Autotech Import & Domestic Repairs

Found through Matthew’s review chain…
These guys were straight forward and explained everything thoroughly to me (my first test as a woman in a mechanic’s office). When things got more expensive than planned, they offered me a discount on the additional work because «neither you or I was expecting for you to pay this much.» All-​in-​all the place was very rough around the edges (you don’t want to spend significant time in their office) but they were straight-​forward, seemed very honest, and provided cheaper services than other places. I’ll be going back.

So far, I am a fan! Came here because of Matt’s review. Ralph the shop manager is the best. Replaced shocks/​struts on my GF’s car. Fair prices and timely service. Go see Ralph if you need some work done. He’ll treat you right!

I had intermittent brake lites-​Phil wiggled my left turn signal stick and said it needed replacing– about $ 500 — $ 600 in repair. A friend took out the brake light bulbs and replaced them for $ 5 and they work perfectly. Don’t think I’ll return to auto Tech.

These guys are awesome.
Had a completely bogus repair estimate from an «unnamed» shop but these guys checked my car out and billed me the correct amount — ½ of the other place. Every time I’ve come in here it was less than I expected and the work is done right.
Only drawback — It’s a smallish shop. They don’t keep weekend or evening hours so if you want lightning fast repairs it could be an issue if you’re a 1^st time customer. I still give them 5 stars though, because they make it happen if I’m really pressed.
It’s hard to find a good mechanic — check these guys out and keep their # in your cell & wallet. You won’t regret it.
ask for Phil (owner). Nice guy… for a Yankee ;)
(EDIT: Google maps is wrong. You see that road it intersects with is a little loop. It’s at the other end of that loop — where 17 hits college park, not Royal road.)
