I recommend getting a second opinion if you do go to them. My AC was went dead recently and I took it into their shop since they were close by. they recommended replacing the compressor and condenser which would have costed me around $1750. I decided that was beyond my budget and i took the car to another shop for a second opinion. Fortunately I didnt have to replace the condenser which just needed cleaning. I dont know how RS got it wrong. Maybe they have high rent to pay and need to make more money but the AC is working fine after the repair with the other shop and I saved $750. Also They will charge you for alot to inspect your car before they do any work like AC freon leak checks or broken window. I know they have to spend some time but they charge too much for an inspection. Again always get a second opinion.

Doley is the best and most honest mechanic I have ever used. His work has always been excellent. Once I had some muffler work to be done, and he said it was easy enough and it would be cheaper at a big muffler place, to save me money. Another time, I went to him after another mechanic had told me I had to replace both bearings. He put the car up, and he told me that only one was bad, the other one was fine. I changed just that one and never had any problem, saving more money. Since then I have always taken the car to him since I can always trust he is there looking after my best interest, not his. He is so honest and liked by everyone that he does not need to make extra bucks cheating people. Moreover, his work is always great quality, and I never had any complaint. I highly recommend it.

These guys are great. Honest as the day is long, talented, professional, and they really go the extra mile for their customers. They have your best interests and safety at heart. Their rates are very reasonable and I have always, in the last 16 years, been exceptionally pleased with their work and service. Doley has handled our Priuses beautifully since we got the first one in 2001. Before that, he took care of my Honda. Highly, highly recommended!

RS is an honest mom and pop (and son(s)) mechanic shop. I was happy to find out that my final price for transmission fluid and drive belt changes were $20-$30 cheaper than what they originally quoted me over the phone and over the competitors rate as well. After initial test run, my honda civic 2006s automatic transmission is pretty smooth and doesnt have the jerkiness that was there before... Thanks guys!

I love this place. I have had my 1996 Subaru (with 170,000 miles) serviced there many times. So far I havent needed to return it twice for the same problem. I am reluctant to say too much good stuff because if they get too busy maybe I wont be able to continue to get such swift attention. :) It is neighborhood reliable repair shops like these that make it possible for us to baby our older cars conveniently.

By far the best mechanics in the area. Very knowledgable and top notch service. Doley and Darshan are very personable and will drop everything to help their walk in customers! Highly recommend them for any repairs. Theyve driven to my car when I was stranded once to inspect it, come to my house to jump start my scooter and fixed an issue just today with my scooter seat. Awesome guys!

I have been coming to RS Automotive the year Mr. Dooley opened. Ill cut this review short by saying my sole regret is that the rest of the area quickly caught on the great service Mr. Dooley and Darshan provide, so the days of walking in and getting your work done right then are very much over! Oh, for the good old days!

Doley serviced our car in a pinch, and fit us into his busy schedule for the day. Thank you. Note that "check engine" computer diagnostics report is a $97 flat fee, regardless of what the computer spits out.

We have been regular customers since 1999, and have been thoroughly impressed with the dedication and the service of Doley Depeswar, his nephew Darshan Aspanthiya, and their crew of ASE-certified mechanics.

Best mechanic and service. Doley and his team are always honest and forthright. Ive been going to RS Automotive since I moved to Takoma Park in 2000. No complaints ever.
