So today was an adventure. I'm am from the state of Maryland. Had some car issues…read more Tire pressure was low. Stopped by several gas stations to put air in my tire. My first stop was at GoodYear Tire Down the street. Waited several minutes and no was able to serve me. Then stopped at Merchants. The lady service manager said they could work on my car however there was only one Technician available. Reallly a big corporation and only has one service tech?!?! She said it could take 1hr, 2hr, or longer due to other appointments which I understand but could not give me a defined time of completion. So go to America 1st Automotive and I stopped in and the guys were having lunch. But did talk to me during lunch and ask what I needed done. They service manager and mechanic answered all my questions. Needed 20mins to finish lunch and I was ok with it. Took less than 1.5hrs. I had a nail in my tire. Also talked about used car recommendations and labor rates. They are cheaper than merchants and good year. They take walkins . They also do major work, emissions and inspections.

So I stopped in to get an inspection. They told me I needed new tires and a front turn bulb and a…read morerear break light. Total for that service would be $1200.00. I have an account at a local tire. Company so I said I would bring it back. I brought it back two days later with the lights replaced and the new tires. Figured it would just be a quick in and out for the inspection. Btw. My new tires and bulbs elsewhere came to 650.00 total. So they inspected my car and said well all the original things were corrected to pass but we see that your front turn signals are not amber in color so it will cost you 89.00. Wtf. The glass in the turn signals is amber so the bulbs have always been clear since purchasing the vehicle as new in 2018. I asked and they said no the bulbs have to be amber also. BS. So no I won't recommend them for anything other then rip off of the year. As the mechanic was walking past me with my keys when he was done he asked me if I wanted both old bulbs because they were brand new. Never again for this olace

I went here on recommendation from my coworker to get my alternator replaced in June of last year…read more It wasn't cheap, but I appreciated that they were very kind about it and got it done somewhat timely (took an extra day than originally said but that's fine). Well, in late April, less than a year after getting this work done, my car starts having stalling problems. I took it into a different shop, and they determined that the alternator had completely gone bad and would need to be replaced AGAIN. I commute, but this was maybe 15,000-20,000 miles at most that was put on this alternator. After showing my mechanic my initial bill, he was floored at the price ($800-$900), saying it was double what was typical for that kind of work. I would NOT recommend taking your car here. I no longer live in the area so I can't try to get that alternator replaced again with them, but I also do not trust where the parts are sourced from. EDIT: In addition, when I took my car to a new shop to get the alternator replaced, the mechanic told me frankly: "You got scammed, the alternator [that came out of my car] looks incredibly old and it was never going to last very long."

Summer's here and that means both my travel trailer and truck need inspection. Hooking up the…read moretravel trailer just to get it inspected can be a bit of a hassle, so I try to find a location that will do both at the same time, thank you Car Doctor for accommodating me.

John was thorough in gathering information and explaining on the front end, and then as we looked at the quote, both men were very helpful. Trevor is a wizard of a mechanic and did a terrific job explaining what he did! They also performed great work on our daughter's Hyundai Accent, fixing a problem our usual shop couldn't identify a couple of times. Shorty's was our last shot at fixing that vehicle before disposing of it and getting her something else. We are very grateful and highly recommend these good folks. Thank you again
