They truly care for he cars and go beyond their duties.
I have used Satellite Motors since the late 1980s and have always been satisfied with the quality of their service and advice. I now live ann hour away (or more depending on traffic) but my wife and I still will only get our Toyotas serviced there. My latest service experience was excellent as always. Moe and team treated me with their typical honesty and competence!
Satellite motors is great place to get your car serviced and they are reasonable in price and quality work on cars. I get all my three cars service with them and I have being with them for 13years
True professionals. Honest and thorough car care.
Excellent service with detailed explanations of the work performed, including pics of the wheel showing the damaged area. Staff are courteous and professional.
Basic scheduled maintenance, Satellite tracks history recommends needed
Excellent shop and service, they are there to save you money and keep your car running smoothly!
We love Satellite Motors! They have serviced our cars for years. We trust their assessment of problems and have been very happy with their work and their customer service. They rushed a job for us today when they could have done otherwise!
very competent mechanics at very reasonable prices. they have been taking care of my 2 toyotas for more than 20 yrs. they are trustworthy. i have recommended them to my friends.
Moe is Very knowledgeable!! Excellent service! A very professional approach in handling my car and what was needed. I am so glad I found Satellite Motors. I have found a solid mechanic! Highly recommend this auto shop!
Excellent
The best mechanic shop in the area. Trustworthy, quick and reliable service. Moe and his guys are great. My family has been going here for years with several different cars and we’ve had nothing but exceptional service. You’ll be lucky to work with them. Thank you Moe!!!!
After taking my car to 2 other mechanics in the area over the past 2 years to try to solve an issue with the A/C, Satellite Motors CAME THROUGH and was able to properly diagnose and fix the issue!

After taking my car to 2 other mechanics in the area over the past 2 years to try to solve an issue with the A/C, Satellite Motors CAME THROUGH and was able to properly diagnose and fix the issue! (The other places said the A/C just needed to be charged - but then it would stop working after 20 minutes). My car also needed 80k mile service, and they found some other issues that needed to be remedied as well (I knew the car wasn't driving smoothly - but I didn't know why.) Mo and the staff at Satellite were so thorough, responsive, detailed and I appreciated that they communicated via text and phone and I had a full understanding of everything, including detailed estimates and their honesty in what I could fix now vs what I could wait for. The email correspondence and follow up has also been great, and I am glad to finally have my car on a maintenance plan with history attached to it. I literally have peace of mind now. My husband will be taking his car there soon for a tune up as well. I also LOATHE taking my car to the shop, mostly because of the way I have been treated by the folks working at the shop - never once was I made to feel inferior or treated unkindly by the fantastic staff at Satellite. They were professional, kind, patient and are absolute experts on cars. We will never take our business anywhere else. Thank you Satellite Motors of Silver Spring! Less
I have been a customer since the early 90's and have always been satisfied.
I felt very secure having my car serviced at Satellite Motors: mechanics were straightforward, knowledgable, courteous. They gave my car a thorough inspection (as it was the first time I left it with them) and did ONLY what was required at that time. We set up a plan for regular maintenance. They returned my car in perfectly clean condition. I will return.
The do honest, good work and keep your ride running smoothly.
I love this mechanic! I’ve been bringing my car here for years, after an older car had a leak in the brake fluid line that made the brakes get softer and softer over time. I brought it to multiple mechanics and they kept blowing me off and saying that the brakes in that style car were just soft. I was literally having nightmares about not being able to brake the car.

I love this mechanic! I’ve been bringing my car here for years, after an older car had a leak in the brake fluid line that made the brakes get softer and softer over time. I brought it to multiple mechanics and they kept blowing me off and saying that the brakes in that style car were just soft. I was literally having nightmares about not being able to brake the car. I brought the car to Satellite at a recommendation from a friend and they listened to me and found the problem right away. I’ve always found that they listen to me, explain things when I ask, don’t overcharge, and even refer me to the dealer for fixes that could be under warranty to help save me money. Also the shop is metro-accessible (though a bit of a walk) so it’s relatively easy to drop my car off and come back later. Less
They are honest, fast, super knowledgeable-so much so other mechanics come to them-and they’ll work with you on not just maintenance but ways to make your car last longer!
I have trusted Moe and Satellite Motors to assess and fix two very used cars for my kids when they got them. I am confident based on their reputation and my family experience that they will fix what needs fixing and—just as important—not “fix” what doesn’t need fixing: they treat us fairly. What more can you ask?
As always, it was great and affordable. They are the best‼️
I really appreciate Satellite for their prompt service, and for the clear explanations of what's important -- and why -- and what can wait. Beats the heck out of going to the dealer!
Moe was able to find a replacement mirror for me that Toyota said was back-ordered. He replaced it quickly, and saved me several hundred dollars compared to what Toyota wanted to charge me. He is as honest as can be, and always does excellent work

Moe is very experienced, knowledgeable, detailed, and helpful in explaining and applying the exact services needed to maintain Toyota Avalons for many years into the future. He is punctual and always willing to breakdown services that are essential and urgent vs those that are needed, yet can be delayed for a specific time period. I especially recommend Satellite Motors for car owners who plan to keep their cars running well for 10+ years! Less
Great experience and customers service!

