Prime Automotive was recommended to us and we’re glad we went there. Everyone there was very professional and welcoming. The service was great and made you feel like your vehicle was in safe hands. We look forward to taking out vehicles there in the future. It’s hard to find a trustworthy mechanic/shop so when you do it’s a good thing!

Prime Automotive is needle in the haystack of the automotive repair industry. They’re the only place to take your vehicle for great, honest, and reliable work. After several attempts at other mechanics, I tried Prime Automotive and won’t go anywhere else.Last year I had rodent damage to my vehicles wiring ....twice! This was a nightmare. The repairs were intense as the engine had to be removed from the bay to complete the work. Both times, Mark and his team took care of the damage and even helped get the vehicle towed. My vehicle was fixed in just a few days and the work was great quality.Lastly, their communication is what really sets the apart from any other mechanics I’ve been to. Mark has went out of his way to take both my vehicle and my wife’s vehicle on short notice for repairs. He has even followed up to make sure vehicles are doing well, as a doctor would a patient.Thank me later.

Mark and his automotive technicians are knowledgeable in keeping me safe on the road. No matter what my car may need,I leave there with confidence that the work was done. I am never over charged for any of the work done on my car. You can feel safe driving your car, after your visit @ Prime Automotive.

My sister and I both have been going to Mark for YEARS. He’s very professional, tries to give you the cheapest price for whatever services your car needs and will take care of your car. He is def honest about your cars needs too so don’t expect any sugar coating there. I have no complaints for Mark or his staff.

Smart mechanics, good listeners, clean shop, solved the problem on our Kia Soul. We are travelling and had our oil light start flickering at low speeds. Our oil was low and Marks shop was close by. I called and explained my problem; Mark listened carefully and ask lots of questions. He squeezed us in and is taking care of the problem and giving us advice on monitoring the situation for the rest of our trip. To be clear, this place is busy but Mark is making it work to get us back on the road (read: the fellas are hustling to stay on target). Wish we lived locally to give him our regular business!

Prime Automotive is the only mechanic I use. Their service is second to none. I have taken every car I’ve owned here for many years. My entire extended family takes all of their cars there. I would trust them to do any work on any vehicle. Repairs and services are always completed quickly and I have never had a problem with any of their work. The best. Period.

I had brought a wheel in to get the tire replaced under a tire replacement warranty. Met with Mark who was quick to assist and a pleasure to work with. They did not carry the tire at the store, but they ordered it and had it installed in just a few days. I am more than happy with the outcome working with Prime Automotive and I would not hesitate to give them my business again. They are truly focused on customer service and offering a positive experience. Happy Customer, Thanks!!!

You are not going to find a more honest and professional mechanic in the DC metro area. We drive down from Arlington to have Mark and his team service our vehicles. Never been disappointed and Mark has always worked with our crazy schedules. Mark will ensure your vehicle only gets what it needs and will always be honest when you do or don’t truly need something. As always, Thanks Mark!

This is the only place I trust for change oils and other repairs or services I need for my car. Straight forward and reasonable cost. They will go out of their way to give the best service and will work with you if you are on a budget. Very trustworthy. Look for Mark and He will guide you all the way.

Review №20

My car would not start after sitting idle due to the pandemic. Mark came to my house to jump start my car, and drove it to the shop to replace the battery which would not hold a charge, and to do some routine maintenance (oil change, etc). He also made sure it had the annual emissions test, and then returned the car to my house. I could not be happier with the service I received from Prime Automotive.

Review №21

Mark and his team are awesome! They are very responsive and always call to let me know what is going on and what the cost will be prior to any work being done. They are the most trust worthy and honest auto mechanics I have ever dealt with. It was also super helpful that they noticed the safety inspection was due and they took my car to get inspected for me so I didnt have to go to another place during COVID-19. Definitely recommend Prime Automotive for all of your auto needs!

As a woman who doesn’t know the ins and outs of cars, I would highly recommend. Clearly explained what repairs were needed based on check engine light. Also proposed future maintenance suggestions, but no pressure. I’m new to Prince William County and glad to have found a mechanic I can trust.

Review №28

I moved to Virginia from California 7 years ago where my uncle fixed my cars for me. And since then I’ve had the hardest time finding a trustworthy shop. My first major vehicle breakdown entailed a water pump leak and as many of us are aware there’s never enough preparedness for this type of problem. I was just about ready to break down myself, when a dear colleague/friend called and inform me of Prime Automotive. All I can say is that I’m forever grateful to have this meaningful friendship that led me to Mark and his team. THEY ARE THE EPITOME OF INTEGRITY. They treated me like a person the moment I walked through their door (unlike any other shops that I’ve been to). Mark was straightforward with what I was faced with, which I really appreciated. He also went out of his way to look out for my best interests- he looked into the warranty, made phone calls and was able to get the dealership to take on the task and resolve the problem with not a penny spent on my part. Mark really was my saving grace and it was at that moment that Prime Automotive gained a loyal customer in me. I recently had another problem that the team performed the same approach on. I can’t thank them enough for all their help. By far the best example of customer service and quality workmanship. If you want a team that understands the importance of your car for you, simply pay Prime Automotive a service visit. They get it... and I guarantee they’ll do the job right the first time.

