“

The hype is real. They have a phenomenal team to tackle any German auto.

I called C.A.R.S. and the guys were so upfront and honest. They quoted a price and a time frame and kept both! I honestly couldn't be happier with this place. Talked to them about getting some after market stuff done to my car and will definitely coming to talk to these guys first!

Sean and Cameron were great! I had my vehicle taken to other shops that couldn't diagnose a check engine light. After spending over 1100 dollars in repairs, Cameron and Sean were able to repair the car and also show me the part that was bad. They are very honest and helpful. I recommend their shop for anyone that's looking for honest reliable repairs. Thanks guys for your honest service.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The service is absolutely amazing from start to finish. The staff is friendly, honest, and truly cares about getting the job done right. They take the time to explain what’s going on with your car, give fair prices, and never try to upsell you on things you don’t need. Every time I’ve brought my vehicle in, they’ve gone above and beyond to make sure it’s running perfectly. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality is second to none. I honestly wouldn’t trust my car with anyone else — this is the only place I’ll go for repairs or maintenance. If you want top-notch service and peace of mind knowing your car is in good hands, this is the shop for you!

These guys are the best. They have been taking care of my 20 year old Porsche for over a year now. They are really smart, and they are really good at what they do. Anyone with any German car would be smart to get to know these guys. They are honest and most importantly the Do what they say they are going to do.

Nothing but a positive experience every time I take my vehicles to C.A.R.S. Cameron and Sean are wonderful people and truly care about your vehicle. Honesty and transparency are top notch here. Would recommend anyone to get their vehicles serviced here!

Thorough, timely and reasonable rates. New ownership as of 2017 is terrific! It's worth the short trek over from Falls Church for all my cars! From Ram, to Mazda, to BMW, they all come here.

Just wanted to "drop" a review here for C.A.R.S. We recently had our Mazda 2016 CX5 in service at our dealer, (who we have never had an issue with). The technician at the dealership informed us the front bushing and suspension was in need of replacements. Without repairs they stated the vehicle would not be safe to operate. We were a bit skeptical so we went to C.A.R.S. to get a second opinion and, if required, to save on a substantial estimate we received from the dealership. Spoke to Cameron on drop-off and explained the situation. He promised they would examine the vehicle the same day and let us know. Well, after just a few hours, Cameron dropped me an email to let me know Sean had taken a look and our suspension was in good shape and was not in need of repairs - the bushings and suspension were in nominal shape for the age, and mileage, we have on the vehicle - and it is, indeed, safe to operate. This is a great relief as we were planning to drive a bit in a week or so. My wife and I have decided further maintenance will conducted with C.A.R.S. These days it is nice to find two hard working, honest, owners. Thanks again to them both.

This is a great BMW repair shop with two automotive enthusiasts in Sean and Cameron. They have maintained and tuned my 2000 BMW 750IL, from intake leaks, to suspension, to EKAT problems, from routine to extraordinary they have totally impressed me with their expertise. They also maintain my 2016 750i. In six states and 15 years of BMW ownership this the best Indy BMW shop. My highest recommendation--the best value and service of any BMW service firm in Northern VA, DC and Maryland.

I had my BMW X5 in for service at Chantilly Auto Repair Service due to a major oil leak and broken hatch opener.

Their team was very easy to deal with and was understanding of my tight timeline for repairs. I was given a free second opinion on the repairs quoted from the dealer and they were even willing to perform a software update at a fraction of the cost.

I was very happy to have my car repaired and back on the road quicker then I expected. Also the total repair cost was much much lower than the dealer.
