I tell them Monday I will be coming to get it and take it elsewhere for a inspection. 2/6/22 7:30pm get a call the mechanic was in coming out of THE SUPER 8 MOTEL IN WALDORF PULLED OUT IN FRONT A TRACTOR TRAILOR!! The partner of the owner goes by P.J was on site asked if we had full coverage and stated the mechanic is a independent contractor who was driving my car after hours so they are not liable. This for I received my insurance deductible of 500 dollars. The owner Keon Wilson says he will reimburse me my 4,767.88 for my engine however I have not received it or any information on when or how I will be reimbursed. Just excuses! I asked why the business insurance is not paying for it? He said "because the vehicle was not in the shop at the time of the incident, the mechanic a independent contractor who was driving the vehicle after hours that's where the problem comes up". So now I'm out of a vehicle , 4760 for the engine not to mention the 1,000 I spent on tires new tires. The mechanic/driver provided our insurance to the state trooper (this is now a at fault accident on my insurance). I am mad as hell!! This is going to be a long drawn out process in court now. Please beware and stay away from Key mechanics in Waldorf md!!

They are well below the "book price" on the final price. I come from a family of mechanics and service writers. I go here because they have the specialty equipment needed to service Mercedes. The only thing i would recommend is that you check the hours they are open.

Buyers Beware !!!!!!!…read more My family has been bringing our Mercedes vehicles to this shop for many years. Under the previous owner, we always received honest service, fair pricing, and professionalism. Sadly, since the original owner no longer runs the business and the business came under new management, our experience has been completely different. We recently brought in our 2009 Mercedes S-Class for what should have been a straightforward battery replacement. We were charged $392 for the main battery, $255 for the auxiliary battery, $127 for installation, and an additional $150 storage fee, bringing the total bill to $924. Here's where things became unacceptable. The shop contacted us on Friday for additional information about the vehicle, and we immediately authorized the repair. However, because they are no longer open on Saturdays and did not have the battery in stock, they had to order it. Instead of accepting responsibility for their scheduling and parts availability, they charged us $150 in storage fees because the vehicle remained on their lot over the weekend before the repair was even completed. The car wasn't sitting there because we delayed picking it up. It was sitting there because they hadn't completed the repair. We explained that we should not be responsible for storage charges on a vehicle that was still waiting on parts and had not yet been repaired. They refused to remove the charge. It didn't stop there. Once the repair was finally completed, they called us at 4:00 p.m. to let us know the car was ready. The shop closes at 5:00 p.m., so we immediately told them we were on our way. That's when we were informed that the "final pickup time" was actually 4:00 p.m. They then said that if we could make it before they closed at 5:00 p.m., we "should be okay." That made absolutely no sense. If the final pickup time is 4:00 p.m., why wait until 4:00 p.m. to notify your customer that the vehicle is ready? You have no idea whether your customer is at work, across town, or otherwise unavailable. After already charging us $150 in storage fees for a vehicle that hadn't even been repaired, it certainly felt like we were being set up to incur another storage charge simply because they waited until the last hour of business to call. As longtime customers, this experience was incredibly disappointing. We trusted this shop for years because of the integrity and customer service under the previous owner. Unfortunately, that level of service appears to be gone. Charging customers storage fees because your business is closed on Saturdays, billing them for storing a vehicle while waiting on parts, and then notifying them at the exact moment your stated pickup deadline begins is, in my opinion, an unfair business practice and a terrible way to treat loyal customers. This shop has lost our business permanently. I would strongly encourage anyone considering bringing their Mercedes .... DON'T. There are too many reputable independent Mercedes repair shops to accept treatment like this. Zero stars if I could give them that.

Picked it up at the end of the day and gas was almost empty in a surprise to me - I didn't write down mileage when I took it in but by all indications they'd put 90ish miles on it. Called to express alarm; someone said they'd look into it and get back to us but naturally never did. Wasn't worth fighting about but this place is proven untrustworthy and I hope others can avoid getting taken advantage of like I was. Can't I give them 0 stars? This is the worst a business can be - stealing from and lying to customers

While scheduling a Maryland state inspection for a vehicle is easy to accomplish with Ft Washington…read moreAuto & Tire, it is evident that the main reason they "serve" as a Maryland State Inspection Station is for the added benefit of their crew obtaining the work required to pass the inspection rather than focus on what the customer needs in accordance with the Maryland state guidelines. ....talk about poor customer service!!! We took a vehicle for Maryland State inspection. They documented 3 "Declined Jobs" 1.stabilizer link right front has play 2.stabilizer link left front///suggested 3. battery hold down. (and a) note: "passenger door does not open properly" We took it to our mechanic who repaired the "Declined Jobs" AS REQUIRED. When we took it back to Ft Washington for reinspection, we were told it failed because the door had not been repaired. HAD FORT WASHINGTON AUTO & TIRE LISTED THE DOOR AS ONE OF THE "DECLINED JOBS" AS THEY SHOULD HAVE, our mechanic would have repaired the door also. When asked WHY they failed to list it as a "Declined Job" the response was "...because we don't repair the door so we couldn't give you an estimate". Again, since they could not benefit from the repair, they caused us GREAT inconvenience! Thus, we strongly recommend you take your vehicle to a Maryland Inspection Station which inspects your vehicle and DOCUMENTS THE INSPECTION RESULTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH MARYLAND STATE GUIDELINES. Fort Washington Auto and Tire certainly failed to do that.

Per the advice of my mother, who was a previous customer, I stopped in for a pre-trip inspection…read morebefore a very lengthy road trip. I was the first to arrive (before the shop opened), as I wanted to be in and out as quickly as possible. The young lady at the front desk assisted me and informed me that the service required full payment upfront. Now, for many businesses, this would be a red flag. But given the nature of this particular establishment, along with its solid reputation, I was completely OK with this. You've heard of "dine and dash," involving people who eat and skip out on their bill, so I'm sure that this business didn't want to deal with people who "drive and dash." Anyway.... The mechanic started working on my vehicle immediately and was extremely thorough. Shortly thereafter, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Mr. John, when he entered the sitting area/lobby. I asked if he was the owner because he just had that commanding presence that most owners possess & I wanted to speak with him directly. I informed Mr. John about why I came to his shop and truly appreciated the time and care he put into servicing my vehicle to ensure that it was safe. He told me that he could tell I took care of it, and that for its age, it was in great shape. Mr. John even went the extra mile (see what I did there, haha) and showed me some things that were worn and would eventually need repair. This was great info, not only so I know what to expect for a future visit to my local auto repair shop but also because I decided to have some of the work performed that same day. I felt it was wise to get it out of the way and not have to worry about anything breaking while on the road. Mr. John even told me to call once I arrived at my destination, which further proved that he genuinely cares about his customers and takes great pride in his work. I called the following week and let the young lady at the service desk know that my trip was smooth!
