Eastern Market, Capitol Hill

I brought my car here after the temperature gauge started running higher than normal during my…read morecommute. I initially thought it might just be an aging coolant issue, but I didn't want to keep driving it and risk turning a cooling-system problem into an engine problem. Their technicians inspected the heating and coolant system rather than simply topping off the reservoir and sending me home. They found that the coolant level was low and traced the issue to a leak that needed attention. They also checked the hoses and other components of the cooling system and explained what they found before doing the repair. I appreciated that because I wanted to understand why the temperature had been fluctuating instead of just being handed a repair bill. While they had the vehicle, they also checked the heater operation because I'd noticed that the cabin heat wasn't getting as warm as it normally did. The technician explained how the coolant system affects both engine temperature and the vehicle's heating system, which helped everything make much more sense. After the repair and coolant service, the temperature gauge stayed exactly where it should during both stop-and-go D.C. traffic and longer drives. The heater also returned to normal operation. I love that they didn't immediately recommend replacing expensive parts. They inspected the system, identified the actual problem, explained the repair, and then verified that everything was operating properly afterward. That's exactly the kind of approach I want from an auto repair shop. Plus, everyone was professional throughout the visit, and the technicians clearly knew what they were doing - very reassuring!

An alright experience with both positives and drawbacks. I appreciated the courtesy, but some…read moredetails seemed to get less attention than they deserved. Things were adequate overall, with room for improvement.

TERRIBLE! went in for a broken shift cable and left with a fixed cable, grease stains on the door…read moreof a recently fully detailed car(1 week) and a check engine light that's now on with 2 codes that mysteriously have nothing to do with the repair... Also, they tried to charge me $130 for a $60 - 80 part. But, at least they fixed it.

A couple of years ago, the transmission gave out in my 2002 Hyundai Accent. I spent weeks dealing…read morewith other shops in the DMV before I finally took it to AAMCO in Fort Washington. I knew AAMCO offered great warranties on their services, but I was most pleased by the customer service. Robert Graham, the manager, was wonderful. He helped to put me at ease during a very stressful time with his professionalism and great sense of humor. He pretty much bent over backwards to ensure that I could have my car fixed, despite my less than stellar financial situation at the time. He helped me out a lot and ensured that my car was in tip top shape, which pleasantly surprised me, as I had grown accustomed to sub par customer service and mechanical work dealing with other shops. Also, the location is great! You can walk to 7-Eleven, Giant and KFC as you are waiting to get your car done. Nothing is worse than being stranded in the middle of nowhere without a car... although often times I just stayed at the shop to shoot the shit with Graham. My Hyundai lasted up until it was hit and totaled a month ago (I moved to Pittsburgh shortly after my car was fixed, and Pittsburgh drivers are notoriously awful). But because of Graham at AAMCO, I was able to keep my car long enough to move and establish myself in a new city and at a new college, which was a godsend. If I had to get a new car before I moved, I would've had to postpone my move and delay going back to school. Before you waste any time dealing with any other auto shop, go see Graham at AAMCO in Fort Washington. You will not be disappointed! You may even get a new friend out of it all... I know I did!

Per the advice of my mother, who was a previous customer, I stopped in for a pre-trip inspection…read morebefore a very lengthy road trip. I was the first to arrive (before the shop opened), as I wanted to be in and out as quickly as possible. The young lady at the front desk assisted me and informed me that the service required full payment upfront. Now, for many businesses, this would be a red flag. But given the nature of this particular establishment, along with its solid reputation, I was completely OK with this. You've heard of "dine and dash," involving people who eat and skip out on their bill, so I'm sure that this business didn't want to deal with people who "drive and dash." Anyway.... The mechanic started working on my vehicle immediately and was extremely thorough. Shortly thereafter, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Mr. John, when he entered the sitting area/lobby. I asked if he was the owner because he just had that commanding presence that most owners possess & I wanted to speak with him directly. I informed Mr. John about why I came to his shop and truly appreciated the time and care he put into servicing my vehicle to ensure that it was safe. He told me that he could tell I took care of it, and that for its age, it was in great shape. Mr. John even went the extra mile (see what I did there, haha) and showed me some things that were worn and would eventually need repair. This was great info, not only so I know what to expect for a future visit to my local auto repair shop but also because I decided to have some of the work performed that same day. I felt it was wise to get it out of the way and not have to worry about anything breaking while on the road. Mr. John even told me to call once I arrived at my destination, which further proved that he genuinely cares about his customers and takes great pride in his work. I called the following week and let the young lady at the service desk know that my trip was smooth!

Mr. John will give it to you straight with fair pricing. Originally brought my Audi Q5 in for a…read morecoolant leak. After diagnosing the problem he informed me the cost of repairs would be almost equivalent to an engine replacement. As the issue could be a simple water pump or more complex as a blown head gasket. Needless to say the work was not performed but I appreciated his honesty!
