Friendly staff, quick and honest service. They are straight up with you and don't try to rip you off. Would definitely recommend taking your car here for service. read more

Pretty average shell station with a service center connected to it. They are open 24 hours which is a plus.

These guys are awesome--called on a Saturday to see if they could change my battery after it mysteriously died in my 2012 car. I had just gotten a jump start so it had to be soon, but most places I called (including the dealership) said no or said it was a 2+ hr wait. These guys said to come on in when I called, took care of it immediately when I arrived, and the fees were no-nonsense. And the guy who did the work was smart and friendly. I will be back if I have any other service needs! read more

DP Auto is as good as all the glowing reviews say it is. David is honest, knowledgeable, and very fair in pricing. This place is not showy or fancy; the work is the star of this show and it is excellent!!! read more

I'll add my voice to the chorus of people here who rave about DP. The first time I had car problems, I went to the garage across the street from DP (thinking it was DP). Big mistake. The work was slow and super expensive, and when it was all over they started pushing me to get a whole bunch of additional repairs done. This time, when a bolt went through my tire on Reno Road, I got up bright and early the next morning and drove to DP. DP is quick, honest, and friendly. My only suggestion would be to get there early- the garage opened at 7:30 and I was there at 7:35 (with admittedly a quick and easy fix - $20 to have my tire patched). By the time I left, at 8am, the crowds were already building up. read more

Fantastic local garage. Dave is honest, hardworking and fast. The only place we take our car for repairs and service.

I went here for the first time this past Saturday. When I got there, the lot was full, in fact, I had a hard time pulling around the cars for gas. This is not to complain, but rather to say he's popular, to add some dramatic affect and to prep people a bit. I had gone through the reviews on Yelp first and thought, ok, I'll check out a guy associated with a Shell Gas Station. According to the reviews, DP just happened to like Yellow and White, too, so they fit well together. I needed an Oil Change. I hit the 3,000 mark miles ago and the 5,000 mark occured on my way back from Massachusetts, which set off the "Maintenance Needed" or whatever button. For all those who don't know, this usually means Oil Change, but of course feel free to freak out and give the mechanic millions of ways to sell you things you don't need. When I walked up, David was very busy. Two people had called in and a a very good friend, obviously, was there to help him out. He said to leave the car and he'll try to get to it this afternoon. There were at least 10, possibly 15 cars ahead of me. And this was at about 10:30 AM. I got a call around 1:30 pm to pick up my car. I did, and David was extremely friendly, had a smile on his face and gushed about how easy Toyota's are to maintenance. He really seems to love his job. I highly recommend this place, David was great and apparently has great friends. So, even if he looks busy, give him a try. read more

Came in for an oil change after comparing prices and reviews around town. It offered a fair DC price, $34.99. They were quick and helpful at doing the oil change and the usual inspection-tires, fluids, etc. They found an oil leak and potentially other oil leaks, and showed the leak to me. There was no pressure to get it fixed by them, it was a nice FYI. This is a great place. Professional work. Thanks. read more

I was impressed I was in and out within ten minutes. Rolled up, he examined my car, found the nail I had missed, removed it, patched it and I was on my way for the low total of $30, didn't try to upsell me to get a new tire, or any other service. Professional, efficient, and friendly. Will be a return customer. read more

Came in for an oil change, prices are extremely reasonable! Mike was very knowledgeable and able to fit me in at the last minute during the busy holiday break. I left a very satisfied! They just gained a lifelong customer! read more

Fastest, no fuss oil change I've ever had. But what made me give 5 stars was the day I came to them with a flat in my BRAND NEW Costco tire (1 day old). They were already busy and managed to squeeze me in patched me up and sent me on my way within 15 min. I REALLY appreciated the service and being patient when I was being spazzy. read more

I had a slow leak in one of my tires. I called David and was told to bring my car in. Mike checked all the tires and found the leak and repaired it. Very pleased with the service which took about 15 minutes. I felt the cost was a little excessive, but would use DP again and recommend them to others. read more

David is truly skilled and a master in auto diagnosis and repair. I've taken my 2008 and 2012 Hondas to his shop a few times for noises, brakes, and routine service and almost instantly, he tells me what's wrong and gets it fixed promptly and accurately. Finding a trustworthy auto shop is rare. I've been to the dealers, Midas, Merchants/NTB, Mr Tire, etc and I always feel they are trying to upsell unneeded services and don't give me the greatest confidence in their abilities. In contrast, DP Auto has won my trust with proven results. David and his team are true to their values of honesty and safety at reasonable cost. I only wish I had discovered them earlier! read more

