Very knowledgeable and friendly. I took a 2006 Mini for a prepurchase inspection, and they gave me a very detailed report that helped me from buying pretty clunker. Highly recommend!! And would go again!!
IMA Motorwerke is a fantastic shop. Ivan knows everything that could be known about Porsches. They are very efficient, and no job is too small or too large for them. The shop is highly professional and affordable for the services they perform. I cannot recommend them more.
Scheduled oil change completed in 2 hours. Staff is professional, friendly and competent. Took a chance based on their Bosch certification and half- priced service compared to the dealer and have no regrets. I feel confident that my Macan Turbo is in good hands.
Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, informative and professional.Definitely recommend IMA Motorwerke.
Ivan has great knowledge with Porsche and European vehicles. Definitely recommend them for vehicle maintenance, mods, ppi’s. Currently services my 981.
Highly recommend, very competent, prompt, competitive pricing and great staff. Definitely will return. You’re making the right decision by choosing this business for all your auto service needs!
Ivan and the boys replaced my 08 Jetta ignition and radiator. They did a great job and at a price below what Lindsay VW and Fairfax VW quoted. I trust Ivan and you should too its a family run operation that deserves your business.
I am so impressed with the quality and price of the work they performed. Car is like new again. I will never go to the dealer again.
Great shop, and great people. My 911 is in good hands. Ivan knows what he is doing and is passionate about these machines. I not only got to watch them work on my car through the large glass wall, it was also fun to check out some really cool project cars in various states of completion. When is the last time you had fun at a repair shop?
Great service and friendly staff. Prices were cheaper than a lot of the other places I called for a water pump and a carbon clean. The 2yr/24k mile warranty they include is also fantastic. Will be taking my GTI here again.
Had lowering spring installed on my car. They were professional and returned my car in a timely fashion. They took great care to make sure the installation was done right and was aligned.
Wheel alignment was technically good. However apparently it’s standard practice for the mechanic to take the car out for a test drive... not sure why. Mechanic was out for 10-15 minutes - I’ve never experienced that elsewhere, and the non-value add character at the front desk was rather defensive about it. So you decide if you want to take your high end german car there or not.
Ivan’s shop provides Excellent service. Excellent knowledge of my car( ‘07 AstonMartin Vantage). Ivan also rebuilt my ‘79 930 Turbo. Ivan is thorough in his evaluation of the problem and has the experience to fix the problem. I do not hesitate to bring my car here and neither should you. You will be happy you did. JAK
I was buying a specialty European car and used IMA to do a pre-buy inspection. Ivan was courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. He also saved me at least $2,000 dollars and probably more in repairs had I purchased it. Thank you to his whole crew, I would not hesitate in using him for any maintenance in the future for my vehicles. 5 stars from me.
Ivan and his team are the best. My go-to shop for my Cayman S.
Great job, reasonable price, nice guys! Repairs done quickly and great communications along the way. Highly recommend them.
Wonderful customer serviceStaff has a wealth of knowledge and is very informative about recommendationsReasonable prices
This was one of the best service experiences Ive had since owning a Lexus (fysa...Pohanka Lexus service center is one of the best around). Furthermore, when I initially reached out to IMA to inquire about servicing options, Ivan was super responsive and accommodating. I was fortunate to get my vehicle serviced with in a week of the brake warning alarm going off as (needless to say) this is a critical safety system. When I arrived at IMA yesterday morning, I noticed that the facility was VERY clean and well decorated. Not only that, but the garage was VERY clean and organized too. It reminded me of an auto museum. I was very impressed. To me, that is a clear sign that the people running IMA take PRIDE in what they do. The waiting area was cozy but well appointed. Oh boy, and the chairs were SO comfortable. I also REALLY liked being able to see my car being serviced during the appointment. Designing the facility to allow customers to view the inner workings of the service garage is a VERY clear and refreshing gesture....and that is that IMA Motorwerke is all about customer TRANSPARENCY. Being able to trust my mechanic is VERY important to me. Now that my vehicle warranty is officially ended, I plan to return to IMA Motorwerke for regular service work.I worked with Tyler. He was friendly, VERY articulate and professional. He even went above and beyond to repair a minor puncture in my rear left tire that I was completely unaware of. THAT is the type of service I NEVER received at Audi Silver Spring or Audi Chantily. I couldnt be happier to support this small business and give my money to a maintenance institution that not only authentically shows that they care about my vehicle but also about me...the driver.Heres to the beginning of a long and enduring service relationship with IMA Motorwerke. I consider you my new official Audi service provider.
