This is my first yelp review sadly to say. I recently purchased a vehicle out of state and needed a state inspection performed. Mind you I live in Silver Spring and drove up to Premier Motors for the inspection and I was not disappointed. The building is in the cut near the Rockville metro station but it can easily be found. Inside, it is clean and simple, not dirty or cluttered at all. The manager is D, who was professional, helpful and was very nice. Great customer service! The inspection took less time than expected and it was affordable and not overpriced like some places. I can honestly say that I will always bring my car here for state inspections and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs one. read more

I had my vehicle towed there and they sold me a bad starter. It stopped working a month after I got it installed. So I had to buy another one from another shop due to the distance from Rockville, I called them to try to get my money back for the bad part and was told " That I had a warranty and I should have brung it back to them" So basically sorry for your loss. Talking about getting screwed with no Vaseline. read more

My car sustained damage to the front driver side bumper. Dikran, owner of Premier Motors, took a look, explained very clearly what needed to be done, and did a masterful job on the repair work at a lower price I suspect than most body shops would require, and with a much quicker turn-around (incredibly just 2 days!). I would highly recommend Premier Motors to anyone looking for an honest, skillful auto maintenance and repairs shop. read more

It might sound ridiculous to give a mechanic 5 stars, but this guy certaintly deserves each and everyone of them. Upon doing my morning bargain hunting for some breakpads, using Yelp, I found Premier Motors. First off, let me just state that at the point I'm writing this review, Premier Motors has 5 stars with 32 reviews. That's cray cray. So I stumble upon this Yelp listing and think to myself...hmmm what is this man doing to get such ratings. I call up and ask for the price of just brakepads on my 2007 Hyundai Sonata. I know that usually when mechanics replace brakepads they also try and sell the rotors. But, I was told that this was not 100 percent necessary, I was just asking for a price on brakepads. The person on the phone tells me that they don't just do brakpads and here's why. Paraphrasing: Everytime I just replace a person's brakepads, they come back 8-9 months later complaining about vibrations and ask me for the rotors. I don't really want to let you walk out of my shop with a potential problem. What I can do is the front brake pads and rotors for 325. The 10 mechanics I spoke to before him were not nearly as forthcoming. I said, "hey I just wanted to get an estimate on replacing front brake pads" they would say A: " Ok, what car" B: " You sure you don't want the rotors as well" I'd say, " no just the brake pads" and they would say "Ok the price on that is 180-250" So, not only because of his true want to do an honest and good job, also because of his very very reasonable price: I decided to go with him. I drive up- the place is fairly hidden but is about 5 minutes from Rockville Town Center. The garage is clean, the inside admin area is clean. You can tell this man takes pride in his shop. They also have a shuttle service that will drive you to Rockville Town Center while you wait for your car. Once your car is done they'll pick you up too! NOW THAT'S SERVICE! Everything was done sooner than expected. He did my classic "under-promise over-deliver" trick. Everything about the experience was just top notch. I highly recommend this mechanic for any work that you might need done. The whole experience was an absolute pleasure! Yes, I'm talking about getting my car fixed! read more

Premier Motors - Front - not facing road - Auto Repair Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

My car needed fixed and D took great care of me. His service is the best. He communicates exactly what's going on and takes great pride in his work. read more

I've been taking my cars to Premiere for over 2 years. Both of the cars broke down during the week of my dad's funeral, just as our extended family was due to fly in. I was obviously a bit stressed, but Premier Motors went above and beyond all expectations. D took both cars and arranged a rental for me. He could have easily taken advantage of me as I was obviously overwhelmed, but he did the opposite, arranging a rental for me. Not just any rental: without asking me, he arranged for a beautiful dark navy Chevy Tahoe SUV that was perfect for getting my immediate family to the funeral and associated events. That showed that D had actually listened to me. He took the work off my plate, allowing me to focus on my family. I haven't used anyone else since. Their rates are more than fair and their work is excellent! read more

