This guy is a complete and total rip off. He made up expensive repairs but would not elaborate on them. I told him that the car just had a full inspection with my oil change and there's was nothing wrong. However, he claimed he could fix it for 400 bucks. Upon a re inspection by a more credible place I was shown and told that the item that he said needed repairing was perfectly fine. The vehicle was brought back to seven oaks to confront him and he immediately got defensive and would not talk to me. He refuses to show me exactly where he seen leaking. Needless to say this guy is a ripoff and a disgrace to fellow veterans and the small business owners. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. Brought my 2 years new car to get inspected because I had to register in MD. Somehow he managed to find a broken piece on the car and failed it. Keep in mind the part that was broken on my 2014 was a piece that doesn't go bad on cars for yeaaaarrrrrssss or 100k miles!! I have 20k on mine.. The whole situation was VERY sketchy especially when I was waiting, I heard a loud sound - looked over and he was under the part that was broken. Funny how that happened. He told me he could fix it right there for $250 and that any place else will charge me double. Luckily I have a 5 yr warrantee on the car bc I bought it brand new. I got it fixed at the dealership (they as well were shocked that this piece was broken). I brought it back to this auto shop to have the re inspection done. Then he tells me no because I had to come back only on tuesdays(?) for reinspecitons and he couldn't help me- even though he had no cars in the garages. And he claims he told me that which he definitely didn't. STAY AWAY read more

The place advertises that they are open until 5, doors were closed at 4:40. Left our vehicle information in the overnight box and called at 8 to discuss. The person asked for registration and my husband told him it was in the glove box, they replied the don't go digging around in people's glove boxes that he would have to come up there during business hours to take care of this (we both work and made a special early trip there yesterday). We are not using this place! The person on the phone should take a class in customer service, you just lost business for your shop. read more

This by far the most friendliest place you can bring your car. I was in and out in no time. Great customer service as well. I will ensure I bring my other cars here for all services. Thanks read more

THE BEST AUTO REPAIR SHOP AROUND!! If you need any work done on your vehicle's I highly recommend Tony and Seven Oaks Auto Care!! Tony got my car fixed and back on the road in no time!! Quality work, extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and best of all the shop is locally owned and operated!! I'll never have any of my services or repairs done anywhere else again!! Thanks Again! read more

I had a great first experience with Seven Oaks, the owner Tony explained the entire process with me before starting the work. I compared the price with a few mechanics in the area and was pleased with the overall value and service. Tony also loaned me a vehicle to use for the day while the work was being done, I absolutely recommend Seven Oaks and will be a return customer. read more

Rip offs and dishonest!!! They claim they fixed my wheel bearing and I paid 303 dollars. Left the shop not even a mile down the road my tire felt like it was going to fall off!! Took it back and had to pay 225 more because they said my axle was bad??? My truck did not drive like that til after he touched it!! Not only I had to pay 225 more ... I had to pay for it first before he would fix it the 2nd time!! Never will I recomemd these crooks to anyone!! read more

Quickly stopped by on my way home to get my tire pressure checked. The man said it would be a $5 cash only transaction. I have NEVER been to a auto shop that has charged for a tire pressure adjustment. I then asked if he could do card and he said no nothing under $10. Sounds sketchy to me. I'll just figure it out on my own and pay less at the gas station if they are charging around here. Just dumb. read more

Very glad I decided to drop in here when I needed a tire fixed, clean place, professional and nice guys, got it fixed and back on right away at a good price. Will definitely be back if (when) anything else comes up, happy to find a great neighborhood place to take the car. read more

TOTAL SCAM ARTIST!!! Stay away at all costs! Tony perillo will give you fake repairs and tell you they are needed to pass inspection . Took car to Altima dealership with no issues on full vehicle inspection. I came back to ask him to show me where it was leaking and he was defensive and rude. He clearly knew he had made fake claims of needed repairs. Complaint was filed with state police. STAY AWAY!! read more

They tried to play me a fool for my state inspection. Verbally failed me and told me what would need to be done ( none of which was written down on inspection slip) them told me if i want any help to let them know.... Took it immediately to another shop that inspected my car correctly (*which shouldn't be quick for those wondering*) and was able to pass me with a state inspection after only $200 worth of repairs. They saw an older car and a woman and thought they'd try to get as much money as they could. what they didn't know is that I have the entire repair history of the vehicle, which helps prove their repair claims were barbaric. read more

