Service bay...truck in the way of my car being seen
Na H.

Came here for an oil change. Was the first one at the bay and was greeted by a pleasant gentleman, who opened my door for me to exit and proceeded to drive it into the bay for my service. I waited outside, since it was a nice cool morning. There was a bench to sit on as well. The interior, as with all locations, is small, but I was ready with my mask to enter when my vehicle was ready or if the weather took a nasty turn. Gentleman came to check in with me and I told him I just wanted a basic oil change, nothing more, nothing less. They will try to upsell you with a plethora of additional services that they offer. Am I mad at that? No, it's the business. Hey, I know everything about my vehicle and if I require those additional services, I'll make sure I get them. I had a coupon (who doesn't get those in the mail after a prior service?) and even after that, let me just say, the price of a basic oil change has gotten really expensive ($50 with the coupon). What happened to the $19.99 specials? All in all, a great location with great staff that I would visit again.

This location destroyed the master cylinder of my car, and refused to take ownership of the $500+ worth of damages to my vehicle. On February 9th I went in for an oil change, then on February 24th the master cylinder of my car went out causing the brakes of the vehicle to be no longer responsive. Putting my life and countless others at risk. Prior to February 9th the brakes on my vehicle were completely fine. This was because the jiffy lube location mixed incorrect fluids in my vehicle. When I brought my car to a different mechanic he showed evidence of a different mix of liquids in the blake fluids. (Which you can clearly see different fluids in the attached photo) I filed a customer complaint and today I spoke with Nick from the catonsville jiffy lube 667-231-9648. who refused to do anything about it. He said lines such as "we would never make a mistake like this." Followed by "I have gotten dozens of complaints like this" then continue to say "I know we don't hire the brightest guys." He kept shutting me down and refusing that his location would ever do anything wrong. They have still done nothing about this. Do not go to this jiffy lube location.

Not sure what they charged me for because this does not look like an "oil change"

DO NOT GO HERE!!! I went to this location for an oil change. My car was running fine before arriving. I paid $35 (using a coupon and ignoring the ridiculous additional suggestions they recommended at insane prices). When I left my car was making all sorts of sounds. I came home and checked my oil to discover that my oil was never changed. I should've read their reviews before going to this location to realize that they have a record of taking advantage of women and elderly. I tried calling and spoke with Nick who claimed to be the manager. His explanation is that I probably just don't get my car serviced regularly (which is not true) and it's normal for oil to be this color after an oil change. Nick's unprofessionalism was just pour salt on the wound to describe my overall experience. Absolutely ridiculous.

Further proof of how the underside of the car is bent due to improper lifting equipment/carelessness

The engine air filter didn't fit my vehicle, but was still installed, and the the air intake box wasn't closed properly.

So my Saturn Vue has been annoying the hell out of me. I've been having an issue with the tire…read morepressure indicator and when I put air, the warning would've turn off. I figured that I either have a leak in my tire(s) or the air pressure sensor wasn't working. I relied on good old Yelp to find a shop nearby and came across Caton Auto. I dropped off my car and I always get a little uneasy at auto shops cause you feel like you're vulnerable but my experience was amazing. I checked in and waited in the lobby. They have free water, snacks and coffee. They came up to me shortly after and said that my sensor wasn't working and there was no pressure on getting it replaced. They said it would cost about $200 to fix and it actually was the price I was expecting if that was the issue. I just didn't want to pay that for a sensor. And the mechanic told me that he doesn't blame me. I asked how much it would be and he said nothing. They even adjusted my tire pressure since some were off due to filling it with air at the gas stations and they aren't the most accurate. I really wasn't expecting this kind of service and would come back to this place in the future for services to my vehicle. Awesome place!

I have witnessed concerns about the possibility of unauthorized access or key duplication after servicing. I would strongly advise others to use caution and consider alternative service locations.

I brought my car in because I was hearing unusual noises while driving. After checking it, I was told it only needed an oil change. Before I left, the owner went into the shop, came back, and added some type of oil to my car and asked me to return another day for the oil change, which I did a few days later. I barely drive my car, so immediately after the oil change I drove the few minutes home and parked it. Two days later, I needed to pick up my niece from school. As soon as I started driving, the car began shaking, jerking, and driving abnormally. I called the shop to explain what was happening, and instead of offering to inspect the vehicle or asking me to bring it back, I was told to take it to the dealership because they "don't do transmission oil." When I asked if I could bring the car back in for diagnosis, that request was avoided. From there, I ended up spending a significant amount of money trying to figure out what was wrong and repair the vehicle. The dealership later indicated that the oil level was beyond the recommended limit, which can cause mechanical strain and performance issues, and that improper servicing could contribute to serious engine-related problems. I returned to Manik Auto multiple times to try to explain the situation and seek answers, but each time I felt dismissed and not taken seriously. Instead of listening or offering any willingness to inspect the vehicle, the conversations became defensive. At one point, I was made to feel like I was wasting my time, and the interaction left me feeling intimidated rather than helped. What disturbed me most was how quickly my concerns were dismissed after I raised them. From my perspective, the immediate defensiveness and refusal to even inspect the vehicle made it feel like there was no willingness to take accountability or investigate what went wrong. That experience deeply affected my trust in the shop. To this day, I believe the service performed on my vehicle played a role in the transmission issues that followed. That is my honest opinion based on the timing of events and everything that occurred before and after the service. Before this experience, I had trusted Manik Auto with my vehicle and had recommended. I never expected to be treated this way when I returned with concerns about work that had been performed on my car. The financial loss and stress this situation caused have been significant. I trusted this shop with my vehicle and expected professionalism, honesty, and accountability. Instead, I was left with major expenses, ongoing frustration, and no real resolution. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Manik Auto.

Siwan ensured to explain every step and why certain things were required/recommended. Additionally, he ensured to show me how the cost was calculated (we all know car repairs can be pricey but he also makes sure that you know where your money is going!) I even received videos explaining the work being done on my car as it was done. Finally, the waiting area was very well-designed and comfortable. These added details were the cherry on top of an already amazing experience! Honestly one of the best experiences I have had. I will definitely be taking my car back when additional services are needed!

I've been meaning to write this review for a while, but life has been busy. As a single woman and a…read moremother, it can be really hard to find a mechanic you can trust without feeling like you're being taken advantage of. Unfortunately, that has been my experience more times than I'd like to admit. The first shop I called gave me a bad feeling right away based on their customer service, but I still made an appointment. Afterward, I checked their Yelp reviews and was shocked by how many negative ones they had. That didn't sit right with me, so I decided to get a second quote. I already had a good idea of what was wrong with my car based on past experience. When I called this shop, the difference was immediate. They were professional, respectful, and didn't argue with me or try to upsell me on unnecessary repairs. I specifically looked for negative reviews--and there were none. I dropped my car off early that morning, and they gave me a clear time estimate for when it would be ready. They even sent photos of the issue. While I didn't fully understand what I was looking at, the fact that they were transparent enough to share images--knowing I could easily research them--told me everything I needed to know about their honesty. I don't remember the technician's name, but they took great care of my foreign car, Lexi, and I'm beyond relieved not to be driving around with grinding rotors anymore. I truly appreciate their professionalism and the way they treated me as a customer. Every single mother needs a mechanic she can feel safe with--and I'm so grateful I found one. Thank you all for your help.