My sister took her car to get fixed and they used up all her gas joyriding and left her tank empty. They only offered her $20 to compensate but that's not enough when you are purchasing premium gas. They also charged her for services that she did not ask for and her vehicle did not need trying to scam her for extra money. This is ridiculous, you cannot trust these people with your car. read more

I have been a customer of Premier Motors in Rockville since 2013/14 and have no intentions of finding a new mechanic. The owner has always provided me with incredible and personalized service and I have come to trust him and his staff. The work is always done quicker than expected and the job is done well. I trust the owner and consistently recommend the business to anyone who is needing service on their vehicle. read more

Based on the positive Yelp ratings, I took my car here to get a vehicle inspection so I could register it in Maryland. The owner/manager, who called himself "D", told me I'd need to get some minor body damage fixed in order for the vehicle to pass. I refused and took the car elsewhere where they said that the dents and scratches weren't part of the safety inspection (I looked online at the state guidelines as well and didn't see anything about body damage). I seems like Premier was trying to get me to spend a lot of money to get the cosmetic damage fixed at their shop prior to passing my car. I will not go here again. read more

Just wanted to add a student's perspective to this company. Based on the terrific reviews for this auto shop, I took a chance from my regular mechanic and took my car here, for them to check out a problem my regular mechanic diagnosed, but could not fix due to lack of equipment. The folks here were super nice, very friendly, and dropped me off at the Rockville metro station so I could get to work after dropping off my car. Got a call at work with their diagnoses and an EXORBITANT estimate for the fix, which they claimed required the replacement of an entire system, and would literally cost me a third the value of my car (it's secondhand). They charge $70 for an estimate if you don't choose to do the fix with them, which I definitely did not do, so I just ate the estimate fee in silence. Wish they had warned me about the estimate fee beforehand. I had also asked them about a stuck seat, which they said would also cost quite a bit, since the mechanism had to be replaced. I went back to my old mechanic down the street (who laughed at their estimate when I asked him about it). He drove my vehicle to another town to another person's shop, where they did the major fix the old-fashioned way: fixing what was broken, instead of replacing the entire system. He also disassembled the stuck seat and unstuck it, as apparently it wasn't broken in the first place. No need to pay for a replacement part there, either. These two fixes cost me less than 25% of Premier's estimate, which means a lot to a student. I'm sure these guys will do a great job for your vehicle, if money is not a worry for you. But if you'd like to save your wallet along with your car, my advice is to try somewhere else. read more

Me: "Hi, I need a MD state inspection done on my vehicle so I can register it. How much will it cost?" MD Auto Shop: "What kind of car do you have?" Me: "A Lexus." MD Auto Shop: "Oh, that will be $95-$115." No joke, those were the conversations that I had with about 5-7 different auto shops in Montgomery County. Then, I found Premier Motors. Not only is the price right (since I got this done several months ago, I can't recall the exact figure, but I remember it being at least $40 cheaper than all the other places), but the service is excellent. The manager, Dikran Diarbian, is considerate, attentive, and just basically . . . a cool dude. I've only gotten my vehicle serviced at my local Lexus dealership, but I think I'm going to be coming to Premier from now on. read more

I recently moved to the area and had to get the state safety inspection for my vehicle. After searching around Yelp for a good place I ended up at Ormsby Automotive. They were very friendly, but the list of things that needed fixed on my car was bizarre and not on the official state safety inspection list. For instance, While parked in a parking lot a few months ago another car scratched me, but not badly enough that my insurance company was willing to do anything about it. Ormsby said that was one of my failing qualities. So i went to Premier Motors. Different people kept recommending this place to me and it was worth it. The owner, D, was kind and down to earth. He told us everything that needed to be fixed, which for the most part we could do ourselves, and even tweaked a couple of small things for us that we missed without charging extra. This place was very professional and very honest. They made dealing with the Maryland MVA system much more easy. read more

