Hey! I'm so excited to write this letter review about the body shop that did an amazing job on my car body and mechanical work since June 5th. From what I've shared, it sounds like they really took care of my car and made sure everything was in 1000% top shape. It's such a relief when you find a reliable place that you can trust with your wheels! I'm sure you're thrilled with the results and the quality of their work. It's awesome to know that there are skilled professionals out there who can bring your car back to life and make it look brand new again. Not only did they take care of the body work, but the fact that they also handled the mechanical aspects shows their expertise and attention to detail. It's like a one-stop-shop for all your car needs! I can only imagine how much joy and relief I must feel knowing that my car is in great hands. Plus, having a reliable and well-maintained car brings peace of mind when you're on the road. Safety first, right? I hope this review helps others who are looking for a trustworthy body shop. It's important to spread the word about businesses that go above and beyond to provide excellent service. Keep up the good work in taking care of your wheels, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more exciting updates or need any car-related advice. I'm here to chat and support you!

Fernando is fantastic!I live with my mother and I with no family in Maryland. It is absolutely reassuring, that I can call Fernando any time I have a problem with my car.This morning, I woke up, planning to go to work and found my car with a flat tire in my garage. I called Fernando and he told me bring the car right over to his shop and he can fix it.Unlike other autoshops he's not there to upsell you on anything and gives you exactly what you need.I also thought I was missing a spare tire, and Fernando said he could order a spare tire for me. But just to be safe he said he wanted to make sure I'm really not missing a spare tire. We didn't realize the spare tire was hidden behind the plastic cover but Fernando was able to confirm that I had a spare tire so I didn't need to spend any money on things I didn't need.DG Auto does really good honest business, which is really hard to find now-a-days. And they are extremely well priced and have great service!As a person with no knowledge of how the car works, and what goes on in an autoshop when things are being fixed, it's so nice to know that you can talk to someone who really looks out for the longevity of your car and also gives you advice on what to watch out for.I can't thank Fernando enough, and I'm so glad to know that I can call DG Auto any time I have a car issue.

Excellent customer service and even better physical service. Shout out to Chris for making this stressful time smooth and easy and the most important part- affordable. Places I went to charged me way more than him and I couldn t thank him enough for the work they did on my car. Chris walked me through everything and didn t judge that I knew almost nothing about cars and treated me like an adult. I will recommend this place forever as they were everything I was looking for in a body shop.

Fernando has been rebuilding my 20 year young BMW 740i since 2011. There is nothing he hasn t touched on this car. It runs and rides like a dream. His shop is immaculate, as is he. When my car is returned, it feels brand new. He also takes care of my two other BMW s. It s a breath of fresh air to find someone as competent as Fernando. Your only mistake would be to go elsewhere to have your car serviced!

Fernando is a very honest and skilled mechanic, along with being a very kind and respectful person.At first I was unsure of the work that needed to be done on my car, so Fernando put it up on a lift and showed me each and every part of the work that needed to be done.Along with a very generous price, the work was completed promptly and professionally.My car feels and drives like it is brand new. I will be recommending all my friends and family to D&G auto repair in the future.

My daughter's 2012 Ford Focus had a brake fluid warning light. In the interest of convenience, we took it to a nearby dealership. In addition to recommending new rotors and brakes on all four corners, they immediately warned that all fluids/filters should be changed as well as a myriad of other maintenance items. Even though D&G Auto Repair is quite a way from our home, I trust Fernando and took it to him for a second opinion. He confirmed that some of the work was needed and that some of it was not needed (including tire replacement). More importantly, he diagnosed damage and/or outright failure on all four shocks that the dealership had missed (he provided photos for me). The final bill was not cheap but it was fair and I had confidence that the necessary repairs had been completed correctly.My daughter learned a lesson about the cost of "deferred maintenance" and I was reminded again that competence and trust are more important than convenience. Fernando has worked on 3 of our family vehicles over the years and I will continue to trust him when we need service. On top of everything else, he is very friendly and honest and a true joy to work with. I genuinely enjoy seeing him at each visit. Everyone should have a good relationship with an honest and skilled car mechanic. Fernando is my guy. Thank you Fernando and D&G Auto Service!

