Auto repair service near Columbia, MD

Worked with Carlos to have a lift kit put on my brand new Ram 1500 Laramie. Price was reasonable so decided to go with them. Had appointment set for 8am but when i got there at that time Carlos told me he wouldn't be able to get to the car until after 10 so dropped the truck off at 10am. I never heard from anyone all day so called at about 4:42 PM and Carlos told the tech would need about another hour and they would call and let me know. I never heard from them so called again a little before 6PM and was told the truck was ready but there were two issues with the truck. Carlos stated the first issue is the front axle came out during the install but it would not impact the drivability of the car as long as it was on road but would create major problems if the car was used off road. Also, when the car is on a lift with the wheels hanging the axle would slip out. I explained to him that this does not sound correct and from the research I had done in preparation for the install found that no one who had installed a lift kit had these problems or would be limited to just on street driving. The reason lift kits are installed is to allow for off-roading. When I shared this with him his response was "those forum members install in their driveway with jack stands so they would not experience this but its normal". I told him that made no sense to be and I would need to see what he was talking about and scheduled to pick it up the next morning when he could put it on the lift to demonstrate what he was telling me. The next morning I arrived at the shop to discuss the issues and visually capture what he was talking about. He did not put the truck on the lift to show me the issue discussed and said the install was done correctly and not to worry about it. The other issue was he could not do the alignment since the truck was brand new. He agreed to subtract the cost of the alignment as I would have to take care of it on my own. I took the truck to a reputable repair shop who was able to do the alignment. While about to perform the the alignment the technician identified damage to the axle as there was tremendous amount of bearing grease that was pushed out of the axle boot. He, as an installer of lift kits, said this occurred due to the installation of kit being done incorrectly and explained that they didnt remove one part of the suspension correctly which caused the axle or axle boot to be damaged. There was grease on the entire lower axle and inside and outside the wheel. He wiped some of the grease from the area to inspect for damage to the boot, which he located. I called Carlos and let him know that the tech had seen the issue and told me the cause of the damage. Carlos told me he and I were not discussing the same issue and I told him I will be taking it to the dealership for them to assess the damage. I fully expect to be reimbursed for any damages once the dealership assesses the damage. I am very disappointed as the truck is a $66,000 dollar investment that I entrusted to Kelley's Performance & Kustoms since Carlos convinced me that he had the experience and would take care of the vehicle. I am nervous to hear the cost of the damage and knowing it will not be covered under warranty will be looking for the company to cover the cost of the damages plus any follow on work to get the vehicle back to new condition.

The price of the vehicle I purchased changed (increased $300.42 by his wife ) from the agreed upon original vehicle price I made with Mr. M--- after I signed and closed the bill of sale with him. This increase affected the amount financed. When I brought this matter to the attention of Salim (his wife) , she stated that the finance company was charging me the $300.42 for not paying cash and because they were financing the balance of the sell for me. I contacted the financial institution WL and the representative stated that their company does not charge such a fee. The finance company was concerned that bogus information was being given to customer. I immediate called the salesman and his wife. I left a message for the wife. I spoke to M---- who stated that this fee was the Ameri-Benz doc fee. I told him I had already been billed a doc fee of $29.00. He told me to contact his wife, who will not return my calls. I have been calling the salesman and his wife since 3/2/2016 (made my concern known on 3/1/16) to date. I have called the dealership twice to try to resolve this matter to obtain a refund for the erroneous fees she assessed me. I have placed 7 telephone calls collectively to the owner and to his wife (who prepared the loan papers) and to date neither of them will return my telephone call.

Tony and his crew do fantastic work! He helps us with our Maryland Inspections on our vehicles! Marcello T.

Wife and I have been customers for many years in one way or another and no complaints at all. Work performed over the years include oil changes, brake pads, brake shoes, rotors, ignition coil replacement, valve cover gasket replacement, radiator replacement, serpentine belt replacement...and no complaints! Not one single complaint! Rob and the mechanics at Airpark Certified Auto Service are top notch! They're reliable, they're honest, they're just a great group of people all around. It's comforting to know when the unexpected happens, like today, we have Rob and his crew to turn to for help. Support your local mom and pop businesses, especially when they're this great. There's no reason not to. I would refer anyone who is in need of repairs to contact Airpark Certified Auto Service and rest assured they are in great hands.

I love the honesty and service Mike provided. I brought in a n older BMW for Maryland state inspection and not only was he quick he didn't try to sell e a bunch of stuff I didn't need. Can't beat that.

I have taken several BMWs to Dan over the past 10 years. He is the most honest engineer you will ever find. His prices are reasonable and the quality of work is excellent. Don't bother going to the dealership unless you need a rental car and a cappuccino.

Dmitry and Michael are the people I normally deal with on regular basis. When another mechanic told me I needed a lot of work done on my car, they told me that I only needed new tires (and I do, that's true). I have been going to them for over 10 years, and I have also recommended their services to my friends. When my friend's car broke down, one shop quoted her to change the waterpump and timing belt over $1000, and Dmitry fixed it for a lot less.

Had been going to this guy for 15 years. In April 2014 Took my car in, guy kept if first 2 weeks, didn't address the problem. Afterwards I had to return the vehicle 6 times and he still didn't repair the problem. Took the car to the dealer who found the problem and said GAC had installed a cheap aftermarket part (not OEM) that was incompatible with the vehicle that doesn't take aftermarket parts. This guy ripped me off and refuses to reimburse me. Also I asked from the beginning for the parts he replaced, he lied saying I never asked for the parts. He did the same thing to my daughter. I would never take my car back to this guy after the way he ripped me off.

We know your car inside and out!
