Auto inspection service near Essex, MD

On Oct 30, 2013 I bought a 2010 Honda Insight from your company Car Finders of MD, for $10,747.00. Owner Mr. Corbitt told me that the car was in good shape and didn’t get into any major accident except a couple scratches on the rear end bumper. He insured me that the bumper will only cost around $600-$700 to fix the minor problem with me agreeing to pay $400. From outside, the problem was fixed along with the car passing the Maryland inspection from BP station located at 5612 Balt. National Pike. After I brought it to my trusted auto shop making sure everything working properly. According to Chao’s auto he told me that the muffler was touching the bumper and it was not safe to drive around in winter time. He suggested me to take the car into an auto body shop to inspect everything. After detail inspection, Han’s auto body shop stated that the car had been in a big impact from the rear end. The rear body panel needed to be replaced while the rear body needed to be fixed as well as the muffler that needed to be out so it wouldn’t touch the bumper to cause fire. In addition, the rear right wheel is now bended and needed to be replaced. The total cost of repair is $1800-$2000, and will need at least one week to be fixed. On Nov 14, 2013, I took the car back to BP Station where the car got inspection with MD state police automotive safety enforcement officers. They both agreed that the Honda insight should have not been passed the inspection. BP station is at fault due to they're negligence and very careless with inspection. Not only did Car Finder LLC fail to disclose the truth regarding the rear floor. BP station should do a better job to protect consumer right. To resolve the problem, I would appreciate Car Finder of MD, LLC and BP station share the responsibility and reimburse me the repair cost, with a total is $1800. I sent both company the certified letter on Nov 18 but both have no response. This is second approach before I go to small claim suit.

I recently took my Mercedes to this shop for repair because after owning the car for 12 years, I am tired of the pretentious attitudes and high prices of the dealership service department. API is a great alternative. The people who work at API are familiar with Mercedes cars, have the right tools to service them, and are able to get the right parts. Most importantly, they are friendly and make their customers feel valued. I plan to continue taking my car to API for future service needs!

My Volvo broke down near their station and I had my car towed there for repair. Unfortunately the car was not worth fixing but fortunately I came across a great service station. I've since purchased a used Subaru and have had it there for service and couldn't be happier. Brian Ben and their staff are excellent mechanics and extremely honest. If you are looking for a repair shop don't hesitate to give them a chance you will be very happy. Mark V.

1.0 star rating 7/10/2019 I dropped my 1982 VW off at Hartloves in August 23,2017 to have John get the engine running (as it was not running for 7years)if he could and get it roadworthy. After many months he and crew got the car running and contacted me so I went to MVA got tags ,insurance in February 2019. When coming to pick up vehicle the mechanic said he had it on the road doing 80 mph and ran like a top but ran the gas tank empty and the new fuel injection system and filters had to be cleaned and repaired/replaced. i went to the facility and inquired as to why they didn't replace fuel tank,oil filter before road testing and was told by John that NOW the engine is smoking. I chalked up after $1,000 into this that lets just rebuild the engine at my expense,replace gas tank and sending unit April 15,2019.As of now July 10,2019 have tried to contact John to no avail. My wife and I went to his office July 10,2019 where his secretary could not contact him or give us any information as to parts ordered,where the engine is rebuilt,time frame,looking at vehicle engine is out no new gas tank installed at this time, car sitting outside same place. I have all conversations recorded and will keep everyone posted as to resolution. Anyone can contact me 410-980-5881 if needed. Mike Gnip USMC Veteran

I have never come across a more honest mechanic than A.D. I used to own a used 2006 Nissan Frontier and brought it here several times. The quality of repairs and maintenance done on this vehicle is very impressive.

These guys are top notch and are trustworthy. They always go above and beyond. With all the horror stories you hear about other mechanics, it is refreshing to have such honest and courteous mechanics right in our backyard. Brandon and his crew have been servicing my wife's car for the past year and a half and it's been an awesome experience. Do yourself and your car a favor and check them out. You will not regret it. -Samuel
