Route 15 Classic Garage I have been an avid BMW owner over the years and am quite picky about how I get my car serviced. I have an aging BMW X5 and as most BMW owners well know, it’s not inexpensive to maintain these cars. When I visited the new Route 15 Classic Garage to get my safety inspection, I learned that they also offer mechanical services as well. They brought in some high quality experienced mechanics that have worked on both foreign and domestic cars. I also learned that they have all the equipment necessary to repair these vehicles just like the Dealers, so I thought I would give these guys a try at repairing my back brakes. The owner, Ed (very personable) told me he could get the brakes completed at a rate under $100 per hour, saving me roughly $20-$30 per hour vs the competition. He also offered flexibility with the equipment - using the same materials that BMW uses or as other options, similar suggested equipment, or equipment that I desired. I really liked the flexibility. I can honestly say, my brake repair job was done to my satisfaction, completed on time, and at a rate that was very reasonable. I was impressed with the staff of new employees here and their ability to do foreign car repairs. I had a great experience at this new repair facility and will definitely go back there again.

I scheduled my MB E430 here after about a 2 yr absence and learned it was under new ownership. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, the service was very, very attentive. I waited for my car and was asked if I wanted any beverage, later asked if the room temperature was comfortable and when it came to what needed to be done on my car, I was brought into the service bay and shown everything that needed to be repaired, as well as what needed to be done for my safety. I was very grateful for the fine service and thought the costs were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend GAD.

Contacted Drake and it was very professional and they answered all the questions in a correct manner. All my conversations was with the owner Carl and I got the best quote. I have a 2007 Prius, first I took my car to Manassas Monroe and was quoted shy of $700 for brake pads and rotors. Next I price the parts online which can be purchase for shy of $150.00. Next I called the deal and was quoted at $534.00. Next I called Drake's and talked to Carl, and was given the price of $269.00 plus tax and shop fees which came out to $288.00. He was honest upfront and did show integrity. Yes I would use them again and will recommend to family and friends. By the way driving the car after the brake job felt like a job well done. No squeak, no pulling no jerky stops, just smooth breaking the way it should be. By the way this is my first time ever posting a review for anyone. This is how highly I thought of doing business at Drake's. Mike R

Overall a great place to go. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. That said, they WILL up-charge you signifcantly to change your engine and cabin air filter. The guy said that to change a cabin air filter, it takes 30 minutes to access the filter itself, thus necessitating a charge of $50 for parts and labor. I knew that was patently false, as it can be easily accessed on my vehicle (2013 Accord) through the glove compartment, which unhinges without any tools. I bought the same cabin air filter from NAPA auto parts for $15 and installed it myself. Essentially the same speech was given for the engine air filter, and I did the same thing. BLUF: Know about how much something should cost and how easy the job is to do it.
