Friendly staff with welcoming first impression. Knowledgeable, quick and efficient. They were able to service my Porsche Macan GTS in a very timely manner and provided a virtual check point inspection. Definitely will return for future services. What got me was the friendly staff, creating positive impressions go a long way. Thank you read more

The DPS Automotive shop is amazing. Quick and efficient. I look forward to bringing all my vehicles to DPS. It is always a challenge finding a trustworthy mechanic. These folks are honest, great automotive technicians, and amazingly affordable. Finally, a mechanic we can trust!! See for yourself. read more

Excellent response time to request for service. Very friendly staff, service was quick and efficient for my problem. I felt respected treated with utmost courtesy. I would recommend DPS with no hesitancy. read more

Never had the opportunity to work with them...I'm sure they are great. I would give them the opportunity in the future.

Gave me a high quote for an oil change, but the final price was lower. I assume they want to make sure they do not surprise the customer after the fact. Two men interacted with me, one definitely young/early in their career. They seemed honest and seemed to pay attention to details. I plan on going back for new tires. A safety light has remained on, despite the service. I will see if it is taken care of during my next visit. read more

I'm a new customer who needed an oil change right away. I went to DPS based on YELP reviews. I found DPS to be very professional. In fact the most Professional I have ever experienced in a an auto repair service facility. read more

My car stopped running over the weekend. Initially, I believed it was my starter after the tow truck driver wasn't able to jump it. I found DPS through Yelp and contacted them through here. They were respectful and responsive and provided me with an appointment and estimate. I had my car towed to them yesterday. Chris kindly greeted me and explained that he wanted to run a diagnostic because he didn't believe it was the starter. He was correct! It was actually my battery so I ended up spending less than what I expected to. I'm not from here originally so I've been finding it difficult to find someone trustworthy for car repairs, especially as a young woman. I will definitely be coming back for future services. Thanks, you guys! read more

They refused to service me to open my fuel tank door. They gave me a quote for over $300 to fix the fuel tank door release cable but wouldn't do any work around that to help that would be cheaper and help me temporary or negotiate with me on the phone. Horrible service. read more

Needed brake work and an oil change. I used the contractor work search app on yelp and DPS was the first to respond with a question and then an immediate written estimate. I called and spoke with Chuck Nguyen. Chuck and the entire staff are very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is like a mom and pop shop (compliment) but they are very professional, efficient and reasonable. My vehicle was ready in little time. They are pretty much a one stop shop (got an estimate for body work) and have a recidivist customer base. I am so happy to have found my new auto maintenance and repair shop. And Chuck is awesome. You can tell, all he does is Nguyen! I know, it's corny. My teenage son would call that a lame Dad joke. This business is cool and I would highly recommend them. read more

I used yelp to find a repair shop that would get me a quote for a broken passenger side mirror. DPS was very responsive with fair prices and quick turnaround. After an initial online estimate, they asked me to come visit them to get the matching paint code and verify the parts they would order would match my car. I came in and they were able to order it. The next day they called back and told me the parts arrived and were able to quickly add me to their schedule to have it installed. The repair didn't take very long and they had a small waiting room, roughly 1.5 hours. Service was excellent and prices were competitive. I would definitely recommend them. read more

They simply do great work on your vehicle. I take my Dodge Durango and Nissan Rogue to DPS for all vehicle service.

