Chris and his staff are thorough and reliable professionals. We trust Capitol Hill Auto to keep our 11 year old auto in top condition. If necessary, Christ will keep the car overnight to insure the work is done properly
Chris at Capitol Hill Auto is great! Excellent and timely repairs at a fair price. Highly recommended.
Capitol Hill Auto provided a thorough oil change service and system check for our 2015 Toyota Avalon. They are a reliable and convenient auto service and repair shop for the community.
Great service for 20+ years. Chris and the entire team are straight talkers, no confusion.
Have been using Capitol Hill Auto for over 15 years. The owner Chris works his tail off and can sometimes get mischaracterized as aloof or even rude as he’s processing repairs and customers at the window and responding to customer emails. Just be a little patient and you’ll discover he’s smart, insightful and he…
Chris and his team are stellar. Their work is excellent and their prices competitive. A mechanic you can trust is worth their weight in gold and Chris is one of those.
The service is outstanding and the prices are the best in the local area. It's where I will always take my automobile.. Chris is the best and gives you individual attention as if you were the only persons car he is working on. I am a dedicated customer.
We bought a used car for our college kid and They did a great job checking it out and even though they discovered the AC needed more repair than we thought they got it fixed and found us a used spare tire before we had to head up to school.
capitol Hill Auto Service has been maintaining my 2016 Audi SQ5 engine since moving into the neighborhood 6 years strong! At 80000 miles, I am amazed how that the new engine feel, suspension, alignment, and condition reminds me of that day when I first drove and purchased it! This shop is the real deal.
Super responsive, efficient and honest. Highly recommend!
Great service and price transparency unlike many dealerships. Highly recommended.
I have been taking my car to Capitol Hill Auto for years now, I have been consistently impressed with their ability to finish jobs correctly and quickly. Never has there been an issue where my car needed additional work after leaving Capitol Hill Auto.
Service has always been professional and excellent! I will continue to trust them with maintenance on my cars.
We're sure there are plenty of other good repair shops, but only a few that I would call great - and only one that's top of our list. We're also sure there others have had whatever situational friction worth considering. Mr. Charucksiri - Chris - has now over the past couple of years unfailingly rendered repairs…
Simple reservation, work done quickly, could not be happier. Happy customer for many years.
Excellent, no nonsense service: listened, responded, promptly repaired , cleaned and provided routine maintenance at a very reasonable price. Like his father before him, Chris runs a highly skilled auto shop I have learned to trust.
Another great experience with Capitol Hill Auto. We've been customers here on the Hill since the early 1990's, when it was YB Auto Imports servicing our 1974 Beetle. Chris is honest and straightforward, and the location is beyond convenient. Wouldn't go anywhere else
Trustworthy. Dependable. Timely communication. Sense of humor. I have been a happy customer for 3 cars over 5+ years.
We have used Capitol Hill Auto Service for all of our cars for years and years - when we lived on Capitol Hill and now that we live on the SW Waterfront near Fort McNair. We have been consistently pleased with their services - regular and emergency.
I trust these guys completely, always fair prices and I’ve never been upsold on unneeded repairs. Effective, efficient and honest.
Best shop in town. Excellent service, fast turnaround, conveniently located and fair prices--highly recommend!
We have received excellent, honest service from Chris and the team at Capitol Hill Autos for over a decade. They have performed a wide range of maintenance and repairs and we wouldn’t take our vehicles anywhere else.
As always, I received quick, professional, courteous service. They not only changed my oil and took care of some scheduled maintenance, but—most satisfyingly—they found that the horrible loud knocking my car was making at high speeds was a product of loose splash shields. No complaints!
We’ve been using Capitol Hill Auto since our arrival in DC (14 years ago). Chris and his crew do a great job in diagnosing problems and servicing our vehicles.
No nonsense car mechanic with generally lower prices compared to other nearby mechanics. Very responsive via email for setting up the appointment and throughout. Best form of contact. This visit was my first time but I’ll be back. Highly recommended!
The best mechanic in the District of Columbia. I have been going to Chris at Capitol Hill Auto Service for over 7 years now. He has the best prices, shop hours, and service. He has worked on my 2005 Audi A6, 2010 Honda Civic, and 2015 Acura TLX. 10/10 would recommend to any and everyone looking for a new TRUSTWORTHY mechanic.
Chris and his staff are reliable, honest, approachable. We've brought our cars to his shop for over ten years and are thankful we found it!
Chris and his team were fantastic, they diagnosed the issue with the car accurately and timely, ordered parts and had the repair done efficiently and professionally. Highly recommend!
You’re going to love these guys. Chris, the owner, and Ryan, the manager, at Capitol Hill Auto Service are true professionals and really know their cars. You're also going to love them because—and this is absolutely essential when dealing with mechanics—you can trust them, I mean, totally trust them. I've relied on…
I've always had outstanding service at this place - timely repairs, very fair pricing, and great staff. Work gets done quickly and well. Of note - a few years ago, I walked to my car to leave for a roadtrip home to visit my parents and found a to-the-pavement flat tire. I was a regular customer at this point and…
