I find it hard to believe the negative reviews. I started going here when I moved to the area over 10 years ago because my brother and sister-in-law highly recommended him. Rich is great and always talks me through what I have to get done, giving me options for quality and cost (as in tire type or oil type or that I can wait a while to get x fixed if I want, but then Ill have to address it next time). His work quality is always great and prompt. Its a fantastic place to get your vehicle worked on.
This place looks scary from the outside but they are excellent. Rich(the owner ) is smart,fast, and fair. A real gem!
I have been using Twinbrook Auto for over 15 years. I drive older vehicles with a lot of miles on the vehicles. Rich (the owner) is the most honest mechanic I have ever met. He always tells me the least expensive solution and his work is always done right. I live 40 miles away and take my vehicle to Rich when it needs major work because he is the best, most honest mechanic that you will ever know.
I never commented online but this shop offered really disappointing service. I hope my post can help people be aware of what kind of service they can expect. I visited this auto shop several times because of its proximity to Metro. One day, my car’s temperature gauge read too high and I went over there. Richard, the owner, promised me to fix the problem. I was told by him that I needed to replace the coolant and several other things which cost me around $400. One month later, the same problem came back and this time I was shocked to be told that it was my water pumps problem and to fix that I need to pay over $700!I asked him politely if there could be any other ways around because after all it is him who promised to fix the problem in the first place. How come I can trust him, after I wasted $400, and believe the problem will never come back again? He said that this is the best he could do and if I do not like his offer, I can go for others. Thank to his suggestion, I find another shop nearby which help me fix the problem at half his price. Now, my car has been functioning well in the past 5 months. I don’t think I will ever come back again if anything.
I asked him to replace a control arm and I told him I have the part. He said the part has to come from them and hang up on me.
Rich owns the shop. He is kind and honest. I have been taking my Pathfinder to him for years now.
Fantastic! Rich is honest and does high quality work. I never go anywhere else.
