Come noon the next day I had not received a phone call from A1-Auto informing me that the tires had arrived. I called the shop several times but no one picked up. I went down to the shop and arrived at 12:30 P.M. Dan stated to me in a very rude fashion: "I told you to be here at 12." I informed him that he did not tell me to be there at 12, but instead that he stated to me that he would call me when the tires arrived and that I should then come to the shop after I received his call. Dan then informed me that the closest appointment for rescheduling was 3 days away which was too long for me to wait. I then asked for a refund which I eventually received but still had to pay a $60 tire restocking fee which I shouldn't have had to pay because it was Dan's fault for not calling me to inform me that the tires had come in, which is what he said he would do when I initially paid for the tires. This place is a ripoff & they steal their customers' money. I instead took my business to Midas of Catonsville and received prompt, courteous & competent service.

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)! I enjoyed everything about our experience and hope you did too.

So my car was stolen on 10/31 , recovered on 11/2 , right front tire was popped front rims bent ,…read morefront end of the vehicle was crashed, amongst other damage ! $8k in work paid by the insurance company , some of the work included , new rack and pinion , new tires , rims , front end alignment & much much more! 1 month worth of work. So the next day after i pick up my car, I notice a noise in the RIGHT front end, clicking , screeching So I call Marlene and tell her, she says bring the car back in , but before 8am so Harvey has time to test drive the car. Well that was impossible because my only day off was Sunday, mind you I just started a new job 2 weeks prior because I lost mine when the car got stolen because I couldn't make it to work for 3 days . I made them aware of this also. Finally I'm off of work for week, but Dp was Harvey, I was told to bring the car back when he got out of surgery. All along the noise in the right end is worse the suspension is feeling awful. Welp ! I just took my car back over when I could , months later, but I wasn't waiting for the 8am requirement any longer ! Immediately Harvey looks at the car & says, "this car is out of alignment, it was perfect when it left like it was MY fault! Gives me a loaner and hits me with a $1700 estimate! None of the work had anything to do with the noise in the front end! So ask about the noise, he said t,"the ball joints are dry, I'll grease them when If you get the other work done here. and he was gonna throw the alignment in too. Bless his heart ! He was gonna do me a solid! So i said "nah I'll park it , when my taxes come back I'll bring it in" i had no intentions! So i parked my car, then Covid happened! During that time we did all the work he was going to charge $1700 for for less than $700 ! Except the ball joint lube! I take the car to 4 mechanics, all of them insisting that it unethical to align a car with bad ball joints, the ball joints were damaged upon collision especially if they had to replace the rack , tires and rims! They all four assured me it is against manufacturers recommendation to lube those ball joints, if they are dry , they are bad! Replacing a rack on a car with front end collision and 93k miles and not replacing the ball joints is why it's out of alignment!! They all four said , " the car shouldn't be on the road and he knew it! Even after he was going to get rid of the noise with grease but not the problem, align the car again, wait for me to bring it back out of alignment and nail me to have the ball joints replaced! But hey , he wasn't gonna charge me to rig my ball joints and align my car knowing it wouldn't remain aligned in the first place! So here it is 7 months later .....that little noise that just needed some grease has caused a domino effect f issues with my front end! Don't bother coming here! They are blood suckers!

I paid him to look the car over and give me advice about what was important to take care of immediately, and what could wait. I purchased an after market air conditioning kit and he installed it flawlessly. I live in Potomac, and one day my car stopped working in Bethesda. Rather than take it three blocks away to the local Mercedes dealership, I had it towed to Bob at Star Motors for worry free service with professional integrity, knowing that they would solve the issue with spot on diagnosis. I was correct. He found the loose ground wire and I was driving the car the very next day. It's not around the corner, but certainly worth the drive for excellent service with charges that won't break the bank over the normal dealership pricing. Mark D.

I figured that I either have a leak in my tire(s) or the air pressure sensor wasn't working. I relied on good old Yelp to find a shop nearby and came across Caton Auto. I dropped off my car and I always get a little uneasy at auto shops cause you feel like you're vulnerable but my experience was amazing. I checked in and waited in the lobby. They have free water, snacks and coffee. They came up to me shortly after and said that my sensor wasn't working and there was no pressure on getting it replaced. They said it would cost about $200 to fix and it actually was the price I was expecting if that was the issue. I just didn't want to pay that for a sensor. And the mechanic told me that he doesn't blame me. I asked how much it would be and he said nothing. They even adjusted my tire pressure since some were off due to filling it with air at the gas stations and they aren't the most accurate. I really wasn't expecting this kind of service and would come back to this place in the future for services to my vehicle. Awesome place!

I had check engine problems on my toyota avalon 1999. They cleared the check engine. I had brakes…read morewent I arrived there before the service but when they were finished they told me my brake lines needed replacement. I find that hard to believe. Had it towed to my trusted mechanic and he said I over paid for the check engine light to be fixed. It should have never costed over 1,000 for the job. He said he could have easily done the job for $600. Then my mechanic also said it looks like this company hit 2 lines in your break line putting it on the lift. Only two lines was leaking and this company wanted to over charge me to replace all my lines. My mechanic was able to fix the 2 broken lines that they broke and now I my brakes work just as good as they were before I took my car to get serviced thru this company. I asked them did they test drive my car before they worked on it. And they said no. Because if they test drove it the first time they would have noticed that I had working breaks. So yes they got me good that day. But that's they last time! I ALREADY told them what the codes were on the diagnostic and they still charged me for a diagnostic on their behalf and it showed the same results. They never reimburse me any. This goes to show how much they care for their customers...didn't even pay for the towing of my vehicle just to show that they cared...I could never treat anyone that way...then they send me a thank you card in the mail for what??? The fact that they got over on me. But it's all good.