Terrible service and recommends more than you actually need. I stopped by for a state inspection. He was rushed and completed it in 20 minutes and had a huge list of outragoues failures. I paid the fee then a few days later proceeded to a better place for a second opinion. As I suspected, once I had a nice shop (Mikes Auto Repair) do another inspection in which they took their time, I only needed 1 or 2 things done. I didn't trust the recommendations made by this shop at all. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. We took our truck to Seven Oaks for a top manifold gasket replacement. When we called to check prices we were told about $350 to $400. Since he did not do the diagnoses, we expected a little wiggle room on the cost. We never expected a $700 wiggle. Right from the start he already jumped the price $200 because the 2001 truck had power steering and A/C and for some reason that cost more. After an hour of having the truck he called to tell us the price would now be $900 because he had to change the oil and flush the old antifreeze out. We were under the impression the flush and new antifreeze would have already be included in the original estimate but apparently this shop gives you the low price to get you in the door and then calls with reason after reason for the price jack. We also were forced to give a $500 deposit for him to continue or we could pay him $300 to put the truck back together and take it to another place. The next day we got another call that the #5 fuel injector was Miss firing. Well the engine never Miss fired before so I questioned that and even went to the shop so he could show me the diag on the computer screen. He quoted us a price of $1500 now. When we complained he said he would do it for $1100 replacing the entire fuel injector and less if he just had to replace #5. Well 6 days later we picked up the truck and I was pissed to see the $1145 price because he only replaced #5 not the entire fuel injector and he said it would be about $100 less if he had to do just 1. He conveniently did not recall the conversation but reduced the cost to $1100. The owner, Tony is a crook who is demeaning to women. Kept calling me sweety after I asked him not to and talked to me like I was a moron. I read the reviews on this shop after he already had the truck and was increasing the price time after time. That will never happen again. He will also never work on another vehicle I own again. After talking to a few friends and reading a few reviews, I realized this is common practice for this business. A friend took her car in for a oil change and it cost her $300. I strongly suggest you DO NOT take your automobiles here for repairs. Oh and I loved the oil change reminder on my windshield. Fat chance of it being done by this crook. read more

Honestly would love to say bring you're car here but don't, full on the worst mechanic I've ever worked with, simply needed a battery turned into a whole transmission. Biggest crook alive, please do not take you or you're family here or if you value you're care for the money that it's worth. read more

My wife took her car here to get a MD state inspection. As they were "working" on her car, my wife heard a loud "bang" like something falling or braking on her car, as my wife looked up, she witnessed them under her car, and then look at her with a "Uhh-ohh" type expression. Shortly after they advised her a part near her axle was broken and they couldn't pass the vehicle until it was fixed. We got the part fixed, and then brought it back because they advised a re-inspection would only cost 20 dollars. Found out they only do "re-inspections" on Tuesday's and to "leave it here because it takes awhile".... only to see at that time they were empty, and hanging out, with no cars in sight. We eventually got it re-inspected, but will never go back there again. Overall: terrible customer service. Rude and not willing to help the customer in times of need. Plus their hours for a car repair shop: M-F 8-4 I believe, and closed BOTH sat and sun.. expect for appointments. So a normal 9-5 working individual working hard for his family can't even get his vehicle to them to allow them to work on it because most likely they are closed. read more

Tony has been repairing our cars since we were stationed here 15 years ago. You can get an oil change or major repairs, this place has been around a long time. read more

I've used SO a few times. I haven't been here recently. However, the few times I've had repairs, they have been flawless. The only reason I do not use them today, is I have a mech who does PM, and repairs when needed. All in all, SO is spotless and the mechs seem to be on the ball. read more

I went to the place of business this last week and today. The person who runs this shop is overbearing and loud and not very customer friendly. he quoted me a price (already having a warranty in my hand), for something that was covered by my warranty and wanted that money before he did the work? After many days of waiting for the warranty company to work with him, I finally got my car from him, after getting the warranty company ready for the reimbursement The guy is a hothead and very inconsiderate to the whole process. If you have a conscience, do not go to Seven Oaks Repair in Odenton, MD; find another place. read more

They are overpriced, rude, and we waited for over 2 hours for something that would "take 20 minutes".

I'm really impressed. I went for an inspection and they handled my car quickly. The front desk clerk was polite, and there was even a scented candle burning in the lobby (which was a nice touch, actually). I've finally found a mechanic to come back to! read more

Rudest people I have ever meet!!! I have had more than one experience there and super rude both times! Would never use this shop for anything!! Wish I could give them negative stars. read more

I don't want to put any stars. Negative would be appropriate. DO NOT GO HERE! You will pay extra for an inspection that doesn't even get done! Took our car for a safety inspection, payed extra for window tint, signed off, passed inspection. State trooper pulls over my wife, says window tint is too dark. Take fix it ticket to them thinking it would be signed off. Proceeds to tell us they did us a favor by signing it being 35% so we could "Roll around with tinted windows for a while." Swindled. read more

January 2014 and it is the day before I am about to bury my father I get a call from this very company. The gentleman asks about my service and Yelp review. Yes! 4 Years Later, I finally get a call about the incredible rip off that was my $100+ oil change and tire rotation for my then 9 year old Pontiac. He asked if I remembered the experience and I recounted it as if it happened yesterday. He tried to explain how I clearly didn't know the difference in oil types and quality (because I am a girl?) When I informed him I was raised by a mechanic and know plenty about oil, cars especially my own, I was told oil change prices we're probably different when my dad was working if he was the one who told me a $100+ oil change was high! Oh and would I consider changing my review? Well color me almost speechless, but here is the change: this company isn't JUST a rip off they are condescending and quite possibly sexist too. Never go here. #2014 read more