I highly recommend this automotive shop, I went in for a alignment because when I was getting my tires rotated by Costco they said there was some uneven wear, they were able to fit me right in and even squeeze in some services that I hadn’t told them about over the phone. I needed an alignment, my oil changed, I needed my windshield wipers changed, and I had a front headlight that was out that they informed me about helpfully. All in total it was less than I expected to spend on the alignment itself! I guess I’m used to dealership prices, they were very informative and checked in with me every step of the way. I really felt like they were looking out for me and I really appreciate that I will definitely be back to the shop with any needs concerning my car.

I bring my car to Prime Automotive because they are fair and treat me as a customer and not as a woman. I feel like a lot of automotive shops take advantage of women. I’ve always felt that Prime Automotive has been honest and treated me fairly. They are also attentive and they do not over book. When they say they can get my car in, they are honest about how long it might be.They text me a reminder when it’s tine for my oil change. That is awesome in my busy life.

Review №41

Really appreciated the patient, honest and high quality customer service I received. They replaced a very expensive part for much cheaper by offering to use an used part from the scrapyard. Ive never had a car repair shop offer that kind of service before whereas they actually acquire the used part from the scrapyard for you. Also love the fact that I could communicate with them via email and not just through the phone. Some car repair shops absolutely refuse to communicate with customers over email and sometimes it is just so much easier to discuss some things over email rather than phone. Thanks, Prime Automotive for your excellent service!

Prime Automotive, as always, provided me with excellent service. They went above and beyond what I expected (replacing my battery). They immediately started on my vehicle because I had to get to work even though they had other vehicles in the shop. They even put air in my tires and fixed my loose exhaust pipe without me even asking. Superior, professional and courteous service. I recommend them highly

I have been bringing both my cars to Prime Automotive for almost 10 years now. Mark and his staff are extremely knowledgeable. Their prices are extremely reasonable and I have always felt satisfied in their workmanship.

I was extremely busy and needed my truck worked on. Mark and his team came and picked it up from my home, fixed it within a few hours and brought it back to me. In over 20 years of moving around in the military I have never seen anyone with this level of customer service like Prime. That’s why I take my vehicles there and not anywhere else. You should too, you won’t regret it.

Theres no shortage of places to take your car and 4 years ago I happened to step inside Prime Automotive knowing nothing about cars. Since Im a busy mom whats important to me is: I want to be in and out-get the honest information I need to make a sound decision-feel confident Ive been well cared for. Mark does this for me, which is why I continue to come back. The bonus: he doesnt make it feel transactional instead its personable. They get 5 stars from me.

Fantastic customer service, and transparent pricing. Great place to drop off the car and shop at the mall nearby while you wait!UPDATE 2/7/19: We were quoted at over $2400 at our local shop for repairs that were needed for our 2007 sedan. We sent the quote to Prime Automotive, and within a few hours, they sent us back a quote that was less than half of the price that the other shop sent us!Mark and his team do great, honest work.

They are awesome and the only auto shop i trust with my car. I love that they are straight forward with me about whats going on with my car. they tell me what needs to be done now and what can wait. Also i dont have to worry about going in for an oil change and then getting an estimate for like $2000 dollars worth of work like when i go to places like merchants or the dealership. They are cool guys who will work with me to keep my car on the road. i recently moved to richmond and still drive to here if i need my car fixed.

Picked this place not knowing anything about this area. Told him I think I might need new brakes. Full check went out on the freeway and around the block too to get a full test. Said brakes aren’t the prob just need my tires re-balanced. Saved me a couple hundred I’m sure. Thoroughly explained what he saw and the work he did.Both gentlemen there were extremely kind and helpful. Recommended to you

Weve been loyal customers for over 6 years! We love this place! Mark and his team are professionals you can trust. They will always tell you if they notice some issues with the car even if you bring it only for oil change, they will tell you honestly if it can wait or it should be fixed asap. They are very patient and will answer all your questions (and trust me, I ask a lot of questions lol). They only order high quality parts and they stand behind their work. We moved to a different county but still go to prime automotive because this is the only place we can trust with our car. AND they are right next to AMC movie theater and Potomac mills mall so you can leave your car and go watch a movie or go shopping. Win win :)

The old adage where you can only get 2 choices where the work is done fast, well, and inexpensive doesnt apply to Mark and the staff. At Prime Automotive, you get all 3. No matter what the problem Ive had with my car, its been repaired right away, and theyve always been thorough in explaining what the problem was, and the steps taken to correct it. I would recommend Prime Automotive to anyone living in the DMV area.
