What really stood out was their communication. They kept me informed throughout the repair, provided updates on the progress, and let me know exactly when my car would be ready for pickup. The work was done right, on time, and with great attention to detail. It's refreshing to find an auto repair shop you can trust. I highly recommend Bowie Auto Clinic to anyone looking for quality work, honest communication, and great customer service. I'll definitely be coming back for any future repairs!

After hitting an errant piece of metal on the freeway, my car started making the most hideous, concerning noise, so onto Bowie Auto Clinic I went. Sean/Shawn and crew worked diligently to identify the source of the noise, keeping me abreast of their progress over the two days they worked on it. I'm overjoyed to report that they discovered the source and resolved the issue without breaking the bank. If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust--even as a woman--Bowie Auto Clinic is your shop. Thank you, Sean/Shawn and Bowie Auto Clinic!

They kept my vehicle for 5 days after quoting a price to hold it over the weekend. Then, they gave me a different price. On day 5, the price doubled. I went to another mechanic for a wheel alignment and was told it was just a front inner & outer tire rod end issue- no tire problem or issues with the tie rods front and back that would cost $1300 at this place. SMH! Save your money and time. What tire rod fix cost this much. Really My son says this place isn't the same anymore. I've been with this business for ten years. I've found a new mechanic who won't try to scam women. They just make up stories. Don't go--save your money.

Last year I took my son's car there. The guy told me it would be ready in a couple days which…read moreturned into over a week. He told me a quick date just so he could get the car in and get paid. He has no right to hold on to my vehicle. He doesn't care what kind of inconvenience he imposes on his customers. Fast forward to today, my son takes his truck in to get the AC checked. They say he has to get it replaced. BUT, they can't give an estimate because the guy who does the estimates isn't in until Monday. Then he has the nerve to say if we take the vehicle home he has to charge a diagnostic fee, all of a sudden thats policy, because we might take it somewhere else to get it fixed. Like it was our fault his guy isn't there. His mom asked to text the receptionist who knows us and he says he doesn't have her number/jcan't text her. She gets the keys to leave and suddenly he's texted the receptionist and he's trying to work something out. Mind you we have been using this shop for over 20 years! That has never been "policy". And what right does he have to hold our vehicle over the weekend. Notice the theme. All this guy wants is money. He'll say anything to get you to leave the vehicle to make a buck. The previous owner was thoughtful, helpful, thorough and timely. This guy is the total opposite and has zero appreciation for long time customers. The mechanics and receptionists are top notch, the owner not so much. Beware of getting anytime other than an oil change.

I had visions of transmission replacement and my savings being depleted. So I dropped my green monster off on this past Tuesday, and they gave me a nice Honda Accord loaner. They called me yesterday evening to tell me it was merely the fan clutch. Said the part was on order. It must have come in express, because they called around noon today to say it was ready. That fan clutch must have been dragging, because now the truck is way quieter, adn is back to being the beast I love to drive every where. Goss Garage II. Keeping Pat Goss's legacy of fair pricing and honest work, and my vehicles, alive.

My wife and I have taken both of our cars to Goss in Crofton for years. Thousands spent. Always…read moretrusted them. But after our last experience, we'll never be back. Goss quoted me $993 to replace what they claimed was a bad headlight assembly. They listed the part alone at $619. Before approving anything, I asked two very standard, very basic questions: 1. "What is the part number for this $619 headlight assembly?" Melissa told me, "Unfortunately we don't get that until the part arrives." This makes no sense. A shop cannot order a part without knowing the part number first. Big red flag. 2. "How much is the markup on that part?" Melissa said, "Unfortunately I don't have access to that information." Again -- impossible. Every shop sees cost vs retail in their system. It's how parts are priced. Another big red flag. Both responses were evasive and dishonest, and no reputable shop would answer those two questions that way. I took the car to another mechanic (Ron at the Mobil station on 301) for a second opinion. He found the REAL issue was simply a melted connector--extremely common with older cars. He replaced the connector and bulb for $113 and everything works fine now. I saw the owner of Goss respond to another negative review by comparing Goss to a steakhouse and talking about their "warranty." Warranties and steaks have nothing to do with overpricing and refusing to disclose basic information like part numbers and markup -- information every legitimate auto shop can provide instantly. I'm fine with paying steakhouse prices if that's what I ordered, but not if the restaurant can't even tell me what cut of meat they're serving! Bottom line: --Goss tried to sell me a $993 repair that wasn't necessary --Goss refused to disclose part number or markup when directly asked --Another shop fixed the real issue for $113 The upselling is off-putting, but the lack of transparency around parts is inexcusable. We will not be returning, and I'd strongly recommend getting a second opinion before approving any work here.
