I am new to the Baltimore area and was informed about this mechanic by a friend of a friend
Wow so much to say about ADI
I'll start by saying the address states it's on North Ave and the building is there but the entrance is on some cappy side street filled with people just hanging around (Scary)
Secondly I speak to the owner PAT who I am sure was born with a different name but nevertheless I tell him about my minor car problem. I am an engineer so I use my trouble shooting skills and narrowed it down to it being a simple fan that cools the radiator being inoperable.

I figured I would save us both some time so i informe "Pat" about my findings and say before doing any work please give me an estimate. 5 hours pass and I call the shop 4102762253. Pat informs me that they are still trying to see what's wrong with it. I am thinking WTF? It took me all of 10 min to check the power source and deem the fan to be the problem.
I get a call back an hour later ( now 6 hours since I dropped the car off) and he says "your fan is not working and if you want it fixed today it will coast you $564. Keep in mind I priced the part at $134 at A1 auto online (free Shipping) I also checked several YouTube videos online as to how to fix it and it's a 45 min job TOPS. Don't get me wrong I don't mind paying a little extra because I know it's a business they are running but DAMN don't try and rip me off and waist my time.
So I refuse him doing the work and he says "it's $140 for the diagnostic. Oh the one I told you about when I arrived that took you 5 hours to do and took me all of 10 min??? F-You
I am sure it was the easiest $140 he ever made
I ended up doing the work myself and it ended up taking me 30 min.
Avoid these dude like Ebola, Zeka and any other deadly disease you can think of
