I'm usually a guy who likes to do his own repairs on a car and decently know my way around a vehicle. There are times though that work, time, or knowledge prevents me from doing this. I was very hesitant about reaching out to DJ's the first time since I didn't know of a mechanic I could trust (this was over a year ago). I did some research and decided I would give them a try. Ever since then, the shop has been amazing and stuff I used to do to save money I now just let them do since they are so reasonable and honest. I've had them do multiple oil changes (I supply my own preferred oil and filter) and the cost is definitely me worth not getting dirty and messing up my driveway. I've also had an o2 sensor changed that I tried to do myself, but stripped out the bolt (they corrected my mistake in about 30 minutes and didn't even criticize me for screwing up the bolt), had a rear wheel bearing replaced, and had my front brakes redone. They have even gone as far to look at my car when I hear something going on; and give free honest advice on whether or not it needs immediate attention or not. The mechanics are skilled, fast, and do quality work and the owner is friendly, honest, and adorable (on parts and labor). I actually cross referenced him to my best friend who is a mechanic in another state (Texas) and he said his shop in Texas would charge nearly double the price that DJs quoted! I recommend DJ's to all of my friends and go to him for all of my car needs and highly recommend you do too! read more

I came here to the my oil change an alignment and I paid 200 dollars I ask for my Receipt then she raise the price on me because I ask for my receipts I will not be coming back here again read more

I brought my car in to fix my front right suspension and bumper did not take long to get my car back to me I am more then happy with the results. The best mechanic shop in the area cannot complain made my car look newer then what it looked like before. Recommend for anyone! read more

My mom had her car towed here by AAA. She had had other car work done here and trusted the mechanics. Jose took very good care of her. The AAA guy diagnosed the starter as the problem but it turned out to be the battery. Jose replaced the battery and had us on our way within 30 minutes. Customer service was on point. It's important to have a mechanic that is trustworthy and returns your car back to you in a timely manner. Jose is cool with us and we will be back. read more

Great service, great workers! Place was busy but I was able to get my car back the same day and it runs great.

I've been going to DJ's for several years, because in the past I found them to have reliable and trustworthy service. However, starting earlier this year, I found this abruptly changed. I brought my car in four times over a period of two months for the same exact problem: the check-engine light was on, with a variety of other weird symptoms like misfiring, rough idle, and a weird clicking sound when first starting up. I'd bought a code reader, and told mechanic Mauricio about the "thermostat control circuit" code I was getting; every time I got the car back, the engine light would come back on a couple days later, followed by increasingly escalating symptoms (low coolant, low oil pressure). Eventually they found that the engine block was cracked. (Presumably from overheating, although Mauricio assured me multiple times that the thermostat was fine.) They had to replace the entire engine. But what really struck me was just how lackadaisical and seemingly uninterested in servicing me Mauricio and owner Tom were throughout the process. They slow-rolled and eventually outright refused to work with the service contract I have on the car through my bank as part of my auto loan; at one point, Tom said he'd call them, then when I followed up three days later, he said he was waiting for me to give him their number. Days would go by without hearing back from them and with no progress made on my car, until I called asking for a status update. (It supposedly took Mauricio two days to get a code reader so he could reset the check-engine light. Two days...) What happened? Well, earlier this year, I came to the shop with my wife so she could get her car inspected: with the "Annoy a Liberal" sign and various religious tchotchkes on their front-office walls, I have a sneaking suspicion that they deliberately started giving me poor service after learning I was married to another woman. On the other hand, maybe I'm wrong about this... and this poor service is now par for the course for all customers. Either way, DJ's is absolutely not worth your time. read more

I bought my new SUV with Carvana, and I had to get it assembled. From the moment I entered in Tom was so friendly and answering all my questions. Although, they did not have the necessary brackets, they took a step further to help me and ordered it from Honda. They were genuinely nice; I have no doubt I'll be back in this business. read more

Love this place. Brought my car here for an inspection, super quick. Brought my other car in for battery replacement and oil change amd it was done within an hour. He offered to call me with pricing information to replace the sawy bar in my mustang. I had a good vibe from the moment I walked in. Not like other shops where you just feel like you're not being told the truth. read more

Great service and qualified professional specialists! They help their customers and they do a superb job on the cars that i have had them service. read more

I never know how to start these, maybe I should read someone else's and learn. I was referred here from another mechanic to get my MD inspection (I'm from VA, the MD inspections are silly). Last of the month type stuff, needed some minor repairs ASAP. These guys gave me a great price and really worked with me to make sure I ended the weekend in success. What an awesome bunch of humans who really know what they're doing. I highly recommend this place, give them a shot if you don't believe me. read more

They do good work but just have patience. Being 1 of the reliable and good shops around a lot of work comes his way.

