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. 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 and a fifth opening in October 2016, AutoStream Car Care has expanded to 5 locations! Over the past years, these shops have won several awards, including 2016 Bayed Station Award of Excellence, 2017 Best of Montgomery County Reader’s Award, 2018 Industry Achievement Award for Highest Rated Repair shop and 2018 Ratchet+Wrench All-Star Award with technician Joseph Hearn.