Working with DPS was a great experience. I found them through Yelp and requested a quote. They responded quickly with a competitive rate. The service was accommodating, even going above and beyond with helping me with another issue my car had. read more

The DPS Team are wonderful! I was grateful to find them through Yelp, they definitely deserve their 5 stars with their fast, courteous and professional responses. They did an engine swap on my Volvo and brought my car back to life within a week, kept the cost at reasonable pricing. It's difficult to find trustworthy mechanics and I wish I had found them sooner. Thank you DPS!! read more

This place is awesome. Super transparent and honest people. They took great care of my bmw and the wait time was very short for the part to be installed. They even took time to explain to me why and how the repair was going to be done. Chuck and Pirouz are great people to work and do business with. read more

was a customer of this service a couple of weeks ago. bmw 525i 2002. I needed to put other wheels and make the wheel alignment. I explained to the manager that it is necessary to put wheels with spacers because the hub and wheels have a different central hole. When the car was driven inside, the master took a large screwdriver and began to pick out the hub caps with a screwdriver. I had to go inside and show them how to remove them correctly, that they just need to be turned and removed. When the master removed all the old wheels, he began installing new ones. he began to put them without spacers and he did not succeed. I had to call the manager to explain to him how to put the wheels. After installing the wheels, he made the collapse of the convergence of the wheels. Bottom line: when I'm driving on the road, I have to keep the steering wheel a little to the right to keep the car going straight. When I came to another service for wheel balancing, they showed me that the rear wheels are not in the right position, they have a direction that is directed in the other direction. read more

DPS Automotive - tire direction - Auto Repair Near Me - N Bethesda, Maryland

See all

I just moved here from California and needed a Maryland inspection for my moto. I went to a nearby Harley place which tried to rip me off with some ridiculous b.s. That next day they were supposed to give me a quote on what they wanted to rip me off for to make it pass, but I guess the thought of a Triumph soiling their premises was too much so they told me to &(*& off. Without even a recommendation. I looked and found another place on Yelp (I didn't the first time, stupid me), and they were awesome, CycleMax. They knew that other place's suggestions were complete bogus. We all agreed my brakes needed new pads, so, of course they did them for me at a very, very reasonable price. They even fixed my center-stand which was precariously hanging; something the other place didn't seem to note! Sheesh. Anyhoo, Cyclemax then called DPS and snuck me in late in the day. Pirouz is a total crack-up and got me out of there in no time flat. They really stood up to the plate. I'm gonna bring in my truck for a clutch job it needs badly, and I totally recommend them. Of course, it's not a high-fallutin' showroom with a pot of coffee, waiting room with tea and coffee and a TV to over-charge you for. It's just a greasy garage that gets you fixed, fast, competently and at a reasonable cost. read more

Chris from DPS was incredibly responsive to my request, knowledgeable about my car, and provided impeccable service. I would highly recommend him and DPS to others. They certainly won a new customer in me. read more

My Subaru needed some work this month and I was lucky to discover DPS Automotive. Chuck in particular was outstanding and went the extra mile to make sure everything was right. In addition to the main repairs I needed, he and the technicians investigated a subtle noise that was bothering me until they discovered the source and replaced a part, curing the issue. DPS are real professionals, and Subaru experts to boot! Their prices are reasonable. They have lots of loyal customers, and I see why. Many thanks to Chuck and the DPS team! I strongly recommend them! read more

Getting an A/C fixed in the middle of summer, I was expecting a horrible turnaround time, but was pleasantly surprised to have my van back in less than 48 hours time. From getting the quote through yelp, to setting up a time to bring my vehicle in, to the check in process, to the payment and pickup, everyone I talked with was friendly, helpful, and wanted to make sure my experience was top notch. Highly recommended! read more

I had couple of issues with my Benz (Check engine light & battery replacement) and the dealer quoted an astronimical amount. I saw excellent reviews about DPS in Yelp and requested a quote. Pirouz from DPS sent me a reasonable quote; which I immediatly accepted. Their service was great and my vehicle is running smooth. The team @ DPS are very professional and I found them very trustworthy. They kept me in the loop throughout the process. I have decided that I will always go with DPS for any vehicle repairs in future. Quodos DPS. read more

I drove 40 minutes to go here because I saw the other reviews. Was really looking for a shop that was going to be honest with me. Everything went great, and they made some recommendations for next time without being pushy. Waiting area is very comfortable. Nice people. read more

