Car @ pick up after Mark's removed parts
Martina E.

BEWARE! Marks Auto Body claimed they're "Pro Consumer" but was anything but. Once they got my car, they treated me like dirt. I wish I'd never taken my vehicle to this place. On Friday, September 18, 2015, I dropped my BMW off at Mark's Body Shop for repair of two small almost unrecognizable dents. I'd given them the insurance company's estimate of about $1,483.95. On Tuesday, September 22, I received an estimate from Mark's for additional repairs of more than double the insurance company's estimate. Mark's has a bad reputation for overcharging; it added "final car wash" and "protection of undamaged vehicle parts", items other shops don't charge for. On Wednesday morning, I received a phone call from the insurance company that they were not paying the additional items and Mark's sent it a day late. I immediately called Mark's. I asked Tracy what my options were and why someone at Marks hadn't called to tell me this. She said to "file a complaint against the insurance company with the insurance administration or the Attorney General of Maryland." This could take months. When I told her another body shop accepted the insurance estimate "as is" without the added costs, she put me on hold and never came back. I called back and spoke with Mark, Jr. I asked why didn't he call the insurance company before the deadline and he said, "That's not our normal practice." It's basic common sense. I told him I didn't want him to do any repairs on my car and I was taking my car to another shop. He threatened that he'd email the name of his attorney, but never did. On Thursday morning, Mark, Jr. sent me an email stating that they were charging me $60 per day from the date I first brought my car in although they didn't have my car ready to be picked up. The contract I signed, which is FOUR PAGES long and small print, states I have 7 days after notification before I incur storage fees. I then sent Mark, Jr. SIX emails again requesting they NOT DO ANY WORK ON MY VEHICLE AND TO RESTORE IT TO THE EXACT CONDITION AS WHEN I BROUGHT IT WITH ITS ORIGINAL PARTS. I asked when I could pick up my car, but he never received a response. Late that evening, Mark Jr. sent an email with a final bill for $754.40 including $254.00 labor to "remove and re-install" (R&I) several parts, storage, an "administrative fee" and $500.00 "parts". His email said he'd need one hour advance notice before I picked up my car. They would not release my car until I paid. On Friday, September 25, at 1PM, I sent Mark an email informing him that I would be picking up my vehicle at 3PM. I arrived at 2:50PM. I went to hand Mark my credit card and he said, "This is a cash only transaction." I reminded him that the contract says "we accept all major credit cards" and he never told me I couldn't pay by credit card. He refused to discuss it and ran into his office. I left and returned at 4:30 PM with the cash. Mark said my car was still disassembled and not ready and he demanded I pay up front before getting it ready. He never told me this before. He would not allow me to see it. After I paid the $754.40 cash, Mark Jr. came out, walked up to me and for the first time told me, "You won't be able to drive it," and that I'd "need a tow." This was just before 5PM on a Friday! He then pulled my car out; it was unrecognizable and totally dismantled. The rear bumper, inside door panel, rear lights, rocker molding, trunk, door handle, and several other pieces were all removed. Mark and his guys put my car pieces all on the ground. They put the screws and other small parts in plastic baggies all over my trunk. When I asked for an itemized list of the "parts" he charged me $500.00 for, Mark said, "That's all we're giving you," and walked away. He closed and left me there without a tow, my parts all over the ground. I had to wait outside Mark's until the tow truck arrived. The new body shop let me leave my car throughout the weekend. On Monday, they did an inventory and discovered Mark's had not returned all of my parts and asked me to contact them. So, after all of the ill will, aggravation, frustration and nightmare with Mark's, I had to still deal with them for return of my parts worth $800.00. And Mark's never gave me an list of the parts I paid $500.00 for. I am entitled to a full refund of $754.40. Mark's charged me and I paid $254.00 labor to remove and re-install parts (R&I) but it refused to reinstall anything and spitefully returned my car in pieces. Marks did not keep me informed (it received a check from the insurance company for repairs, tried negotiating with the insurance adjuster behind my back to keep the business (and the check)) and had the nerve to charge me for storage. Mark's was rude, uncooperative, unethical, unprofessional and downright nasty (and has a reputation for suing insurance companies). I would never entrust my or anyone else's vehicle to Marks. I'll tell everyone do not use Marks Body Shop or recommend them EVER!

I spent $13,000 with this shop and my car was not repaired properly. I received extremely poor customer service on top of it. Mark my back seats look horrible. You all lied to me; it does not take five weeks to repair a car. Jason told me it took almost four weeks for my back window glass to come in, I called GM and the glass only takes two days to be delivered. It was never on back order neither was my leather for my back seats on back order. When a customer wants to speak to you after they left work concerning their car you should always be available. I had a very bad experience and spent a lot of money in the process. You all were so rude that you would not even go over the repairs.

