McCurry’s Shady Grove Service Center

Bill is as honest as the day comes and that is what you want in a auto service provider! TWO THUMBS UP!

Got my brakes checked out and it apparently needed new calipers, smoothed, rotors, bake pads, and break fluid flushed for $ 700. I called my husband and he said no… so I ended up not getting the services. Good thing because all we needed was an alignment which cost $ 20 and now everything is perfect! Our calipers are in very good condition. Not sure what was going on. I still like the guy… but was I taken advantage of? *Sigh*

We were just in town for a few days and our air conditioning broke. We are headed out to warmer climates so it needed to be fixed as quick as possible. I took it to McCurry’s to see what needed to be done. They did a diagnosis of the problem (free of charge) within a few hours Bill had called me back to let me know what the issues were and how we could fix them.
By the next day he had parts in and waiting for me as I drove in and had it completely torn down and fixed by the end of the day. He let me know there was a larger problem with the ac but that they could make it work until we could get someplace stable and fix it better. All in all I am completely happy with the speed, the service and professinality that these guys had to offer. If you need your car worked on in the Bethesda area and you don’t go here you need to rethink your plans. Amazing service. Thank you so much!

McCurry’s is hands down the best auto service shop in town. I was impressed when I pulled up and glanced over the layout of the shop. Most shops are a nightmare, disorganized and not very clean. This shop is just as squared away as a military maintenance shop, things being dress-​right-​dress and squared away. You can assume that if the shop looks good-​to-​go, everything else is and I was right. Had both cars inspected, and routine maintenance such as tire alignment, tire rotation and oil changes without fail.
Highly recommend, Joe McCurry and his team are competent and professional mechanics who know what they’re doing.

I’ve been using these guys for several years – started when they were located on Shady Grove Road in Rockville. They are awesome. Being a single woman with no male friends or brothers who know anything about cars, I have been extremely pleased with their work and their honesty with me. I’ve never felt I’ve overpaid for something or had something done that was not necessary.
I highly recommend this service center.

This place is located right next to Ormsby Auto, and I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit that I went there by mistake thinking it was Ormsby.
Well it turned out great anyway! I needed a certificate of inspection, had no appointment, and was in a hurry. They got right on it and I had a passing inspection within two hours. They didn’t try to sell me any other services or charge me anything extra.
I didn’t get any other work done, so I can’t speak to quality in other respects, but they were very honest and quick with the inspection. For new residents to Maryland who need one, I would highly recommend this business.

I’ve used Joe McCurry’s shop (I think his first name is Joe, at least) for a few minor automotive errands — I’m mostly a do-​it-​yourselfer, but there are plenty of things I can’t do for lack of professional equipment — like tire mounting/​dismounting/​balancing. I can’t say much about their more serious work, but they’ve always been fairly priced, prompt, and professional about minor jobs. McCurry was attentive enough to point out a bend in one of my ’95 M3’s wheels when mounting new tires. A bit picky when it comes to MD Inspection, but I’m sure everyone’s trying to glean a few extra dollars in today’s economic climes… a bit understaffed as a result, most likely, so I wouldn’t expect to use them as a get-​in-​and-​get-​out place for anything beyond basic maintenance, but again, I’ve only used them for minor stuff, so I can’t really speculate. If you can plan in advance, you’ll probably be fine. Very convenient access to the Shady Grove metro.
