OUR STORY: AUTOSTREAM CAR CARE CENTER

A history of award-winning service

Founded in 1999, AutoStream Car Care Center has been the Greater Baltimore/Washington area’s leading automotive repair and maintenance service shop. Best friends and owners Rick Levitan and Doug Grills opened the Dorsey Hall location in Ellicott City, MD with a focus on service stations, but soon grew the operation by utilizing the shop’s bays and offering top-notch auto repair to the community. In just nine months, they opened a second location in the Owen Brown Village Center in Columbia, MD and two years later in 2001, Rick and Doug launched a third shop at the Greenspring location. With the fourth shop opening in September 2015, a fifth opening in October 2016, Hampden of Baltimore (formerly Brentwood Automotive) in 2019, Annapolis in 2021, Owings Mills & Randallstown in 2022,Parkville in 2023 and most recently Reisterstown in 2024- AutoStream Car Care has expanded to 10 Locations!

After opening our first automotive repair location in Ellicott City, we at AutoStream Car Care Center were eager to grow and serve nearby communities in Annapolis, Baltimore, Clarksburg, Columbia, Ellicott City, Hampden of Baltimore, Owings Mills, Parkville, Randallstown and Reisterstown. All of our locations are home to a team of highly skilled ASE Certified Technicians who provide reliable, top-quality service and a customer-friendly approach.
