About the shop
Two bays in 1999, six today. Same corner, same owner, and most of the same customers.
Vik’s shop
Vik Mehra worked at a dealership for eleven years before he opened Brookland Auto Service on Brookland Park Boulevard. He wanted a shop where the person who fixes your car can also explain it to you.
He still runs the front desk most mornings. Every estimate goes past him before it reaches you.

The technicians
ASE certification means a written exam for each area and two years of work on top. It runs out after five years, so they retake it.

Nate Halloran
ASE-certified Master Technician with the advanced engine performance cert. Electrical faults and warning lights.
Sami Kaya
ASE-certified in brakes, suspension and steering, and heating and A/C. Twenty years in the trade.
Kyle Brandt
ASE-certified in maintenance and light repair. Oil changes, tires and most of our inspections.
How we work
A few rules that haven’t changed since the first day.
- We fix what’s broken. Upkeep that can wait goes on the estimate as “can wait”.
- Technicians are paid by the hour, not by the job, so no one gains from selling you more.
- You can have your old parts back, every time.
- We follow your maker’s service schedule and keep the records, so your factory warranty stays valid.
- Used oil, coolant and batteries go to a licensed recycler.
From our customers
Another shop wanted to replace the catalytic converter. Nate found a cracked vacuum hose and charged me for diagnosis and a $14 part.
Marisol R. The estimate came by text with photos of my worn pads. I approved it at my desk and picked the car up at four.
Derek W. Vik has looked after three of our cars. When the old minivan wasn’t worth fixing anymore, he told us so.
Joyce A. They found the leak with dye instead of just topping it up. Cold air all summer, and the bill matched the estimate to the cent.
