Service stations service near Lanham, MD

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.

These guys know the Mercedes and BMW brands, and they provide excellent maintenance and service at prices WELL BELOW the dealership service center's price! AND I receive a comlimentary wash and vacuum of my 5 series at each visit. Instead of Silver Star, you should be called FIVE STARS!!!!!

I just had my car inspected a few months ago, and the car passed inspection with fkying colors. I had some difficulty registering my out of state car, therefore, the certificate ran out. I took the car to this exxon for a new inspection and all of a sudden there are three issues with it. They immediately starting offering quotes to fix these "issues". Must have thought I was some easy mark from out of state. Besides being extremely rude, I believe they either damaged my car to make money, or made stuff up. See it all the time from shops like this on Dateline, 60 minutes.

STEER CLEAR! Sunoco 9395 Baltimore National Pike! I took my Honda in to have a diagnostic run on why the engine light was on. I worked a full day and walked back over after work to get a run down on what was wrong. The service guy went through a list of 4 items that needed to be done on the car - 1 was urgent, 3 were not. I went through the list one-by-one with him and confirmed my wish to hold off on the 3 non-urgent items. He confirmed that they would perform the 1 urgent repair, that they had been able to flip the engine light off (no explanation given), and that it would be ready in the morning. I went over to get my car the next day at lunch. The invoice was $572. higher than we had discussed. I immediately asked for an explanation, which seemed to annoy him. It turns out that they had completed one of the non-urgent repairs that I had explicitly said NOT to do. He knew this; he wrote it down when we discussed it. Not only had they done work I told them not to do, but their solution to the situation was for them to keep my car another day and reverse the work they'd done. Because I wouldn't need my car? Seriously. That was as creative of a solution as they could manage. Clearly this particular Sunoco is not interested in retaining long-term customers. I will drive back to my old mechanic now even though he is a half hour away since I moved. I was hoping that I could make a good neighborhood contact. I was wrong. They had my wife in tears. Very sad and terribly uncomfortable transaction

Went there on Oct 16, 2015 for a simple oil change, have already filed with the BBB, car was running fine, told me I needed a qt of transmission fluid, I said fine, the minute I left the car began bucking, that was a Friday, please also note I am a female, on Saturday really didn't drive much as my son took me to PA in his car but when I did in the early am still the same problem, bucking and not shifting appropriately. On Sunday took the car to Walmart, much worse, it actually shut off, check engine light came on, cruise control light came on, had to turn off car, wait, gingerly start back up and ease my way back home. I called my mechanic. He came over. Let's start with the fact that I was 1 1/2 quarts low on oil (2 days after an oil change) and my transmission fluid was bone dry), he put 2 1/2 quarts of transmission fluid in, told me to go to work the next day have the guys pull it in the shop and hook it up to see if it throws any codes and then go over it with a fine tooth comb. See what Charm City didn't know is that I really hate to bother my mechanics for an oil change so I go there, but I've been working with mechanics for 16 years, so they pulled my car in the shop went over it and still had to add another quart of transmission fluid. My certified mechanics have told me that either charm city pulled the transmission plug and drained the tranny fluid or they used a fluid evacuator, when I confronted the owner who took offense to my language and really who wouldn't be pissed, he could have blown up my transmission..he lied, he said a fluid evacuator takes an hours...sorry bud....5 to 8 minutes....his mechanic lied and said he put 6 quarts of oil in my car...first off...why would you put 6 quarts when you only need to put 5 and you didn't put 5...liar...I don't care that you've been in business for 26 years, you saw a female coming in who never uses you for service and you thought you could get some service work from me, so you drained my tranny fluid and then had the gall to ask why I didn't come back, because you are untrustworthy, BEWARE ONE AND ALL. I have 2 certified mechanics that will testify to my story. This place needs to be investigated!!!!

THANK GOODNESS I BROUGHT MY CAR IN WHEN I DID! THE MECHANIC TOLD ME MY DRIVER SIDE AXLE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF! I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS MY BRAKES! THANK YOU MID ATLANTIC SERVICE CENTER!

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

This store conducted an MD Inspection on my car for $70. It manager, Bill, whiling giving me a FREE coffee, recommended a $1600 repair list so that my car can pass. I went to another nearby garage, and my car passed the same inspection for a just minor bulb replacement.

My vehicle has broken down 3 times since I had work done at this shop! They claimed to have fixed the problem yet I just returned from getting Antifreeze to fill my radiator after my lower hose popped off an hour away from home! Thank goodness I was around a mechanic who was kind enough to help me or I would have been up a creek! Stay away if you don't want the hassle. Very Dissatisfied!