Made an appointment the day prior. I spoke with D. Once I arrived his team began to work in my car immeditely. D is customer oriented, efficient, and ready to answer any questions. I will definitely bring my vehicles and will refer my friends in the area to Premier Auto. Gio read more

I had a problem with my 10 year old car not starting properly. I went to an autozone and had them pull the code from the computer to see something was wrong with the transmission. I got a few opinions from different places that all told me to replace the transmission (to the tune of $1500-$2000). When I took it to Premier Motors I told them about the issues I've been having. They diagnosed the problem as instead the battery. It costs $115 dollars to replace the battery and I haven't had any problems since. Not only did they explain everything to me clearly, but also Premier Motors saved me well over $1000 dollars! I would recommend to anyone who needs car repairs. Thanks, '02 Chevy Malibu read more

My battery on my car died at my job and I needed a place to replace it in a hurry so I could get home. I looked on Yelp and saw the reviews for Premier Motors and called to see if I could get a battery change in a hurry. I was told to come at 3pm. I got to the shop on a wing and a prayer, after getting a jump start. I was about 10 feet away from the shop when my car stalled and died. I had to walk the rest of the way to the shop. The manager Dikran was very helpful and gave me an education on my car. He also advised me to other options if i was needing a new or used car. My experience was great and I felt like they gave me straight forward information about my car. It has a lot of miles on it and other issues. If you need your car serviced this is the place to go! read more

A+++ ! $55 Inspection is no joke, and that's not all. Not only were they friendly, knowledgable, fast, honest, and fairly priced but Premier Motors brings something else to the customer that is in very short supply these days... The human element. They understand you and relate to you like your local barber that you've been going to since you were seven. Premier Motors is more than the best, they're like family and they treat you that way. I could not have asked for a better experience and in the world of automotive repair, that's saying a whole lot. I will be referring my friends and family and I couldn't think of going anywhere else for all of my car repair, body work, and MD State inspection needs. Thanks D! You were a life saver! read more

This place is amazing! I've been here twice and I already feel like a regular. I've never been charged for issues that don't require repair (even for the time it took to investigate), and I've never been pushed into unnecessary repairs. Each time I've brought my cars here, I've ended up chatting with D, the owner/manager. He's a nice and knowledgeable guy who always takes the time to answer my questions. One time, I overheard him on the phone telling a customer that a competitor's price was reasonable. I was astounded! The service is fast and of high quality. I'm always in and out in the same day, and I've never had a follow-up issue. I can't speak highly enough about these guys. Simply stated: honest, friendly, competent, prompt, and (most importantly) affordable. read more

These guys are great! They are friendly, very honest, and deliver prompt and professional service. I also appreciate that they sometimes don't charge if they take a look and find out the car doesn't need repair. Just a great repair shop! I hesitate to recommend them only because if more people know about them, it might be harder to get an appointment -- ie. purely selfish reasons. read more

The manager/owner of this place is as honest and experienced as it can be. This is a rare breed of honest car service store anywhere in the Metro DC area. They are the only ones I have seen that can correctly do a car alignment without find excuses to charge more for a mediocre job which I had in the past at many large companies with advertisment everywhere. These guys grow by word of mouth and are quite glad with the work that God brings their way. Keep up the good work. One last thing. When they make an appointment for you rest assured that your time will be respected. I have been taken care immediately upon arriving for my appointments. New tire/mounting and balancing (correctly) in less than 30 minutes is always the case. They are a bit out of the way but the quality and prices make up for that. Conveniently located near the Rockville metro station. BasilioT. read more

This was a terrible experience. Went in for an inspection, told me it would cost 850 to fix everything. Rip off avoid!

Very clean, quick and courteous. Highly recommended. D. the owner works to save you money.

These guys are great and honest businessmen. They are my go-to place for car problems.

