Tony's Auto Repair

Living in Florida, there are certain things you would never know about your car. For example, up until I recently drove to DC, I had absolutely no clue my heater wasn't working—the blizzard I drove into finally tipped me off to that problem. Being that far away from home and having car problems is the worst. But Tony is easily one of the most (if not the most) honest and excellent mechanics I've met. I won't go so far as to say I'm glad I had car problems because it gave me the opportunity to meet Tony (driving in 20-degree weather with no heater is awful). I will, however, say that I'm incredibly grateful I lucked into finding him when I got to DC, and anybody and everybody should reach out to him with any mechanic needs.

Came in around 1000 due to car having dead battery, as it was about time for it given it was apx 4 years old. They had the new battery in stock and was able to replace it within about an hour. Great service and highly recommend!

Best auto shop in DC. Tony is always timely, honest, and charges a fair price. This is the only auto shop I trust in DC!

Had a great experience with Tony! He returned my call quickly, told me bring in my car right away, and then called me not long after with an assessment and estimate. Tony worked quickly, and then showed me my old brakes and explained what he replaced when I picked my car up the next day.

A fair and honest mechanic who has helped me with battery testing, oil changes, and other maintenance. He does open 30 mins later usually than is listed on Google.

Came here after having a bad experience at Capitol Hill Auto Service close to Eastern Market. They were trying to upsell me literally $2K of repairs after I brought my car in for an oil change. Tony took me immediately, and he was communicative (calling me often about status of job and what he advises the car needs), and straightforward. In the end, I only needed a new brake, and Tony walked me through the reasoning and showed me in person the poor condition so I was informed (very unlike the other place ahem). He also seems kind and honest. I would go back again. Thanks, Tony!

I brought my car to Tony after hearing my brakes squeak, he got back to me quickly and let me know that the brakes just had to be adjusted and that he serviced the front and the rear brakes. He did a thorough review and did not over charge or do more work than needed, he seems like a genuine guy and I appreciated his honesty. Will be going back here again, his shop is conveniently located close to L street and is a quick walk from the NOMA neighborhood.

Tony’s great. Straightforward and communicative. I usually call ahead to make sure it’s not too busy when I need a tune up. He is tucked away but in a perfect location. I usually walk to union market for a snack and coffee to wait while my car is serviced. Highly recommend!!

Tony is great, I've taken my car to him several times for minor work and every time he goes above and beyond for fixing my problem, by that I mean you can come in with a busted mirror, and Tony will handle that, plus make sure tire pressure is all good, refill your wiper fluid, and use his mechanic eye to quickly make sure there's no other problems going on for no extra charge. He's a good honest mechanic who's friendly, works affordably and quickly, and is truly looking out for his customers.

Tony fit me in right away from a brake and rotor repair. He called with the estimate and talked through the process in depth before beginning any work. He never tried to push other services on me, and he finished my repair very quickly. When I arrived to pick up my car, he explained in a straightforward way what he had changed and why it was important. Highly recommend his work!!

Tony was able to replace my battery within an hour of calling, he was prompt, attentive and informative. He went out of his way to provide helpful information about a warranty even though battery was purchased elsewhere. The kind of service that you just can't find anymore- even helped us back out safely and get on our way. Will be taking our car here for service!

Tony is a great guy, and has been a mechanic for over 30 years. He was thorough in his evaluation of my issue and went above and beyond to make sure my car was ready in time for a road trip I had planned. Highly recommend!

I had a very good experience with Tony's Auto Repair. Tony was able to get my junkmobile of a vehicle into good condition and kept the costs within my budget. While it's a little hard to find, the shop his tucked away down Congress St. and you just have to wander into the garage, and one of the mechanics will take care of you. For me, I told Tony all of my needs and he was very capable of both making the repairs and dealing with the "quirks" of running my car. Sometimes, mechanics will try to scam you or make you think there's more wrong with your car than there actually is, but Tony explains all of his repair processes with you and his reasoning behind the repairs he wants to make. He doesn't do anything to your vehicle without your consent. After, he shows you the problems with the part(s) in detail if he can. This was greatly appreciated because I always try to learn what I can about cars, and it helps me affirm that I'm not being tricked. Further, I had a few constraints to my budget but the shop worked with me to make sure I could afford the costs of my vehicle. When the work was done, it took a little under a week to get everything done (and there was a fair amount) and my care drove amazingly! TL;DR: Tony's Auto Repair is an honest, affordable repair shop that is a good value. You'll be happy with the results of your repair.

Fair prices and good work. Not a scammer guy and doesn't push for the upsell. Trustworthy in a day when that's hard to find.

Tony is really nice and made sure I understood what he was doing and how much it would cost before doing so. I felt his pricing was fair and left very satisfied. Ordered and replaced my alternator.

I called to get a quote on an Oil Change. The guy I spoke to asked me questions surrounding the Mindel and year of my vehicle. I told him that I need a standard oil change and he proceeded to tell me that I needed a synthetic oil change. I told him that I know what my car needs and has been getting since I purchased it. This guy tells me that since I’m telling him what my car needs to take it somewhere else then. I followed up with “so this is how you do business” and I subsequently hung up the phone. Seems like he was trying to get me to pay more for a service that I didn’t need. I definitely wouldn’t even look in the direction of this greedy, unethical business. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!
