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 communication and consistent quality service.
Chris and team did a great job on addressing our concerns with our car and were able to make the necessary repairs quickly.
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…
I have an older BMW and was looking for a reliable place to get it serviced in DC. Capitol Hill Auto Service exceeded my expectations. They're not pushy and don't try to add on repairs you don't actually need yet. They're also more than accommodating when it comes to scheduling and pricing. For example, I had a few…
Highly recommended. I'm using them across both my cars and glad I made the switch from my previous shop.
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.
They get the job done. Period.
Been coming to Chris for over 7 years . Honest and reliable with great customer service . Never tries to upsell or make you have work you don’t need . Highly reccomebded
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.
I had a great experience with Capitol Hill Auto Service — I can see why they’re #1 in DC. Chris was easy to work with and was able to get me in quickly to take a look at a coolant issue. A few hours after dropping my car off, Chris reached out to me with the issue at hand. The online approval sign off to replace the…
I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional service you provide every time I come to the shop. Your dedication and attention to detail truly makes a positive impact. I especially want to highlight the personal attention and care which is above and beyond. Your professionalism…
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.
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.
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…
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
I’ve been coming here for years and will continue coming back for all my car needs. Everything is reasonably priced and I can get my car in and out quickly.
The folks at Capitol Hill Auto always do a fantastic job and they stand behind their work. I have been taking my cars to them for many many years.
Always get excellent service - also I really trust their recommendations
Trustworthy. Dependable. Timely communication. Sense of humor. I have been a happy customer for 3 cars over 5+ years.
I trust these guys completely, always fair prices and I’ve never been upsold on unneeded repairs. Effective, efficient and honest.
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.
Chris and his guys always take great care of our cars! Easy and quick scheduling; fair prices; excellent communication. They make car repair and maintenance painless.
The experience was not awful, but it was definitely not good. The feeling that I got from the proprietor was that “this would be a great way to make money if I just didn’t have to deal with these customers”. This auto shop never answers the phone or responds to voicemails. They make it clear from their website and…
Good neighborhood mechanic shop. Definitely recommended.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy auto shop in DC, Capitol Hill Auto is your place. I’m beyond happy with my experience. Chris was super responsive and made a great recommendation on tires which I’m very happy with. Plus I thought I would have to spend a lot more than I did.
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!
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.
Does your mechanic respond to your emails while your transmission is on the fritz while on vacation 4 states away? Mine does. And boy did that help when I was dealing with unfamiliar mechanics who *could* want to take advantage of a female tourist who isn't sure how she'll be getting home. They always do great work…
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…
Great experience! They work quickly and for a fair price. Highly recommend.
