Method Automotive in
Rockville (MD)

In one statement: honest service. Been going here for all my car repairs since 2023. From my first appointment with method 2 years ago, Paul and his team are honest and explain the issues they find. I've had everything from oil changes to battery replacements to brake rotors/pads replaced to having the steering fixed, and I've always had fair pricing for the work done, Paul tells me the issue and they ask before doing the work after they give the price estimate. Mary in the front office is always prompt in communicating with you: appointment times, when your vehicle will be ready, etc.

Paul always answers our questions and makes sure we make informed decisions on our cars. He also makes time for us in emergency situations.

My name is Terry Caldwell I brought my vehicle to Method Automotive. The owner Paul worked with me while I had a unexpected family emergency during the repair process. They worked out a plan for a later pick up and payment plan. Mary who runs the front desk communicated every step of the process clearly and always kept me updated. Josh their lead tech was highly knowledgeable and showed me the multiple failures my car had before moving forward with the repair. They are a good crew and treat everyone like family while maintaining more than fair pricing. They provide nearly every auto service and specialize in Euro. I would highly recommend this auto repair shop.

Great shop highly recommend. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. They explain everything very well and always do a great job with whatever work needs to be done. Quality work and mechanics

Thank you Tasha for recommending Method Automotive! Very helpful and did a great job on my car!

Paul is the best! He’s been working on my cars for over 15 years, and I couldn’t be happier that he finally opened his own shop. He is honest, professional, and genuinely cares about every single customer who walks through his doors. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my cars. Paul is extremely knowledgeable about all makes and models, but he’s especially skilled when it comes to BMWs. His experience, integrity, and dedication make Method Automotive the only place I’ll ever go.

Amazing automotive shop conveniently located just outside of the king farm neighborhood of Rockville! Fast and friendly services with quality technicians and quality parts! Highly recommend! Thanks Paul!

Paul is extremely knowledgeable in the automotive field. He is also very pleasant and honest compared to most shops in the MOCO area.

Look no more! This place is a hidden gem. The owner, Paul is very knowledgable, has years of experience, and works on your car himself! No bells and whistles, but an honest person with your safety in mind. Prices are very reasonable, definitely competitive with today's market. Five stars for sure!

The Most Honest and Professional Mechanic Many auto shops make a living by taking advantage of customers' lack of knowledge, pushing unnecessary services just to make a sale. But Method Automotive is different. They truly care—not just about making a profit, but about their customers' well-being. Paul is an absolute expert in his field, the most knowledgeable mechanic I’ve ever met. He doesn’t just fix cars—he takes the time to guide you through necessary repairs, helping you make informed decisions based on your needs and budget. His skill and experience are unmatched; I genuinely believe there’s nothing he can’t fix. The entire team is fantastic. Mary at the front desk is professional, attentive, and always greets you with a smile, making the experience even better. I’ve been coming to Method Automotive for over a year, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! Thank you, Method Automotive team, for your honesty, skill, and exceptional service!

The only mechanic I trust! Paul is so helpful and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to help me get the parts I needed when I was in a not-at-fault accident when insurance pushed back. He also always does his best to get the work done as fast as possible. As long as I’m in the DMV area, I’m taking my car here!

A great mechanic! Very honest and will definitely give the best price they can. Paul is ways available to assist and I love how he keeps it real! I highly recommend giving this company a chance, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Took my car in and I am very impressed with Paul and how the shop is run. It has extremely fair pricing, he got me in and out in the same day, and I appreciate the attention to detail to diagnose the issue with my car. Paul truly cares about his work. He even followed up with me a few days later to make sure everything was working well. Bonus points for Paul having the coolest glasses I have ever seen.

i love paul and the work he does. he’s very honest, humble, and is great at what he does!! i got my roof wrapped and a spoiler installed and am very happy with the results. will definitely be a returning customer.

This place is amazing! Came recommended from a very close friend of mine years ago and they helped me with something that was wrong with my first car. I know absolutely nothing about cars and have zero intention to because I know that Method Automotive knows what they're doing. Terrence is the person that I usually speak to and helps me with my car and Paul is also really helpful! So grateful to know about this place! 10/10 cannot recommend enough!

