Pleased he earned your trust. We're grateful you noted Chris's above-and-beyond care, Marcia, and we'll keep providing excellent service at Capitol Hill Auto.
Chris at Capitol Hill Auto took excellent care of my Mini Cooper for many years. Sadly I had to get rid of that car during Covid and traded it for a new VW Golf. The warranty on that car expired so I brought it to Capitol Hill recently for a battery problem. I needed the car quickly and the service couldn’t have been smoother. Chris responded to my early morning email right away. I brought the car in at about 9:30 and had it back before noon. The estimate, approval of work, and payment were all done online and super fast. Chris was kind enough to explain a couple things about the key to the car that I never understood for all the yrs I’ve been driving it. The work done was impecable and as my car ages and needs work, I won’t have any place but Capitol Hill Auto take care of it. Highly recommend!
