Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. I was traveling and my beloved car wouldn’t start. (Tragedy! Confusion!)The Car Doctor team — but specifically Henry — was so communicative, fast, helpful, and forthright about everything I needed or should be on the lookout for in the future. But yeah. Henry rocks. These guys rock. 11/10, gonna make this my mechanic when I move to town.

I stumbled upon this place by chance when my serpentine belt slipped off for the third time. The owner introduced himself by name and took his time to thoroughly explain to me why the belt kept slipping in such a short time after being replaced. Previously, nothing other than the belt was ever looked at. The belt and tensioner were replaced for A LOT less than I expected, the shop is super clean and the service is top-notch! New customer for life!

I love the Car Doctor! It was recommended to me when I moved here and now I wouldnt consider going anywhere else even though its a 45 minutes drive. I have a 2000 Toyota Corolla and all the repairs have been reasonable over the past 6 months. They are honest with me on what I have to get fixed and what I should in the future.

So glad I found this place! They have become my go to place for car repairs. A couple months ago my 06 Mustang GT’s engine kept dying on me and they were able to quickly identify the fuel pump module needed to be replaced.I recently had my 2017 Infiniti Q60 towed here on a Sunday and Chris had my car ready the next day!Chris is very upfront, honest, and respectful. 100% the type of person you would want working on your car.

My husband and I were extremely impressed with the service and professionalism of The Car Doctor. We had a new water pump, serpentine belt, and a new tensioner pulley installed yesterday on our 2012 Toyota Sienna van. The repair completely solved our engine problem. Matt Bolton (the manager/co-owner) was the most knowledgeable, informative and straightforward car repair person that my husband and I have ever encountered (and we have been driving for nearly 50 years). His estimate for the repairs was significantly lower than other repair centers I had contacted (mostly because he advised that we didn’t need to do everything that others said had to be done), and his explanations for the work required were thorough and persuasive. It was so refreshing to meet a young man who has a vision for succeeding in business by providing customers with honest service at fair prices and by not recommending work that isn’t genuinely needed. And he gave us a 3-year guarantee on the work. Plus, Matt was a joy to converse with. He really, really knows cars and clearly loves helping people. We have the highest recommendation for The Car Doctor!

This repair shop is family owned, and the best kept secret in the area. I have been a patron for 35+ years. The customer service is superb in every aspect ! Kudos to Arianna at the front of the house,, and tech specialist, Matt is informative for any inquiries. The mechanics are well-trained and detail oriented. The prices are reasonable compared to industry standards. Inquire beforehand, as they specialize in certain car makes. I have taken 2 Lexus, and my Toyota there for suberb service.

I took my car to the Car Doctor to deal with a check engine light and to do a 55,000 mile tune-up. Arianne and Matt were were very communicative and upfront about the repairs and costs. The repairs were done in a timely manner and done right. They were a pleasure to work with and very professional. Overall, a fantasic experience and fantastic people.

The Car Doctor is the BEST place to take your car in Northern Virginia. First, they are extremely personable and attentive to your needs as a customer. They remember your name and enjoy building personal relationships. Second, their work is excellent - great quality and turnaround time. I am confident in their work. I can’t recommend them enough. If you want a car place you can trust, this is the place to go.

The Car Doctor staff are FANTASTIC! Matt was SO thoughtful and considerate. He listened to my needs -- budgetary, travel plans, outlook -- came up with a series of options, and helped me find the best course of action for me. The Car Doctor offers a 55-point check for free, and then Matt helps develop a plan for doing repairs over time, prioritizing, offering zero-percent financing to pay it off, and more. Arianne at the front desk is equally friendly and professional - welcoming, detail-oriented, and with great follow through.They are focused on customizing service, future planning, and doing high quality and efficient work. Its a total pleasure working with them!

Nirvana, I found it! A car doctor that actually fixes problems. Check engine light came on my 1995 Oldsmobile, I had taken the car to 5 other car repair establishment places. None of them solved the problem. The Car Doctor did and he explained why the Check Engine light came on in the first place in a manner in which I could understand and explain to my wife, who now knew everything about OBD-1 and car diagnostics due to hours watching YouTube. So when Matt at Car Doctor used the exact same terms she had heard on YouTube she understood what the problem was and what it was going to take to fix it.Matt and his team were thorough, professional and extremely detail oriented. They know cars, they know people and that combination makes for a great business. If I could give 10 stars I would. Strongly recommend Car Doctor for anything that ails your car.

