    Happy New Year!

    Every neighborhood needs an Action Al's... I'm lucky I'm a 5-minute drive from their service. I love the family atmosphere! Today I needed the smallest of services: my hubcap came off and 2 lug nuts were missing. For safety reasons I wanted those lug nuts replaced. $10 later I had my new lug nuts and 2 FREE wall calendars!

    Tire tech scratched my rim badly he was Not careful. Service inside was good felt welcomed.

    Right before making our way back to NYC, we saw one of my brand new tires had a bump on the side wall. We called Action Al since I researched they sold the manufacturer of my tires. We got on the phone with Dave. They didn't have the specific brand of tire I needed (since I was still within warranty) but he was super helpful in next steps and referred us to someone else. After an hour of calling other shops in search for the brand of tire I needed, we realized we were out of luck. We decided to call back Dave at Action Al to just get the tire replaced, and Dave was so accommodating. He also gave us a great price for everything. While we waited, we were able to have some great conversations with Dave. The place is filled with history. We were in and out within 20 minutes - which was perfect considering the 4 hour ride back home. This is such a great place. They really take care of you. We are so fortunate to have found Action Al's tire shop.

    Three years ago was my first time at Action Al's with my old car! That car had 14" tires! This time, I was back with my newer car with 17" tires! My uncle who helped me order the tires from Action Al's was with me this time! My tires were ordered weeks before and came in earlier in the week! We went in on a Saturday morning, they open at 8am! We got there about 10 minutes before 8, but they were open and took my car in! I was out of there before 8:30am! I cannot say how much I appreciate this family owned business! They are friendly and provide excellent service! I even received a recommendation for someone who does front end alignments! My car does not need it now, but I have a card for later! I will continue to come here for my tire needs! Love Action Al's!

    Always here and accommodating customers.  10 years over 5 cars only use them. .

At first I…read morewas able to put air in the tire and it would last for around 3-4 days but now it was only good for hours before my tire would go flat. To make matters worse all four of these tires are basically new and less than 30 days old! Anyway, this whole thing was driving me nuts, so I started shopping around for a place. I remembered this local place that allowed you to drive up for on-the-spot repair and they work on your tire(s) while you wait in your car, so I decided to give them a try and I'm really glad I did. When I arrived there were a couple of cars ahead of me, which wasn't a big deal since this place is similar to a drive-thru you allowing you to conveniently wait your turn in your car. They work pretty quickly here and before I knew it I'm pulling forward to get my tire looked at. The mechanic was friendly, respectful, and took the time to listen to what was going on with my tire. He quickly got the tire off, diagnosed the problem, and explained what needed to be done in plain language. The problem was with the valve stem, which had a leak. The mechanic got right to work making the repair and explaining to me what he was doing. The work was done efficiently and correctly, and he made sure everything was explained to my satisfaction. There was no pressure, no upselling, and no runaround; just honest work and solid service. Oh, and the cost of this repair was less than 25 bucks! I couldn't believe I received this much service and such great work at this price point. What makes this place stand out to me is the customer service from all of the staff, but in particular the mechanics themselves that are actually working on your car. Usually, the people working on your car are hidden in a garage somewhere while you wait in a waiting room, so you never actually meet the mechanic working on your car. At Mac's you are up close and personal to the mechanic. That's a huge plus in my book. You can tell this is a local business that actually cares about its reputation and all of the customers coming there. It's the kind of shop where they remember you, talk to you with respect, and make sure you leave satisfied. If you're tired of chain shops and want to support a local business that does quality work and treats customers right, this is the place to go. They earned my trust, and I'll definitely be back for future tire and service needs. Highly recommended!

Great value, with tires plugged in 15 minutes or so (once your vehicle is "up") for under $30. Keep up the great work!

    First of all, let me just ask: Why is it so difficult to find a good mechanic?…read more I've been to Auto Tech before and loved their personalized service, but since then I've moved to Baltimore. I tried another mechanic for my Honda Civic, but it just wasn't the service I wanted or expected. So, fast forward to an issue with my window. Long story short, I had it replaced by a certain well-known company, and three months later it wouldn't roll all the way up. They came back out to honor the lifetime warranty only to tell me it was the regulator. IMO they/he was responsible for breaking the regulator, as there was no problem with the window until it was replaced. There was definitely a nexus. But I digress. Instead of having to search for another mechanic in Baltimore, I just returned to what I already knew was good--Auto Tech. Todd and family are very personable and make you feel like you're at home. They're not trying to cheat you out of your hard-earned money by making up things that need to be repaired. If there's an issue, they'll lay out your options and let you choose which route you'd like to take. Again, I'm in Baltimore. But that's not a problem, as their waiting area is superb. You'll find the Wi-Fi code right there where you can see it. At one point Todd came out and said I could change the channel if I wanted to. They've got a nice coffee machine, snacks, and leather chairs that are as comfortable as the ones I have at home. My AC was also running warm so they checked that and topped it off. I also had them check my brakes. And they quickly repaired my window. The price was very reasonable. So, I'll just have to keep coming back to Bowie to have my Honda Civic serviced. No problem.

