Hi everyone, I just want to let you guys know that this place is dishonest place! Do NOT go there please, if I would have a chance I would give them a zero star but the system doesnt allow me. here is my story... This week I had an accident, I called from the place where I had an accident and asked the owner whose name is Cory if they fix cars with an accident. He said "yes", "bring it". So I brought my car, gave them a key and he told me that he will call me later and tell me how much it will cost. It was very important for me to get the best price, because my insurance didnt pay. I had to pay it out of my pocket. For my old 2005 Toyota corolla he said will charge $3500 plus tax. Also it was with a discount, otherwise I would have to pay $4000. For the car with a perfect engine, perfect carburetor and perfect bumper. Which bumper wasnt even touched to damage my air bags. Just need a cosmetic job for air filter, replacing the lights, changing the Freon which might maximum cost $1000, this dishonest Cory wanted to charge $4000. Which actually his shop doesnt not even work with a body of the car. They wanted to give it to somebody who can fix that, instead of referring me to that person. He knows that I am a student and do not have any support, even then tried to screw me. I said okay and went shop around. It took me one day to fine someone for $2500 everything included. I think it is a significant mount of money. I came back next day and told him that I am not willing to fix it right now and wanted to get a car back. But that greedy Cory wouldnt give my car back because I parked in front of his shop for one day. He charged me for that one day $50. Can you imagine $50? I think it was little too much. He was ready to loose a regular customer who used to go for any kind of repair, oil change, state inspection job every two month ONLY because of that $50. I have never seen a greedier person in my life. Oh my God protect me from such a people. Do not buy oil change deals, he accepts them only one, plus he will charge on top of it extra fees and tax. When usually people buy a coupon I dont think there should be any kind of extra fees. So people decide, if you dont want to be scammed or screwed, pass around this BLOODY MECHANIC SHOP.

Capitol Auto Land saves the day. My Honda had acceleration issues, so I initially took it to Curry’s auto. After they charged me approximately $120 for the diagnostics test, they told me that I need a new transmission for the hefty price of $3000-$4000, or $800 to install a used one that I would have to bring them. Nevertheless, I got a second opinion at Capitol Auto Land down the street because that was the only place I could drive to with the acceleration issue. Capital Auto Land told me that they could rebuild my transmission with all new parts for $1300, or install a used one for only $400 (half the price of Currys cost). However, after I explained the symptoms to them, without any costly diagnostic tests, they knew right away that it wasn’t the transmission at all but simply a computer part that controls the transmission. I ended up paying about $150 for the part and labor. That means that they fixed my car for almost the same price as the other auto shop charge to just diagnose the problem. My vehicle is running perfectly fine now. I can truthfully say that Capitol Auto Land is one of the few mechanic shops that I have been to in my life that I can say I honestly trust.

Updated. Manager apologized and took my car.. reimbursed fees and did what he could. Thats good enough for me. Terrible customer service. Tuesday 6/06/2017 Brought my white 2012 gti for oil an change. This is not an exaggeration, it took 1 hour to finish and there was no line, plus they left dirty prunts inside and out of the car. I dont know where the good reviews are coming from but my experience here was horrendous. I thanked them anyway and promised myself I will never come back. But ironically..... Thursday 6/08/2017 I dont drive to work as i bike everyday. When I went to the garage, I saw a puddle of oil. This car has never had a leak prior to the service. So I called the manager. Not a single apology, he was even very rude and aggressive and told me it wasnt their fault but bring it over. I have a very tight sched and he doesnt even care about the trip, time, effort and money wasted on this thing. I told them I can go Saturday. Saturday 06/10/2017 (today) I came back and props to him for wanting to waste no time taking my car. Reimbursed everything and upgraded me to full synth. He wasted 15 quartz of oil but made sure he did what he could.

I found this little gem off of a Living Social deal and went there for the first time 2 months ago for my first oil change. Geniune and friendly service from the manager, mechanics and all around. Very professional. At my oil change there were a few little other issues with my car that I wanted them to check out and I appreciated that they took the time (although pretty busy) to take me on a test drive in my vehicle so we could identify exactly what I was worried about. Im familiar with the condition of my car, and nobody was pushy or tried to oversell me (If anything they were underselling me). They recommended to me some work that was semi-serious and reasonably priced that, because of my schedule, I chose to wait on. Eventually this problem got worse and when I really needed it done I called Corey, the Manager, at the last second on a Friday and because of the nature of the issue he squeezed me in the very next day. My car now runs amazingly! I dont exactly live super close to the shop but visit the area frequently so when I do Ill go out of my way to save my car maintenance needs for Capital Auto Land.

Im here now! My groupon for the oil change was only $12 (add $10 to make the oil change a synthetic blend). They did it in less than an hour. I needed a tire patched and it was an extra $20 and took an extra 20 minutes. Which was cool. They were really busy, yet efficient especially with an appointment. The GM Cory really knows how to treat ppl. Not just customers, but ppl. Genuine dude. I love the service. He also gave me some advice regarding my other concerns as well. I primarily use groupon oil change deals but I feel like I will definitely revisit this service station. As I said, Im still here so I havent checked out the quality of the work yet, But Im hopeful. Also, theres free WiFi here too so bring your laptop and work while you wait.

I was in desperate need to get my brake pads and rotor changed and I called around to shop around for the best price. As usual, Capital Autoland was the most affordable and I know from experience Cory and his team always does a good job. He got me in the same day, which I was so grateful for because his schedule is usually pretty booked. Not only that but he goes above and beyond for his clients. I had mentioned that I was going to walk to the DMV which is 1 mile away and he asked his good friend to drive me over there. I was surprised but that just speaks to the type of person that Cory is. Great guy, honest, high integrity and he just does great work. I highly recommend him and Capitol Auto Land.