A couple of days before a road trip my Ford was having trouble starting. I brought my car to Car Doctor hoping they could fix it up before I was due to hit the road. They were able to fit me in the next day and get everything sorted out. I hit the road on time and my car worked great the whole trip.

I recently brought in my 20 yr old Civic, not knowing if I would ever drive it again... Matt, Arianne, & the technicians who took on this laborious project were amazing! My beloved car runs like new. They basically rebuilt the engine, replaced wheels, brake, & fuel lines & even went way out of their way (Ohio) to replace a dented fender & detailed my car! All for more than a fair price considering the work and care they put into it. I have been taking my car there for 5+ years & highly recommended The Car Doctor for their all around approach and top notch quality service!!

I’m generally skeptical of auto repair facilities, as my experiences over more than four decades of owning vehicles precipitates such. HOWEVER, my experience with Car Doctor in Falls Church was definitely a very positive WOW!!!The team is Honest, which sadly seems to be rare across all service industries. Do business with integrity, and professionalism. Helpful, and sincere. They are also a cost effective solution, as they give you a comprehensive report UP FRONT!I highly recommend, and will certainly give them my business. Give them an opportunity to WOW you!integrity

Arianne and the mechanics at The Car Doctor are awesome. Arianne discussed with me the problems I was having and explained what the mechanics saw during inspection, then helped me decide on what repairs to prioritize. They were so busy that Arianne and Shawn were there on a Saturday (usually closed on weekends) to get the repairs done and have my car ready for me. It’s driving like new! Thanks all!

I took my car in for an oil change. Customer service and responsiveness was great. Thats where the positives end.The cost of the oil change was roughly $90. I typically pay $60 and so was surprised, but it was a convenient location for me. They said for the price they are going to look over the entire car for issues or other required maintenance work.When I returned to pick up the car, they asked when I last changed my oils and engine filter. If they indeed were inspecting the entire car, checking for a dirty engine filter is trivial. They could have definitely looked for signs of darkening of many of the fluids. So my guess is that nobody inspected anything beyond doing an oil change - which is fine, but then dont overcharge and claim you are inspecting the entire vehicle.Also, there is just a feeling of constant upsell. Looking for issues, recommending this, recommending that. My car hums. I maintain it well. Yet fluids, air filter, spark plugs all of a sudden came into play during this visit.The biggest problem though is that when I got home, I noticed a large, deep scratch, roughly 12 in length on the lower part of the car on the passenger side. My car is not new by any stretch and it has its fair share of scratches (mostly surface scratches only). But this is my pride and joy and I know every scratch on this car like the back of my hand. I see that side of the car every time I leave my house to go to my car. That scratch never existed before taking it to the Car Doctor.However, after some back and forth they said they had reviewed video, spoke to their technician, yada, yada, yada and that scratch wasnt there when it left the garage. So how did it get there? While driving home someone stuck out a screw driver and scratched my car? Bah.They did offer to introduce me to garages they know where I could possibly get a discounted rate to fix the scratch. I dont trust them or anyone they would introduce me to.In reviewing comments, I noticed that there have been others who have claimed damage to their vehicles. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck ... you decide, but Im not going back.

Arianne and the team at The Car Doctor need to become your go-to car shop! You heard it here first. Jiffy Lube recommended us and were very grateful they did. We look forward to giving them our business and spreading their praises to the masses. They listened to us and vauled our time and budget. Very detailed, organized and professional. I felt like I left my Car in the hands of a relative. Thank you Car Doctor for making our car well again!

We have been using the Car Doctor for decades and have been very happy with the quality of services we have received, their diagnostic services and their warranty. They are always honest about their work. I highly recommend the Car Doctor for anyone who is beyond the warranty on their vehicle from the manufacturer. They have kept our cars running for hundreds of thousands of miles.

My husband dropped his car off for an oil change at his 8 am appointment. They called at 4 pm, still hadn’t done the oil change, and said that there was close to THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS worth of issues with the car. We had been experiencing zero issues and never even asked them to inspect the car, so we were floored. They went through the entire car from the brakes to the engine and recommended replacing more than a dozen things, which again we never asked them to look at, and none of the things the recommended would have been ones they just happened across when changing the oil.We took it elsewhere to get a second opinion. The dealership looked over everything in the car, specifically looking for the issues they told us about and found absolutely nothing wrong with it. These people are crooks!!!!!!! They just want money, even when things do not need to be replaced. Do not go here!Edited in response to the below response: Matt, you must be looking a different customers file. We were in two weeks ago, and my husband doesnt have the same last name as me, so you must be looking at a different profile, with the details you provided. We did not have any sort of oil leak, it was more than $1,000 just to fix one issue and as we had to take the car in before work, I assure you that it was 8 am, not 3 pm. The pricing was on the high side, but not unreasonable, but my objection is that your technician made it sound like it was barely safe to drive home, which was not the case. Nevertheless I do appreciate your response.