Excellent service. They spent over an hour on the phone with me after I had them do a PPI on a Boxster. I was purchasing the car from out of state and they made me feel certain that I knew about all the issues the car had, down to the smallest details. HIGHLY recommend this shop.After I purchased the car I had IMA do the IMS bearing retrofit from LN Engineering. Ivan and his son called me just about every other day to keep my updated on the process and to ask if I had any questions. They did the whole job in under 4 days and the work they performed is flawless. Ivan even called me a few days after I picked up the car to ask if I was satisfied and if I had any questions.If you own a Euro car and are anywhere near Chantilly, VA--DO NOT go anywhere else for you work. I cant say enough good things about them.
Awesome experience!! Ivan explained everything.This is the first repair shop after several others that was able to pinpoint the problem and repair it in our Audi Q7. They did an excellent job and we will continue to take the rest of our vehicles here when they need service done. They were efficient and solved the problem which other shops stated that the problem was worse than what it really was!! Excellent Service!!
We have been taking our 2015 Porsche Macan S ever since the warranty expired. IMA Motorwerke is not only around 30-40 percent less expensive than Porsche dealers, the people there deliver excellent quality of work while paying personal attention to our automotive concerns. Quality of work based on honesty and transparency is the reason we will continue to take our cars to IMA. They can’t be beat.
These guys are superb at what they do. Pure car enthusiasts and without a doubt I can say my car was done properly. The staff were professional and friendly. The facility was inviting, clean, and pretty spectacular with all of the Porche/race cars they have. Talk to Ivan if you need your European car fixed, they do it all. Thanks again, Ivan. Ra
Ivan is very passionate about his business and the level of service they provide. He’ll work to ensure you walk way with your issue fixed.
Very professional...they are deep experts on the Porsche models.
Great service. Friendly and knowledgeable team, did what they said they would do. Also dropped my car off at my house after service was complete. Will definitely use again.
Excellent service and Great job, reasonable price, nice guys!
Several months ago, I paid more than $600 to have an oil change, air filter, and spark plugs change. Oil change alone was $200, exorbitant by any standard. I checked later with the dealer and it wouldve cost me $350 for the same thing. From now on, Im sticking to VW dealership. One thing: we were never quoted the price until final bill came. They seem to be doing quality work but the price is just too high.
I Didnt find the car that what I was looking for.
I own a 1996 Jaguar XJV12, I contacted 4 different shops (one was the Dealer) to help me get my car back on the road after being in storage for about 4 years.Ivan (owner of IMA) is the only one who responded to my cry for help.IMA provided me with a detailed explanation with photos of all the work that needed to be done and estimated cost. A follow up phone call was given to make sure I understood everything and to answer any questions I might have. This guy Ivan is sticklers for details.My car was ready a week before I thought it would be...My car is running great again! We still have a few tweaks to make but Im happy with the results...The mechanics know their stuff here.Everyone that I have dealt with at IMA are friendly, personable and professional. So, If you are looking for a shop that is honest and transparent about the work that needs to be done on your car, then this is definitely the shop for you.Thanks guys,you deserve every STAR up there!RT
Excellent ServiceThe staff were very attentive, they explained every step of the process and gave a thorough assess of my options and pointed out the best possible solution.I would highly recommend.
We went on a 25 day vacation and left our car at a local hotel. When we got back it wouldnt start. We used our insurance company to get someone out to give us a jump. The guy that arrived couldnt get the car started, even when he tried to jump it with cables to his car. They called a tow truck and he couldnt get it started so he took it to IMA. Ivan met us at the door and pushed our car in as soon as it was off the tow truck. They hooked up there equipment, and started it first try!! As they were checking out the car Ivan took us over to a local deli for lunch...wed left Santiago Chile the day before and were tired and hungry. The experience we had at IMA was truly professional, but with a personal touch and a great deal of compassion and friendliness.
As usual the folks here are the ultimate professionals and do great work. It’s great to know there are such knowledgeable and honest mechanics who also do high quality work. This is the only place I’ll bring my cars.
Excellent, efficient, professional service, as always.
Great, locally-owned business run by ethical professionals who exemplify what automotive repair SHOULD be!
They took care of routine service, and also identified a potential problem and fixed it for me. My vehicle runs much better now. Ive been using them for most of my services on my vehicle, and theyve been reliable, and cost effective for me.
Walking in this shop it was clear the owner has invested a lot of money in the latest equipment for a full-service maintenance of our Porsche. The diagnostic work was fast, the mechanic repair work was clearly at the expert level and the waiting area is comfortable and equipped with cell phone charger, WiFi, etc. This shop has our business for the future. They have our full recommendation!
Excellent experience. Great service and communication from Ivan. He diagnosed the problem, recommended repairs, and provided estimates. Highly recommended!
