Maish’s Auto Service

«Mechanics you can trust.»
Living in downtown Baltimore with a fourteen year old car, I’ve had to use a repair shop a lot, and Maish’s has been great. I’ve taken my old car there at least three times with various problems, and they’ve treated me honestly. You can tell if a dishonest mechanic is trying to push you to spend more money than you need, and the mechanics at Maish’s don’t. They offer you options, explain why they’re thinking what they’re thinking, and let you choose.
I first went in with an engine overheat, and instead of trying to convince me I needed an expensive engine rebuild, they suggested starting with an inexpensive single part repair, which worked. They got me the part from another shop that same day and I was back on the road that afternoon. When my windshield wipers got rusted onto the wiper arms and I couldn’t get them off myself without breaking something, they fixed it for me and didn’t charge me anything except the wipers. When my air conditioner stopped working, instead of jumping to a expensive rebuild, they suggested I could try a far less expensive patch first — and if that didn’t work, then we could come back and think about a more expensive rebuild. They were right, I got an extra six months out of it, and when it failed again and their inspection suggested I’d have to spend big money to fix the problem, I decided it was about time to get a new car rather than repair — and they waived the cost of the inspection. And each time they drove me to work at Hopkins when I left my car at the shop, and drove me back when the car was done.
Honest mechanics more interested in you getting the services you need at the lowest cost possible — if it they were open on weekends, I’d use them for everything. Thanks, Maish’s Auto Service!