My starter went out on my Chevy Colorado about every single shop except this one was going to charge around 1400.00 for it the shop answer made me pay about 800.00 for labor and parts great mechanics and officially the first people I will take my business to from now on read more

I accompanied my mother to get a safety inspection at Seven Oaks automotive in Odenton, MD. The mechanic Tony Perrillo initially quoted my a safety inspection for $59, I walked out and got my paper work which was inside my vehicle, and then he stated the inspection would be $109. When I asked why the different price, he said $59 is for trailers, its $89 for cars and then additional $20 for tinted windows. Perrillo conducted the inspection in about 20 minutes, and pointed out 3 failures. First, a tire for tread that was too warn, BUT he let me know had a used tire he could replace for $50. Second a boot that he said needed to be replaced because too much lubricant was escaping. Third a tire he said had too much play and needed to be tighten up. He let me know he could fix everything for around $400 in about 4 hour time span. I took my vehicle to a mechanic friend had him look at the fails on the inspection sheet, which he found to be non-issues, and recommended I take the vehicle back and ask Tony Perrillo to take a second look. Upon showing up back to Seven Oaks Automotives Tony Perrillo became confrontational, and angry that I took my vehicle to another mechanic. He degraded me and demanded I give hime the name of the mechanic I went to see. When I told him I would not tell him that information, he jumped up and said he was calling his trooper, and let me know his trooper would take care of this situation. I left the store, the trooper contacted me, asked me to explain what happened, and set up a time to meet at seven oaks, and said he would look over the 3 failed items and if he found that they were indeed fails I would need to have them fixed. When I meet with the trooper, he found the tire was not a fail, perrillo pointed out a different area then originally pointed out to me where the lubrication was escaping. The trooper let me know that it could probably be fixed by just taking the clamp off and retightening the clamp down. The tire would just need to be tightened down as well. I was heading out when Perrillio approached me and said "that will be $20." I told him there is no way Im going to pay you anymore money, he got upset and stormed back into his office area to let the Trooper know I had refused to pay any money. I walked in there and told Tony Perrillio he has acted ugly and confrontational this whole time, and how can you just push charges on people without letting them know cost upfront plus, Perrillio was the one who had set up this meeting with the Trooper anyhow, I refuse to pay anymore money for anymore bogus charges. Do not go into this establishment, especially as a woman or he WILL charge you with work that most likely does not need to done. Definitely do not go here for Maryland State Safety Inspections, he takes advantage of people and makes money off of people who are not knowledgeable enough to ask questions or get second opinions and bullies customers when someone second-guesses him. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Came to Seven Oaks for an inspection, paid through the nose, then my vehicle broke down (unrelated to their repairs, nonetheless). I had it towed back to Seven Oaks, and was told that they were "on vacation", and that now one could look at my truck for over a week. No referral, no vehicle transport. Nothing. read more

Went to this shop to have my niece's first car inspected. The owner/inspector asked for the registration and insurance card. I found the registration but not the insurance card in the car and gave it to him. He then proceeded to do the inspection. At the end of the inspection he gave me back the registration and a receipt for $129. I made a joke about how much more expensive the inspection was compared to other places. He then informed me that the extra $50 was because he had to use his transport tag since I didn't have proof of insurance. I asked why this charge was not told to me ahead of time thus giving me the option to find the insurance card or approve the fee. At that point he offered to take $50 off of the repairs that I needed. When I contacted the State Police, who oversee the inspections, they sent someone to check his side of the story. The person they sent out called me back and stated that the owner told him that I didn't give him the registration or insurance card. He flat out lied to the State Police. Questionable ethics and morals. read more

This is the WORST !!! Place I have EVER been to! Just the fact that I am taking my time to write this makes me angry. The owner or whatever he his, which claims to be a Navy vet, it's an embarrassment,me being active duty member can only be ashamed of serving with someone that possesses such disgusting attitude and lack of professionalism. After asking him for a simple request aka a quote on my broke grill, he decided to take my car bumper apart without my permission. Then gave me an insane quote and after I said I couldn't do it he grabbed all the parts he just took of my bumper and throw them in the back of my car. To end this he then said that will be $60. For what? For ripping my car apart and he then grabbed my car info which he previously asked for and crumbled it on my face and threw it, and continues to say get the F out of here. If I could stand in front of this business and wave a flag to prevent people from stopping I will. read more

ok so i am soooo not a local shop owner, and it truly amazes me that "someone" must comment that after all the negative reviews!!! (no u just suck!!)i have been a customer for over a year at this establishment, and while i have always thought that "someone" was a pretty prima-donna pompous "person", i have spent thousands of dollars here. (in part because i am friendly with one of the mechanics) only now, over the last week have i found out that i have truly, truly been ripped off. things that every other auto shop does as a courtesy, "someone" will charge you double!!! probably to pay for the flatscreen, and the 45' computer monitor so he can sit on facebook all day living off the money he steals from hardworking families...he can comment back that i am a "local shop owner" or whatever he wants but i will tell you this.....karma sucks and the type of person you are will definatley be reflected by what you get in life!!! this is soooo not a well run, family type of business....i hope his "family" is ashamed!!! read more
