I've been taking my vehicles here for over 10yrs. What I liked most is what many have said in the…read morereviews. They seemed trustworthy and honest. I sent my wife and daughter both alone to the shop. They didn't try to over sell or provide services that were needed. They communicated well before they did the work so you knew exactly what they were doing and how much it would cost before they started and finished. These last few visits hasn't been that great. This last visit was my last. Took a 2011 vehicle with 150k for a tuneup, transmission flush and to check exhaust and headlights. We had to call them and We were told we needed an O2 sensor, front rotors, rear brakes and something else. Fine. (No price) Had car for 2 days no follow up. We Called on Friday no total provided didn't tell us what was done or not. They finally called back and said what was done with a total of 1k. They didn't do tuneup or transmission flush. The reason I was told that the tuneup couldn't be completed was because I needed rear brakes. The reason they said they couldn't do the flush was because I needed a valve. All of this they could have told me on Thursday since that was the primary reason we brought the car in for. They charged me for a light repair. Front Rotors O2 sensor and an exhaust weld. Disappointing, because I really use to like coming to this place with the exception of these last few years. Unfortunately writing a review and no longer supporting this business is the only way that I can deal with this bad experience, but I'm sure they will be fine without my business.

It's so hard to find a good auto shop when you're in a car accident. I looked through body shops…read moreand read (scary) reviews and was glad that I made this choice, so I'm passing this along. The receptionist was SUPER kind, I think her name was Melody (I forget because my car was there for so long). I was in a hit and run so I wanted to find a place that was in network with my insurance company so I didn't have to do the back and forth with estimates and also going to a shop place close to car rental places (this place is close to both Hertz and Enterprise) to make it convenient. The service was amazing - Quantay, my main contact was very good about communication, there were a couple misses in when it would be ready, or not so I did drive there once to pick up but it wasn't ready. I live in the city so it was a bit of a drive but I am glad I picked this place. I was impressed that Enterprise (even though they ended up giving me a faulty car and it was the holidays I had to drive to BWI to try to get into a new car, but they didn't have anything) had a car for me at the time of drop off so it was a super easy transition, and the same for drop off, I could leave the rental at Varsity! It must be pretty affordable as State Farm and other insurances work with this center. They also guarantee all the work they do while you own the vehicle.

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!
