BUYERSBEWAREBUYERSBEWAREBUYERSBEWARE!!!…read more Go ahead and drive a lil bit further (10ish mins) to K & K Tires instead! K & K Tires is located at 823 Fairview Ave, Linthicum Heights, MD. ---- Last night (6/15) my front left (driver's side) tire had a hole in it and I had to pull over to a 7/11 in Glen Burnie to get air. The air wouldn't keep. I checked my other tires and noticed I had a bubble and gash in my front right tire as well. I couldn't drive home. It was late. I called multiple tire shops that were open, they couldn't help. I was able to speak to a Mobile Tire Service who said he could swap out the tires for me first thing in the morning so I had to lyft home and leave the car overnight. The next morning (6/16 == today), my mobile service tech picked up [what was supposed to be] two 235 tires from Gillies. We wanted to put a slightly wider tire on for both of the fronts (recommended is 225). I met the tech at 7/11 he put the two tires on and I asked him where he got them from because my back tires were closed to being bald as well. He said Gillie's. So I got the address and immediately went to Gillie's. I noticed my car was making a noise and wasn't driving like normal but I'm think it's just the new width of [what was supposed to be] the two 235 front tires. I pulled up to Gillie's trying to get back tires to replace the back tires. The service guy/worker (who actually sold the tires to my mobile guy) told me he didn't have them (the back tires) in stock and also that my car was staggering down the road/limping. Still unbeknownst to me that we (I and/ the mobile tire service guy) were sold two different sized front tires from Gillies, I went to three other tire places who didn't have the size of the back tires. I ended up finding K & K Tires this morning (thank god) trying to get the back tires replaced (which they had in stock), however, when I got there their mechanics were telling me that they couldn't change the backs cause the fronts were not even the same size. I ended up having them change the front two tires to the SAME/matching size. I was already seriously late for work so I had to go to work but I contacted the mobile tire repair guy to contact Gillie's while I was at work because I couldn't have my phone. He contacted them and told me to go back after work so they can fix everything. After work (within the last hour), I drove to Gillie's and was immediately met by the serviceman who told me earlier that my car was staggering, and he told me that he already knows what I'm here for (he got the call) and that he was going to get the manager, "Gillie". Gillie, instead of coming outside to speak to me directly, kept relaying messages to his employee and also my mobile tire repair guy (who I was on the phone with trying to get this resolved). Back and forth back and forth. I was waiting outside for 30 mins before I told my mobile service guy to call Gillie and tell him to come outside to speak to me because Gillie didn't want to fix the issue that they caused. My whole transmission could've went bad as the tires were different sizes and I have an all-wheel drive sports sedan. Gillie finally came outside trying to belittle me telling me "I don't know cars", "he was on the phone w/ the mobile tire repair guy when he was changing my tires" and a bunch of other lies. Definitely lying about being on the phone w/ the mobile service guy because I was right next to him as he was putting on the tires. At this point, it's a scene, there's other patrons there witnessing everything. Gillie wanted to just give me two 235 tires (which was supposed to had be the case in the first place), which wouldn't have fixed the situation as K & K Tires properly put two matching front tires on so I wouldn't ruin my transmission as I have to drive a lot of miles across the DMV. Gillie told me "it's on me if I want to make a bad review". Gillie would rather risk the reputation of his business than to make things right by his customer. PLEASE GO TO K & K Tires not too far from here if you value your vehicle and safety!!!!!!!!!!!!! The location (for my account) says SanFran (account defaulted to that) but this is for the "business" located at 4904 Ritchie Hwy, Baltimore, MD 21225 (it may say Brooklyn, MD in some places/websites online).

