I highly recommend Bob's Automotive Repair & Service. My check engine light kept going on and off…read morerandomly and I needed to get it figured out and fixed as soon as possible, because of course it's time for my emissions test. I stopped in there to schedule an appointment, and they asked if I could leave my car right then. That was awesome for me. They called me a couple hours later to tell me what the problem was and quoted me a price. A couple more hours and they called to tell me my car was done. That was awesome to me to stop in without an appointment and get my car fixed all in one day. They are all very nice and their pricing is very fair. I felt they were very honest and I would definitely use them again if needed. It was a very good experience working with them.

A literal scam!

Charged me $220, ok. Not even 2 full hours later of me driving around to do errands my engine light comes back on. Not only that within a week after me bringing my car to them, my car starts starting and not staying on. This happened 3 times within a span of a week. I got stuck in a garage because my car wouldn't start anymore and a guy my school sent out looked at my oil and said it was dark!! i brought my car BACK to bob's and they then charge me another $200 just to clean out a sensor but on the receipt it says they removed and replaced the sensor (lying on paperwork) and they said this was a new code to pop up. But when I brought my car to autozone before coming to Bob's, they told me the MAF sensor was the issue. Another 3 hours after driving my car from getting their service, my engine light turns back on. They have no respect for clientele and just want to ruin your car so you have to keep coming back to them. I have never been so dissatisfied in my life! Do not go here!

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.

Editcomplaint details Description of complaint:…read moreOn May 4, 2026 I paid $4501.93 to A&R Automotive in Essex MD for a replacement transmission parts and labor for my 2011 Transit Connect Van. At that time I expressed concern about the fact that I was not local, and what I could do if I had trouble after returning home to NY, approx 400 miles away.... I was told verbally, repeatedly, that if there was any problems I would have 100 days to make use of a warranty at any shop that used technet warranty coverage. I took a photo of the warranty company, to be sure. 4 weeks later the transmission failed near Buffalo, NY. I called the company who told me that technet doesn't cover transmissions or used parts, and the only way they would honor the warranty is if I brought it back to the shop. I asked if they would honor the warranty on the part only, and the owner(?) Mac told me they would only honor the warranty if they could get the codes from the transmission errors. I took the van to my local auto shop and got a printout of the codes, and sent them to Mac. I called to follow up the next day and he said they could only honor the warranty if I brought it to their shop. Which I cannot do because it's broken down! I said if they want to fix it they can pay for it to be towed down to them and of course they said no, I said I understand that they could not honor the warranty on labor, but the part cost $3100, and it was broken within 400 miles and less than 40 days! I got pretty upset and used a few swear words but not until it was the very end and then Mac hung up and refused to answer my calls. How dare I use the F word when they bilked me out of $4500 with a faulty part and lies about their warranty.
