In 2022, I drove through one of Baltimore's massive potholes & the loud screeching I heard next was…read moremy car's exhaust train dragging across the pavement. My mechanic in Catonsville said Marvin's was the one place in the Baltimore metro area he trusted to fix & replace only the parts that actually needed it, as the issue was some sections of the exhaust train & the metal parts clamping it to the car had rusted enough for the whole exhaust train to break free when I hit the pothole [my car's so old, its stereo is an AM/FM radio + cassette tape & CD player which was a "deluxe" upgrade back when someone bought it new from their local dealership]. I trusted my mechanic, so I drove from Catonsville to Brooklyn Park & showed up as a walk-in at Marvin's. It was first come, first served & they had a vehicle in each bay plus 1-2 others who'd checked in ahead of me. I sat & read a book I was in the middle of, & before I knew it, one of the guys told me I could pay & be on my way. I asked how much I owed, then had to ask him to repeat it because I was sure I'd missed part of the number he'd said, because my total couldn't possibly be a number with so few digits. Turns out I'd heard it right the first time. That was 4 years ago. I still drive the same car & haven't had any issues with the exhaust system since (still passes its MVA smog checks). If you've got a muffler or any exhaust train issue, this is the place to at least get an estimate, whether you live in the City or in whichever Maryland county & driving to Brooklyn Park is quicker than driving to DC or PA. Marvin's is honest, has experienced mechanics, and no one there tried to sell me anything - they just put my car in a bay, lifted it up, looked at it from below & told me they could fix it. Which took less time & MUCH less money than I'd expected.

Great service. I've been dealing with Marvin's muffler for over 20 years, never a disappointment,…read morenever, ever!

When I asked if someone could take a look at my truck, I was told, "No, I'm not going to lay on wet pavement." I understood that the ground was wet, but the way it was said came across as rude and dismissive. When I politely asked him to repeat the estimate, he responded, "I just told you an around-about estimate," in a condescending tone. I explained that I was simply trying to do business and didn't appreciate the way I was being spoken to. His response was to tell me that I could leave. I left feeling disrespected and unwelcome. I can't say why I was treated that way, but the interaction left me questioning whether bias may have played a role. Regardless of the reason, no customer should be treated with that level of disrespect. I took my business elsewhere and would not recommend this shop based on my experience.

After asking around my uncle recommended this shop to me for any repairs I may need. Out of all my years of getting service to my vehicles Milford has been the absolute best BY FAR. Gavin, Brad, and Brooklyn have taken amazing care of not only my repairs but me as well. They have gone above and beyond helping me numerous times and always made me feel welcome and comfortable. The 5 stars you see listed here are not only completely accurate but well deserved.

He was saying they are very busy and I saw zero motivation by him. Within 2 hours he called me saying I need $800 repair for brake leak, my caliper, brake hose and parking brake motor needs replacing. My pregnant wife went to pick up our car and Rafael started harassing her for $60 diagnostic fee. I would have loved to pay $60 fee had anyone told me about it. Not mentioned even once, when I was there to drop off my car. I refused on the phone. Told my wife to never come there. This is the reason why shops get a bad name. Rafael was on the phone the entire time I talked to him. He doesn't want this job. Took the car to another shop down the road, guess what only thing that was needed to be replaced was a single caliper. $225 job only and they bled the brakes and everything. Avoid this place.

It replaced a 2001 Toyota Camry (purchased 2012), which ran precisely like the well-oiled machine it was for nearly 300K miles; I am expecting similar from any subsequent Toyota Camry! Bought the Toyota at Maven Motors in spring 2026 for the fair market value of $13K-ish, after a mostly enjoyable no-nonsense negotiation exchange with the professionally affable Humble Jewish Merchant who owns the place (and is also obviously an adept magician of some stripe in his off hours -- "Game Knows Game"). But it wasn't until July and August that I really ran it hard, all the way up to the lush rural forests of Skull'n'Bones Maine and later down to the deep humid swamplands of Voodoo Georgia, at speeds up to 85-95 MPH for extended periods. The 2014 Toyota Camry is one heckuva mainstream car. Exactly what I wanted: Nondescript, meat'n'potatoes, but it'll run forever, like my last one (presumably). Five Stars for MM (13 13)!
