Last review was 8 years ago when the Edgewater location first opened. Recently needed major repair…read moreand just like my prior experience service was excellent. Service professionals were knowledgeable, professional, and kept me very well informed. Especially happy with the drop off and pick up service they provided. The business has grown substantially which is a clear indication that other customers are as satisfied I. Hats off to Clinton who could not have been nicer and more accommodating and he certainly is an asset to the Neely staff. Hopefully, I won't need auto repairs for another 8 years but, if I do I won't hesitate to take my vehicle to Neely's. Thanks guys.

First, I want to start by saying I don't like having to do this b/c I have used Nealeys for a long…read moretime but overall, I'm very frustrated. I brought my Black Ram in for service about 2 months ago to have brakes all re-done and inspection red flags fixed (roughly $4500). After getting the truck back, it was severely shaking and idling very hard along with immediately misfiring when leaving the parking lot. I returned the truck believing that the inspection work I did not have done initially would help clear up any further issues, so I had them complete the remaining inspection red flags ($5500). To my surprise, this was the beginning of a month-long situation of working on the truck and trying to diagnose issue after issue to ultimately not fix the problems it was brought in for. On top of that I was told I needed to purchase axel extenders for the truck to ride better and replace the sway bar. After I spent the $900 on extenders, they installed and the truck was still shaking badly. Finally, I got the truck back and still no resolution to my issues. So, after 10K spent on a truck worth about 9K, I'm in an even worse situation than I was before but now down $10K. Customer service is and has always been great, no issues at all. In fact, I believe they were trying their best but giving me the truck back 3 different times to have me return it 3 different times for same issues, was infuriating. I'm not sure if I would use them again. Love the people, but being down that much money and now needing to figure it out myself, is not what I was expecting

Appallingly bad service at the Edgewater, MD shop. Took daughter's car in for a routine oil change…read moreand the tech found an oil leak we had not known about (no yellow light, no oil puddles), ignored it, put new oil in, managed to strip the threads of the drain plug so it couldn't close, and told their internal manager, who ignored it as well and let us take the car as if nothing was wrong. Disaster was averted when she unexpectedly came home early from her nursing shift in Baltimore, driving back before all of the new oil had drained, but with the RED oil light on and the car actually beeping at her during the last few miles. By then the sun was up and we found the overnight oil puddle in the driveway. Criminal negligence! We will never use Mr. Tire or their parent company Monro ever again, and neither should you!

I used to like this place, until I didn't. They know I do most of the easy maintenance on my own…read morevehicles, as you should, if you can and have the time. Ie. Air filters, oil changes, even brakes. The first problem was getting an oil change I didn't have time to do. I have an easy access panel on an after-market skid plate, that they over torqued the bolts, and when I went to do it myself, I couldn't get it off. I took it back to them (after I went to do my own and realized the bolt was stripped) and told them to get the stripped bolt out and replace it and do an oil change since I'm not taking the whole steel skid plate down myself just to change the oil when the point of the access panel is to make it simple. They returned my vehicle. Never fixed it. They took off the entire skid plate and now left a bolt out of the skid plate completely. Next, called to ask for a brake quote. I did my own last time (cross-drilled rotors for cooling in traffic), but have much heavier tires now and can't get the things back on solo. They won't replace the pads without the rotors. Um, I just did them and just need pads. Maybe they're mad I do some of the work myself? or maybe they're just getting cranky, but I've taken both my vehicles there since I moved here. Now I'm looking for another place. Ps. There used to be a blonde lady who worked there that was awesome and friendly. Now you just get nasty comments when you ask them to fix something they broke.

My son and I dropped off his 2005 Ford Escape because of a bad alternator. He didn't trust the shop…read morethat just replaced it(went bad in a day) so we looked for one that got rave reviews. Good plan? Long story, shot: They claimed the transfer case had to be removed in order to replace the alternator and the part would cost ~$500 and labour ~$1500. More than $2000 to replace a part that retails for less than $300 and an insane amount for labour that only requires about 1.5 hours according to the Ford Service Manual. It does not require removal of anything related to the transfer case at all. It requires the R/F wheel and axle be removed and then the alternator. They claimed that is impossible and that their "Ford Master Tech" has never heard of such a thing. I suggest he try reading the Ford Service Manual. I guess they have to make their $$ somehow, but they're not ripping off my son. I'll do it myself in the driveway...I tried to avoid working outside in the cold, but so be it. Good luck to anyone who goes to this place. My son ended up paying ~$70 for their "diagnostic" which had no basis in reality.