If you own a sports car that you really care about and dont mind straight talk, honest assessments, and work done in a timely manner, IMA is your go-to shop.When my 2003 996 needed servicing, it was a quick diagnosis, accurate price, and the job was finished earlier than expected. The car was returned clean with absolutely no drama. If youre a car-person, theres also a lot of nice iron in various states of restoration or rebuild.I tell every P-car (or other German marque) owner that asks where I take my cars for service, and I unflinchingly recommend IMA.
Did a laser alignment with the folks at IMA. Awesome crew and will only have them work on my car moving forward!
Awesome service! They did a last minute prepurchase inspection for me on a car that I was flying in the next day to buy. They made putting a deposit down on a car sight unseen a lot less stressful. Ivan stayed late that night to finish up the inspection and then called me and talked to me for about 30 minutes about the car at 8pm on a Friday. Really appreciate him going above and beyond to get it done for me and with such short notice!
Efficient; Experienced; Professional; Cost-Conscious! This is the third time I am going back to this shop in the last two years and I will definitely go back when I need anything done to my car. They are professional, precise and honest. They will diagnose and tell you what is wrong with the car, they will give you their recommendations and ultimately the decision is yours, they are not Pushy. Ivan and his team are truly amazing and friendly. I am glad I found these guys! dont pay dealer prices for your high-end car service or maintenance, bring it to these guys, they do the same job (if not better) for a fraction of the dealers cost. They even tell you things that the dealer typically doesnt or looks the other way on because they dont want to cover/fix it under warranty until it is too late, then the dealer tells you well you have this and that issue. These guys are honest and upfront! Thank you guys for everything you do! You have my business and I will make sure my friends know where you are!
Porsche Cayenne is running like new. Ivan and his team are great.
I appreciate their honesty and professionalism. They do very good work in a timely manor. Highly recommend IMATo anyone.
Fantastic shop for car repairs. Honest and kept me informed about initial repairs and additional things they found. I would recommend them to anyone needing repairs to their European car.
As always, Ivan and his team are knowledgeable, honest, and professional. I highly recommend this establishment.
Awesome shop, very trustworthy, great price, quality of work, good turnaround time and some race cars to look at!
I have used IMA on several occasions now, for specialized services on a Porsche and scheduled maintenance on an Audi. Ivan and his team are top notch and consistently perform excellent work at a fair price. They are honest, thorough and very customer focused. Highly recommended!
Ivan and his team at IMA are the best Ive experienced in more then 30 years. They find the least expensive way to fix your sports car/sedan/SUV in the most efficient way possible. They always overdeliver on quality. If you have a European performance car, you owe it to yourself, your vehicle and most importantly your wallet to give IMA a chance at your business.
Ivan and team are always fantastic with real knowledge of the workings of Porsches. I go there regularly and we discuss the car inside and out. Great team and great result
Great works as usual. I have been using IMA for years and they are always awesome.
Awesome Experience!Ivan and his team are experts and know customer service.They are true professionals and know the engineering behind my 128i BMW.I will return to continue service for my car and look forward to the future.I will recommend others to get their service from Ivan Team at IMA.
Ivan was very professional and provided solid expertise in diagnosing the problems with my Porsche. The work was done quickly and my car now runs like new. I highly recommend IMA Motorwerke.
Top quality service for your vehicle.
Pleasant and knowledgeable staff. Ivan discussed and explained what the choices for repair were. I know I can depend on the professional care the care receives here
Ivan (owner) went out of his way to help me fix a coolant leak in my Audi A4 on the same day same day as promised. Tyler did an exceptional job and stayed past business hours to finish the job -- thank you Tyler. Ivan gave me an honest and fair quote and I would recommend IMA to anyone!
This shop is great! Ive never been to a shop where they insist on going over the details of the issues and what needs to be done instead of getting you in and getting you out.They will be where I will go for future services. Ivan is fantastic, personable and very professional. Service is very timely and reasonable. I would highly suggest this shop to anyone who doesnt want to get taken at a stealership.
Great and HONEST service. I highly recommend. The owner even drove me to work after I dropped the vehicle off. I was nervous about going away from the Porsche dealership, but now Im certain I made the right choice.
Honest mechanics. Clean facility. What more could you ask for?