Fast service, and very friendly! I called DJ's when my car wouldn't start after filling up at a nearby gas station. Tom and his technicians figured out it was just air in the fuel system--I'd let the tank get too low before refueling. Since the fix was so simple and fast, Tom gave me a discount on labor. I appreciate his honesty and courtesy! read more

I was looking for a mechanic to check my car after running over a curb. After reading reviews, I decided to take my car over to DJ's for an evaluation. Later, I got a call from the owner Thomas that he noted some cosmetic damage, but no serious damage that warranted any repairs. I picked up my car later that day without getting billed for the service. It is rare to come across an honest mechanic. If I ever have any more car troubles, DJ's will be the first that I will call. read more

I decided to reduce my review for this place to one star. When I got my car inspected I was told that my brakes were in the verge of needing replacement. I took it to another mechanic a few months later and he said my brakes were in great condition. These people lied outright about the condition of my brakes. Do not trust these people. read more

my car's air conditioner broke down on the hottest week of august 2021. i live in virginia, but it was a friend's high recommendations that got me to drive this hot car to dj's. my car was repaired within days and at at the most reasonable price! i can truly say i was happy with the service at dj's auto specialists! read more

Customer Service & Professionalism at its BEST! I went to DJ's to get a safety check and the experience was better than expected. They offered me shuttle service and as a mom of 5, that's so invaluable. My husband took in his vehicle and they accommodated his work schedule and made sure his wait would be as short as possible. Support small businesses and go to DJ's. Honesty & Integrity to boot. You won't be disappointed! read more

THESE PEOPLE ARE CROOKED!! DO NOT GO HERE!! Sent my son to get his car inspected...car was fine when he got there...They took it in the bay and minutes later came out and told him it was "smoking" and he needed a new head gasket for $800...I came home checked it and it was fine...took it to my mechanic the next day and he said it was fine. They tried to take advantage of a young man who didn't know better. You should be ashamed of such dishonest business practices. read more

Great service, friendly folks, and went the extra mile for me. Will definitely be going back and recommending to friends.

I am updating my review from 2012, which was my first visit to DJ's. Unfortunately, I can't give any more than 5 stars, so that will have to remain the same, but if I could I would rate Tom and his mechanics much higher. Yes, their prices seem a bit high to someone like me who makes less than 40,000 a year, but when I have a serious problem with my car I take it to Tom. I trust him and his mechanics completely when it comes to the most important thing about the transaction: my safety and the life of my car. If you are only concerned about getting a cheap price, go somewhere else where you can pay half the price and more than likely get half the skill and experience. I'll stick with someone that I know is going to be honest with me, is going to tell me everything in advance of doing the work, and will even drop me off at home if necessary. read more

I wish I could give DJ's 10 stars! After being quoted three times what I should have and lied to about what my car needed by a mechanic in DC, I took my car out to DJ's where it was promptly assessed, quoted, and fixed in a very short period of time. I never thought I'd find myself wishing to get more car work done, just so I could go to a certain mechanic, but that's how I feel about DJ's! I highly recommend this place as they are straightforward about what is needed and don't mess around with price and unnecessary parts. And Tom is an absolute delight! I now feel safe in my car again and I know that I have a fantastic place to go with efficient, honest experts who aren't going to take advantage of me being a woman and not knowing much about cars. Thank you, DJ's Auto Specialists! I am most grateful for your excellent work! read more

Purchased a vehicle that had been inspected by this location. They did list a few things wrong on the inspection report but nothing major. I had the vehicle re-inspected a week later at a different shop and they pointed out that not only was there a section of compromised/rusted frame rail, but the control arms needed replaced. The floorpans were also rusted to the point where poking them with a pencil would have went through them. All of those things were marked as pass on the inspection report when they shouldn't have been. read more

Great quality work, with the most comparable prices. What would have taken other shops all day to do they accomplished in half the time. Professional customer service and willingness to work with you to get things done. read more

This place is awesome! I take all my vehicles here. You do not have to worry about someone trying to over charge you.

I have been taking my cars to Dj's for nearly 15 years. Over the years I have always found Tom to be trustworthy and dependable, providing very good service for a fair price. I appreciate the fact that his mechanics have been with him for years. I'm not much of a car expert, which makes me feel vulnerable going in for a car repair. When I go to DJ's I feel like I can let down my guard because I'm confident Tom will steer me in the right direction and not take advantage. read more

DJ's is an auto body repair place that try's to rip you off anyway they can. I will never take any car or tell anyone about DJ's. They charge too much for minor work that might be needed for your car. I got my car inspected there and got a quote of 600$ for repairs. Took my car down the street and got the same job for half the price. They had the nerve to get mad because I did not get my work done there and wanted to charge me 20$ more for a reinspection, when clearly the bottom of the form states if you return in 30 days the inspection is free. I will chalk the 70 something odd dollars you got from me up as a loss. read more
