Capitol Hill Auto Service

You’re going to love these guys. Chris, the owner, and Ryan, the manager, at Capitol Hill Auto Service are true professionals and really know their cars. You're also going to love them because—and this is absolutely essential when dealing with mechanics—you can trust them, I mean, totally trust them. I've relied on them for a decade to keep my ancient VW Passat (18 years old) in good running order at a fair and reasonable price. Example: my electronic ABS module failed 10 years ago, and Ryan told me that a new OEM unit would cost $1200; so, I found an ex-aerospace engineer to rebuild it for $125. Ryan covered the exposed hydraulics with aluminum foil and tape so I could operate the car until the rebuilt module arrived a few days later. Ryan installed it, and it’s worked perfectly ever since. How many other auto mechanics would be this smart, this flexible, this accommodating, this helpful, this reasonable? That's right--none. Entrust your car to CHAS--you'll never regret it.

The problem was analyzed and repaired for 1/4 the cost at the dealer! They were very professional and knowledgeable, and are now my go to auto mechanics.

Very prompt attention and repaired within 24 hours. Excellent communication

Chris was super responsive and got the job done quickly. I will definitely go back here.

Repairs were performed as promised, when promised. The vehicle is performing well, the problems were fixed.

The price for my service was very reasonable. Everyone was helpful and informative, starting with 2 email exchanges. The repair was completed quicker than I expected. I will definitely return here, as needed. I skipped rating "quality" because I don't have a basis for comparison. The car runs GREAT first day out. I fully expect that to continue. Barring any unforeseen complication, and if I can return to edit this assessment I predict an "A" rating down the road.

They came very highly rated from customer reviews online. They are reasonably priced and honest. I would absolutely use them again.

Fantastic. This was the best experience i have ever had with a vehicle service center. I'm taking all of my cars to Capital Hill Service Center.

It was fabulous. They're a neighborhood auto shop, old fashioned with great customer service. They never fail to fit me in even if I'm not on the schedule. Its family owned and epitomizes customer service. They're reasonable, prompt, and most importantly the get the job done. We've taken our, well used, mini-van there for years. They do everything from tune ups to major and minor fixes.

Excellent work (though expensive - and I blame Mazda rather than Capitol Hill Auto Service).
Capitol Hill Auto Service is a delight; I love having a skilled and honest mechanic within walking distance!

I would absolutely recommend them to a friend.  I would absolutely use them again. 

This business doesn't take appointments.  I showed up and two hours later the job was done correctly for a reasonable price.  Lock now works fine and I can once again lower the window.  I'm a satisfied customer and will return when the need arises.

They were very honest with me and transparent. They give you a time frame and stick to it. The staff is very pleasant as well.

Car was finished on time, price was as quoted, results were as promised. Very happy with results.
