Master Auto Care

Kevin is amazing. He was recommended by a friend. I’ve been here a few times for work on my 2004 bmw. He communicates very well via text message and I would get picture updates of my car’s progress and all the parts. He also helped me by explaining what was wrong and why it was broken and what needed to be fixed. When i would come to pick up my car, he’d show me the boxes of the parts that were installed, so I knew of the brand etc.
Not only did he help fix my car and keep it maintained, but he taught me a bunch about the car parts too (things that are good to know).
Prices are as good as you can find, the work is top notch, service top notch, would recommend to everyone.

Kevin, the owner and proprietor of Master Auto Care, is the best in the business. I almost hate to leave such a glowing review because I do not want him to get so busy that he doesn’t have time for me and my 3 cars. I have seen Kevin deal with something small and seemingly insignificant (and it really was), but he couldn’t let it go. He had to go into his shop and get better parts and put them on. This was a small thing, but it showed me his attention to detail. (Plus the parts were small, the time was small and he didn’t charge me.)
I had taken my newest car into the dealer for a recall notice. While there, they said the power steering fluid was leaking and they gave me an estimate of several thousand dollars to do an overhaul. Because of the price, I said I would need to think about it. I took it to Kevin and he checked it out and said basically, there may be a leak, it’s a small leak; the leak doesn’t impact any other part of the engine; check your fluid levels and top it off as needed. This was over two years ago and he was right. The fluid has barely declined (in fact, it’s clearly in the range of tolerance) and the car runs fine. I could give you plenty of other examples. He’s an honest mechanic who won’t steer you into work you don’t need.
I’ve been coming here for over 10 years now.

My wife stopped by with our two small kids because the car was making a loud noise. Turned out it was a broken exhaust pipe. These guys diagnosed the problem and fixed it super quick, even staying late to do so. They even took care of some of the scratches on my car’s paint. It was truly awesome!

Kevin is the man that i can trust on automobile and very knowledgeable on everything about auto service. I have come to him for two decades, even when I purchased 3 new vehicles for past 20yrs that I don’t go to dealership for the services.

Kevin is an honest and skilled mechanic. He did an excellent job showing me my car’s issues to make me comfortable he was repairing an actual problem and not just something to charge me more. After the repair was done he even showed me the old parts so that I knew they were actually replaced. He also quoted a very fair price, did not try to up sell anything, did the work quickly, and kept me updated throughout the repair process. Service like this is rare, therefore I highly recommend this shop.

We took my our daughter’s car to Kevin twice. The first time, he was ok. The second time, he charged us 180, and only changed the oil, but did do some damage… when we picked up the car it was making a clicking noise that it had never made before. We said something to him, and he said it was normal. We stated it was NOT normal for this car. He then said he was too busy to look at it and walked away. A few days later, we got a check engine light. It turns out, he had removed the vacuum hose, and didn’t put it back on correctly, and it didn’t seal. He also broke some rubber mounts off of the air pump. Needless to say, we will never go back to Master Auto Care.

Kevin is a fantastic mechanic. He is very knowledgeable and honest. I have been coming to him for more than 3 years. He is very busy most of time, because his shop gives great service. He is well known and trusted among many, and gets the job faster than any dealership shop I have ever been too. I have recommended my family and friends and they are all happy to have found a wonderful mechanic.

Kevin has been my mechanic even when he was still working at an auto shop in Burke. Now that he owns his own shop, he still is the best and most honest mechanic out there.

I have been coming here for years. Honest, reasonably priced, very friendly and great customer service. I was referred by a friend and have been referring friends every since. As a female I have had some horrible experiences with car dealerships and mechanics. Once I found them I will never take my car anywhere else!

The only repair shop I would really go to. I trust them with my car and trust their services. They always got the job done fast and efficiently. Kevin shows me whats wrong (actually point to and explain the problem) and what he needs to do to fix it. They even showed me a couple tricks.

Trustworthy, reliable, and fast service. I’ve had lots of issues with my car and have taken it to multiple mechanics but have never felt satisfied until I came here. I got my cat converter replaced because it was leaking. I appreciate that he tried to weld the piece first even though it wasn’t worth salvaging because it was a bad piece. On another occasion, he resolved the mystery of why my engine light was on– a replacement of an ignition coil. The price was just right and he even replaced my headlight for free. I will continue to go here for any issues with my car and recommend this service for all vehicles.