This place is great! As others have said, their inspection price is $55, which was at least $25 less than all the other places I called. The whole process only took about 45 minutes, which included the 2 minor fixes they had to perform. In addition to inspecting the required points, the nice mechanics let me know that my AC belt was cracked, which I didn't need for the inspection, but it was nice that they told me and didn't pressure me to have it fixed there. That said, I will definitely bring my car there for the AC belt and for other services! read more

There was great service and my inspection was fast just as others had noted! I got in and out in no time and got the 55 dollar inspection price that was quoted and I only had to pay for a lamp to be fixed. Which the guy told me I could go do myself and come back for less but I decided it was worth the 10 to get it done there:) read more

Just got my MD state inspection done. Very quick and friendly service. Highly recommend this place! I plan to bring my car back in the future. read more

I'm always weary when choosing a mechanic because I always feel like they over charge for everything. Came out of work today and while walking up to my car noticed that there was a big plastic piece hanging off the bottom of my car. I was nervous about driving it home so I checked yelp to find a trusty mechanic that was nearby. Though there are about 4 different body shops on the same road, I'm so glad that I found premier motors. The owner said hello to me as soon as he saw me and got right to work. He couldn't see under the car so he put it on a rig to get it higher up. Turns out a piece of the sleeve holding the plastic had broken off. He told me that it wasn't worth reordering and zip tied it into place. Problem solved. I wasn't there for more than 10 minutes but I expected to be charged since he had to hoist my car up. When he pulled my car around he told me that there was no charge and to enjoy my day. I definitely plan on coming back here if I ever have any future problems with my car. You can tell the owner is an honest man who isn't trying to nickel and dime you! read more

I had to get the bumpers replaced on my 98 Camry for a state inspection. They gave me an up-front quote of $360 per bumper, which at first I thought seemed excessive. So I called a few other shops in the area, all of which gave me quotes of around one grand to $1,300. It was then that I realized I had finally found an honest auto repair shop, and I'll be coming here for all of my future repair work. The service is fast and courteous, and I can't understate how great of an experience I had here. read more

I actually created a Yelp account in order to write a review for Premier Motors. The shop reminded me of our family mechanic's when I was growing up - clean, well run, and the owner was professional, friendly and honest. I got the $55 inspection that other people mentioned. I asked him about another problem I was having with my car and he recommended I go back to the dealer to have it fixed - and told me the car was still under warranty. Duh, I know, I'm an idiot for not knowing that. But I'm a super busy new mom with a 4-month-old and some days I don't even remember what day of the week it is. He was nice and not condescending about it at all. I won't hesitate to go back here. I wish this kind of service was the norm these days and not the exception. read more

Amazing experience. I have been here 3 times in the last two months. Once for an inspection, once for a repair, and once for an insurance paid accident. All three times they were top notch. Fair pricing, great customer service, and very trustworthy. Glad to have happened on this place, and will definitely be bringing both my cars here from now on! read more

Great shop. I've been coming here for 3 years. They've done good service for me on Maryland inspections, CarMax MaxCare warranty work, and other maintenance and repairs. Tire Rack tire installs, too. Recommended highly! read more

I'm very happy with the service I received here. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes for my Maryland state inspection. The whole thing cost $65. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I have searched around the DC metro area for a mechanic that I could trust to not overcharge me or try to sell me things that I do not need. Premier Motors has been that place. Everyone who works there has been super friendly and helpful. I have taken my car there for 3 major issues and each time they have given me great recommendations and fair prices. They were even able to solve a problem on the first try after the dealership couldn't figure out what the issue was for 2 years. Amazing! read more

This has got to be the best car repair shop around. I took it there because there was some smoke coming out of the hood every time I called sometimes numerous times a day to check on my car only because I have control issues lol they answered the phone very nicely every person I spoke with was very nice and explained everything that need to be done to my car to me in a way I would understand if you need your car fixed I would come here I plan to come back to premier if I ever need my car repaired again read more

