Ben Nielsen's 10th Street Automotive

Great team! I had a car breakdown in a parking lot nearby. They were the closest repair shop, so I called to see if they had vacancy for the towed vehicle. They were super friendly and accommodating; I knew right away that I would be in good hands. They were communicative and attentive throughout my car's repair, and they gave me a full report of optional other repairs they suggested, but I didn't feel too pressured to get them done at the same visit, given the costs. They were a little pricier than other shops I've used in the past, but their attention and attitude made it so worth it to support a smaller business. I highly recommend!

Had a dead battery that needed changing - they were able to do that within 24 hours and also completed a free inspection that noticed a few other things we should / could get done. I never felt pressured to get additional work done, and the communication and pricing was both transparent and quick. They are easily reachable by phone and text message which made making decisions during the work day really easy.

All in all, great service at fair prices - and not the pressure / scare tactics of dealerships or other shops. Will be back!

car was toast after it got towed. was in the shop for 2 days and all of the crew were very helpful, respectful, and they communicated what they were doing on my car effectively. would highly recommend their services to somebody in NE DC

I visited 10th street Automotive shop recently to get an oil change and I was fortunate to get a spot for maintenance. The person at the front desk (Chris) was extremely patient with me which I appreciated. This was the first time visiting this shop. I’ll be honest, this was the most THROUGH review of my car that has ever been done. I was truly impressed. Their analysis of my vehicle was so detailed and documented I was basically in surprised. The oil change was about $110 in total. They pointed out items in my car to look out for and items that need to be addressed immediately. This location is right off H street and close to my place. Look forward to going back.

This will be another posting from me in support of this fine group. Chris and company are the best. If you waste time looking around or nickel-diming other garages, you’re doing that……wasting your time. Keep your car running by a team that cares AND stands behind their work. They truly are the best! I have 200,000+ miles on my BMW and they are the only folks who will ever touch it.

Amazing service! They helped me in a pinch and despite filing my tank with a few quarts of oil to ensure it was ok over the holidays, they didn’t charge me. We take our car here for all services and trust their advice. Always happy with their service and will continue to go there for our car needs.

This is my go to shop for maintenance and repair. I recommend to any other single woman who wants a mechanic that is thorough, professional, and honest. They always talk through repairs and strategize what's needed now, never trying to upsell. Flexible around work time, they have never failed to take of what I needed 100%.

Chris and the rest of the team were amazing. Super friendly and clear and a great report system that makes it easy to understand how your car is and what needs to be done. They are also great at communicating with calls, texts and email.

A very friendly and competent auto shop. They changed brakes and rotors on my car at a very reasonable and competitive price.

I dropped the car off in the morning and the shop gave me a lift to the Metro. Very convenient.

Got my two front tires replaced, an oil change, and a rear differential axel seal from leaking I didn't know I had until they did a full inspection. They did a thorough job, provided me a detailed report with multiple photos, and kept me up to date. They met my deadlines at every turn and did a quick yet quality job. Very impressed!

Great experience bringing my car here for the first time! The team was able to fit me in the same day I called, and the work was completed the next day. Hayden was kind, professional, and so helpful. Very impressed with the service and will be bringing my car back here again!

Took my Subaru for a minor wheel repair and periodic maintenance. They were very thorough and provided prompt feedback when finding any other issues with the car. A few days later, a minor electronic issue was discovered and they were very quick to respond and squeeze me in last minute to diagnose and address. Fortunately it was a battery issue and easily resolved.

I was stranded with a dead battery on a cold morning. The 10th Street Automotive team jumped to action and got me to their shop and off to work on a fast turn around. They were professional, straightforward, and affordable. Definitely grateful to have found them and will use them again!

Peace of mind. My son's 2005 Mustang broke down during a trip to DC. The team at 10th Street Automotive was super helpful in managing this repair long distance. Communication was excellent, diagnostic was comprehensive, repairs were thorough. I feel like the car is in even better shape than it was before. We were incredibly lucky to find this business during our difficult time.

Detailed. I appreciate them so much for the comprehensive look at my car when I came in for service. Identifying things to be completed and giving reasonable solutions. Cheers to 10th st Automotive which is a gem of an auto shop located on Capitol Hill.

I've used 10th Street Automotive twice now and it's been great and professional service both times! They made me feel comfortable and provided fast service. I will continue to use them in the future for any car needs.

I noticed my front left headlight was out. I called and was able to get an appointment nice and quick. They do a great job of letting you know how your car is generally doing and which problems should be addressed first in order of safety.

I had a great experience working with 10th St Auto and Aaron. They were knowledgeable and professional. Happy to go back to this shop in the future.

Aaron is the best, he knew the ins and out of my vehicle. I can trust him for life and keep my vehicle service properly. Thank you Aaron M.

Great neighborhood auto shop! Took my 2016 Mazda CX-5 for an oil change and annual check-up. Easy drop-off and pick-up. Friendly service and I didn’t feel like they were trying to upsell me on unnecessary repairs. I had been taking my car to the dealer for maintenance but will now be going here as it was the same cost if not slightly less and more convenient! Highly recommended!
