His scam is not sophisticated at all, he took my car for a test drive at the end of the inspection and this is when he created his opportunity to damage my vehicle while out of sight. He cut my serpentine belt intentionally so that it would be on the verge of breaking and then revved the engine really hard until engine warning signs came on and then returned the car to me like a ticking time bomb ready to explode. I immediately confronted him about the damage he had done to my vehicle but he is so out of touch with reality he actually thought I would be willing to let him fix an issue he created. He thinks my car is under warranty so it's a win win situation and I wouldn't care anyways. He is very wrong, he scammed and defrauded me! Not some magical warranty insurance manufacturer... it's me he scammed, it's a Lose-Lose situation. He will not get a penny from me but I still have to pay someone else to fix the damage he did to my vehicle with his deceitful greedy actions.

Redds Automotive has been around so long it feels like they've been fixing cars since the dawn of…read morethe automobile. And that's exactly why they're still here because they're exceptional at what they do. Booking a tune-up with them is super easy, and best of all, they don't play the classic "oh look what we found" game that turns your bill into a horror story. You know the one, the surprise repairs that add up so fast you almost need a tissue for your wallet. Not at Redds. They keep it real with good old-fashioned service and treat customers the way they'd want to be treated themselves. My daughter dropped off the car and later picked it up, and she was all smiles talking about how nice the team was. Polite, clear, and they made sure she understood exactly what had been done. She said it felt like the pride they take in their work wasn't just something they say to sound good, it's the actual motto they live by. If you want a shop that's honest, skilled, and won't try to sneak in repairs you don't need, Redds is your place. We'll definitely be back, and I strongly recommend giving them a shot for your automotive needs. It's a rare find these days and well worth

Side note 1: the truck wasn't safe to drive when I picked it up so I took it immediately to another shop. Side note 2: I called 2x to speak with TJ and emailed as well: no answer. I don't think they're dishonest. I just think they lack the experience to properly diagnose vehicles. Seems like they look at it like "let's see what we can come up with" as opposed to "what needs to be fixed." Finally, every time I called, whoever answered the phone always just said "Hello" like she was answering her home phone. Not very professional. Also failed to mention 3% surcharge for laying with a credit card.

Review of Beamer Auto, Aaron Lane, Clinton MD I rarely write…read morereviews, and I especially dislike leaving negative ones, but auto repair is expensive, and it all comes down to trust. I've been taking my vehicles (BMW X5 and Mercedes E350) to Beamer Auto since 2022. Up until recently, they consistently provided good service at a fair price. Unfortunately, my last two experiences have completely changed my opinion. About 8 months ago, I brought in my X5. Communication was poor--I had to call several times just to get updates and an estimate. Since I trusted them from prior service, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and chalked it up to a bad day. This last visit today, with my E350, however, was unacceptable. I emailed in advance detailing the issues and received a confirmation for a 10 AM appointment on Thursday, September 18. When I arrived, the front desk person (Aaron) asked me to repeat everything instead of checking the email. I explained two issues: 1. The driver seat not returning fully upright (a sensor recalibration Beamer had fixed for me two years ago). 2. The passenger side headlight was flickering and going out intermittently. I was told I'd get a call with an estimate. Hours passed with no update. I called around 3:30 PM, no answer, and their voicemail was full. Eventually, they called me back but admitted they hadn't even looked at my car yet. Approx 4:30, I called again, because they close at 5:30. This time, Aaron said they wouldn't get to it that day but promised it would be checked first thing in the morning. The next day, still no call all morning. Frustrated, I drove 40 minutes back to the shop around 1 PM to pick up my vehicle. My car was sitting exactly where I left it. After waiting while Aaron looked at the computer and asking me the same question again about my car, I was told they couldn't fix the seat issue and that I'd need to go to the dealer (even though they had repaired the exact same problem less than two years ago). Then he incorrectly stated it was my driver-side headlight that was bad, when in fact it was the passenger side--the issue I had clearly outlined multiple times. Despite their lack of communication, inaccurate assessment, and the fact that my car hadn't moved, I was charged $158.75 for a diagnostic check. Based on my experience, I don't believe they even looked at the vehicle. After three years as a loyal customer, Beamer Auto has lost my trust and my business. If you're considering them, proceed with caution--buyer beware.
