“Really great experience at this shop. Had a newly-purchased car with vibrations at highway speeds; the team diagnosed and corrected the problem promptly, and also completed the state inspection, including sourcing a missing part, all within a few days. They were friendly, professional, and honest, which was a big reassurance after our rather harrowing purchase experience with the car. We'll be back for future work!”
“Coming from a dealership to a well-known shop in the area with positive reviews was a wise decision.
Although I only stopped in for an oil change this time, I'll definitely return for other services when needed. The
manager and service personnel were incredibly friendly and put me at ease, knowing that my car is in good hands. I'm already a loyal returning customer.”
“My brother recommended Mr. James, and despite living way out in Germantown, MD, I decided to make the drive – and I'm incredibly grateful I did!
When my 2017 Ford Fusion developed a coolant leak just after hitting 100,000 miles, I shopped around to three different mechanics first. What I discovered was frustrating: my car needed extensive work beyond just the leak, including a water pump replacement and other maintenance items typical for this mileage.
Here's where Mr. James truly impressed me: Not only did he provide the most comprehensive and honest assessment, but his quote was a fraction of what the other mechanics were charging. He expertly replaced my timing belt, spark plugs, water pump, and tensioner – essentially giving my car a complete timing system overhaul at an unbeatable price.
What sets Mr. James apart:
Exceptional value – significantly lower pricing than competitors without compromising quality
Complete transparency – honest about what needed to be done and why
Professional communication – sent regular updates throughout the repair process
Expert workmanship – thorough, quality work that gives me confidence in my vehicle
Even though Mr. James stays busy (which speaks volumes about his reputation), he remained considerate and kept me informed every step of the way. His knowledge and integrity are exactly what you want in a mechanic.
Bottom line: I've found my go-to mechanic for all future repairs and maintenance. The drive from Germantown is absolutely worth it for this level of service and honesty. Highly recommended!”
“I don't leave reviews often (positive or negative, to be honest). But I've had a few fantastic experiences here, and this most recent one today inspired me to leave this review.
General Thoughts: Affordable oil changes and other basic services but the best part is that they are honest and fair with pricing and repairs.
Specific recent example: I took my car in today expecting something catastrophic to be wrong with my AC. After a brief wait, they came back and said it was just a dirty sensor and sent me on my way. ? No charge!!! (I had a free ac check coupon but it wasn't requested). I was incredibly happy and grateful that they didn't try to mark it up or make up some false issue to overcharge me.
So, I'm glad to repay their professionalism and kindness by being a return customer and leaving this honest and positive review.
Keep up the great work! Thanks, again.”
“This is a business with honest people. A couple weeks ago, in a Saturday morning, I brought my 2012 Toyota RAV4 for checking of some suspicious noises when braking. The technician did a free of charge inspection and told me there is nothing wrong with the brakes. I am glad now I can drive the car with confidence.While waiting in their office, saw many technical certifications on the wall of the owner and technicians working there. Impressive.”
“I was referred to them by a top shop to try and get my California top on a 96' 318ti to work again. Well they do not work on those tops however they do all the mechanical repairs on my car including installing an engine. Reliable, honest and extremely knowledgeable on E36 and older. I work in automotive and I absolutely recommend Einstein's and trust their work.”

“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!”
“I went through Gerber using USAA for an insurance claim. They were really easy to work with and they got my vehicle back to me quickly and faster then expected. If you are using the reviews to decide, here it is.”
“Even though the Toyota looked a mess in its glove box, the people that worked at jiffy lube still changed the cabin air filter. Had great customer service experience there!”
“I’ve had two of my cars done by them and both times have been great. No problems whatever. Welds held tight even after hitting nasty pot holes. I will continue to bring my cars here for more work.”
“We were visiting Washington DC for a conference jn our Honda sedan when our car battery died while parked at Greenbelt Metro station (parked under summer heat for 5 days). After failing to jump start our car, we got our car towed to another local auto shop, where they quoted us $838 to change both the battery and alternator. After we were quoted, we called Jungs Auto Services, where Andy helped us in his very calm voice initially diagnose the problem over the phone and said we probably don’t have an alternator issue (given charge test levels we shared). So we brought our car over to Jung’s, where Andy properly diagnosed the problem. All we needed was a battery change. We got a very reasonable quote and were serviced right away for our 6-hour return drive.
TL;DR: Jung’s Auto services has prompt, competent, and trustworthy services and they fully deserve our five stars for helping us in our emergency as out-of-towners.”

“5 stars! Darcars Nissan Collision Center exceeded my expectations! They did an outstanding job repairing my 2022 Lexus GX. The attention to detail was impressive, and the final result looked brand new. When I picked up my vehicle, it was spotless - they even cleaned it for me! The staff was professional, courteous, and communicative throughout the entire process. I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality of work and customer service. Highly recommend Darcars Nissan Collision Center for any repair needs!”
“Brought my car by for an oil change and was met with quick and friendly service. I recommend this shop for anyone, he was even able to help me out with other issues I was having with my car without hitting me over the head with pricing.”

“This review is specifically for the service associate Ronald and the mechanic David. I had been coming to this location on and off for years. Ronald was the first time I could recall where I had someone assist me who was exceptionally attentive. I needed repairs that would take a while and stayed on-site until finished. The other associate kindly gave me a quiet space to work on my laptop for meetings I had all morning, and another complimented me on how comfy and cute my scrubs were! Ronald was thorough, kept me up to speed on everything that was occurring with my car, and informed me on how long things could take. He would peek in on me to make sure all was well and asked if I could help the mechanic find what they needed for my tires inside my car so they wouldn’t have to dig through my glove compartment. That’s when I met David and got a full 360/top-to-bottom view of my vehicle & what was needing repairs. David was so knowledgeable, kind and patient to provide me with an educational moment. I know nothing about fixing cars really, and let me tell you I learned a lot from him that morning! At the end, Ronald made sure I had enough time for a quick wash, vacuum, & tire shine. He also offered me a delicious oatmeal cookie that I couldn’t resist! To the owners & managers, please treat (and compensate of course) Ronald and David very well as they are the reason why I would continue coming back for service! Literally 10/10 recommend! Customer service overall was on point and I greatly appreciated being well taken care of! Thanks again and see you next time.”
“I came here for the first time because my driver mirror was damaged and had to get it fixed. The vibe there felt a bit unwelcoming. But then I met Joann who is a complete sweetheart and super helpful. She went out of her way to provide the best price to get my mirror fixed.
After the uncomfortable experience speaking with the front desk on the phone and in-person, Joann turned that whole experience around. She's definitely a light there in a dark place.”
“My friend referred me and I am so glad I took it! If you’re in Beltsville and searching for a trustworthy auto body and collision repair shop, C&D Autobody in College Park is the place. They repaired my car quickly, and the results were amazing. I really appreciate their honesty and quality work.”
