Eric & Kristine are the best. They have worked on two of our Jeeps, and they always do a great job at a great price. That’s why we keep going back.

Brought my Jeep Srt in today and had a borla atak and other mods installed and the quality of work was phenomenal. Everyone is beyond friendly and knowledgeable and the price for the work and results was beyond a bargain.
They did everything I wanted exactly how I would want it and even had to fabricate something to compensate for the fact that I brought in a part that wasn’t designed for my exact car. I wanted to keep my original exhaust but didn’t have the means to transport it at the time and they offered to put it aside for me when I did have the right vehicle to transport it. Very easy going process throughout and it seemed that no matter the question, I wasn’t treated like an imbecile if I didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. I highly recommend them.

Eric and his team are extremely responsive to the needs of the customer – no matter the question they are always responsive.
Car repair can be a daunting process I appreciate the recommendation received by Evan long when ago regarding Eric’s company EPR Automotive.

We needed a place to take our truck to for repair but didn’t know anyone. I searched and learned of EPR. We took our truck there and couldn’t be happier.
Eric was knowledgeable, sincere, and very helpful. Explained what the problem was, showing us while doing so. Worked with us re: scheduling, provided updates, and was really great the whole way through. Our overall experience was the best. EPR will be our go to place!

If I could give EPR a higher rating I would. Eric was highly recommended to me by a couple of my daughter’s friend’s mom. I could not be happier. True to word too from the other moms, they said I likely have been paying way too much for car repairs all these years and that Eric’s rates would be a lot less.
He uses OEM parts too not after market or non-OEM parts. I am not an expert with cars which is why I have to completely rely on someone else. I had been going to a very reputable place in Rockville for over 10 years. They did decent work but I think I had been paying at least 50-100% more.
Eric truly lives up to his mission statement of being an honest mechanic. I don’t normally write Reviews unless I can completely and highly recommend a place. EPR warrants the 5 star review – high integrity and professional.

…It’s with a lot of surprise and pleasure that I report that I finally found a good car mechanic who meets the holy grail of criteria: honest, smart, good people person, nearby, good rates, great front desk. … Eric is the mechanic, and he not only knows which way is up on your car (not always a guarantee, trust me), he will explain why it is up and not down and how it might be even more up, in plain English, in a completely understandable way. Not a common skill, believe me. He clearly is all about cars, is a total car person, and I’ll be having him do everything I can’t do myself from now on. … One last note: the garage is incredibly clean. I have spent a lot of time about cars and mechanics generally and I have seen some stuff in my time, and Eric’s garage is by far the cleanest I’ve ever encountered. No black smudges on the floor, all tools in their rightful place, everything seems color coded or to be in a purposeful place… I was impressed.
The real deal, ladies and gentlemen – a really great car shop.

Finding a good mechanic is not easy, and I wouldn’t dream of taking my cars anywhere else. They take time to explain things, and don’t automatically recommend a particular service just because the car hits a certain mileage. They look at what the car needs and indicate what’s actually necessary.
Don’t think twice about going to EPR, they’ll treat you right.

Took my SUV to Eric and within 15 minutes and a test drive he had an idea of what it was (rear bearing was going). He gave me a quote to make the repair and I called back the dealer and asked for a quote for the same work and it was about 30% higher. Brought it to Eric who made the repair – he even texted me pics as he went along, detailing what he was finding and confirming his diagnosis. When I came to pick it up he had all the old parts laid out to show me exactly what the problem was and explained why it was a good thing I had the work done. The pics and the parts display at the end were both new experiences for me and, quite frankly, pretty cool. And, for the record, as soon as I drove off I noticed that the problem was gone and my truck was back to normal.
Oh, almost forgot – when I came to pick it up I mentioned I forgot to ask him about a vibration I could hear under the truck. Without hesitation he started the truck, heard the vibration, threw it back on the lift, welded a couple of points and the vibration was gone. Took him about 15 minutes and he didn’t charge me for that…
So let’s see – fantastic service and great pricing. Never thought that could happen with car repair Eric has proven me wrong! Would recommend without hesitation.

It is very frustrating now a days to find a good, reliable place to take your car when it needs repairs done. Thankfully I found Eric (through my hubby) and him and his team took care of me. They were respectful of my time, reliable, good communication and fast! I definetly recommend their services because they realy do take care of their clients and the cars! Thank you EPR Automotive!

I have been taking my vehicles to Eric for about 20 years now, and my whole family has been taking their cars to EPR since it opened. Best care in the area, hands down!

We’ve gone to Eric for years, even before he opened up EPR. I trust him implicitly and he’s never steered us wrong. For example, my brakes were squeaking and I thought it might be time to get them replaced. He told me no, that I still had at least 20% of my brake pads left and that the squeaking wasn’t anything to worry about. Don’t think twice about going to EPR, just go there!

I drive halfway across Montgomery County to take my car to EPR. They always take good care of me, and I know I’m getting a fair price and great customer service.
