How a job runs

Quote first. Then the work.

  1. Call to book, or walk in

    Appointments are recommended for the fastest service: call (301) 444-4410 to book. Walk-ins are welcome if you have time and a little patience, and a quick call first will tell you whether there is room right now.

  2. Diagnose

    On the lift, on the scan tool, or on a road test. You are told what was found, in English, Spanish or French.

  3. Agree on the price

    A fair quote, up front, before a part is ordered. The number you approve is the number you pay.

  4. Fix and pick up

    Many jobs are done the same day, parts permitting. We call when it is ready; the Metro is one block away for the trip back.