I highly recommend JT Auto-- it's now my go-to auto shop! I first stopped in a couple months ago…read morewhen my check engine light came on (everyone's worst nightmare!) and most recently for routine maintenance. I called up JT Auto as soon as my check engine light came on and I was connected with Lisa, who is an absolute gem! She was able to get me an appointment for the next day and walked me through the whole process. I had to come back more than once in between my meetings, and Lisa was very considerate and informed me that because they were experiencing a delay, she could stay open a little late so I could pick up my vehicle. The first time I checked in, she informed me that the wrong part was sent over, but Lisa expertly navigated calling the right folks to ensure that I got the right part! When picking up my car, JT was able to answer all my questions and recommended some helpful service tips that may save me from some grief in the future. The second time I went in was for routine maintenance and the whole JT Auto team was able to get me in and out ASAP! I can say with confidence that JT Auto is my go-to location for all my car needs. Thanks to the whole team for providing efficient, reliable service!

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!

Caton Auto Clinic - Excellent Customer Service, but Get an Estimate First To Be Sure…read more Caton Auto Clinic provides excellent customer service and is affiliated with AAA. They offer a convenient after-hours drop-off box, a nice waiting area, and a location right off a major beltway. I was also impressed by how clean and well-maintained the parking lot and repair facility were. With over 35 years in business, they clearly have an established presence in the community. My main concern was the cost of diagnostics and repairs. I was quoted approximately $900 for diagnostics and the recommended work, with individual diagnostic charges ranging from about $160-$200 (see attached estimate). After getting additional estimates, I found a local garage that was able to complete ALL the repairs for about the same price as Caton Auto Clinic's original quote. Since my son's car was older, the repair cost was approaching the overall value of the vehicle, so I had to carefully consider whether the expense made sense. I understand that quality service and experienced technicians come at a cost, but I recommend asking for a detailed estimate and clarifying all diagnostic fees upfront before authorizing any work. I also noticed their billboard advertising a $79.99 oil change, which seems like a great deal in today's market! Overall, Caton Auto Clinic has a lot of positives, including friendly customer service, a clean facility, and a convenient location , coffee area . If I had a newer car, I would absolutely consider using them. For an older vehicle, however, I would recommend comparing estimates first to make sure the cost of repairs is worthwhile.

It was so good, I thought I would go back for an oil change and 30 point inspection. However, this time I was unpleasantly surprised. They told me when I dropped off the car it would be $127 so I said no problem. When I returned it magically went up to $192! When I inquired into why they hemmed and hawed until it finally came out that they broke my oil filter cap. They claimed "those break all the time." I pointed out I have gotten my car serviced many times at the dealer (2017 car) and not once have they broke it. No response. They claimed they replaced it "with a better one." So you charged me $68 for a $30 ish aluminum cap that YOU broke. I really hate when people talk to women like they don't know anything about cars. I know they were price gouging me and I don't appreciate being talked to like I was an idiot. I have grown up going to car shows and working with my dad on his classic cars and I don't appreciate this behavior. I will not be returning. The only reason they get 3 stars is for the previous experiences.

Reasons you should make Ridgeway your independent auto service garage of choice:…read more 1) They're honest - if they come across anything unexpected or that wasn't on the work estimate, they call you. If there's any question, they'll take you into the shop and show you what needs fixing and why. 2) They're reasonable - Prices aren't out of this world, even for foreign cars. They don't replace parts just because they can, either. I've never had a service with them go over the estimate unless they uncovered a larger, unanticipated problem. 3) They deliver on time - when they say they'll finish servicing your vehicle by a certain time, it's almost always done by that time. If you've got a rush job, they'll try to fit you in when they can, and usually manage to get your repair done by your requested time. 4) They don't treat you like an idiot, even if you wear a skirt - my wife gets the same professional treatment as I do. When she took a previous car in thinking the power steering pump would need replacing, they reassured her that a much less expensive belt and tensioner would be all that was necessary. 5) They're pretty friendly, too - Ridgeway's been in the neighborhood for a long time, and they work to maintain their reputation. Plus they get to work in a cool old gas station as the front part of their garage center. Bonus: Even though they don't advertise as such, they originally specialized in Volkswagen service and repair, and still retain a lot of that business. Good VW shops are hard to find, and they've been doing them @ Ridgeway for decades.