I initially called to confirm the tire size on my truck, which I originally purchased from this location about two years ago, as I was considering getting replacement tires from the Chevy dealership on highway 210 in Maryland. However, after speaking with Dwayne and receiving a quote for the same tires I previously purchased, my plans changed immediately. Dwayne was patient, attentive, and genuinely committed to helping me. He took the time to research the information I needed, called me back promptly, and kept me informed throughout the process. That level of communication and professionalism speaks volumes about his customer service skills. Even with the location's busy schedule, he never appeared irritated or rushed, even when I had to call him back multiple times. When I arrived, I did not have a long wait because the tires had already been ordered earlier that morning. Dwayne continued to keep me updated and assured me that my truck would be taken care of with great attention and care. This is the type of customer service--and fair pricing--that creates loyal, repeat customers. Because of the excellent experience I had today, I will continue to return to this location for future tire needs and any work on my truck. Thank you so much, Dwayne. Your professionalism is truly appreciated.

As I was checking out, I mentioned that this visit felt completely different from previous experiences. The store manager, Jessica Paredes (though at the time I didn't know she was the manager), asked what I meant. I explained that the older woman who usually works the front has always been mean, dismissive, and honestly difficult to deal with. I arrived today expecting the same attitude. But today was a GOOD day--no attitude, no nasty looks, no negative energy. I was relieved and truly happy, especially for a Friday. Jessica apologized for my past experiences and shared that she was the new manager. I immediately told her I would definitely be returning as a customer. Honestly, the only reason I gave the location another chance was because I didn't feel like driving farther--but I'm glad I did. Dwayne, who assisted me first, was also extremely helpful and kept me updated on the status of my vehicle. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Mr. Clarence, the mechanic--he is absolutely awesome and highly professional. His expertise and thoroughness gave me confidence that my vehicle was in great hands. From a customer's perspective, the front desk is the first point of contact, and the person in that role should understand just how important customer service truly is. Customers should always feel welcomed, valued, and comfortable--especially when spending their hard-earned money. I want to thank Goodyear for making a management change that clearly prioritizes customer service and respects the customer experience. Leadership matters, and Ms. Jessica Paredes is proof that great leadership sets the tone. The improvement in morale, professionalism, and overall experience is a direct reflection of her presence. Excellent job to Ms. Paredes--leadership starts at the top, and it shows in how her staff engages with customers. I appreciate the positive changes and will absolutely return

Cons They had my car for 24 hours and i had to call them to ask for updates. They gave me 8k estimate for a full scope of work that was needed. I declined all but what my car got towed for and 3 new tires. That total cost was $1500 When my car was ready they called me 15 mins before closing so i could not get my car until the following day. Would not have been an issue but they parked my car on the street where it received a ticket. When i mentioned the ticket they collected it and said they were going to pay it. A month goes by and the ticket has not been paid and it doubled. I didn't follow back up before the month went by because my dad passed 10 days later so it was not on my mind. When i called the shop to explain about the ticket they said they don't usually pay this kind of parking ticket. Lol after it doubled they conveniently do not pay this type.

    Great, kind, quick service with a dangerous and crucial mistake…read more I'll break this review into two parts. The first part will be about my experience getting serviced by Clarendon Tire, and the second part will be about what resulted. Service experience itself was great. I had noticed a slow leak in my top left tire this past week. At first, I thought it could wait for my regular mechanic to see, but I decided to get it checked ASAP at Clarendon Tire. If it was a nail, maybe it could be patched. I called ahead of time in the morning, and the woman on the phone let me know to bring it by that day before 4, or else maybe it would be too busy. Sure enough, I show up at 3:45, it's getting busy, but they make an effort to take my car in immediately. The mechanic gets to work checking the tire, and the woman behind the desk lets me know a patch fix takes about 40 min and $60, reasonable to me. I go to the bathroom, and by the time I'm out, they flag me down and show me my wheel--no nail, but in fact a small crack near the edge on the inside of the wheel. I really appreciate that they worked so quickly and saved me from preemptively buying a new tire for a non-tire problem. They gave me good suggestions for nearby places that could fix the wheel if I didn't want to replace, and they didn't charge me for their service. I gave the mechanic a $40 tip for his quick and helpful work, and he offered to fill my tire air up before getting going. Overall, very positive experience, and I would have happily returned any time I had tire trouble. 5 star visit, so why the 2 stars overall? Didn't drive for a couple days after, but before I left for work, I went to check my tire pressure to see how much I should fill up to for the day. My tire pressure was more than 60psi. The tire mechanic filled my front left tire up to more than 60psi. Most consumer vehicle tires are rated for around 30psi. My tire pressure meter only goes up to 60, but it stayed at 60 for a while when I was letting air out of the tire. This is insanely high, and dangerous to drive on--my friends exclaimed they're surprised my tire didn't pop on my way home. I would hope that tire mechanics would know the right psi range to fill up a front tire. Instead, I think he filled it up as high as possible or kind of without looking, and it could have caused a really dangerous accident, and cost me a lot of money. The psi is clearly marked in the driver-side door, and I'll need for this place to read that number before filling up tires. Until then, I will not be taking my car here again out of precaution.
