I worked with Larry and he was very helpful, honest, timely and knowledgable. I was told by dealership I needed front and rear brakes. I knew I needed rear brakes because of the grinding so assumed same for the front. Larry and his team looked at my car, and found that I still had 80% left on my front brakes and only needed repair to the rear for now. They took the time to provide a full overview of the cost associated for each item. Really did an excellent job and very professional. I'll likely bring my car here to get future service as opposed to the dealership!! Thank you Larry for an excellent job, I greatly appreciate it! Juliet G

Excellent. They were nice, professional and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. Pricing was significantly cheaper than my dealer. That gave me a loaner car and finished the work in 1 day. I'll definitely be back.

Great service! My wife’s power steering went out far from home - horrible screeching and the wheel wouldn’t turn. After a quick phone call and tow, the car was in the shop and the problem diagnosed. Not long later, she was on the road again. Very glad that she found quick and professional help.

It was a rough start at first only because my car didn't pass the inspection. Coming back from the U.K. my car had some light issues due to regulation standards. I couldn't get anyone to fix the issue until the following week. Once the issue was fixed, I returned to get the car reinspected. Larry and Kevin were so NICE, COURTEOUS, and HONEST during the entire ordeal. Even more amazing, they didn't charge me any additional fees (going over 1,000 miles). It was a pleasure meeting them and I would recommend them to anyone! It's truly refreshing to come back home to the U.S. where great customer service is actually a thing.

I dropped the car off the morning on the day before they were scheduled to work on it. However, by that afternoon, the car was ready. A new fuel pump was installed at no cost to me. They guarantee new parts for life and there was no haggling when it failed.
Description of Work
Previously, they replaced the fuel pump on my Ford Explorer. Unfortunately, even though the fuel pump was new, it had a bad check valve. The engine would have to be cranked for several seconds before it ran because the fuel would have to be pumped up.

Dave at the Ellicott city location was great. A very professional person who was very helpful. He arranged for a tow truck and gave me a loaner car so that I could pick up my daughter at school later that day. He also provided me with timely updates on the status of my repair. I highly recommend.

I visited them for a help needed with changing brake pads on my CLA250. I was suggested to change them asap by the dealer and I found Autostream by a neighbor welcome letter in my mail box. I checked the ratings before reaching out to them and I'm flattered by their professionalism. I was given a ride back home telling that they will do the free evaluation of the situation and will let me know what exactly is going on with the braking system. After an hour or so, I got a call from the manager of the facility, Mr. Dave, that there seems to be a problem with the front left wheel which was worn down as against the other pads and would try to reach out the dealership on my behalf and enquire if there a chance of covered under warranty. That was the right call because, following that I visited the dealership to understand what actually was going on there. It appeared that they changed my pads 6 months back only and are pretty much within the warranty. Moreover, I wanted to understand why only the left wheel, which will hopefully be answered in my visit which is scheduled in the next week. Bottom line, though I did not get a chance to get to work with these awesome people, I'll be working with them from now on.

It went fine. I did give "B"s for punctuality and responsiveness because the wrong part was delivered and it took a little extra time. I will very likely use AutoStream again, as they were honest, fair and reasonable price.
Description of Work
I had a problem on an old pickup with more than 200,000 miles. I had self-diagnosed a bad ABS speed sensor but changing the part was difficult without a lift, etc. The folks at AutoStream in Dorsey Hall listened to me, followed up on what i thought was wrong, confirmed it and changed the part all for what I consider a fair price. They also did an overall check of the vehicle and did find a more expensive problems (ball joints) which i do believe are bad. Will plan to have done in the near future. I would have given all "A" s

Excellent. Very accommodating with the schedule. I'm new to the area and they provided lots of good advice and directions to places. Gave me a loaner while my car was being repaired. Professional, polite and very friendly. Highly recommend.

The inspector did not know the law regarding tint on the rear windows of an SUV. I sent them numerous references about the tint law and instead of the inspector verifying the law, they made me take the vehicle to the state police to have the tint approved. This was a major inconvenience that was unnecessary since the law is very clear about tint. Their error almost cost me a $100 to have all the tint unnecessarily removed. I feel sorry for anyone else who had to pay for tint removal because this station did not know the tint law and was unwilling to verify when their decision was questioned.

All tint on the vehicle is required to be tested. It must allow 35% of light in. A tint test is required on all vehicles with tint. If it fails the test, it must be removed. There is no discretion on the Inspector's part.Barry D.

Excellent service, fair prices. They never ask you to do unnecessary things and they always explain everything and all of your options. Very friendly, easy to get appointments and overall just a great experience every time. We moved to the area last year and had to find a car service place and we are very lucky to have found this one!

I take all four of my cars to Autostream because they do such a great job! As a single mother with children still at home, I don't have the time to keep searching for the best place for tires, for brakes, etc. The Ellicott City Autostream is my go-to for everything! I don't bother trying anywhere else. Although they can sometimes be a little pricey, it is well worth it when you know that they are trustworthy and that the job is done properly. I constantly recommend Autostream to anyone who has car issues. With four cars there is always a car which needs something, so it is giving me such peace of mind to know that I can trust them. I think Kelly is the perfect blend of professional and compassionate, as well as seeming to know everything about cars! I'm so glad I found them! It is such a relief and gives me tremendous peace of mind to know that they are taking care of me. I am well cared-for.

Kelly was able to diagnose the problem with shaky steering as a bad tire. I anticipated within $50 the cost of 2 new tires.

Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The work area and waiting area are nice and clean. All the work was explained to me in a very understandable way. Kelly McGregor has always been so helpful, friendly. She lets me feel that someone is really looking out for "me" and my welfare. She totally takes the stress out of having my car serviced.

Appointment was promptly made to my schedule needs. I was seen right on time. Oil change and total review of all of my systems was reviewed in a very moderate time.

They were very professional, easy to deal with, honest, and punctual. They will steer you away from tires if they feel you can get it done cheaper somewhere else. The get the job done when they say they are going to.
