I needed to replace the EPS steering damper on my 2013 Toyota Camry. After reviewing online…read morefeedback and calling several local shops for estimates, I ultimately selected Huntingtown Automotive. Prior to taking my car in, I researched the typical repair costs. The replacement damper itself is an inexpensive part (around $10), and a fair total repair cost at an independent shop typically ranges from $300 to $450 based on 2 to 3 hours of labor. Many Camry owners reported paying roughly $300 at independent shops familiar with this specific fix. When I called Huntingtown Automotive beforehand, they gave me an estimate of approximately $300. However, once the job was completed, I was billed $750 based on 6 hours of labor. Surprised by the unexpected cost, I discussed the invoice with the shop manager, Troy, who subsequently reduced the bill to $600. While I appreciated the discount, I still feel that $600 is significantly higher than what is fair and reasonable for this repair.

He also does vehicle inspections, including motorcycles.

This is not a fancy shop full of the latest and greatest equipment. However, he does have a bitchin Snap-On diagnostic computer for the later model cars. Mike is a local Southern Maryland country boy and his somewhat shy countryfied charm will be apparent the first time you meet him. You will never be pressured to have extra work done on your car. Mike does not work that way. if he sees something while he's fixing your immediate problem he will tell you, but won't tell you that you have to fix it now. I tell my friends that he's as honest as the day is long. When he gives you an explanation of the problem, it's simple, direct, and to the point. He never speaks down to you. I have sent several female friends to him through the years and every one has remained a regular customer. I also believe that Mike is one of the most reasonably priced shops in Calvert County.

Recently i was in a car accident and out of work so my dumbass tried to save a few bucks and took my car elsewhere. Long story short my truck sounded like shit. So I did the only thing I knew to do. I called Tony at Platinum. He looked into it and found out alot of things were done wrong. He took the tine to speak to me about options giving ne a max price which he did not go over. He spent several days wrapping our wires that were wired wrong re installing everything properly. Then gave me advice on how to build the perfect system. And steps to take to get it done. When I picked my truck up dat bitch slapped sounded incredibly clear and crisp through every speaker. It was so loud and clear I decided I wanted more bass to go with the vocals. So his recommendation was swapped out the amp i had for the jbl. So I came back a few days later and had that done night and day difference. I will be going back to get more done.
