Tenleytown Automotive has been keeping my 2001 Jeep Wangler road worthy for the past 6 years. Each time I take it in for a somewhat complicated repair, I leave excited because I get to drive it a bit longer. Appreciate their professionalism and zeal for the work they do. Great crew!

I think these guys are great. They have had ample opportunity to overcharge me and haven’t. I really like their online system seeing and approving work. They’ve always helped me out in a pinch. They’re in a random location but don’t let that worry you! Would recommend.

My car’s battery died recently, and Tenleytown Auto had it replaced within 30-40 minutes of me arriving. I spent more time waiting to check in at other places than it took them to fix it, highly recommend this place.

I barely got my car to start but when I did I drove straight to Tenleytown Automotive. Even though I didn't have an appointment, they took care of me right away, diagnosed that I needed a new battery and replaced it, all in about 25 minutes! Great service!
