I don't go anywhere else. The guys are all super knowledgeable and never talk down to me (pretty common at some of the other places in the area). Every service my car has needed has been completed quickly and they are priced fairly. The diagnostic reports are awesome and are definitely my favorite part of the visit (other than talking to the guys). I highly recommend this location to everyone.

Had a great experience with this AutoStream location. They were professional and timely with the work. My husband and I especially loved getting an auto health report mid-visit to keep us up-to-date. Very happy with the service we received and will definitely be coming back!

This place is sort of amazing. I took my car in for an ongoing engine issue, and Stu got to work and had the car fixed in record time. Throughout the process, he called with updates and explained what was going on with the car. Honestly, I didn't think the problem could be fixed (took it numerous other places); but, a couple of days later, it was working better than ever and ready to go. I highly recommend this place!!! THANKS!!!

Wonderful! If you're looking for a place that conducts professional, courteous, and fair MD state auto inspections - look no further. Before I came here, I took my 2014 Chevy Impala with 60,000 miles on it to two separate places and each called out ~$2.5k worth of different issues. Thankfully, I'm a mechanical engineer and I knew there weren't any major issues with this vehicle, so I tried one last time and I'm so grateful I came here. The only thing I needed to pass inspection was new wipers... Read More

From the moment my wife and I dropped off our car to see what was wrong with it, these guys were top notch. Extremely professional from start to finish, it was evident that these folks know their stuff, and have a knack for being able to explain what’s going on so that even a car novice can understand. Stu, at the front desk, was super personable, and exceptionally honest/straightforward about what made sense to fix/not fix. We loved the experience so much we even brought our other vehicle ...

The people here are honest and bring the receipts. I really like that they send you pictures of whatever needs to be repaired with your estimate and an explanation of what’s wrong, as well as tell you how urgent the problem is. Some of the services are slightly higher priced than an average mechanic’s, but it’s definitely cheaper than a dealer and the customer service is worth it. They also do a thing where you can pay in installments with no interest for a certain period of time, so yo... Read More

Staff was friendly, professional, and explained everything about the cars maintenance needs clearly. The job was done on time and I was able to have my car finished within the day. I needed an oil change and tires, but in performing the inspection, they showed pictures clearly indicating other problems that needed attention due to safety. I appreciate the full transparency of this business. I will definitely be going there regularly for cuter maintenance needs!

I had a quick visit here to replace an uncommon sized wiper blade. Dave tried so hard to find one in stock that would fit my vehicle. I ended up having to wait for them to have one delivered but Dave and Stu made my wait effortless. They had many suggestions for great places to eat and even drove me there!