Ivan / IMA Motorwerke is absolutely the best! Ivan provides exceptional customer service and attention to detail.Before taking my 2009 Audi Q7 to IMA Motorwerke, I took my Audi Q7 to Audi Chantilly. That was a bad decision to go to Audi Chantilly. Of course Audi Chantilly did not explain anything except focused on the worst case scenario (up to $10k) to see if I would bite on their high price and low customer service. Im not stupid and I value customer service for my money. Ill never ever go back to Audi Chantilly for service or to purchase another vehicle.I spoke to Ivan on my way home from Audi Chantilly and he was simply amazing. He was polite, professional, friendly and laser focused on listening to determine the potential problems with my Audi.I decided to go with Ivan / IMA Motorwerke given his excellent attention to detail and professionalism. Ivan called me along the way to discuss the diagnosis and let me know what the potential problems could be with my Audi. Ivan was spot on with his diagnosis, process and solution. Plus saved me thousands of dollars versus Audi Chantilly.I wish everyone in the automotive industry was as professional as Ivan / IMA Motowerke.Thank you Ivan / IMA Motorwerke!!
Very responsive and super detailed, would absolutely recommend!
If youre like me and dont like anyone but professionals go anywhere near your car, you have to set up an appointment with IMA. From the initial phone call to bringing the car in, I was impressed. Ivan and his team are knowledgeable and very professional from start to finish. Both he and his team were ready and willing to answer any questions and concerns I had. I will gladly return for service in the future for my BMW.
Need 2nd opinion for repairs from Dealership. IMA Website was impressive. Owner & staff was very Professional & Knowledgeable. Inspection was thorough. Saved a lot of money without sacrificing Quality repairs. Most shops over Promise & Under Deliver. This shop leaves you with complete confidence & exceeded all expectations. My wife & I wish we discovered this Shop earlier.We could have saved a lot of money from some expensive repairs weve had done over the years. I will recommend IMA to our neighbors and friends for their own positive experience.
This is one of the rare shops thats upfront, honest and super friendly, these guys know what theyre doing. I would trust Ivan and his crew with my car, They do an exceptional job.
The best Auto repair experience you will have. Never going to another place again.
Ivan and his team really know Porsche, literally, from the ground up. Their speed of repair, and prices are reasonable. Best of all there nice guys.
Ivan worked me into his schedule on short notice and certainly lived up to his reputation. The PPI was thorough and explained to me in detail. I plan to rely on IMA for my Cayman service requirements.
1966 911: Ivan worked diligently to solve the issue at hand with great care and patience. There are no more old SWB 911 experts left, except for Ivan. He is an air-cooled craftsman!
Always professional and great price for the work on my Porsche
Some of the biggest “brains” in this business with there own IP. I already received a proprietary IMA tune and am looking very forward to Ivan further modifying my VW “New Beetle”.Happy to be a new member of this family
Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and responsive
Thanks IMA for helping me with my 91 MB 420 SEL!
This was my first visit, but the personal attention paid by Allan and Ivan was a refreshing change from the traditional dealership experience. I will most definitely be servicing both of my primary cars here in the future. Thanks guys!
IMA did a great job on my Volkswagen Vanagon. Not as fancy as all the Porche 911s they usually work on, but they gave it all the attention it needed and completed the repair in a timely fashion and for a reasonable price. Very busy but still friendly. Would use again.
I didnt have service here, but I want to comment on their professionalism and kindness due to a mix up that was 100% my fault.I had my truck towed one night. I accidently gave the wrong address. My truck was 1/4 of a mile away from the intended shop.Once I realized this and figured out where my car was, I gave them a call. It was soon after they had closed, but amazingly I got an answer. I spoke to a lady and explained my situation. She assured me my car was there and said I could get it in the morning. She was so nice and just made me feel 100x better. She even offered to have my car fixed there, but I declined.Anyway, the next morning I get there to meet my tow truck and find my car. I walk in and talked to a man to let him know I was taking my car and thank you for not having it towed away.When my tow truck arrived, the lady I spoke to on the phone and another man came out and wanted to make sure that was my tow truck.I thanked her and apologized for the mistake.I cant review the actual car service, but the review I can give is of the people I encountered who work there. Which is as important to me. Very kind and understanding. If I didnt have a mechanic down the street I would definitely go to IMA due to their great professionalism and kindness. Seeing other reviews it sounds like they do great service.
IMA Motorsport is top of the line. Ivan and his crew are some of the most professional and knowledgeable mechanics I have ever met. They are timely, precise, and genuinely care about the vehicle and customers they provide service to. My girlfriends 2015 VW Jetta was not starting and after 3 months of towing the vehicle to different shops and even a VW dealership hearing all sorts of diagnoses, Ivan and his crew diagnosed the issue and had it running like its supposed too in less than a week. We will forever have IMA be the only mechanics we take our vehicles too. Thanks again!!!!
IMA has serviced my vehicles for more than five years. Ivan and the team are real pros, providing excellent service.