I’ve been coming to Master Auto Care since I was in high school and I’ve never had a bad experience here.
Kevin always takes good care of my car and I can trust that he won’t try and charge extra services on me. He explains to me what needs to be done and why instead of just telling me what needs to fixed and sending me on my way.
I recently came by here when I failed my inspection at a Sunoco and they told me I needed both brakes replaced and one of my shocks were leaking. Kevin found that my front brakes were fine and that the technicians at Sunoco were trying to up charge me in order to get commission off the parts. I’m so glad I came by here and got it checked out by Kevin. He is really knowledgeable and kind and will work with you to fix your car for a reasonable price.

I stopped by today because my brake light wouldn’t turn off. When I got there Kevin immediately came to greet me and look at it. He and a junior mechanic were able to fix it in about 15 mins flat. He also charged ¹⁄₅ of what the dealer quoted me. Great experience, would totally recommend!

Kevin is an AMAZING mechanic. He fixed my car last minute and did it to where I was charged less than the estimate. After all that he noticed my car handle was broken and fixed it right up with the right screw – told me if it breaks again, bring it back! Very professional, and seems to be an expert in his field! Would absolutely recommend him to anyone I know!

I know nothing about a car, but as long as Kevin is around, I’m all set! He’s super honest and diligent. He finds cheap solutions to big problems. I thought I almost had to change the transmission, but apparently, all I had to do was fill up the transmission oil! I had done some maintenance with other mechanics (like merchant’s) because of proximity from home but I regret it so much. The part I thought I replaced before was still original, and I just can’t trust any other guys anymore. Highly recommended.

I took my ’04 Hyundai Tiburon to Kevin, the owner of Master Autocare and mechanic that took care of my car. I had an issue with the Airbag/​SRS light on and needed the code to see what was causing the light to pop up every time I started the car. I liked that I was shown what he was doing to my Tib and he was honest about the car issues, and provided options for the issue. Like others have mentioned, customers are treated fairly and Master Autocare will not con you. Repeat business.

Solved a huge problem
I had taken my daughter’s car to one mechanic and the dealer; after $ 1,000 it still lost power while driving. We were ready to junk it when a colleague recommended Master Auto Care.
Kevin solved the problem for $ 100! (it was the battery clamps and wires!)
Needless to say I go out of my way to bring our cars to Kevin.

Kevin Hwang is the best! I don’t know much about cars but my brother and dad always told me to just go see him and have him deal with my old Honda Civic. Our family has been going to Master Auto Care for over 8 years and will continue to go there.
A couple days ago I had to go see him because my car failed VA state inspection. The Honda dealership gave me an estimated cost of about $ 1,700.00 for all the parts I have to fix and he only charged me less than $ 800.00. Kevin kindly informed me that it’s not that dealerships are trying to rip you off but they have set the charges for all of their clients. He is trustworthy who is informative and reasonable with costs.

I have been to so many other mechanics and I always felt they were ripping my money off with unnecessary recommendations.
One of my friends suggested this place Master Auto Care and I went in with the same worried feeling, but the owner blew me away in such a good way.
He showed me (even though I don’t know about cars as much) what was the problem and also showed me the new products and compared them in front of me. So I could see the actual problems with my own eyes. It was informational and I started trusting the fix.
The best part about this place was the price!
I brought in an estimate from a different place and the owner was so kind enough to help me out with such nice prices. I was worried because if I got them done at a different place, it could have costed me about $ 1000. Of course there were some unnecessary things on the list. So he took those out and made my price down to half.
This is my first time writing a review and I am telling you, this is the place to go.

I had my engine light on for a while, so I took my car to a Mazda dealership to run a diagnostic test. Not only they charged me $ 120 for that, but they also quoted me $ 920 for works they told me to get done. They also told me if I don’t get something fixed soon, I would fail the emission test.
Me being skeptical about the dealership, I asked my fellow Korean netizens where to go for trustworthy/​honest auto places around DMV area, and they recommended me this place. I called and explained the issues to the owner, and he told me I can either come in real quick, so he can take a look or bring the car in when the engine light comes on again since my car is not in any danger for stopping in the middle of the road, which I did. The light came back on couple weeks later.
Long story short, I was very happy with the job they did and the price. And more importantly, the owner’s passion about his job definitely made me believe that my car is in good hands.
I would recommend this place to my friends and people I know anytime. I’m so glad to finally find a great place for my car and I’ll be one of many repeated customers I saw that day.
