Honest no nonsense business Four years ago my then mechanic whom I had been using for almost 5 years told me that my car needed approximately $1200 of repairs. I couldn't afford it and besides the amount and the nature of the proposed repairs seemed rather extraordinary so I went to Joe at BSM for a second opinion. He told me to leave my car and he'd call me to tell me what was wrong and give me an estimate. 3 hours later he called - $150 parts and labor to change a valve. Of course I told him to go ahead and drove the car without any major problems for 5 more years until I donated it to charity. Joe is a rare mechanic - He is HONEST. He will also lecture you (He told me off last month for missing oil changes on my new car) if you don't take care of your car and tell you what you need to do. One star off because he does not take credit cards - cash or check only and definitely cash only for amounts under $100.

Before selling my 2003 E320 Benz, Basit kept my precious running well. He took great care of her. Besides the standard services he repaired extensive suspension damage as a result of hitting a huge pot hole in DC. Joe is also excellent mechanic.

Went to pick up breakfast yesterday and my friend must have parked in this business parking spot unknowingly . I was sitting in the car when a man and I use that word very loosely approached my vehicle and said very aggressively can I help you ? I said no thank you we are picking up food . He then responded .. this isn't a damn pick up food parking spot. When my male friend approached he started to back and again repeated to my friend this isn't parking for picking up food And he could have our car towed . So unprofessional, and uncalled for when he could have just asked us to move .

Mr. Basset was my mechanic. After several months of evaluating his work I have to say I am not happy and would never use them again. He replaced my engine. He decided to use a different intake than the one that came with the car. This caused problems with attaching the duct from the air box to the intake. It also meant rerouting vacuum lines because my vehicle didn't have the same connections that this intake needed. A sensor was placed in the wrong location for the same reason. What really disappointed me was after several months I had to perform maintenance on the vehicle and found bolts missing on my exhaust system and a motor mount. I also found the wrong bolt used on my exhaust manifold that wasn't seated against the manifold. When I tried to remove it, it broke off.

I am new to the Clinton area and I needed to get my 2006 Toyota in shape for the Maryland inspection. I received stellar service. The turn around was faster than expected and the price is competitive.
