Fieden Brothers Service Center

Love these guys! I was recommended to them by my sister who said she had a really good experience. I have since been to them on multiple occasions and have been extremely impressed by the level of service. They are very quick to inspect and diagnose my vehicle and above that, I love how straight forward and honest they are. They are great about taking the time to go through the issues with me, explaining the mechanics behind them, showing examples of car parts when they can, and making sure I really understand what the problem is and where my money is going. I would highly recommend them everyone!

This is the BEST place I have ever been to get my car serviced. Jerry is an amazing guy who charges by far the lowest rates around. He is extremely honest and likes to explain exactly what he has done to the car and why. He will not do extra work without asking.
I know nothing about cars and can trust him to tell me exactly what is going on and not do unnecessary work. Recently, my brakes were making a weird noise and I was worried I would have to get them replaced. He took a look and explained that the chemicals working the brake pads can squeak, but the brakes were in great condition, and not to believe anyone that tells me I need costly work done. Another time, I thought I probably needed a timing belt replacement. He looked at the car and told me that I had a chain, not a belt, and didn’t charge me a dime for the time he took to check on it.
I just moved to D.C. and am considering making the trip back to Fieden if anything goes wrong with my car, because I have never been anywhere that compares to here.

Disclaimer: I dont know crap about cars. To me, my car is a mythical beast that transports me to wherever I need to go and if, horror of horrors, something goes wrong, I’m not sure what voodoo rituals are required to revive it. Which is why I like this place. It’s run by no nonsense old guys who explain WHY your car is broke and HOW they will fix it without making you feel like a total nincompoop. My car wasn’t starting and I was afraid that it was the starter since jumping it wasn’t working. They explained that the issue was sulfation of the battery due to disuse and then charged it for 10 bucks and I was happily on my way a few hours later.

Excellent and HONEST mechanic! Very highly recommended. .
I know very little about cars and am always worried that I am getting ripped off by service centers, but Jerry at the Fieden Brothers Center was extremely clear with his explanations and the cost of the work He did not pressure me into buying any particular part or work and even offered to refer me to other service stations in case I wanted to shop around. It should be noted that this is a no-​frills old school kind of garage but that’s just the type of old-​school service you’ll get: honest, solid work with integrity.

As I am about to pick up the phone, again, to call Fieden Bros for new service on my old, old Jeep I thought it a good time to recommend this place. I was turned on to these guys by my girlfriend years ago and have never been disappointed with the service I have received there. Typical of old school garages the place is a bit ramshackle and disorderly. Papers and parts piled and placed all around, the desk in the «office» seemingly an afterthought, you can tell these guys are about what happens in the garage and on the lift. No waiting room, no coffee machine, no TV lounge, barely room to stand and talk with them but they do great work at a fair price. Always communicative, they’ll give you a ring if they find something that needs urgent attention or make firm but necessary suggestions that you would be wise to heed. OK, time to call them up for a fan belt replacement, I expect it will go well like all my other interactions with them. (If you bring your car back you get on the Christmas list, free pen and day planner in Dec/​Jan! Don’t tell’em I let the secret out! ;)

Excellent mechanic, great service, knowledgeable staff.
Took my decade old Corolla here on recommendation of a friend. The car had been looked at by two other shops in Baltimore. Both claimed huge repair bill to replace pumps, belts and anything else that ‘might’ be causing a rattle under the hood (belts were new already). Shelled out for one shop — no changes or improvements under the hood. Fieden Brothers had the car for half the time as these other shops and fixed the actual problem not just some random belts.
Thank you for the solid work, honesty and service!