Wonderful service. Twice I have showed up without an appointment to get a minor repair done. Once to replace a break light and the other time to reattach the rear break light to the rear windshield. Both times I was helped within 15 minutes and out of there in 30 minutes or less. I never feel like I am being talked down to or taken advantage of as a young woman. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Fantastic! I have been going to David for over 5 years and he always takes care of my cars. I have him do routine auto work like oil changes etc.. However the part where he really stands out are for the big things you want him to fix and the things he discovers. I needed a car battery and it was done within a few hours. My brakes were just worn out, which I had a feeling it was, and I brought the car in only for the oil change. Dave called me and told me about the brakes and said not to spend the money now to fix the front ones and only do the rear brakes. He didn't steer me wrong. All I can say is he is honest, his workers really appreciate when you say thanks, and he will take care of your car for a reasonable price. Have no fear to bring the car to him. read more

This was my first time here and after doing much research, I settled upon this place. I took my Honda Civic Si in for a major repair. Turns out the clutch needed to be replaced. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case but after 100,000 miles of wear and tear, it was about time. David was able to replace it as well as recommend other work. I'm happy to say my car feels new again. The techs here really know what they're doing and its reassuring when I see customers know them on a first name basis. David makes you feel at home and it's almost like I've know him for years. I highly recommend this shop and I will definitely be going back again for all my auto needs. read more

This place is a gem. They are honest and tell you what your car really needs. We thought we were due for brake pads, but they assured us we could wait a good bit longer. They also took a nail out of a tire that we didn't know about. The fact that we really feel we can trust them makes us want to be repeat customers! read more

My partner and I LOVE this auto shop and will never go anywhere else for as long as we are in the area. They are quick, honest, helpful and affordable. I never have the price scaries when I go to pick my car up. 10/10 would def recommend! read more

Dave and his team are awesome! Honest, friendly, thorough and very professional. I have been bringing my car to him for many years and have told other people about him. He and his team are great about last minute things like oil, batteries and tires. read more

I brought my car in for an oil change. When I came to pick it up, David tried to charge me over $90 (rather than the usual ~$45) because he did additional work on my car that I didn't ask for. I told him I wasn't going to pay the extra money and he was very condescending and passive aggressive as he said "ok, then you're getting this work for free." I repeated that I didn't ask for this additional work, so there was no reason for me to pay for it. He claimed to have been calling me "ALL DAY" but couldn't reach me, so he had no choice but to do the extra work without telling me. In reality, I had 2 missed calls with no voicemails. I returned his call after I saw the two missed calls and he told me my car was ready and didn't say anything about extra charges, aside from replacing windshield wipers, which costs a lot less than the extra charges (and which I also didn't ask for or agree to pay for). He sprung the rest of the charges on me when I arrived to pick up my car. To top it off, when I got to my car, I discovered that he left my lights on all day after and my battery was dead. Needless to say, I will not be going back there. read more

Great garage and team. I have an 04 BMW that I bring to DP for everything. I'll continue going there to keep my car running rather than buy a new one. read more

I brought my car in last week at 1130 am, because it was making a noise. They stopped what they were currently doing, put it on a machine and found the issue. Started working on it and at around 3pm he called and said it was done. Service was prompt, polite and price friendly. I highly recommend them and will use them again, should I have other automotive repair needs. read more

I had an appointment at 2 and told me 45 minutes. Perfect. In and out. Very nice people. First time coming to the place and do recommend it. Thank you read more

Super attentive and fast! I took my car in for a check up and they were quick with some minor fixes and informed me I needed new tires, which they were able to schedule me in for a appointment a few days after. And to go above and beyond, they texted me after a few days to make sure everything was good. read more

The guys at DP are a great and hardworking group. They're not going to try to upsell you a bunch of stuff you don't need just so they can make an extra buck. It's great to have mechanics that don't make you feel pressured into making expensive decisions on the spot. They'll talk you through what they'd recommend and will always look to save you money where they can. For example, I went in for an oil change but they noticed I had a couple of issues on my KIA, one that was part of a recall and another that was under warranty. They told me to take it to the dealer where they would fix those issues for free instead of trying to convince me to pay for it at DP. Plus, it's really hard to beat a $30 oil change in this area. Highly recommend DP and they do take reservations/appointments! read more

These folks are terrific. I first took my car in for a scheduled oil change a couple years ago - they looked at the oil and said it was too clean to change (and no charge for checking it). I've taken the car back subsequently - they are honest and competent and timely. I'll be a customer for life! read more

Had a blown headlight. Called to get a quote and an appointment for a replacement. Was told it was a walk in fix and it would be $30. Went there without an appointment. was seen immediately. Light was fixed for $30. No BS fees. Quick service. David, the owner, was great. 5 stars. read more

David and his team are a great group of mechanics. They provide honest and quality auto repair to NW DC. They have helped me out on several occasions and always come in at a lower price than their competition and provide excellent customer service. read more

This place is great. I actually found them on yelp and messaged them. Within 30 minutes I got a reply. I was having issues with one of my cars and asked what the problem might be and how much it would cost. David immediately told me what the problem was. I had gone to 4 mechanics previously and no one could figure out what was wrong (now mind you he figured this out based on what I described over messaging). He was absolutely correct about the issue. I would recommend everyone to this place. This guy knows what he's talking about!! Thank you read more

