Calvert’s Express Auto Service & Tire

I frequently visited this location when it used to be Firestone, so I thought I’d try my luck with a new company. First impression made me a little nervous — the auto technician was sleeping in a chair behind the front desk. Maybe he had a rough night. He was woken up by the front desk gal who seemed to also have had a rough night perhaps. That aside, I asked for an oil change and was in and out in about 20 minutes. The only up-​sell was to top off my fluids.
The waiting room area is a tad sparse. It’s in the middle of the former Firestone showroom area and consists of about 10 – 15 chairs laid out in a circle. Sitting there along with another person, I felt like I was part of an Alcoholics Anonymous session. With the new ownership being brand new, perhaps they still haven’t finished decorating.
I’ll give the place another shot down the line, although with all the vast amount of competition on Watson Rd, it’s going to need to find a good way to shine above the rest.
