a customer, I promise. read more

I went to another mechanic in Manassas, and they told me the problem with my Cadillac is the transmission. I really doubt that he ever checked out, and I decided to get a second opinion. Luckily looking at the reviews of Coho automotive I found their website based upon their fantastic reviews. I talked to the service guy in the city to check out my front-end problem on my Cadillac and get back to me in a day or two. Well, the next day they called and had done an extensive amount of research about the problem of my Cadillac and said that this is an inherent problem for my year of my Cadillac. I'm not a mechanic they could've charged me who knows what. But the story is they found that there is no problem with my car charging about $40, and said there's nothing to worry about. I think God for this great mechanic and Coho automotive. Very honest people, so many mechanics want to rip you off, I can't say enough good words about this company and I will be using them for many years. If you live in Manassas in surrounding areas I cannot recommend more highly than the professionalism that this company provided me. Lotta scam artists out there, but these mechanics are the real deal. My advice, and approach You should take is to take your vehicle to this company and treat you like family. read more

Excellent overall experience with CoHo Automotive. I have been looking for a reputable independent shop to service my Porsche 911 and went there due to the positive reviews. They went right to work after my arrival and the service was completed in a very timely manner. Their facility is very clean and customer friendly. Chris even followed up the next day to make sure all was well. I highly recommend CoHo Automotive and look forward to future business with them. read more

Amazing, friendly, informative service. Not only was the service great, they invited me to come back for other solutions (I had a tire replaced because Lord knows what object from hell was on Route 6 at 5am) if my tires experienced any vibrating because my rim took a hit. It's also the little things too, Jim showed me where the #2 room was located along with snacks and on the house coffee. Terry (the technician and best slap of the bass mon) performed great, snappy service on the tire. The gentlemen work very as a team and together, they informed me that VDOT may reimburse you for debris left on highways that may damage your vehicle. Didn't know that! I will be returning to this service center! absolutely read more

I too selected COHO based on Yelp reviews and have been relying on them for all my automotive servicing needs for the past year. COHO has been nothing but professional, reliable, and honest.