They provide quality work at a reasonable price.
As usual, I was treated with courtesy and respect, the service was excellent and fast, and the price was very reasonable. I strongly recommend Satellite Motors.
Satellite is the best. They've kept our cars on the road for more than 40 years. The reason we drive Toyotas is because back then, that was all they serviced. Now they service all rice burners.

Satellite is the best. They've kept our cars on the road for more than 40 years. The reason we drive Toyotas is because back then, that was all they serviced. Now they service all rice burners. Why are they so good? Skill & integrity. They know their stuff and are careful to make sure that all systems are in peak condition. This most recent visit they discovered a couple of incipient problems we didn't know about & fixed them. Over 40 years, occasionally stuff has happened, and they've always treated me right. No one's doing wall jobs at Satellite & no one's saying "Oopsies!" & putting on the road a vehicle they've accidentally damaged. Great service at a great price. I'll never go any where else. Less
Moe and the team are super responsive and reliable. Highly recommend.
Trustworthy and high quality work.
Another great service at Satellite Motors, this time for our Subaru Outback. We’ve been going to Satellite for over 25 years and they are just the best. Moe and his team do excellent work, are honest and never recommend work that’s not needed. And they are conveniently located in downtown Silver Spring, a short walk from the metro. I highly recommend them!
Moe is honest telling you what needs to be done and not adding unnecessary work on your car. Pricing is fair and service is best.
Been with Moe for a few years now after Bob of Bob’s Toyota retired. He has continued in that fabulous tradition. Good service, fair, honest and informative. Lucky to find such a great shop.
Been a customer for over 20 years. Always clear about what work will be done. Very high quality of work and very professional staff.
Always a pleasure to do business with honest, hardworking people!!
Very knowledgeable staff. Work done promptly and completely. First rate organization.
Great, dependable service!
Excellent service and follow up! I've had to take my vehicle in for something totally different from my last post. And the hits keep coming!! Satellite is the BEST!!
We took our 18 year-old Toyota Prius to Satellite Motors after having used another mechanic for years. Satellite Motors first did a comprehensive check of our vehicle and discovered many deferred maintenance items. They worked out a plan to address those over a several month period. Thanks to Satellite Motors, our car now even has it's own website! Well, online service history, but still!
My husband and I have been taking our cars to Satellite Motors for the past 2 decades. We always receive excellent service and because of this, we have been able to keep our cars running for a very long time. You are never pushed to have them perform a service that doesn’t need to be done. They are very honest and don’t try to cheat the customer. We will never take our cars to anyone else.
Mo replaced the windshield wipers without an appointment and checked why a warning light was on and didn't charge any labor. They are wonderful!
I love Satellite Motors! They provide great pricing and excellent service. They keep my SUV running in tip top shape. Moe goes the extra mile. He saved me money on a leaky battery replacement by calling the manufacturer to verify it was still under warranty and got the battery replacement for free. You won’t regret taking your car here!
Visiting the DC area and needed a repair and some servicing. Found Satellite through a recommendation and lucky that I did. Moe provided great service and expertise, and communicated frequently as he worked to identify the issues. A true pro, and a great experience all around at Satellite Motors!
Satellite Motors is the best car maintenance facility ever! I have taken my vehicles there for over 20 years. They are experts in Toyotas and other foreign cars. My first Toyota 4-Runner went over 300,000 miles before I purchased another. My second 4-Runner is approaching 300,000 and running without any problems. Satellite Motors cares more about my car than I do!
Excellent service - been going here for 30 years
Satellite Motors is the best place I've used for car care. I trust their recommendations and find their service is always top notch.