I scrapped the front side of my car. I requested several quotes, including DPS. DPS was the only one that gave a quote and asked for more information. They responded to me quickly and I was at the shop the same day for a consultation. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. The place is clean and every person I came in contact with was friendly. As it turns out the damage to my car was not as extensive as initially thought and they had me out of there with my shiny new cat restored in less than 40 minutes AND refused to take payment because there was minimal work. They could have really gouged me but they didn't. DPS is honest, has integrity and not intimidated at all--especially for a woman of color that knows nothing about cars! Check them out! read more

I traveled 2 & 1/2 hours to potentially purchase a used BMW but was concerned about the mechanical condition of the car. I found DPS on Yelp and after reading reviews, gave them a call. They were extremely friendly, and accommodating of our tight schedule. They explained the pre-purchase inspection process on the phone, making sure it was what I wanted. We had to postpone the appointment twice (once due to a late departure and a second time due to traffic). They were very gracious both times. Before and even during the inspection they took the time to clearly explain their process and what they saw in the vehicle. It is evident that they know a great deal about cars and they were able to explain everything clearly to me, who has very little knowledge on the subject. This was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, experienced and friendly team. read more

We took our Chevy in for a complex job that required a lot of communication. The worksmanship and customer service were great. They went above and beyond. Definitely would recommend. read more

Last summer, I bought a used car in fantastic shape and needed to get it through Maryland State Inspection. At first, I took it to another shop which lied to me about "necessary" repairs, causing me to walk out. (Note to inspectors: Don't lie to petite females. They might be automotive students in disguise.) I decided to try my luck and ask some friends where to go for an honest evaluation of my car. I was told to check out DPS, so I gave Pirouz my keys and went to chill in the waiting area with all the car magazines. Rather than coming back with an estimate of $600 in bogus repairs like the other shop, he came back beaming. He told me that my car was in wonderful shape for its age, an excellent purchase, and that it passed with flying colors. I can take that kind of service over lying state inspection shops in the area. He didn't even tell me that I had a bulb out, the usual inspector's gimmick to get a little bit of easy money. read more

I just moved to MD from New York. I googled the place for MotorCycle inspection. DPS was closest and had good reviews on Yelp. I called the place. The person who picked up the phone was nice and identified himself as Pirouz. He asked me to come at 2 pm. I got there at 1.55 pm. Ryan received me at the store and asked me to wait inside. Pirouz was expecting me. He took the keys and started the inspection right away. Everything was done within 30 minutes. I am glad to find DPS for the inspection. read more

Pirouz and Brian have helped me out of so many sticky situations! I can't begin to thank them enough. I've been a returning customer for 3 years now and whenever something goes wrong in my car, they always help me out with discounts. They give me such deals that I've bought them lunch just because I feel like I owe it to them. They do great work and always keep me updated. I've recommended many friends to DPS and they've all been very pleased. Their prices are very reasonable and you can tell they're not trying to rip you off like most auto shops. read more

I have been taking my cars and my bike there since they opened. They always work with me to find a costly solution to repairs. Very knowledgeable and experienced guys and a friendly environment. They provide the hardest thing to find in the automotive repair industry, honesty. I have finally found a repair shop that I can trust and that is worth its weight in gold. read more

Words cannot describe the unbelievable service that I receive from them. I have been going to them for all my Subaru needs since 2007. Nothing but exceptional service. Pirous and Brian know my car inside out and I do not trust anyone else with it. They provide great competitive prices and can definitely help you out. They provided a great tune for my car, help me accomplish my goals under a budget too! Their service has certainly acquired a lifelong customer, no longer will I go to a stealership for maintenance. They are also willing to share their knowledge about cars with you as well. read more

Dps, thoughtful, honest and communication is key. Even a simple oil change is taking with the utmost care.

