I've been taking my Porsche here for top-quality competent service for several years now. They're honest and fairly priced and I'm always highly satisfied. I've recommended them to friends and family who are also regularly using them now. It's a rare find to have an auto repair service you can fully trust...GT Peace is that place!

Took my Camaro in for a full suspension replacement, they knocked it out of the park. Knew exactly what they were doing and talking about, had great recommendations for a couple other parts I needed. Cool guys and a clean shop, highly recommend

Called around to price brakes and basic maintenance for a 2019 Camaro. Made a request for information through the website, and Cory was quick to respond. I had several questions come up, and he was patient, friendly, and thorough in his information. GT Peace gave me the best price for brakes, and had me in and out of the shop in under 4 hours. Really felt like they valued my time, and I was very pleased with the work. Will definitely bring my car back and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Such a positive experience. Daniel and his team helped me out so much by figuring out a very complex situation with my BMW, that no other place could. They explain everything in detail and charge fair rates for quality work and excellent service. I highly recommend coming here for any kind of automotive work.

If I could give a place 10 stars out of 5, this would be the place!I brought my Fiat 500 Pop here to fix a broken power window, and I am so, so pleased with the work GT Peace did! It's hard to find good repair places for Fiats. The previous place I had gone to had completely botched the job and dented the window tracks so that the window couldn t close without twisting on the tracks, and they shredded the foam vapor shield on the inside of the door on top of that. I knew parts would have to be bought, and that the fix would be expensive, but it wasn t nearly as bad as I was fearing, even after needing to order an extra piece. The guys at GT located a place to order the parts they needed, and were in contact with me the whole time to discuss costs and how the repairs were going. Everyone I spoke to was friendly, professional, and seemed like they knew what they were talking about. I understand that the job was tricky, and the diagrams for my car were bizarre, but they did the work well and everything works just as it did when I first bought the vehicle. I couldn t be happier!Go here for your car repairs!

GT Peace Automotive did an excellent job on my camber bolts and alignment! The folks who work there are very knowledgeable and are also fellow enthusiasts, some with track experience. I would definitely come back for service again, or even to just ask questions or recommendations.

Subaru Specialist Found!I recently retired and bought a Subaru Outback Wilderness to build out for camping at parks and forests, and in all seasons.I starting looking for shops in the DMV area that could help me with modifications such as improved suspension, rock sliders, and other features for overland use. I searched and found many shops that worked on Jeeps, Land Rovers, and trucks. Very few would work on Subarus and GT Peace was the only one in DMV with a specialist on Subarus.GT Peace installed the suspension lift kit, new wheels, improved all terrain tires, and rock sliders for me. The work is top tier, the attention to detail is outstanding, and all the work done to preserve the OEM safety features. The build exceeded my expectations.Working with Shawn and Galen was fantastic. The helped me every step of the way, communicated updates to me, and their crew did amazing work.I highly recommend GT Peace and will be going back for the next phases of my build!Services: Tires, Steering & suspension replacement, Wheel alignment

Took my Jeep there because I wasn't sure what was wrong with it, I just knew something was. They not only correctly diagnosed my problem -- and it was a doozy -- they corrected it faster than I expected and it cost a LOT less than I was expecting. Both were happy surprises.I have no doubt that they are every bit as professional and expert with whatever make of car you may have and I will DEFINITELY be taking my Jeep there for any service it needs. 100% happy and will recommend them to everyone I know who has a car that needs work.

Rarely, do I take my car to get it worked on as I do the majority of repairs and maintenance myself trust issues :) But had to get a tire repaired for my Porsche 971. I asked around and was referred to GT Peace by a few BMW CCA and PCA friends, and I can confidently say that their reputation is well-deserved. The speed and attention to detail exhibited by the team were truly impressive for even a small repair. What stood out the most is that everyone working there are genuine car enthusiasts who treat your vehicle with the same level of respect they have for their own. It s rare to find a shop where passion for cars meets professional expertise. If you re looking for a place that understands and values your vehicle as much as you do, this is the place to go. Thanks GT Peace!