There are so many nice, friendly, helpful and experienced people. I mean David and his team do a really good job. Highly recommend them. I always do service for my car in this shop. Satisfied. read more

Small shop with a good group of guys who are friendly and truly seem like their just making a living helping people. Never felt like they were trying to make a huge profit off me or up sell something, reasonable prices from a knowledgable team. read more

Like all the other reviews here I'm very pleased with the service! I dropped my car off on a Friday afternoon for a yelp deal for oil change. I could see they were busy and didn't need my car right away (and I live in the neighborhood) so I had indicated I can wait until the next day to get it. They had it ready by the end of the day! And they were still working hard even after hours to complete all the jobs they had. That's dedication! Also same experience as others, my tech went over recommendations to me but did not try to upsell their services to me at all which is always appreciated. But the most memorable part for me was that he reset my tire pressure sensor on his own. Everywhere else I had gone to try and get it fixed, I was told only the dealership could reset it and they would charge a steep price! (My car has two tire pressure sensors - one to tell me my pressure is low; the other to tell me one or more of my sensors may not be working, and it was this second one that I had had issues with for so long now!) For this act alone I would go back to this place for future car needs. read more

My first visit to DP Auto was a complete success. Simple, fast, reasonably priced. Problem solved on first visit. I would definitely return for future service. read more

This is my first Yelp review ever. David and his crew are the most professional, trustworthy and efficient Ive ever experienced. Most recently I went for a regular oil change before taking a long drive to OBX with family riding along. David and his staff took excellent care to ensure we had a safe trip. There were additional things needed they noticed and took care of immediately. I first discovered them after getting my oil changed at Midas and having the oil leak out of my car within a day and almost ruining the engine due to their faulty work. I highly recommend them!! read more

I've taken my car to DP Auto on several occasions. Each time, I've received prompt service, and no one has attempted to sell me on work that my car doesn't need. read more

After searching for a good mechanic in the city for a couple of years (and getting some pretty shady service), I started coming to David and team at DP. It's such a relief when you can take your car to people you trust and always treat you fairly, directly, and honestly. If you're hunting around, do yourself a favor and just come here. read more

Great service!! Regular maintenance such as filter change and other equipment check was pretty good, and tires replacement was also perfect. I wanna use their service again if I need help. read more

I went to DP Auto Service in early June 2014. I chose it over closer shops, because of the good reviews. When I picked up my car, I noticed that objects had been stolen from it. I would not suggest visiting the store--go somewhere without theft. Details below: My car need AC work, and the part had to be ordered. I was leaving town for the weekend, and the shop suggested I just leave the car there. When I returned the following week to pick up the car, the AC was working fine, but objects in my car had been removed. A bunch of the toll change I keep in the dash was gone (maybe $5 of change), as well as small items like a pen. This worried me, and so I looked over the whole car. I found that someone had gone through the objects in the trunk, and removed some tools, specifically the tire iron and screw drivers from my spare kit. It was pretty obvious that they were missing--there were bits of styrofoam in the trunk, and some camping gear I had in the wheel well had been moved. I went back to the store and asked where my tools were. (Sure didn't like the idea of getting a flat and not being able to change it.) The two mechanics I spoke with looked baffled, and after making some phone calls gave me a replacement tire iron. They did not apologize or take responsibility. I asked why someone would have been fooling with the spare tire for an AC job--they had no idea. I would not suggest visiting the shop. read more

Flat tires suck, but DP made finding a replacement easy and quick when we found the flat and was caused by a sidewalk issue. I'll be back! ...just hopefully not too soon. read more

DP Auto Service used to be the best car service place in NW DC. Oh how the mighty have fallen... Everyone remembers good ol' Kenny who used to run the place before the gas station became a Shell. David Pham took over for Kenny when he retired and for about a year worked very hard to keep Kenny's loyal customers. I was very satisfied with David's service over the first year. Word of mouth about DP Auto Service quickly got out and now the place has more customers than they can handle. Because of this, their level of customer service has greatly deteriorated. David no longer shows up until 3pm in the afternoons. Pay no attention to the hours they post. Just a month ago David told me to be there at 7:30am on a Tuesday (when they are supposed to open) to pick up my keys. When I arrived, there was no one there. I waited an hour before I eventually just hopped on the bus because I was late for work. Since he has gained the trust of Kenny's former customers, David has also turned into a deceitful crook. I took my Acura in to get an estimate on new brakes and the price David quoted me was $300 MORE than what I was quoted when I went to the DEALER! Unbelievable! Needless to say I will never be giving him my business again. Take your car to Auto Tech Service in Adam's Morgan. Miguel is an honest mechanic who keeps regular hours, not a lazy swindler like David Pham. read more