It is a pleasure to work with The Car Doctor! Grateful for how thorough, professional and personable they are. They are always accommodating to fit my schedule and even helped me out last week with a rental car while they completed additional service. It is evident they aim to provide quality, fair service that actually values me as a human being. Genuine customer service is hard to find in this business, let alone in the DMV area, and Arianne and Matt are the best! I look forward to continuing my business with them.

Arianne and the staff at Car Doctor were beyond professional when I had to bring my car in! It had died (the battery) and I was in the unfortunate position of having to get it looked at without really getting to look around beforehand. Luckily I came across the Car Doctor and saw they had a ton of great reviews and decided this would be my best bet. And after having my car serviced here I now have a go-to that I dont have to even think twice about!Arianne walked me through the entire process and she could tell I was really anxious about how much it would cost plus how long it would take. She gave me updates throughout the process and afterward had given me an estimate of what my car might need in the future based on price and timeline. I never felt any pressure about being upsold and the price was what I had expected. I left with just the services I needed at the time and have a plan in place to get the remainder of the bigger ticket items knocked out over the coming year.***Bonus*** My Prius V has the back arranged for my doggie pack to have the maximum amount of space with the seats pulled up and some plyboards, rubber mat and blankets overtop for them to ride in comfort. Usually whenever I need to bring my car in at other car shops they throw everything back in there and I have to rearrange it back which I dont expect them to put back as its a lot of hassle. I was really floored that they had put the time to put everything back where it belonged, it was not expected on my part but definitely made my whole day that they took the extra time to do that for a customer.I will be coming here so long as Im living in the area; they are beyond professional in the services they provide, they treat you like family!

Matt is a consummate professional and always delivers a high level of customer service. When I requested assistance to select a good used first vehicle for my son, Matt’s advice and the shop’s detailed inspection protocols made the final selection a breeze.

I have tried multiple shops in this area and remain the customer of none but the Car Doctor!I have worked with Matt since he was at a previous location, and he is the only person in this area I trust with my vehicles. He and his team give me the thorough information I want - and need - about the state of my vehicles (with pictures), as well as recommended timeframes for the repairs. In addition, I receive detailed answers to all of my questions. This means that I can work within my budget while maintaining my vehicles in pristine condition.Every friend of mine that has used the Car Doctor after my recommendation has told me they were very happy with the service.I highly recommend the Car Doctor!

I was impressed with the attention the staff provided to my 1984 Nissan 300ZX. You will not be disappointed bringing your car here. I don’t know if Matt Bolton is the owner but he sure understood what my car needed. I am the only owner of the 300ZX and after 36 years of ownership i found a place to trust with maintenance. Maybe the fact they use BG products which i like in my car convinced me to give them a try. Glad i did.

Matt and Henry provided timely attentive and high-quality service. I bought my son an old vehicle—his first car. For safety reasons, I wanted a complete inspection to identify urgent repairs, as well as near term and long term maintenance. They did a thorough job and performed the required maintenance at a fair price. But it was all of the little extras that really impressed me: follow up phone calls, detailed mechanical discussions, patience answering all of my questions, and the great attitude, not to mention the personal note and goodies left in the vehicle!

The team at The Car Doctor is excellent! I could immediately tell how passionate and knowledgeable Matt is about cars. He took extra time to explain how certain functions worked on my car, and why specific services were necessary. Several people consulted and worked on my car, so I felt confident that it was in good hands. There was never any pressure on me to have extra work done, and Matt even let me know that I could probably wait a bit on certain things to save some money. My car drives noticeably smoother after taking it to them!

This is the ONLY place you should take your car. They are that good. Henry at the front desk is a pro. Car Doctor tells you exactly what needs to be repaired. They even text you specific details on recommended repairs. Incredibly transparent and professional process.Ive never been to a more professional shop. I really hope they expand and open other shops. If they do, Henry should be the one teaching everyone. He has the customer service and repair knowledge. He simplifies everything and doesnt belittle the average person with little to no car repair experience.

