I recently moved to the DC area and took my Toyota to the dealership for a regular maintenance check-up. They charged me way too much and told me I needed new brake pads. I took my car to Allen Automotive and asked that they inspect/replace my brake pads. Allen himself came back with a recommendation that my brake pads were fine. His fees for regular maintenance/services are also way under what a dealership will charge.

Used to be a great shop. The last two times I brought my car in though were just awful. Brought my car to get a cracked header fixed. Waited for two weeks only to be told they couldn't do it. Brought it in again, to put in sparks and wires just because I didn't have the time and wanted to give them a second chance. Gave them the parts to do it...Turns out they didn't have the time of day to do it. Waited a week and a half to try to be fair, but ended up just picking up the car and going elsewhere. Sad to see.

Here at Allen Automotive, we pride ourselves in our total transparency throughout the entirety of your visit, and we keep our records updated with all our customer interactions.
