Really appreciate dobbin auto - they don’t try to upsell you on things you don’t need like some other shops in the area. I’ve been going here for ~5 years and haven’t had an issue ever

I do not think this is a good spot for pre purchase inspection. I took my car purchased from an online dealership for pre purchase inspection during the trial window. I had asked fire stone first, they said $10 for inspection. I figured for such a meagre sum it would be a very rudimentary inspection. So based on google reviews i called here, they said for $55 they would do it. Very reasonable I thought, perhaps I should have mentioned to them the dealership had already shown me paper work that it had cleared MD state inspection, but I did not think it necessary. After about 45 mins of waiting, they told me it was in perfect shape. They did not give any paper work. None. 0. When I asked for some, they said we covered everything MD inspection covers n pointed to a poster on their wall ( i already knew it had cleared Md inspection). I had asked for a thorough inspection, this was not that. I took it to another mechanic, he identified 4 issues( he too confirmed car was in fairly good shape, so these guys were not totally off ) and got approval for all those fixes including heater( not working) and radiator.So this visit was pretty pointless for me.

I’ve been here a few times in the past for my car needs and they never disappoint. I tried to do a price match but their prices were already better than then the other place. This place is now my “go-to” for whatever my car needs, from oil changes on up.Services: Brakes

Was told I had nails in all my 4 tyres n I needed to replace all 4 for $1700 (including) my normal 40k mile service. I decided to get a second opinion only to be told I had a nail in only one tyre and that my other 3 tyres were in a very good shape. They were actually pushing me to change all 4 tyres. Very unprofessional and untruth customer service

Javier and Bri were great. Needed a last minute state inspection for mine and my wife's vehicles and I was able to drop them off in the morning and pick them up a couple hours later. Really convenient too if you live in sewells orchard as there's nearby trails to walk back home if you need too.

I came in to get my AC serviced and they did an excellent job. They are very knowledgeable, honest and I did not feel pressured. They explained exactly what I needed. And I felt the service was fairly priced and performed fast. Thank you Dobbin Auto repair.

The Only Review You Need To ReadMy family has used Dobbin Auto Repair for their auto repair needs for years. And it's unfortunate that due to a recent incident involving this facility, my family will be taking their business (and money) elsewhere.On February 8, 2023, my Mom took her Honda CR-V in for servicing for one specific thing. Their findings determined that several other items were in need of a repair, so they ended up performing work over and beyond her main reason for bringing the car in (brake check, front brake pads/rotors, brake system flush, wheel bearing & hub, rear tire mount and alignment. Maybe it was time for all of these things to be done, not sure if it was an emergency and they could have only focused on the one thing she went in there to get fixed. But that's not something exclusive to this place; mechanics typically will recommend more work than you came in there for, yadda yadda. She agreed to have everything done that they suggested and they got busy and the work was completed on February 9, 2023.Here's the part that was the problem. After $1,704.18 worth of work done, there was a yellow warning light on the instrument panel indicating that there might still be an issue. Maybe the gas cap wasn't tightened or something else, who knows. But Mom asked the service mechanic if they could just take a quick look to see what the issue was; maybe a quick reset needed to be done or perhaps something was missed with all of the work that had just been completed. The guy told my Mom he would have to charge her $55.00 to look at it. Seriously?? After over $1,700 worth of work and years of our business, the guy couldn't take a quick look just to see what the issue was? I get that if you come rolling in off of the street and want a diagnostic check, there may be a charge for doing that, but the work had just been finished and my Mom was still on site. We don't find it unreasonable to have a warning light looked into from the shop where repairs were just completed. What is unreasonable is to charge for that request.This incident was the complete antithesis of good customer service and rather insulting given the years of faithful business we have given this facility. Because of this, moving forward we will be taking our business elsewhere, and we'll be directing all of our friends and associates elsewhere for all of their auto repair needs.My review will be updated should there any attempts from Management to reach out and provide some sort of recourse for this incident. Absent of that, my negative review will stand.

They’re fast, efficient and affordable. Their waiting room is comfortable and clean. They even provide rolling desks if you need to work on your laptop as you wait. Very friendly owner. He greeted me with enthusiasm. Very welcoming.Service: Vehicle Inspection

Lower prices tend to have attached extra fees. Yes, their MD state inspection cost is low. If you choose to take your vehicle elsewhere to get it fixed and bring it back within the 30 day window, expect reinspection fees. Mine were half the initial inspection!Service: Vehicle safety inspection

Came to Dobbin Auto repair for my state vehicle inspection after dealing with some scammers at another garage (I take extremely good care of my 2016 Toyota less than 80K miles but of course the other garage 'found' issue after issue ). Dobbin was fair, fast and reliable. Hopefully won't have to see them again anytime soon but will be back if o need to.

I’ve gone here twice for safety inspections. It was very easy. This last time I went there was because my front license plate was partially pulled off from a car wash. I have a shoulder injury so I couldn’t fix it myself. Austin help me order the correct plate holder and told me to come back when I had it. I came back and he fixed it all up for me for free! They are always so kind and helpful! I’ll for sure be back if needed ❤️Service: General repairs & maintenance

Brought my vehicle in for MD Inspection. It unfortunately needed some repairs to pass the inspection. However my service advisor, Kevin, was very helpful in explaining and showing me what repairs were. in order for my vehicle to pass inspection. i have returned since for routine maintenance. i would highly recommend bringing your vehicle. Make sure you ask for Kevin, he’s the best.Services: Battery