Paul is super knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. He earned my continued business after day one when he allowed me to come in right before closing on a holiday weekend and quickly diagnosed my car’s issue. You won’t go wrong by choosing Method Automotive.

Paul has been great with my cars that I have brought to him both old and most recent! He did all 4 brakes for less than the honda dealership was quoting me for my civic si and much faster as well! also recently did my spark plugs and that was super simple and quick too. He explains things well and his team is awesome. Terrance is always a pleasure. will be back again! thank you for keeping my car alive!

Paul and his team are always a pleasure. Besides being very genuine with customers, they are also swift and excellent mechanics. Paul took a look at my car on a Saturday afternoon and fixed up a pretty bad oil leak and a few other repairs in under three days. My car is back to driving how it should, and safely, too. Couldn't ask for better service or quality of care. Thanks again!

I am absolutely amazed by Paul's services! I initially found him through a quick online search when I needed a tire patch right before I went on a longer trip. The same week he helped me fix my tire twice right then and there. His friendly demeanor and great service made me go back for an entire rear break replacement. He replaced everything within a couple of hours and even though he had to order a part which was unexpected, he was still able to finish an excellent job the same day! I will only take my car to him for service in the future! Highly recommend!

I come here all the time to get my car repairs done. Paul and team are very meticulous about their work and make sure I understand the repairs to be made. Ample communication and reasonable prices - would highly recommend this auto shop.

I've been bringing my vehicles to Paul for over 4 years. Through all my vehicles, both new and used, he's always provided the most accurate, up to date, and efficient care for all of them. When I moved, I was unable to get to him due to distance, which left me in a deeper whole. Once I brought my vehicles back to him he was able to pinpoint the current issues, mistakes done, and quickly devised a plan that would help me have an effective and safe car, all while taking into consideration my situation, cost, and convenience. He always has the safety of my vehicle at the for front of my visits which I appreciate the most. I honestly now make the over an hour drive to ensure my vehicles don't get back to what they used to. Both him and Terrence make a power team there. Its definitely worth my lengthy drive and money!

These dudes are seriously the best! Was doing a forester strut swap into my WRX and while installing trailing arm spacers, I stripped 3 bolts and broke nuts free on the frame, which led me to have to re-assemble what I could and limp my car down the road to this shop. They were super transparent about the very costly procedure with me, and showed me exactly what they were doing, and why it took so long. They also finished the full install for me, and did a great job on it too. I put bigger tires on to match the height, and they ended up rubbing a bit on the pinch weld, and at this point I was pretty much broke, so I called them and asked for advice, and they offered to lend me their biggest hammer for a couple days at no cost, and gave me advice on what to do too. Worked out great in the end, and really thankful they saved my but.

Trusting a mechanic is not easy given my terrible experiences in the past. However, Paul is outgoing, honest, friendly, professional and reasonable with pricing. This is the only place I will bring my cars. Whether you need maintenance work or upgrades, this is your one stop shop. Thank you Paul and team.

I've been a BMW owner for 17 years, and this is the best servicing experience I've had. You always wonder if you're getting the straight answer at the dealership, and of course you pay a premium. Owner, Paul, is friendly, fast, straightforward and easy to work with. Best rates, service turn around and response time. No-nonsense, no hassle! It's refreshing. Cars break and need work but a shop's communication and honesty makes or breaks the experience. Don't waste your time and money elsewhere; go here.

Very professional and knowledgeable service! Paul knows exactly what he is doing and will only quote you on the actual problem. He is a very honest mechanic that will fix almost anything wrong in your car and charge you the most appropriate fee. I never feel like I have to worry about my car when Paul is working on it. Definitely one of the best mechanics in the state of Maryland!

My car was in for a clutch repair. The owner, Paul and his tech are extremely friendly and efficient. Gave a fair and competitive price. He also spotted a problem from previous mechanic. The work was done within the given ETA. Great mechanic and will be back again!

Paul is knowledgeable and ethical, it is hard to find an honest mechanic and that is exactly what he is. He always makes sure the job is done right and is easy to communicate with. I had several issues with my 2007 BMW 530xi, he not only fixed them for a fair price (I called around and did price comparisons with other shops), but he also advised me on how best to care for my car to extend its life and reduce wear and tear. I highly recommend him as a mechanic.
