About us
The year was 1983, and Kim and I had been married for two years. At the time I was delivering concrete for a company in Rockville, MD, but I had an idea. In my early 20s I had worked and managed several tire shops in Gettysburg, PA, my hometown. Now I wanted to return to that industry that I had a passion for, so I found the perfect location to start an auto repair business in New Market, MD. Lawson’s AMC was closing and the building was for rent. A lease was signed and Krietz Auto Repair, Inc. was off and running!

I have never seen such incredible customer service anywhere else before. I have used KAS on two separate occasions prior to this incident and have always been extremely satisfied with their customer service, the quality of their work and the cleanliness of their facility. The employees there have always been courteous and helpful. I was always offered a loaner car (which I have never required) and given directions to eating establishments within walking distance of their facility. KAS was recommended to me by another customer when my daughter and I were new to Frederick and looking for an honest mechanic who would not take advantage of the fact that we were women and were unfamiliar with car repair. While waiting for my car on a previous occasion, I noticed how many repeat customers had come in and how everyone seemed to know everyone. It is a good sign that this family owned business has repeat customers who have been frequenting the business for many years. I am very happy and we will continue using Krietz Auto Service in the future!
All-in-all, the service appears to be over-priced. As an example - $130 for a diagnostic service for a truck manufactured prior to 1980 seems excessive.
Now, price? We probably could find service less expensive nearby. However, the old adage may apply in this case: "You Get What You Pay For". Good quality, honesty, and nice folks from the front to the back.
Lets not overlook the warranty on repair work 30 months or 30,000 miles. Can you say the same of your hairdresser or doctor? In my opinion... that assurance is priceless!