Great Service - highly recommended!
This shop did an amazing job changing the clutch on my 1986 Porsche 944! I brought the car in to diagnose some drivetrain backlash, I knew deep down that it was the clutch but was in denial, but the folks at IMA were quick to diagnose the problem! They also took my car same day to do the job, and I had the car back the next day. They were able to do a job that is 18 book hours in less than two days!! Ivan and Allen were extremely nice and helpful, and they even gave me a ride back to my house when I dropped off the car! Other shops Ive dealt with should aspire to have the customer service these guys delivered, Im quite impressed. Ill definitely be back the next time I need work done that I cant DIY in the garage!
Always there to count on when Im in need of any service! Even if I am unreachable via phone call, they do reach out via text and that is very helpful!!
Staff is always amazing and the provide quality service.
I have been bringing my Porsches (911 G50 - 944 n/a - 951) to Ivan and his team for the last 6 years and they have always done an excellent work. Ivan, Chris and the team are always willing to go the extra miles to help you out even if it is for them to work late or have to come on a week end!At IMA Motorwerke you can bring your car and what ever you drive you will be well taking care off, but the best about them is they will never push you to do work on your car that is not necessary just to invoice, and they know how to fix a car not just replace! You can for sure bring your car to them and you can trust you and your car will be well treated and prices will be fair. Thank you IMA please keep the hard and good work. Frenchie 1
320$ for a “motul” oil change ? What a joke
Fair price and good work 👍
Shannon is the best mechanic. No one else will ever work on our cars!
IMA was super honest and fair with me when I brought my Porsche Cayenne in for burning oil smell and engine noise.
I took used Cayanne for a Pre-Puchase Inspection offered by IMA. What i can say- they are pure professionals and know their stuff.
I was very impressed by this business! Ivan, who was great throughout the repair process, gave me the best quote I could find in the area for replacing the control arm on my 07 Passat so I made an appointment and went to drop the car off the next morning. When I got there, the first thing I noticed was the shop was absolutely littered with late model Porsches, several of them obviously track-only vehicles. I figured if people trust the guy to maintain their high-end race cars, Im probably safe letting him work on my 10 year old VW! But the best part was that he didnt treat it like the dirtiest, lowest end vehicle in his shop (it was). They got to work on the car immediately and kept me apprised of their progress the whole time. When the repair was done, Ivan gave me a short list of potential future issues he noticed while working on the car so that I could keep them in mind but did not pressure me to spend more money that I didnt yet need to. Again, great experience with this business, I will be returning in the future!
General maintenances performed that keepAn old car running well
Ivan and his Crew know their stuff! We had our Porsche Panamera 4s Serviced here and they did an excellent job. They always do an Amazing Job when they service our porsche vehicles...
These guys are very knowledgeable and Professional !!!
Ive had my 2005 997 serviced by Ivans team at IMA for 3 years now. They are the premier Porsche car specialists in the NoVA area, and provide a knowledge, attention to detail, and customer service the dealers cannot match.
I like this shop! Clean shop cool suff Cool people smart techs and sales guys they allways help out like your problem is thier problem. Stop by if you havent been there you will be impressed.
I took my Porsche there and first time they did an ok job (hence two stars, not one). Unfortunately the car suffered a little fender bender and took the car back to IMA for an opinion. Owner (Ivan) promised me itll be taken care of. Emailed me later that day and said he took it for a spirited drive (without my permission) and found the rear alignment to be not to his liking. I got suckered into having him re-align the car. I still dont know whats his rational between a front bumper scrap and rear alignment?? Charged me over the top for the alignment. But then turned out he simply messed it up even more! The steering was crooked, the alignment was completely fd up. Had to go to another shop to correct his so-called optimal alignment.I called him up to see if he could remedy the alignment--thats when he came out and said his shop doesnt even own an alignment setup! He borrowed another shops alignment and he doesnt know when he can get back on the alignment.Oh and what about the bumper? He took it to have it repaired by another bodyshop. Didnt even bother re-align it, so simply painted and put it back. Still crooked as the first day I brought the car to him. Turned out there were a few broken tabs inside that he said he was gonna order but he never bothered. I had to have it completely re-aligned by the bodyshop.He took over $600 and essentially didnt do anything. Wont be going back there, ever. Im considering filing a complaint with PCA, FWIW.
Work was done right, professionally and quickly
Sad establishment! Stay away!
Called in for an oil change quote, and they tried to upsell me over the phone, when they haven’t even seen me or my car yet. Sketchy place!
Reliable and responsive service
Nobody touches my car but IMA Motorwerke!!! There you have it!!!!!
A+
