Avoid Jindal Auto Shop at All Costs I brought my car to Jindal Auto Shop for a simple lifter replacement after two lifters failed. This job does NOT require the engine to be removed, yet they kept my car for two months and returned it to me in far worse condition. When I finally picked up my car, the engine was ticking loudly all over, and instead of fixing the issue, the manager told me to “drive it and maybe the noise will go away.” Completely unprofessional and unsafe. To make matters worse, the manager seems to know the business side, but he has no real knowledge of automotive repair. He relies entirely on the technicians for everything, and it shows in the quality of work and the lack of accountability. Since picking up my vehicle, I have contacted them multiple times, and nothing has been resolved. The tall guy in the office keeps telling me to contact the manager and says he’s “not dealing with it.” Meanwhile, the engine is now knocking badly, and the shop refuses to fix the damage they caused. I later discovered: The engine had been removed unnecessarily The water pump was removed, even though it’s belt driven, not chain driven The engine was not mounted properly on the driver side, leaving it unsafe to drive My catalytic converter code keeps reappearing, which never happened before. My right axle broke twice due to engine not being mounter correctly. The car now knocks heavily and can’t go over 1500–2000 RPM Despite all of this, the shop refuses to take any responsibility. My engine is now completely ruined, and I’m left with a vehicle that is unsafe and undriveable due to their negligence. Save your money, time, and your vehicle do NOT trust Jindal Auto Shop..

Jindal Automotive provided me with excellent service at a very reasonable price. They were fast and efficient. I would recommend anyone looking for quality service on their vehicle to consider these guys. They fully replaced my engine and it's running great.

Had my car serviced here for emergency repairs and I can see why GEICO recommends this shop. Communication was first class, both between the insurance company and their technicians. Shawn provided stellar customer service throughout the repair process. Would recommend to anyone looking for transparent and professional auto work.

We’ve been going to Jindal Andre for years. They’ve maintained and repaired all kinds of cars we’ve had, foreign and domestic, gas and hybrid. They offer terrific service and fair prices. They recently did some bodywork on our Pacifica after a fender bender, fixing all the little nicks and scratches and dents from over the years. The car looks like new! I couldn’t more enthusiastically recommend this shop.

Jindal Andre Automotive has always given me straightforward information about what needs to be repaired and the options for doing so. And they have been fast doing the work. I recently brought a car in on a Saturday and had it back the same day.

I’ve never had a more pleasant, transparent, or helpful experience with a car mechanic. I brought my car in after AAA diagnosed it with a head gasket leak (a very expensive fix!), but Mohammed was able to fit me in quickly and ran multiple tests. He determined that the real issue was a broken thermostat preventing coolant from circulating through the engine (a much cheaper fix!). Not only did he explain everything clearly, but he also sent videos showing each test—describing what he was doing, what he was seeing, and how it proved the thermostat was stuck. On top of that, he identified a few other issues with the car and sent additional videos explaining them, even advising me on which repairs were urgent and which could wait. Mohammed was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. My car is running great now, and I’ll definitely be returning to see him at Jindal Andre Auto!

I took my truck to this shop. Great customer service, quick reply, honest, and trustworthy. Kept me up-to-date on everything that is being done. Varun has great customer service; I knew my truck was in good hands. Being a woman, going to a shop is scary because sometimes they don’t tell you the truth, but Varun was so honest and helpful.

I had my Toyota Prius repaired at this garage after an accident, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. They did a fantastic job fixing all the necessary damage and made the car look and run like new again. The work was done efficiently, and the price was very economical compared to other estimates I received. I really appreciated their transparency and attention to detail. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality repairs without breaking the bank.

I own a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude that was experiencing engine overheating issues. Per the recommendation of my warranty company, I took the vehicle to Jindal-Andre Automotive Services. They performed a diagnostic and informed me that the radiator and upper radiator hose needed replacement, providing an estimate of nearly $1,800. I declined the repair and was charged $186 for the diagnostic. Subsequently, I took my vehicle to a trusted mechanic recommended by a friend. He identified that the issue was not related to the radiator or radiator hose and was able to resolve the problem in under an hour. I returned to Jindal-Andre Automotive to request a refund for the inaccurate diagnostic, but have been met with evasive responses and no resolution. Based on my experience, I would advise others to proceed with caution when dealing with this shop.

I was hesitant at first in bringing my Mercedes benz to Jindal-Andre automotive because of some of the reviews i had read. But i had a great experience at this mechanic shop. Phil did an excellent job knowledgeable, thorough, and efficient. The entire team was very professional, friendly and the service was quick. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable auto service!

It was my very first time service with Jindai. My 2015 town and country had a knock sound from the engine due to bad lifter and rocker. My local mechanic wanted my just drive the car until the engine completely broke down. Luckily i found Jindal who know how to fix this kind of issue. It literally saved my minivan from graveyard just after 100k mils. The owner/Manager Sanjay really provided the excellent customer service with great communication so I would know exactly the progress of the repair. And the cost of the rebuilding engine was a fraction compare to what the dealer might be charging. With further recommendations to the van, i feel that i just had a brand new car after the shop. Sanjay really looked after the customer without overcharge or over fixing the car. It has been over 4 months, no more knocking sound and the car drived like a new one. One recognition to Sanjay was that i will they have a seond location in Springfield VA so i don't have to drive through DC.

A True Life-Saver! I had an incredibly frustrating experience with Victory Toyota, where my 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross sat for over 2 months without being properly diagnosed or repaired. Despite charging me, they failed to fix the issue. The main problem was DTC code C11782A – Multi-Axis Acceleration Sensor Stuck in Range, which they couldn’t calibrate correctly. The car also had several communication errors and issues with the front recognition camera, steering angle sensor, and ADAS system. Due to this unresolved issue, I lost my job as I couldn’t commute, and the insurance company took away the rental vehicle. I had no choice but to seek help elsewhere—even if that meant traveling over 5 hours from West Virginia. That’s when I found Jindal Andre Automotive Services in Washington, D.C. Let me tell you—they went above and beyond. Their team quickly diagnosed the vehicle and provided a complete breakdown of the problem. They successfully: •\tProgrammed and calibrated the ADAS system •\tCalibrated the front recognition camera •\tPerformed steering angle sensor calibration •\tFixed the alignment •\tResolved DTC C11782A and all communication errors (U-codes) •\tDelivered the fully repaired vehicle in just 3 days I finally got my car back in safe, drivable condition after months of stress. The difference between the dealership and this shop was night and day. Jindal Andre Automotive Services didn’t just repair my car—they restored my peace of mind. If your vehicle has complex calibration issues or ADAS faults that dealerships can’t figure out, this is the shop to trust. Thank you to the team at Jindal Andre for your honesty, professionalism, and top-tier skills.

Very accommodating business with fast and quality work. Shawn is excellent!!! Highly recommend. Before and after photo attached. I opted out of repainting due to time constraints. Was in and out in 15 minutes.

I initially visited this shop after Mercedes quoted me over $100 in labor to replace my headlight bulb, a task I knew would only take about 5 minutes. After reading their positive reviews, I decided to give them a try. They quickly installed the bulb and only charged me $10. Impressed by their service, I returned when I needed my brakes done. Their customer service was excellent—they ordered the parts right away and promptly contacted me when they arrived. The brake work was top-notch, and again, they charged me about half of what Mercedes would have. Overall, great service and outstanding customer care!

I’ll recommend anyone that needs work on their car to come here. I’ve been coming here for a little over a year. Each time I come they resolve any issues fast and affordable. Sanjay and the team do a great job I’ll continue to get repairs done here.
