Mach V Motorsports

pleasure to do business with mach v (fastwrx). customer service is excellent and fast shipping! no complaints here. transaction is always smooth and easy. thank you mach v (fastwrx)

Came here to get an alignment on my Genesis and these guys were great. They mainly work on Subarus but don’t turn other things back. Professional, courteous and had plenty of parts in store so I walked out with a few goodies. Prices are very fair. I will definitely make the trip back out if I need anything else done.

The people at Mach V are awesome. My husband is a huge car junkie and whenever he has questions or wants something installed, he goes to Mach V. Their pricing is fair and they are extremely knowledgeable with all different kinds of car makes and models. I specifically would take my car here if I am looking for high performance tuning or extensive repair work. I wouldn’t necessarily take my car here for an oil change only because they are usually pretty booked and you need to call in advance to set up an appointment.

I own a 2004 Subaru WRX STi, which purchased new in 2003. There is no car shop I trust more than Mach V. I have had Subaru dealerships tell me things that were blatantly untrue and worse perform maintenance incorrectly. It is rare to find someone like the owner, Dan, who is both extremely knowledgeable and honest. The head mechanic is one of the best, he pointed out things on my car to keep an eye on that dealership mechanics didn’t even think to look for. The labor prices are better than dealerships but more importantly they will perform the work correctly.

My husband had a few questions and called and talked to Dan. He was very helpful and answered all his questions. We did a order online and shipping was quick and everything was packed well. We would order from here again.

I visited Mach V about 6 months ago to get a custom tune. I’ve ran it in the fall and now winter and definitely pleased with the quality of their work. Dan did an amazing tune and it wasn’t easy. My car was pretty much a unicorn when it came to WRX’s. I couldn’t resolve an issue and he had never seen anything like it but my car is still running and performing like a beast since his Protune. Every time I have called or visited the guys have been welcoming and that is important. Still new to Subarus it was comforting finding a shop you could call your own and know you could count on when modding a car and engine you’re still learning.

Last Saturday my wife and I stopped into MachV to take a look and see what they offered locally. I ended up buying a few items from them, one of which they had to order and they said they’d call me when it came in which would probably be Tuesday or Wednesday. Overall we were happy with our experience dealing with Will and it seemed like shop that I could see myself doing future business with.
Looking at the bill the next day I realized that they didn’t actually charge me for one of the items, an $ 80 license plate relocator. I figured I’d just bring it up when I picked up the item they had to order.
I hadn’t heard from them so I called today (Thursday) and turns out my item was there. When I went to pick it up a couple hours later, being an honest guy, I brought up the missing charge from my bill. They had no clue I wasn’t charged for it and never would have realized it if I hadn’t said anything.
I jokingly asked if there was a good samaritan discount and Will said, sure «knock off $ 5». Umm, thanks I guess. Then he changed his mind and knocked off the 6% tax instead. Which came to a whopping $ 4.79.
I certainly wasn’t expecting them to give it to me for free but come on, I could have just kept my mouth shut and screwed them out of the ~$ 85. I don’t think it would have killed them to knock $ 10 or $ 20 off which would have still left them room for profit and would have earned them a customer for life. It’s not like I hadn’t just dropped over $ 300 on a few trinkets on my very first visit to their shop.
Hell, now that I think about it I wasn’t even offered a «thank you» for bringing it up.
Oh well, I guess that was my first and last purchase from them.

One of the most reputable performance shops in the area!
Other shops should model themselves after Mach V. Completely honest and up front. Looking forward to bringing my next car in for dyno tuning.

Just have to extend a special Thank You to Dan and the guys at Mach V. I started having some car troubles about 3 and a half hours away from home, and Dan told me if I could limp the car home, bring it by, and he may have a part laying around for it. It was a super easy install, so I popped it in right in his parking lot before he even made me pay for it. Alas, the part fixed the problem!
Dan gave a me a smokin’ deal on the part, and got me back on the road in no time! Awesome service, thank you so much to everyone at Mach V!