If nimble high performance sports cars make your pulse quicken, you can drop $100k or more and get of great one. But, if you are like the rest of us and find yourself looking at Ba T Auctions, PCar Market and the like, but not having the cash to pull the trigger there is another good option. Bring your current ride to Gt Peace. Galen, Freddy and company will work with you to make your car the best without breaking the bank. They have my 2008 R56 Modified Mini dialed in. A great local/beltway daily driver it now lives up to the hype of go cart feel, with solid suspension (less torque steer), better lines and an exhaust note worthy its old English sports car pedigree. They have my BMW 2004 E46 convertible driving like it was only a few years old. In short, I can still dream but reality is pretty sweet.

For the price and service, no one it topping this place. I ve brought my 2016 Porsche Cayenne in numerous times from check engine lights to a simple state inspection. They always take care of your vehicle and keep you updated throughout the process!

I had a water leak issue in my 2012 BMW 328i. GT Peace technician identified the issue quickly and helped fix it within a day. Now I can confidently leave my car with GT Peace for any future issues. The cost of repair was very reasonable. I m so happy to have found a reliable place for my Audi and BMW. Thanks.

First time using GT Peace and was very satisfied with the service on my VW GTI. Felt like they were considerate and only looking to do the service required at a fair price; didn't try to upsell. Will definitely return and recommend to others.

Took my 8 sec drag car in last year for an alignment. It was tricky, but they got it aligned within the specs I provided, in addition to finding and solving a problem with my subframe. Today, service, professionalism, and end result yet again was excellent. Brought in a widebody challenger for an alignment and they were able to adjust it better than when it came out of the factory. Highly recommend GT Peace

GT Peace is the best. I take my BMW cars here for service and they are honest and knowledgeable. Reasonably priced compared to the dealership. Thank you GT Peace Team.

I was searching for a shop to install suspension parts (springs, shocks, UCAs) on my 4Runner and GT Peace was recommended to me by one of their former employees. I gave them a call and they provided me with an estimate that was very competitive. I called around different shops in Northern Virginia and they provided the best price so I scheduled the appointment.On the day of the appointment, I showed up to drop off the vehicle. There are several spots right infront of the establishment where you can park your vehicle so you can check-in and they'll then move your vehicle inside their shop. VERY convenient. The customer waiting area of their shop has a couch, several chairs, a TV and a coffee/snack bar. There are sales material and magazines to keep you entertained if you decide to wait rather than drop off. They also provide a guest wi-fi so you can do some work if you need to. Absolutely a thumbs-up.They gave me a call when my vehicle was ready and I Ubered there. I checked in and paid at the front desk with Shawn and they pulled my vehicle out to the front. Shawn walked out to the vehicle with me to give me a summary of everything that was done. Excellent top-notch service there.I was there again about a week or two ago to have some services done (oil change, emissions, inspection and rotation). Again, excellent service from Shawn and the GT Peace team.GT Peace is now my go-to auto shop for any vehicle-related stuff. While there are many auto shops, it is very difficult to find one that provides good and honest service. If you're on a search for one, give GT Peace a try and thank me later.NateServices: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Steering & suspension replacement, Tire rotations, Vehicle Inspection, Wheel alignment, Auto emissions testing, Vehicle safety inspection, Auto maintenance, Oil change

These guys are great did a full brake replacement on my 5th gen 4Runner, plus an alignment. Top quality work. Had a small issue with the alignment, and they thoroughly addressed it. A bit pricy, but you get what you pay for! I d recommend them for work on your 4Runner or other off-roader!

I had a great experience. I commend Daniel and his team at GT PEACE AUTOMOTIVE in Chantilly repair shop for their great customer service work , friendly staff repair quality on my BMW M3 E46. Daniel is very friendly and not for getting the other staff members, a professional and attentive to customers concerns. Daniel was very patient explaining the details of what I needed to get done on my vehicle back to performance spec that was very helpful and I take him very seriously because he know what he was talking about and was very honest upfront with first impression. I will recommend to friends and family members about their excellence in customer service skills. Thank you so much and BRAVO TO GT PEACE AUTOMOTIVE for job well done.