Satellite Motors provided cost estimate ahead of time, informed of unanticipated parts needed and costs, parts were ordered from various sources (due to being an old car and many services were provided), cost was as expected. Preventive services were also provided. Mo, the owner, is a straight and honest shooter. After major services, vehicle runs excellent.
Very satisfied with car inspection before an over night trip. They said car was good to go after an oil change and check of different fluid levels.
The Satellite staff went above and beyond to solve my problem.
Moe and his team are very professional and they always get the job done well. Reasonably priced and reliable!
Satellite has always been utterly reliable and has kept our cars running well for many years. Who else would I trust? They are the best.
We always count on Satellite for reliable, cost-effective service. They’re great problem solvers, too.
Satellite Motors is the only place I trust to service my car. I have been a customer from the mid 1990’s. They are thorough, honest, and they list what needs to be serviced at your next visit on your invoice. I will not trust my vehicle with anyone else. Moe and his team are the best.
Fantastic service with lots of information and updates plus a plan to do full tuneup in stages, which was a wonderful experience versus a huge estimate all saying it needed done right away as is typical for a tune up service. We’ll be loyal customers from now on!
I use Satellite motors for my car care needs. I drive thousands of miles all over the United States and Canada each year and Satellite Motors has done all the maintenance on my car. They are like that hole in the wall restaurant everyone loves. In every aspect they are true professionals you can trust.
They were exceptionally thorough and communicative. They kept us aware of potential problems but also did not suggest repairs that were not necessary right now. The assessment revealed problems we will need to address that other mechanics had never suggested. We appreciated the honesty and think we have someone who can keep this vehicle running for a long time. We would highly recommend them.
Wonderful service, as usual
Moe and his team are amazing. My 2008 Infiniti G35 suddenly leaked coolant and the dealership's repair estimate was so expensive, I was considering a new car.

I called six different auto repair shops in Downtown Silver Spring, each called back minutes later only to say they unfortunately could not handle the repair my Infiniti needed. Moe was the only person to confidently let me know what the problem was, reassure me he could fix it, and give me a solid estimate, that was significantly cheaper than what the dealership quoted me. He and his team are the best. After going through dozens of repair shops, I am thrilled to find one that I am confident in. Thank you Moe and team! Less
Excellent service, explains everything to be done, fair prices -.was visiting from out of town and he saw me immediately - would highly recommend
Moe is great - his orientation is to keep my old Toyota pickup running safely as long as possible. I really appreciate the care and attention I get at Satellite Motors.
Grateful I found Satellite Motors. Mo is man of honor and treats me and my car with respect and professionalism. He’s like a family doctor for my car. My car is in excellent health thanks to Satellite regular maintenance and necessary repairs. BTW, it's a 17 year old Toyota with over 155K miles. Thank you, Mo.
Satellite Motors of Silver Spring is just an excellent service provider and I will remain a loyal customer because of their outstanding work.
I have been using Satellite Motors for over 10 years. They are great. The owner is so nice and professional. I definitely would recommend.
Always excellent service at a reasonable price. Friendly staff
Excelente trabajo.
Sattelite Motors employees are fantastic! I've taken my cars there since 1997 and I appreciate their personal touch and complete transparency and competence! Their mechanics are top notch!
I bought a gently used car and needed it checked out. Mo assured me what good shape it was in, but found a couple of minor problems and prompted me to get back to the dealership for repair. Thanks so much for the reassurance.
Outstanding - honest, fair and highly capable. Recommend highly.
Easy to get an appointment, pleasant congenial staff, work done timely, no surprise charges. Owner on hand. Just an honest, friendly auto repair shop.
Took my 2007 Toyota Corolla in for service on 10/25/24. As always, received excellent and timely service and work done and was provided thorough analysis with important findings - been taking my Toyota Corollas to satellite motors since 1986- pleasant and friendly and professional staff has always been my experience
Excellent work. Longstanding business with many loyal clients. Trust Moe to keep my Toyota in top working order for years to come.
I have been taking my cars to Satellite Motors for many years and couldn't be more satisfied. Recently we were getting ready to go on a cross-country trip when a warning message came on in the car. Satellite Motors saw me immediately and had the problem fixed in an hour or two and we were on our way. Thank you to the whole crew!

I have used Satellite for years because they always do a good job.
I keep my cars for many years and Satellite helps me do that with their service and letting me know what's next in my maintenance and repair needs.
Honest. Thorough. Gives us confidence. Fair pricing.

