I have been happy with the customer service and the mechanical work on my 2014 Porsche Boxster S. I also brought my Jeep Compass in for and inspection. I’m happy I found this independent garage.

Both my brake lights were out and I had the car seen at two other shops. The other shops will remain unnamed because this post is not about bashing. The first shop did a diagnostic on the electrical system and recommended a brake switch. That did not fix the problem, so I fired him before he had the chance to do guess mechanic work, which would have cost me more in the long run. The second place could not pinpoint the problem but he suggested several remedies and seemed to be in a rush to get me out of the shop after a two week wait for an appointment. I left that shop disappointed and confused as to why are these establishments are getting such high ratings. I called Mike at Capitol Mechanics an he told me to come by in the morning but could not promise quick service which was understandable. When I arrived at first I was skeptical if they could fix my issue because of the way the shop looked. NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!!!! Mike greeted me and was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. He told his tech what the issue was and the technician started right away and within 10 min found the problem! He explained what he did and told me it was an unplugged trunk sensor. He plugged the sensor back in and presto, the brake LED was on! I do apologize for not remembering the technicians name. Most of the praise gets thrown on the managers of the shop. I tries to leave a tip for the technician and mike told me it was not necessary! He explained why he follows this policy and only accepted my payment. Mike's wife was very pleasant as well. The only thing I see that needs attention is the lack of staff. I only saw the one tech. I should have asked if he was the only tech there. A wonderful experience is what you get from a mom and pop establishment like Capitol Mechanics.

Trust... the number one issue to consider when choosing a mechanic. Mike and his staff have worked my Saab(s), Volvo and Alfa through the years and haven't let me down. They take their time to check for the problem, give you a great look at the potential concerns... including a walk-thru. Once you've identified the issue you need fixed, it get's fixed. Most importantly, they will not make the fix without your understanding and approval and an accurate price point. That's where the trust comes into the process and it means so much. Thank you Tina and Michael.Services: Exhaust

My Subaru has been mostly trouble free while I've owned her but recently started making a noise that I couldn't figure out what was causing it. I've driven by Capitol Mechanics before and after noting the reviews, took her in. Mike and his team found the cause and got her running like new in one day. Pricing was fair and reasonable even though I'd never been there before. Highly recommended, I'll be going back to them for my next service.

They refuse to take public health seriously and refuse to wear masks even around elderly vulnerable people. They do not respect their customers and have made multiple mistakes fixing our car which has lead us to come back multiple times.

I bring vehicles from my body shop to Mike and his team at Capital Mechanics when they have engine issues. I used him because I was referred to him from a networking group our business belongs to. He is awesome at what he does and I am beyond happy with the work he has done for me. Last time I had a vehicle at Capital Mechanics It needed a new engine and we got the car back in less then a week. There was a check engine light on and so we sent it back to Mike. He looked it over and could not figure out why we were getting a timing code. We sent it to the dealership and after 4 days they figured out the motor was a different motor then the vehicle was supposed to have. I guess a slight variation in the model was causing an issue. We found out that the salvage yard that Mike bought the used engine from had labeled their part wrong and that is why we were having this problem. Mike paid for everything at the dealer and towed the car back to his shop. He forced the yard to take the engine back and give him the right one and after a couple days he had the car back to me. My customer who had to endure this process was super happy. Capital Mechanics went beyond what most other shops would have done and I feel great bringing my cars to Mike whenever I need anything. It says a lot about a business when they stand behind their work. Thank you Mike for being such a great guy and running a business that does the right thing for it's customers! I will be referring as many people as I can to Capital Mechanics!

I have been going to Capitol Mechanics for nearly a decade. If there's anything they can do to help a customer, they'll bend over backwards to make it happen. They even saved me from buying a used car that had far more problems than the dealer let on. They have my full trust, and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else!

I want to love these guys because the reviews were so spectacular, but I can't. I went in for an inspection months ago and not a single person was wearing a mask, not even in my car! I was terrified and sanitized my car thoroughly afterwards. All they had was hand sanitizer at the front. They even had a coffee machine and water cooler available which is also not sanitary right now. I thought the inspection was fine, but barely a month later, I found out I had frozen calipers from another shop. My car shouldn't have passed inspection.