Galen and the crew at GT Peace have always been very attentive, and knowledgeable. If your a car enthusiast like me you want to know your car is being taken care of and the work is top notch, GT Peace has done that for me.I brought my car in for diagnosis and GT Peace confirmed my worse fears, a blown turbo. I have a 2016 S6, Freddy and Galen were super helpful in helping me find a solution that fit my needs. First I was going to just replace the turbos with some hybrids, then Galen said he would do some research first himself to ensure this was the proper path. I thought about it long and hard, then decided go all OEM but upgrade turbos. So I called back and spoke with Freddy and said, never mind on the hybrids, I want to go Full STG3, RS7 turbos, cooler, RS7 intake, downpipes, air suspension controller, and have a few TSB's Audi has out. I complied a build list of what I would order and sent it over. What started out as a simple turbo replacement, turned into a major project. Matt their Audi Mech was tasked to do the work on my car. I asked Freddy if GT Peace could take photos of the whole process start to finish and he said that's not a problem.As parts started to trickle in, the tear down begin. When I would drop parts off to Matt would ask questions and even showed me his progress and we chatted about a few things. Just talking to Matt and having him show me what he was doing, I could see the passion he had for the project, he even pointed out things he felt should be replaced now or replaced at a later time. Fast forward to the day I went to pick my car, the work looked very professional. to the blind eye, the car looked stock as it should using OEM Audi parts. Everything was in working order and Matt did a full run down on the car and showed me everything. I couldn't wait to drive it. As I packed the car up with my old parts Matt thanked me for giving GT Peace and him the opportunity to do such a big project. I'm glad I have found a shop local to me that does such great work, everyone is humble, and loves to talk cars. After I left I traveled south to get my tunes loaded for the new turbos. All I can say is I never stop smiling. The car is a blast to drive and I can finally enjoy it again.Huge shout out to GT Peace and everyone who had a part in my build, nice to know I have a shop I can count when my car needs little work or major work.

Brought my girlfriend s Mini in for what I almost for sure thought was a rear main seal leak. Before even checking out the car Galen pointed out it most likely wasn t, and that it was something else leaking. Galen turned out to be correct in his assumption and the team fixed the leak AND replaced the rear main seal anyways! They provided pictures and constant updates throughout the entire (very short!) two day process. Galen provided nothing but the utmost exceptional customer service. Galen s extended experience with BMW and Mini was immediately evident when speaking with him. These guys are clearly enthusiast oriented and care most about making sure the customer is happy and taken care of first. I was so happy with the level of service and fair price they provided that I have decided to bring my own BMW in for them to take a look at (something I have never done before because I typically do not trust shops). I never leave businesses reviews, but GTPeace was too good to not get a review. I have nothing but great things to say about these guys. Outstanding work.Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, Auto detailing, Auto maintenance

Updating my review from a previous visit where there was some miscommunication on scheduling. I received a call soon after and was seen by Galen the Owner. Galen and the team did a phenomenal job diagnosing my vehicle and giving me detailed feedback during my visit. I was referred to the shop by a friend who has been going there for years and has only said great things about them. I highly recommend the shop, definitely one of the best shops around. Galen is a true professional and his customer skills are above standard. Looking. Forward to working with them on the recommendations. Thank you!

I took my GX470 to have lower control arms installed and the service and knowledge of the team was outstanding. Their communication throughout the process and even working to have my vehicle ready on a tight schedule, as I was about to go out of town. I highly recommend GT Peace and look toward to using them in the future!!Service: Steering & suspension repairService: Steering & suspension repair

