I used this business for a Maryland car inspection, as I'm brand new to the state…read more The people I dealt with over the phone were extremely kind, and that's the only reason for the second star. However - this inspection was $140, and this shop wasn't able to help me fix several of the "fails", meaning I had to reach out to yet ANOTHER shop (the Ford dealership) and get it sorted. Found out the Ford dealership (and several other shops in the area) do these same state car inspections for under $100... $85 at Ford to be precise, sponsored by the Maryland State Police. So I'm blown away on how much I spent for a car inspection at a place that couldn't even fix the repairs I needed. With THAT huge of a price gouge, I feel a bit scammed.

So I drove on it and put air in every time I stopped for gas. When I finally got to my destination I was able to remove the wheel and find the screw. I plugged it myself and moved on. Maybe the techs there need better training or something. I don't think they really removed the wheel. I frequent Mr tire for everything to include oil changes when I don't have the time. I will continue to use the one by BJs but not the one in Lexington park. Sorry.

I brought my truck to Dad's Garage in Owings for three relatively straightforward items:…read more * TPMS sensor programming * Tire balancing * Diagnosing an emergency brake-related clunking noise under load I had an 8:00 AM appointment scheduled well in advance, yet after TWO full days, the truck sat untouched until around 2:00 PM on the second day. This was a job that realistically should have taken a couple of hours. The TPMS issue was never resolved. Initially, I was told the sensors had been programmed correctly and that the warning lights were caused by incorrect tire pressure -- one of the most ignorant explanations I've ever heard from a mechanic. The reality was simple: the inner rear TPMS sensors were never programmed at all, which was the entire reason the truck was brought in. They eventually admitted that after the fact. Next was the wheel balancing. My truck has custom powder-coated wheels. Instead of using stick-on weights like the factory setup already had, they installed hammer-on steel weights on the OUTER edge of the rims, damaging the powder coating in the process. Any competent shop should have immediately recognized the proper balancing method after removing the existing stick-on weights. As for the emergency brake concern, they never properly diagnosed it. I specifically brought the truck in for a loud noise under load -- not the normal sound of the electronic parking brake actuator engaging. They dismissed the issue without ever meaningfully reproducing or testing the concern. To top it all off, they broke a wheel stud using an impact gun on the lug nuts rather than properly torquing them as a qualified mechanic should. Because of the excessive use of the impact gun, I now have concerns about stretching or cracking of the remaining wheel studs and will likely be replacing all of them as a precautionary safety measure. Between the damaged powder coating on the wheels and the wheel stud issue, I am now facing well over $1,000 in damages to either have the wheels professionally re-powder coated or replaced, along with replacing the studs they improperly handled. What made the experience even worse was my conversation with Mike, the owner. From the beginning of the call, he was defensive and adamant that everything had been performed correctly -- until several of those claims were proven untrue. Once confronted with the facts, the conversation quickly became unprofessional, including yelling on the phone rather than attempting to resolve the situation appropriately. Two days wasted, damage to my wheels, unresolved issues, poor communication, and additional damage caused while the vehicle was in their possession. This experience was frustrating from start to finish. Steer clear of Dad's Garage unless you want your vehicle returned with more issues than it had when you dropped it off.

I have lived in St. Mary's County for over 15 years and drive by Tom Hodges car dealership almost…read moreevery day, and until yesterday I had never actually visited. I contacted the dealership with interest in a used Subaru Outback. After speaking to representative, I received a call from the owner, Tom, shortly after. The discussion was friendly and honest. Tom was genuinely interested in making sure I was satisfied with the vehicle. I arranged a meeting the next day to come take a look at the car. Long story short, I ended up purchasing the vehicle with what was easily the best car buying experience I have ever had. Typically, negotiating the price of the car is a strenuous and unenjoyable experience. Working with Becca, Jeremiah, and Tom, we were able to come to a very fair price without the unnecessary back and forth. Not often do you feel that a car dealership is being fair in their pricing, but they were at Tom Hodges. The transaction was quick, the staff extremely helpful from the sales team to the admin folks, and most importantly, the pricing very reasonable. Not only will I be purchasing future vehicles from Tom Hodges, but I will also be getting my Outback serviced there as well. Next time you are in the market for a used car, give them a try. Enjoy a much smoother transaction than most of the other dealerships in the area.

Unfortunately, it took a couple months for a proper diagnosis. The smell continued to get worse and worse, and made the vehicle unsafe and on a drivable for my four children and my wife, I reached out to the owner asking if he would cover the expenses because if I would have test driven that car in person I would've never purchased a car. There was always an excuse. I guess a lesson learned. Even a small town dealership that's been established for a long time. Doesn't have much empathy for an out-of-state purchaser. So $790 later, at least the issue was fixed and my children are saved and not getting exhaust blown into them through the vents while they're in the backseat I guess there was a reason why I was never offered a warranty until many emails later that I kept requesting it((all-time stamped and documented)

The auto shop told me my oil was beyond old. I called and complained to manager at Lusby Valvoline. He was very nice but told me he had video footage that my oil was changed. I believe they changed my oil but put old oil in my car because how do I go from Valvoline with new oil straight to auto shop less than 20 miles away and my oil was black as the midnight sky. I payed 109 dollars just to pay the auto shop I dropped my car off at to change the oil again. I will never be back to a Valvoline again. I have had nothing but bad experiences. I'd rather wait at a auto shop for 8+ hours to get my oil changed then take it this Valvoline ever again because I cannot trust they did what they were supposed to do.

I was driving home from Starbucks with my one year old daughter and out of the corner of my eye noticed a sign for a 15 minute, stay in your car oil change so I pulled a U-Turn to see what it was all about. There was a car already in each of the two bays that were open so it was about a 15 minute wait to pull into an available one. Once I got in there, it was a quick and easy process. I selected my oil type and they got to work. They also checked some things over like the lights, fluids, and tire pressure. They made a few recommendations without putting the annoying hard sell on. Another 15 minutes later and we were good to go. It was nice to stay in the car the whole time and my daughter was happy as a clam with her bottle and toys in the back seat. I used a $12 off coupon I found on their website and have since noticed that Val-Pack has a $14 off and there is also a 15% off coupon for checking in on Yelp. I was emailed a $15 off coupon after the service which I'll pass along to my husband. I'll be back again for sure!