I was like what and how? anyway I took it to FireStone with $100 complete inspection, they came up with $2700 round about. I was happy but then I was like let me see around in SilverSpring downtown close to my house, Satellite Motors came up with high ratings, I read the review and thought of giving them a shot. This was in early 2020. After speaking to Mo, you can tell this dude cares for your Car and want to be in best mechanical shape it can be. He sends me videos and photos of what needs immediate repair. I went ahead with recommended as I don't want to over spend a lot with New mechanic at this point and wanted to see and feel the difference. Well Mo team pass my test and plan to stick with them for other services. For quite some time I experienced gap of power from truck at complete stop to gasup. Mo recommended meBG109 service and I could see immediate chance in pickup, I was impressed. With complete inspection in 2020 Mo team recommended me replace fronts struts as they were leaking, I didn't get them done and continued to drive around cross country hauling my trailer around. I could feel every bump on the road. Finally got them changes and I must say my truck now feels like new. It handles way way better. They recommended new service for rear-axle leak, again send me pics and videos and I went ahead and got that done as well. I did check personally for the leak getting under the truck lol. Yep my trust is hard to get. For me or anyone what matters the most is Transparency, trust and love for their work, these guys certainly deliver that. Mo is lucky to have such professional mechanics, and without good manager good mechanics don't exist. Thank you so much, looking forward to do business again! Highly recommended Less
We have been taking our cars, and our kids' cars to Satellite Motors for over 20 years. We have always been impressed by their honesty, helpfulness, courtesy, knowledge and skill. We wouldn't go anywhere else. No complaints ever.
Satellite Motors is a hidden gem--the epitome of honest, competent, prompt, friendly service. Every time in the over 20 years that I have brought my Toyotas there for service I have been grateful that a friend recommended them.
I have been taking my 09 Prius to Satellite Motors for 8 years or so and couldn't be happier. The attributes I look for in a shop are competence, trust and commitment to service. Satellite has all three in spades. I never worry that they are trying to get me to do anything not necessary. They are pro-active without being pushy. Highly recommend them!
Our initial visit went very well. Satellite Motors was thorough with their recommended work list and communicated timely throughout the day while my vehicle was serviced. I appreciated their patience while I asked my "newbie" questions regarding the work being done as this was my first visit with them. Thanks for the peace of mind! :)
I've been using Satellite Motors for years. The service is always done as and when expected. Easy drop off and pick up in downtown Silver Spring. Highly recommend.
These folks always do a great job servicing our cars (Prius and former Toyotas). They also communicate with the car owner very well before, during, and after service. Highly recommend them!
Always satisfied with visits
I've gone to Satellite Motors for many years and to say I have been pleased is an understatement. I have a 2008 Camry. They are trustworthy, dependable and will always explain repairs to me. Costs are fair and certainly less than a dealership. It's close to Metro so it's easy to get to. I highly recommend Satellite.
I've been going to Satellite Motors since 1992, I only by Toyota/Lexus because that was at one time all they worked on, the service there is stellar! I will never go anywhere else.

Satellite Motors has kept our 20+ year-old Toyota road worthy for the past decade. They are Toyota certified mechanics and use a punch list system to track required service for your vehicle. Conveniently located in downtown Silver Spring too.

They keep my old car running! Even though my Camry is 18 years old, they stay on top of needed repairs. I appreciate getting a priority list for recommended future work.
Always a good experience with Satellite. Good people concerned about the health of my car. Knowledgeable. Precise. Clean. Personable.
I have been going to Satellite for years. They have always provided excellent service, at a reasonable cost, and they have given me good advice over the years---including advising me that there was nothing wrong when I thought there might be. I will continue to be a loyal customer.

I have been a client of Satellite for more than twenty years and trust this firm absolutely. It is my car godfather! Service, honesty, and reliability are the hallmarks here.
I have been using Satellite Motors for my succession of Toyotas for quite a few years. I stay with them because I have gained confidence in their service. They have always given me high quality repairs, on time. I highly recommend them for servicing most makes of Japanese cars.

Also, it’s a short walk from the Silver Sprint metro so it’s not inconvenient even though I now live across town. Less
Excellent service, good prices. They fix my cars for more than 12 years.
Satellite motors came highly recommended by a long time customer. I was tired of being taken advantage of by the dealer and needed a second opinion. So glad I did! I've only been twice, but will not get my Toyota Rav4 repaired anywhere else now. They were knowledgeable, honest and reasonably priced. Moe took a lot of time explaining everything to me. Very very happy with the service!
Good and honest service. Friendly, too.
Incredibly great service, hard to find honest and knowledgable mechanics and this place has both. Taken all my cars to Satellite Motors and will take any future cars!
All my cars go . Very good mechanic
Nobody rocks the Toyota world like owner Bob DeKnight
My family has been using Satellite Motors for over 25 years. The mechanics are top notch, the pricing is fair, and the customer service is truly magnificent. Moe, the owner, is the most honest businessman I have ever known.

