Chevy Chase Auto Service- Citgo

This automotive repair center/​gas station just came under new management. I stopped by a few weeks ago to fuel up and decided to inquire about getting new brakes installed on my Volvo and investigating some random noise coming from the rear. The new mechanic/​manager was so friendly and professional and has over 20 years of experience working on foreign imports and domestic cars… he has even worked on luxury Euro cars like Ferrari and Porsche in the past! Not only did he know exactly what my car needed, he was able to fit me in the same day. He did a great job and at a very competitive price! FYI: Volvos are not exactly the cheapest cars to maintain if you were wondering… so my wallet was definitely a lot happier!
This is a great place and the new management are so welcoming… refreshing for the DC area!

Do not go here. I took my car here for a MD inspection. It took over two hours to perform the inspection. When i drove the car away, the wheels were not correctly put back on the car putting me and my car at risk. I took the car back. He did not think there was a problem. After arguing he put my car back on the lift and realized there was a serious problem. He did not apologize, provide a refund and even acknowledge that there was a problem.

The service center owned and operated by Noël is the best! I’ve used Noël for over 7 years and he is honest and a solid mechanic. Awesome and fair

Do not take your car here. Noël uses language barrier as an excuse to get more money from you. Underestimates time and money, won’t tell you what work he’ll perform. I took my car in for a simple inspect (only one year old) and it turned into a big fiasco. Go anywhere else.

For years I would fill up in the morning on my way out to work in various stops in Maryland. Finally, when I moved into the area, I was able to interact more often with this station and am impressed.
The staff are very friendly. Always attentive, they are engaging and polite. Most importantly, they retain staff over the years. Same soccer freak in the afternoon, super friendly asian guy in the morning and happy go lucky staff member in the weekend.
The star of the establishment is Noël. He is an honest and thorough mechanic. That’s right, I stand by that comment. Once, we brought in our mini-​van (just bought) because the DVD did not work. Another outfit had given us a $ 1800 estimate for fixing the unit. Noël? He took out his mini-​windblower (for lack of a better word) and blew the dvd player clean, after removing the unit. DVD fixed and it still is operational 4 years later.
40 minutes of work, no charge. Granted, this was after a year of servicing our cars there, but it still tells you something about this man and the hard work he puts into a day’s work.