I brought my truck to Dad's Garage in Owings for three relatively straightforward items:…read more * TPMS sensor programming * Tire balancing * Diagnosing an emergency brake-related clunking noise under load I had an 8:00 AM appointment scheduled well in advance, yet after TWO full days, the truck sat untouched until around 2:00 PM on the second day. This was a job that realistically should have taken a couple of hours. The TPMS issue was never resolved. Initially, I was told the sensors had been programmed correctly and that the warning lights were caused by incorrect tire pressure -- one of the most ignorant explanations I've ever heard from a mechanic. The reality was simple: the inner rear TPMS sensors were never programmed at all, which was the entire reason the truck was brought in. They eventually admitted that after the fact. Next was the wheel balancing. My truck has custom powder-coated wheels. Instead of using stick-on weights like the factory setup already had, they installed hammer-on steel weights on the OUTER edge of the rims, damaging the powder coating in the process. Any competent shop should have immediately recognized the proper balancing method after removing the existing stick-on weights. As for the emergency brake concern, they never properly diagnosed it. I specifically brought the truck in for a loud noise under load -- not the normal sound of the electronic parking brake actuator engaging. They dismissed the issue without ever meaningfully reproducing or testing the concern. To top it all off, they broke a wheel stud using an impact gun on the lug nuts rather than properly torquing them as a qualified mechanic should. Because of the excessive use of the impact gun, I now have concerns about stretching or cracking of the remaining wheel studs and will likely be replacing all of them as a precautionary safety measure. Between the damaged powder coating on the wheels and the wheel stud issue, I am now facing well over $1,000 in damages to either have the wheels professionally re-powder coated or replaced, along with replacing the studs they improperly handled. What made the experience even worse was my conversation with Mike, the owner. From the beginning of the call, he was defensive and adamant that everything had been performed correctly -- until several of those claims were proven untrue. Once confronted with the facts, the conversation quickly became unprofessional, including yelling on the phone rather than attempting to resolve the situation appropriately. Two days wasted, damage to my wheels, unresolved issues, poor communication, and additional damage caused while the vehicle was in their possession. This experience was frustrating from start to finish. Steer clear of Dad's Garage unless you want your vehicle returned with more issues than it had when you dropped it off.

I used South River Auto Service for about seven to eight months as I was working in the Edgewater…read morearea. This auto service is by far the worst experience I've ever had. My last and final visit; I brought my car in because it was having transmission problems. I received a call from Dan (the owner) the following day, and he said "your car needs a transmission, good luck finding one." So being very concerned I said, "what should I do"? He went on to say "well there's something called the internet." Okay, what does that mean? "You're going to want to find a transmission for us to install. I have my best guy out looking for one; he found one in a junkyard, it's $900 and it's a crapshoot." So two weeks of searching and looking for a place with a solid transmission that would be compatible for my car, I did manage to find one and Dan from SRAS said they would be able to do the job. They installed it and when I picked up the car he said "it drives good and shifts good." So I paid just about $2,000 to South River Auto Service and was under the assumption everything was fixed. Approximately four months go by and the transmission that Daniel Eisel and mechanics installed was already destroyed. If SRAS had been honest and said we will not be able to complete this job; I recommend you take your car to a mechanic specializing in transmissions. Especially, after all the money I spent and what I got in return. (i.e. Essex/Glen Burnie transmissions offer a 1-year/ 12,000-mile warranty on rebuilt transmissions and a 3-year/ 100,000-mile warranty on remanufactured transmissions) You will overspend your hard earned money if you take your car to South River Auto Service. Oftentimes, your car will not be fixed properly and you will be left with many issues to come.

I called and asked about pricing. The cost (whether jump start or battery) was reasonable. Mr. Ayala said he'd pick up the battery on the way just in case - having gotten the information I had on hand for my make and model, and my equipment preference if it came to that. He also said that I wouldn't be charged for the battery if it wasn't needed - regardless of him making this outlay. As promised, he showed up about 45 minutes after our call - this is with him driving up to Baltimore. When he arrived, Mr. Ayala looked at the battery, said it was 2 years old, no corrosion - relatively young for the equipment. That it probably would be just a jump start (I had left the car sitting for too long). He then promptly walked me through the steps to jump it, while attaching the cords to the outlets. The car started. Then he had me turn it off without the cords attached to check that it still started, which it did. The service was $85. Perfectly reasonable. Convenient and timely, as well, and I found him to be pleasant and knowledgeable.