There were all sorts of scams and unnecessary repairs including: 1. Leading Edge replaced the front brakes at 119k miles and then again at 130k miles. Brakes again after 11k!! Front brakes should last at least 40k miles, usually more like 60-70k. 2. Leading Edge replaced the lower control arms at 116k and again at 146k. Control arm bushings last at least 100k miles. If you need control arms again at 30k, either the parts were junk or the alignment wasn't done right. 3. Leading Edge charged labor to replace both the serpentine belt and the alternator. You have to remove the belt to remove the alternator, so an honest shop wouldn't charge for the belt when doing the alternator. To charge full price for both is outrageous. 4. Leading Edge charged $250 to replace the radiator and $174 to replace the radiator hoses. You have to remove the hoses to replace the radiator. Here again, it's a rip off to charge labor for both. 5. Leading Edge charged $475 labor (just labor!!) to install tires, clean the beads, and replace one TPMS. $60-120 is typical at most shops for all this work, especially if you are buying tires from them. $475 for tire installation is probably the most outrageous repair scam I've ever seen.

I ultimately gave this place two stars out of five, and I genuinely debated giving only one. The…read moreonly reason it isn't one star is because the staff are at least very friendly and welcoming. At first, I felt relieved to find a location close to where my elderly mother lives, and I hoped it might be a trustworthy option since other residents in her retirement community go there. I could immediately see why people feel comfortable: the friendliness is noticeable right away. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for me to start feeling uneasy... During routine visits for my mother's car, I noticed significant upselling and costs that seemed far higher than expected. For example, she paid around $120 for a cabin filter replacement that I later learned is often closer to $30 for her type of vehicle. That was the moment I realized I no longer felt comfortable trusting their recommendations, and I decided I would not bring her car back. I briefly considered giving them another chance with my own car, hoping the earlier experience had been a one-off. When I called about a simple headlight replacement (after already researching the exact part and repair) I was told they had to see the vehicle in person and was quoted an extremely wide range of $80 to nearly $500. I chose to go elsewhere and had the same repair completed for $40. I also found the volume of follow-up emails and maintenance reminders excessive and pressure-filled rather than helpful. Trust matters when it comes to car care--especially for older customers. Based on my experiences, I do not recommend this location and would encourage others to proceed with caution.

Jeff is…read morehands down the best mechanic I've ever been to, and it's not even close (other mechanics I've been to haven't even been bad, Jeff is just THAT good). The quality of his work is fantastic and his pricing is very fair. He goes out of his way to work within your budget, letting you know what work is critical (if any) and should be addressed asap vs. what he's noticed could use fixing at some point in the future. But what really sets Jeff apart is his dedication to helping his customers. You can't put a price on the peace of mind I get after I take my 16 year old car to Jeff. Not only am I confident that I'm getting a good price; I also know that my car won't then break down immediately afterwards due to shoddy work or from some other issue that I didn't think to ask about (if I asked Jeff to get my car roadtrip ready, it will BE roadtrip ready). And I know I never have to be worried about being judged for asking questions or for the state of my car (yes, there's gorilla tape on parts of my car and no, Jeff has never mentioned it -- in fact, he always talks about how great my car is and how much he enjoys working on it). As a woman with super limited car knowledge who's always a little worried that I'm getting fleeced at auto shops, the trust I have in Jeff is priceless. I also know that Jeff will let me know when it's time to think about retiring my car. Every few years, I'll check in to see if he thinks it's worth me continuing to fix my car up or if I should start thinking about getting a new one. I probably would have thrown in the towel years ago and just gotten a replacement car (even though I love my current one). But thanks to Jeff, my first and only car is still trucking! But Jeff doesn't only make sure he's giving YOU the best possible value; he's also more than happy to help you ensure you're getting the best possible value from other mechanics. He's had to refer me to some other shops for work he couldn't do (or that would be much more expensive for me to have him do vs. other shops -- again, what integrity) in the past. And whenever I expressed any nervousness about them trying to upsell me, he's always told me to just give him a call if anything sounds off, and he'll advise me on what to do. Recently, I even had a situation where I texted Jeff about a light coming on in my car during a roadtrip. I wasn't sure if it was safe to keep going (the manual was extremely unhelpful, saying both that it could be a situation where I needed to stop and take my car in immediately or to just have it looked at sometime soon), so I texted Jeff a photo and asked what he thought. Jeff got back to me right away, and -- with the caveat that he couldn't be certain what was going on, since he wasn't there looking at my car -- he gave me information that made me confident that I could safely keep driving (spoiler: he was right). He then looked at my car the following morning and got the issue fixed (the problem had been a loose gas cap, as he suspected, and the system just needed to be reset for the alert light to turn off) in under 5 minutes, free of charge. And he even told me he was so glad I felt comfortable texting him about this! I've been taking my car to Jeff for over 8 years, and I can't recommend him highly enough. If you're looking for an auto shop, congrats! You've found the best one out there. At Sisson Street Automotive, you'll get great prices, exceptional work, and outstanding customer service. And you'll even get a thank you postcard with a drawing of Winnie, the world's best shop dog, for your trouble. 11/10, would recommend!

Jeff is hands down the best mechanic I've ever had the pleasure to work with. He's honest,…read morepunctual, friendly, and gives great advice. If there's something you don't need, he'll let you know, and if there's something you do need, he'll let you know how far down the road you can go before taking any action on it, so you can get the most value out of what you already have. I'd give him 6 stars if I could!
