My previous automobile was an Outback, which Satellite Motors did not service at that time. When I purchased a new car, one of the main reasons why I changed to Toyota was that I could get it serviced at Satellite Motors.
I would recommend them to anyone.
What have they done? All maintenance & repair work, including warranty work which I've paid for, rather than going to a dealer for "free" warranty service. I keep my cars till the wheels fall off, and to do that I need a mechanic who does all the routine maintenance, makes sure I get whatever additional work on the brakes, transaxel, etc. is necessary at longer intervals, and fixes the sorts of things that can happen to even Toyotas as they go above 100K miles. Now, if you keep your car for a long time and do routine maintenance, sometimes stuff happens--a hubcap isn't put on properly, something breaks during a repair, etc. The folks have Satellite have always, always been excellent at standing behind the work and making good when the unexpected happens. They're fantastic; I'll never go anywhere else.
Note, I have been bringing my cars to Satellite Motors since the mid 1980's for maintenance and repair - they are totally reliable, honest, nice people, skilled, and not exorbitantly priced like dealerships. It is worth the trek from Alexandria to Silver Spring.
