Auto repair service near Highland, MD

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

Horrible!! They took 30k to paint my 1967 Chevelle and help in the restoration - My life savings and lifelong dream, just recovering from cancer! I disassembled and then reassembled for them. The car paint is peeling and reacting; the emblems on each of the car are off - one emblem is 3 inches higher than the other. None of the body panels line up. The right side of the body sits on the frame, they destroyed the original hood, and welded emblem holes shut and then tried to re-drill them out and left a gaping hole under the emblem. I had them put new doors on and when they gutted the old ones and built the new ones, they put the old wing window seals back, when I had provided new ones that were opened and out of the bag when I got the car back. Car was towed back with no body bolts - car could have come off of the truck while being towed back to me, this has been a year ago and I still cannot get them to fix their MESS.. The whole car is ruined, was better and worth more before they started. The owner laughed at me when I asked for my money back. All that cost was only for paint and the labor. I handed it to them on a platter and got it back in a mess! Seeking legal action now!!! What a disaster, he took advantage! What’s worse is that I had even more problems pointed out to me from another shop who was installing the exhaust. So many problems from this shop and not enough room to write about them. And they laugh at me, have not tried to come get the car or even inspect the issues since August 2013!!! DO NOT USE THIS SHOP!! They will take advantage and ruin your dreams. And continually ask for more money while they have the vehicle, for other costs.

I can't say enough good things about J & F Motors. I became a customer in 2011 when the warranty on my 2004 BMW 545i ran out. I felt that I couldn't get good answers from BMW dealerships and every time I went in, I didn't feel comfortable with their answers and what I was paying for. From day one, J & F has exceeded my expectations with their level of customer service, taking the time to explain to me what has gone wrong, what needs to be repaired asap and what can wait. I am a fanatic when it comes to my car and they understand that. They are what an automotive repair shop should strive to model themselves after.

I have gone here for fuel, state inspections, tire repair, oil changes and have always been satisfied. Gus, the manager is friendly and will happily give you an estimate ahead of time for any work on your car. Eric Mckean

I can't say enough positive things about Ty Nguyen's Arlington Auto Shop. I lucked into it about eight years when I was again hit while parking on DC streets. Ty offers personal, reliable service with free estimates. Work is reasonably priced, done on time and is guaranteed. I have recommended his shop to several of my friends and they were equally pleased. My car is ten years old and looks new as Ty uses excellent products and does paint matching that restores my car to its original look. Try this shop once and you will be back.
