If I could only recommend one business to people, it would be Sisson Street Automotive. Jeff is…read morehands down the best mechanic I've ever been to, and it's not even close (other mechanics I've been to haven't even been bad, Jeff is just THAT good). The quality of his work is fantastic and his pricing is very fair. He goes out of his way to work within your budget, letting you know what work is critical (if any) and should be addressed asap vs. what he's noticed could use fixing at some point in the future. But what really sets Jeff apart is his dedication to helping his customers. You can't put a price on the peace of mind I get after I take my 16 year old car to Jeff. Not only am I confident that I'm getting a good price; I also know that my car won't then break down immediately afterwards due to shoddy work or from some other issue that I didn't think to ask about (if I asked Jeff to get my car roadtrip ready, it will BE roadtrip ready). And I know I never have to be worried about being judged for asking questions or for the state of my car (yes, there's gorilla tape on parts of my car and no, Jeff has never mentioned it -- in fact, he always talks about how great my car is and how much he enjoys working on it). As a woman with super limited car knowledge who's always a little worried that I'm getting fleeced at auto shops, the trust I have in Jeff is priceless. I also know that Jeff will let me know when it's time to think about retiring my car. Every few years, I'll check in to see if he thinks it's worth me continuing to fix my car up or if I should start thinking about getting a new one. I probably would have thrown in the towel years ago and just gotten a replacement car (even though I love my current one). But thanks to Jeff, my first and only car is still trucking! But Jeff doesn't only make sure he's giving YOU the best possible value; he's also more than happy to help you ensure you're getting the best possible value from other mechanics. He's had to refer me to some other shops for work he couldn't do (or that would be much more expensive for me to have him do vs. other shops -- again, what integrity) in the past. And whenever I expressed any nervousness about them trying to upsell me, he's always told me to just give him a call if anything sounds off, and he'll advise me on what to do. Recently, I even had a situation where I texted Jeff about a light coming on in my car during a roadtrip. I wasn't sure if it was safe to keep going (the manual was extremely unhelpful, saying both that it could be a situation where I needed to stop and take my car in immediately or to just have it looked at sometime soon), so I texted Jeff a photo and asked what he thought. Jeff got back to me right away, and -- with the caveat that he couldn't be certain what was going on, since he wasn't there looking at my car -- he gave me information that made me confident that I could safely keep driving (spoiler: he was right). He then looked at my car the following morning and got the issue fixed (the problem had been a loose gas cap, as he suspected, and the system just needed to be reset for the alert light to turn off) in under 5 minutes, free of charge. And he even told me he was so glad I felt comfortable texting him about this! I've been taking my car to Jeff for over 8 years, and I can't recommend him highly enough. If you're looking for an auto shop, congrats! You've found the best one out there. At Sisson Street Automotive, you'll get great prices, exceptional work, and outstanding customer service. And you'll even get a thank you postcard with a drawing of Winnie, the world's best shop dog, for your trouble. 11/10, would recommend!

If there's something you don't need, he'll let you know, and if there's something you do need, he'll let you know how far down the road you can go before taking any action on it, so you can get the most value out of what you already have. I'd give him 6 stars if I could!

Dent gone, perfect color match, my new car looks just as good as it did when I drove it off the dealership. Highly recommend this place!

Come noon the next day I had not received a phone call from A1-Auto informing me that the tires had arrived. I called the shop several times but no one picked up. I went down to the shop and arrived at 12:30 P.M. Dan stated to me in a very rude fashion: "I told you to be here at 12." I informed him that he did not tell me to be there at 12, but instead that he stated to me that he would call me when the tires arrived and that I should then come to the shop after I received his call. Dan then informed me that the closest appointment for rescheduling was 3 days away which was too long for me to wait. I then asked for a refund which I eventually received but still had to pay a $60 tire restocking fee which I shouldn't have had to pay because it was Dan's fault for not calling me to inform me that the tires had come in, which is what he said he would do when I initially paid for the tires. This place is a ripoff & they steal their customers' money. I instead took my business to Midas of Catonsville and received prompt, courteous & competent service.

I ultimately gave this place two stars out of five, and I genuinely debated giving only one. The…read moreonly reason it isn't one star is because the staff are at least very friendly and welcoming. At first, I felt relieved to find a location close to where my elderly mother lives, and I hoped it might be a trustworthy option since other residents in her retirement community go there. I could immediately see why people feel comfortable: the friendliness is noticeable right away. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for me to start feeling uneasy... During routine visits for my mother's car, I noticed significant upselling and costs that seemed far higher than expected. For example, she paid around $120 for a cabin filter replacement that I later learned is often closer to $30 for her type of vehicle. That was the moment I realized I no longer felt comfortable trusting their recommendations, and I decided I would not bring her car back. I briefly considered giving them another chance with my own car, hoping the earlier experience had been a one-off. When I called about a simple headlight replacement (after already researching the exact part and repair) I was told they had to see the vehicle in person and was quoted an extremely wide range of $80 to nearly $500. I chose to go elsewhere and had the same repair completed for $40. I also found the volume of follow-up emails and maintenance reminders excessive and pressure-filled rather than helpful. Trust matters when it comes to car care--especially for older customers. Based on my experiences, I do not recommend this location and would encourage others to proceed with caution.