I had heard good things about this shop, so I took my saleen there to get a dyno run done on it. Yes, I know those specialize in Subaru’s/German cars but they said a dyno run on the saleen would be no issue. My car ran great before taking it in to them. While the car was in the shop, they gave me a list of stuff they wanted to «fix» while it was in there. This included repairing the procharger, and realigning it since they said it wasnt lined up properly. After I got the car back it was chewing through belts every few miles. I had never had this problem before. So basically everything was fine until they started messing with it. To add insult to injury, they said «sorry but we cant get your passenger window up anymore! It was working just fine before they took it in.
Months later, I decided to give them a second chance to do some repairs on my BMW since they supposedly knew how to work on these cars. I bought a radiator support bracket for over $ 300. I was going to replace it myself, but decided not to. 4 days later I asked them if I could return it, completely new and unused condition. They simply said sorry but we cant take any returns. In my book this is an unacceptable way to run business. I will never take any car there ever again, nor recommend this shop to anybody else.

Took my VW GTI to get a wheel rebalance and alignment.
They’re primarily a Subaru, Evo, Mini, and turbo BMW shop as we all know, but they can perform basic services that involve non-​specific parts on other makes and models as well. Scheduled an appointment in advance, and though the service took longer than I had anticipated, it was worth it. All the guys at the shop are really nice and friendly and don’t mind you walking in and out while you wait. The young tech explained what he observed and did for the rebalancing and aligning afterwards, so that was really helpful. They also do tech/​track inspections and have a dyno for anyone needing baselining.
Great shop, great folks, and will recommend to anyone.

Great shop. Love that atmosphere every time I go in there for parts and regularly go to buy oil and other maintenance stuff from them. I do most of the work on my car myself but when ever I get stuck these will be the guys to take care of it

First-​class! Expert, efficient, reasonably priced, and polite! I am very pleased with Mach V’s improvements to our Subaru Outback. I took their advice and am glad I did.

Mach V is awesome! I’ve been there twice in the last few weeks to get my timing belt replaced, and a few other things replaced and resealed. They’ve saved me a substantial amount of money and are extremely friendly and competent.
It all started when my Legacy GT began putting out a small amount of white smoke when I started it up. I took the car to the dealership who quoted me about $ 3.5k for a new turbo, new cam and crank shaft seals, a timing belt, and a few more things. I knew there was no way I could afford that and decided to ask around on
for suggestions.
After quite a few good reviews from Subaru enthusiasts about Mach V, I went ahead and gave them a call and brought the car in. It turns out the dealership had not only wrongly diagnosed the problem but also grossly overestimated the problems and had planned on replacing parts that were nowhere near the problem. Mach V found the problems and cost me significantly less. After two visits, I paid ~$ 1100 and had all my problems fixed (and I haven’t had any more since).
Not only were their prices much more reasonable, they were also much more friendly and competent. When I first arrived, they pulled the new part out of the box to show me exactly what was going to be replaced and explained why. They also did this the second time I came in and they showed me the old piece that had been leaking.
I will forever be a customer at Mach V whenever my Legacy has problems.

Oh yeah… time to unleash das Mini Beast! If you own a Mini Cooper, this is the place to customize it! All the staff are incredibly friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Evan did the work on my car, and was extremely thorough! They never once tried to up sell me, rather they informed me. Highly recommended for their prices and service. A local place (Atlantic Motor Sports) wanted $ 300 for an exhaust install and Mach V did mine for $ 135, not to mention had the lowest price on the product by far. I even left my «man purse» at the store only to realize I had done so an hour later, and Wayne waited for me for 30 minutes until after they were closed so I could pick it up. While it’s a 200 mile drive from my home in Virginia Beach, it is now my Mini customizing home! Thanks guys! See you soon!

Despite being primarily a Subaru shop, Mach V also takes care of Mitsubishis, BMWs, and Mini Coopers as well. I come here to get wheel alignments; it is only 99, and much cheaper than what BMW charges you. The staff is very friendly, and Matt (who usually works the counter/​picks up phone) is very knowledgeable and approachable.
From what I read on the forums online, I see that Mach V is very highly regarded in the world of Subies. For those looking for all sorts of modifications, these guys can take care of you. Additionally, for those looking for turbo-​related parts for their Mitsus, BMWs, and Minis, they can accommodate you as well.
Mach V is a quality shop, one of the best in the Northern Virginia area. I highly recommend it.

Awesome shop that specializes in Subaru’s but can also help you with pretty much anything else automotive related!
Been coming here for years, amazing service, amazing location, they stand by there work!
They have an in house dyno and carry most performance fluids and maintenance parts at all times, great for emergencies!