Expert mechanics. I have been taking my vehicles to the Car Doctor for over 10 years and they have always been able to diagnose and repair my vehicles right the first time. Most impressive about my experience in having my cars repaired by the Car Doctor is their honesty in what work needs to be done. On one occasion, the right lower control arm needed to be replaced. I inquired about having both control arms replaced at the same time. I was told that replacing both control arms was not necessary and a waste of money. Honesty and quality work are important factors in a repair shop.Mike

I came to The Car Doctor for a second opinion after my car failed state inspection elsewhere for an exhaust leak and was quoted $1000+ for a catalytic converter replacement. Im so glad I did because the guys here confirmed that I did have an exhaust leak and that it wasnt worth the money to completely replace the catalytic converter (my car is 15yo). They referred me to Meineke Car Care Center to have the leak welded instead. Ultimately, I paid 1/3 of the original quote and Ive never had a better experience at a garage. Im so happy that I found trusted local mechanics who I would highly recommend. Thanks guys!

I have been taking my cars to the Car Doctor over the last 5 years and have always been treated with great customer service. Making appointments have always been easy and the service they provide has been the best I have ever had from any mechanic. If there is any additional issues with my car outside of what i brought it in for, they always inform me immediately and let me know if it is a critical issue or if it is something I can delay and I always appreciate that honesty. I will continue to come back for all my car maintenance.

Review №49

These people seem very professional, helpful and kind at first glance but are far from that. I took my 2016 vehicle here for a state inspection with no obvious issues and was told I needed to shell out $1,500+ to fix parts that Ive never heard any concerns about from previous mechanics. They wouldnt pass my vehicle without fixing these things. It sounded VERY fishy.Sure enough, after taking it to TWO other mechanics, the only thing I had done was an oil change. After these issues (such as a worn motor mount) were not brought up, I asked the mechanics directly to analyze these parts. They said there were no issues whatsoever.Bottom line is that these people are dishonest and will be reported to the BBB. I wish I would have put a camera in my car. I do NOT recommend them.Pictures of inspection are listed as proof.

Review №61

Finding a good, trustworthy shop is tough to do. Especially in the a big urban area like DC. I grew up in rural PA and it was simple to find a small, reliable, and honest shop. Not so much here. The Car Doctor is the exception to that rule.Our family has taken both of our cars (Honda Accord and Jeep Cherokee) here after finding it on Yelp. The Car Doctor has extremely honest, reliable, and efficient service. Steve always communicates to you like a normal person (not simply someone cutting a check) and will do whatever it takes to get the job done. They also will not take the easy (read: expensive) way out to take care of an issue.I am not a regular reviewer on Google or any other site for that matter. But we have had such good experiences here that we made it a point to share our thoughts. I would recommend this place to friends, family, or anyone in the DC area looking for a reliable and honest repair shop.

Its always hard to find trustworthy and honest technicians in the service industry, but many of us find that to be especially true with mechanics. I was pleasantly surprised to have finally found MY mechanic in The Car Doctor. I first used the company because they are conveniently located right across the street from my apartment building and only 2 minutes away from my job, but I keep using them because I trust their diagnoses and I trust that theyll take care of me to the absolute best of their ability. Steve has always been fair, honest, straight-forward and quite a pleasure to work with. I find them to be competitively priced, although you cannot put a price on this level of service and care and the peace of mind I have when I leave my car with them!

I recently moved from Vermont to Washington D.C. I have a 2013 Kia Optima with approximately 113,000 miles, and I let my car go FAR too long before getting service. I didnt want to go to the dealer and thought I would eventually get back to my 20-year-trusted mechanic back home. Well, when the brakes started grinding I turned to Yelp and found The Car Doctor. The experience was wonderful from the moment I walked into the moment they delivered my car back in perfect working order. The price seemed fair, and everything was explained in detail. The was no pressure, and I was given clear options as to what had to happen right away and what could wait. Having a mechanic, you can trust to both fix your car and not make you feel like an idiot is essential. Ive finally found mine here in the DMV!

The car doctor was there in our time of need ;-). We were welcomed by a friendly face and clean restroom.

I have brought our cars (VW, Honda, Ford, Inifiniti, Acura, Lexus, and Toyota) for the past 20+ years. What I value about The Car Doctor, through some transitions over the years is that I have ALWAYS been able to trust them. I bring them a laundry list of items the dealership says I need to repair and maybe 2-3 are actually required... and even on the two occasions when I had to bring the car back cause the repair did not seem to work... Steve has been more than fair in how they handled a second visit. Also, now that they match online tire prices (most of the time), I can get my tires from them too. This place is the epitome of great local/personal service. The best.
