    Very pleased with the service and was able to save some money. The main front desk staff was pleasant. Plan to return in the future.

    Perfect Auto Repair & Tires (Calverton,MD)…read more 1 star because I have to give a star but if I had the choice to leave no stars and just a warning. I went there to get two used tires. I was told they were going to put the new tires that I bought from them as my *front 2 tires* When I got home (I live 8 mins away from that place) my dashboard was alerting me that my tire pressure was dropping. I realize my *front passenger tire* air was deflating, it had a nail in it so I went back to address the problem. I was told they didn't have another tire to give me but could give me a discount of $15 and patch the front passenger tire (the tire I bought from them) I then stated I did not pay to get a patched tire (for that I could of had them patch my own tires versus replacing them) which would have cost me $25 to patch. I bought each tire for $75 each!! They said they could put my old tire back on since they did not have one to replace it. I told them to give me a second to figure out what I was going to decide (2 mins later) they magically found a tire to replace the one they had sold me. I leave once again and 20 mins later my *passenger front tire* was airing out slowly, I took it somewhere else and to my surprise it had a nail in it too!!! Coincidence I think not! Clearly we all know what happened. Be careful ladies!!!

    they make me expend $ 1.600 dollars on my car and they didn't fix i went back for warranty and they…read moredidn't found the problem the last thing they told me was. i have to change couple parts on my car the new cost another $ 1.600 dollars that's to much for me with them i lost time and money the mechanic people they have don't have enough experience

    I found White Flint Auto Repair on Yelp and read their excellent reviews. I'm happy to say this is…read morea trustworthy place that charges very reasonably and is priced better than other repair shops in the Rockville area (yes I actually compared). I've had my oil change done here in under an hour and now I'm currently having a few filters replaced. I did a walk in around 9:36 AM today (essentially my only free day) which was nice since they really just accommodated based on my scheduling needs. I would recommend paying cash or debit card to prevent Any additionally charges using a credit card. Otherwise, I'm very happy with their customer service, affordability and honesty. Would definitely recommend to others and return for future car needs.

The last two times I brought my 2009 Honda CRV in I specifically asked, "Please do a total overall check and let me know what is needed so it well and safely." The last time it was in, just a month or so ago, I asked if all is well, it's good to go, etc. BUT this weekend we found one of the brake pads completely gone - having it towed to a different shop now. Per my ask, WFA should have seen the pad was low and let me know. That's what I asked for and, Juan, would ALWAYS tell me; "This needs to be done now or you've still got some time." The new owners just say you can't predict what's going to happen. Sure, but break pads?!?? That should be obvious. Will no longer be bringing any of our cars to WFA. A dynasty has been lost.