Just bought a low mile 1998 Civic for a commute car and in overall great condition except for a transmission leak. Took it in to DPS Automotive and they fixed it right up. They told me best case scenario (low cost), it's just the seal wearing off. Worst case scenario it would be a much more costly job - don't remember the specifics of what the job would've been in the worst case scenario, I'm not a mechanic. After diagnosing the cause of the transmission fluid leak they told me it was just the seal - great news! These guys are extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable, and have INTEGRITY. They could've gone with the worst case scenario, as many dishonest mechanics are oft to do, and made me spend possible $1k+ on a $1800 beater. But these guys were honest and I drove home with a like-new 1998 Civic. I would take any of my cars to these guys again. read more

I can only say that I completely agree with Anthony. He was the one who actually turned me on to using DPS. They are always willing to go the extra mile and help someone out. I had them do a complete rebuild of my motor and transmission. I had a lot of custom stuff done and they didn't even blink at the crazy ideas I had. Here is a link that might help you more.You will see how much people love these guys. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2056577 read more

I called DPS after my mechanic quoted me what seemed to be an exuberant price for transmission repairs. DPS quoted me a significantly cheaper price and wrote it down for me to take home. I moved my car from my old mechanic to DPS and waited a week without DPS contacting me to give me an update. I called twice and they told me to call back the following week. I called back the following week and they told me that they would not fix my transmission. They said that even though they are transmission specialists, they would not fix mine. They did not provide a reason and charged me anyway for 'their' time. They also denied ever giving me a quote and demanded I show them the paper with the quote. The people who referred me to DPS told me that they knew DPS' service to be unreliable but that this was the last straw. They are now no longer going to use DPS, as nor will I. read more

After having trans problems on my vw jetta, and the car not being able to drive well when the temp was cold....the dealers told me it would be already $1200 to try to see if they can fix it...but Pirouz and Brian were able to fox it perfectly well in less than half the cost and it drives perfectly well and they have been honest about the work required and exactly what was wrong. Well definitely recommend my friends and family here. read more

Piruoz did a great job tuning my car at the time as no one else could even get the fuel and timing fiured out as it was a pretty custom Subaru Hybrid. Living in SoCal right now, I was there was someone as professional and knowledgeable as he was and I still stand by the statement that I think he's one of the BEST open-source tuners for Subies (and that's with all of these pretenders in LA even) in the US! read more

My Subaru STI unfortunately suffered the infamous ringland. Priouz was very helpful in explaining what needed to get done in rebuilding my engine. We ended up forging the internals of the car and all this was done in less than a months time. The car has since had no issues to date. The pricing was very fair and Priouz always was patient and helping understand how to build a safe , reliable build that can still make big power. Will be coming back for all my performance needs. read more

Ive been to more mechanics than I have restaurants and let me tell you I do not need to look any further for a more reliable and trustworthy mechanic. Pirouz and his associates not only do the job right but they follow best practice to make sure that everything is clean, perfect, and looking good. In addition to all that, DPS offers the most reasonable prices around, especially for the quality of work you are receiving. Also if you have any Subaru, I can confidently say that DPS is the most knowledgeable place to take it for diagnostics and repair. read more

Just moved from New Jersey and my state inspection was quick and honest. Pirouz explained the whole process to me and we even got to talking about other car-related inquiries. I'm beyond happy to have found a trustworthy team for my auto needs. read more

I don't normally make plugs on websites, but DPS Tuning truly is as good as it gets. By far the best staff and very knowledgeable as well in the immediate MD area. I feel comfortable leaving my car at their shop (usually I don't like leaving my car at any shop unless I can see them work on the car) and know that when I go to pick it up, everything that needs to be done, is done, and my car is not all greased up and dirty like Dealerships like to do. My hats off to Pirouz and Brian. I sure as hell know I am their customer for life. They really take care of their customers. But don't take my word for it, actually go there and see for yourself. read more

These guys are excellent. They fixed my 2005 Saab 92x, which is essentially a Subaru Impreza. Great job, reasonable, professional. Very smart to do business with this shop. read more