I have only gone here once for a MD inspection, but I plan on bringing all of my future car needs here. The outstanding reviews I have read elsewhere are on point,. The manager is very kind and considerate. The mechanic who did my inspection came out to introduce himself to explain everything and to (likely) build rapport. VERY good service with honest employees. This place is not located conveniently for me, but I would rather have it done once right, then piss around with fraudulent businesses. read more

Stay AWAY! They lie to get your money! I went to Premier Motors because I was reading such wondering things on Yelp. I will tell you - if you have an older car DO NOT GO TO THEM. I took our 2001 Chevy Cavalier there, for a vehicle inspection and to be worked on. He told me over the phone that the car was in such bad shape and to bring it up to Maryland standards it would cost me nearly $1,800. At the time I took the car in- he stated the check engine light was on for a small emissions leak. That was a lie! Anyway I told him that that was all the car needed, to go ahead and fix it. The repair included struts, rotor, and new brakes, re pointing the headlight as well as charging me $25 to replace the $3 light by my back license plate. He took me for a ride. I picked up the car and it started making a popping sound every time we stopped- a problem we did not previously have. I brought it back to them- asked them to test drive it, then fix the problem. They admitted they didn't test drive it, but rather "shaved down my brake calipers." A process I had never heard of and thought- why wasn't that down when the rotors, struts and brakes where replaced. I have since worked on the car my self and have taken it to two different mechanics in town. Premier Motors lied about the check engine light- the code read for major emissions leak- not minor. The headlight- that they insisted needed re pointed and replaced- built out immediately- which I replaced and found wiring problems. I just spoke to a mechanic for the emission leak (not minor) and he told me the hole back in the car frame is rusted out. The car is not worth spending more money on. Now please try to tell me Premier Motors did not notice the rusted frame. A RUSTED FRAME should have never of passed the MD inspection. If premier motors had been honest with me when I brought the car in Feb 2013, I would not have spent the $1,800 repairing it, and would have put that money towards a down payment to a new car. They wanted the money and did not honestly state the status of the car. Stay AWAY for from them. read more

This business works for insurance companies. If you want someone fair who advocates for the consumer, this is NOT the place. After taking off of work early for a scheduled estimate, I called Premier Motors on the way and the man I spoke to asked for more details on my body damage. After explaining the minor front end damage on my '97 (car is completely mechanically sound), the man began to talk about how cars are totaled, explaining he knows all about the process because he works for the insurance companies (should've raised a huge red flag). I then disclosed that the insurance company significantly overestimated the repairs, and thus totaled my car, so I was in the process of obtaining third-party estimates and additional evidence to prove to the insurance company that their estimate was inaccurate, and thus my car is not totaled under their definition. All I am seeking is fair and accurate service on the part of the insurance company, after all, that's why we all pay for insurance each month. I told him once they pay me what I'm owed, I'd come back for body work. At this point the man from Premier Motors cut me off and said that he, "didn't want to be involved because what you're doing is WRONG." When I then asked him for a recommendation of another good body shop, he sharply and condescendingly responded, "we don't do recommendations." When I asked for an explanation as to why, as a body shop professional and someone who says he works for insurance companies, he thinks what I'm doing is wrong, he had no explanation to offer other than that he didn't want to be involved, that I can find another body shop, and "I'm done with this," then hung up on me. I was speechless. My only logical conclusion for his rude refusal of service is that it would be a conflict of interest for him to potentially disagree with the insurance's estimate (don't bite the hand that feeds you!!!). Clearly he's paid too much by insurance companies to service we the consumers, the underdogs when it comes to our rights after an accident. Don't be a passive consumer, know your rights, and give your money to a business deserving of it. read more

Consistently great service. If you are seeking a great mechanic and service...go to Premier. Straight shooters who are going to provide the best guidance and solutions when it comes to your car maintenance. Thank you for the great customer experience. read more
