We have been taking our cars to LXT for many years. The owner, Nelson, is super certified by Toyota/Lexus. He is a great mechanic. Plus their prices are very reasonable.

I took my 2010 RX 350 to LXT for a major scheduled maintenance for a very reasonable price. This is my second time at LXT and like the first time I was very satisfied.

We've been going to LXT for 11 years. Nelson always tries to save money for us to make it easier on our pocket book. For instance, after our catalytic converter was stolen, he found a way to not have to replace all the parts and kept the costs low. He's honest, efficient and professional. He's also an all around good dude. His sister who works with him is always pleasant and lovely to deal with.

I started taking my 2005 Lexus LS430 to LXT as soon as the warranty expired and never regretted it. Nelson took better care of my car than the dealer did. Plus, I trusted Nelson completely and knew that he was taking good care of me. They always did great work the first time--never had to go back a second time to get something fixed. They really did an outstanding job. I recommend LXT without any reservation at all.

I took my car to LXT for the first time after my dealer told me it would be $7900 to replace the air conditioning system in my car----the entire air conditioning system. They also told me my 2010 hybrid was only worth $3,000. So...who would spend $8k on a $3k car? Asked me if I wanted to speak with a sales person who could/would only ask me "what color do you want?" I thought I washed off "sucker" on my forehead but apparently I didn't. Went home in my hot car and did a search and found LXT. They looked at my car and told me they never heard of a car needing to have the entire ac system replaced; that my car was worth way more than $3k and they could repair my car for less than $3k. They did a wonderful job; I will never go back to my dealer again. In fact, dealer's customer service called the day I returned home from LXT and I told them that I would never go back there; she said she'd have management call me but it has been more than a week and I never heard from them. I am staying with LXT from now on. Thank you, Nelson for being honest, and for doing great work!!!

Excellent service and lower than dealer prices. Performed a major repair for a very reasonable price. I will continue to take my car RX 350 to LXT for routine maintenance. Thank you, Nelson.

Consistent and reliable service. They charge a fair price and are very prompt. They even cleaned the inside of my car after my last service! Very happy with this company.

Brought my 2012 Lexus here. The owner is personable once you get to know him a bit. Seems honest, and works hard to fix the car. No upsell on my first visit. I'll go back.

My experience with LXT Automotive and Mr. Nelson G was phenomenal. I was referred by a coworker to take my vehicle to his shop and he diagnosed the problem, made the repairs and the price was very fair and reasonable. Take your vehicle there without hesitation LXT will take care of you.

Honest, great and affordable work performed at LXT Automotive. Nelson is a mechanical genius who brought my 2002 Lexus RX300 back to life and on the road to continue my daily responsibilities. Highly recommended. Will do business again and again. Thank you Nelson & LXT! -Ana F.

This is one of the best places to take your Mini Cooper for repairs. I've been taking my Mini Cooper for two years now. I had been having problems with my air conditioner, after spending a lot of time and money at the Mini dealership who always seem to find other things wrong with my car then what I took it in for, and no solution to the problem with the air conditioner. I found LXT automotive. Nelson and his mechanics did a fine job I now have an air conditioner that works, they were able to open and replace the glove box that was broken. And just recently I thought I needed a knew alternator because my car wouldn't start. Nelson called me, he said we've cleaned the alternator cables and replaced the battery. Thank you, Nelson your guys are the best.

I've been coming to LXT for the past 9 years. Anytime the Lexus dealer tells me something is wrong with my car, I bring it to LXT. Nelson is a master mechanic and he has never done anything that was unnecessary to my car. The prices are always significantly lower than the dealership and he is always honest about what is needed. If he can't give a lower price than a competitor, he always matches and throws in something extra. Even though the shop specializes in Lexus and Toyota, they can fix any type of car and also can refer for body work. I highly recommend LXT.

I have known Nelson for some time, please know that he runs an honest shop with fair pricing. He has done great work on my ES 330 that I brought in for transmission service. I won't hesitate to call LXT or bring my vehicle there for service, this is a completely open and trustworthy service center and Nelson will go into detail that few others bother with. Thanks for the great service and I will be back.

Recently I took my Lexus RX300 to my Rockville dealer to check for issues and particularly the rear end. While the dealer "guestimated" that I needed new shocks at a cost of $2000, the second opinion by Nelson at LXT came up with a different conclusion. My shocks were weakening but the real problem was a broken left rear control arm and links that LXT repaired for $950, which included a 4-wheel alignment. The dealer also was willing to provide new valve cover seals for $1,000. LXT's price was $580. This is the type of experience that I have had from LXT over the years, which has resulted in my recommending LXT to my many friends who need reliable, competent and reasonably priced auto maintenance and repairs.

It is wonderful when you place your confidence in the service industry and the completed work exceeds your expectations...and does it all at a more reasonable price than the dealership. I received an LXT Automotive advertisement postcard in the mail describing its services, experiences, and a commitment to reduced costs from that of a dealership. I took a chance and had the company perform my 120K mile service and am a very, very satisfied customer, both with the results of the service and the costs. The owner is committed to good work and customer service. What a pleasure it was doing business!

Hands down the best mechanic I've ever had! I drive a 94 Lexus that's on its last legs. Nelson was honest about what really needs to be fixed so I can drive safely, and what is unnecessary since it's an old car and I'm saving up to get a new one soon. They are reasonably priced and really have excellent customer service. They'll give me a ride to the metro or a nearby Starbucks while they work on my car. They even drove out to take a look at my car when it broke down nearby and I had no way to get it over to them. They really are the best!

Nelson and the guys at LXT Automotive are great! I took my IS350 there a few months back and they treated me like a long time customer and friend. I went in for a 15k mile service and asked them to check the brakes as well. The service was less than $100, which is great considering the dealerships charge between $250-350 each maintenance check. They mentioned my pads were wearing pretty low and on top of it, my rotors were done (yep sports cars and sedans will do that). What would have been a $1,000+ job cost me only a little over $600. Guys are reasonable, honest, and great to work with! Anyone who has a Lexus or Toyota, I would highly recommend them. They also work on other imports as well as hybrids fyi. I live quite far from them, about an hour drive, but I wouldn't take my cars to any other place, Nelson and LXT Auto is the gem I wish I found out sooner about.

I'm from out of town, but was visiting a friend in Rockville when I began having car trouble. I found LXT via Google and drove over. They got to my car fairly quickly and called me with a complete diagnosis. By closing time, my car was ready to go at a reasonable price. The owner explained the problem to me very clearly and even gave me back the coil that he had replaced. Having car work done in an unfamiliar place can be a gamble, but I was satisfied with the service at LXT. Note: It's at the back of a shopping center in a row with a bunch of other mechanics' shops.

I have a '03 Lexus SC430, and my girlfriend has a '05 Audi A6. We both ONLY take our cars to Nelson. He is always informative, patient, and his work is always awesome. If you have a car that needs service LXT Automtive is the place to take your vehicle. Thanks Nelson!!!!!!
