Consumer Comments for Absolut Autoworks

Consumer from STERLING, VA

I have been a loyal customer for about 20 years. Like previous owner Danny Maura, current owner Julio Araujo has no interest in taking advantage of his customers. If you have a problem but it can wait a while to be fixed, Julio will tell you so. He does not use pressure tactics like car dealers often do. His staff is very friendly and competent. I can usually bring my car in the same day for a quick analysis when my check engine light comes on. Julio also has a great IT system for communicating estimates to you remotely and quickly, and for keeping records on my car's repair history. I highly recomend Absolut Autoworks.

Always works with us to get best cost and scheduling to accommodate our needs.

My brother recommended this shop in January 2022 after my Jeep had a suspension problem. They are the best I have ever dealt with in courtesy, speed, pricing, quality of repair. The only drawback is the lack of parking space in their shared cul-de-sac, otherwise, they are an excellent choice.
