Drake Auto

Made an appointment and was a couple minutes early. We chatted about the details, got the estimate, and took my car right in. About an hour later my front brakes and rotors were replaced for a fair price. The service was exceptional, very friendly and genuine. If your nav system gets you lost… its because their facility is on the back side of the building.

5 star rating, 10 star service.
It’s amazing the gems you uncover just by doing a random internet search.
I found these guys after first taking my vehicle to Sears and being met with an enormous wait time. I searched the internet.
The one time ever, I didn’t read a single review before taking a chance, I find a diamond in the midst of the internet rough and that diamond, Drake Auto Repair in Sterling, va.
They did an awesomely fast alignment and within a weeks time, I returned to have them fix my muffler. The father and son duo of Carl and Kyle work like a fine tuned engine.
I was wondering what kind of service I would get in the absence of the father half of this team but Kyle did such an amazing job with the muffler I had no doubt that no matter who you see when you arrive at Drake Auto, the job is going to be done right.
I would recommend Drake Auto Repair to anyone because if I trust them with my car, from customer service to the work being done, you can trust then with yours.
Get this, I don’t live in Sterling va but the service they deliver, is worth the drive.
I think I’ve said enough, you be the judge.

Outstanding service and priced well below their competitors. They’ve earned a customer for life!

Worked with Carl to inspect a used car prior to purchase. Professional, courteous, and just all around great to work with. He thoroughly reviewed the car and made recommendations. I’m very impressed. Highly recommend them!

Customer service was great and the prices were fair. I had new brake pads and sensors installed plus new front rotors on my F10 BMW 535i. They ordered my parts and confirmed pricing while I waited. Carl and his team had me in and out in half the time the dealer takes. I’ll be using them for maintenance moving forward.

These guys are the real deal. Friendly, courteous, professional, well equipped and technically capable, and a full axle brake job cost about half of what their closest competitor charges. Despite the few bad reviews they have, I decided to give them a shot, and I’m glad I did. It took a little longer than originally estimated, but I had them do a rear brake check and wheel alignment as well, so nothing unreasonable. But the tiny space heater they have wasn’t adequate to warm the waiting room, so I spent most of the time huddled over it. All in all it was worth the risk and I will return.

Outstanding service from Kyle and Carl. First time here decided to give them a shot basic oil change and a trans flush. Got done fast did a free check on my car and also gave me the papers of my tires and alignment check for free also my car is 09 with 115k miles. I will be going back for all my car needs. Trustworthy with great price.

Had the front control arms replaced on my car along with all 4 wheels brakes done. They did the work in a very high quality manner and at well under ½ the price the dealer wanted for the work. Just plain excellent.

Pricey, no integrity! They offered to tow our vehicle for $ 30 more than a local towing company. No thanks! When I asked for an email outlining the estimate details they only provided it after the work was done. Gave me the middle finger when I disputed the Sketchy fees that were randomly added– just for fun, (reminds me of ATT bills) without my knowledge. I was also told we wouldn’t be charged for things which somehow mysteriously appeared on my invoice. When I questioned the charge, owner Karl remembered his promise and agreed it shouldn’t be on the invoice, yet the refund didn’t happen yet. STAY AWAY FROM HERE! We went to Skyline for the rest of our work. A fraction of the price. No scalping or random, just for fun fees, all promises kept there.

I had been looking for a good mechanic for a little while and Drake Auto was recommended by a coworker. I called them and a few other places for a price quote and they were the cheapest by a few hundred dollars! Not only did they fix the problem for the amount they said but they were honest! They noticed my brakes were going bad and let me know but instead of trying to make money in that moment they let me know that I would still be alright for about another 6 months! I then had another problem with my car and they brought me in the same day even though it was the week of thanksgiving and realized it was just a matter of tightening a screw so they did not even charge me for it! I will be coming here from now on and would recommend them to everyone!
