Highly recommend! If you value honesty, then Parson is your guy. We travel from Northern Virginia…read morejust to get an honest quote from Parson. We recently had some minor trouble with our MDX and took it to the dealer. They said the steering fluid was leaking and quoted us $3500 to replace the steering column. We were skeptical, since our car had been relatively low maintenance and not having any signs of trouble prior to this. We always go to Parson for a second opinion, b/c he knows the business and we can trust him. He said there was a very small leak and that replacing the steering column was not necessary. It also did not have anything to do with the reason why the car was having issues. He fixed the car and recommended watching it and if it gets worse, then we should go back. He's a gem!

i brought my mercedes because my computer told me I needed to replace my alternator. And…read moremistakenly believed all the testimonies on his website. Instead of replacing my alternator, owner Sam Dawood, who is either incompetent or disreputable told me both my batteries were malfunctioning and replaced two good Mercedes Benz batteries with 2 interstate batteries V4MTP and MTP48-H-6 both of which the Interstate website will tell you Battery doesn't fit vehicle. He charged me $765.49. Invoice attached. The Following day my computer again told me I needed a new alternator. I returned and he claimed one battery was defective and supposedly replaced. Following day same message appeared. I returned and he then tells me it would take hours of diagnostic testing to "diagnose" and couldn't even give an estimate for repairs until I paid probably around $1,000 just for "diagnosis " which I already knew was the alternator. Instead I drove my mercedes to a mercedes dealership - service. They replaced the alternator and two years later I had No problem with the alternator but with both batteries which failed prematurely since they were not compatible with my mercedes. And although under warranty since they were the incorrect interstate batteries, warranty does not apply. Don't believe any of those testimonials. He keeps hounding you after he services your car to write something nice. They were written under pressure. And don't expect him to honor the warranty. He will claim it was something unrelated to your service. But don't put yourself in that position To begin with. Don't bring your European car to Drive European.

Admittedly I let my dad handle it but John kept finding things that needed attention. He wanted to bring it here as apparently John knows BMW's well. LOL as a side note, my car smells like an entire football team hotboxed it while killing a carton of Marlboros whenever it's returned from John's shop. After the most recent work, my car was making a weird smell so I called and left a message asking when I could bring it in. Then I called again. And again. I called for about a week with no return call. My car blew up on 270 and was totaled. Literally a fire started underneath the car and I had to jump out. I was lucky, my car was not. John has STILL not returned my call. Please use him if you're a chain smoker, extremely rich and looking to pay for random fixes that John "finds" ... all while not getting any help, empathy or professionalism when you need it.
