I got some service here just recently. It's impossible for me to know if I got a good deal or not,…read morebut judging by the well worn (but clean) office, I think so. I am here all the time for the Food Lion Grocery store in the same parking lot, and the ABC Liquor store across the street so I figure if worse comes to worst, I can always walk back home with something in my backpack. They did the work quicker than I expected and didn't mind that I left the car in their lot for a few days. So far so good. The stickers on the front door don't say if they take American Express, but the kind proprietor said he could do it if he had to. I said, to cover their extra fee? He said yeah. Well that worked better for me, so it worked out well. (to be clear, I paid the extra fee)

Took my car there at 8:30am Thursday morning... they had a new radiator top and bottom hoses installed by 3pm SAME DAY. Cost was tonally inline with what I saw the parts available for online. I've done a radiator swap or three myself back in the day so I know what's involved there. Price was super fair. These guys rock.. I'm really going to be bummed if Joe retires and one of his crew doesn't take over this hidden gem of a repair shop. Fast and Fair!

We got the estimate and it was ridiculous. I know how to work on cars for the most part, but since Im in Maryland I was kind of stuck either paying the ridiculous prices or going to fix it myself 6 hours away. Justin agreed to do the work for an extremely reasonable and fair price, and did it the same day. I ordered the part from the local auto store and he picked it up and put it in withing an hour or so. He sent me videos of what he was doing as well as constant updates along the way. There is NO REASON to find anyone else to work on this car for me anymore, as I know he knows what hes doing and is reliable and reasonably priced. Very Satisfied

That couldn't be further from the truth. They called me around 2 AM saying the job was complete and asked me to send the remaining balance. Just minutes later, my driver reported that the truck was shaking extremely bad. When I called them back, they told my driver to meet them about 10 miles away--only to then say there was nothing they could do. Since then, I have been calling them all morning with no answer. On top of that, my toolbox was stolen off my truck while it was in their possession. This entire experience has been unprofessional, dishonest, and unacceptable. I paid $4,000 for work that was clearly not done correctly, and now I'm left dealing with additional damage and missing property. If they do not communicate with me ASAP, I will be filing a civil suit and taking this matter to court. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere.

The mechanic listened, asked good follow-up questions, made sure he understood the problem before drawing any conclusions, and then diagnosed it cleanly. The part arrived within the window he quoted (2-3 hours), was installed without fuss, and the final bill was reasonable. What stood out as much as the technical work: he flagged a slow coolant leak and a minor oil leak -- this is an older car, so neither was a shock -- but there was no pressure to pile on services. He showed me rough estimates so I'd have them when I'm ready and left the decisions to me. That kind of straightforward, no-upsell approach is rarer than it should be. The waiting area is a genuine plus: free wifi, a table big enough to work at, and a small fridge with complimentary drinks, large TV. My one suggestion would be to add a coffee in the AM. Also, the door to the reception currently reads "B". Might want to avoid any confusion with better signage. That said, I am a big fan of this establishment and will be using them for repairs in the future (apparently sooner than I want :) Bonus: he pointed me to a wonderful Indian place across the street, Biryani, which I'd highly recommend if you have time to kill while your car is being worked on.

She even offered to let me come around the desk to type in my credit card number for privacy which I felt was a thoughtful gesture. Overall my experience was great and my car feels better!

It ended up being a stripped bolt on the front left sway bar link that attached to the subframe. I am impressed with their attention to detail on this, and I appreciate that they really wanted to get it resolved. They also didn't charge me for any of the work, which included a brake flush to fix the brake issue I noticed after the first repair. I highly recommend them, and I think it says a lot about a business when they own a mistake and fix it. Thanks guys!
