    Gold level ceramic pro coating on Tesla Model S.  They also subcontracted another company to perform an xpel wrap on the front of the car.
    Jason L.

    Just got my Tesla back from this detailer. Dave was great. He was very professional. He has had great reviews here on Yelp. And you can see he has been very attentive to all the reviews including the bad ones where the shop might be able to do better. I had Dave do a gold level ceramic pro coatings which included fixing the paint from swirls, scratches, and minor paint chips. The ceramic coating is helpful in that it helps to repel water and dirt and is scratch resistant, I also wanted an xpel clear bra coating as the Ceramic pro does not protect against rock chips. He actually had another guy whom he contracts with perform the wrap. It looks good, but I kinda wish I found someone who cut the wraps themselves rather than using pre-cut wraps. That being said the car looks great. Dave explained how to care for the car if I were to clean it myself using both a two/three bucket method and even with a powerwasher. He also explained how the warranty for the different services worked, I definitely would recommend him if you want your car to look pristine.

    Blade nicks

    Don't come here for tint removal. I was given a $140 cost for a Tesla job that is now $490. My issue is with Atomic's poor communication, execution, and attention to detail... not the cost. Richard removed all the tint as requested, but left sheets of glue on the roof and rear because he ran out of time after only 1hr20mins. He called to inform me that he was late to a birthday party and insisted it was a terrible tint job. He also recommended that I call around or come back another day to pay additional $200 for him to finish the job he started. Next time call your customer before you're done so I can make a decision... and build in a scheduling buffer so your techs aren't sprinting out the door when things happen. Water stains, blade nicks, and dirty finger marks = a rush job or he just didn't know what he was doing. I'm not bringing my car back after second thought and will send the owner my repair bill for interior issues. Sorry.

    They made my clients car look brand new again. They got the smell of some food that spilled on the interior out and did an incredible job. Their receptionist is so kind and really funny. I enjoyed my entire experience here and they charge a fair price for a complete cleaning (rejuvenation package) of the interior of the car. They cleaned the mats, all the seats, and even the moon roof. It smells amazing! I'm really glad I brought her car here because it needed a lot of love. I can't wait to bring the my own car here. I attached some before and after photos so you can see the difference!

    I was looking for a local shop that was capable of tinting the front two windows of my vehicle and went with Atomic based off of their good reviews. I scheduled an appointment with them to have this done at 8am when they opened, but was asked to come in at a later time because their tint tech was backed up. Sort of confused at how he was backed up before opening, but sure, no problem, it happens. In regards to the tint job - it was done in a little over an hour and at first glance, it looked as though it was done phenomenally. As the tint cured and settled, it became apparent that the job seemed to have been done poorly and rushed. I have attached photos and you will find there are multiple bubbles due to contaminants, scratches in the film, and the entirety of the passenger side has a haze stuck between the film and the window that has not gone away for 2 weeks. I called about my complaints and was asked to bring the vehicle back. Scheduled an appointment for 3pm this time and was again asked to reschedule, but to come in earlier this time. I show up and the tint tech inspects my concerns and tells me he has never seen anything like it happened before (in regards to the hazing). As he "fixes" the bubbles, he asked me if I minded waiting another two weeks to see if the haze issue fixes itself and if not, he'll do redo the tints, but as I watched his lack of care or attempt to remediate the bubbles (they're still there by the way), I already decided I was going to go with another shop that is much more experienced and organized with scheduling. Would love to speak to a manager or owner and have this poor attempt of a tint job refunded.

    Headlights looking clear
    Courtney W.

    Dropped my car off here to get the headlights restored. My car is about 10 years old, and the headlights had developed a film that could not be removed by a DIY method. I called and they had an appointment on the same day--after an hour my car was finished and the headlights looked brand new.

    Website well formatted, user friendly with a lot of information. Anna the receptionist friendly, informative and helpful. I purchased the full detail for $230 (Honda CRV). There were several other places that offered the same services for much less but given the initial positives I figured it must be worth the price. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience. Upon the initial inspection by Darron, the detail tech, he said the vehicle was "pretty straight forward" as there were no stains or excessive dirt. After 2.5 hours, the vehicle was done. The outside looked great! The inside did not. The were many OBVIOUS areas the were not cleaned. I pointed several out to Darron and he did wipe them clean. Needless to say I was very disappointed. I did let Anna know i wasn't happy and of course she apologized. Attached are pictures of other areas...I gave up pointing out things that still needed cleaned.

