As the owner has responded to my initial review, I'll provide more details. The owner of…read moreWinegardner's Auto Repair had my car for 3 months and used it has his personnel vehicle for an unknown amount of time. I only know this because he left his garage door opener in my car when I picked it up the first time and he quickly removed it when I returned it for issues related to his work. He even admitted to driving it (thanks for using my fuel). Who does this? The issues involve him draining my power steering reservoir and not filling it back up (makes it difficult to steer and noisy) and not reconnecting the intercooler after he performed the timing belt job. When an intercooler is not reconnected, it makes a horrible hissing noise and large plumes of black smoke come out of your exhaust pipe. That means all sorts of road debris was sucked into sensitive sections of engine. I promptly returned to his shop to have it remedied. This was the first time I had to return my vehicle, which was 2 days after I had picked it up from the timing belt job. These are pretty large oversights and he drove my car this his residence with these issues unresolved. He said he never got up to freeway speeds to realize the intercooler was disconnected, but it still sucked up road debris while driving to his house. Not to mention the power steering pump being forced to function without any fluid in it. The second time my vehicle returned to his shop was when it died on the freeway from a dropped valve another 2 days for a total of 4 days after I picked it up from the shop, not 3 weeks as the shop owner claims. VW diesels don't have dropped valves when an engine is at 100K miles. VW diesels last 300k to 400k miles, so 100k miles is not much. As for my vegetable oil kit, it hadn't been used in over a year because I was deployed overseas. Also, such kits have an excellent track record. See my review of Grease Car. As for the shop owner submitting an insurance claim and having an independent company to perform an assessment only sounds good on paper. Insurance companies are in the business of not paying. The insurance company hired the the same independent appraiser they always use (they told me this), so how is that not a conflict of interest? The company in question prides itself on performing such services for insurance companies. Of course they will conclude that the shop owner wasn't at fault because the insurance company that hired them would have to pay up if they found otherwise. The timing was done wrong per 3 other VW diesel mechanics who have looked at my vehicle. The only reason this issue didn't go to court was because none of the mechanics wanted to be involved with a legal battle. As a result, I was left with no recourse against a large insurance company and their hired independent appraiser. A Yelp review is all I could do. Decide for yourself. Not only is this unfortunate, but it makes for an ugly situation and ruins good will. Penny wise and pound foolish is a bad policy.

Last August I came here to Thrifty Auto Repair with a Groupon and as I was driving away my car was…read moreshaking. After a few minutes I discovered when they rotated my tires they didn't tighten the screws. Everyone makes mistakes and the man behind the customer service desk was kind. Recently my engine light came on and I thought I would take it there again. After all the guy at the customer service desk was nice and they'd be super careful. A different man at the customer service desk was incredibly arrogant, rude, and condescending. He gave me a lecture on the dangers of driving with the engine light on and they would only charge me $98 to find out what was wrong. He stated in several different ways that I was making a big mistake and I should let them check my engine light. NOTE: You can go a couple blocks up the street Advanced Auto Parts and use their Diagnostic Code Reader for free. It is super easy, seriously if I can do it anyone can. I explained that I had just searched on the Internet and could go to Advanced Auto Parts and use their Diagnostic Code Reader for free. He laughed and said I wouldn't know what it meant, shaking his head. He's right and wrong, it's a code however, all I had to do was Google the code and read why my engine light was on. I read another Yelp and the woman wrote she felt they were not honest with women. The Yelps that are positive are all written by men. I gave them a second chance and it was not a positive experience.

We recently purchased a GLB 250 from Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis. They are an outstanding car dealer…read morewith great staff in an excellent location and I highly recommend you consider them for your next car purchase or lease. Julian Connor is a top notch salesman and spent the better part of his Tuesday understanding what we were looking for, letting my wife and I test drive the car, working out the particulars of trading in our existing GLK 350, and initiating paperwork and financing for the new car. He's very knowledgable - not only about the cars they sell but also about the entire process of buying one, which makes for a seamless experience. He's also a pleasure to talk to and seems to genuinely value his customer relationships. Once the sale was done, Julian stuck around to make sure we fully understood all of the car's features and were ready to hit the road. Larry Cash, Sr. was wonderful to work with on financing and patiently walked us through all the details with a great deal of clarity. Like Julian, he put us completely at ease through what would normally be a bit of a stressful experience. The dealer itself is one of the best located we've come across, very close to downtown Annapolis and the harbor and in a great neighborhood with several restaurants. The showroom has a positive vibe and is not overwhelmingly big like at many dealerships. Everyone seems happy to be there and they were all great to our 3 year old, who was in tow for the duration. We left Annapolis with what we felt was a good deal on a great car and did so without the normal car purchasing pain. Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis makes the case for getting your car through a dealer and we look forward to continuing to do business with them in the future. Thanks, Julian, Larry and team!

She even showed me all the features in the car and helped me set everything up before we left. Definitely couldn't have been more thankful for Mia's hospitality and as well as everyone else who helped assist us with the purchase. This is the best MB dealership we have been to in the DMV.
