Silver Spring Auto Repair

I brought in my 1999 Altima (with almost 61,000 miles on it) for a periodic maintenance check. They did that within a matter of hours (I had left the car for them to finish working on it by the end of the day)-- and they spotted a future important repair: my five year old battery (past its usual life anyway)was close to dying! Of course, I had it replaced, and thanks to Allen for catching that before the battery died entirely! The car now drives very smoothly.

Wilson said the work was excellent.

Bruce said this business is the best.

Our '95 E350 had a ABS problem, amongst others, that our previous garage had not been able to isolate or find parts to attempt a repair on it. Allen nailed the diagnosis the first time out had the vehicle on the road two days earlier that requested and best of all came in under budget.

I appreciate the fact that the service was honest and upfront. The waiting room was clean and uncluttered. They seemed to be busy, which is a good sign. My State Inspection took 90 minutes and I was given the estimate of one hour. I recommend that you lead with the longest possible time and when you are finished ahead of that time it is a "Wow" for the customer. Mr. Henry mentioned that he liked my car and I believe he is a gentleman and it came from his heart. I like this request and the offer of providing a service history for each visit. My review is 4.5 stars although I only put 4 because I cannot put 4.5. I look forward to having my car serviced here soon. Sincerely, Ron Foster

Juan said his vehicle was fixed in a timely manner.

A very smooth maintenance visit: we dropped off the car, all needed things were done, and the car now rides better than before!

Once again, Allen Automotive has proved that they are the finest car mechanic shop in the greater DC area. I had to have the car tuned with short notice, Allen's employees made me feel as if I was the ONLY customer they had, instead of squeezed in amongst the other customers. The car was tuned and inspected in a day. I have moved out of the DC area, but will gladly return to have my car in for Allen's service.

Took my car in for an annual check-up. They found problems than I expected but were able to show and explain the reasons for various repairs including preventive ones. Even if cost some times are high at least you know you are not scammed into unnecessary repairs and not overcharged for what is done.