I dealt with William the owner as soon as I walked through the door. He was as polite and professional as you can be. He never tried to upsell me. He explained all my options for Tinting and even gave my wife and I demonstration to show how the Xpel XR-Plus works and what sets it apart from the other Options. There is a true difference in the films being offered. Be mindful that you get what you pay for. I chose the Top Tier film for our car. I also chose to have them hand wash and wax the car. That was the best part. We thought we were doing a decent job keeping the paint looking good until we saw the final product. I am totally satisfied and impressed with their work. Look, if you think a business can tint your entire car for $250 don't go here. Go to Autozone, by the film and then drive to the ghetto to the Liquor store and ask the cashier which one of his "regulars" works on cars. If you want a qualified professional who has decades of experience and employees to help do it RIGHT then go here. The Tint has a Lifetime Warranty so you can buy with confidence. I hope this helps.

This mechanic shop is attached to the Stevens Forrest Exxon, located just off of Rt. 29 and Broken Land Parkway in Columbia MD (not far from my home). Due to their proximity to my house, I stopped in there to service my Ford Explorer about two years ago. They replaced the serpentine belt and damaged my vehicle by forcing too much refrigerant into the system. I discovered this once I took it to another shop, and they told me that whomever worked on my serpentine belt, damaged the system. With that bad experience behind me and needing a state inspection for a different vehicle, last week (03/16/26) I figured this would be a quick in and out process. They advised that it would take approximately two hours to complete and they would contact me. After four hours, I called them for an update. They advised that my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee had failed the state inspection because of its windshield tint and faulty rear windshield wiper. I was shocked at what they said was the cause of the failure, but I literally laughed out loud when they said that the repairs would cost over $600. I kept my composure as I advised them I was headed back to their mechanic shop to retrieve my vehicle. This experience cost me $150 Since this vehicle is a work vehicle, I took it directly to a Jeep Dealership in nearby Clarksburg MD for them to perform the state inspection. They did advise that the tint would need to come off due to state inspection regulations, but they advised that my rear windshield wiper was functioning just fine. Now I am not sure what occurred for the rear windshield wiper to "fail" at their location, but function perfectly fine and "pass" the next morning at dealership. Also, Auto Obsession lists tinting as one of their services, so I would believe they could have simply offered to take the tint off my two front windows. I am still clueless on the faulty rear windshield wipe scam they attempted to run on me. In conclusion, I have had two unpleasant experiences with this location, and I would not recommend anyone utilizing their mechanic shop services. I will share pictures of both state inspection receipts to show what Auto Obsession claimed was a failure vs what the Jeep dealership performed to pass the same state inspection.

I had a small budget for something temporary so I purchased a Pioneer unit on Amazon. Afterwards, I contacted Hot Tint in May 2022. They responded to me that day and told me to stop by the shop. I made an appointment for later that week. When I arrived, I asked them to install the unit and a backup camera. I can't recall how much time it took but it was done in a reasonable amount of time and I'm happy with their service. I called a few other shops around this time. A couple had other projects and couldn't get to me for a few months. A couple of others didn't want to touch the van because of its age, manufactured in 1989. Hot Tint was straight-forward. They said let them see what I have and they'll let me know if they could use what I had or needed something else. I appreciate that approach. I did have a couple of problems but they were responsive. While driving home, my radio rebooted twice. The cable came loose so they told me to return to the shop so that they could fix it. The second is my clock resets to 12:00 every time the vehicle is restarted. They told me to bring it by so that they can fix it but I haven't. I'm rarely on the screen to see the time and just had other priorities. I mention these items to show that they were responsive and willing to troubleshoot the problem. I rate them high also because there are many mechanics and technicians who can work on a classic vehicle but refuse to do so. There are a handful like Hot Tint that jumps right in and do the job. I'm finally ready to add an amp and subwoofer so I will be contacting them again soon.