The short answer is that if you are looking for a great, professional team to provide high quality care for your vehicle, GT Peace is a place you want to go. Would I recommend them to friends and family? Would I bring the car back? Am I completely satisfied? The answer to all is without question. I took my E46 M3 to them on short notice (due to incoming snow) and they allowed me to drop my car off in advance. I had them take care of much needed maintenance (valve adjustment and driveshaft related items). While they were at it, they also checked my VANOS for issues and checked the car for anything else I may need to address.While checking my car, the GT Peace Team also noticed that the alignment was extremely off. They took specifications of before and after to show me why it definitely needed to be done, and I m glad for it. While the work is obviously to help the car perform better, I also took this as them worrying about my safety, which is arguably more important.Please note that my car is not on a stock setup, it is meant to be on weekend track duty. I am also happy to say that the engine seems to be responding stronger, the car now handles much more predictably, and I am more confident while driving.Thanks again!

installed the RSI Smart Cap @ GT Peace Automotive. Once again I do apologize for the misunderstanding which was outside of my control and I really thought that I had to send the replacement to the vendor if I were to file a claim and leave the rest of the topper at your shop (that's how warranty claim usually work doesn't it? they want the physical part before sending out a new one after they examine the defect). I'm not trying to point fingers at anyone but Shawn did mention that boxes were pretty large and felt like I made it difficult for you guys. I don't like doing that to people and felt like I was helping you all out, but I was mistaken.GT Peace Automotive went above expectation and contacted the manufacturer for me which I should have done also before getting upset. Now I'm a satisfied customer and would do business again if they are ok with it.Thanks again!

This is the only garage I will use for my cars here in VA I don't care if I have to drive an hour to get there. This is the only shop Ive been to in Virginia that took pride in their work. You don't find a shop like this every day, and they are worth waiting for.I have a 2017 Tacoma that I baby. From start to finish GT Peace treated it like it was their own. They installed new suspension, brakes bumpers, lights, pedal commander, and a winch. GT Peace really did a fantastic job with the install and even gave me recommendations on tires. While these tires were not my first choice. I have since become a HUGE fan and will probably stick with this make. These guys know what they are doing. The wiring is clean, and placed for easy maintenance. As an engineer I really appreciate their attention to detail. They even provided a loaner car! This is the type of shop your parents or grandparents grew up with, where the team is honest, and makes sure your taken care of like family. Seriously, they took the time to know me, then adjusted the build accordingly. That kind of personalization and attention to detail is first class treatment. It has earned them a tremendous amount of respect and loyalty from me. They will be seeing my Tacoma and any other car I own for as long as I am in the state.Services: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Electrical, Body & Trim, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Oil change

Man, I will not step foot anywhere else. I finally found a mechanic with no trust issues (hard to find). Awesome, friendly and honest people. Everyone I have dealt with in the shop welcomed me with a smile, from the front desk to the mechanics.From day one when I called the shop, Freddy answered my call and was super helpful answering all my questions with honesty. Throughout the job, Galen kept in contact through text messages with any questions and updates. I saw how they welcome other customers and addressed them by their first name, they have many regulars. I ve been back twice already.The shop installed headers on my e46 M3 for a very fair price compared to other local mechanics (after a nightmare of dealing with a Sterling mechanic shop that failed at installing my headers and blamed the manufacturer, charging me more money for an incomplete job).Will certainly be back with all 4 family BMWs. Thank you GT Peace for your professionalism and awesome work.

The staff here are exceptional to say the least. I have an 06 E60 M5 (V10) that I had GT Peace do a ton of preventative maintenance on including rod bearings, SMG clutch, Vanos solenoids and that wasn't even the half of it. I really went all in on addressing any potential issues with the car and had them take care of it before it happened. Shawn was my main contact and the level of communication and customer service was amazing. I called him several time throughout the process and he made himself available every time. Derren the Technician that worked on my car was thorough, precise, paid attention to detail and very professional, I'd be happy to have him work on my car anytime. He really knows his stuff when it comes to these over engineered BMW engines, great Technician. Being a guy that does 95% of the work on my cars, handing the keys over to shop that I don't have a history with was really nerve-wracking but Gt Peace knocked out of the park. My car has been running flawlessly. Thanks again for all the hard work I'll be seeing y'all soon!Services: Transmission, Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, Transmission repair, Oil change
