They got the issue I came in for solved very quickly, but I only picked it up to find a new, far far more expensive issue with my engine (making a very loud obvious, noise, I might add) through my own inspection before even leaving the lot. Just find it hard to imagine how they could have missed the new noise the engine was making, when I brought it in for a different nosie.

The nicest crew I ve ever met. The owner was super nice and very accommodating. $20 for oil change and $25 for tire patch. We had a flat tire and they eventually replaced all four tires with very reasonable price and even worked after hours to get it done in one afternoon. Highly recommended for any auto mechanics work.

I was driving my 06 Escalade from New Jersey to Florida and towing a boat when I blew a brake line during a hard sudden stop on I-95. After a quick Google search, I discovered that College Park Auto Service was the closest mechanic shop. I then drove the 1.7 miles at 5 mph with the hazards on using the emergency brake to stop. Upon arriving at the shop, Tek and his team provided me with a safe place to park my boat. They had my vehicle up on the lift within 15 minutes of my arrival to determine what needed to be done. I had only replaced one brake line previously, and as it turned out, all of the remaining lines including the one that failed were heavily rusted. Tek recommended the full replacement of all the lines, and after having observed them myself, I concurred. He then gave me an estimate of the work which I considered to be very fair. He promised me that he would start working on my vehicle later that afternoon, and that it would be done by 5pm the next day. The vehicle was delivered on time, and the price was the same as the estimate. I greatly appreciated this since I know that the mechanics ran into some unexpected issues which cost them extra time.I highly recommend College Park Auto Service. Tek and his team are top notch mechanics. They provide quality workmanship and excellent customer service!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

Tek accommodated my need for some quick services and was immediately available on short notice in a sunday! His prices were fare and he was friendly and knowledgeable!Google needs to differentiate between gas station and service hours. call first to make sure they can accommodate you.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Update: May 2023. Price has gone up. So I started looking for other places.This has been the new place for my car maintenance and repair. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable and efficient. They do not overcharge. If a replacement or repair is not necessary, they will let you know so you do not need to spend unnecessary money.

I am a Taxi Driver/Fleet Owner from out of town I needed my car to have a diagnostics done I called at 10:00 a.m. told him I'd get there about 11:00 a.m. 11:15 a.m.Arrived a little early 10:50 10:55Call the phone number again to let them know I was outside because nobody approached me in the parking lot like you cannot see a big blue white with pink letters TaxiQuoted me on the $85 for diagnosis however he did not tell me I would have to leave my cabFor what and not for a whole dayMy issue had to do with maintaining temperatures either staying too cool or too hotThat doesn't take much of a check and it does not require me to leave my vehicle or get out...The shop keep said do you have the I said I have 1200 I can more than pay for the diagnostic.... And more likely the repair but I am not wanting to leave my vehicle here or any shopI always stay with my vehicle while it's being worked on most the time in it...He said so you'll just have to come back another time I said I'll have to find another shop I'm not from in town and I have no idea where I'm going to be day to dayPolite enough but they need to make sure to inform people for the Diagnostic they would have to be willing to leave their car not when they show up tell somebody all of a suddenIf I knew that I would have never came or even specified an arrival time to be expected I was anticipating being able to be seen rather quickly and at least get the Diagnostic done

Chenara and his wife have been running this place for years, I have been trusting them for at least the last 12. It's always the same guys working on your car, they are great on price and very helpful looking for after-market parts if your car make stops being produced. I always call ahead but they always can take my car when I need them right away, like I did today when my battery died. Nice, affordable, trustworthy shop!

Great service. I dropped off my used truck in the morning for a Maryland State Inspection and picked it up at noon. The mechanic was very thorough, checking each of the required elements. They even went as far as to repair one of the elements that failed at no extra charge.Definitely not the same experience as the previous reviewer.

I purchased new tires at College Park Auto today. They offered a competitive price and were friendly and efficient. Great business to work with.

STAY AWAY! I called to pay for my diagnostic fee since I found a car repair shop nearby that charged $200 less then them to repair my car. She refused to take my payment for my car over the phone. I explained to the Asian lady who works the desk that they had my car and I had no way to get to them. She said "It's not my problem! Take a bus or train." Very unprofessional. Way too expensive for repairs. They wanted 695 plus tax while the repair shop I'm taking it to is charging me 490 for everything. Big Difference.

Charged me a special discount for checking out the engine light and a smoke test, regular price 75.00 each but dropped to 100.00. They then quoted me over 1000.00 for repairs which my regular mechanic fixed for less than 100.00 overall. Nice enough customer service but far too heavily overpriced.

Call this company for a tow and they were there within minutes. Channara was helpful and professional. My car was safely towed to the tire shop and they did not over charge me. Great service would definitely recommend them.

I called in the morning to schedule an appointment for safety inspection. The person on the phone told me to drop my car. When I reached there, the lady at the counter said they were at lunch and told me to come back after 40 min. I waited and after about 50 min, I was told that they were busy and couldn t do the inspection. They wasted more than 3 hours of my time, and even didn t offer an apology.

I have taken my cars here for years. They are the only service people I trust. Their prices are very reasonable, and they are honest to a fault. No waiting room at all, and no cafe close by are the only downsides.

I went here for a car inspection (I'm a new MD resident) and I hold the mechanics and staff at this family-run business VERY VERY suspect. Most likely assuming and playing on my naivety, I was quoted big dollars for small fixes needed to pass inspection and which I solved myself:I was told I need a new wiper motor for $340 since my wipers didn't go down on their own. I fixed this with a $15 relay I purchased at AutoZone.I was told I need a new brake light assembly (not just the bulbs). They didn't quote a price but said it could be a lot. I replaced the bulbs myself (so it was the bulbs after all) for $30 at Walmart. They did not even remove the covering for the brake lights and my car remained in their lot all day.When I fixed these problems myself and returned to pass the inspection, they did not seem surprised, maybe just disappointed they were unable to scam me.In short, I will never visit this place for any service again and I would advise others to avoid them as well.

This auto repair business is one of the absolute BEST, and most honest auto repair establishments that I have ever encountered. The proprietor, "Chanara Keam," and his staff perform top quality auto repairs at a very reasonable price, compared to their competitors. In addition, they guarantee their work. Although my husband and I have relocated to a nearby state now, we still choose College Park Auto Service for our vehicle repairs. It's worth the long distance trip to patronize this reputable business. I trust my Volvo to Chanara Keam and his staff. Sincerely, Terresa.

Got an oil change here and then my oil change light came on again 3 weeks later. Then I tried to go back and tell them but I got ignored completely. Worst place I ve ever had to deal with. If I could give zero stars I would. DONT GO HERE!

They ruined my car. It ran fine until I took it there to put in oxygen censors. Now doesn't run at all. I now have to have it towed to another garage.

Don't go anywhere else for your vehicle needs. When fixing a vehicle is difficult, the owner/manager FINDS A WAY. Never utters the word "no."I'm a lifetime "car dude." Most other places I've gone I see attitude, mistakes, DELAYS, etc.Not here. The owner DOESN'T SAY NO. And his mechanics follow through.Not usually the wayIn Millenial USA.

Pumps always out of orderBut it's an oasis it's hidden and away it's okay during day light. Have never been at night. Just be careful the place is small inside

Don't go this place for an inspection. They lied to me that if I don't fix this and that my car can stop on a highway. I didn't believe that and wanted my car back, but they charged me inspection fee anyway, even though they didn't issue a certificate. Another mechanic I visited after confirmed that that was a lie and issued a certificate.

This is the only place I will take my car to be worked on. Always quick and helpful. Reasonably priced.
