I have gone to this shop a number of times and they are amazing. No BS, just simple facts. Took my car in with a number of issues and the price tag on repairs was great. He gave me an assessment of outstanding issues that was direct and accurate (as these are issues I was aware of previously) and I felt absolutely no pressure about the using their shop, which was refreshing. I had bad tires among other things and the mechanic was honest and said I could get the tires for a better deal elsewhere. Great place - will be coming back for all my future work.

I had my 2019 Nissan Pathfinder towed here after breaking down and reading the reviews, which solidified my decision. Wahid was amazing and kept me informed from start to finish. My driveshaft broke ( not sure andhow this happened) I was upset my policy didnt cover anything including my rental. Capital Auto Care provided me with such great service and price, that I calmed down and waited for the work to be done. Wahid also called about my brakes and got those done also. My truck drives like its brand new again! I will definitely use them and refer them to everyone I know! Thanks guys!

Good auto shops are hard to find. I am really glad to find this one. Wahid the owner is really pleasant to work with. The parking lot is nice and big which is rare in Arlington.

Do your homework and avoid this business!!We saw Wahid for a punctured tire because he was highly recommended on Google and in local community groups online. We were told he was reasonable with fair prices.We ended up needing all our tires replaced and he gave us a quote for a set new tires at $240 a tire plus installation. We are in the middle of being posted away from the area with Defence and with two small kids in the middle of a pandemic, we don’t have a lot of time. I think a lot of people are in this position at the moment. We trusted that he would provide a fair quote based on his reviews and reputation and so agreed to the work to be done the same day.Thinking about it overnight the cost didn’t seem right. Some research confirmed we were sold tires that retail for $160. His local competitors (NTB) sell these same tires for $180.We had a friend call and ask for a quote. She was quoted $240 a tire for a better set of tires. Seems like Wahid charges whatever he feels like on the day, regardless of the product and quality.When I called to discuss this he said he buys the tires he sold us for $200 and needs to make some money off them. He said if we liked other businesses prices we should shop with them; absolutely we will be doing this in the future and encourage other people to do this too! In the end he offered a ‘big discount’ on our next set of tires. Needless to say there will never be a next set of tires from him based on the service this time.In the end we paid $320 more for a set of tires than market price. No dispute that we agreed to having the work done. Our mistake was trusting Wahid to provide a fair and reasonable quote.Do yourself a favor and support a different local business.

Great service and very honest. Wahid is a pleasure to speak with and has been proven to be very trustworthy. I would recommend him to anyone in need. He is willing to work with your budget if you’re really just trying to keep it running. A+ service.

Be aware of what he will offer you and let him explain. Price is too high for the parts and labor. Probably higher than the price in 4s store.

I took my car here based on a roommates recommendation. My car had a mystery problem and they were so gracious in spending a week looking at it and figuring everything out. I recently bought a new car and they were the people I trusted to look it over! As long as Im in the area Ill recommend this place and take my vehicles here. Great, fair service and friendly people! 5 stars.

First time visit - I came in based on the high Google ratings and was not disappointed. The service was outstanding as they were able to attend to my vehicle immediately. Costs were very reasonable and I did not feel up sold at all. For issues related to my car that they could not tackle, they recommended me to other repair shops near my home and even provided me their contact information. Will be coming back.

Fantastic service. I was able to drop my car last night after work for a check engine light. I got a call this morning that theyd diagnosed it and received a quote for a faulty valve and an hour of labor. By around 2pm this afternoon, I got a call for pickup. The quality of customer service is unparalleled for this area, and Im impressed by the speed and quality of both service and customer care. 10/10 would recommend.

Their price is too high. For the parts they recommend, you could find it same as or even higher than the price in 4s store. Crazy

Had a good experience here. Getting your brakes repaired isnt a fun experience but at least they made it pretty painless. Wahid is a great guy and saved my torn up rotors to explain to me what went wrong and why they needed to be replaced. Quick service.

Ive been going to Capitol Auto Care since moving to the area a few years ago.The service that I receive is always outstanding.I know my way around a vehicle and have always tried to do my own maintenance when time and space allowed, but there are always those instances when its best to let someone else handle the job.I always go to Capitol Auto Care knowing the repair will be done right the first time, on time and at the price quoted.I highly recommend Capitol Auto Care.

