Zolly Motors Automotive

If you have a BMW and you live in Arlington this is the place to go! As soon as my warranty was up on my 2006 BMW 325 I immediately went to Zolly’s and have never regretted it since then. The great part about this place is that they get your car in and out in one day no matter what it always seems like they could fix it within a day and it will be ready for me to pick up in the evening. They are super knowledgeable and very upfront with you and will tell you exactly what you need to know. Their pricing is extremely fair and I would totally recommend anyone who doesn’t have a BMW warranty to take their car to Zolly’s.

My husband and I decided to sell our second car at Carmax. Before we could do so, we needed to address a few mechanical and aesthetic issues. I found Zolly’s /​Specialized online as an authorized BMW mechanic and figured it would be cheaper to bring the car than go to the dealership. I dropped it off with a list of problems to diagnose and fix. Wayne called me when he said he would and gave me estimates for the work I had asked for and also some other things he noticed that should be addressed. When I explained that I was about to sell the car and didn’t want to spend any more money than was absolutely necessary, he clarified exactly what was needed versus what could be ignored given my intentions to sell. There was absolutely no pressure from him at all, which I really appreciated. He was also able to repair an item that I thought would need to replaced which saved me a bunch of money…
In the end, he did the work I asked him to do at a fair price (I had priced the replacement items online prior to bringing the car in and his prices were consistent with what I found online. He did the work quickly and offered to stay late so I could pick the car up on my way home from work.
Overall, I was extremely happy with the whole experience and will certainly bring our other car here in the future.

Where are 6 stars?
I took my recently out of warranty BMW to Zollys. They charged me 79 dollars for the service that BMW wanted 350 for.
They were totally fantastic, I am going to be going back.
Great thing is that Martin took the time and provided me a print out of every thing that I will need in the next 15,000 miles to have done with a print out of the cost. He took the time to discuss each item and was a real pro.
Highly recommend.

I have a 2004 Land Rover Discovery SE and have taken it to Zolly a few times in the past 18 months. Zolly Motors, and especially Wayne Rippy have been great. My car is older obviously and has low mileage for its age. About 84,000 miles. There are 3 – 4 major items that require repair and we worked a program out to do one item at a time. Two to go. :) They call you immediately, work late for pick ups and are very accomodating. It’s a short walk to the orange line metro at Clarendon, so I usually drop my car off, grab a pint and chili at Hard Times café and then head back into DC. They’re good honest people and Zolly has been in Arlington since I first moved to the area in 1989 (if not before then). Doug W
