Here is why they get 1 star and why they lost me forever as a customer:…read more -They got the toe value wrong on an alignment that they performed 8K miles ago and that mistake damaged my new, expensive tires. -When they performed that so-called "alignment," I personally witnessed their employee use an air ratchet to tighten the lug nuts on my alloy wheels, and not a torque wrench as they state that their employees are supposed to use. -As a result of the premature tire wear, I brought the car in for an alignment check and a tire rotation. They gave me back my car after servicing the tires and the LOW TIRE PRESSURE warning light was on. I immediately told the service writer about it and he just shrugged and said "we moved your tires around and that caused the light to come on, so just drive it and it probably will go off." Really? The light only turns on if it detects air pressure below the required amount and only turns off if the tire has the required pressure. It doesn't just turn on or off if the tires get moved around. Instead of going out and checking the tire pressures or getting the person who worked on my car to do it, this supposed "tire expert" was too arrogant and lazy to do anything more than toss BS at me and hope I'd go away. -The real reason the LOW TIRE PRESSURE light was on was because they failed to check and adjust the tire pressures when rotating my tires. The correct tire pressures for my car are 32 lbs. front and 38 lbs. rear. After the rotation, the fronts were at 38 lbs. and the rears were at 32 lbs. This caused the TPMS to turn on the LOW TIRE PRESSURE warning light for the rear tires. -They took no measures to protect the interior of my car from the grime, grease and dirt on their employee's hands and clothing. As a result, he smeared brown grease and black, sooty filth all over the light tan leather driver seat and door handle and on the leather steering wheel and shift knob. I had to clean the seat as best I could with a napkin and hand sanitizer so that I could drive it home without ruining my clothes. For a number of years, this place used to be OK and once, I even gave it a favorable review. I think that it has undergone a lot of personnel changes. I would no longer recommend it for any service unless you are satisfied with: sloppy alignments that put expensive tires at risk of damage; use of an air ratchet to tighten the lug nuts on alloy wheels; careless work on tires that omits re-setting tire pressures after a rotation; having the interior of your car trashed by grease and black soot; and no ownership for addressing or fixing problems that they cause that activate tire pressure warning lights. There are a lot of tire stores in the area. This is not one that I will ever revisit.

This is my second outstanding experience with Brothers Auto & Towing, and they've earned my trust…read more My car broke down and I needed a tow fast--within 15 minutes, a truck was at my house (I do live close, but still impressive). The driver was professional, friendly, and made the whole situation stress-free. Most recently, my alternator went out on a Sunday. I called again, and they responded immediately--picked up my family van and towed it all the way to Towson without any hassle. Communication was solid too--they sent photos once the vehicle was delivered so I knew it arrived safely. Fast, reliable, professional, and reasonably priced. That's hard to find these days. A+ in my book. -Thomas

Instead, I received an invoice for $736.80 that didn't even include the CV axle work I came in for. I was charged $345 for a "diagnostic" on a problem I had already identified and explained, and a $20 washer was turned into a $307 brake hose replacement I never authorized. The work order mischaracterized what I told them -- they wrote "brakes spongy" and "axle is making noise," neither of which I said. Their own authorization form states they cannot charge for work you did not authorize. Be very careful here and get everything in writing.

I also asked them to check the transmission fluid and investigate a suspension knock that I was hearing/feeling. The owner checked the car and called me and we agreed on the work to be done and the price. He explained that the knocking was due to strut and sway bar wear and I decided not to have that work done this visit as he said it wasn't a dangerous situation. When I went to pick up the car I had additional discussions with the owner and I found him to be very honest and sincere. He understood that I was reticent to sink a bunch of money into a 12 year old car. He knew I had done my own brake work and said he was confident I could do the suspension work myself and even gave me tips on how to do it. The work LARC did was done well, with quality materials, and at a fair price - not cheap, but fair. The owner also checked out an old Mazda I had and while no work was done, that experience was also very positive. Another good feature of this shop is that the station is open late so you can go in after hours and pay and pick up your car. And "The Grill" also has great food to boot. There is always an element of fear when I take my car in to have work done. Mechanics many times are in a position to take advantage of customers, and many do. So besides knowing I am going to get quality work done at LARC, I feel there is great value in knowing that I can trust that I'm going to get honest feedback and not get scammed. I feel very fortunate to have found LARC and I will definitely be using them for future work.
