A fine place to get gas--or diesel--while on your trip through the area. A mechanic is available to perform work on your vehicle, or perform a State inspection.There are also plenty of tobacco and caffeine products. Lotto. Bones pills. Motor oil and fluids.No postcards available

Been coming here for gas for years. Now that I have Harris Teeter points will need to find a different one because that hasn't worked for months.

I had an outstanding experience with Carlos - a skilled mechanic who fixed the dead TCM in my Ford Focus. He sourced an alternative part to avoid a min 4 month wait with Ford and handled the install and programming flawlessly for a very reasonable price. Knowledgeable and honest, I highly recommend his exceptional service.

I recently came into possession of a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. I asked around to see who in my area does MD State Safety Inspections. I was referred to Carlos at Forest Glen BP by several local mechanics who aren’t setup to do state safety inspections. After talking to Carlos, he told me to bring it in the following Tuesday. So I dropped it off early on Tuesday and was surprised that the inspection was completed by 11:00am. It needed several things and Carlos found them all and explained what it needed. He’s fair and very thorough. After the repairs were completed I was presented with a safety inspection certificate stating that the truck had passed. I would not hesitate to take another car to this shop for safety inspection or for any other mechanical work. Great experience and so glad to have such a good shop in my neighborhood.

I was driving back from Whitetail Mountain during an ice storm and hit a massive puddle on 270 in my BMW 328. The car drove home fine but then the next day I realized I couldn’t make right turns without a horrible noise. I’ve lived near this BP for years and it’s never had a good reputation for mechanics but that’s all changed after I met Carlos. He started here four years ago and I can’t thank him enough for what he did to work on the differential, axle, and transfer case. He went out of his way and didn’t charge me so he could figure out exactly what was wrong with it instead of just replacing the whole thing and costing me $10,000 at the dealer. I think I might’ve got a bill for $3000 but it literally save me $7000 because he is the kind of mechanic that knows more than a dealer and actually takes things apart And fixes the problem instead of throwing things away and charging you more for a total replacement. I hate to write this review because it means Carlos isn’t going to be just my guy anymore but I hope others can give him business because he really deserves a lot of respect for what he does. Very hard to find people like Carlos

Got shadier by the year. Been going here since 2012 and the practice has gotten worse. They will try to charge a thousand and up for "maintenance" on things that they wont specify. Also, if you are a female or female presenting person, expect to get flak from them.

Great gas station with a car repair shop and working air machines for inflating tires (in 2022 $1.25 by coin, $1.50 by credit card).

I am new to the area and received a recommendation for Carlos from the neighborhood list service. I could not have been more pleased with the speed of service and accommodation of Carlos in order to complete my Maryland State Vehicle Inspection. I would recommend Carlos to anyone looking for an sincere and straight forward service experience!

Carlos is an outstanding mechanic -- thorough, efficient, and exceedingly fair. We brought our cars to a different mechanic in Kensington and both Jeeps failed inspection. On recommendation, we took the cars to Carlos for the repairs (brakes and suspension issues). Carlos re-evaluated the alleged problems, explained and showed us on the cars where the inspection reports were wrong, and addressed the real issues that same day at a very reasonable price. Very glad to have found Carlos. We will be bringing our cars to him for future servicing. Thank you, Carlos!
