    This is an excellent auto shop that I found when my se broke down in January. It is a shame it…read morehasn't been heard of though it's been around for 12 years! When my starter broke back in January, Chris (the owner) was very willing to work with me remotely until I got my car to the shop. He was patient and helped me gather the parts I needed to do the job. Once I got all I needed and the car to him, he charged me only $100 to put in the new starter! He is very fast; I almost thought he didn't do it well enough because he was so fast haha. But he definitely knows what he is doing and does the job well! The only downside is his location; Clinton MD can be a drive for some people such as myself who live in Montgomery Co. But it certainly is worth it. I sent a coworker to him to get his breaks done and Chris only charged him $110- including the breaks themselves! This place is great and I highly recommend it to anyone who need quality work done in a quick manner.

    So...Chris is an answered prayer for a great mechanic. Being fairly new to the area, we've tried a…read morefew places that have not been satisfactory. Thanks to others' reviews, I was able to link up with Chris. customer service is definitely top notch...we are very satisfied with repairs so far and will continue to take our cars to Chris for services.

    I had gotten my a/c fixed here and my tire pressure sensor so I trusted them to replace the oil…read morepressure sensor even tho I was still having issues with my tire pressure sensor I knew they warrantied it and Andy was a nice guy so I had trust. I shouldn't have. I drop my car off in October. Oil pressure sensor, manifold was replaced. I pick up the vehicle drive 8 miles home and it stops working. Starts making a loud noise. I call Andy he's responsive tows the Jeep back to him. Calls days later I need new lifters. I'm confused cause I just replaced them. I call the dealer. Send the tech my video. They inform me they only did the one side but said "any smart mechanic knows you need oils to lubricate the lifters". I'm confused which will be worked out later but call Andy approve the work. He calls back "we can't stop your engine from knocking you're going to need a engine Jeep engines are just crap". I'm FLOORED cause that engine was not giving me any problems. He calls back with prices that are way more then every other estimate I got but the dealer. Then tells me the engine is on back order but he can get it and will discount the $1800 I've already paid but that still put me into a $6500-$7500 price range for an engine. Additionally because they had to get a used engine they wouldn't warranty their work. WHAT! I lose trust plus I'm buying a house all my money is tied up and my credit cards so I have my car towed from the shop. We're now in November. Andy goes through a holiday and explains to me how during dinner conversations his family is telling him how he shouldn't give me a discount for the engine and he's so nice. Well at the gives me a full refund when I pick up my car and now I know why he was so willing. When they replaced my oil pressure sensor and manifold and gave me my cat Brandon didn't do the oil change. My vehicle was bone dry no oil. When I picked up the vehicle Brandon was a bit distracted with his conversation to his peer about a date and "what women brought to the table" I lie to you not cause I was a bit uncomfortable in the waiting area able to hear this but I wanted my car. When I drove the 8 miles home I blew the lifters because NO OIL like the dealer cryptically said "any mechanic knows oil lubricates the lifters". I didn't get it. A repair estimated around $700 ended up costing me $6000 due to negligence not on my part. I'm disappointed cause I thought I was really going to like this shop. He's the first person to touch my Jeep that wasn't the dealer. I had new lifters and new transmission and their negligence cost me way more than what I paid for the engine. I had to rent a car for over a month. I'm almost out $10k due to their error and all they said was sorry heres your money back.

    Being someone who is highly critical and skeptical of auto repair places.(From past experience with…read moreanother establishment for repairs on my Hyundai Sonata). I needed some major braking repairs done, so I started looking for a new mechanic shop. I found a lot of body shops online that I planned on visiting. Autocare Services, was the first body shop I planned on visiting. Needless to say that after visiting Autocare Services, I came away very impressed and did not visit any other mechanic shops. The mechanic Steve at Autocare Services goes out of his way for the customers. In a matter of minutes Steve was able to tell me what I needed repaired and let me know that my old body shop did not go a good job on my previous repairs. Additionally, Steve made sure that I was getting the best parts at reasonable price ( on a college student budget). The mechanic steve was a able to repair my disc break rotor (rear), disc break caliper (front) and suspension struts. The end result was an impeccably done repair. Job well done!!! (he even fixed a minor trunk problem in my car I presented to him later on at no cost). They fixed my car quickly and with quality. I would absolutely recommend, and this is where I will go from now on for my car's repairs. Great service and quality all the way through.

    BEWARE -- I would not recommend this shop Philmark-Camp Springs…read more I had my car towed here after it wouldn't start. I was told that the alternator needed to be replaced and that the repair would take about three days. On the third day, I was notified that the repair was complete and that I could pick up my car. Before going to the shop, I checked an Android tracker app I'd left in the vehicle. According to the tracker's location history, my car had been driven to Fort Washington within 2 hours of arriving at the shop. The location history also showed additional trips throughout the 3 days my vehicle was supposedly at the shop, including stops at a restaurant, a BMW dealership (btw-my car wan't a BMW), areas around Camp Springs and Clinton, and a lengthy stop in front of a residential home. When I arrived, I brought this information to the manager's attention and showed him the time- and date-stamped information from the tracker app. He denied that the vehicle had been driven anywhere and did not appear interested in investigating what had happened. I disputed the repair charge because I was extremely concerned about the unauthorized use of my vehicle. The situation escalated, and the police were called. When the officer arrived, the manager stated he had driven my car to "test drive it". The cop asked him, 'You drove her car to Fort Washington, Clinton, a restaurant and left it parked in front of a house to test drive it?" Mic drop. Unfortunately, my concerns didn't end there. Eight months later, the car wouldn't start. Took it to the dealership and I was told that the alternator Philmark installed failed and had to be replaced ...again. My opinion? Not only is the manager dishonest, they are also bad mechanics.

Lie #1: Chris states "We did exactly what the customer requested however that did not get the vehicle started or her issue taken care of." We did not know what was wrong with the vehicle, which is why we brought it to him, a so-called electrical expert. We gave him what the dealership thought to be the problem. However, since he said that "What takes others months to do, was a one day job for him", we thought he could get the job done in a timely fashion. The vehicle was towed to him on 4/17/2019. Instead of not being able to complete the repair at all. Lie #2: He states"At which time she contacted her insurance company to get involved the insurance company slowed down the process considerably". It took you two months to discover that there was water damage (Something that should be done in a day, per Chris). When the insurance company was contacted on June 2nd, they immediately got involved and authorized the work. We made multiple two-way calls to him to get the status of the work. For 1.5 months the car was in the same condition until he sent it back to the dealership to reprogram a part. The dealership advised him that reprogramming the part would not correct the problem. He left it at the dealership until we came to retrieve the car from him due to his incompetence in completing the work. We had no idea the car was moved to the dealership. Before or during the transport of my vehicle to the dealership, it was damaged and he takes no responsibility. Lie #3: "Due to them having to come out go over the vehicle authorize tear down and come back out take pictures call back later with authorization so forth and so on." The insurance company was expeditious in handling the claim. You kept saying you were backed up with other work or would ignore calls or text messages. I have the documentation to prove this which will be provided in my lawsuit against you. Lie #4: "This is why the vehicle was here so long and. The customer would not let branch auto get parts she had to get them herself so we constantly had to wait for parts. I provided the initial parts during the first week of the repair. (Receipts to prove this too), after that, you ordered the parts. Lie #5: It's really unfair that a customer can write a bad review that is not factual probably why the other dealerships would not work on her Vehicle lesson learned The dealership completed the work and got the car moving in one day, which you were incapable of doing. This not only a factual review, but I hope everyone takes note of your poor and deceitful business practices.