First time visiting D&G Auto Repair. I choose D&G Auto repair based on other customer's experience. The reviews that I had read were spot on! Fernando is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I requested Fernando to install a Catback Borla exhaust system. Before the install, Fernando found an oil leak that needed to be addressed. Fernando suggested I take it to the dealer since my vehicle is new. Fernando then proceeded to continue installing my aftermarket exhaust. He promised a time that the work would be completed by and even beat his estimated time. Fernando went far and beyond. Would recommend Fernando and his shop to anyone!Service: Exhaust

We found D&G Auto Repair based on the good reviews, and they were all right. Fernando diagnosed the issue with our heat/air quickly and stayed late that night to complete the labor-intensive replacement of our servo motor, which requires disassembling the dashboard to access it. His effort meant we could pick the car up the next morning. Very happy with his professionalism, expertise, and service.Service: Air conditioning

We've been going to D&G for a long time now. We wanted someone who specialized in the Lexus, but could also service other cars as well in case we needed it. Fernando has kept our 2003 Lexus SUV running smoothly and most importantly has made sure it's safe. We know it's an old car and Fernando is kind, honest and he is thorough with his check ups. We might not always like what he tells us (as I said, this is an old car), but he also lets us know what's important now versus what can wait. He never pushes us. I highly recommend D & G to anyone who needs a mechanic.

D&G has helped me keep my cherished 14- yo BMW running in good shape. Unfortunately, the last year a lot of wear & tear had caught up with the car, and I experienced some critical situations. Fernando was always available to take my call and to rapidly diagnose the issues when I brought it in to him. So far, the work has been top rate. His estimates are reliable. If you can't do every maintenance repair at once, he will help you prioritize. Take a look at the shop. It is the neatest & cleanest you will ever see, which says something about the attention to detail you will receive here. Highly recommended.

Fernando did some complicated work on my 2013 Ford f-150 and gave me back my car in no time. Affordable price, great service, and very polite. He's been my go to mechanic for years, and has kept my vehicles in great condition.

Fernando has been taking care of my Lexus since 2010. He has kept it running so well that I want to keep it but the interior looked worn. He replaced the dashboard and the arm rest. It looks like a new car. I only trust Fernando to take care of my car.Service: Body & TrimService: Body & Trim

Fernando is an absolute gentleman, a wonderful business man, and even better mechanic. He is honest, a pleasure to work with, and he sure knows how to build a car. Me and my grandfather Ron was in the market for a car for me, luckily enough we came across Fernando's shop on CarGurus. We found Fernando's 2012 Chrysler 300s for sale, had 90K miles on the body and a gorgeous 26K Odometer Engine swapped 5.7L Hemi out of a 2015 Police Charger. The swap is seamless, runs perfectly. The body is in beautiful shape and practically looked brand new upon delivery even after 90K miles. The car was fully loaded with every bell and whistle, with an even added adaptive cruise control Fernando put in himself. Not to mention the $1200 Borla S-Type full exhaust system that sounds absolutely beautiful with the big V8, I thought it was a Benz AMG the first time I heard it, it popped and cracked just like german engineering, but you turn around and its just good ol' American muscle. Fernando was a fabulous communicator, great on the phone, and even face-timed us to give full display of the car before any sort of payment. My grandfather, being the skeptical man he is, thought maybe it was too good to be true, so Fernando even gave us the number of a man he sold another car to just to get another good opinion. After that though, he was convinced. We paid for the car and Fernando had it delivered from Maryland to Detroit by the end of the week. Delivery of the car was perfect, everything ran great, and I'll be having a lot of fun this summer! Will absolutely call Fernando if im ever in the market for another car. 100% Recommend. Thank you! Not to mention he's a very handsome and put together guy, just as put together as his shop!

Fernando is the absolute best when it comes to informing you about exactly what is wrong with your car. I can t thank him enough for his patience with me coming up with the payment and for being understanding after I told him about the death in my family and not being able to get to him on the day I agreed to. I could have had the work done for a little cheaper but he had my trust and my complete confidence in him getting the job done. I did not feel pressured, uninformed, or cheated like I feel at most car places. Even though I have zero understanding when it comes to cars he walked me through everything with videos and detailed explanations. As long as I m in the area he has my business! Thank you Fernando

D & G Auto does great work. Fernando was recommended to me by a friend who has been going to him for years and I have been extremely happy we made the switch from the dealership. Fernando does great work and explains exactly what work needs to be done. I plan to continue going to him for years to come.

What a life saver....I just had a brake issue that came on suddenly with my 2015 Nissan Altima that turned out to be a bigger issue and Mr. Oyola was able to make the repairs at the last minute. Price was fair and service was excellent, including consistent communication during the day. He also explained some issues that I will be needing to address with a suggested a time frame, yet there was no pressure. Prior to this repair, he helped me with the maintenance of my 2001 Toyota Camry and the issues that came up: timing belt, brakes, catalytic converter. Again, excellent service.

Took my car there 7.30.22 because my A/C was not working. Charged me $200 to check for leaks and charge it. One week later it is blowing hot air again. Called and he immediately said"you must have a slow leak" I thought he checked for leaks.

George's Auto Hospital auto repair service ratings is the best in Gaithersburg area. I've been a loyal customer at Midas, but I was referred to George, so I took my Ford Escape for a front tire issue. I was surprised when they found out other problems on the wheel bearings and yet I still ended up paying 40% less that what I was expected to pay at Midas even with the extra work.
