When I arrived at the Shop, there was five guys in the lobby. Just seen around. I think they were employees. And when I asked her about my car they gave me this. Oh shit look and he said oh, they're about to pull it in. The time was now three that day and they asked me if I wanted the Service after all. And I said hell. No it took you four hours not to do an oil change. That's upsurd . Give me my Keys. I fed a complaint on the road to app. I received your text and someone was gonna reach out to me. Today is Wednesday, February 11 and no one has ever reached out to me. I will never use a Service again. Worse Customer Service experience I've experienced ever, and I will badmouth this Company on social media to all my coworkers to all my acquaintance to everybody. Very very unprofessional for a business that trying to start up. By the way, you're $60 oil change out to have it done at Mr. Tire the next day for $49.95 Go figure!!!

You can schedule appointments online for oil changes and maintenance. Don't come here if you are looking for a fancy waiting room and shuttle service. Do come here if you want honest service, straight talk, and mechanics who actually care and will fix your issues. I suggest bringing a ride if you can - easiest place to park is to turn to the right immediately after entering the lot and parking on the side, and then walking to the garage.

We asked for a shorter time since it was my daughter's spring break. At first they said it was ok but then they changed their mind. They insisted on a minimum of three weeks. I think that they run a racket on the tesla loaners and charge the insurance with luxury rentals.

They gave me a repair estimate of $17,335.18 on October 15, which seemed reasonable, and I assumed work was being done. For over two months, I waited with no updates. Suddenly, on December 5, they emailed demanding the loaner back immediately and threatened a police report for "failure to return a rental vehicle." I called their rep (Alfonso), who said he would extend the loaner--he never followed up. That evening, the loaner was remotely disabled (Valet Mode) while I was driving, stranding me overnight in 20°F snowy/rainy weather on a busy DC street. I had to pay for towing myself to avoid freezing. The next morning (December 6), they called police (Rockville and Prince George's County), claiming I failed to return the rental. They also told officers my Florida license was "fake" or fraudulent. Police cleared me immediately. I repeatedly explained my disabilities (immune-compromised, OCD, ADHD, anxiety) and asked for accommodations to get my medication and belongings from the loaner (less than ¼ mile away at a friend's house). They refused and left me stranded without transportation or meds ever since. Now they demand over $14,000 in storage/rental fees--almost as much as the repair estimate--yet no work was ever done on my car. I have video, emails, bills, and records. This was unsafe, unprofessional, and unacceptable. Avoid if you value safety and clear communication.

Certified Auto Repair is Tops! Greg and Dawn are the BEST! I have never felt so comfortable with any other repair shop, in my life. I am writing this review while my car is there, now. My car is older with very low mileage, and I like it. Greg is incredibly knowledgeable and explains how he keeps it running, well. There are times that a lot has to be done and there are times Greg will say; "don't do anything about that, right now. Let's wait a little while." Buddy tops them all. Buddy is Einstein's BFF! They are both four-legged-furry friends who enjoy chasing each other around the office just for a little while. I wouldn't take my car there without my little pup. I first went there several years ago after reading about them and then talking to Greg who discussed what I might need. Made an appointment. Been going there, and only there, ever since, for several years, now. read more

About a year ago, AAA referred me to Alex for a small job to buff some paint off my vehicle. It wasn't a big repair, but I immediately noticed how professional, honest, and detail-oriented he was. That stuck with me. Fast forward to about five weeks ago when my SUV was hit by a snowplow and suffered significant damage. When the insurance appraiser first looked at it, he believed it might be a total loss and told me to go to the shop to pick up my tags. As you can imagine, that was pretty discouraging. Thankfully, Alex took the time to go over everything carefully with the appraiser. After a closer inspection, they realized the frame was still intact and that the vehicle could actually be repaired. From that point on, Alex made what could have been a very stressful situation so much easier. He kept me updated throughout the entire process with calls, texts, and even photos of the progress. That kind of communication and transparency is rare these days and meant a lot to me. When I picked up my SUV, I was honestly blown away. The work was flawless. My vehicle looks brand new. Alex is clearly a perfectionist and takes a lot of pride in what he does. They even detailed the car inside and out -- it truly looks better than the day I bought it from the dealership. It's not often you find a business that combines **great workmanship, honesty, and excellent customer service**, but New Impressions does exactly that. Highly recommend.