Excellent place! I just come there by looking up the Google Map and it turns out the high score doesn’t lie to me! Wahid is really friendly and check the problems of my car very carefully. The price is reasonable and it totally worths it! I will come back next time.

Review №22

It’s always hard to know when to trust an auto mechanic shop but through multiple interactions for 3 vehicles, I feel that Wahid and his shop provide great service and stand behind their work. Most recently we had an issue with one of our vehicles which took some time to diagnose and Capitol was able to repair it but Wahid was honest with us that the root cause was indeterminate. He was up front and gave me options to consider. Highly recommend this shop for your automotive needs.

In many car places you get the sense you are being ripped off or that there is a secret minimum the repair shop needs before they will release the car back to you. Not the case for Capitol Auto where they seem to understand being honest and fair is good for business which I appreciate.

The shop was recommended by a nearby place that couldnt fit me in that day. Glad it it happened. Wahid, the owner, met me with a warm and cheerful smile and asked about my problem. After explaining my situation he said hed take a look but wasnt sure if he could fit me in going into a holiday weekend. Wahid broke down the repair, parts options and labor costs. I was able to get my vehicle repaired and at a reasonable price. I will continue to use Capitol Auto Care for my repair needs.

The boys over at Capitol Auto Care replaced the timing belt + water pump in my Audi A4 for a fraction of the dealership quote. Wahid was knowledgeable and friendly just like the reviews described. Plus, one of the mechanics gave me rides to and from my office in Crystal City.Thank you.

Thanks wahid. You saved me $700 on my AC repair.The repair shop near my house in silver spring was asking $1750 to replace the compressor and condenser. I was like hell no.As previous customer of wahid I knew he would give me an honest opinion, and he eventually found out that my condenser was just fine since there were no leaks.I still go see him since I moved away. Honest and high quality work. Highly recommend his ship.V

We have been taking our cars to Wahid for at least the last 8 years for everything from major issues to oil changes. While I was this morning for an urgent issue with the brakes on my Ford, I met someone whose family has been bringing their cars to Wahid since the early 1990s (back when he worked at a gas station in Springfield). Wahid and his team are always friendly, helpful, and honest. His prices are good, and we we will never take our cars anywhere else as long as we live in this area. If I could give Wahid 6 stars, I would.

What a great experience! I had the misfortune of hitting a pothole so hard that it cracked my radiator and I broke down right in front of Capitol Auto Care by some twist of fate. I was at the mercy of being broken down far from my regular trusted mechanic. Wahid and his guys were nice enough to take a look at my dilemma and quickly diagnosed the cracked radiator, which had emptied my radiator in only two blocks. Wahid was very friendly and gave me a rough estimate on the spot which was quite reasonable. He had the car fixed within 24 hours at the very reasonable price as promised which was great considering I had to get a whole new radiator. The shop is kept in immaculate condition and you can tell that Wahid and his crew really care about their customers and their facility. I would highly recommend Capitol Auto Care and would not hesitate to return for any of my service needs.

Owner Wahid and mechanic Jabir were very helpful and easy to work with. My best friends vehicle developed symptoms during the trip here from NJ. While the guys were so busy that no repair appointment was available for several days, they offered to drive and assess the vehicle for its safety and reliability to make the return trip. I brought the vehicle in directly, rode with Jabir to describe the symptoms while he drove it to replicate them. Discussed past repairs made to the vehicle. After that he accessed the vehicles OBD computer to back up the observations. A misfiring cylinder, the vehicle could make the 130mi return trip safely.Ill pass along the contact information for the shop to my father and local acquaintances as a good place to do business with.

I take both of my BMWs here for annual inspection. Wahid is a stand up, honest, and professional guy. Hes extremely trustworthy and goes the extra mile. His rates are more than fair. While Ive never had any major repairs done here, my girlfriend needs some and well eventually get the car to Wahid. We did take her car here to have tires mounted. She drives a honda CRV with the 5th wheel on the back. We only bought 4 new tires and asked Washid to put the tire in best condition on the rear to be used as a spare. Wouldnt you know that when we picked the car up, there was a brand new, 5th tire, on the rear of her CRV. To say is plainly and simply, Wahid gave her a brand new tire for free!Wahid is great, the shop does good work, they are honest, trustworthy, and charge extremely reasonable rates. Im very glad this shop is near my house and I will continue using Wahid and recommending people his way.
