    Damaged radiator
    Tom L.

    These guys were great. I was traveling from Virginia to New York and hit a deer on the freeway. While waiting for a tow truck i started calling places to get my radiator replaced. The deer damaged it. I called several places and was told 2 weeks before they could get to it. I contacted JR and told him what was going on. And that I had to get to New York to sign loan documents. Turns out I was about 10 miles away. He had me add water to it and drive it to his shop. By the time I got there he had ordered a new radiator. It was delivered and David installed it within about 3 hours. I couldn't ask for better service. I highly recommend these guys.

    I always drove past this place and like a kid in a toy store I did a lot of "I want! I want!"…read morecomments (to myself, mostly). I mean, what guy wouldn't want one of the Hellcats or Corvettes they have sitting out front? Perhaps one day... I did, however, buy a new Ford F-150 from them. Price wise, I don't think they're the cheapest place to buy a car, but I think you have to look at everything these days when buying a vehicle. Plus, with resources like True Car, it's pretty easy to see if you're getting hosed or not. I negotiated with them and they came down to right around where I wanted to be for total cost out of the door. What really sold me on Krietz was their family culture at their office. A lot of their employees have been there a long time and that says something about the business and the leadership. I also really liked that it was a full-service spot too that does custom work and routine maintenance. The service department has been honest and communicative about options, etc. For example, my check engine light came on a month ago and I took it in. They diagnosed the issue as a problem with the injectors and they knew it was something that would be covered under warranty, so they let me know they were taking care of it. Lastly, their customer waiting area is very comfortable and they're just a few min walk from Frederick Coffee Co, Glory Doughnuts, Pistarro's, or Family Meal. If you're in the market for a new car, truck, some custom work, or just looking for an oil change/brake job shop, I would definitely recommend Krietz.

Service was excellent. The job took a few days and since I was out of town (nearly 2 hr drive each way), they provided a loaner vehicle at no cost. The price was competitive, and there is a warrantee and 500 mile follow-up service visit also. I will be a repeat customer and I hope they have as much business as they want. Honesty and quality work is so refreshing (I've had the opposite experience and it's not fun!)

    I can't recommend The Car Doctor enough!…read more My transfer case catastrophically failed, and I was incredibly lucky that my car broke down just two minutes away from their shop. It was around 10:00 PM, so I searched Google for the nearest repair shop and found The Car Doctor. Even though they were closing, one of the employees took the time to help me drop off my car. That alone showed me they genuinely care about their customers. The next morning, my car was fully diagnosed, and they clearly explained the issue and gave me multiple repair options without any pressure. Since replacing the transfer case is a major job, I was told it would likely take a few days. To my surprise, I received a text message the very next day around 5:00 PM saying my car was ready for pickup! I honestly couldn't believe how quickly they completed such a big repair. The price was very fair, but what really stood out was the outstanding customer service, professionalism, honesty, communication, and efficiency. Everyone at the shop treated me with respect and made a stressful situation so much easier. Thank you to the entire team at The Car Doctor for taking such great care of me and getting me back on the road so quickly. You've earned a customer for life. Highly recommended!

I got there Sunday morning so went to the Mexican restaurant around the corner (it wasn't bad!) and then had a couple beers at the brewery around that corner. About 2.5 hrs later, I decided to come back and just in time, my car was ready! They told me it was on them! I didn't have to pay for the safety inspection! I was floored! That was pretty cool.

My experience was excellent from start to finish. They were able to get me in quickly when I needed an appointment, and I really appreciated that they worked on my car instead of letting it sit while juggling multiple vehicles. The repairs were completed with great attention to detail and quality. Since my car had been parked and neglected for a while, I also appreciated the thorough inspection they performed. They identified a few items that needed attention, which gave me confidence that the car was safe and ready to get back on the road. The work wasn't inexpensive, but quality workmanship rarely is. I'd much rather pay for repairs that are done right the first time. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, high-quality automotive service.

Having been a service manager myself for 2 independent shops and a dealer, I understand what might be justifications to decline a service. None of my visits were out of the ordinary. I understand time is money, but turning away customers is just not right. The most recent visit, was to have a TPMS sensor swapped from one wheel to another (brand new wheel and sensor). I had visited the ship the previous day, and was told it could be done. I even made the effort to take the wheels off the car, so not to take up a lift. Not to mention I scheduled time out of my day , only to be T old work won't be done bc rubber seals on the stem can get damaged. I did inform that the sensor is new, but no luck. TPMS sensors can be removed and reinstalled with no problem, especially when new. I'm just guessing the job wasn't worth their time. But wasting my time was apparently ok. AutoStream website shows a plethora of services thats provided which just doesn't seem to be the case.

I initially thought it might just be an aging coolant issue, but I didn't want to keep driving it and risk turning a cooling-system problem into an engine problem. Their technicians inspected the heating and coolant system rather than simply topping off the reservoir and sending me home. They found that the coolant level was low and traced the issue to a leak that needed attention. They also checked the hoses and other components of the cooling system and explained what they found before doing the repair. I appreciated that because I wanted to understand why the temperature had been fluctuating instead of just being handed a repair bill. While they had the vehicle, they also checked the heater operation because I'd noticed that the cabin heat wasn't getting as warm as it normally did. The technician explained how the coolant system affects both engine temperature and the vehicle's heating system, which helped everything make much more sense. After the repair and coolant service, the temperature gauge stayed exactly where it should during both stop-and-go D.C. traffic and longer drives. The heater also returned to normal operation. I love that they didn't immediately recommend replacing expensive parts. They inspected the system, identified the actual problem, explained the repair, and then verified that everything was operating properly afterward. That's exactly the kind of approach I want from an auto repair shop. Plus, everyone was professional throughout the visit, and the technicians clearly knew what they were doing - very reassuring!

We're also sure there are other customers that have had whatever situational friction worth considering. That said, I doubt the issue lies with Cap Hill Auto. Mr. Charucksiri - Chris - has now over the past couple of years unfailingly rendered repairs and maintenance efforts of the highest quality on-time and within (sometimes under) budget. It's to the point where I texted my partner that he managed to erase history. Your opinion - and mileage - will vary, I hope. I ask you at least to have a look for yourself at the before and after attached here. If you value quality highest, I think you've found the place to go.
