“I LOVE this store/gas station! It's always clean, staff is pleasant ,amazing VARIETY of food/snacks that is always fresh when I've tried it, and the gas is always the cheapest! Seriously, it's the BEST in the area. In this day and age, quality sucks but this place doesn't! Keep up the great work”
“I’ve been talking my car there for about 15 years or more. Always great work and priced fair. No upsell pressure at all. See Matt, he knows his way around vehicles for sure. I’ve even seen him smile a few times. Forget going to the dealer and getting ripped off.”
“Highly recommend this retro service station in the heart of Kensington’s Antique Row. The staff are so very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I just had two tires replaced on my Volvo, and although they were special order, the tires arrived in one day. I am grateful for the prompt, expert service!”
“Store is well organized and customer service personnel are very courteous and helpful. Thank you Costco for the respect and value that you show to ALL of your customers. We appreciate you!!”
“I highly recommend Hickory Smoke Automotive for their professionalism, efficiency, and competitive pricing. They provided excellent service, and I will certainly return for any future repairs.”
“Took good care of my car for a good price. Also found out they offer tag and title services so that helped me a lot from sitting in the MVA lines for a minimum of 2-3 hours.”

“On Sunday 10/13 on the way home to DC from a road trip, my car started flashing lights, specifically the AT Oil Temp light which meant I needed to pull off and stop driving. This shop was the closest to where we were, and although it was not open, they let me leave my car on their lot and fill out a form for their mechanic.
While the head mechanic was not in until Tuesday (10/16), he called my partner very quickly, diagnosed the issue, and said he could have it done by that evening. He personally went to the Subaru dealership to get the part, and like he said, the car was done that night. My partner handled the communications, so I am not sure who assisted, but based on the reviews, I am assuming it was Tek. He replaced my transmission valve body ($1,180), valve body gasket ($15), and valve body wiring ($76). All in all, the total labor cost was $360, bringing my total with tax to $1,732.
The repair was done fast, and based on my research, at a very fair price. My car is now running smoothly, and I don't foresee there being any further issues. If I am to ever have an issue with my car again. I will absolutely bring it back to this shop.
Thank you!”
“What's not to like about a place where you can get gas and a variety of other things in their convenience store, as well? The staff is always friendly and helpful when I go there.”
“I go here exclusively for Mike. He makes his customers feel like part of the family and never ceases to go above and beyond. Can’t recommend this garage enough.”
“Excellent customer service, and I had a headlight bulb change. Replace it quickly, especially on an infiniti ex35. No appointment! Price reasonable! Will return.”
“Pretty good place. They helped me get my car back up and going at a pretty reasonable price. I’m glad I found them and will trust them with all
My car maintenance needs.”

“This place is tucked in a very tight spot large vehicles can not get in and out, also in a very busy place during rush hour….Diesel is available that’s the main benefit and it’s always cheaper compared to any other place”
“They normally don't have too long of a wait. Somedays, they have pumps that are closed, but they normally run smoothly. I did have my bank tell me they put a hold of $100 on debit cards if you fill up with one.”
“Prompt service and great prices. I had a car battery replaced last month, and an oil change more recently. The latter was half the price charged by a service center in Aspen Hill. They did both on the spot with no advance appointment.”

“Pro: big parking lot, clean environment, self serve lottery machine, lot of self check out machine, Con: always long line at customer service This store had a refresh on the inside a few years ago and still look new upon entering. Parking lot is big with plenty of space. The giant is next to smaller store such as subway and more. There is a lottery machine that is self use. The customer service area is always has long line due to only 1 person working back there. If this giant doesn't work out for you there is another giant by cherry hill shopping area that just open up recently.”
“These days, it’s hard to find kind people especially in services industry. This morning, Fletcher took care of my almost 90 year Dad with just a phone call for help. They stayed on the phone with me and made sure my Dad was ok and took him home in this humid weather. I appreciate their unbiased service and heartwarming gesture to help a stranger. Thank you, Will, Rick, and many others at Fletcher.”
“Laid back yet professional. Al and Ron know their stuff. Trust them to check your vehicle for safety and efficiency like my wife, daughter and I have been for some 10 years. Don't go near a dealer. A&R don't "upsell".”

“Stopped in after seeing this place while working. I had a few questions and was a little nervous about just walking in. However the lady in the office was sooooo nice. She answered all of my questions and I was able to go inside one of the homes that caught my eye. Don't remember your name but thanks again!”
“Stopped here due to a low tire pressure alert. Used the air. Staff and owner (?) were very kind about providing quarters for air. Well run store and lovely people.”