Great place. Highest recommendation!
They're friendly it's really good place
I've been a customer of Satellite Motors for three years. They keep detailed notes on my Mazda3 and remind me of my last service and what we discussed having done in the future. They explain everything to me and do great work at a reasonable price. I would not go anywhere else.
More than 20 years and 6 Toyotas and I keep coming back to Satellite to take care of our cars. Service has always been outstanding and they have been very accommodating to my changing schedule, usually able to fit me in sooner rather than later.

If you have a Toyota, this is where you should be going. After a year or two of unpleasant experiences at the dealer, I was so happy to find Satellite Motors. They do great work, are reasonable, and they know all their customers by name. Plus, they are next to an awesome coffee shop -- Kaldi's.
If there was a way to give them 10 stars instead of 5, i would. Thats how great they are. Everything from checking in my car, to final pick up, is always a smooth process. Their honesty and fairness in pricing compared to other shops I used to go to is enough to keep me coming back. Try them and you will not be disappointed
If you're like me, when you move, you don't really feel settled in until you find a good doctor, dentist and car mechanic. If you have a Japanese car, especially in the Toyota family, put your mind at ease, Satellite Motors is the place where you can trust your car.

If you're like me, when you move, you don't really feel settled in until you find a good doctor, dentist and car mechanic.

I've been a customer for close to ten years and have never been anything less than pleased with their professionalism and the quality of their work. To give you an idea of how much I trust SM, when my wife and I were looking for a used car, when we learned that the 2002 Toyota Corolla we were considering, was serviced, exclusively, at Satellite, we knew the car had been meticulously maintained. Many, many thousands of miles later, we still have the reliable gem, and it's still serviced, exclusively, at Satellite Motors. Less
I have received excellent services and great value from Satellite Motors over the decades. I would highly recommend them without hesitation because they listen to their customers and do quality work that I trust. Gail
Seriously! These guys (and lady) know what they are doing when it comes to Toyotas. If you want your car to last 200,000 or 300,000 or even 400,000 miles, then let the pros at Satellite take care of your Toyota. They are actually BETTER than the dealership mechanics!
I have had my Toyotas serviced by Satellite Motors for almost 20 years. These folks are terrific. They do just what you need, explain things clearly, and do a wonderful job. And they charge a very fair price (i.e., far less than the dealer). I have consistently had a great experience here. And they are very nice people, too. --D. Neal, Chevy Chase, MD
I have used this shop for over a decade on several Toyotas and a Nissan. They are very proficient and they deliver when promised. Add to that the shop is in walking distance to the Metro and they are friendly. I have never seen a car shop that has told me to save my money but this shop did when I thought my brake pads needed replacing. They checked them and said that the pads had over 5,000 m... More

We've been very pleased with the service on our two Toyotas over the past several years. The staff are friendly, easy to work with, responsive, and do great work on the vehicles.
The staff at Satellite go above and beyond to provide thorough and informative advice for maintaining our two vehicles. We have been going there for over ten years and have consistently received excellent mechanical and customer service!

Great service, I have been coming here for two years now and I don't regret it. I had a toyota and now I have a Mazda. Nahlin, Moe, and Moses know cars. They do great service on my car at a great rate compared to other shops. They are very friendly and go above and beyond.

They have a passion for toyotas and Lexus but they service most Japanese makes. Every time I'm waiting for my car being serviced, I hear other customers speaking very highly of them! Nahlin at the front desk is very pleasant and knowledgeable. It's reassuring that while I'm waiting for my car in their cozy/ small waiting room, I often hear a female in this industry describing symptoms and diagnosis of cars. Highly recommended!!!! Less
The best! I've been taking my car here for years. The service and one on one customer experience is always great!
They were a great help with our purchase of a used car this year.
The web does work. I found Satellite Motors while searching for an alternative to a Toyota dealership that I had been taking my car to as I felt I was being overcharged for repair work and not being properly informed by their techs on how best to care for my vehicle.

The web does work. I found Satellite Motors while searching for an alternative to a Toyota dealership that I had been taking my car to as I felt I was being overcharged for repair work and not being properly informed by their techs on how best to care for my vehicle. Satellite has a very helpful staff that does not give you the run around. Saved me more than $250 on shock/strut replacement that the Toyota dealership wanted to charge. Satellite's tech pointed out areas on my vehicle to watch that the dealership never recommended or was willing to share. I now bring my Lexus and Toyota there for all services and repairs. A good thing for me is that Satellite is very close to the Silver Spring Metro. Less

I've received over 7 years of excellent Lexus service/repair for my gs300. Routinely they have diagnosed and fixed issues that even the dealers couldn't. Satellites owner and mechanics are qualified, competent and fair. When I absolutely need the job done right I would not take my car anywhere else. Period.
